The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1423

[1423. Chapter 1352 Thousands of miles in search of a feudal lord]

After hearing Wang Bushi’s words, everyone was speechless.

Uncle, you have made money, but we are still struggling, carrying loans and struggling to get by.

You made it easy, you don’t have back pain when you stand.

Sure enough, rich people are like dogs.

Every one of them is counted as one. Pull out the people named Fang and Wang and chop off their heads. No one will be wronged.

However, although everyone was cursing in their hearts, they all had smiles on their faces: “What Master Wang said is true, and his kind deeds are even more admirable, admirable, and admirable.”

“Scholar Wang is a true gentleman.”

“How can you be a gentleman?” Wang Bushi shook his head and adjusted his sunglasses. These sunglasses… Ganqing has changed to a new model again. The frame was still golden a few days ago, but now the material has been changed to unknown materials.

Wang Bushi said: “Although I occasionally make a little money, I still adhere to the teachings of the saints. The difference between humans and animals is that animals don’t know etiquette, but people have benevolence, justice, etiquette and trust. Look, the bell is ringing. , I’d better enter the palace quickly.”

“…”

At this time, Wang Bushi gave people a sense of powerlessness.

If you have money, everything you say is right.

Everyone is still looking forward to the day when the philanthropic Bachelor Wang will casually reveal a little bit of information, so that everyone can make a fortune. His words are worth money, even salted fish can turn around with him.

So everyone filed into the palace.

And at the same time.

Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin’s father and son had already got out of the car.

Liu Wenshan took a deep breath, feeling extremely excited.

Liu Jin even had the veins on his forehead exposed.

Driving in the palace was Liu Wenshan’s ideal. For Liu Jin, this was simply impossible.

You must know that he is a eunuch, an eunuch, and a servant in the palace. No matter how high his status is in the future, he will never be treated like this.

And now, this impossible task has been completed.

Liu Jin was in a turbulent mood, her eyes were red, and she couldn’t help but said: “Thanks to the godfather, if he didn’t give us a chance…”

Liu Wenshan nodded, his teacher’s kindness is like a sea, this is a great kindness.

Although working hard is one thing, without this opportunity, hard work is useless.

Xiao Jing walked out with a smile. He first nodded and smiled at Liu Wenshan in a friendly way, and then his eyes fell on Liu Jin. This expression was particularly weird. Then, Xiao Jing smiled even brighter: “Two great heroes, your Majesty has been here for a long time.” It’s been a long time, please come quickly, please come quickly.”

Only then did Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin calm down and enter the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne.

Under the golden lanterns, stood Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan respectively.

When Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin came in, they immediately prostrated themselves and shouted long live.

Then the two of them raised their heads and secretly looked at Fang Jifan.

My mentor (Godfather) looks very good, he is still very young, has a distinguished temperament, and a graceful demeanor. He still has the same thin skin and tender flesh, and his fair skin seems to be rosy.

As for Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin, because they had traveled across the ocean, they had changed into court clothes, but the dust on their faces could not be concealed. Their complexions were bronze, and their eyes looked slightly tired, making them look a bit older. state.

After the two saluted, Emperor Hongzhi stood up from the imperial chair and said with emotion: “Come here, please give me a seat for the two Qings.”

Liu Jin became even more embarrassed and felt very uneasy. After all, he was a eunuch and had never experienced such a situation. treatment.

At this time, all the officials were already filing in.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something and said: “Isn’t there another Wang Xizuo? Where is this person?”

“Report to Your Majesty.” Liu Wenshan said seriously: “Wang Xizuo is a man from Franji, but he loves the Ming Dynasty. Tulip After the bubble was burst, the Franji Continent was in a mess, and the prices of land and assets plummeted. I felt that if I just returned with a full load, it would still be insufficient, so I ordered Wang Xizuo to return to the Northern Province with a ship of gold and silver…”

” Northern Province!” Emperor Hongzhi raised his thick eyebrows and interrupted: “Where is Northern Province? Come and get the map.”

Xiao Jing quickly asked someone to get the map and spread it on the ground of Fengtian Hall.

Emperor Hongzhi quickly got off the Jinluan, stepped on this huge map, and looked at it carefully.

Liu Wenshan stood up and pointed out the location of the Northern Province: “Here, they call themselves Dutch or Frisians. Your Majesty, look, they are surrounded by the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France. Next to France is the Kingdom of Spain. . The location of this northern province is just to the north, facing England across the sea, to the east, the German states, and to the west, France. Its location is unique…”

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips. After thinking for a while, he immediately said: “The Qing family will continue to talk.”

Liu Wenshan then said: “The soldiers and civilians of the Northern Province are not satisfied with the rule of the King of Spain. According to my estimation, the tulip disaster will cause heavy losses to all countries. The Northern Province is bound to cause chaos, and I believe that if Wang Xizuo arrives in the Northern Province with gold and silver, he will take this opportunity to madly acquire large amounts of land, real estate, and castles at extremely low prices… and also attack the military and civilians of the Northern Province. Then, the northern province should be the first to survive the crisis, and Wang Xizuo can also take this opportunity to control the northern province in one fell swoop. If he really succeeds, this stable northern province and the entire chaotic Buddha will be affected. Compared with Langji, it becomes an isolated island. “

“An isolated island?” Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Wenshan with interest. He just wanted to meet Liu Wenshan and others and praise him, but who knew that he hadn’t started to praise him yet. Well, then Liu Wenshan reported another plan to himself.

He looked at Liu Wenshan and couldn’t help but show obvious appreciation, and asked: “What is an isolated island?”

Liu Wenshan was not excited because he was not excited. Instead, he remained calm in front of the king and talked about what he was thinking in his heart: “Everyone is The crisis here will intensify, there will inevitably be a large number of rebellions, and there will be wars everywhere. Then, wherever it stabilizes first, a large number of businessmen and people will go to take refuge. If so, this northern province will become the entire Franconian province. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that this was the case, and said: “You mean, this northern province is equivalent to the capital and the chief envoy of Baoding, because life here is better than that in ordinary state capitals. Therefore, in case of

natural

disasters, If there is a man-made disaster, there will inevitably be a large influx of people?”

“Your Majesty, this is the case. I am guilty of eternal death. It is for this reason that I made this assertion without permission. This is also my idea in terms of economics. , once this northern province takes the lead, it will naturally have a siphon effect. And by then… it will become a demonstration area and a fulcrum for the Ming Dynasty in the future. To use troops against Franco, or even to trade with Franco, this northern province will not only be a springboard, but also a showcase.”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized, and was immediately delighted: “I understand, Franco is far away .

The Ming Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles away, and if Franji is not restrained, it will sooner or later become a problem for the Ming Dynasty. How can we allow others to snore under the bed? This northern province is just a nail?”

“Exactly,” Liu Wenshan said with a look in his eyes. He looked bright and said: “If you operate it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded happily and said with a smile: “Okay, okay, okay!”

He said three good words in a row.

A shipload of gold and silver would be great if it could really be used.

If so, then it is another great achievement.

However…

the expression on Emperor Hongzhi’s face became more serious. He stared at Liu Wenshan and said, “How confident is the Qing family?”

“I dare not exaggerate. In view of the current shortage of gold and silver in Franji, there is a large amount of it. “

The wealth has been reduced to nothing. At this moment, Wang Xizuo still has that ship of gold and silver. If Wang Xizuo can use it, I have a 30% to 40% certainty

.

However, considering that such a small price was used in exchange for greater benefits, it was already a good deal for Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled a little more and said with emotion: “Liu Qing’s family is thousands of miles away, but he can help me worry about it at any time. He is a truly loyal minister. Not to mention whether the plan in the northern province can succeed, it depends solely on his leadership. Recovering so much gold and silver and weakening my most serious problems is a great achievement. I discussed it with the cabinet yesterday. Come on, Liu Qing’s contribution is no less than the military merit of destroying the country. He has military merit. The title of Marquis is an ancestral system. Someone came and ordered Liu Wenshan to be the Marquis of Dinghai.”

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at Liu Wenshan with envy.

Not to mention that Liu Wenshan’s future is boundless, and now he has obtained a marquis, which is something that many people have not been able to obtain after struggling all their lives.

Among civil servants, those who can be knighted are very rare, and it is almost an impossible task. And for Liu Wenshan, this alone is enough to boast for a lifetime.

Fang Jifan was cheerful and pleased.

When Liu Wenshan heard that it was necessary to make him a marquis, Liu Wenshan subconsciously glanced at Fang Jifan with gratitude.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin again: “Liu Jin.”

Liu Jin hurriedly bowed down and said, “I am here.”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: “You are in charge of Siyang Trading Company. In the past two years, you have achieved such great results. It can be said that you have worked hard. At the beginning, I still have some doubts about the recommendation of you by the prince and his successor. Now it seems that they were right. This time you went to Franji with Liu Qing’s family, riding in front and behind. You also have a share of the credit. Although you are Eunuchs are palace slaves, but I will never favor one over another. Several ministers believe that eunuchs are not suitable for rewards. But I think about it carefully. As long as all the subjects in the world have meritorious service, there is no reason why they should not be rewarded. I You are Nan Anbo. “

Nan Anbo…

Liu Jin’s eyes almost dropped. He looked up in astonishment and looked at Emperor Hongzhi, feeling a little confused.

How come we…a eunuch…have become an uncle?
