"Lao FangI heard that three of your disciples are about to take exams."
After research, Zhu Houzhao inevitably chatted with Fang Jifan.
"Yes, point to them to support me in my old age." Fang Jifan lay on the stone table, looking at the composition on the paper, concentrating on it.
"I can support you in your old age." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "We can study science until we are old."
Fang Jifan raised his head and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, then lowered his head: "This is different."
"Why is it different?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Fang Jifan said seriously: "Three disciples are equivalent to my three sons. It is natural for a son to support his father in his old age."
"But we are brothers." Zhu Houzhao clicked his tongue and said angrily: "I am very loyal."
"I can't say for sure." Fang Jifan shook his head again: "My son is more reliable."
Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth: "I also heard that you made a bet with someone and you will definitely lose. Then Tang Yin is the Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion."
Fang Jifan didn't like him.
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and studied his 'science' again for a long time: "You said that fireworks can lift firecrackers into the sky, right? Can they also lift people into the sky?"
Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao in shock. His Royal Highness was really smart. He had thought through the principle of rockets: "Theoretically, yes."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone: "But if a person ascends to heaven, will he fall to death?"
"Just give him an umbrella. In fact, we can let Liu Jin give it a try." Fang Jifan thought thoughtfully.
Zhu Houzhao became excited: "Okay, I can't wait any longer. Butcan I borrow some money?"
"Borrow money?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao suspiciously, you are fucking kidding me, you are the prince.
Zhu Houzhao said in a dumbfounded way: "My father's monthly salary is pitifully small, but Zhan Shifu's offerings are not lacking. But sometimes, I ask Liu Jin and others to go out and buy some food. Who knows, after winter, the price will skyrocket. Liu Jin said , In the past, a bunch of candied haws on a stick cost only a few cents, but now, it costs more than thirty cents."
Fang Jifan clicked his tongue when he heard this. This is robbery.
Is Liu Jin corrupt?
Zhu Houzhao said: "He said that due to the heavy snowfall for several days, the production of many fruits and vegetables was reduced, so the prices skyrocketed."
Fang Jifan suddenly realized that he had wronged Liu Jin. Liu Jin would not dare to blame Zhu Houzhao on his head.
As the eldest son of the Fang family, Fang Jifan was indeed a bit unworldly. Only then did he remember one thing. The impact of the Little Ice Age was not just as simple as keeping warm in winter, because winter was too long and the Mid-Autumn Festival had not yet arrived. It started to snow. This cold weather lasted for half a year, and the crop production was bound to be reduced. Fortunately, the grain-producing areas of Daming were mainly in the Jiangnan area. After all, it was in the temperate zone, and the situation was slightly better. Food could be sent to the capital through the Grand Canal. Coupled with Emperor Hongzhi's diligent governance, at least the food supply for the army and the people could be guaranteed.
But fruits and vegetables are different. The shelf life of these things is not long, and the current grain production has been severely reduced. In the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to encourage them to send a variety of fruits and vegetables to the capital. This area of ????the capital is covered with heavy snow all year round. How can any fruits and vegetables survive? .
Therefore, even for some cold-resistant fruits and vegetables during the season, the prices have skyrocketed to ridiculous levels.
Later generations may not be able to understand the horror of this Little Ice Age. In other words, even in later generations, with the technical means at that time, production could barely be guaranteed. However, in this era of small farmers, the impact was huge, even in the Ming Dynasty. The Little Ice Age's contribution to the destruction was not small. Because of this extreme weather, many places in the north had no harvests, and a large number of people became refugees. The refugees accumulated too much, and finally gathered into a torrent that wreaked havoc on the world.
Take a deep breath
Fang Jifan sensed a business opportunity: "Your Highness, maybe we are going to make a fortune."
"Ah" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.
Fang Jifan said: "If we can grow fresh fruits at this time, will we make a fortune?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard the word "get rich", his blood surged with excitement.
"To make a fortune, take me with you fruits what kind of fruits can you grow in this season?"
Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, a greenhouse use a greenhouse to create a greenhouse environment, what kind of fruits can't be grown?
At this time of year, everyone in the population has faded away. It¡¯s just an ordinary people¡¯s house. It¡¯s good to have enough to eat. But in this capital, the rich households are like dogs, and the rich and powerful are everywhere. Which house does not need ?Offer a large amount of delicacies from mountains and seas.
What are delicacies from mountains and seas? The key is rarity. For example, melons eaten in summer can be eaten in this season when even vegetables are in short supply. Isn¡¯t this a delicacy?
What is a rich household? A wealthy household eats what others cannot eat and buys what others cannot afford.
Taking a deep breath: "We have to give it a try first. The old rule is that one person owns half of the shares. But first, we have to do some research. We need a piece of land. It is best if this land is in the city. It is too far away to take care of."
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao was a very down-to-earth person. When Fang Jifan said that he could make a fortune, he believed him: "In Zhan Shi's house, there is land, the back garden. Go to the back garden, there are many flowers and plants there, Liu Jin and the others are all called Pulled out.¡±
What a spirit!
Fang Jifan likes to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince. How should I put it? Once he has determined one thing, he can do anything crazy. The back garden of Zhan Shi's Mansion occupies a huge area, but the flowers and plants there are all spent by countless masters. Planted with countless efforts, each flower and tree cost countless people's efforts.
That is a garden, no, it should be called Yuanlin!
Butwhatever, it's not Yuan Lin's family anyway, so why should I worry about it?
The most important thing now is to find a place and give it a try first. Hello, Zhan Shifu. The prince is here to watch every day, and he himself has to be on duty every day. It is convenient. Once successful, the wasteland purchased near the coal mine in Xishan will be put to use. The wasteland was purchased out of fear that coal could be mined in that area to avoid others taking a share of the pie, but now it can be put to use. .
Fang Jifan cheered up: "This is easy to do. Let's start now. Shovel out dozens of acres of land, dig out a kiln, burn bricks, build a greenhouse, and connect the flue. Anyway, anthracite is not valuable. Heat the flue. Some, and then cover the top"
What should we cover again? There is no transparent plastic sheet in this era.
Glass is okay, it is colorless and transparent, and has strong lighting performance, but you can¡¯t build a glass workshop just because of this experimental field.
The purpose of this field is to verify the feasibility of greenhouses in the Ming Dynasty. The glass must be burned. Anyway, the production cost of this thing is low. It can be used for large-scale planting in the future, and maybe it can be sold with the glass.
But now, we can¡¯t spend so much effort.
Fang Jifan squinted and saw the window in the attic of Zhan Shifu not far away. This window was made of colored glaze, not the ordinary paper windows. In fact, colored glaze is just glass, but it is not transparent and colorless. To a certain extent In terms of light transmittance, it's actually pretty good.
That¡¯s it.
"Thatglazed window, dismantle it and cover it on the greenhouse, and then it's breeding. This is easy. Let's try growing watermelons first. Speaking of which, I want to eat melons."
Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits and did as he was told. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I will go and call the craftsman."
Getting rich was an injustice deep in Zhu Houzhao's heart. Although this prodigal did not know how much he had spent on this experimental field, such as the valuable colored glaze, the large-scale construction expenses, and the waste of precious flowers and plants in the back garden.
¡° Experiments always require sacrifices. After large-scale planting, the cost will plummet.
Fang Jifan comforted himself in this way, which made his conscience feel better.
¡¡¡¡
Spring is coming.
Ouyang Zhi and the others are gearing up.
In the past few months, they have written countless articles.
It¡¯s the ninth day of February.
They got up early, but unexpectedly, their teacher got up early and was waiting for them in the front yard.
Ouyang Zhi and the others stepped forward and saluted their mentor solemnly.
Fang Jifan glanced at them happily and said: "Take the exam well." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
