The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1284

[1284. Chapter 1222 The most talented man in the Ming Dynasty]

heard the words two million taels of silver.

Wang Bushi felt a chill running down his spine.

He is very optimistic about this Siyang Trading Company.

The demand for sea trade is huge, and the only trading company that can be allowed to operate is the Siyang Trading Company. As long as the Siyang Trading Company is a little more reliable and uses this advantage to open up the situation, the future prospects are unlimited.

But the problem is…Wang Bushi has no money.

He is not a banknote printing workshop at Xishan Bank. He can bring as much cash as he wants.

Although he claims to have tens of millions of taels of silver, most of it is in stocks, mansions and land. These things are difficult to realize in a short period of time. Where did he get the two million taels of silver to buy Siyang Trading Company? stock?

He couldn’t help but tuck Deng Jian’s sleeves.

Deng Jian bowed and said, “Master, do you have any other instructions?”

“I…” Wang Bushi said, “Have you read the accounts of the mansion, right?”

“Yes.” Deng Jian said with a smile: ” Don’t worry, Mr. Wang. The accounts are clear and clear. Mr. Wang has 370,000 taels of silver in hand, but that doesn’t matter.” He winked at Wang Bushi and said, “Mr. Wang is a big customer of Xishan Bank. , As long as you mortgage your stocks, land, and mansion, how much money can you borrow? My dear young master…”

Every time he hears Deng Jian, he will use the word “dear” to distinguish the Fang family from the Wang family. Wang Bushi has a feeling of being a stepmother. I dare you, you surnamed Deng, because you are looking for someone like me, who is not close, to trick you.

“He has given instructions, and the silver can be withdrawn at any time. Mr. Wang, don’t worry. I wanted to repay five million taels just now, but I was afraid of scaring other merchants, so…”

The muscles on Wang Bushi’s face twitched. Come on…

With Wang Bushi opening the door, and with the precedent of railway stocks, the merchants became enthusiastic and subscribed one after another. This person said: “I will take 50,000 shares.”

“I will take 10,000 shares.”

The subscription process is extremely fast.

After an hour, more than 10 million shares were all invested.

Wang Bushi wore sunglasses, got up and left.

………

This time, he had to go see Fang Jifan.

Dozens of carriages stopped at the door of Fang’s house.

This Fang family… is different from the coquettish bitches like Wang Bushi.

The simple gate is not luxurious at all. The Yimen and the stone square in front of the gate all bear some traces of time.

Stepping into it, it is no different from an ordinary mansion. There is neither gilding nor fancy colored glaze, but it is a bit more quiet and elegant.

Fang Jifan was sitting in the hall without wearing sunglasses.

In his two lifetimes, Fang Jifan always believed that people wearing sunglasses were either Brother Ma or a slut with bad brains.

And he is a man who cares about the world, keeps himself clean, regards frugality as a traditional virtue, inherits all the essence of five thousand years of civilization, and removes the dross.

At this time, Liu Jin knelt at Fang Jifan’s feet and listened to the teachings.

“I have raised thirty million taels of silver for you, of which our Fang family also has five million taels. Needless to say, His Majesty’s shares, you can figure it out yourself. This Siyang Trading Company is a strategic You guys from the Security Bureau, to the outside world, you are engaged in maritime trade, but inside, you are to spread the eyes and ears of our great Ming Dynasty. You have to earn money, and you have to find out the news. If you do well, your future will be limitless in the future. But if you do It’s not good for me, even if you give me a discount, don’t let me see you. You won’t be able to explain it to the prince, so he will die outside.”

Liu Jin looked excited and frightened, kowtowing like a fool: “My grandson knows. Now, Sun’er has started to make preparations. One of them is those prisoners of Franji. Now Sun’er is screening them. As long as they can be used by the Strategic Security Bureau, Sun’er will They are all trying to win over them. In addition, Sun’er is thinking about opening a foreign language academy in Xishan to teach foreign languages. In the future, these people can also be used by the Security Bureau. Baoding Mansion does have a group of confidants. These people, the servants will select some smart ones and send them to the West first, so that they can gradually become familiar with the local customs. They will not be used for the time being to observe whether they can gain a foothold in the West. If so, Those who can be used will be collected from others. If they are unusable, they will be forced to fend for themselves. “

In history, Liu Jin was able to become the ‘Emperor’, the leader of the Eight Tigers, and was rampant for a while. If he only relied on fawning over Zhu Houzhao, then it would be impossible.

It’s impossible.

What’s more, he has endured a lot of hardships and suffered a lot in these years. In addition, he is usually very clever. Now, he has been tempered and has become a bit better.

He continued: “As the saying goes, go ahead with food and fodder before the troops are deployed. Godfather, I really have nothing to say to my grandson. With these 30 million taels of silver as a foundation, and with the support of His Highness the Crown Prince and Godfather, if my grandson still does it, If you don’t show some pretense, it will be impossible to support the wall. The grandson still thinks that the Francois he recruited can be won over, but… they can only be used, but they can be completely assured; and the slave’s confidants, although I feel more at ease, but most of them are just people in the market, and they may not be able to use them well when they go overseas. This foreign language academy teaches various languages and recruits many scholars who can read and write, and then supplement them with others. Some riding and shooting skills can sharpen their character. Such people can be assured and capable, and can be used as the backbone. They even thought about their livelihood and grandchildren. They died overseas when they went to sea. There are many crew members and sailors, the orphans of these people… Xishan doesn’t allow them to enter elementary school for free. Why not select a group from them. They have the foundation to study. If they want to do something big in the future, they can enter Foreign Language Academy…”

Fang Jifan was moved after hearing this.

Liu Jin, this grandson, is really whimsical.

Rather than saying it is a foreign language academy, it is a military academy that specializes in training spies.

If you want to do something big, you must first have talents… Now that you have the money, you need talents.

Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: “Okay, this matter… I will explain it, but let’s make it clear first that when these young people enter the academy, their tuition fees are paid by Siyang Trading Company. To the outside world, it is the Xishan Academy that trains students. I will be able to handle the training and knowledge for a group of sea trade talents.”

Liu Jin was overjoyed and seemed to be relieved: “As long as my godfather takes action, my grandson won’t have to worry about it at all. . On the slave side, we must first inspect the confidants and the captives of Franji, and try our best to select a batch of usable ones, and lay the skeleton first.”

Fang Jifan nodded, thinking about this foreign language in his heart .

As for the academy, since it involves overseas, then…it should still be based on the rules of the military. In peacetime, they should practice and practice, let them learn skills such as fighting and spying, and at the same time, learn languages, and even some “roosters and dogs” methods, But…who will be the dean of this academy? “

The current Xishan College has more than ten academies, including the College of Business, the College of Mechanics, the College of Mathematics, the College of Medicine, the College of Engineering, and the Mongolian Colleges in various places, etc. Fang Jifan is the founder of the college, but it has almost all the colleges. Most of each academy is led by its own disciples and disciples.

Now, this foreign language academy cannot be ignored.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, it still needs to be vigilant towards all the countries in the world and must not be complacent. Since he was a member of the Celestial Empire, Fang Jifan looked up arrogantly,

pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking

… He actually had a candidate.

He glanced at Liu Jin and said, “I’m going to treat you later. Go and invite His Highness the Crown Prince. “

Liu Jin responded and went to

work. After a while, someone came to report: “Master, Wang Bushi came to see him, saying that he had something to do…”

Fang Jifan waved his hand: “No, I don’t recognize him, let him go!” “

Comer: “…”

…

Wang Bushi has been waiting outside. Hearing Fang Jifan’s roar that shook the rubble inside, he began to doubt life again.

Deng Jian was considerate and comforted him: “Mr. Wang , Don’t take it to heart, my young master has always been like this. He doesn’t really dislike Mr. Wang, it’s just…his character, his character, hahaha…”

Wang Bushi: “…”

If you think about it carefully, it’s true.

In this Ming Dynasty, anyone who opens his mouth will get away. To be honest, unless this person is the emperor or your father, everyone will feel hot and conscious that he has been insulted.

But… …Facing this Fang Jifan, you really have no temper at all.

Fang Jifan is such a idiot. That’s what he is like.

Wang Bushi sighed, adjusted his sunglasses on his nose, put his hands behind his back, and wrote lightly: “Let’s go .”

. “

If you don’t see me, you will see me. My king is not an official, but I also have a temper.

…

When Zhu Houzhao heard that Fang Jifan invited him to dinner, he came from the Steam Research Institute excitedly and hurried over.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he Terrified.

“What are you doing?

Fang Jifan said: “Have you eaten?

“

How to say it in Sanskrit. “

Zhu Houzhao chirped.

Fang Jifan said again: “What about Uzbek?

Zhu Houzhao naturally babbled again.

Fang Jifan said: “What about Japanese and Tatar languages?

“

Zhu Houzhao felt impatient: “I’ll tell you the idioms, Korean and Portuguese along the way.

“

“

As he spoke, he spoke all the languages in one breath.

What a talent.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with conviction.

This guy is simply a genius. Zhu Houzhao in history was interested in languages since he was a child and could He can speak Western, Huihui, Tatar, Uzbek, Korean and other languages, and even understand Sanskrit. This is no joke, it is a real thing.

As for Portuguese, it was later when Zhu Houzhao came into contact with the prisoners of Franco. I learned it.

Fang Jifan raised his thumb and said, “Your Highness is truly the best person in ancient and modern times. “

“certainly. “Zhu Houzhao said: “You are half as good as me, which is great. ”
