Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1380 Entering the palace to announce the good news

  With the Chenla Kingdom as an example, the follow-up matters will be much easier.

  Liu Wenshan traveled to and from various countries, running here and there.

  Chenla is both a good example and a bad example.

  The king was rude, he was beaten, and his majesty was demolished. Everyone knew about it.

   Therefore, countries are now in a state of desperation, no one dares to be rude to Liu Wenshan, everyone is respectful.

  The country of Chenla is another good example.

Under the promotion of Liu Wenshan, Xishan Bank gave loans to various countries after issuing treasure notes, temporarily easing the financial situation of various countries. At the same time, Siyang Commercial Bank began to expand in various countries, and after Siyang Commercial Bank, it was another Countless Han merchants came from everywhere.

   Aceh, Srivijaya, Siam…

  Western countries have to accept these conditions.

  In fact, even if they accept it, it won't work.

  With the credit bankruptcy of the local currency, merchants from various countries have begun to use precious banknotes for transactions in private after the Chenla Kingdom began to promote banknotes.

In their view, Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, with vast land and rich resources, and its credit is much higher than that of ordinary small countries. Although these are banknotes, they can be exchanged for real gold and silver at any time as long as they find Xishan Bank, and people also found that Xishan Bank The gold and silver are of extremely high purity.

  At first, the merchants got a lot of banknotes after the transaction, and they were still a little worried, so they hurriedly went to the bank to exchange gold and silver.

   But when they arrived at the Xishan Bank, they found that here, they could withdraw money at any time without the slightest obstacle, and the gold and silver they got were all in full.

   Gradually, people felt relieved, and they didn't bother to withdraw and exchange them anymore. Paper money was convenient, and large sums of wealth could be hidden close to their bodies. In addition, there was no trouble in trading.

  In addition, the copper coins of Xishan Bank have also begun to be promoted.

  Suddenly, merchants stopped accepting any other form of currency.

  Even if countries are resistant to Xishan Bank, they still can't stop this mighty trend.

   Merchants accept it, and the common people naturally accept it under this subtle influence.

  In Western countries, if someone can understand Chinese, they will gradually become popular.

  Siyang Commercial Bank brought not only commercial goods, but dealing with Siyang Commercial Bank, even negotiating with Xishan Bank, it would be much more convenient to understand Chinese.

  Many merchants began to recruit a large number of interpreters. The more people they recruited, the higher the price.

  On the street, many expatriates who used to be ordinary and poor took root in the local area because they were Han Chinese, and soon began to make a fortune. They began to wear silk, received a high salary, and had rattan sedan chairs when they went in and out.

  Inevitably, letters of memorials began to be sent to the ships going to Tianjin Port.

  …

  Fang Jifan wakes up early every morning and has a habit of reading the latest issue of the search journal first to see what he finds in it.

  The emergence of the microscope brought a new trend to the research of various subjects that had been somewhat stagnant.

   With the help of microscopes, many new theories have been discovered, or some theories have been confirmed.

  The various subjects in Xishan, as well as everyone in the Academy of Sciences, were extremely happy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

   Countless high-quality papers appear frequently.

  Fang Jifan sometimes even feels that if he doesn't read search journals, he will lose touch with this rapidly developing world.

   Even some theories, Fang Jifan looked at it himself, feeling a little powerless.

   After all... liberal arts students.

  For the so-called technology, Fang Jifan is only at the level of nine-year compulsory education.

   At most, it can only provide a direction for the people of this era.

  Because of having a direction, countless students have followed suit and continued to develop and innovate on the original theory.

  The entire Xishan Academy has 7,000 students, not including that in the capital, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen, the so-called wild 'scientists'.

  They have all been exposed to the latest knowledge. They are no longer in an agricultural society, trapped in the farmland, and have limited knowledge. Coming here, people from all over the world continue to communicate and have seen the vast world. Once people's horizons are opened, their minds will also broaden. These people will become the top minds of Ming Dynasty. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people will use their talents to gather together. God knows, what new ideas will emerge.

The only thing Fang Jifan can do is to control the direction. Where is the frontier of science? In history, it is a road that has been struggled through trial and error by countless people. In history, countless people are actually walking in vain. In the wrong direction, there are only a very small number of people who find the right direction.

  Like a light bulb, countless materials were tried before tungsten filaments were determined to have a high melting point.

  Thus, the various studies that Xishan Research Institute often submits are often controlled by Fang Jifan. In which direction to work hard, there will be results, avoid detours, and most importantly, don't waste money.

   "Master, Master..."

  A maid came in a hurry.

  Fang Jifan laughed, looked at the hurried maidservant, and asked calmly.

"how?"

  The maidservant blurted out hastily before she could catch her breath.

   "His Royal Highness, she is pregnant, she is pregnant, and this morning, she felt unwell and vomited again, so she hurriedly invited a doctor, and it was finally confirmed that she was pregnant."

  Fang Jifan let out a breath.

  He had doubts before, but now... it's a one-shot deal, ah no, it's a one-shot deal?

  Fang Jifan said: "What did they say?"

   "It's a sure thing."

  Fang Jifan smiled brightly: "Haha, is that right? It's a sure thing, is this...is it safe? Will there be any mistakes, or if I really want to enter the palace to announce the good news, His Majesty will have to kill me."

   "Master..."

  The maidservant was stunned, as if she had thought of something, she couldn't help but paused, and then said: "His Royal Highness also said the same thing, but those medical students and the invited imperial doctor all said the same thing..."

   "Same voice?" Fang Jifan looked suspicious: "Same voice what?"

   "They said, if they were not sure, how could they dare to speak with certainty? If the diagnosis is wrong, wouldn't they be killed by the young master to sacrifice to heaven?"

  Hoo...

   It seems very reasonable.

  Fang Jifan felt relieved, okay, take care of His Highness to rest, and I will go to the palace to announce the good news. "

   Said, excitedly changed into court clothes, threw the search journal aside, the chariot and horses were ready, Fang Jifan boarded the chariot.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned with the memorial in his hand.

  The news of Chenla Kingdom has made Emperor Hongzhi more and more worried.

  He looked at the ministers in the cabinet, as well as the recruited Minister of Rites and Minister of War.

   There was a moment of silence.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "According to the report, the Kingdom of Chenla has obtained a lot of blunderbuss from the Frangji people, and they have hooked up with them, secretly, let alone plotting something."

   This is what worried Emperor Hongzhi.

  Da Ming competed with the Franji in the Golden Continent, and even in the Northern Province.

  That's all.

   Ke Xiyang is Daming's backyard, if the backyard catches fire, wouldn't it be a big loss of face for Daming.

   What's more, Chenla is like this, will other countries follow suit?

  In the past, it was the Ming Dynasty who controlled the Frangji people, but now that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it seems that they are planning to use the Franji people to control the Ming Dynasty.

  Since Daming has arrived in Xiyang, you treat Daming as a public latrine, come and go when you say it?

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to hear his own thoughts, Zhang Sheng said, "The envoys sent by the Chenla Kingdom recently were quite obedient to my Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, the King of Chenla built the Muen Pagoda? It is hope, to bathe in His Majesty's kindness. Therefore...the old minister thought..."

"Humph!"

  Emperor Hongzhi was furious and flicked his cuffs violently.

   It's not about Mu Enta, it's okay.

  As soon as he said it, Emperor Hongzhi was overwhelmed in his heart.

  He threw the memorial in his hand on the imperial case.

   suddenly rose up.

   His face was livid.

   "The barbarians insult me!"

  This is Emperor Hongzhi's evaluation of this matter.

  If it is really a shower of kindness and respect to the Ming emperor, then... this is a gratifying thing.

   But while negotiating peace with Daming's enemies, while posing as Mu En, what is this?

   This is an insult to people's IQ.

  I really thought that Emperor Ming was deaf and blind, so I don't know what you are thinking.

  Seeing this, Zhang Sheng hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, this minister has neglected his duties and died. Do you want to issue an order immediately to the Chenla Kingdom to reprimand the King of Chenla?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

  He took the Linglong paperweight on the imperial case, put it in the palm of his hand, and played with it slowly. His eyes were worth pondering. After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed deeply, then shook his head at Zhang Sheng, and said, "That's all."

"this…"

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed again: "If the decree is ordered, what if it doesn't work?"

Liu Jian nodded: "Your Majesty is right. The so-called warning is for warning, but if Daming has no intention of using troops against Chenla for the time being, what's the use of warning? On the contrary, after the warning, King Chenla still behaved, so ...The imperial court is on the contrary riding a tiger."

  Speaking harsh words does not mean letting go just as you say.

  The kingdom of heaven must have credit.

   Otherwise, if you let out harsh words, the other party will ignore them, so what should you do?

  Other countries can see that if Daming speaks harshly, King Zhenla is still alive and well. I'm afraid...it will be a different attitude towards the Ming court.

Emperor Hongzhi put the memorial aside with a cold face, and then said word by word: "The Ministry of Rites has privately released news to the Chenla Kingdom, telling them that the imperial court has heard a little about their stay in the West. , let’s see how they are, try it first, this small country of Tsoer is really annoying, conquering it, it’s like chewing wax, not conquering it, but it’s like a clown, it’s annoying.”
