Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1152 Fang Dashan will make you rich

  The advantage of Fang Jifan is that.

  No matter what the disciples and grandchildren want to do, Fang Jifan can always try his best to support them behind the scenes.

  This is not an ordinary spiritual support. Generally, people who are willing to support spiritually are scum and scum. Fang Jifan is different, he also provides material protection.

  Crossing the Bering Strait is of great significance.

   On the one hand, it has found a way to cross two continents by land, and can directly reach Alaska.

   You must know that the Golden Continent is so big that it is impossible to go from east to west or from north to south under the current traffic conditions.

  Xu Jing and others have found a way to reach the Golden Continent through Kunlun Continent, so they are now continuously migrating their population to Central America or Venezuela in later generations.

  Brothers Zhang Heling, after finding a way to cross the Pacific Ocean, they can take the ocean currents to reach the east coast of Mexico, and then spread all over the South Gold Island to establish settlements.

But when people arrive at this vast Golden Continent, how to build more settlements becomes a problem again. There is a huge desert between the South Golden Continent and the North Golden Continent. Under the current conditions, if you want to It is difficult to cross. Needless to say, between the two, there may be natives with unknown friends and enemies at any time, and even Franji people may be encountered, not to mention, there are countless forests and mountains straddling it.

   One of the ways to go directly to the North Golden Continent, or even there, is to gradually build settlements one by one before the Franji people, and pass directly through the Bering Strait.

  Although there are countless obstacles in this process, it can be described as extremely difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, compared with the great navigation, it is actually half a catty.

  In this era, it is even more difficult to break through the limitations of geography. The great voyage of Franji was also paved with blood and tears.

  In addition, the most important thing for this adventure is to accumulate enough experience, and slowly find out a set of methods in the vast ice field.

After the great voyage in history, countless adventure teams appeared in Franji. They crossed the swamp, crossed the ice field, and crossed the desert. Quartet, leaving footprints.

   Now, the Little Ice Age is nothing less than an opportunity.

  Fang Jifan cheered up and went to the palace immediately.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't expect that Fang Jifan would come to see him because the sun came out from the west, so he pulled his face and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall."

   "Yes." Fang Jifan said: "I have a charter here, please read it Your Majesty."

  Xiao Jing sent the charter to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi opened it, glanced at it, and said in amazement: "Why go to the West when you can go to Huangjinzhou by land..."

   "Uh..." Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, the land route is also full of dangers. It needs to pass through straits and ice fields, and there are endless ice and snow, my son..."

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "In this way, the risk is greater than that of sailing."

Fang Jifan said: "Between brothers and sisters, it was Wang Wenyu, the disciple and grandson of my minister, who put forward this theory. Wang Wenyu, your majesty, I think you have an impression. He was the one who put forward the theory of round earth. He was a scholar in the Academy of Sciences. In the Imperial Palace, His Majesty thought of many things, and he had referred to them, so he recommended himself, hoping to organize an expedition team to open up a land route."

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

  The guys from Xishan Academy are really crazier than the other.

  Going up the mountain and down to the sea, everyone seems desperate.

  Emperor Hongzhi had seen the map.

  Nurgandusi, which the Ming Dynasty could control, was extremely cold there, which was already the limit of human activities. They had to go north, or even... east, to cross a frozen strait.

  That’s not counting. God knows if the strait is still frozen. If it’s above, it’s just floating ice?

  There are too many variables here.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Does this expedition need such a huge scale?"

"Yes, prepare at least 2,000 people, Your Majesty. On the one hand, they need enough manpower to help each other. The possibility of their survival is just a little higher. Moreover, if they want to cross the strait, they must have enough supplies. Then On the thousands of miles of ice field, supplies are easy to handle. The snow is smooth, and if there is a sled, you can bring enough supplies. But the most terrifying thing is that on the snowfield, you may be attacked by wolves and other ferocious beasts at any time. If the number is too small, a single attack by a pack of wolves is enough to annihilate their entire army..."

  Fang Jifan wants to play a big ticket.

   "In this way, how much silver do you need?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned again.

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Here in Xishan, we are going to raise one hundred thousand taels. If it is His Majesty's internal money, I will also take some..."

  Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time: "Since there are so many people, and they are all warriors of my Ming Dynasty, if they can really cross this ice sheet, it will be a great achievement."

   As he spoke, he ordered someone to take out the map.

At present, the entire west bank of the Golden Continent is criss-crossed, and there are many settlements of Franji and Daming. This is the information that the factory guards inquired from the Franji. It is extremely inaccurate, but it is already certain that many Franji Robots, on the east coast of North Golden Continent, there are quite a few settlements.

   But between the North and South Golden Continents, there is a desert, which is nothing more than a natural moat for people like Lu Guogong.

In order to catch up with the development and growth of the Franji people in the North Gold Continent, the rapid North Gold Continent, especially its west bank, has a large number of people migrating, making it form a corner with the immigrants in the South Gold Continent, and clamping down on the Franji Man, then... that seems like an option.

Emperor Hongzhi tapped the case gently with his hand: "This is the foundation of the country. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed. I will also take out one hundred thousand taels of silver. If it is not enough, you will go to raise money. I have always been thinking about gold There are not many people who are interested in the Golden Continent, as if the management of the Golden Continent has nothing to do with them, these ministers of mine, I can't teach them to stay out of it. What do you think of Jifan?"

   "This is easy to handle." Fang Jifan said: "Privately raising money, fooling... no, it's not fooling, it's collecting expedition funds from officials, and at the same time, the proceeds from the expedition will be distributed as dividends. Your Majesty thinks, how about this?"

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Sure enough, you still have a solution, it's just...are they willing?"

  Fang Jifan said: "If you tell them that this expedition team is close to death, they will definitely not agree."

  Emperor Hongzhi asked the case: "I don't care how to deal with it."

   "Understood." Fang Jifan was happy.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "These days, clansmen are beginning to come to Beijing one after another. These are all relatives of the emperor. I can't let them go and let them stay comfortably in Beijing. It's better to be obedient. This time...Let King Xing, who is my younger brother, take charge of the clan affairs, and you are the son-in-law, so you should also help from the side."

  Fang Jifan nodded: "I understand." Just in time, the house of His Highness King Xing was almost finished.

  …

   The expedition team began to form.

   This is the first geographical expedition team of Xishan Academy, but their first expedition directly chose the **** mode.

   Therefore, Fang Jifan needs a large number of recruits to prepare dry food along the way, as well as clothes to keep out the cold, and all materials.

   The cost of this is not small.

  Because what they have to face is the extremely bad weather, only the clothes to keep out the cold, ordinary clothes are not acceptable, in order to ensure that they will not freeze to death, all clothes need to be specially made.

  Dry food should be light and portable, but also need to be able to add enough calories.

   There are also weapons, and encountering wolves is no joke.

   Medicines also need to be fully prepared.

   All the selected people are mostly sergeants from Liaodong. They have a certain understanding of the snowy weather.

  And strive to be enough loyal ministers, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and heavy rewards are silver.

   Hearing that there is a land route that can reach the Golden Continent, many people suddenly became curious.

  Since then, Xishan began to issue adventure stock coupons.

  If you are willing to fund the expedition to reach the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the mines and land discovered by the expedition can be distributed according to the share ratio in the future.

   Immediately afterwards, news came out that the palace invested 100,000 yuan, and Xishan also invested 100,000 yuan.

   All of a sudden, many people couldn't sit still.

  Overland…

  The Golden Continent has long been proven to contain countless fertile land and minerals.

  Over the past few years, Daming has become more and more dependent on minerals. Of course, it is obviously unrealistic for the minerals in the distant Golden Continent to supply Ming's needs, but...the Golden Continent has a lot of precious metals.

  This thing, but everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Countless ships directly pulled gold and silver to Tianjin Port. I don’t know how many people got rich overnight because of it.

  But now, the Golden Continent can be reached by land.

   If it can be achieved, wouldn't this be... Ten times, a hundred times the return.

  The Zhang brothers were the first to sit still.

  After that, many people began to surround Xishan, looking around for the truth of the news.

   As for Xishan, they just faltered.

  Fang Jifan was ill.

  Good guy... Qi Guogong is actually sick. He is young, and he is not sick at other times. It just so happens that he gets sick at this time. This bastard, I don’t want to bring everyone with me when I get rich.

  The more this happened, the more anxious everyone became.

  Now that the value of silver is depreciating day by day, apart from buying a mansion, it is really worrying to keep the silver in your hands and watch the wealth shrinking day by day.

   Now that there is such a good thing... Everyone couldn't figure it out at first, why... Xishan would issue stock coupons, but then, someone figured it out.

First, the palace invested in shares, and then Xishan. The palace invested 100,000 taels. How dare the Fang family own more shares than His Majesty. Therefore, they can only invest 100,000 taels, but where to raise the rest of the money? ?
