The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1421

[1421. Chapter 1350 The land of the four seas is exhausted.]

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his mind was beginning to turn around.

He stared at Fang Jifan: “Then, the princes of France must do their best to increase the price of these tulips. Otherwise, it will be doomed.”

Liu Jian also looked at Fang Jifan and began to become interested .

.

Everyone was listening in awe just now, but although many people had questions, they were inconvenient to ask. Liu Jian was different. He coughed and said, “Don’t these princes be detrimental to Liu Wenshan?”

“The disadvantage is There must be some, but Franco is in disarray, so Liu Wenshan chose the Northern Province, which has a strong commercial atmosphere. Although the Spaniards ruled there, they could not completely control it. This is why Liu Wenshan chose the Northern Province. Reason. What’s more, Liu Wenshan secretly used a large number of people to trade, and it will take some time for them to trace it. Not to mention, if they take people in a big way, it will cause huge panic. Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, think about it. Look, if the person who owns tulip bulbs wants to sell it, but someone else takes it away, the news cannot be suppressed. Once it gets out, the price of tulip bulbs will plummet even more. There is no chance of rescue. “

“Many princes will definitely unite and start buying tulips like crazy. They will definitely raise the price of tulips. But on this side, the princes have spent all their savings and money from the treasury. While funds were being purchased like crazy, Liu Wenshan and others were frantically exchanging these worthless tulips for countless gold and silver coins. Countless gold and silver fell into the hands of Liu Wenshan and others as if falling from the sky. In their pockets… until the treasury of each country was exhausted, or even their credit went bankrupt. In the end… instead of lifting the tulip, they plummeted and lost everything.”

Emperor Hongzhi listened carefully. At this time, his eyes suddenly opened. Taking one picture, he couldn’t help but say: “Liu Wenshan is really as talented as Su Qin and Zhang Yi.”

Yes, aren’t these Su Qin and Zhang Yi from Lianzong?

Relying on his own power, he stayed behind the scenes, guessed the thoughts of the Franconian countries, and operated secretly…

“In this way, the Franconian countries…”

“They have been sucked dry.” Fang Jifan gave the answer with certainty. , although no accurate news was received, but since Liu Wenshan and others returned safely and brought so much gold and silver, this means that the plan has been successful.

Fang Jifan said firmly: “If you don’t sell the tulips, once you sell them, they will not stop until they are squeezed dry and squeezed out. They will definitely not end. Even if Liu Wenshan wants to end it, Franji Ren They will never be willing to end. It will only end when their last copper is exhausted. This is the human heart. People’s greed is magnified countless times. When they continue to double their value with the help of tulip assets, they can no longer bear it. His assets have shrunk, this is like a big gamble, and he will never give up until the end.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn’t help but take a breath, feeling that such an inconspicuous person was so strange. Hua’er actually directly caused the destruction of countless people’s homes, and countless people’s savings were wiped out overnight.

This tulip is even more terrifying than an army.

The results achieved are even more terrifying.

Fang Jifan added: “Your Majesty, actually… my son…”

“You continue.” This is another new door, and Emperor Hongzhi is very interested in it.

“I have three reasons for doing this. One is to avenge the Spaniards who invaded our Ming Dynasty and Xinjin. This is a national hatred. It is unbearable for a mere Spanish to invade the door and step in and offend the great power of the Ming Dynasty. , This is unbearable. Secondly, His Majesty ordered me to open a palace and build a tooth. The palace must be effective and it is a last resort.”

“And thirdly, it is because my body is full of morality. Blood.”

“…”

Many people in Fengtian Palace were worried.

Hearing Fang Jifan’s words of moral blood, he was immediately stunned.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others all thought that Fang was really like a dog.

Fang Jifan said plausibly: “In the Ming Dynasty, we governed the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the emperor and his ministers also learned from history. But now, the New Deal has been launched, and the prices of assets have fluctuated. In the future, is there no risk of such a bubble? Tulips are the least valuable thing, but they can be artificially inflated. The harm can even lead to the death of countless families. From an economic point of view, bubbles actually have their benefits, as they can allow a large amount of funds to be allocated to this field. , speed up production, and make one emerging industry grow crazily.”

“But once this bubble appears on useless things like tulips, the harm will be obvious. Therefore, this is what I want to do. To set an example and let everyone in the world know what happened in Franconia, when Liu Wenshan returned to the capital, his ministers ordered him to write a book about tulips, describing in detail the causes, development, and results of tulips. , Only in this way can future generations remember that the so-called teacher who never forgets the past uses history as a mirror and the past as a warning. For the Franco people, why is it not good for them to not eat this today? They will suffer losses in the future. If they don’t teach them a lesson, their fall will be even worse. The son-in-law ordered Liu Wenshan, Liu Jin, and Franconian Wang Xizuoren to go all the way to Francoi. With this feeling of compassion for heaven and earth, I want people all over the world to know how powerful he is, that’s all.”

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

Liu Jian coughed, slightly embarrassed.

Xie Qian’s temper was different, but fortunately he held it back this time.

Li Dongyang smiled, well, he is used to it.

Zhang Sheng, Ma Wensheng and others were still twisting their minds in the moral maze hidden in Fang Jifan’s words.

Only Ouyang Zhi showed admiration as always.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said: “Jifan is right. A teacher who never forgets his past should take this as a warning, and the Liu Qing family should revise their books. This time, Jifan… did a good job. And Liu Qing’s family and others traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to get to Franji, and they escaped death. It can be said that their hard work is a great achievement, and this is a great achievement.”

After setting the tone, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt relieved, but he didn’t know that they brought him with him. How much gold and silver came back.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, “I think there will be a report from the Shipping Department in a few days.”

I don’t know how many days it will take.

Of course, only God knows how much he brought back.

But…

Sure enough, at this moment, a eunuch hurriedly entered the palace: “Your Highness, Your Highness… The stock exchange is crazy. The stock price of Siyang Trading Company has increased sharply. The price of Siyang Trading Company has tripled more than an hour ago. Value.”

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth as big as an egg.

What?

This report has just been delivered to me. More than an hour ago, before the news spread, Siyang Trading Company rose.

How could these merchants react so quickly?

The share value of Siyang Trading Company has always been tepid. Many businessmen do not hold much of it, and most of them are held sporadically by some people in the market.

Most of the stocks are in Gongzhong and Xishan.

Of course, there are also some big crocodiles, such as Wang Bushi, who hold a lot.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to reduce his holdings in Siyang Trading Company several times. After all, there had been no movement in Siyang Trading Company for two years. It was entirely out of the trust of the other successor that he placed Siyang Trading Company in his hands. Now…

in the blink of an eye, it has tripled.

And… the news should have spread in the capital by now.

Next…

As Emperor Hongzhi’s thoughts flowed, his face was already flushed, and he wished he could write on his face that I have many foreign trading companies in my hands.

He couldn’t help but say: “Liu Qing’s family and others, this is an unparalleled achievement. Anyone who comes will quickly tell Liu Qing’s family and others to come to see you.”

How dare Xiao Jing be negligent.

Just now, His Majesty said it was due to hard work, but now it is an unparalleled achievement.

It’s not bad, this Liu Wenshan…and Liu Jin…

When he thinks of Liu Jin, Xiao Jing can’t help but feel sour in his heart.

Back then, Liu Jin was nothing, and he wouldn’t even look at it.

But look at this person now…

Xiao Jing put his sour thoughts away and said with a smile: “I will go and invite you in person now.”

After saying that, he left in a flash.

Emperor Hongzhi was naturally a little excited. He tried hard to calm down, took a deep breath, and then said: “I brought back so much gold and silver from Siyang Trading Company. What does the Jingfu have about this gold and silver?” What do you think?”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, with these gold and silver, I will deposit them in Xishan Bank as a reserve. From now on, I’m afraid there will be more silver notes on the market. If they are all circulated in the market, I’m afraid it will cause trouble. With the fierce inflation in the market, what Erchen means is that on the one hand, he can use this principal to increase investment, and on the other hand, these banknotes need to be circulated to various countries. In this way, the pressure within the customs can be reduced. Pressure. The son hopes to use the Siyang Commercial Bank to open Xishan Bank in Western countries and even other places so that banknotes can be accepted…

Emperor

Hongzhi immediately understood what Fang Jifan was thinking.

Banknotes are now in circulation in Ming Dynasty.

Silver notes are backed by gold and silver reserves. Now that there is enough gold and silver, even if Xishan Bank is opened in various countries, as long as there are enough gold and silver reserves, it will be slowly accepted by various countries. After all, as long as Xishan Bank can withdraw and exchange gold and silver at any time, it will be enough for banknotes to travel around the world.

The most important thing is that Siyang Trading Company now has sufficient strength.

Its stock price is bound to rise crazily, and now…it’s time for it to show its strength.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan and said with interest: “You continue.”
