For the people in the border town, the fear from the Tatars is really a deep memory.

Fang Jifan proposed to use balloons to fight. Of course, the significance of fighting is not very great. It is more like harassment by Tatar rangers.

But the point is that this balloon can be used for observation and early warning.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked by the balloon, and his heart was moved: "Zhenhui ordered the Ministry of War to take a good look and draw up a regulation."

Fang Jifan said: "In addition, this balloon has many uses, such as...sightseeing..."

"Sightseeing..." Hong Zhi was taken aback.

Fang Jifan said: "The world is so big, who doesn't want to have a glimpse of the whole picture, that's why people climb the peak and look far away. But it's too troublesome. After getting on the balloon, people will go to the high place after a stick of incense. How beautiful the river is, it would be nice to see it and learn more.”

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, and said with emotion: "You are right. If I am not the Son of Heaven, I will inevitably cause countless people to worry. I also want to go up and have a look."

Fang Jifan said: "The so-called making the best use of everything, I am still thinking about what use this balloon should be."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly thought of something: "I still don't understand why this balloon can fly?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, have you seen the flow of water?

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "When the water flows, it will generate strength, so the boat can go down the water when it is on it. And this balloon borrows air, which is hot air. The burning of gunpowder produces a lot of hot air. We can't see or touch them, and we don't think they are useful, just like when we are making tea, the lid of the pot will be blown away by the heat of boiling tea, as long as I know that, it can produce a force , then it’s simple, as long as I think about how to collect them, I can use them naturally. In my opinion, this balloon is no different from a boat, as long as it can be used by me.”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing hesitantly: "Xiao Banban, boiling water, can you lift the lid off?"

"..." Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Xiao Jing said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Everything in the world can be taken for use. Today... I have been taught."

"Oh, one more thing..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Qing's family, I have decreed that from today onwards, Fang Xiaofan, the younger sister of the Qing family, will be brought into the palace to be raised. Your stepmother has gone to Guizhou , this child is too young, you are a man, you take her with you all day long, and you are a bit idle, you can rest assured that Kunning Palace will take good care of her, if you want to see someone, you can just enter the palace yourself. "

Fang Jifan: "..."

Should I show a sad expression?

But after thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a good choice. If someone raises a child for his father, what's wrong with that? Furthermore, the person who raised her was still the royal family. Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "Xiaofan sleeps at night, needs company, and needs to breastfeed at any time; besides, she has a bad temper, so don't let anyone pinch her. Face, she doesn't like people pinching her cheeks. And when she urinates, she needs to sing, she loves to listen to songs, minister... come and sing, your majesty, can you memorize it?"

"..." Emperor Hongzhi felt that this guy was too wordy.

After thinking about it, this is a great hero: "Say it."

Fang Jifan cleared his throat, a little embarrassed: "Two tigers run fast, fast, one has no eyes, the other has no ears, how strange, how strange..."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan wanted to die in shame and indignation.

But Fang Jifan really... loves to listen to this song. If she really enters the palace and enters an unfamiliar environment, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. If there is no familiar voice, she will be terrified in her heart.

The Empress Dowager was sitting at the side, at first she was still listening to Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan's lord and minister, and she was talking about the Tatars, so she couldn't intervene, but as she was talking, she actually started singing. The Empress Dowager looked at Fang Jifan, Zhou La laughed and said, "This song is nice, and I like to listen to it too. I'll sing it again."

At this time, the balloon had already started to fall slowly, floating down slowly in the air, Yang Biao started to lower the iron anchor, the iron anchor clanged and smashed a few bricks, and then, the anti-hook of the iron anchor directly Embedded in the drilled soil, Yang Biao began to extinguish the fire in the valve, and the rattan basket slowly descended and finally landed.

When Liu Jin came out of the basket, she felt that her legs were stepping on the cotton, her eyes were dull, and she was chewing on the jerky repeatedly.

Zhu Houzhao rushed up excitedly: "Liu Banban, is it fun in the sky? Is it fun? Haha..."

Liu Jin finally came to his senses, and cried again: "Your Highness, slave... I'm so scared."

But a eunuch stepped forward and said to Yang Biao, "Your Majesty summoned me."

When Yang Biao was in the sky, he was really proud and dry. When he heard His Majesty summon him, he, a rough man who had never seen anything in the world, suddenly became nervous. The suddenly obedient kitten, in front of Emperor Hongzhi, was too frightened to show his breath.

Zhou La said: "This time, not only should I thank Uncle Xinjian for saving my life, but also Shen Ao and Yang Biao."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Shen Ao, and then at Yang Biao: "Shen Qing's family will not be rewarded for the time being. From now on, they will be a family."

He gave Shen Ao a meaningful look, and then looked at Yang Biao solemnly: "Yang Qing's family has worked so hard, I am very relieved, since the contribution is indispensable, I will grant a hereditary thousand households, and seek a hundred households in the garrison." I give it to you.

"

Fang Jifan felt sorry, what a pity.

In fact, such a great achievement is possible even if it is awarded a title.

However, Yang Biao's luck is not very good. Even if he has made great contributions, it is not easy to be enshrined in Daming. Yang Biao has made great contributions, but he is neither a relative of the emperor, nor a military exploit, and he did not kill a single enemy. , If I knew it earlier, let me brag for him, saying that he killed seven people and seven people among the Tatars, and beheaded hundreds of people, um... almost, this number should be enough to be knighted. Anyway, no one can verify this kind of nonsense.

But Yang Biao got excited, hereditary thousands of households... This is the iron rice bowl, in fact, Daming's hereditary thousands of households have actually overflowed, if there is no real military position, nine out of ten, it is just a few more rations , but Yang Biao was still excited with tears in his eyes: "My mother said that a hero is not a soldier. The emperor gave me a thousand households. I am grateful. I will serve the emperor from now on. I will go through life and death without frowning."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Control your flying ball well, it will be of great use in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Fang Jifan and said: "Fang Jifan has also made great contributions. For such great contributions, he should have been awarded a title. I am not a stingy person...it's just a pity...according to the system of the ancestors, those who have not beheaded thieves or barbarians are not allowed to Lun Jue, I have wronged you, I will give you two hundred thousand gold."

"..." Fang Jifan was a little confused, two hundred thousand gold...two hundred thousand gold...Actually, it is two hundred thousand copper coins, calculated as one thousand and one tael of silver, roughly, it is two or three hundred taels of silver , and generally the money bestowed by the inner court of the Ming Dynasty has to be converted, what is it converted into? You have to rely on your usual prestige, otherwise, absolutely no one will change it.

Fang Jifan took a deep breath: "Forget it, I serve His Majesty completely from the bottom of my heart. Is this the kind of person who waits to die for His Majesty's reward? Your Majesty underestimates my minister. I don't value fame and fortune like that. His Majesty's generous gift, I absolutely dare not accept it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked deeply at Fang Jifan, with a smile on his face: "You must be thinking in your heart, why are you so stingy?"

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is already very generous." Fang Jifan blinked, trying to be more sincere, lest Emperor Hongzhi would not believe him: "Really."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Hey, in such a big world, you can't favor only one person. You have made great contributions. Fang's family is full of Zhongliang. I naturally know that this time, it is indeed not a military achievement... I have nothing to do. There are no rules. It’s not square.”

Shen Wen, who was always on the sidelines, did not show any signs of expression, but could understand His Majesty's thoughts very well.

Sooner or later, Fang Jifan will soar into the sky.

But His Majesty is unwilling to show him too much grace, this is because, since Fang Jifan became Shao Zhanshi, His Majesty has already made plans to let Fang Jifan assist His Highness the Crown Prince in the future, if he is granted the title of Marquis today, he will Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds the Great Ruler, what should be rewarded for him?

The most embarrassing thing about being a king is that there is no reward.

Of course, Shen Wen didn't say a word, he pretended to be dead, making a fortune in silence.

My own daughter is about to enter the East Palace, His Royal Highness... is actually very good, of course, she is a bit naughty, but so what, in the future... the Shen family will also have a queen.

Just relying on this... Shen Ao's life-and-death trip was worth it.

He couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan gratefully, now that he thought about it afterwards, without Fang Jifan, he really wouldn't have everything in the Shen family. Shen Ao, this kid, is really lucky.

Emperor Hongzhi did not forget to encourage Fang Jifan: "Don't worry, the Qing family, as long as the Qing family has military merits, I will definitely reward you!"

This time, he promised very happily.

After all... is this just a promise?

Where is Fang Jifan, looking for military merits?

Do you want to go back to Shanhaiguan again and kill a few Tatars?

This is simply an insult to your IQ.

Fang Jifan has a very good mentality, if he doesn’t give it, he won’t give it. Go back and encourage the prince to engrave a seal. Of course, you can’t obviously encourage the prince.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhou La eagerly, as if he was saying, Zhou, do you have anything to say?

Zhou La looked at Fang Jifan's resentful eyes, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, but peed in fright, lowered his head, and pretended he didn't see anything.

The ungrateful thing!

Fang Jifan's teeth itch with hatred.
