For scholars, without books, they cannot broaden their horizons.

Now it’s different. Fang Jifan has money, and he bought all the handwritten manuscripts and collections printed on the market. He can read them casually. Moreover, Ouyang Zhi and the other two were very different when they were won by the juren. They began to make friends through literature every now and then, and their knowledge has improved a lot.

When dealing with these three guys, Fang Jifan used the method of free-range stocking, but in order to deal with the next year's examination, Fang Jifan gave them many questions. Now there is a lot of time. Fang Jifan was clear about the questions for the spring examination next year. In the 12th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi ordered the Crown Prince Shaobao Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion Li Dongyang, and the Right Minister of Rites and the Hanlin Scholar Cheng Minzheng as the examiner of the examination. Fang Jifan also knew the questions and palace examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examination questions of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the examinations of the palace examinations.

However, there will be a small episode in this exam, which will involve the imperial examination cases of examiner Cheng Minzheng, Jiangnan talented man Xu Jing and Tang Yin.

This...is a unique test.

Fang Jifan's thoughts changed and he smiled slightly.

As for Ouyang Zhi and the other two, Fang Jifan was not worried because he really would not cheat and did not intend to deal with any future examiners. He just needed to give some "questions" and then hide the real questions in the sea of ​​questions, so that the three students could train their compositions.

In order to prepare for the exam, Ouyang Zhi and the other two worked very hard. From early morning to midnight, they worked hard to write questions and read wildly, and did not dare to slack off at all.

I didn't expect that they would have such leisure today.

Fang Jifan looked at Ouyang Zhi and the other two with the expression of being your father. He sat down and dusted the dust on his body. "Oh, hello you guys, why don't you study today?"

The three of them looked at each other, then looked at Master Fang Jinglong.

Fang Jinglong grinned and said, "I have had a sudden idea recently. Yes, yes, that's right, my father checked the account the day before yesterday, hey... I lost a lot of money. If this continues, how can I do it? The million-dollar silver sold in the ebony, the silver in the family is about to be empty because of your trouble. Only a shop in the East City and a farmer outside the city. As a wife, I am looking forward to you very much. I don't want anything else. I just have to guard our shop and land. Don't be angry, don't be angry. What a father means is that it's all my fault for me, the father. In the past, I didn't teach you, and for the last little wealth of our Fang family, I should set an example for my father."

He looked at Ouyang Zhi and the other two with appreciation, and said with relief: "These three disciples are those who have read books. Those who have read books have different ideas. What is education? Education is teaching by words and deeds, right? Ouyang disciples..."

Ouyang Zhibun nodded ashamed: "Yes, yes, yes, what Master said is right."

Fang Jinglong spread his legs and sat down loudly, and said excitedly: "Today, I will teach you by words and deeds and teach you how to live a frugal life."

Fang Jifan was stunned when he heard this, and it turned out that he even brought foreign players.

But... Fang Jifan looked at Ouyang Zhi's three apprentices, your sister, you are my apprentices, but he went to teach his mentor's father to deal with his mentor?

When Ouyang Zhi saw the aggressive eyes of Enfu, he was immediately frightened and dared not let out. He hurriedly bowed his head: "The disciple deserves to die."

Fang Jifan smiled in his heart. These three people dared not show off in front of him. Is he so scary? Alas, like you, I am all ambitious young people. However, he still had to look hippie, with his feet raised, his nostrils facing the sky, and he snorted coldly, looking at the beam of the room.

Fang Jinglong laughed. He was afraid that he would "teach by example" and make his son uncomfortable, so he tried his best to use a more tactful tone to avoid any stimulation to his son.

My son is still suffering from brain disease, so don’t be too irritated.

"This is what you teach by words, cough cough... In fact, to put it bluntly, you must be thrifty and manage the family. How can you manage the family thrifty? It means that the money you shouldn't spend indiscriminately. Of course, Fan'er, the father did not say the money you spent indiscriminately. The meaning of being a father is just like the weather now, it's cold. If you want to burn charcoal, wouldn't you freeze to death if you don't burn charcoal? Isn't it?"

Fang Jifan looked at his father in a daze. He really couldn't understand what tricks this most failed parenting expert in history wanted to play.

Fang Jinglong said this and lamented in his heart, "It's so poor, really poor." Since he checked the account of the account, he realized that the million-dye silver had been spent like flowing water. Not only that, it was also embarrassing. Now no one on the street knows that his son has become a boy with money."

This can't continue like this. This family is probably not enough for the family to be defeated for a few years, so... we must learn from the pain and let the family leader know that the firewood and rice are expensive.

"But look, the carbon price at this time is really a thousand miles a day, and a pound has risen to more than 40 cents. It's really fatal." Fang Jinglong looked heartbroken, but then smiled again: "Since you want to manage your family, you have to save money. You see, you can't let your family freeze, but you can't spend money randomly. Fan'er, look at this..."

He pointed his hand at the brazier on the ground.

Only then did Fang Jifan notice that the brazier under his feet was steaming at this moment, as if... it was not burning carbon, but coal balls.

"What do you know?" Fang Jinglong kept it a secret.

Fang Jifan blurted out: "Anthracite..."

"Huh?" Fang Jinglong was stunned: "Haha, my son is very knowledgeable, haha, let me tell you the truth. This anthracite has only become popular in the past two days. Someone gave me a few kilograms to the British Duke. The British Duke tried it. The effect is very good. Compared with charcoal, it is more interesting. Do you think it is very warm now? This anthracite is really a good thing. Of course, this is not the point. The key is that it is low-priced. It took a lot of effort to buy it for someone. It is said that it is just a trial sale and only hundreds of kilograms. I bought it for my father to tell you a truth. The silver that should be spent should be spent, and you can't let yourself be frozen and hungry, but there is no need to spend the money you shouldn't spend. Think about it, is it a feeling that when burning this anthracite now, it feels like seeing those who burn charcoal, the number one fool in the world?"

"..." Fang Jifan blushed and wanted to speak but stopped.

Fang Jinglong seemed to feel that his words and deeds had worked, and immediately became energetic and said with a gaze: "If you buy something, you have to buy something that is cheap and cheap. In fact, it is just like you spend so much money to buy the wasteland in Xishan. Buying the wasteland in Xishan is like a person who buys charcoal. If you buy it, people will make fun of it... Can you... understand the meaning of being a father?"

Fang Jinglong blinked desperately, hoping that his son would be enlightened.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't understand very much."

"This is still unknown..." Fang Jinglong slapped his thigh, a little anxious, and wanted to continue to explain.

Fang Jifan was already very upset, but he said carelessly: "But this anthracite is produced in the West Mountain."

Fang Jinglong laughed: "Xishan produces coal, um... what you said... um? Anthracite produced in Xishan..."

Fang Jinglong's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.

Fang Jifan slapped the table and a bang, which made Fang Jinglong and Ouyang Zhi frightened. Fang Jifan said, "This anthracite is indeed produced in the West Mountain. Dad... You are a prodigal family. This coal is worthless in the hands of your son. You still ask someone to spend money to buy it? You can pick up the things born in your own fields, just be worthless! You also spent money? Why do I have such a father, dozens of cents, and you have been ruined by you now? I finally understand why others call me a prodigal son. Drink water and remember the source, and follow the roots to the end. This is all your upper beam is not straight, but the lower beam is crooked, and you have led me to ruin!"

"..." Fang Jinglong's old face turned red at first, and he felt that this righteous rebuke made a lot of sense. This teaching by example... seemed to have failed.

But then, Fang Jinglong's body shook.

wrong.

Is coal produced in Xishan?

Then... Xishan belongs to the Fang family again.

Is this... possible?

"Fan'er, don't you scare me?" Fang Jinglong said stutteringly: "We're not kidding."

Fang Jifan shouted: "What a joke? If it weren't for this, how could I know any anthracite!"

Suddenly, Fang Jinglong's body felt like he was shaking with conditioned reflex.

He touched his forehead first and felt a little dizzy.

Very drowsy.

But then, his eyes were as big as a copper bell, and his voice shook the rubble and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha... our ancestors are virtuous, we are full of virtue, and we are good at teaching our children!"
