For scholars, without books, they cannot broaden their horizons.

It's different now, Fang Jifan has money, and he can buy all kinds of manuscripts and anthologies printed in the market, and read them casually. What's more, the three of Ouyang Zhi won the Juren, their identities are very different, and they started to meet friends in literature every now and then, and their knowledge has improved a lot.

To deal with these three guys, Fang Jifan used a stocking method, but in order to deal with the next year's test, Fang Jifan gave them a lot of questions. Now there is more time, but Fang Jifan is clear about the questions for the next spring test. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Prince Shaobao Li Dongyang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Cheng Minzheng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and Bachelor of Hanlin, to be the examiners of the examination. .

However, this time there will be an episode in the general examination, which will involve the imperial examination fraud case of the examiner Cheng Minzheng, Jiangnan talented Xu Jing and Tang Yin.

This... is a different kind of trial.

Fang Jifan changed his mind and smiled slightly.

As for the matter of Ouyang Zhi and the others, Fang Jifan has nothing to worry about, because he really doesn't know how to cheat, and he doesn't plan to have any dealings with any future examiners. He just needs to ask some 'questions', and then hide the real questions in the sea of ​​questions , Let the three students go to composition training.

The three of Ouyang Zhi, in order to prepare for the exam, really worked extremely hard. From early morning to midnight, they were desperately brushing up questions and reading frantically, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Unexpectedly, today, they have such leisure.

Fang Jifan looked at Ouyang Zhi and the others with the expression that I am your father, sat down, and dusted off his body; "Oh, how are you, why don't you study today?"

The three looked at each other, and then looked at Master Fang Jinglong.

Fang Jinglong grinned and said, "Father had a whim recently, um, it's like this, my son, my father went to check the account the day before yesterday, hey... and I lost a lot of money. If this continues, how can I get it? The million taels of ebony silver, tossed by you, the cash at home seems to be empty, leaving only a shop in Dongshi and Zhuangzi outside the city, Jifan, as a father, I look forward to you earnestly, Don't expect anything else, just guard our shop and property. Don't be angry, don't be angry. Being a father means that it's all my fault as a father. In the past, I neglected to teach you. A little wealth, so as a father, you have to lead by example."

He looked at the three of Ouyang Zhi with admiration, and said with relief: "These three disciples and grandchildren are educated, and those who have studied have different ideas. What is enlightenment? , right, Ouyang's disciple..."

Ouyang Zhi hurriedly nodded with embarrassment: "Yes, yes, yes, what Master said is correct."

Fang Jinglong spread his legs apart, sat in a big lala, and said excitedly: "Today, as a father, I will teach you by precept and example, and teach you how to live frugally."

Fang Jifan was stunned for a while, and dared to call in foreign aid.

It's just...Fang Jifan looked at Ouyang Zhi's three apprentices, your sister, you are my apprentices, but you went to teach your mentor's father to deal with your mentor?

As soon as Ouyang Zhi saw Enfu's aggressive gaze, he was too frightened to let out a breath, and hurriedly lowered his head: "Student deserves to die."

Fang Jifan smiled in his heart, these three people dare not show their pride in front of him, is he so scary? Hey, in fact, like you, I am a good young man who is motivated. However, he still had a hippie smile on his face, with his feet up, his nostrils turned upside down, and he snorted coldly, his eyes only looking at the beams of the house.

Fang Jinglong just laughed. He was afraid that he would make his son feel uncomfortable by "teaching by words and deeds", so he tried his best to use a tactful tone so as not to irritate his son.

My son is still suffering from brain disease, so don't be too exciting.

"This precepts and deeds, ahem... In fact, to put it bluntly, you need to be diligent and thrifty in managing your family. How can you be diligent and thrifty in managing your family? It means money that shouldn't be spent, and you can't spend it indiscriminately. Of course, Faner, my father didn't say that you spent money indiscriminately. , as a father, the weather is like this, it’s freezing, you need to burn charcoal, if you don’t burn charcoal, wouldn’t you be freezing to death? Isn’t it?”

Fang Jifan looked at his father in bewilderment. He really couldn't understand what kind of tricks this most failed parenting expert in history wanted to play.

When Fang Jinglong said this, he lamented in his heart, poor, really poor, since he checked the accounts of the accountant, he knew that the millions of silver had been spent like running water, not only that, but also shameful, now Everyone on the street doesn't know that his son has become a boy who spread wealth.

It can't go on like this anymore, this family, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Fan'er to lose for a few years, so... we must learn from the pain, and let Fan'er be the head of the family to know that Chai Migui is expensive.

"But look, the price of carbon at this time of year is really rapid, and it has risen to more than 40 yuan a catty. It's really terrible." Fang Jinglong showed a sad look, but then laughed again: "Since you want to run a house, you should Save money, you see, as a father, you can neither let the family freeze, but you can't spend money carelessly. Fan'er, look at this..."

He pointed to the brazier on the ground.

It was only then that Fang Jifan noticed that the brazier under his feet was steaming, as if... what was burning was not carbon, but briquettes.

"This, do you know what it is?" Fang Jinglong made a fool of himself.

Fang Jifan blurted out: "Anthracite..."

"Huh?" Fang Jinglong was stunned: "Haha, my son is well-informed, haha, let me tell you the truth, this anthracite coal has only become popular in the past two days, and it was given away by someone.

A few catties were given to the British public. The British public tried it, and the effect is very good. Compared with charcoal, it is more interesting. Faner, do you feel very warm now? This anthracite is really a good thing. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that it is cheap. My father spent a lot of effort before asking someone to buy it. It is said that it is only a trial sale now, and only a few hundred catties are available. For my father I bought it to tell you a truth, the money that should be spent needs to be spent, and you can’t let yourself be frozen and hungry, but there is really no need to spend the money that shouldn’t be spent. Think about it, burning this money now Anthracite, does it feel like the biggest fool in the world when you see those who burn charcoal? "

"..." Fang Jifan blushed, hesitant to speak.

Fang Jinglong seemed to feel that his precepts and deeds were effective, so he cheered up immediately, and said happily, "When you buy something, you have to buy high-quality and cheap ones. This is the truth. In fact, it is the same as you spent so much money to buy Xishan. Just like wasteland, buying the wasteland of Xishan is like buying charcoal, people will make fun of you if you buy it...do you...can you understand what it means to be a father?"

Fang Jinglong blinked desperately, hoping that his son would be enlightened.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't quite understand."

"It's still unclear..." Fang Jinglong slapped his thigh, a little anxious, and wanted to continue explaining.

Fang Jifan was very annoyed, but he said casually: "But this anthracite is produced in Xishan."

Fang Jinglong laughed loudly: "Coal produced in Xishan, um... you said... um? The anthracite coal produced in Xishan..."

Fang Jinglong's eyes widened in disbelief.

Fang Jifan took the copy, and with a bang, Fang Jinglong and Ouyang Zhi were startled, and Fang Jifan said: "This anthracite is indeed produced in Xishan, father... you prodigal, this coal is in the hands of your son. Here, it’s worthless, and you still ask someone to spend money to buy it? The things that grow in your own land are just picked up, and they are worthless! You still spent money? Why do I have such a father, tens of pennies Money, just like that was ruined by you, now I finally understand why people call me a prodigal son, and when I drink water, I think about the source, and get to the bottom of it, it’s all because you are not upright, you are leading me down!"

"..." Fang Jinglong's old face blushed at first, and he felt that the righteous words and reprimands made him very reasonable. This precept...seemed to have failed.

But immediately, Fang Jinglong was shocked.

wrong.

Is the coal produced in Xishan?

Then... Xishan belongs to the Fang family again.

is it possible?

"Fan'er, don't you want to scare me?" Fang Jinglong muttered, "We're not kidding."

Fang Jifan yelled: "Are you kidding? If it wasn't so, how would I know what anthracite is?"

All of a sudden, Fang Jinglong's body trembled in conditioned reflex.

He stroked his forehead first, feeling a little dizzy.

Very drowsy.

But immediately, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he laughed wildly like a sound shaking rubble: "Hahahaha... the ancestors are virtuous, and I, Fang Jinglong, teach my children well!"

Fang Jifan looked at Fang Jinglong strangely, and a terrible thought came to his mind, his thick skin must be inherited from his ancestors, um...it must be.
