The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1454

[1454.Chapter 1380 Announcement of Good News Entering the Palace]

With Zhenla Kingdom as an example, the follow-up matters will be much easier to handle.

Liu Wenshan traveled to various countries, traveling east and west.

Chenla is both a good example and a bad example.

The king was rude, was beaten, and his majesty was shattered. Everyone knew about this.

Therefore, all countries are in a state of confusion now. Wherever they dare to be rude to Liu Wenshan, they all treat him respectfully.

And Chenla Kingdom is a good example.

Under Liu Wenshan’s promotion, Xishan Bank issued loans to various countries, temporarily easing the financial situation of various countries. At the same time, Siyang Commercial Bank began to expand in various countries, and after Siyang Commercial Bank, it was Countless Han merchants came overwhelmingly.

Aceh, Srivijaya, Siam…

one by one, Western countries had to accept these conditions.

In fact, even if they accept it, it won’t work.

As the credit of the local currency went bankrupt, merchants from various countries began to use treasure banknotes for transactions in private after the Chenla Kingdom began to implement treasure banknotes.

In their view, the Ming Dynasty was a kingdom in the heavens, with a vast land and abundant resources, and a much higher credit than ordinary small countries. Although these are paper currency, they can be exchanged for real gold and silver at any time as long as they find Xishan Bank. Moreover, people also discovered that Xishan Bank of gold and silver, extremely pure.

At first, the merchants were a little worried after receiving a large amount of banknotes after the transaction, so they hurriedly went to the bank to exchange gold and silver.

But when they arrived at Xishan Bank, they found that here they could exchange and withdraw money at will without any obstacles, and the gold and silver they received were all in full.

Gradually, people felt relieved and no longer bothered to withdraw money. Banknotes were convenient and large sums of wealth could be concealed. In addition, there was no trouble in transactions.

In addition, the copper coins of Xishan Bank have also begun to be promoted.

Suddenly, merchants no longer accepted any other form of currency.

Even if countries are resistant to Xishan Bank, they still cannot stop this mighty trend.

The merchants accepted it, and the people naturally accepted it subconsciously.

In the West, people who can understand Chinese gradually become popular.

What Siyang Trading Company brings is not just merchandise. It will be much easier to deal with Siyang Trading Company, even with Xishan Bank, if you understand Chinese.

Many merchants began to recruit a large number of interpreters. The more people they recruited, the higher the price.

On the streets, many expatriates who used to be ordinary poor people took root in the local area because they were Han Chinese. Soon, they began to become prosperous. They began to wear silk, received high salaries, and used rattan sedans to go in and out.

Inevitably, letters of memorial began to be sent to the ships bound for Tianjin Port.

………

Fang Jifan has a habit every morning when he wakes up. He first reads the latest issue of the Quest Journal to see what else he has discovered in it.

The emergence of the microscope suddenly gave rise to a new trend in research in various disciplines that had been somewhat stagnant.

With the help of microscopes, many new theories began to be discovered, or a certain theory was confirmed.

Everyone in Xishan’s various departments, as well as the Academy of Sciences, were extremely happy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Countless high-quality papers appear frequently.

Fang Jifan sometimes even felt that if he didn’t read Qiusu Journal, he would be out of touch with this rapidly developing world.

Fang Jifan even looked at some of the theories and felt a little powerless.

After all…a liberal arts student.

Regarding so-called technology, Fang Jifan was only at the level of nine-year compulsory education.

At most, it can only provide a direction guide for people of this era.

And precisely because there was a direction, countless students followed one after another and continued to pioneer and innovate on the original theory.

The entire Xishan Academy has 7,000 students, not including the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in the capital, the so-called wild ‘scientists’.

They are all exposed to the latest knowledge. They are no longer trapped in farmland in an agricultural society with limited knowledge. Coming here, people from all over the world are constantly communicating and have seen the vast world. Once people’s horizons are opened, their thinking is also broadened. These people have become the top minds of the Ming Dynasty. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people use their talents to gather together. God knows what new ideas will emerge.

The only thing Fang Jifan can do is to control the direction. Where is the frontier of science? In history, it is a path that has been struggled through the trial and error of countless people. In history, countless people are actually walking in vain. Wrong direction, but only a handful of people find the right direction.

Just like light bulbs, countless materials were tried before people determined that tungsten filament had a high melting point.

Therefore, the various studies that are often reported by Xishan Research Institute are often controlled by Fang Jifan. Whichever direction he works hard, there will be results, avoid detours, and most importantly, don’t waste money.

“Master, Master…”

A maid came in a hurry.

Fang Jifan laughed, looked at the maid in a hurry, and asked lightly.

“What?”

The maid hurriedly blurted out before she could catch her breath.

“Your Highness, you are pregnant. You are pregnant. Early this morning, you felt unwell again and even vomited. So you quickly called a doctor and it was finally confirmed that you are pregnant.”

Fang Jifan breathed out.

He had doubts before, but now…it’s a deal, ah, no, it’s finalized?

Fang Jifan said: “What do they say?”

“They say it’s nine out of ten.”

Fang Jifan smiled brightly: “Haha, really? It’s nine out of ten. Is this… considered reliable? Is there anything wrong? Otherwise, this young master will go to the palace to announce the good news, Your Majesty. You have to kill me.”

“Young Master…”

The maidservant looked startled, as if she had thought of something. She paused and then said, “Her Royal Highness also said the same, but those medical students are still here. The imperial doctors all said the same thing…”

“The same thing?” Fang Jifan looked suspicious: “What are the same words?”

“They said that if they were not sure, how could they dare to speak with certainty? If the diagnosis was wrong, wouldn’t they be killed by the young master? God? “

Huh…

it actually makes sense.

Fang Jifan felt relieved, okay, you quickly take care of His Highness to rest, and I will go into the palace to announce the good news. “

As he said that, he excitedly changed his court clothes, threw the request journal aside, the carriage and horses were ready, and Fang Jifan boarded the carriage.

…

Emperor Hongzhi held the report in his hand and frowned.

Zhenla Kingdom The news made Emperor Hongzhi increasingly worried.

He looked at the ministers in the cabinet, as well as the ministers of

the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War,

who were silent for a moment.

The blunderbuss of Shaoflangji was colluding with them, secretly plotting something. “

This is something that worries Emperor Hongzhi.

The Ming Dynasty competes with the Francons in the Golden Continent and even the Northern Province.

That’s all.

But the West is the backyard of the Ming Dynasty. If the backyard catches fire, it will not matter to the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss of face?

What’s more, if the Zhenla Kingdom is like this, will other countries follow suit

? The plan to control the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has arrived in the West, do you think that the Ming Dynasty is a public pit, coming and leaving at a moment’s notice?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites,

and saw that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to hear his thoughts. He then said: “The envoys sent by Zhenla Kingdom recently are quite respectful to our Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, didn’t King Zhenla build the Mu’en Pagoda? It is hope, bathing in His Majesty’s kindness. Therefore… I thought…”

“Hmph! “

Emperor Hongzhi was furious and swung his sleeves fiercely.

This is not to mention the Mu’enta thing, but it’s nothing more than repayment.

As soon as he said this, Emperor Hongzhi’s heart was overturned.

He threw the memorial in his hand on the imperial case.

Suddenly he got up .

.

His face was ashen.

“The barbarians are insulting me!”

This is Emperor Hongzhi’s comment on this matter.

If he really shows his kindness and respects the Ming Emperor, then… this is something worthy of

being treated as an enemy of the Ming Dynasty .

What’s this, pretending to be humble while making peace?

This is an insult to people’s intelligence.

I really think that the Ming Emperor is deaf and blind. I don’t know what your plans are.

When Zhang Sheng saw this, he fell to the ground and said in a panic. “Your Majesty, this minister has neglected his duty and has died. Do you want to immediately issue an order to go to the Zhenla Kingdom and reprimand the King of Zhenla? “

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He took the exquisite paperweight on the imperial desk and slowly played with it in his palm. He thought it was worth pondering. After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed deeply and shook his head towards Zhang Sheng, “That’s all. . “

This…”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed again: “What if an edict is issued but it has no effect?”

Liu Jian nodded: “Your Majesty is right.

“

The so-called warning is for warning, but if the Ming Dynasty has no intention of using troops against Zhenla for the time being, what is the use of warning? On the contrary, after giving the order, King Zhenla still showed his old ways, so… the court was in trouble. “

If you say harsh words, you don’t just let them go.

The country in heaven must have credibility.

Otherwise, if you say harsh words and the other party ignores them, then what should you do?

Other countries see it in their eyes, and if they see Ming letting it go Despite the harsh words, King Zhenla is still alive and well, I’m afraid… he has a different attitude toward the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi put the memorial aside with a cold face, and then said word by word: ” The Ministry of Rites secretly sent news to the Chenla Kingdom, telling them that the court had heard about their affairs in the West. Let’s see how they do. Let’s give it a try first. This small country of Tso’er is really impressive. The annoyance is overwhelming, and the conquests are just like chewing wax. Without conquests, they are like clowns, which is annoying. ”
