The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1386

[1386. Chapter 1316 The emperor’s heart is unpredictable]

Fang Jifan said, taking out a financial report from his sleeve.

This financial report was calculated personally by Fang Jifan’s sister Fang Xiaofan.

A thick stack.

“This is the approximate amount of income from the internal treasury recently. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty.”

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes widened when he saw it. It turns out that this bitch, Lao Fang, was well prepared. It’s a pity that he kept it from me.

Fang Jifan inadvertently made a face at Zhu Houzhao.

If you don’t become a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Let’s teach both Emperor Hongzhi and the Crown Prince a lesson today.

I, Fang Jifan, likes to be a teacher. If I had told the prince about this valuable flower, I don’t know what crazy things Zhu Houzhao would have done.

Therefore, although Zhu Houzhao was wasting his fortune, he still had some bottom line.

Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious.

He took the report.

This report is clear at a glance, but…

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was ugly, and he couldn’t help but said: “Jifan, how do you know how many stocks, fixed deposits and cash are in my internal funds.”

In the report, there are contents The library’s previous base.

For example, how many stocks are there, how much is each stock worth, and the monthly dividends from the coal industry, iron industry, and construction industry…these amounts are almost exactly the same.

Emperor Hongzhi was horrified to see this.

I am really not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid that thieves will miss me.

You, Fang Jifan, know very well about my little wealth.

This must be the prince, who has the audacity to let people clean out the inner treasury.

Fang Jifan looked depressed: “Your Majesty, you will know this… just ask.”

“Huh?”

Fang Jifan said: “The cabinet and the six ministries, not to mention bachelors, ministers, ministers, just pick up anyone at random, The scribes, they all know it all, and I don’t know why everyone knows it. What Xiaofan said, she said, everyone in the street knows it, even the gatekeeper knows it clearly. “

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

There are no words to describe what a fuck I feel in my heart.

Daqing is what everyone is thinking about.

Do I still have privacy?

No wonder there is a shortage of silver in the treasury. All the officials look calm, calm and relaxed.

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

was silent for a long time.

Take a deep breath.

It’s not easy for you.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and started to look at the report. Sure enough, as Fang Jifan said, 70 million taels of silver were released, and the income of various internal treasury began to grow crazily. Not to mention the monthly dividend income, there were almost An increase of more than 50%, and according to this trend, it may double in the future.

The growth of various stocks held by the inner treasury is also gratifying. Even the least optimistic Siyang Trading Company has actually increased by 30%.

That is to say…

Emperor Hongzhi’s expression changed.

In the long run, if this money is spent, not only will there be no loss, but there is even a possibility of making profit?

This…

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, he couldn’t understand.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it seems to be quite consistent with economic principles.

Seventy million taels of silver were thrown out, and the population of millions increased, demand surged, and all industries prospered. In the past, there were one million people in the market who needed cloth, but in the future, there will be two million people. Even with the additional consumption capacity of the population It’s limited, but we can’t live without food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As a result, merchants discovered that so much silver suddenly appeared on the market, and the pressure of inflation increased. It was extremely unwise to hold cash in hand. Moreover, with the strong demand, the return on investment was also astonishingly high. At this time, driven by the 70 million taels of silver, not just 70 million taels, countless funds were subsequently thrown into the stock market and the expansion of workshops. A large number of disaster victims were recruited, and raw materials began to increase. …

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

Saying that…

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt much more relaxed.

I’m just afraid that by the end of the year, my 90 million taels of silver will be returned to the original owner, and maybe even… the profit will be even higher.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “I have never understood why the prince is so mischievous and the successor is so indulgent. Now that I think about it, it turns out that is the case.”

Zhu Houzhao: “…”

“Your Majesty…” Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfied: “Father, the emperor Why don’t you think in a good direction? In fact, this has always been the result of your ministers’ careful consideration.”

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: “It’s your job to spend money. If you can make money, you will be able to succeed. ? “

There’s nothing wrong with that…

Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved.

But he collected the financial report with a stern face: “This financial report must not be leaked. Don’t let anyone know how much money is in the inner treasury. Do you understand?”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I must be tight-lipped. However, I don’t know whether others will leak it.”

Emperor Hongzhi was in a trance for a moment: “Who are the other people you are talking about?”

Fang Jifan said plausibly: “I dare not make any assumptions. I am a conscientious person. How can I falsely accuse others in front of His Majesty? A real man is alive…”

” That’s enough.” Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand and said, “You are talking about… Xiao Banban…”

“I didn’t say it,” Fang Jifan argued.

Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: “I understand, okay, you can get off the car and follow me back to the palace.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan both breathed a sigh of relief, saluted again, and got off the car.

The imperial chariot was parked in the middle of the road, and Xiao Jing and the officials accompanying it were all talking in low voices.

Xiao Jing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Your Majesty loves money as much as his life, so he managed to save some private money. Now, the prince has spent it all. Your Majesty will definitely be furious. Xiao Jing knows His Majesty’s thoughts very clearly.

Fang Jifan and the prince were so close that they only had to wear one pair of trousers.

According to his guess, Fang Jifan would definitely jump out and take the blame. At this time, Fang Jifan would definitely have to finish the game, and at the very least, he would also have to be beaten.

He stood outside the carriage, with hundreds of officials behind him. They were whispering, and it seemed that everyone had heard about these things.

They feel uncomfortable with His Highness the Crown Prince’s prodigal behavior. Isn’t the money in the inner treasury also our money? The so-called family and world means that the world belongs to the Zhu family. To put it another way, the Zhu family also belongs to the world.

Thinking about it this way, everyone seemed to feel that all their money had been spent by the prince.

It hurts.

“His Majesty used to teach his children mostly with sticks and whips. Now that the prince and the Duke of Qi have offended Nilian, I’m afraid… it’s going to be bad. Don’t you guys, knock on the car door? You can’t let the prince and the Duke of Qi be beaten to death by your majesty. Ah.”

The one who was worried was Xie Zheng, a member of the Ministry of War.

He is an honest man.

It was interesting to see him step forward again.

Several colleagues hurriedly pulled him back: “No, no, if you can’t beat him to death, he will definitely not be beaten to death.”

Xie Zheng frowned deeper.

Colleagues were anxious: “This is family education. How can ministers interfere with the affairs of the heavenly family… It is natural for the king and his ministers to teach their sons. Brother Xie, don’t do this. This is not good.”

Liu Jian and Xie Qian He looked calm and calm, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he heard the whispers behind him.

The prince and Duke of Qi are really amazing. They can actually make people angry and resentful. They are really disgusting, but they have to say that this is their ability.

At this time, the door opened.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan got out of the car intact.

At this moment, Xiao Jing’s jaw almost dropped.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan ignored them. They got on their horses and shouted: “Your Majesty has a decree. Keep going. What are you doing standing still? Hurry up.”

“…”

Only then did everyone react.

Looking at each other.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Many people think in their hearts, if my son and son-in-law ruin my family for a few months, I will definitely beat him to death, for sure. How dare such evil beasts stay?

Maybe… Your Majesty is just triggering it but not doing it?

Yes, His Majesty must be extremely angry. The more this is an understatement, the greater the anger His Majesty has accumulated.

The prince and Duke of Qi are about to die.

People looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan with pity and sympathy.

Thanks to these two guys, they were still jumping around.

I’m afraid that when His Majesty returns to Beijing, they will have something to look at.

So sad for them.

They were born rich, but they didn’t know how to cherish it.

The mighty team moved slowly amid countless people’s speculations.

The next day, the capital was already in sight.

Li Dongyang and others had just come to pick him up with the civil and military ministers who had stayed behind.

Emperor Hongzhi had been sitting in the car all day, staying in seclusion, not knowing what he was thinking, and looking worried. Xiao Jing saw it and knew His Majesty’s temperament and was good at forbearance. He must be thinking about important things.

Could it be that…

Xiao Jing had a terrible thought in his heart, could it be that he wanted to depose the prince…

If he had known this, His Majesty would have beaten the prince severely. Maybe… this anger would be easier to dissipate.

But now, based on Xiao Jing’s understanding of His Majesty, isn’t this silence when he is beaten but not beaten, scolded but not scolded, not the tranquility of the storm?

Xiao Jing felt quite emotional.

I, Xiao Jing, finally have a day when I can feel proud. Usually the prince and Duke Qi look down on me, but now it seems… the emperor and grandson are in line. He has a good temper and is quite friendly when he meets me, and he doesn’t seem to be too fond of the prince. It looks good, maybe…

His mind started to change.

In fact, there are many people with this idea.

Zeng Jie, a minister of the Ministry of Justice who had always had a good relationship with Xiao Jing, pulled Xiao Jing aside. The two were from the same hometown. On the surface, they seemed to have no connection. Zeng Jie had even impeached Xiao Jing, but in fact, they had a very good personal relationship.

Zeng Jie said: “Eunuch Xiao, I thought about it last night and couldn’t sleep all night.”

Xiao Jing looked at him and was happy: “Why is this?”

“Your Majesty was very weird yesterday. I am planning for the world.

Eunuch Xiao

felt a little worried about what His Majesty was thinking at this time.

“What are you thinking about?

“

“Okay.”

Zeng Jie said with shame: “Eunuch Xiao knows your Majesty’s thoughts, what do you think?”

Xiao Jing said

in confusion: “Is that so?” Zeng Jie thought in his mind. Is it… Your Majesty needs an opportunity? I see that the Emperor’s grandson is also here with Duke Li. Your Majesty is very happy and hurriedly asks the Emperor’s grandson to ride with Your Majesty, but… the prince is the Emperor’s grandson’s father. This…”

Xiao Jing said. He looked at Zeng Jie deeply: “The prince is the prince, and the emperor’s grandson is the emperor’s grandson.”
