Fang Jifan glanced at the map without any hesitation, and then pointed his finger in the direction of the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes region is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world.

And the land is especially fertile. It was the main settlement of the British colonization at the beginning. That area has a unique location. It has both ports and plains, and its natural resources are almost invincible. It is the most suitable area for human settlement.

Don't underestimate this natural environment.

The land is fertile, so that the people who first arrived at the Golden Continent were attracted to settle down. When more people settled down and the natural resources were abundant, people would be dissatisfied with simple agricultural activities and began to gradually move towards industry. Because of the superior geographical location and large population, In order to have more commercial activities.

The first thing people think about is eating.

Otherwise, even if you are given a golden mountain in the desert, in the current productivity environment, it will only attract a small number of adventurers.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "If it is a minister, I will like this place."

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, and felt like a child's play, but said: "Since that's the case, I will give it to you."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty loves me so much, then, I really... organized people to go there."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Go, go, I won't stop you."

Fang Jifan responded.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately raised his eyes: "What Xu Qing said just now made me suddenly enlightened and benefited a lot. Zhou Tianzi ordered the concubines to build Fangguo in the four directions, so there was a division. This Golden Continent is thousands of miles away. I want to guard against Buddha The Langji people devoured the Golden Isle, and it was also for my Ming Dynasty to prepare for a rainy day. I also plan to divide the land of the Golden Isle, and this Jinshan will be given to the Zhang family. Here, the Fang family came to settle in the farmland. But come to me and ask for the land, whoever reclaims this land will count it, and within fifty years, the tax will be exempted."

Fifty years of tax exemption is a bit unkind, you really regard this as the land of Ming Dynasty.

When everyone heard it, they were not interested in it.

Liu Jian and the others were worried.

As for going to farm thousands of miles away... Hehe...

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Zhu Qing was not enthusiastic, but he did not continue to investigate further.

He made up his mind: "Xu Qing's family and others have worked hard and made great achievements. The Ministry of Rites should draw up the reward regulations early and report to me."

Saying that, he waved his hands: "Zhu Qing, please leave."

Fang Jifan and the others got up, Wang Ao took his leave after he left with strides, almost without waiting for Fang Jifan and the others, he hurried away.

Fang Jifan was behind him, and couldn't help but want to call him, but finally shook his head.

Liu Jian and others passed by Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan greeted them warmly.

Liu Jian's complexion was a little grim. He glanced at Fang Jifan, sighed, and headed towards the cabinet.

Zhu Houzhao chased after him with his sleeves rolled up, with a look of sternness on his face, but that Zhang Heling had already run wildly and disappeared in a whoosh.

"Don't let me see, I can't beat him to death. He's not as good as a pig or a dog!" Zhu Houzhao chirped and groaned.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness, who are you scolding?"

Zhu Houzhao chirped and hummed: "Next time I see that old bastard Zhang Heling...\

,""Your Highness, calm down." Fang Jifan comforted him.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Houzhao saw that Xu Jing was following Fang Jifan step by step, Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Xu Jing, hello, it's not easy to see that you are thin again."

Xu Jing saluted Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips: "I also have a student in my palace, who is no worse than you, see you next time."

…………

The capital was in an uproar.

The prince's spirit of being selfless and dedicated to benefiting others immediately aroused a lot of scolding.

Dare to feel that this is the prince himself going up to send money to the palace.

Among the scholars, they have always been vigilant against the emperor's unscrupulous power expansion.

Although these scholars themselves are not good things, they always think that the emperor is not a good thing. So much money goes to the internal coffers. Isn’t it that the emperors will build palaces and play with flowers and birds in the future? . Of course it’s better to enter the treasury...

Amidst the scolding, Wang Ao's protégé, the Ministry of Punishment visited Liu Yan angrily during the incident.

Seeing Wang Ao, Liu Yan saluted Wang Ao as a disciple.

Wang Ao's expression was very ugly, but Liu Yan's expression was even worse.

Wang Ao once presided over the imperial examination, and Liu Yan was appointed as a juren by Wang Ao in that era. In this era, Wang Ao is Liu Yan's great master. After that, Liu Yan was nominated on the gold list and became a Jinshi. Soon, he entered the Imperial Academy as a scholar. In Beijing, his relationship with Wang Ao deepened day by day. Wang Ao also admired this very strong young man.

Therefore, as a former official of the prince's disciple, Liu Yan was heartbroken after hearing the news.

After saluting, he said decisively: "En House, there is something about the scholar, and it has been rumored outside, so I really want to ask about it."

Wang Ao was restless, and managed to force a smile: "Zixin, come on, sit down and talk if you have something to say."

"Students don't dare to sit, so let's stand up and talk." Liu Yanyi said righteously: "The bachelor heard that someone outside said that from the beginning, it was a game. The palace and Enfu have long known that this time, the voyage to the West Bringing back countless wealth, His Majesty has long wanted to keep all this wealth in the palace, so,

Secretly instructing the En House to take the lead in writing a letter, and to advance by retreating. On the surface, it is to let the palace use internal funds to build ships, but in fact... it is to cover the palace. Its original intention is to hope that it can be justified. The wealth is filled into the internal funds. "

"Nonsense!" Wang Ao was half dead with anger.

If it's just that he didn't know about it, then at most it could be said that Wang Ao was a fool who did bad things with good intentions. But now, someone outside actually said that this was calculated, so... this is scary, it means that he, Wang Ao, has colluded with the palace.

The dignified official of the Ministry of Officials, looking up to the emperor and flattering him, wouldn't he become a big traitor.

If so, how will people in the world view themselves.

"The old man walks upright and sits upright. Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble?" Wang Ao became angry. Now, let alone Wen Zhenggong is gone, even if His Majesty resists all opinions, he will posthumously posthumously "Wen Zhenggong" in the future. That is also a bad smell for thousands of years.

People in high positions, especially in the current public opinion environment, people are the most taboo of ministers like the Chenghua Dynasty, who appear like paper-pasted three elders and clay sculptures of six ministers, without integrity. The old monks of the Chenghua Dynasty are still being scolded and scolded.

I, Wang Ao, am I such a person?

After Liu Yan heard this, his face became pale as paper: "Couldn't the Enfu speak the truth? The rumors outside are so powerful that everyone says that Enfu is Liu Ji from the Hongzhi Dynasty..."

Wang Ao immediately covered his heart.

Damn...Liu Ji...

That guy called Liu Mianmian, why do people call him Liu Mianmian, because... Mianmian is not afraid of playing.

The impeachment here refers to impeachment. At that time, Liu Ji was in a high position. Because he flattered Emperor Chenghua, he was impeached by countless people and asked Liu Ji to leave. However, Liu Ji had a thick skin and refused to leave. As a result, he has been ridiculed to this day.

How can I, Wang Ao, be compared to shameless people like Liu Ji?

Wang Ao was going to die of anger with a few words, he sternly said: "Outsiders framed this old man, how could this old man want to be so shameless?"

Liu Yan's eyes were red: "Enfu, the student has served Enfu for many years, and he knows that Enfu is an upright person, but there are too many doubts about this matter. Enfu's temperament has changed drastically, whether he has been coerced. "

"No." Wang Ao said decisively: "At the beginning, didn't you know that the cost of building the ship was too high and the treasury could not be maintained, so the old man went to the memorial, why blame the old man now, these rumors outside are not enough to believe .Zixin, this old man has cultivated you for many years, yet you would rather believe the nonsense of those troublemakers and question this old man?"

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment before he said: "Student is dead, the student really heard outsiders say that he has nose and eyes, that His Majesty secretly envoy Fang Jifan, the captain-in-law, in collusion with the En House, and set up this situation to make the palace's name right It's a huge payoff to pocket. Students..."

"Don't say any more, the old man can't wait to eat Fang Jifan's flesh, how could he conspire with him!" Wang Ao wanted to vomit blood angrily.

Liu Yan thought for a while, En Mansion has always been upright, it seems that there was a misunderstanding, he could only sigh: "But now the rumors are strong outside, En Manor... you must be careful, otherwise... the discussion will be raging, Damaged the reputation of the En Mansion..."

Seeing that Liu Yan finally got rid of his suspicion, Wang Ao couldn't laugh or cry, he never expected that he would be in this situation.

But at this time, the door came in a hurry: "Master, Master, Fang Jifan, the son-in-law captain, and his disciples Ouyang Zhi, Xu Jing, and Liu Wenshan are seeking to see you."

"..."

Wang Ao's face froze.

Wang Ao waved his hand: "The old man doesn't recognize him!"

But Liu Yan became vigilant for a moment, staring straight at the greeting card in the door's hand, he couldn't help getting bolder, and said: "Let me take a look at this greeting card."

Take a look, the face is green.

Uncle Wang Ao Junjian and his nephew Fang Jifan paid homage, Yours respectfully!

Uncle...nephew...

Enfu and Fang Jifan...the relationship is so close.

Liu Yanru was hit by a bolt from the blue, and in an instant, tears flowed down his face. He wept and danced the greeting card: "Enfu and the captain-in-law, are you so close?"

This means that you also said that you did not collude with the palace.

It's commensurate with Fang Jifan's uncle and nephew, and the meal time is almost here. If someone with a normal relationship, would he come to see him at the meal time?

In the past, En Mansion had never had any explanations with Fang Jifan, this... I know a little bit about it.

But now, suddenly dare to be enthusiastic, because of what? Isn't it because... this Fang Jifan is the one who makes the bridge, and the two ends of this thread are En Mansion and His Majesty.

This is a game, and the En Mansion is willing to act as a pawn, flattering and flattering, there is no half point, the minister's strength of character.

"Enfu!" Liu Yan was furious, and bowed to Wang Ao: "Students already know the ambition of Enfu. Enfu intends to follow Liu Ji, but students dare not follow. Students read sage books, be upright and upright, and never cling to them." In the palace, I will take my official position and bid farewell."

He didn't say anything, just turned and left.

Wang Ao's face turned pale with shock, a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out, and he stretched out his hand towards the back of the person who left the message: "Zixin, listen to the old man's explanation!"

But Liu Yan has already walked like flying, and left.
