Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1685 You should get rich

   All of this was obviously done by Fang Jifan on purpose.

   It happened so suddenly that Zhu Houzhao was in a daze.

  Accepting my nephew as a disciple...this...

  It’s all here…

  Fang Tianci performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to admit it with his nose.

  Fang Jifan watched from the sidelines, and was already happy.

  Fang Tianci is Zhu Houzhao's nephew, and he must have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

   But... obviously this is not safe.

   It's not that Fang Jifan thinks that Zhu Houzhao will be mean and ungrateful after he becomes the emperor.

   Rather, the relatives of the emperor and the disciples of the emperor are different concepts.

  The former is the inheritance of blood; while the latter is the inheritance of ideas.

  The former can guarantee Fang Tianci's prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life, which is not wrong.

But the latter can guarantee that Fang Tianci will become the spokesperson of the emperor in the eyes of the world. All his actions are to some extent the result of the emperor's precepts and deeds. The extent is to question the emperor.

   On the surface, there seems to be no similarities and differences between the two, but in fact the difference is quite large.

For example, if you don't like someone, or because someone said something that made you disliked, and you call him an asshole, if this person has a real uncle who is the current emperor, then... if you scold him, you will scold him , Are there any relatives of the Ming Dynasty who are not scolded?

   But if this person is a disciple of the emperor, and you scold him, the meaning changes, because you don’t like him because of his words and deeds. Where do his words and deeds come from? Of course to teach his emperor, then...

  If you call him an asshole, you will inevitably be regarded as referring to Sang Huai and having other ulterior motives.

  Fang Jifan is a very clear-headed person. The bigger the family business, the greater the responsibility, and the more careful he must be.

  In the world, there are many people who are favored by the palace, but such people are too dazzling, and they will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

   To deal with these dissatisfied people, in addition to intimidating them with fear, you also need to be tightly tied to the palace to make yourself invincible forever.

   Zhu Houzhao's face turned red, and he accepted his nephew, and he will have the responsibility of teaching him in the future. This is an inescapable responsibility, but it is actually not a difficult task for Zhu Houzhao.

  The crux of the problem is...Old Fang doesn't play cards according to common sense.

At this time, Fang Jifan even had a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, from today onwards, I will take care of Your Highness. Your Highness is only tall and well educated. With His Highness's teaching, I am at ease. In the future, if the child is disobedient, His Highness will hit him as he should, and scold him as he should, so you don't have to be polite."

  Fang Tianci was terrified and trembling when he heard it. He was a little afraid of this uncle, and he was even more frightened when he heard that he wanted to hit him.

  What do you mean... I was given away by my father?

  Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Stay by Ben Gong's side all day long? Isn't it wrong for such a doll?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head cheerfully, and said seriously; "Let me teach by precept and example, I most hope that my son can become a person like His Highness."

   Having said that, Zhu Houzhao was a little relieved: "Forget it, I don't care, after all, I am my nephew, and this is a matter of course."

  Fang Jifan didn't say anything else, took out a wad of one hundred taels of bills from his sleeve, and stuffed them into Zhu Houzhao's hands, with a smile on his face: "This is a ceremony of confinement, a small meaning, please accept it with a smile."

  Zhu Houzhao glanced at the extra things in his hand, and immediately put them into his arms before counting the treasures.

  Pie in the sky is really falling, there are such good things in the world.

   After a pause, Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan: "I heard that your Fang family is doing something in the exchange?"

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "Action? Your Highness is saying that I bought some stocks?"

   "It's more than just a few!" Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "I heard that there is a lot of money, why, what happened?"

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Your Highness, it's actually nothing serious, but I had a dream, saying that the Fang family wanted to get rich. After thinking about it, there is no better way to get rich than buying stocks in this world. Is it possible, Your Highness?" Also interested?"

  Zhu Houzhao looked hesitant on his face, and pondered: "I have a lot of silver in my hands now, it's really not easy..." When talking about the difficulty, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be thinking about the poverty in the past.

   "Can you really earn money? You tell me the truth, and I don't bother to ask you why. If you say you can earn money, I will invest all the money in it."

   "Yes!" Fang Jifan replied loudly.

  Zhu Houzhao smiled openly: "That's good, then I won't be polite."

  Fang Jifan is very confident about this!

  As for Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan is very confident.

  No one in this world is better at earning money than Lao Fang.

  Fang Jifan said a few words, then hurriedly left.

Fang Tianci looked at his uncle in a daze, and wanted to howl and call his father back, but although he was young and ignorant, Fang Tianci still had a feeling that his father seemed to regard him as Zuo threw it to his uncle like a hot potato!

  He had grievances on his face and tears in his eyes.

  Zhu Hou took a look at him and waved to him: "Come on, I will teach you a truth first."

  Fang Tianci stepped forward tremblingly.

"Teach you the first truth, this truth...is what your father said. After a long time of comprehension as a teacher, I finally found out that this is the most reasonable saying. Since you have followed the teacher to learn, as a teacher, you will never hide your selfishness. You have learned this , then...the knowledge in this world is considered to be half learned. "

  Fang Tianci: "..."

   "Hand out."

  Fang Tianci hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand.

  Zhu Houzhao immediately grabbed his wrist with one hand without sympathy, and slammed down with the other hand.

Snapped!

   A slap on Fang Tianci's palm.

  Fang Tianci was stunned again, his little hands hurt a little, he was hesitating whether to cry or not.

  But seeing Zhu Houzhao with a straight face: "Does it hurt?"

  Fang Tianci thought for a while and nodded.

"Pain is right." Zhu Houzhao said fiercely: "Why do you feel pain? Because you are still a child, and I am your elder, and I am stronger than you. If I hit you, I will hit you. You will be beaten." , feel the pain, but also have to bear it, so...the truth is...you will be beaten if you fall behind. Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, since ancient times, no matter whether it is a family, a country, or a person, after all, they cannot escape the six words. The strong are respected, showing off their power, the weak are humiliated, trembling, and living in a humble way. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, those Hu people recorded in history are as numerous as stars, but...those people...where have they gone now? So far, there are still some of them What about traces? The foundation of my great man’s foothold has never been the so-called propriety, righteousness and shame mentioned in those books, but strength! Strong strength, so he occupies the most fertile land in the world, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Destroy it. The country is like this, so is the person. When you understand this, let me keep in mind that you learn skills not because your father asked you to learn them, but because you learn skills so that you can be a strong man. To become a strong person is not to teach you to bully others, but to let you not have to suffer this humiliation from now on! Well, don’t cry, wipe away your tears, and I will take you to slaughter a cow tomorrow as a teacher, let you know , Where do you usually get your fine clothes and food? In the future, you still need to learn arithmetic, riding and archery, sculpture, art of war, new learning, medicine, and mechanics.

  Fang Tianci: "..."

  ...

  Zhu Houzhao is a very serious person.

  If he is not interested in anything, no one can force him. But once he decided to work hard, he realized his full potential.

  While teaching the child, Zhu Houzhao asked a servant from the Eastern Palace to come and teach him how to take private silver from the Eastern Palace and buy stocks on a large scale.

  This exchange has been a pool of stagnant water recently.

  After all... the market has gradually stabilized, and the ups and downs are no longer possible.

  Because of this, the large-scale capital entering the market, which is visible to the naked eye, immediately caused a storm.

   So many people began to follow the trend blindly.

   This is a reasonable thing. Big money enters the market, and everyone should drink soup together.

  Therefore...the recent exchange has become more lively, many people have come here, and many stocks have begun to rise.

only…

  I thought that there would be a wave of good news after the sudden rise.

  Actually... People found that even so, there didn't seem to be many good things.

Nowadays, it has become a fashionable thing to have money to invest in various commercial firms and workshops. You can profit from it, and those workshops and commercial firms that have obtained a large amount of funds can use the silver to expand their business territory. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. .

   Therefore, ordinary people will buy and sell some, and merchants are also willing to invest money in it.

  Even those officials in the imperial court slowly began to accept this habit.

There are some idle yamen, and they usually have nothing to do, especially after the start of the New Deal, they are even more leisurely. Since they have nothing to do, seeing other people make a fortune makes people jealous, so they naturally like to get together to chat about exchange earnings. up.

  Recently, this matter has been very hot, and many people even came to the Imperial Academy to inquire about Wang Bushi.

  Wang Bushi is extraordinary after all, and now everyone is willing to believe in him, Wang Xueshi will make everyone rich.

  Wang Bushi has naturally paid attention to this wave of changes. With such a huge amount of funds, there are very few people in Beijing who can dispatch this amount except himself.

  Then... Wang Bushi can figure out who is the person behind the scene even with his toes.

  The share price has started to rise.

  People started talking and followed suit.

  It can be seen that there is no good news at all, and there is only thunder but no rain, but it makes people vigilant.

   "Scholar Wang, what do you think about this?"

   The person who spoke was Liu Jing, the Minister of Taichang Temple who went to the Hanlin Academy. Liu Jing also wore big sunglasses and a gold chain around his neck, but the gold chain was a bit thin and not decent.
