Chapter 955 Fang Jun, you are dead!
His Majesty Li Er said nothing more.
He trusted Fang Jun, and he also knew that Fang Jun doted on Si Zi. He never thought that Fang Jun would dare to lie to him about Si Zi.
And Sun Simiao's reputation is known all over the world, and he has a method of killing human flesh and white bones.
Since it was Sun Simiao who said it, it is naturally a hundred times better than the quack doctors in the palace who were helpless when Empress Changsun became ill.
"That's all! Maybe this is God's will? Do you want to eat sea fish often?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned: "Chang'an is more than a thousand miles away from the sea? Although water transportation is convenient, it is a long distance after all. Shipping fish to Chang'an is inevitably not new. This is a problem..."
Fang Jun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. After returning, Wei Chen asked the navy to specially allocate ten new speed boats. After catching the sea fish, put them into the cabin tank as soon as possible. Use ice to lower the temperature of the tank to ensure that the sea fish can be as safe as possible." Live longer so that when the clipper arrives in Chang'an, the sea fish should still be fresh.”
His Majesty Li Er nodded, but this method was a bit extravagant.
In the past, ice cubes had to be stored in winter, and the quantity was limited. How much ice cubes would be consumed to transport marine fish from Huating Town, Jiangnan to Chang'an for many years? Even the emperor can't afford it!
But thinking about Fang Jun's method of making ice, I felt relieved.
However, His Majesty Li Er immediately asked: "It's okay to transport like this in summer, but in winter the Yellow River and Weihe River will be frozen. Doesn't it waste time?"
Fang Jun was also stunned for a moment, but ignored the question.
After thinking about it, Fang Jun said: "Then let's build a road. The official road can now go directly to Tongguan. It won't take much trouble to build a short road from Tongguan along the Wei River to Chang'an."
His Majesty Li Er almost laughed angrily: "Such a long road of at least more than a hundred miles, with many rivers, beaches and mountains along the way. It will take three to five years to complete. Not to mention how many migrant workers are used, the cost will be hundreds of thousands of dollars. You actually said It won’t take much trouble?”
Fang Jun said disdainfully: "You are pointing at the officials from the Ministry of Industry. Can't we repair it until the year of the monkey and the horse month? In the spring of next year, the humble ministers will fund the repairs without the court paying a penny."
Just kidding, is it still difficult to build roads after gunpowder is available?
The officials in the imperial court who had nothing to do with their corpses were not clear-headed at all. Gunpowder can blow up city walls, but can't it break down mountains and rubble?
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment.
To be honest, he was a little jealous.
Mom, as an emperor, I am not so luxurious as to eat fish and seafood every day! Is Fang Jun, this little bastard, going to pamper Princess Jinyang to heaven? Are you willing to build a road specially so that Princess Jinyang can eat fresh sea fish?
This is not a matter of how much money is spent. To build a road, you need to cross rivers, build bridges, and close mountains to clear roads. The effort expended is the most important!
Could it be that this little bastard has some plans for my Sizi?
Looking at Sizi, her delicate face already has the appearance of a beautiful woman, but the little baby fat on her cheeks shows that she is too young! Moreover, Fang Jun has always had a good reputation in this regard. Except for his wives and concubines at home, he never gets involved with women. Even if he is not visiting a brothel, he mainly fights...
Fang Jun's character in this aspect is guaranteed, and His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it's just more love for a child without a mother?
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er's heart aroused sadness again...
He sighed dejectedly and waved his hand: "Go, go, remember to take good care of Sizi, and come back whenever you want. Let's talk about road construction in the spring next year."
"No! So Wei Chen is resigning now?"
"Go ahead."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to chase people away.
Fang Jun led the two little princesses to leave.
When a princess travels, she must follow a set of rules even if she keeps everything simple. After struggling for a long time, a carriage drove out of the Suzaku Gate, escorted by the imperial guards. Fang Jun followed the carriage on his horse, chatting and laughing with the two little girls from time to time, and returned to Fang's house after a cup of tea.
The mansion had already received a message saying that the two princesses were coming. Naturally, the middle door was wide open, and Fang Xuanling, Lu and their family members were all dressed up to greet them in front of the door.
This is a rule. Even if the two princesses are as old as each other, and even if Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, given the natural gap in class, etiquette cannot be ignored at all.
"My room, Xuanling, is waiting for your two highnesses."
Fang Xuanling bowed his head and saluted.
The car curtain opened, Princess Jinyang took Princess Hengshan's hand, got out of the car with a smile, gave Fang Xuanling a slight blessing, and said obediently: "Uncle Fang, I'm sorry, I and my sister are here unexpectedly. I hope you will." Don't be disgusted, uncle. Before leaving the palace, my father told Sizi to say hello to his uncle."
Fang Jun looked at the serious and dignified Princess Jinyang in surprise. He really didn't realize that the little girl looked so serious.
Princess Gaoyang stepped forward and took the hands of the two sisters and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
She is the elder sister, so there is no need to come to greet her. However, both Fang Xuanling and Lu came out, and her not coming seemed like she considered herself to be of a higher status than Fang Xuanling, which was a bit inappropriate.
Princess Hengshan spoke quickly and shouted: "Brother-in-law wants to take us to see goldfish. Sister Seventeen, where are the goldfish? I want to see it!"
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face was half-smiling, she glanced at Fang Jun, pulled her two sisters and said with a smile: "Okay, follow me, sister."
He took the two little princesses and walked towards the house.
Princess Jinyang also turned back to greet Fang Jun: "Brother-in-law, come quickly!"
"Alas!"
Fang Jun agreed and followed him briskly.
Passing by Wu Meiniang, the girl pulled Fang Jun and asked in a low voice: "Why are your two highnesses here at this time? Will the key to the palace be released in a while?"
Fang Jun said casually: "I don't plan to go back. The two girls heard that there were rare southern things at home and they clamored to come. If it's late, we'll stay here."
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and said with a half-smile: "Stay here...how to live here?"
Fang Jun didn't react: "Of course I live with Gao Yang, do you want to live with me?"
Wu Meiniang bit her lip, rolled her eyes, and showed a "you wish for it" look on her face.
It's a pity that Fang Jun and Dian'er Dian'er followed the three princesses to the flower hall to see the goldfish, and didn't pay attention...
There is a large fish tank in the middle of the flower hall. It is made of glass and is crystal clear. A dozen red and yellow goldfish are swimming happily. The fish tank is large, but the water is very shallow. In this era, without an oxygen pump, the problem of lack of oxygen in the fish tank cannot be solved. The only way is to increase the contact area between the water surface and the air as much as possible, and the water in the fish tank should be shallower, so that the air will The oxygen can be dissolved into the water to the maximum extent.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, sister, look, this one is golden!"
The two little princesses were surprised and amazed around the fish tank. The girls could not resist their love for such bright and beautiful things.
While the two little girls were looking at the goldfish, Princess Gaoyang pulled Fang Jun aside and asked in a low voice: "If you take them out so late, what will you do when you return to the palace later?"
"I won't go back. Your Majesty promised to let them live at home."
"Then we have to arrange for someone to tidy up the guest room. We haven't had guests at home for a long time."
Princess Gao Yang frowned, feeling that it was not appropriate. Although the guest room is clean and spacious, it is actually a bit of a courtesy to allow two golden princesses to sleep in the guest room.
Princess Jinyang was rejoicing around the fish tank. After hearing what Princess Gaoyang said, she said, "I don't want to go to the guest room! Sister Seventeen, Xiaoyao and I will sleep with you tonight!"
Princess Hengshan's little head was eating rice as fast as a chicken: "That's right, I haven't slept with Sister Seventeen for a long time. Sister Seventeen, don't you want us no longer after you have a brother-in-law?"
Princess Gao Yang's pretty face darkened and she said embarrassedly: "How could it be? My sister likes you the most, so just sleep with her at night!"
"Oh! Great!"
Princess Hengshan cheered and looked at the goldfish with Princess Jinyang again. She was dishonest and used a fork to poke the goldfish in the water. She giggled happily when she saw the goldfish running away in panic.
Princess Gao Yang turned back and glared at Fang Jun: "Are you intentional?"
Fang Jun was stunned: "What's the intention?"
Princess Gaoyang looked at the four maids at home. Seeing her burning gaze, the maids all lowered their heads in a hurry.
Princess Gaoyang became more and more angry, thinking she had figured out Fang Jun's trick, and said bitterly: "Why, with a maid as beautiful as a flower, I can't get into your eyes, Lord Marquis?"
Fang Jun was confused: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face was filled with a sinister look and her eyebrows were raised. I've been washing myself up and incense, but you brought back two oil bottles for me? Okay, you black-faced god stole Mei Niang during the day, but at night you were thinking about a few beautiful little maids, so you deliberately avoided me?
With her silver teeth clenching and her tone as cold as a cold wind, Princess Gaoyang stretched out her slender hands, pinched the soft flesh under Fang Jun's ribs hard, and cursed through gritted teeth: "Fang Jun, you are dead. "(End of this chapter)
