Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1091 One Million Dollars

  The wealth occupied by the clans is almost innumerable.

  Fang Jifan's words made Emperor Hongzhi wonder if this guy had taken the wrong medicine recently, and he was so bold.

   You must know that even Emperor Wen would not dare to touch the issue of the clan easily.

   Even if it is to cut down the vassal, I dare not use too much force.

   But at some point, Emperor Hongzhi discovered that Fang Jifan was actually quite a thief.

  If it really works...

  It really benefits the country and the people.

   There are quite a few of those clans, but they are not poorer than the emperor.

  Of course, we are talking about Emperor Hongzhi a few years ago. Now, Emperor Hongzhi’s purse has increased by more than ten times.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "You must not mention this matter again."

  Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi in astonishment.

Emperor Hongzhi patted the imperial case lightly with his hands, thoughtfully: "Qing is my son-in-law. This matter is of great importance. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement. If it fails, who can keep you? It is better to take it slowly. Don't rush everything."

  Fang Jifan said awkwardly: "Yes."

  Emperor Hongzhi said with deep meaning: "It's really time to mention it, you have so many disciples and grandchildren, you can let them mention it."

  Damn it...

  Fang Jifan is in a daze, His Majesty is very insidious, where did he learn this.

  My disciples and grandchildren, are they also fresh lives, okay? Why should they come to lay mine. But any person with a conscience...will hesitate for three seconds in front of this big right and wrong.

   But Fang Jifan also knew that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to protect himself.

  Fang Jifan was silent for three seconds: "I understand."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "It's just not the time yet, but... I have a brother in Anlu, who is named Xingwang. After a while, find a name and let him come to Beijing."

   As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi said: "This time, I am really tired, so you should leave too."

  Fang Jifan resigned, still beating drums in his heart. Today's steps seem to be a bit too big. That charter...is indeed a bit too much. Now that I think about it, it's good to be alive. Fang Jifan is facing the bright sunshine and basking in the spring breeze, and he secretly warns himself that he must never do anything It's too hasty, I, Fang Jifan, can't die, if I die, what should the people of Limin all over the world do? For them, I want to live well.

  Back to Xishan, Fang Jifan looked tired, but Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling did not leave, and were waiting happily. When Fang Jifan came, Zhang Heling stepped forward: "My nephew..."

  Fang Jifan looked at them with a smile, and said haha: "Today, you have a treat."

  Zhang Yanling seemed about to explode: "Why?"

  Zhang Heling smiled: "Okay, okay, my nephew and son-in-law have opened their mouths. If there is anything else to say, go to my house for porridge. It's just... Your Majesty..."

Fang Jifan sat down, crossed his feet, and looked at the pair of brothers: "Okay, Your Majesty will issue a decree in a short time that the palace will get 30% of that silver vein, the national treasury will get 30%, the Zhang family will get 30%, and there will be another one." Cheng, private fund raising, excavation.”

  Zhang Heling was stunned.

  30%…

   It is extremely difficult to excavate this silver vein. After all, a large number of ships and labor are required. This requires the use of the power of the court, so... even if Zhang Heling wants to monopolize it, he will not be able to excavate it.

  Thirty percent... Enough to make the Zhang family rich forever, and you can buy a house at will.

   With a plop, Zhang Heling knelt down.

  Zhang Yanling looked around, a little unwilling, brother, this is our big enemy.

   But when he saw his brother kneeling, he had no idea, so he knelt too.

Zhang Heling said: "Nephew-in-law, I don't know the rules very well, and I often offend you, but in my heart, I admire you very much. Today... I'm treating you and drinking white porridge. No, there are hundreds of catties of bacon in the house." , did not eat clean, and drank bacon porridge, which is ancestral bacon, passed down from my father..."

  Fang Jifan suddenly lost interest.

  I would rather choose death than accept the entertainment from the Zhang family brothers.

  Zhang Yanling licked his lips, as if looking forward to the bacon.

  Fang Jifan shook his head and said: "As a family, if you say this, it is a bit of a status. Oh, let me show you another way to make money, the house, you should buy it quickly."

  Zhang Heling's eyes lit up: "Why, can it still go up?"

  Fang Jifan helped Zhang Heling up, and said with a smile: "The general trend in the future will definitely increase, especially the houses along Tianjin Road and Tongzhou Road. In the future, I will release a thousand acres..."

   "Buy, buy, buy, buy it now." It's a blessing to have a nephew and son-in-law who knows the inside information: "Buy it even if you sell it."

Fang Jifan laughed again: "After you buy it, just wait and see. Tianjin Road and Tongzhou Road are the closest to the imperial city and have the highest value. I have reserved a lot of land and I am reluctant to sell it. How much can you mortgage, two uncles? Mortgage as much as you want, you are uncles and have titles, so there are preferential mortgages."

   "How much can it go up?" Zhang Heling couldn't help asking.

   "More than double!" Fang Jifan said calmly, "Is this enough?"

Zhang Heling was about to faint, and just because of this sentence, he really wanted to sell the iron. After returning from the sea this time, he had several million taels of silver. It's nothing to worry about, isn't it just for no reason, you can earn several times the money.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "If it is... haha, what I mean is, if it is possible to allow the clans to reside in Beijing, it will be more than doubled, and it will be a huge profit. The real estate in this area will be tripled, quadrupled, or Not impossible."

   "What?" Zhang Heling has already shut down, and his mind has directly entered a state of suspended animation.

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "Oh, there is something else, you two uncles, please feel free, I will go home to accompany Xiurong, see you later."

  Fang Jifan said, and in a flash... ran away.

   "Brother..." Zhang Yanling cautiously approached Zhang Heling: "I think...Fang Jifan is using us."

  Zhang Heling slapped him with a backhand, slap...

  Zhang Yanling was so wronged that he was about to cry, he covered his cheeks, and said more resentfully: "Brother..."

  Zhang Heling gritted his teeth: "Raise all the money and prepare to buy a house, whether it is first-hand or second-hand, as long as you have Tongzhou Road, Tianjin Road, even Baoding Road, how much you want!"

  ...

  Fang Jifan happily returned to the nursery.

  These children, each carrying a horse, sat around dozens of old soldiers.

  Zhu Houzhao was watching from a distance. When Fang Jifan came, Fang Jifan stood beside Zhu Houzhao with his hands behind his back: "Your Highness did not go to the research institute today."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "There is a difficulty, I am trying to figure out a solution, and I want to meet you on the way, I heard that the father called you into the palace, what did you say, did you mention the palace?"

  Fang Jifan said sternly: "Your Majesty did not mention His Highness, but I did mention His Highness."

   "Yeah." Zhu Houzhao was a little nervous, and said, "What did you say?"

  Fang Jifan said: "As a humble minister, it is natural to say that His Royal Highness is a wise and wise prince, both civil and military. If he can succeed in the future, he must be a good emperor. After hearing this, His Majesty thinks so, and is very touched."

  Zhu Houzhao looked up at the sky: "It makes sense, if I become the emperor, if I am willing to devote myself to it, I will definitely be better than my father."

  Fang Jifan raised his thumbs up: "Your Highness is too modest. His Highness Mingming can compare himself to the sages and sages of past dynasties by moving his fingers. Are there any emperors of all dynasties who know how to knit sweaters? No!"

  Zhu Houzhao suddenly grabbed Fang Jifan's neck, shaking desperately: "Why do you think you are mocking me again..."

  Fang Jifan felt that he couldn't breathe. Zhu Houzhao was so strong that his head didn't seem to belong to him. Fang Jifan finally said: "I'm not that kind of person, cough cough..."

  Many children, look this way.

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly put down his hands and smiled at them.

  Fang Jifan panted heavily.

the other side…

  Zhu Zaimo, Fang Zhengqing, and a group of children were thoughtful.

  The old soldier they surrounded was just an ordinary guard sergeant who had been stationed in Jinzhou City for decades.

  He is very old, his back is a bit hunched, and his complexion is like elm bark. No one thought that such an old soldier would be specially invited to be an instructor of children's martial arts.

  He is mainly responsible for the children's life in the "military".

  Of course... These half-grown children are most interested in listening to the story told by this old man while riding and shooting.

   Since Emperor Xuanzong, the old soldier replaced his father and became a soldier.

  The stories he told were all trivial things.

  In Jinzhou Guard, how to drill, and whether there are disputes in the army. Or... catching rabbits in the snow. The most difficult thing for military households is to marry a wife. How difficult it is to marry a wife and have children, and to be on duty in the camp...

  Many things, he likes to repeat over and over again.

   Especially when it comes to his own children and grandchildren, his cloudy eyes will shine.

  The children seemed to feel...suddenly saw a novel world, Zhu Zaimo listened very carefully, and Fang Zhengqing seemed to be full of curiosity.

  …

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "Old Fang, why are you looking for such an old soldier? He's a bit confused. If you want to teach them how to ride, shoot, march and fight, shouldn't you find some experienced veterans? Ben Gong is not bragging, letting me teach them is ten times better than this old soldier."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Highness is wrong. In my heart, this old soldier can teach children much more than any general who has experienced battles. This old soldier is the best in the world." Teacher, even if I am so good, I am only slightly better than him."

  Zhu Houzhao was not convinced, and couldn't help baring his teeth: "You're talking nonsense, old Fang, your brain disease has occurred again."

  Fang Jifan smiled and said nothing, looking at a group of energetic children, his eyes...glowed with light.

  He really loves these children, each of them treats them as his own sons, um... this time it's true.
