Chapter 552 Sugarcane sprouts and copper mines are discovered
Xu Jingchang was sleeping with his fifth concubine, until someone knocked outside the door and reported that the sugarcane had emerged. Then he got up from the concubine's arms and went there.
By the time he arrived, Fang Xing had already finished reading the seedling cultivation base and was patting the soil on his hand to prepare to go back.
"Dow, wait."
Xu Jingchang jumped off the horse, looked at the sugar cane seedlings and said, "Dehua, don't coax me, isn't this grass?"
The base is very large, and the Jiaozhi prisoners are taking care of the seedlings in the fields.
Fang Xing shook his head and sighed, "Duke Ding, you are not divided into grains!"
It is difficult to distinguish the seedlings of sugarcane, but someone reminded me, so I didn’t show my ugly appearance.
Xu Jingchang hugged Fang Xing's shoulder intimately and said, "Dehua, when will he grow up?"
“More than a year.”
Fang Xing pretended not to see Xu Jingchang's disappointment, "These seedlings still have to be moved to the fields. It will be almost fourteen months before they can be done, and maybe it will be earlier."
"Hey! It seems I can't wait."
Xu Jingchang said depressedly: "If you don't go back, you'll be very confused at home. Dehua, when will you go back?"
Fang Xing said as he walked: "I have to wait for Your Majesty's will, and I may not be able to go back this year."
Xu Jingchang yawned and said, "You will definitely be able to go back this year."
“Why?”
Fang Xing pulled his big white horse and asked.
Xu Jingchang saw that there was no one around and whispered: "Ma Qi was already suffocated to death on the road. Wu Xun in the court felt that Jiaozhi's biggest disaster was gone, so he wanted to come here to take a look!"
Fang Xing squinted his eyes, touched the big white horse's head with his hands, thinking about the twists and turns in it.
As a shame that Zhu Di knew unknown to others, Ma Qi was destined to not live in Jinling, and Fang Xing and Huang Fu had a premonition of this.
But there were people in Jinling who wanted to come and get a bargain, which was beyond Fang Xing's expectations.
"Have you agreed?"
Zhu Zhanji's letter had not arrived yet, so Fang Xing knew nothing about it.
The two of them got on the horse and moved forward slowly. Xu Jingchang said disdainfully: "Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly, how could he agree! He even scolded him, but he heard that someone had his salary cut."
"I deserve it!"
At this time, the seedling cultivation base had already been released. Fang Xing couldn't help but curse: "It's all a group of girls. They dare not come when they are in chaos. When they are settled, they want to seize the benefits. Your Majesty really should throw these people to Xinghe and let them fight against the Tatars."
Xu Jingchang agreed: "Those people look simple in Jiaozhi, but judging from the time I stayed, Jiaozhi is not simple at all."
"First of all, it's Ma Qi. If His Highness and you were not brave enough to catch him, this Jiaozhi would still be a quagmire."
"The second is rebellion. Others' actions cannot be as fast as yours, and it is even more impossible to destroy Ruan Shuai and Chen Jianan with that little bit of people."
"The third is the wealthy family. If you dare to touch the wealthy family directly, I dare to do it, but I just didn't expect it."
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Li Liang heard that he was very proud recently. Who is he?"
Fang Xing said lazily: "The wealthy clan in Jiaozhi is the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. It's not that you didn't expect that, but you habitually classified those wealthy clans as their own kind, and the same kind are not tragic to each other!"
In an era when the regime did not go to the countryside, the wealthy family was the foundation of a country.
They are vested interests, so they will protect the country that benefits them.
But human nature is greedy. When it expands to the point where it cannot be satisfied, they will make holes in the body of this country and suck people's fat and cream...
Finally, these people were these people. After licking the blood on their lips, burping, they turned and turned into gentlemen, full of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and patriotism.
——A man is naturally good at the beginning!
"Fang Xing, why don't you spread your new learning here?"
After the prince's wake up, the newly opened academy of Xu's family tragically persuaded most of the students to withdraw. Now there are only a few kittens, and he is not interested in interfering.
Fang Xing didn't have many people in Zhixing Academy, but he was always attracted by people, which made him a little envious.
“Not yet.”
Fang Xing explained: "Whether it is mathematics or physics and chemistry, Fang Xue emphasizes practicality, but Jiaozhi has no attachment to people's hearts. If you want to learn Fang Xue, you have to wait at least fifty years later."
Xu Jingchang said suspiciously: "Is your Fangxue that great?"
Xu Jingchang still knew the truth that it was not my race, but Fang Xing was so cautious about teaching Fang Xue that he was a little dissatisfied.
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "It's just a matter of opinion. Let's wait a few years, and after the first batch of students come out, we will verify whether Fang Xing brags."
Not to mention Jiaozhi, North Koreans can’t even think about learning Fangxue!
When I wake up later, I will also recommend that those so-called "international students" be cancelled. Unless they are completely incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, they will not think about learning the knowledge of the Chinese people.
When he returned to the military camp, Fang Xing saw Fang Ba who had been sent out by him long ago.
Fang Ba looked a little thin, but looked happy.
"Master, I found it!"
Fang Xing nodded and then took Fang Ba into his room.
"Have the copper mine been found?"
Fang Ba said happily: "I found it, not only copper ore, but also coal."
Fang Xing brought several old miners in this southern expedition. Once he arrived in Jiaozhi, he went to naturalized Zhili Prefecture to search for mines under Fang Ba's guard.
He located the naturalized Zhili Prefecture based on the information in the warehouse and determined the final location with a ruler. But even so, Fang Ba still recruited thousands of people to search for it. It took several months before he found the copper mine.
The coal mine was accidentally discovered during this process.
Jiaozhi has iron ore and is not short of coal. As long as Zhu Fang can explore and stabilize steelmaking technology, Jiaozhi's future development will not be a problem.
Fang Xing put away the booklet recording the detailed address and mineral distribution, and then remained silent for a long time.
"Come, I will serve you."
As a result, Xiaodao came in. This guy grinded the ink too hard, and the ink he grinded was terrible.
"roll!"
Fang Xing knew that this kid was afraid that he would have something to do, but now he just wants to write this memorial.
Xiaodao stood by the side with a smile. Seeing Fang Xing, he was solemn and relaxed. He wrote a memorial for half an hour and the ink was polished several times.
Fang Xing picked up the scraps and lit them himself.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Fang Xing carefully checked the memorial several times and then asked.
Xiaodao said slowly: "Master, I want to go to the south."
"Can't sit still?"
Fang Xing got up and walked out, and Xiaodao hurriedly followed.
"Master, I just think Lord Wu is afraid he needs help."
The recent seizures of Wu Yue have been significantly less. In the war report, it was mentioned that the wealthy families in the south seemed to have disappeared recently. He and Wang Du were stopping in Xinping Mansion, waiting for news from the scout and the Li Liang.
Fang woke up to Huang Fu and gave him the memorial to him for a review.
“There is a copper mine?”
Huang Fu looked at the memorial and said in surprise: "Dehua, is this matter accurate?"
Fang Xing pulled his palm around his neck and smiled and said, "Head guarantee."
"This is a great thing!"
The Ming Dynasty needed copper, but not enough.
Fang Xing’s weapon building plan is also inseparable from copper.
