The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1142

[1142.Chapter 1091 A million profits]

. The wealth occupied by the clans is almost countless.

Fang Jifan’s words made Emperor Hongzhi wonder if this guy had taken the wrong medicine recently to be so bold.

You know, even Emperor Wen didn’t dare to touch the clan’s issues lightly.

Even if you want to cut the feudal clan, you don’t dare to use too much force.

But at some point, Emperor Hongzhi discovered that Fang Jifan was actually quite a thief.

If it really works…

it will really benefit the country and the people.

There were quite a few of those clans, but they were no less poor than the emperor.

Of course, I am talking about Emperor Hongzhi a few years ago. Now, Emperor Hongzhi’s wallet has increased more than ten times.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “You must not mention this matter again.”

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise.

Emperor Hongzhi patted the imperial case gently with his hand and said thoughtfully: “You are my son-in-law. This matter is of great importance. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement. If it fails, who can protect you? You have to figure it out slowly.” Don’t be too hasty in everything.”

Fang

Jifan said awkwardly, “Yes.”

Emperor Hongzhi said thoughtfully, “When it comes time to mention it, you have so many disciples and disciples, you can let them do it…”

Fang Jifan was confused. Your Majesty is very sinister. Where did you learn this?

My disciples, disciples, and grandchildren are also living lives, okay? Why should they come to lie down? Any person with a conscience…will hesitate for three seconds in the face of this big right and wrong.

But Fang Jifan also knew that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to protect himself.

Fang Jifan was silent for three seconds: “I understand.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “It’s just not the time yet, but… I have a brother in Anlu, who has been granted the title of King Xing. After a few days, I will find a name for him. Come to the capital.”

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi said: “This time, I am really tired, so you should also leave.”

Fang Jifan resigned and left, still beating his heart. Today’s steps seem to be a bit too big. That charter… is indeed a bit ‘excessive’. Now that I think about it carefully, it’s so good to be alive. Fang Jifan braved the bright sunshine and the spring breeze, and secretly warned himself that he must never do it in the future. Everything has been done too hastily. We, the successor of the vassal, cannot die. If I die, what should the people of the world do? For them, I want to live well.

Returning to Xishan, Fang Jifan looked tired. Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling did not leave, but were waiting happily. When he saw Fang Jifan coming, Zhang Heling stepped forward and said, “Wonderful nephew…”

Fang Jifan looked at them with a smile and hit him. Haha: “Today, you are going to treat us.”

Zhang Yanling seemed to be about to explode: “Why?”

Zhang Heling smiled: “Okay, okay, my virtuous nephew and son-in-law have already spoken. If there is anything else to say, come to my house to drink porridge. It’s just that

…Your Majesty’s place…”

Fang Jifan sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at the pair of brothers: “That’s it, your Majesty will issue a decree soon, and the palace will get 30% of the silver vein, and the treasury will get 30%. The Zhang family will get 30% and another 10% to raise private funds for excavation.”

Zhang Heling was stunned.

Thirty percent…

It is extremely difficult to discover this silver vein. After all, it requires a large number of ships and a lot of manpower. This requires the use of the power of the imperial court. Therefore… even if Zhang Heling wants to monopolize it, he still has to discover it. No.

Thirty percent… is enough to make the Zhang family rich forever, and they can buy a house at will.

With a pop, Zhang Heling knelt down.

Zhang Yanling looked around and felt a little reluctant, Brother, this is our biggest enemy.

But when he saw his brother kneeling down, he had no idea, so he knelt down too.

Zhang Heling said: “Xian nephew, I don’t know the rules very well, and I offend you a lot on weekdays, but in my heart, I admire you very much. Today… I’m treating you to some white porridge, no, I still have several hundred kilograms left in my house. Bacon, don’t eat it completely, drink bacon porridge, this is ancestral bacon, passed down from my father…”

Fang Jifan suddenly lost interest.

He would rather die than accept the hospitality of the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Yanling licked his mouth, as if he was looking forward to the bacon.

Fang Jifan shook his head and said: “As a family, if you say this, it will make you more famous. Oh, let me show you another way to make money. Buy the house quickly.”

Zhang Heling’s eyes lit up: “Why, can it still rise?”

Fang Jifan will Zhang Heling He helped him up and said with a smile: “The general trend in the future will definitely increase, especially the houses along Tianjin Road and Tongzhou Road. In the future, I will release a thousand acres…”

“Buy, buy, buy now. “It’s such a blessing to have a nephew and son-in-law who knows the inside information: “You can buy it even if you sell it.”

Fang Jifan laughed again: “After buying it, just wait and see. This Tianjin Road and Tongzhou Road are just a short distance from the Imperial City. Recently, the value is the highest. I have reserved a lot of land and I am reluctant to sell it. Two uncles, you can mortgage as much as you can. You are the uncles of the country and you have a title, so the mortgage is preferential.”

“How much can it be increased? “Zhang Heling couldn’t help but ask.

“More than double!” Fang Jifan said calmly: “Is this enough?”

Zhang Heling was about to faint, because of these words, he really wanted to sell the iron. He came back from the sea this time with millions of taels. Silver, if you can make a down payment of these millions of taels of silver, add a little leverage, and buy a few hundred units, it’s no problem. Isn’t this for no reason? You can earn several times the silver.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “If…haha, what I mean is that if the clan can be allowed to be stationed in Beijing, it will not only be doubled, but it will be huge profits. The real estate in this area will be three or four times. It’s not impossible.”

“What?” Zhang Heling has shut down and his mind has entered a state of suspended animation.

Fang Jifan then said: “Oh, there’s something else. Uncles, please help yourself. I’ll go home and accompany Xiurong. We’ll see you later.”

As Fang Jifan said that, he ran away…

“Brother…” Zhang Yanling cautiously approached Zhang Heling: “I think… Fang Jifan is taking advantage of us.”

Zhang Heling slapped him with a backhand, bang…

Zhang Yanling was about to cry in grievance, covering her cheeks, and said more resentfully : “Brother…”

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth: “Raise all the money and prepare to buy a house, whether it is first-hand or second-hand, as long as it is Tongzhou Road, Tianjin Road, even Baoding Road, as much as you can get!”

…

Fang Jifan was happy returned to the nursery.

These children, each carrying a maza, sat around dozens of old soldiers.

Zhu Houzhao was watching from a distance. When Fang Jifan arrived, Fang Jifan stood beside Zhu Houzhao with his hands behind his back: “His Royal Highness did not go to the research institute today.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “There is a difficulty. I am thinking of a solution. I want to come and see you. Listen. What did the emperor say when he called you to the palace? Did he mention this palace?”

Fang Jifan said seriously: “Your Majesty did not mention your highness, but Wei Chen did.”

“Yeah,” Zhu Houzhao was a little nervous. “What did you say?”

Fang Jifan said: “As a humble minister, it is natural to say that His Highness the Crown Prince is a wise prince with both civil and military skills. If he can succeed to the throne in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor. After hearing this, Your Majesty, I deeply agree and feel very much.”

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the sky and said, “It makes sense. If I were to be the emperor, if I was willing to work hard, I would be better than my father.”

Fang Jifan raised his thumb and said, “Your Highness is too humble. Your Highness .”

With just a few clicks, you can compare to the sages of the past dynasties. Can any emperor in the past dynasties know how to knit sweaters? No!”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly grabbed Fang Jifan’s neck and shook him desperately: “Why do you think you are mocking me again… “

Fang Jifan felt like he couldn’t breathe. Zhu Houzhao was so strong that his head didn’t seem to belong to him. Fang Jifan managed to say: “I’m not that kind of person, cough…”

Many children looked over here .

.

Zhu Houzhao quickly put down his hand and smiled at them.

Fang Jifan gasped for air.

On the other side…

Zhu Zaimo, Fang Zhengqing, and a group of children were all thoughtful.

The old soldier they surrounded was just an ordinary guard sergeant who had been guarding Jinzhou City for decades.

He was already very old, with a somewhat hunched back, and the complexion on his face was like the bark of an elm tree. No one expected that such an old soldier would be specially invited to teach the children’s martial arts classes.

He is mainly responsible for the children’s life in the military.

Of course… what these half-grown children are most interested in is listening to the old soldier telling stories while riding and shooting.

The old pawn replaced his father as a military pawn since the reign of Emperor Xuanzong.

The stories he told were all trivial.

How to drill in Jinzhou Guards, and whether there are any disputes in the army. Or…catching rabbits in the snow. The most difficult thing for a military household is to find a wife. It was not easy to get married and have children, and how hard it was to be on duty in the camp…

He liked to talk about many things over and over again.

Especially when he talks about his children and grandchildren, his cloudy eyes will shine.

The children seemed to feel that… they suddenly saw a novel world. Zhu Zaimo listened very seriously, and Fang Zhengqing seemed to be full of curiosity.

…

Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but said: “Old Fang, why are you looking for such an old soldier? He is a bit old and confused. If you want to teach them how to ride, shoot and march, shouldn’t you find some veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time? ? I am not bragging, asking me to teach them, they are ten times and a hundred times better than this old soldier.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Highness is wrong, in my heart, this old soldier is more experienced than anyone in the battlefield. The general has much more to teach the children. This old pawn is the best teacher in the world. Even though I am so good, I am only a little better than him.”

Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but bared his teeth. : “What nonsense, Old Fang, you are mentally ill again.”

Fang Jifan smiled and said nothing, looking at a group of energetic children, his eyes… glowed.

He really loves these children, and treats each of them as his own son. Well… it’s true this time.
