The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1377

[1377. Chapter 1307 Thank you for your grace]

The patrol officers began to set off from Beijing.

Carrying their luggage, they inevitably cried a lot along the way.

At this time, Liu Wenshan and three others had also boarded a merchant ship heading to the West.

They will sail across the Western Sea, then look for a few Franconian merchant ships, recruit a group of reliable manpower to disguise themselves as Franconian caravans, and go to Franconian.

Along with several large ships, there were warehouses full of tulip bulbs.

Subsequent tulip bulbs will also be sent one after another.

Fang Jifan had already discussed the plan with Liu Wenshan.

How to understand and what the details are, Fang Jifan has nothing to say.

All of this can only rely on Liu Wenshan himself.

Because this is thousands of miles away, there may be no news for a year and a half.

What is the current situation of Franco, what they will face, and Franco’s reaction are all unpredictable.

Therefore, Liu Wenshan must be able to adapt to changes and act according to the situation.

The Jingfu has been set up.

A large number of people were recruited from Xishan.

The biggest advantage of having disciples and grandchildren is that Fang Jifan can recruit his disciples and grandchildren to practice in Jingfu at any time.

Interns are still very useful, cheap and capable.

Fang Jifan rested for more than a month. Zhu Houzhao came to visit several times. He tilted his head and saw scabs on the back of Fang Jifan’s hands. The scabs fell off again, and new skin grew out. In the end, even the scar disappeared. , with his current medical knowledge, he could not understand that Fang Jifan could still lie on the couch, moaning and groaning, having people bring him tea and water, and having his feet and back rubbed.

Internal injuries are always difficult to see easily.

Finally, when an impatient order came from the palace, Fang Jifan’s work injury was finally over.

Xiao Jing came in person and led Fang Jifan into the palace to meet Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the case and frowned deeply: “Jifan, how is your condition?”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, my son has recovered seven to eight points.”

Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look: “I I almost wanted to ask Dr. Liang to inquire about the condition. This disease will be cured. In a blink of an eye, spring is coming again. Why, there is no movement in your Jing Mansion

? Many talents.” Fang Jifan explained hurriedly.

“Really?” Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “But…how come there is no movement in the stock market.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Fang Jifan said patiently: “Your Majesty, the stocks that should have gone up have all gone up, but before that Previously, all the profits were released, so that these days, growth has been a bit weak. This is understandable. In addition, more and more commercial banks are listed now, which gives many people a choice. , This stock market is always going up and down, how can it be expected to rise sharply every year?”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “I understand this too.”

After that, he sighed: “Is it possible that there will be room for it in recent days? ?”

Fang Jifan said: “According to the current market situation, it is actually pretty good. There are many things waiting to be done, including mining, logging, workshops, bridge construction, road paving, and the upcoming Gyeonggi Railway construction plan. If you want to come, I should return it. There is room for growth, but it is impossible to make a big rise.”

Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was reasonable, but he did not criticize Fang Jifan harshly. After all… he himself also knew the principles behind the stock market. His only regret was that the previous rise was It was so crazy that Emperor Hongzhi was used to the feeling of doubling his assets, but now it suddenly calmed down, which made him a little disappointed.

“The Jingfu must come up with some practical methods.” Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “Now, many people think that the power of the Jingfu is too great.”

Fang Jifan said in surprise: “Well, my lord. If I quit, my father will hire someone else. I don’t want to go through any Jingfu…”

Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to ‘stimulate’ his successor.

Unexpectedly…

it had the opposite effect.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: “Okay, okay, don’t say angry words. What does this look like? You are my son-in-law, will I not protect you? Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the future, I will settle the account with him!”

“But… you will understand what I mean when you think about it.”

Fang Jifan said: “Actually, I have already made arrangements.”

“Oh?” Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes lit up: “Let me hear it.”

“Your Majesty remembers me.

“Have you

ever written a memorial? In the memorial, I begged your majesty to send Liu Wenshan to Jing Mansion.

” , is to boost the profits of the entire Siyang Trading Company. Erchen has worked hard for this plan.”

“Go to Franconian? Go to Franconian to sell silk and tea?” This… is a practical way.

Siyang Trading Company needs to find a new profit point. Although Ming Dynasty and Franji have completely turned against each other now, there is money, why not make money?

Fang Jifan smiled: “No, my son… I’m selling flowers.”

“Selling flowers…”

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

Fang Jifan magically took out a bouquet of flowers from his sleeve: “Your Majesty, please take a look, are these flowers beautiful?”

“Are you selling this?” Emperor Hongzhi trembled.

He felt that his intelligence was insulted.

It’s so far away. This merchant ship sailed for thousands of miles, and the supplies along the way were astonishing. Even if it was selling silk and porcelain, although there were huge profits, the losses along the way were still astonishing. But you, Fang Jifan…

looked at Fang Jifan’s “treasure offering” with great pleasure. , Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was necessary for Fang Jifan to also study in the psychiatry department of Xishan Medical College.

I heard that Mao Ji entered the psychiatry department and was very popular. Dozens of psychiatrists walked around him every day. Not only that, he even had papers published in the journals, medicine and medicine. Doctors called his illness Maoji-style insanity.

Fang Jifan said: “Yes, I just sell this. It’s necessary. It’s a good thing. It can be used for anything except inedible. Your Majesty, look at the flowers. They are really beautiful. They are unparalleled in elegance. Compared with peonies, they are also very beautiful.” No need to give in too much…”

Xiao Jing stood aside and listened patiently. He felt that Emperor Hongzhi’s face dropped, and he knew what His Majesty was thinking, so he said: “Qi Guogong, what is there to sell about this flower? “

“What do you know?” Fang Jifan was even more fierce than him.

Xiao Jing was so scared that he kept silent.

Fang Jifan said: “Everything in the world has its value, Your Majesty, my son…”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and pressed his hands: “Okay, okay, I don’t know much about this flower. But…I don’t Interfering with your affairs.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “My son has recovered now. I heard that the Queen had prayed for me in Kunning Palace. I was very grateful, so this flower was given to the Queen. Your Majesty, can you allow me to retire? I will go to see my empress.”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, “Go.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked very strange.

Fang Jifan felt like he was being pardoned, and happily left.

As soon as Fang Jifan left, Emperor Hongzhi tapped his fingers on the document.

This is the first time I heard that people sell flowers for profit.

Of course, selling flowers is not impossible to make a profit.

But the problem is, if you sell some flowers from Tongzhou to the capital, you may still be able to make a profit. If you drive a boat and narrowly escape death, you can go thousands of miles away to Franji. Can you get your money back?

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Jing now began to slowly understand His Majesty’s appetite. He said with a smile: “I thought that Siyang Trading Company was going to be ruined. Originally, the stock price of Siyang Trading Company was not good, and it was profitable. If any bad news breaks out again, I will be very worried. There are many shares of Siyang Trading Company in the internal funds. Otherwise, just sell them.”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered.

When Siyang Trading Company went public, the palace bought a lot.

Nowadays, this Siyang Trading Company is indeed not doing well.

And…

selling flowers… no matter how it sounds, it doesn’t sound reliable.

After all, Fang Jifan has read The Wealth of Nations and now pays attention to finance every day.

He speaks terms that are both bullish and bearish.

Xiao Jing’s words can be said to have touched the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

But…

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: “No.”

He knocked on the document fiercely: “Don’t sell it, keep it.”

“Your Majesty…”

“Shut up.” Emperor Hongzhi said: “I can’t say, he really sold it. “Where are the flowers? Don’t think that just because you read a few books and learned some simple principles from others, you are far behind Fang Jifan.”

Xiao Jing looked aggrieved and did not dare to say anything anymore .

.

…………

Fang Jifan arrived at Kunning Palace happily. After the announcement, he entered the main hall.

Then I saw Queen Zhang and Liang Ruying playing chess.

Empress Zhang withdrew her eyes from the chess game and glanced at Fang Jifan: “Jifan, your illness has recovered. How can you be so reckless? Others are charging into the battle, but you are also charging into the battle? Don’t forget your identity.”

Fang Jifan said: “Since ancient times, a gentleman has both loyalty and filial piety. His sons and ministers will not hesitate to go through fire and water for His Majesty. Not to mention injury or death, they are also generous and calm.”

Empress Zhang liked honest young people like Fang Jifan.

She couldn’t help but said: “You, come and sit down, Ms. Liang, feel Jifan’s pulse and see how his pulse is.”

Liang Ruying responded, stepped forward, touched Fang Jifan’s eyes, and couldn’t help but blush slightly. , checked Fang Jifan’s pulse, and saw that Fang Jifan’s pulse was stable, and then checked the wound on the back of his hand, and then said: “My dear, the Duke of Qi has recovered as before.”

Empress Zhang felt relieved: “It’s rare for Jifan to come and see you. “My Lord.”

Fang Jifan said, “I’m here to express my gratitude. I’ve been worrying about you these days, so I’ve prepared a gift.”

“Oh?” Queen Zhang couldn’t help but ask, “You brought a gift?”

Fang Jifan then winked at the eunuch, who understood and hurried out.
