Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1215 Deceiving the Heaven and Exterminating the Ancestors

  Deng Jian came back soon.

   After receiving the letter, he arrived in Beijing in full swing.

  Looking at the long-awaited Jingshi, and then...he lost his way.

   After wandering around for a long time, I finally found Xishan and met Fang Jifan.

   "Master..." Upon seeing Fang Jifan, Deng Jian's tears burst into tears, he almost hugged Fang Jifan's thigh, and began to wipe his tears with Fang Jifan's trousers.

  Fang Jifan kicked him away: "You dog, if you cry again, I will castrate you."

  The crying stopped miraculously.

  Fang Jifan felt that the world was quiet now. He glanced at Deng Jian and asked slowly, "Do you know why you were called back?"

   "Young Master, you miss the villain?" Deng Jian answered Fang Jifan excitedly while wiping away his tears.

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Take a deep breath, you must have a conscience, after all, you are someone who has followed you for so many years, Fang Jifan said with difficulty, with his hands behind his back, "Yes, but this is just one of the reasons, and there is another more important reason."

  Deng Jiangang couldn't help but flooded the tears that had stopped just now. It was really rare to hear the young master say such words. Seeing his young master's serious expression, he didn't dare to cry, but acted like he was listening.

  Fang Jifan saw that Deng Jian was not crying, he walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the scenery outside the window, and then said: "When you were in Hexi, you also met many merchants."

  Deng Jian nodded repeatedly.

  Fang Jifan said: "What do you think of them?"

   "These **** things..." Deng Jian was silent again when he said this, and then said with a smile: "What do you think, young master?"

   "I think they are always overly cautious, as timid as a mouse." Fang Jifan said.

Deng Jian nodded: "This... yes, there are, they are timid, the young master is really wise, young master..." Deng Jian burst into tears with excitement, and choked up: "Young master is far-sighted, in this world, there is no A person can be compared with the young master."

  Fang Jifan wanted to kick him again, but in the end, he hesitated, and sighed in his heart, this bastard, after so many years, he still has this kind of virtue, it really hasn't changed at all.

Fang Jifan complained in his heart, and then continued: "Look, they have countless wealth, but the vast majority of them are as timid as mice, and they have to think twice before doing anything. The few rich people hide and hide, and when they have money, they don’t dare to show it, just like rats crossing the street, tell me, why is this?”

   "Yes." Deng Jian couldn't help being puzzled, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked very seriously: "Why is this?"

Fang Jifan said: "This is because these dogs are afraid. But... I thought about it carefully, this is not good, why should I be afraid? Isn't it because I have countless silver in my hand, and I am afraid that someone will be jealous, someone will destroy the house Is it? If all these rich people are like this, with little prudence, can the common people in this world benefit?"

   "The young master is so right." Deng Jian wiped his eyes: "The young master is far-sighted, and the words are right. They have to spend money, otherwise the people will not be able to live."

  Although he only followed Fang Jifan's words to curry favor with Fang Jifan.

  But... this sentence is true.

  The shape of society has changed.

In the past, there was only such a little productivity. All the wealth was planted in the ground, and the crops in the ground depended on the sky, and the land was limited. The more extravagant the rich, the more expensive the people at the bottom is miserable.

  The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink road has frozen bones. This concept has almost become political correctness in the farming society.

  But now, times are different.

  Workshops have begun to take shape, capital has also begun to appear in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, and a large number of refugees have appeared. With the appearance of steam engines and railways, productivity has been improved.

  At this time, frugality, wealth storage, how to drive consumption, no consumption, how to start workshops, and no work, how everyone lives.

  In the final analysis, the prudent rich have all learned from historical experience and chose to act in a low-key manner.

But Fang Jifan does not allow them to keep a low profile, you have to spend money, whether you put your money in stocks, buy a house, or go eat and drink, it doesn't matter, low-key is a crime, long live extravagance, you have to be a qualified upstart.

Fang Jifan said: "My young master, I have the world in my heart, and I am very worried about this, so I thought about it, and I can't go on like this. The atmosphere of the society needs someone to guide it, so that people dare to spend money and are willing to spend money, so I said At present, there is a guy named Wang Bushi in Beijing. He has a lot of money. He has money, but he still wears a few old robes to go in and out. What is this, you old guy, what he does is Is it something that the rich do? Even he is like this, so there is no need to mention other people. "

"That's why I called you back. Let's let him set an example. I have already thought about it. Tomorrow, I will send you to the Wang's house. How about you, follow Wang Bushi around day and night and teach him how to spend money?" No matter how high-profile it is, don't give this young master face, don't worry, he has already agreed to everything, and everything is up to this young master."

"Yeah." Deng Jian said coyly: "Master, I have always been very poor. I am in Hexi, I have a clean sleeve, I am not close to women, and I never take a needle from the mine. I only devote myself to doing errands for the young master. This matter... The villain is afraid that he will not understand."

  Fang Jifan stared at him fiercely, and said every word.

"Can you say that again!"

  Deng Jian was frightened out of his wits, and nodded hurriedly: "The villain understands, understands, we must make Wang Bushi high-profile, we must make him famous all over the world, and set an example for the people of the world."

Only then did Fang Jifan step forward, and put his hand lightly on his shoulder: "Look, you have been away for too long, and you just came back. Maybe you don't know much about the young master's recent temper. Don't be hypocritical in front of this young master in the future. , because this young master likes to peel skin now."

  Deng Jian just laughed: "The young master is versatile, learned a lot, and even knows how to peel skins. I'm so lucky to be able to follow the young master. The ancestral grave is full of smoke."

  Fang Jifan waved to him impatiently: "Get lost."

  Deng Jian was very numb... Get out.

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi looked down at the copy.

  He felt that he had a terrible headache.

   It was previously agreed to set up a strategic security bureau, but who knew that in the newly sent charter, it was actually to use a commercial bank as a cover, and this commercial bank was needed to obtain some franchise rights for maritime trade.

  Not only that, in Zhu Houzhao's memorial, he even asked himself to allocate a sum of money from within as the start-up capital of the firm.

   How do you listen, the prince and Fang Jifan, in the name of spying on overseas military affairs, cheated me of my money to do business?

   Once the franchise is granted, they are also allowed to engage in maritime trade. God knows that these two guys will be cheated and kidnapped, and the overseas world that they messed up in the end will be turned upside down.

  Emperor Hongzhi finished reading the latest regulations, looked up, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who looked cute.

   "Honorful photo." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Today...how can I see you so responsible."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "This is because my son has learned to behave well, and when he grows up, he naturally knows that his father is always worried about himself. This son dare not let his father worry about him anymore. Therefore, from now on, he will change his mind and start a new life."

  Emperor Hongzhi still kept smiling: "Really?"

  He didn't think so.

   This is asking for something, so be nice for a few days.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "You have a big appetite for this charter."

   "Father..." Zhu Houzhao said: "This is for the country and society of the Ming Dynasty."

  Emperor Hongzhi tapped the copybook lightly, whether it was for the sake of the country, his heart was like a mirror.

  So, Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, and said, "Fang Jifan, what are you doing recently?"

   "It is said that it is to change the atmosphere. Those who have money, and those who are very rich, are all very stingy. I don't know how much wealth they have hidden. Ji Fan wants to dig out their money."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised.

  Zhu Houzhao patiently explained: "In fact, after several rounds of property market increases, the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty has already circulated.

The original aristocratic families, as well as countless honorable families, have accumulated wealth for generations and transformed them into mansions. However, through the construction of mansions, many workshops and merchants for production have been allowed. And get rich.

  If wealth is water, the water flows from the hands of the traditional scholars to the hands of the emerging merchant class, but it is a pity that after arriving at the merchants, it stops flowing. "

  Emperor Hongzhi listened patiently. He knew in his heart that nine out of ten this was Fang Jifan's new theory.

   "That's what Ji Fan said, and then, you can talk about it later." Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

  Zhu Houzhao got excited: "Speaking of it, I can't blame others for this. If we want to blame, we can blame our ancestors, that is, Emperor Taizu Gao..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly pulled down.

Zhu Houzhao didn't realize it: "The emperor Gao, the great ancestor, was really fed up. He was a merchant, and he earned some money, so he missed it. He wiped out all the people, ransacked the family, and killed the family. Father, you said this is What did people do?"

   "Fang Jifan said this?" Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, but continued to smile on his face.

  Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "Some are what Fang Jifan said, and some are what I think."

  Emperor Hongzhi knocked on the copy: "Zhao Fang Jifan."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Father doesn't need to call Fang Jifan, just ask the minister, he understands, and the minister also understands."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his face: "By the way, let me hang this **** who bullies the sky and destroys the ancestors. You bastard, I have indulged you again and again. Who knows, if you don't want to correct yourself, you will make mistakes again and again. I will return you!" You're not dead, the land passed down by your ancestors is still there, I can tolerate you **** talking nonsense here, slandering so wantonly, come... hang up, if I don't kill you today, I will be ashamed of my ancestors, Ashamed of my ancestors!"

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."
