Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1316 Emperor's heart is unpredictable

  Fang Jifan said, and took out a financial report from his sleeve.

   This financial report was calculated by Fang Jifan's sister, Fang Xiaofan.

  A thick stack.

   "This is the approximate amount of income from the internal treasury recently, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

  Zhu Houzhao stared straight at the eyes, Lao Fang, this bastard, so he came prepared, fortunately he still kept it from Ben Gong.

  Fang Jifan casually made a face at Zhu Houzhao.

  If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive firewood is.

  Let’s teach both Emperor Hongzhi and the Crown Prince a lesson today.

  I, Fang Jifan, are good teachers. If I had told the crown prince about this money-worthy flower, I don’t know what madness Zhu Houzhao would have done.

  Thus, although Zhu Houzhao is prodigal, he still has some bottom line.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious.

  He took the report.

   This report is clear at a glance, but...

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was ugly, and he couldn't help saying: "Jifan, how do you know how many stocks, time deposits and cash are in my internal funds?"

  In the report, there is the previous cardinality of the internal library.

  For example, how many stocks are there, what is the value of each stock, and the monthly dividends from the coal industry, iron industry, and construction industry...these numbers are almost exactly the same.

  Emperor Hongzhi was terrified.

   This is really not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it.

  You, Fang Jifan, are well aware of my wealth.

   This must be the prince, who acted so boldly that someone went to clear the internal treasury.

  Fang Jifan had a depressed look on his face: "Your Majesty, you will know this... just ask."

"Ok?"

Fang Jifan said: "The cabinet and the six ministries, not to mention scholars, ministers, and ministers, but just random servants and scribes, they are all clear about it, and I don't know why everyone knows it. This Xiaofan said, She said that everyone on the street knew about it, even the gatekeepers knew about it."

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

   What a **** to describe in my heart.

   Dare to love is what everyone is thinking about.

  Do I still have privacy?

   No wonder there is a shortage of silver in the treasury, and all the officials are calm and calm, calm and relaxed.

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

   There was a long silence.

  Take a deep breath.

  It's not easy being a king.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and began to look at the report. Sure enough, as Fang Jifan said, 70 million taels of silver were released, and the income of various items in the internal treasury began to grow crazily, not to mention the monthly dividend income. An increase of more than 50%, and according to this trend, it may directly double in the future.

  The growth of the various stocks held by Neiku is gratifying. Even Siyang Commercial Bank, which is the least optimistic, has soared by 30% today.

This means that…

  Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed.

  In the long run, if the money is spent, not only will there be no loss, but there is even the possibility of making a profit?

this…

  Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, he couldn't understand.

   After thinking about it carefully, I feel that it seems to be quite in line with the economic principle.

Throwing 70 million taels of silver, the population of millions will increase, the demand will increase sharply, and all industries will prosper. In the past, there were one million people who needed cloth in the market, but in the future, there will be two million people. Limited, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable.

As a result, merchants found that with so much silver suddenly appearing on the market, the pressure of inflation increased, and it was extremely unwise to hold cash in their hands. Moreover, under the strong demand, the return on investment was astonishingly high. At this time, driven by the 70 million taels of silver, it was more than 70 million taels. Countless funds were thrown into the stock market and the expansion of workshops. A large number of victims were recruited, and raw materials began to increase. …

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

So to say…

  Emperor Hongzhi felt a lot easier all of a sudden.

  I'm afraid that by the end of the year, my 90 million taels of silver will be returned to the original owner, and even...the income may be even higher.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have never understood why the prince is so nonsense, and Jifan still indulges him like this. Now that I think about it, it turns out that is the case."

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

   "Your Majesty..." Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfied: "Why didn't the father think in a better direction? In fact, this has always been the result of careful consideration by the minister?"

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "Spending money is your skill, earning money, you can be as good as the successor?"

  There's nothing wrong with that...

  Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved.

   But with a sullen face, he accepted the financial report: "This financial report must not be leaked, and no one will know how much money is in the internal treasury, do you understand?"

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I must keep my mouth shut, but I don't know if other people will leak it."

  Emperor Hongzhi was in a daze for a moment: "Who are the others you mentioned?"

  Fang Jifan eloquently said: "I dare not make wild guesses. I am a man of conscience. How can I falsely accuse others in front of Your Majesty? The man is alive..."

   "Enough." Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand: "You are talking about... Xiao Banban..."

   "I didn't say it." Fang Jifan argued hard.

  Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: "I see, all right, get off the car and drive back to the palace with me."

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan both heaved a sigh of relief, saluted again, and got out of the car.

  The imperial chariot was parked in the middle of the road, Xiao Jing and the accompanying officials were all talking in low voices.

  In Xiao Jing's heart, there was an indescribable feeling.

  Your Majesty loves money like his life, and finally saved a little money from his private house. Now it's all right, the crown prince spent it all. His Majesty will definitely be furious, Xiao Jing couldn't be more clear about His Majesty's thoughts.

  Fang Jifan and the crown prince are inseparable, and the two of them only need to wear a pair of trousers.

  According to his guess, Fang Jifan will definitely jump out and take the blame. At this time, Fang Jifan will definitely finish his game, and he must be beaten.

  He stood outside the carriage, behind him were all the officials, and the officials were whispering, it seemed that everyone had heard about these things.

   They are uncomfortable with His Royal Highness's behavior of such a prodigal, isn't the money in the inner treasury also our money? The so-called home world means that the world belongs to the Zhu family. If you change the way of thinking, the Zhu family also belongs to the world.

  Thinking about it this way, everyone seems to feel that the crown prince has spent all their money.

  My heart aches.

"Your Majesty used to teach his sons with sticks and leather whips. Now that the Crown Prince and Duke Qi have offended Nilin, I'm afraid...it's going to get worse. Are you a big guy? Go and knock on the car door, but you can't let the Crown Prince and Duke Qi be beaten to death by His Majesty." .”

  The one who was worried was Xie Zheng, a member of the Ministry of War.

  He is an honest man.

   It's interesting to see him come forward again.

   Several colleagues hurriedly pulled him back: "No, no, if you can't beat him to death, you can't beat him to death."

   Xie Zheng frowned even deeper.

   Colleagues were in a hurry: "This is family education. How can I interfere with the affairs of the heavenly family... Monarchs and ministers, father and son, His Majesty teaches the son, this is a matter of course, brother Xie, don't do this, it is not good."

  Liu Jian and Xie Qian both looked calm and calm, and they couldn't help smiling wryly when they heard the whispering behind them.

  The crown prince and the Duke of Qi are really amazing. They can actually make troubles to the point of wrath.

  At this time, the door opened.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan got out of the car intact.

   This moment, Xiao Jing's jaw almost dropped.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan ignored them, they got on their horses and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, go ahead, what are you still doing, hurry up."

   "..."

  All the people reacted.

  Looked at each other.

   This is obviously unreasonable.

  Many people thought in their hearts, if my son and son-in-law managed to defeat my family for a few months, I would definitely kill him, for sure, such a wicked beast, dare to keep it?

  Perhaps... Your Majesty is ignoring it?

  Yes, His Majesty must be very angry. The more understatement this is, the greater the anger that His Majesty will accumulate.

  Prince and Qi Guogong are about to die.

  People looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan with pity and sympathy.

  Thanks to these two guys, they are still bouncing around.

   I'm afraid that when His Majesty returns to Beijing, they will be the ones to look at.

  It's really sad for them.

  They are born rich, but they don't know how to cherish it.

  The mighty team moved slowly amidst countless people's guesses.

  The next day, the capital is already in sight.

  Li Dongyang and the others came to pick him up with the left-behind civil and military ministers just now.

  Emperor Hongzhi sat in the car all day long, living in secluded places, not knowing what was going on in his mind, with a worried look, Xiao Jing saw it in his eyes, knew His Majesty's temperament, good at forbearance, he must be thinking about big things.

  Could it be...

  A terrible idea came to Xiao Jing's heart, could it be that he wants to abolish the prince...

  Knowing this beforehand, His Majesty beat the prince severely, maybe... this anger will be easier to dispel.

   But now according to Xiao Jing's understanding of His Majesty, the beating and not beating, scolding and not scolding, such silence, isn't it the calm when the storm comes?

  Xiao Jing was quite emotional.

I, Xiao Jing, finally have an elated day. Normally the crown prince and the Duke of Qi would look down on us, but now it seems...the emperor’s grandson should be established, and the emperor’s grandson has a good temper. He is kind to us when he sees us, and he doesn’t seem to think much of the prince. Got it, maybe...

   His mind began to turn.

  In fact, there are quite a few people with this idea.

   A servant of the Ministry of Justice, Zeng Jie, who had a good relationship with Xiao Jing, pulled Xiao Jing aside. The two were from the same hometown. On the surface, it seemed that they had nothing to do with each other. Zeng Jie had even impeached Xiao Jing, but in fact, they had a very good personal relationship.

   Zeng Jie said: "Grandpa Xiao, last night, I thought about it and didn't fall asleep all night."

  Xiao Jing looked at him, amused: "Why?"

   "Your Majesty was very weird yesterday. I was thinking about the world, and I was a little worried. Xiao Gong believes that what is Your Majesty thinking at this time."

"What are you thinking?"

   "This... dare not say."

  Xiao Jing calmly said: "You must be thinking, the emperor's heart is unpredictable."

   Zeng Jie blushed: "Eunuch Xiao knows His Majesty's thoughts, what do you think?"

  Xiao Jing said in a cloud of fog: "Maybe something will happen."

"Really?" Zeng Jie had a thought: "You mean... Your Majesty needs an opportunity? I see that the emperor's grandson and Li Gong are also here, and His Majesty is very happy. He hurriedly let the emperor and his majesty ride together, but... the crown prince... It's the emperor's grandson's father, this..."

  Xiao Jing looked at Zeng Jie meaningfully: "The prince is the prince, and the emperor's grandson is the emperor's grandson."
