The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1208

[1208. Chapter 1153 Holy Lord]

This is how people are.

The more I hide it, the more I feel there must be something fishy in it.

There are more and more people asking and watching, and it seems that some people want to bite the bullet and give it a try.

In fact, most of the powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were conservative people.

They are good at guarding their wealth, but they don’t want to open it up.

Who wouldn’t like to own a house and land, rent out the land, get stable income, and save money?

But…

this time is different from the past.

If you don’t think about making money, in a few decades, the money in your hands may shrink by an unknown amount, or even become waste paper.

Who else could I be, not in a hurry?

Now… when it comes to earning money, who can succeed as a vassal?

Although this bitch is immoral, everyone still believes in his ability.

In addition, this guy never mentioned anything about raising funds, which makes people even more suspicious.

As for Fang Jifan, he naturally raises funds according to his Buddha nature. If he likes to buy, he will leave.

In these days, many vassal kings came to Beijing, and Xing Wang Zhu Youqi was ordered to entertain them.

When these countless clan members arrived in the capital, they could be said to have no relatives. As for Your Majesty, he was too far away from me. He was the ninth-five-year-old man and was aloof. Although he summoned all the clan members, it was only with a few words of encouragement. , everyone bowed down one after another, saying long live, after that… what else can happen?

However, King Xing, who came here first, is still a relative after all. Therefore, these dozens of princes, nearly a thousand princes, and countless generals who assist the country and generals who control the country are indispensable… King Xing Zhu Youqi came forward and everyone joined in. Being together feels a bit like meeting relatives in a foreign land.

Dozens of princes gathered together and took their seats. At that moment, Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi began to curse: “I was waiting for everything to be in my domain, but unexpectedly there was a traitor in the court, so I stopped hiding it. That bitch named Fang is not a human being. In the 130th year of the Ming Dynasty, it was a national policy for the vassal king to establish a vassal state. Why are you ordering us to enter the capital now? My ancestors have been in Jingjiang for several generations and have been generals for many generations. Jingjiang, I regard it as my hometown. People who leave their hometown

are humble. Alas…” This King of Jingjiang is considered a distant relative. His ancestor is the great-nephew of Taizu Emperor Gao. However, he has a bad temper. Obviously, he came to Beijing all the way out of anger. broken.

The kings in the vassal territory were all local emperors with very bad tempers. When they heard Zhu Yueqi’s words, they suddenly exploded. They all rolled up their sleeves and wanted to hit someone.

There are also some who are less courageous: “Be careful what you say, be careful what you say, but now, I am a swordsman and I am a fish and meat. If someone listens to it…”

“What are you afraid of… We are the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, come on, If you have the ability, just drive us all away.”

Someone looked at Zhu Youqi and said, “His Royal Highness, you are His Majesty’s brother and the first to come to Beijing. What do you have to say?”

Zhu Youqi’s face turned red.

Zhu Youzhao is really an ordinary person. Ordinary people cannot be more ordinary. He hesitated for a long time before saying: “Do you… buy a house?”

The kings: “…”

Zhu Youzhao was busy wiping the sweat on his forehead: “I know this The place has good feng shui, the location is good, and it is close to the palace. Everyone has come to the capital. The whole family has to settle down. Do you want to live in Honglu Temple all the time? If you don’t buy it, you will suffer a big loss? . Nowadays, houses in Beijing are getting better and better every day.”

“…”

“There are discounts and preferential ones. The interest rates at Xishan Bank are low, and you can borrow money for a hundred years…”

“…”

All the kings suddenly started talking. Jaw-dropping.

Zhu Youqi is anxious.

After handing over the house, he was very satisfied with everything. Fang Jifan did not fool himself. Not only was the location good, but the house he built was also beautifully decorated, just like being in a fairyland. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, so there was nothing he was dissatisfied with.

But the problem was that he found that the place was empty and undeveloped on all sides. It was a barren land.

The price of land there is so high that ordinary people can’t afford it, so they are discouraged. Besides, who dares to be a neighbor to the prince? If he accidentally offends him, God knows whether it will cause disaster.

If the place cannot be sold again, based on the limited economics Zhu Youqi has learned in the capital, his mansion may plummet.

The plummet… it’s terrible.

With this drop, the loss may be millions of taels of silver, which even a prince would not be able to bear.

“In a few days, I will host a banquet at my residence, and everyone will come.” Zhu Youqian’s face turned red, and it was obvious that he was still not used to it.

Why did the dignified prince become a broker?

Kings: “…”

…

Fang Jifan has been very leisurely these days. Unexpectedly, vassal princes have begun to come to Xishan Jianye to inquire about the price of the mansion.

This is a good sign. The clan members are indeed human beings and need houses to live in.

These guys are extremely rich. They have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years. God knows how much wealth they have hidden away.

But Fang Jifan’s thoughts were not on this. The problem was that the children in the nursery were running to the capital camp every three days.

In fact… this is natural. As a young man, he is already interested in fighting and killing.

This time I was testing my edge, my thoughts became even more intense.

But Fang Jifan suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan took a look and saw that His Majesty had a livid face and pointed at a memorial: “Read it yourself.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan nodded, took the memorial sent by Xiao Jing, and opened it. , this memorial was actually written by Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and it was about the emperor’s grandson entering and leaving the capital camp. Ma Wensheng was very worried about this. On the one hand, he thought that the emperor’s grandson was not doing his job properly, and on the other hand, he felt that… it was an eyesore. .

Emperor Hongzhi said: “My grandson was entrusted to your care. He is better now. He is wild-minded. Do you know what I am worried about?”

Fang Jifan thought for a while: “Your Majesty is worried about your grandson. “

Becoming the second prince?”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face twitched, and finally he sighed: “That’s not necessarily the case, but…many people have opinions about this and think it is inappropriate. Fang Jifan, I have all my hopes. If my grandson, even him, doesn’t look like a human being, I…”

Fang Jifan nodded.

He can understand the feelings of Emperor Hongzhi. After all, he is also a man with a son. What he hates most is that no matter how Fang Zhengqing looks at him, he looks like a bastard and is a disgrace to the family. We, the Fang family, are all decent people.

Of course, Your Majesty also has his worries…

The emperor’s grandson is the future emperor. This emperor… will eventually conquer the world, and cannot only conquer the world by horseback. Conquering the world is a matter for Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wen.

Fang Jifan said seriously: “Your Majesty, the emperor’s grandson is still young. If he is interested in something, you might as well let him do it. As for other people’s gossip, why should your Majesty pay attention to it?”

Emperor Hongzhi still looked worried: “Really? ? At the beginning, you also said that if the prince was interested in anything, let him do it, but as a result, he is knitting sweaters all day long! “

Fang Jifan: “…”

This is a bit unfair.

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have done a lot of things.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face softened slightly: “Of course, I don’t mean to blame you. Maybe… I am too concerned. The so-called caring leads to chaos. This is the truth. Right. You have taught my grandson a lot of knowledge, and I know it in my heart.”

As he said that, he smiled and said, “I am getting older. The country of the Ming Dynasty is really too big, with countless subjects. Many people need to rely on the Saint King. Although I want to be the Saint King, but… after all, I am not smart enough…”

“No, no, no.” Fang Jifan said immediately: “Your Majesty’s talent and wisdom…”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand. There is a sense of a hero in his twilight years: “Listen to me, I know many things better than you. I am indeed not a smart person. Therefore, in this life, I have barely managed to survive, and finally I have not brought shame to my ancestors. But… after this inspection, I have something in my heart. How many people hope to live and work in peace and contentment, but how many people in this world are living without clothes and food? Baoding Mansion is letting the people live. Good times have come, but how many Baoding Prefectures and Datongs are no longer in danger, but what about the future? “

“I am worried not only about my grandchildren, but also about thousands of my subjects, the country and the country. .” He glared at Fang Jifan: “You see me accumulating money all the time, why do you think it is? In my life, my daily life is quite simple, and I have never been extravagant. All the money I have accumulated is all this. It can be left to future generations… it can be used to save lives when the country is in crisis.”

At this point, Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: “I am a very thoughtful person, but to be honest, I just can’t let it go. I can’t let it go.”

Fang Jifan nodded. Some people are born to work hard. They obviously don’t have to worry about food and clothing, but they live like a dog. Yes, Fang Jifan is such a person. Because of this, Fang Jifan particularly empathized with Emperor Hongzhi’s words.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “My son is actually not bad, but… his interests are a bit strange. I don’t blame him. He has done better than most people. But for my grandson, I have given him more Great expectations, this is not just my expectation for him. Which of the subjects in this world does not have great expectations, hoping to meet a Holy Lord so that he can live a peaceful life?”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty is smart ?

Smart, my son said politely, he taught him in accordance with his aptitude, and he has already made some achievements in his studies. In the future, he will definitely be more powerful than any king, and none of the holy masters in the past dynasties can be as good as him. “

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but laugh: “You… you won’t change your bragging habit.”

Fang Jifan said: “My son is actually being humble. If it were bragging, that would not be the case.”

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan. , he was silent. According to his understanding of the other party’s successor, it seemed that… this sentence did still fall into the category of modesty.

But at this moment, a young eunuch hurriedly came in: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty… Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”

…

and more.
