Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1534 If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know how expensive it is

  Emperor Hongzhi now regards Xishan as his backyard.

  Go as you want, go as you want.

  Looking at Chaozhong, the Qingliu are in disarray, and the Confucian scholars have been dismissed.

   There is a lot less croaking in my ears, but it is also clean.

  The only regret is that Xiao Jing is not here, there is no one trustworthy to talk to, so it is inevitable that I feel uneasy.

   "Go and prepare." After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi made a final decision.

  The **** nodded and hurried away.

  …

  Fang Jifan put his legs on the copybook, swayed around, holding the workshop's monthly report in his hand, almost bursting with joy.

   Sure enough... the best money in this world is money for the elderly and children.

   Especially when filial piety is used to rule the world, it is not necessary to mention it.

  Zhu Houzhao has been missing for a month.

  Fang Jifan was not at all surprised by this.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been like this, and got into the eyes of money.

   Having said that, if this guy becomes the emperor in the future, it will be a disaster for many people.

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to think about the picture of the future Ming emperor full of business knowledge.

  Fang Jifan hummed a tune, while Wang Jinyuan stood aside: "Master, in the letter from Osman, it is said that Suleiman has become king, and his father died, and his son succeeded him, and he even used Confucian scholars, but..."

Wang Jinyuan, as Fang Jifan's most important assistant, besides taking care of some business affairs, is helping Fang Jifan deal with correspondence. He looked at Fang Jifan carefully and said: "These Confucian scholars... are really strange. In Daming, they are disgusting. Are the flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall?"

  Wang Jinyuan looked unreasonable.

  Because in his mind, Confucian scholars are not likable.

   Even… nasty.

Wang Jinyuan then said cautiously: "In addition, young master... Is our Bafang Trading Company going to send a caravan? The villain has thought about it. At present... the main product is silk. Silk is light and easy to transport. , sent it there, and sold it at a high price. Porcelain, on the other hand, needs to be taken by sea, but I heard... Although the Ottoman country is by the sea, the place where it is close to the sea is not very peaceful. This matter can be eased. Except In addition... Should I also bring a batch of Shiquan Dabulu to supplement Osman?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Let's put aside the matter of Shiquan Da's supplementary dew for now, and the demand has not been met yet."

  Wang Jinyuan knew that after seeing the report today, his young master was in a very good mood, so he said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, yes, the young master is really wise, the young master knows things like a god..."

  Fang Jifan only spit out one word lightly: "Get lost!"

  Wang Jinyuan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he immediately turned around and left, but after walking for a while, Wang Jinyuan returned with a whoosh: "Young master, young master..."

  Fang Jifan was furious when he saw it. This dog-like thing dared to come back. Could it be that his prestige is not enough?

  Wang Jinyuan's face was livid: "Young master... the villain just touched the door, and the door said, said... Your Majesty is coming..."

   Your Majesty is coming...

  Fang Jifan was exceptionally calm.

   Speaking of His Majesty's coming to Xishan, it's not once or twice, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

  Wang Jinyuan said very anxiously: "Small...Small, let's recruit people to meet you..."

  Fang Jifan immediately rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Get out of the way, let me alone welcome you, within a radius of one mile, not to mention human beings, not a single dog is allowed to appear on the west mountain."

  Wang Jinyuan wiped his sweat under Fang Jifan's stare, and quickly replied: "Understood...Understood..."

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi sent eunuchs to Xishan to pass the decree first when traveling by car, and then the carriage moved slowly. Because they were dressed in modest clothes, they thought they were just dozens of followers on the surface.

   As for how many people are in the dark, only God knows.

   This road went to Xishan, but found that there were almost no people in Xishan.

   Make dozens of subordinates suddenly vigilant.

  What?

   Could there be an ambush?

   Anything abnormal is a demon.

  But at this time, I saw Fang Jifan rushing towards him, panting and out of breath.

  The **** went to the front of the car to report to Emperor Hongzhi in the car.

  Emperor Hongzhi opened the door and got out of the car.

  Emperor Hongzhi was also surprised to see Fang Jifan alone, especially Fang Jifan was out of breath, and Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back.

  Fang Jifan saluted and said: "My son heard that His Majesty's holy driver came here, but he was not able to welcome him from afar. Please forgive me."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around, with surprise in his eyes, he said: "There is no need to be too polite, Jifan, where are the people from Xishan?"

   "Them?" Fang Jifan replied calmly: "Your Majesty...up and down the West Mountain, they are busy at this time... Your Majesty, forgive me, why don't you invite them all to join us?"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Is he an emperor who likes to work hard?

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and then said, "I heard something regrettable."

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It is said that a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. My emperor is a sage, and he manages all kinds of affairs every day. He knows everything in the world, big and small. This is the blessing of the people in the world."

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed, but suddenly his face became slightly solemn: "I heard that Qing and the crown prince built a workshop."

  Fang Jifan suddenly showed surprise: "Ah, Your Majesty even knows this..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "This is a good thing, but the prince is reckless. I am very worried about him, and I am afraid that he will ruin your business."

Fang Jifan shook his head like a rattle drum: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not worth mentioning, so I didn't report it. But since your Majesty asked, then...I should confess frankly. This workshop...produced by the It was the Shiquan Dabulu that Zhang Niangniang ate. His Majesty ordered his ministers to send a batch of Shiquan Dabulu to the palace for use. The ministers discussed with His Royal Highness, and they all said that if they want to give birth, why not produce more , on the one hand to provide for the palace, on the other hand to earn some money, of course, the most important thing is our Ming people, there are many people who are weak, nourishing and nourishing them is not a bad thing."

  Fang Jifan's high-sounding words hardly provoke the slightest thorn.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "The Qing family is caring, do you have enough money? If you are so caring, if you knew it earlier, you should let some money be withdrawn from your internal funds."

  Fang Jifan finally heard the implication.

  Doing business without bringing the emperor is a crime of death.

  Actually, at the beginning, Fang Jifan's business was all involved in the palace.

  The income of domestic funds is almost all from these transactions.

  It's all right now, but this time I didn't bring His Majesty to play, His Majesty is here to ask questions.

   But at this time, Fang Jifan was attracted by a person.

   Standing behind Emperor Hongzhi was a minister accompanying him.

  Fang Jifan didn't recognize this person, but looking at this guy's appearance, he seemed to have a tense smile on his face.

  Well, watching the excitement.

  Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Your Majesty... this business is different from the past, so it cannot be withdrawn from internal funds."

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "Oh? What's the reason?"

Fang Jifan said righteously: "Because the establishment of this workshop was planned by my ministers long ago, the reason why I want to do this business with the prince is to let him know the truth that the family knows the value of money. Your majesty has always hoped that the prince can become a dragon. Why don't you think about it? The prince is a very smart person, he can take charge of his own affairs, he can lead troops, and he can research steam vehicles, which is unmatched by anyone."

"But...His Royal Highness, the future emperor, whether it is leading troops or researching, he uses other people's money to accomplish one thing. Only the business of running a workshop is to earn money. The so-called not being in charge of the family I don’t know how expensive firewood is. Only if the prince knows how to run a workshop, will he know how to run the world in the future. The court and the workshop are actually the same. What a hero to attack the Xiongnu, but... Han Wu used it all for the accumulation of Wen Jing's rule. Does your majesty only want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be Han Wu?"

   These words are very unexpected!

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

  Even the Minister of Attendance behind him changed slightly.

  This person with the surname Fang... really makes sense.

   "Rely on a workshop?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his face grim.

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning. The so-called ordering the family to govern the country and the world means that one must first govern the country and one's family, and the son-in-law's method is to first govern the country and understand how to run a workshop. Because of this, so son-in-law He will never take money out of his own pocket. This business is split between the minister and His Royal Highness the crown prince. He raises the money himself, and his son also pays half. If he does not manage well, he is responsible for his own profit and loss, and he will be responsible for the loss of the capital. .”

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately became interested.

  Fang Jifan's disciples and former officials are all over the world, and peaches and plums are also everywhere.

  This guy's educational methods have always been unique.

  The prince can have what he is today, and it is inseparable from Fang Jifan.

Now that Fang Jifan has thrown out a set of novel theories, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that the profit of millions of taels that year could be let go. Big thoughts, don't I have several million taels of silver?

  But the tempering of the prince is extraordinarily precious!

  Emperor Hongzhi said with great interest: "Really? I want to open my eyes. Jifan, where is the prince now?"

  Fang Jifan did not expect Emperor Hongzhi to be so anxious.

  He coughed and said, "This...this...should be in the workshop."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and immediately said: "Let's go, lead the way. I will also go to the workshop to see how he governs the world. I have something to say first. If you really let the prince know the difficulties of being in charge, I will remember you. Great contribution, but if he Blindly messing around there, this workshop... I'm going to take a stake in it."

  Fang Jifan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

   Damn...why does it seem that the second half of the sentence is the key point?

  Everyone with the surname Zhu in this world has a weird personality.

  …

and also.
