    The life of Emperor Hongzhi was extremely bumpy. He was born to a palace maid, and the powerful concubine Wan Gui regarded him as a thorn in his side. Since he was born, he has been watched by countless people, walking on thin ice. However, in the process of his growth, countless people have tried to do it for him.  Through fire and water, his mother sacrificed herself for him.  There was also the eunuch who carefully hid him, and the eunuch who was finally executed.  There was an angry roar at Emperor Chenghua, the father of Emperor Hongzhi, and the Empress Dowager Zhou who was also born to a palace maid.  And after marrying his wife, Empress Zhang stayed with him no matter how dangerous the situation was. There were also countless people in the court who sacrificed their lives to fight for the foundation of the country, never compromising with Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan Gui, and would fight to the death.  Emperor Bao Hongzhi succeeded countless ministers.

    ??When the former Emperor Chenghua had the idea of ??changing the crown prince, people like Liu Jian did not hesitate to make suggestions and cried bitterly.  I went to ask the British Duke and others. All the British Dukes and others were livid and silent, but their attitude towards the former Emperor of Chenghua was self-evident. It was Lian Fang Jifan's father, Nanhe Bo Fang Jinglong, who spoke eloquently on the spot.  cry.  Seeing that the civil servants and military ministers were like this, Emperor Chenghua reluctantly gave up these thoughts.

    Emperor Hongzhi's life was a legend. This made him understand the dangers of people's hearts, but it also made him realize that there is a lot of warmth in this world. He knew very well that he was the hope of countless people, and he,  Even if you use everything you have, don¡¯t indulge in luxury, don¡¯t care about beauties, work diligently every day, and work day and night, you will never let people down.

    The most important thing is that he learned to be tolerant. Even when faced with the eagle and dog lackeys who flattered Concubine Wan Gui, Emperor Hongzhi hardly shouted for beatings or killings even though he was dismissed or ordered to kill soldiers.

    Emperor Hongzhi returned to his normal self, just sighed, and began to worry about his silly son: "I'm not angry with the prince, I'm just worried. The prince's words of playing and playing can be taken seriously, and he has no independent opinions, just like this  The calculated annual income balance" He lowered his eyes and glanced at the book: "Actually, don't I know that the last time I taught the prince a lesson, the prince must have been dissatisfied. He is such a child, and he has to show off to others.  I think that in Zhanshi Mansion, the prince must have been trying to calculate the accounts. Seeing him like this, Fang Jifan probably knew that the prince couldn't do the calculation. Instead of wasting his efforts, it would be better to coax him. This stupid son, take it seriously.  Moreover, this guy is becoming more and more courageous and dares to accuse his father of being a coward!"

    ""

    This is His Majesty¡¯s family matter, and Liu Jian and the other three really don¡¯t know how to persuade it.

    Emperor Hongzhi immediately shook his head and smiled again: "But the Liu Qing family is right. The prince has had no brothers since he was a child. He has been lonely since he was a child. When I was his age, sometimes I felt very lonely in my heart.  , it¡¯s not a bad thing that he can trust someone. This is why I ordered Fang Jifan to accompany me as a reading companion. The only thing is that Fang Jifan is really unreliable sometimes, so I have to let him change it!¡±

    It seems that the anger has dissipated.

    Zhu Houzhao seemed to be holding his breath and did not even go to the palace. He also did not go to see Queen Zhang of Kunning Palace and the Queen Mother of Longevity Palace to say hello. He only said that he was not feeling well.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    It¡¯s the New Year, and the streets are full of joy. The food and wine in several restaurants have been ordered, and then they are delivered to the Xishan Coal Mine. This is all Fang Jifan¡¯s handiwork. It¡¯s the New Year, and these miners brought their families to the Fang family.  Mining, how could Fang Jifan be stingy? Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all required. This move made Wang Jinyuan want to cry. Silver, it is all just money. Although Zhenguo Mining is now making gold every day, it is such a waste.  It's not a problem, so Wang Jinyuan decided resolutely that he would not spend the night at home. He would go to the mine and eat for nothing. If he ate more, he would make some money back.

    The miners and their families in the mine have lived such a prosperous year for the first time. Buckets of dishes, dishes that are usually hard to eat or even named by their names, are now being served in buckets.  After moving to the mine, it was freezing cold at this time, so I didn¡¯t worry about the food and wine going rancid. I stored them a day or two in advance, and when the day of keeping the New Year¡¯s Eve came, I would just heat up the pot and enjoy the wine and food. This kind of happiness may be for the inner  For the princes and nobles in the city, it was just an ordinary day, but for them, it added a bit of color to their black and white lives.

    In the city, the scholars yelled at Fang Jifan, but here, the miners and the female relatives were surprisingly unanimous in praising Master Fang. If it hadn't been for Fang Jifan, they would have died of cold and starvation if it hadn't been for Fang Jifan.  The young master took them in, and now most of them are still in rags, huddled under the wall, not knowing what will happen today or tomorrow.

    At the end of the year, it is time to start paying wages. The money used to pay wages is not treasure money, nor is it the so-called firewood and coarse grains.Not buckles, but real silver and copper coins.

    Wang Jinyuan led the accountants, but he was meticulous, shouting each person's name, and distributed the money in full. At this moment, many people shed tears, and the dark faces soaked in coal showed white teeth and smiled.  But the corners of his eyes were moist.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????How can you do it as if you are doing good deeds?  Wang Jinyuan shook his head secretly, feeling that he had fallen.

    Fang Jifan is studying the big fireworks for the New Year.

    Both saltpeter and gunpowder can be purchased at the Wang Gong Factory in the southwest corner of the inner city. There is a special gunpowder bureau there. It is not only the royal arsenal, but also makes some fireworks and firecrackers for sale. However, Fang Jifan is not satisfied with ordinary fireworks.  Well, naturally there needs to be a lot of movement to make it look festive and lively.

    As for Deng Jian, when he saw the young master "making trouble", he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. He was not a smart person. He only knew that the young master was serious if he was not serious. He was actually a dull person.  He only knew that the master had ordered that the young master should not fall ill, so he would always be like a follower, stalking the young master, fearing that if the young master was a little negligent, his old illness would relapse and he would never be cured, and the Fang family would no longer have a young master.

    Xiao Xiangxiang and a few girls stopped at a distance, drying the master's clothes while looking at Fang Jifan who was laying leads in the backyard from a distance. The young master was so focused and serious that he couldn't say anything.  She is good-looking and has a different kind of temperament. Occasionally, the girls around her chuckle and say something, but Xiao Xiangxiang turns a deaf ear to her and starts to worry.

    Fang Jinglong went to visit relatives as usual. He had to visit the elders in advance when they were due to visit him. He also occasionally went on inspection tours in the capital camp. After all, it was the end of the year, but he still had to be wary of Xiaoxiao and thieves. He must not show up with anyone plotting evil intentions.

    New Year¡¯s Eve has arrived.

    The capital suddenly boiled.

    People have forgotten the prodigal son of the Fang family and the gambling games in spring. At this time, there is laughter and laughter everywhere. Even the poorest families have used their little savings that are rare in the year to prepare better food and drinks than usual.  , women and children, no matter how poor they were, still pulled out a few feet of cloth to make new clothes.

    Only in the north and south stalls of the Ministry of Household Affairs, on this New Year's Eve, Li Dongyang seemed a little anxious and angry.

    There are more than seventy officials in the north and south stalls, and they are still busy. In fact, the end-of-year accounting should have been done many days in advance. However, after several calculations, it was discovered that the south stall and the north stall  The number reported by the stall did not match.

    This is embarrassing.

    What is involved is the balance of the national treasury, which is not a trivial matter. Once the calculation is wrong, the court thinks that something that is clearly not there is still there. If there is a problem with the expenditure, it will be a big deal.  thing.

    There is no way, no one knows which link is the problem, so we can only recalculate.

    Because of the huge amount of calculations and to prevent errors and omissions, there were more than twenty clerks in each of the north and south stalls, almost all of whom checked the calculations independently. Only when the numbers on both sides matched could the correct numbers be ensured.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
