Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1105 Knowing Gratitude

  At this moment, Zhu Youzhu felt a feeling of excitement of finding something lost.

  In any case, his blood was preserved.

   This is something that is priceless.

  In any case, Fang Jifan is his great benefactor. Without him, Zhu Houcong would have died without a place to bury him.

   Hearing Zhu Youzhu's thanks, Fang Jifan seemed to be shy.

  After all...he has always been a person who does good deeds without expecting anything in return.

  Insisting on being kind and being willing to help others is the principle of Fang Jifan's life.

  Looking at Zhu Youzhu who was in tears.

  Fang Jifan was filled with emotion in his heart. He must have misunderstood His Highness King Xing. In fact... His Highness Xing Wang is still a good person.

   Such a nice person, do you want to help him?

Fang Jifan said: "We are all one family, why bother to talk about two families, your Highness must not say anything about gratitude, if you say it, it is a birth share, I see that your Highness is kind, but there is another benefit for you, come, come, come, Let's talk outside."

  Emperor Hongzhi saw that his nephew was getting better, and his heart relaxed. When he heard Fang Jifan winking, he kept a straight face. Suddenly, he remembered something and didn't say a word, just pretending...he didn't hear it.

  Fang Jifan had already helped Zhu Youtang up, almost half-embracing him, and was about to leave the dormitory. Zhu Youtang seemed a little worried, and looked back at Zhu Houcong on the sick bed. As a father, he still hoped to be with Zhu Houcong more at this moment.

But he was still dragged out by Fang Jifan, and out of the dormitory, Fang Jifan said to Zhu Youzhu with a smile: "His Royal Highness is able to come back to life, this is His Royal Highness's blessing, the so-called catastrophe must have future blessings, His Royal Highness King Xing, No, your luck has come."

  Zhu Youzhang looked at Fang Jifan dumbfounded, still a little confused.

At this time, it was his most vulnerable time, his mind was like a muddle, he nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes, it makes sense, in fact, it is more thanks to Qi Guogong, Qi Guogong and this king, turning hostility into friendship, this king is really good!" Thank you so much..."

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "In the future, His Highness will live in the capital. The safety of this son must be taken seriously, and nothing will happen again."

   Zhu Youzhu nodded again: "You are right."

Fang Jifan sighed: "It's not easy to live in this capital, especially with such an honorable status as His Highness. In my opinion, staying in Honglu Temple is not a long-term solution. Now His Majesty asks His Highness to set an example for the kings to enter the capital. Think about it, Your Highness. This is actually His Majesty's trust in His Highness King Xing. After all, His Highness King Xing is His Majesty's brother. If you open your mouth, which clan member dares to talk too much? As long as King Xing is strict, think about it. After this matter is done, can His Majesty treat his brothers badly? As the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe. Your Highness King Xing, you and Your Majesty are one. If you want to understand this section, His Highness Xing Wang should know how Done?"

  Zhu Youzhu was silent for a long time, and seemed to have figured it out, he nodded: "That's right, that's the reason. If Your Majesty really wants to call the clansmen to settle in the capital, I am His Majesty's brother, how dare I not obey, and how dare I not set an example?"

   Speaking of this, he sighed, what else is done?

  Fang Jifan laughed: "But how can we set an example?"

  Zhu Youzhuo said: "Hasn't this king already obeyed the order?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No, it's not enough to obey the decree. Let people know that His Highness is willing to stay in the capital steadfastly, and he is unwilling to leave. As I said earlier, living in Honglu Temple is not a long-term solution. Isn’t it because the **** Honglu is talking too much? I think His Highness should look for a place to live, so everyone will see that King Xing is going to live in Beijing for a long time, so His Majesty is very happy to see you?”

  Zhu Youtang frowned, actually... thinking it made sense: "Then when will Your Majesty bestow the mansion?"

  Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Youzhao dumbfounded, what the hell... I am indeed worthy of being the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I came to live in the capital, and still worry about the government allocating him a house?

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "There is a shortage of housing in the new city. How is it possible? His Majesty gave you a mansion. Your Majesty is very poor. Today is different from the past."

  Zhu Youzhu nodded: "Oh, this king built it himself?"

Fang Jifan shook his head again: "If His Highness builds it himself, wouldn't it humiliate His Highness's identity? Besides, does His Highness have land to build it? With such an honorable status, Your Highness must live in Xincheng. You can go to the land of this new city." Ask around, who is willing to sell it to His Highness? Your Highness, I am your junior. As a junior, I happen to have a suitable residence for His Highness, and I will keep His Highness satisfied. This place is not far from the imperial city, almost in the Daming Palace Not only that, but the mansion built there is a mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, and it is also safe. If His Highness can live in it, it will be really..."

  Zhu Youzhu was a little moved: "How many acres?"

   "Thirty mu!" Fang Jifan said: "This is the minimum. Of course, as His Highness, thirty mu is nothing."

   "It's only 30 acres..." Zhu Youzhu looked disgusted: "This king is in Anlu's palace, which is more than 300 acres."

   "This is the capital, please remember, the capital is not easy to live in."

   Zhu Youzhu felt that it made sense: "How much money?"

   "Not much, only 130,000 taels of silver per mu. This is a top-notch mansion, especially suitable for an identity like His Highness. Thirty mu, only four million taels of silver, is really suitable for His Highness's identity."

  Zhu Youzhu shuddered: "This king... this king has no money..."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Who is Your Highness? Your Highness is a prince. The annual income of Wangzhuang is amazing. Not only that, the imperial court also pays the king's salary every year. In fact, the younger generation ... counts for His Highness. Yes, His Highness is in Anlu, with hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, and many shops in Anlu, as well as the salary and rewards from the imperial court. This year, one hundred thousand taels of silver is just a child's work, and it is only four million taels of silver. For His Highness, a loan for a hundred years is not the same as playing. Come on, later on, the younger generation will give His Highness a The Wealth of Nations. This book is amazing. It talks about the devaluation of silver. Now...the depreciation is indeed severe, what does His Highness do with the silver? Pay a down payment and find a good place to live. Not only does His Majesty approve of His Highness, but not only that, this mansion can be passed on to all generations in the future. There is only one Daming Palace in Daming. There are countless lands in the world, but how can it be as good as the bottom of the imperial city? The younger generation has already settled the accounts for His Highness. In fact, if you calculate it this way, you can only repay the loan of ten thousand or two a month, even if Your Highness has no other income. It's nothing, Your Highness... cherish it."

  Zhu Youtang was dizzy when he heard that: "The house is here, I'm going to take a look."

   "It hasn't been built yet, but the drawings...you can take a look."

  Zhu Youzhu wanted to die: "You gave me the blueprint, and you want me to pay you?"

  Fang Jifan said: "This is the rule in Beijing, and it is the same in Xincheng!"

   "..."

  Zhu Youtang wants to go back to the countryside of Anlu.

  He faintly felt that he seemed to be trapped by someone.

But Fang Jifan was his son's savior, but Fang Jifan seemed to have come prepared, and invited him to a small hall. The people who accompanied him had already brought maps and renderings of the mansion. , as well as recent charts of silver and mansion prices.

  Zhu Youzhu was dumbfounded, he had never seen this thing before.

  Fang Jifan patiently explained that from the discovery of the new silver mine to the blueprint of the new city, Zhu Youzhao is an ordinary person, ordinary people can no longer be ordinary, and the biggest weakness of ordinary people is that they are not good at rejecting others.

  When he was having a hard time speaking, the accompanying bank personnel had already arrived, and had already prepared the formalities for subscription and loan, and several contracts were placed in front of him.

"Sign it, sign it, and you will have a big house to live in." Fang Jifan said respectfully: "Your Highness is a bold person, Xishan Jianye is such a big business, how dare you fool His Highness? Tell Your Highness a secret, Your Majesty... is also Xishan Jianye Shareholders, come, come, just press your fingerprint here."

  Zhu Youzhu's finger that had been dipped in red mud was finally pressed down by Fang Jifan who grabbed his hand.

  Zhu Youtang looked confused: "This king...this king..."

Fang Jifan hurriedly took the straw paper, wiped the red mud in Zhu Youzhao's hands courteously, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness is pleased to mention a 30-acre super-luxury mansion, it's amazing, it's amazing, the lord is the lord, the generosity, Your Highness , to tell you the truth, the person who can afford this mansion is someone like the prince, and the juniors admire him very much."

  Zhu Youtang: "..."

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi stood, making sure that Zhu Houcong was fine, heaved a long sigh of relief, put his hands behind his back, and set off to the place where the Empress Dowager rested, and reported the situation to the Empress Dowager, only then did the Empress Dowager feel relieved.

  It was getting late, so Emperor Hongzhi drove back to the palace with the help of the Empress Dowager.

   Then, Emperor Hongzhi himself got into the carriage.

  Xiao Jing was in the carriage, carefully sitting on the small sofa to accompany the driver.

  Emperor Hongzhi sullenly said: "Let me investigate thoroughly, no matter who is involved, don't miss one."

  Xiao Jing said solemnly: "The servant obeys the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi was both relaxed and scared. What he was afraid of was that someone would dare to attack his own nephew.

  Xiao Jing knew that next, the factory guard needed to go to war to prove his ability.

  Can suddenly...

Xiao Jing remembered something, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Your Majesty, just now Duke Qi and His Highness King Xing walked away together, and I haven't seen them since. Your Majesty drives back to the palace. Do you need...to be with them...this...this ...It seems that something is wrong. They are also, slaves dare, they should say hello to His Majesty no matter what."

  The implication is that Fang Jifan and His Highness King Xing are a bit disrespectful.

  Emperor Hongzhi had profound meaning on his face, and said coldly: "What's your business with them? Is it enough for you to talk nonsense here?"

  Xiao Jing was startled...

   "Slaves will die!"
