Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 411 The overall situation has been decided

  When Fang Jifan said the word Dongxi, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Qian.

  Actually, if he relied on his current strength alone, he really didn't have much courage to fight against a guy who lived on lip service in this hall.

  Is there a specialization in the art industry? After all, I am a hardworking person.

   But with Xie Qian's operation behind it, things will be easier to handle.

  Fang Jifan is full of confidence now.

   Xie Gong is a fastidious person, and his work is delicate.

  Although I don't know why he helped himself so much, is it important?

Do not!

   Not an iota of it matters!

  The important thing is that our Fang Jifan is going to fight back, and it is a powerful counterattack!

   "Your Majesty, please allow me to ask someone to bring those things into the palace."

  The show is about to start.

  Fang Jifan was very excited just thinking about it.

  The most important thing is that Xie Qian gave himself a lot of confidence.

  Just looking at him standing there calmly, with an approachable smile on his face, Fang Jifan knew that the overall situation was settled.

  So he stared at Liu An with piercing eyes, as if he was convinced of him.

  To tell the truth, Xie Qian was supposed to lead this performance, but who would have expected that it would be his own end.

  These guys are really pinching soft persimmons. Seeing that they are young and have brain problems, they want to step on themselves.

  If we don’t see popularity today, how can we, Fang Jifan, make trouble in the capital in the future?

  Looking at Fang Jifan's expression, Liu An had a bad feeling!

   But obviously, he refused to admit defeat, and said calmly, "What the **** is it?"

  Fang Jifan ignored him and only looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

   At this time, I have already controlled the scene.

   This thing is like playing football, whoever can control the whole field is the king.

  Momentum is very important, so you can ignore this matter directly.

  Of course, the only question next is, who is the national football team between me and Liu An.

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent all the time. At first, he felt that Fang Jifan seemed to have a sign of a brain attack. Slowly, he finally began to realize what Fang Jifan was talking about... He was also very curious to see Look.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Come in."

   An order was issued, and the hall fell into an anxious wait, and everyone couldn't help but feel curious in their hearts.

   What the **** is it?

  What kind of medicine did Fang Jifan sell in his gourd?

   Soon, when a **** personally carried a box in, the box fell into Fang Jifan's hands. Fang Jifan looked around and opened the box simply!

  Many people stretched their necks, but found nothing unusual, Fang Jifan took out a... yellow book.

  It was actually a yellow book!

This yellow book is a household registration edition made by the state in the Ming Dynasty for the purpose of verifying household registration and collecting taxes and servitude. For the civilian, military, craftsmen three categories.

   All in all, the yellow book is divided into two, and Fang Jifan's yellow book is obviously a record of household names in the government.

  Fang Jifan opened the yellow book, and said: "This is the yellow book of Lingqiu County. In the yellow book, there are 23,500 registered military and civilian households and more than 79,000 households."

   "..."

   Liu An was silent.

Fang Jifan said again: "After the disaster, I worked together with the health officials to count all the victims. The death caused by the landslide was more than 2,000 people, and the rest died of floods and rocks, only nine. There were more than a hundred people, and no one in the county died of starvation. There were three hundred and twenty-two people who were ill in the county. Eleven of the three hundred and twenty-two people died of illness. Now, most of them have recovered."

   "..."

   There was an uproar in the hall again.

   People are like that.

  If it is just air-to-air, it is difficult to make a deep impression on people by saying that the disaster relief has been relieved.

   Fang Jifan, on the other hand, took real data.

  These figures cannot be faked, because after the catastrophe, the imperial court will definitely make a new book for all the soldiers and civilians. Whether it is nonsense, you can tell at a glance.

   Liu An's face changed, and he finally couldn't calm down.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was moved, and countless thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.

Fang Jifan continued: "After entering Lingqiu County, in order to prevent floods, the Xishan students led the victims to block six breaches and embankments. They built 4,200 thatched or wooden houses, cleared 9,000 acres of open land, and committed Hu Kaishan's crimes. , with a great reputation, after hearing that the crown prince and Xishan Academy entered the county to rescue the disaster, they raised their hands and surrendered, gathering more than 2,000 thieves that Liu Shizhong said about."

   One number after another was said softly, but every word was shocking.

At this time, Fang Jifan bared his teeth unceremoniously, and said loudly to Liu An: "In this case, it may be just a number, but in Lingqiu County, these numbers are living people. They are the same as Liu Shizhong. Parents, as well as wives and children, can cry and smile, they also know what pain is, they also know how to be afraid of death, and they know how to steal life."

   "..."

   All of a sudden, the hall fell silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi was also touched. This sentence was not so much a lesson to Liu An, but a reprimand for him.

Obviously, Fang Jifan didn't intend to stop, he continued plausibly: "Well, these people will become a number that doesn't matter, these people can be irrelevant, and these people can die? Then Liu Shizhong is noble Can’t you die? Are the students of Xishan Academy superior to others, are they worthy of living? As long as those who die are not the so-called students and heroes in Liu Shizhong’s eyes, everyone else deserves what they deserve?”

  The moral high ground, standing on it, Fang Jifan does not feel cold at all, but also feels very warm.

   Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan would have today.

  Fang Jifan's heart... was moved, moved to a mess.

  It feels so good to let go of myself!

"I...I don't have this consciousness. You slandered my innocence." Liu An's words were a little lacking in confidence. It's the same as being directly crushed, this kind of taste is very uncomfortable.

  Anyone who can talk nonsense is not capable of pointing a deer into a horse in front of everyone.

  Fang Jifan looked at him mockingly and said, "Why, have you forgotten what you said so quickly? You said it yourself, so many people heard it, and you still want to deny it?"

   "Hmph." Liu An snorted coldly, but actually wanted to use this cold snort to cover up his guilty conscience, and he said immediately: "Why do you say that this is the credit of your Xishan Academy?"

   His voice fell.

   Xie Qian, who had a pleasant smile, couldn't help but stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows.

  The dimensions are getting messed up.

   Xie Qian is eloquent.

   To be honest, he is not bragging when it comes to oral skills. Everyone here is hot chicken.

  So at this moment, he felt very uncomfortable, like claws scratching his heart. Facing an opponent like Liu An, it was like crushing an ant to death.

  It's a pity, I don't have a chance to express myself.

   At this time, Fang Jifan also laughed, don't worry, there is more. He leaned over and took out another notebook.

   "..." Liu An shuddered, he felt that his mouth was too cheap.

  The hall was still silent.

Fang Jifan took out the notebook and said: "In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, there was also a county in Sichuan's chief envoy, and a landslide occurred. This time, the landslide was less severe than the Lingqiu landslide. But in this residence report, It was copied out in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and it was clear and unmistakable, what was written, the people in this county, three out of ten, three out of ten, Liu Shizhong, like you who are ignorant and incompetent, reading "The Bastard" all day long People who read "Merry Man" must not understand it well. Well, let me explain. This means that if the casualties in Lingqiu County are the same as that in this county, the number of people who can survive will not exceed 30,000. , the remaining 60,000 people all died without a place to bury them."

  Shock!

  After the specific number was reported, no one questioned the number.

  More than 50,000 lives were lost.

  If Xishan Academy hadn’t entered the disaster area in an emergency, what would have been the consequences?

  Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes. He looked at Fang Jifan, and the resentment in his stomach had disappeared without a trace.

  So many people died, natural disasters and man-made disasters, the consequences are unimaginable.

  At least I, the emperor, will definitely not be born.

   Enough to make myself have nightmares again and again.

  He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help thinking at this moment, it would be extremely difficult to save these people.

  The whole academy, including the crown prince and Fang Jifan, how much hard work and blood and tears have they put in?

   How can others know these things? Even myself can't imagine it.

  Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao bowing his head and trembling, Emperor Hongzhi's heart instantly melted.

  At this time, Fang Jifan's voice echoed in the hall: "His Royal Highness and Xishan Academy entered Lingqiu County, and rescued more than 50,000 people. 50,000 people may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of Liu Shizhong..."

   "Nonsense!" Liu An was furious: "I never said such a thing."

   "I'm making an analogy." Fang Jifan said without changing his expression.

   "..."

   Liu An's heart was a little tired, and he felt like his kidneys were overdrawn.

Fang Jifan continued: "But in order to rescue 50,000 people, the life of Xishan died as soon as they died. Is it a big deal? Didn't Fang Jifan enter Lingqiu County as usual? Didn't His Royal Highness enter Lingqiu County as usual? Where is it? You keep accusing me of contempt for life, but you don’t know that the ancient sages all took life as their own responsibility, even if they died, they never flinched. But the people of Xishan Academy regard death as home, in your eyes, But it has become a joke, as if what they did is worthless, dare to ask what you mean, do you still have a conscience? Do you still have the nerve to call yourself a disciple of a saint?"

   "..." Liu An wanted to vomit blood, but suddenly lost confidence, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant."

   "That's what you mean!" Fang Jifan pressed on every step of the way.

   "I mean...I...I..."
