Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1352 Thousand Miles Seeking Marquis

  Everyone was speechless after hearing Wang Bushi's words.

  Your uncle, you have made money, but we are still struggling, carrying loans and living.

   You said it was easy, standing without back pain.

   Sure enough, rich people are like dogs.

   One counts as one, pull out those surnamed Fang and those surnamed Wang, and chop off their heads, none of them are wronged.

  But although everyone was yelling and cursing in their hearts, they all had smiles on their faces: "What Wang Xueshi said is true, and Wang Xueshi's kind deeds are even more admirable, admirable, admirable."

   "Xueshi Wang is a real gentleman."

   "What kind of gentleman are you?" Wang Bushi shook his head, and helped his sunglasses. These sunglasses... dare to change to a new one. A few days ago, the frame was still golden, but now I don't know what kind of fancy material has been changed.

Wang Bushi said: "It's just that although I have earned a little money occasionally, I still abide by the teachings of the saints. The difference between humans and animals is that animals do not know how to be polite, but humans also have benevolence, righteousness, and integrity. You see, the bell rang , I'd better enter the palace as soon as possible."

   "..."

  At this time, Wang Bushi gave people a sense of powerlessness.

  You are rich, you are right in everything you say.

  Everyone is still looking forward to the day when this philanthropic Scholar Wang casually reveals a little bit of news, so that everyone can make a fortune along with it. His words are silver, and salted fish can turn over with him.

  So everyone filed into the palace.

   And at the same time.

   Liu Wenshan, Liu Jin and his son have already got out of the car.

  Liu Wenshan took a deep breath, feeling extremely excited.

  Liu Jin even showed blue veins on her forehead.

   Driving in the palace is Liu Wenshan's ideal. But for Liu Jin, it was a fundamentally impossible thing.

   You must know that he is an eunuch, an eunuch, and a slave in the palace. No matter how high his status is in the future, he will never be treated like this.

   And now, this impossible task is done.

  Liu Jin was in a turbulent mood, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help saying: "Thanks to God, without him giving us a chance..."

  Liu Wenshan nodded, the teacher's kindness is like the sea, this is a great kindness.

  Although it is one thing to work hard, without this opportunity, hard work is useless.

Xiao Jing came out with a smile. He first nodded and smiled at Liu Wenshan friendly, and then his eyes fell on Liu Jin. This expression was extraordinarily weird. Immediately, Xiao Jing smiled even brighter: "You two great heroes, Your Majesty is a long time It's been a while, please, please."

  Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin regained their composure and hurriedly entered the palace.

  In the hall, Emperor Hongzhi was enthroned.

  Under the golden throne, stood Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan respectively.

  When Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin came in, they immediately bowed down and shouted long live.

   Then the two raised their heads, and then secretly looked at Fang Jifan.

  Master (Grandpa) looks very good, still very young, with outstanding temperament, personable, still so thin and tender, and his fair skin seems to be rosy.

As for Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin, because they traveled across the ocean, even though they put on court clothes, they couldn't hide the wind and dust on their faces. Their skin was bronze, and the corners of their eyes were slightly tired, showing a bit old. state.

  After the two saluted, Emperor Hongzhi got up from the imperial chair and said with emotion: "Come here, give the two Qings a seat."

   Liu Jin was even more cramped, and felt very uneasy. He was an **** after all, and he had never received such treatment.

   At this time, hundreds of officials have already filed in.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought of something, and said, "Isn't there another Wang Xizuo? Where is this person?"

"Report to Your Majesty." Liu Wenshan said solemnly: "Wang Xizuo is a Frangji man, but he has a heart for Daming. After the tulip bubble was exposed, the Frangji Continent was in a mess. The prices of land and assets plummeted. I feel that If it’s just returning with a full load, it’s still not enough. So Wang Xizuo was ordered to bring a boatload of gold and silver back to the northern province..."

   "Northern Province!" Emperor Hongzhi twitched his thick eyebrows lightly, and interrupted: "Where is the Northern Province, come and get a map."

  Xiao Jing quickly asked someone to take the map and spread it on the ground of Fengtian Hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi quickly stepped down from the golden throne, stepped on the huge map, and looked at it intently.

Liu Wenshan got up and pointed out the location of the Northern Province: "Here, they call themselves Dutch or Frisians. Look, Your Majesty, they are surrounded by the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France. On the side of France is the Kingdom of Spain. The location of this northern province is exactly to the north, facing England across the sea, to the east, to the German states, to the west, to France, its location is unique..."

  Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips, thoughtfully, and then said: "The Qing family will continue talking."

Liu Wenshan said conveniently: "The soldiers and civilians in the northern province are dissatisfied with the rule of the Spanish king. According to my prediction, the tulip catastrophe will cause heavy losses to all countries, and the northern province will inevitably lead to chaos. However, I think that if Wang Xizuo brings gold Yin, arrived in the Northern Province, and took this opportunity to buy land, real estate, and castles at a very low price...and provide financial support to the military and civilians in the Northern Province. Then, the Northern Province should be the first to survive the crisis And Wang Xizuo can also take this opportunity to control the northern province in one fell swoop, if he really succeeds, this stable northern province will become an isolated island compared with the chaotic Francchi."

"Isolated island?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Wenshan with great interest. He just wanted to meet Liu Wenshan and others and praise him well, but who knows, before he started to praise, Liu Wenshan reported another plan to himself .

  He looked at Liu Wenshan and couldn't help showing obvious appreciation, and asked, "What is an isolated island?"

Liu Wenshan was not excited in his heart, but he remained calm in front of the king, and talked about what he thought in his heart: "The crisis everywhere will intensify, there will be a large number of rebellions, and there will be wars everywhere, so where? If it is stabilized first, there will be a large number of businessmen and people going to seek refuge, if so, this northern province will become the best place for the whole Francine."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that this was the case, and said: "You mean, this northern province is equivalent to the capital and Baoding chief envoy, because the life here is better than ordinary state capitals, so when there are natural and man-made disasters, there will inevitably be a lot of People pouring in?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that is exactly the case. I am guilty of ten thousand deaths. It is based on this that I made this claim without authorization. This is also my idea. In terms of economics, once the northern province is the first to stabilize, it will naturally fall. A siphon effect will be produced. And by then, this place... will become a demonstration area. In the future, it can also become a fulcrum for Daming in Frangji. In the future, whether Da Ming wants to use troops against Frangji, or even with Folangji Langji conducts trade, and this northern province is not only a springboard, but also a showcase."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, and immediately rejoiced: "I understand, Frangji is thousands of miles away from Daming, and if Flangji is not restrained, sooner or later it will be a trouble in my Daming's heart. How can I allow others to snore under the couch? This northern province , is it a nail?"

   "Exactly." Liu Wenshan's eyes lit up, and he said, "If you operate it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded happily, with a smile on his face: "Good, good, good!"

   He said three good words in a row.

  A ship of gold and silver, if it can really play a role, it would be great.

  If this is the case, then it is another great achievement.

but…

  Emperor Hongzhi had a serious expression on his face, staring at Liu Wenshan and said: "The Qing family is somewhat sure."

"I dare not exaggerate. In view of the current shortage of gold and silver in Frangji, a large amount of wealth has been wiped out. At this moment, Wang Xizuo still has that boatload of gold and silver, which will have a great effect. If Wang Xizuo can use it, and the minister is 30 to 40% sure."

  Only 30% to 40%.

  However, in view of the fact that such a small price was used in exchange for greater benefits, it was already a good deal for Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled again, and said with emotion: "Liu Qing's family is thousands of miles away, and he can share my worries at any time. This is a true loyal minister. Not to mention whether the plan for the northern province can be successful, it depends on his leadership alone. Returning so much gold and silver, and weakening my confidant's serious troubles, this is a great contribution. Yesterday, I discussed with the cabinet. Come, Liu Qing's contribution is no less than the military merit of destroying the country. Those who are appointed as marquises, this is the system of the ancestors, come here, and make a decree, ordering Liu Wenshan to be the Marquis of Dinghai."

  After hearing this, all the officials looked at Liu Wenshan enviously.

   Not to mention that Liu Wenshan's future is boundless. Now that he has won a marquis, this is something that many people have struggled for a lifetime, but they can't get it.

  Among the civil servants, those who can be knighted are really rare, and it is almost an impossible task, and this Liu Wenshan, just relying on this alone, is enough to boast for a lifetime.

  Fang Jifan was cheerful and pleased.

  When he heard that he had to be granted the title of Marquis, Liu Wenshan subconsciously gave Fang Jifan a grateful look.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin again: "Liu Jin."

   Liu Jin hurriedly bowed down: "The slave is here."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: "You are in charge of the Siyang Commercial Company. In the past two years, you have achieved such good results. It can be said that you have worked hard. At the beginning, when the prince and Jifan recommended you, I still had some doubts. Now it seems that they are right. Yes, this time you went to Frangji with Liu Qing's family, and you have a share of the credit. Although you are an eunuch, you are a palace slave, but I will never treat one more than another. Several ministers think that eunuchs It is not suitable for awarding, but I think carefully, the subjects of the world, whoever has meritorious service, there is no reason not to reward, I will decree you as Nan'an Bo."

  South Amber…

  Liu Jin's eyeballs were about to fall off. He raised his head in astonishment and looked at Emperor Hongzhi, feeling a little dazed.

  We...a eunuch...how did he become an uncle?

  ...
