The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1539

[1539.Chapter 1461 Bullying the Sky]

Zhang Xin is a down-to-earth person who works extremely efficiently.

Soon, the field station was asked to prepare 10,000 acres of experimental fields.

It’s just that spring hasn’t started yet, and everything is still just preparation.

Research on fertilizers has also begun in the research institute.

In fact… research is relatively easy, but the difficulty lies in large-scale production.

But… what we want now is precisely some kind of shocking effect, and everything else is secondary.

A large number of Fang family members were sent to Tianjin Port at the end of the year.

They will gather together and wait for a fleet of ships to arrive for supplies before Yang Fan sets out to sea.

In view of the Chinese New Year, Fang Jifan was particularly gracious and allowed them to spend a good New Year in Tianjin Wei. As a result, countless cattle and sheep were sent there, all raised on pastures in the grasslands.

Fang Jifan was good to his relatives.

Although these people can usually eat rice, it is still brown rice, let alone eating more meat, but now they are fed with delicious food.

Those who came with their families were all crying, and looked like they were mourning for their heirs every day. When they arrived at Tianjin Guards, there were guards outside, guarding them day and night. There was no chance of escape, so everyone beat their chests. He stumbled, pointed his finger at the sky, and denounced the injustice of God.

When they smelled the aroma of meat, they suddenly felt that the liquid at the corners of their mouths could not stop flowing down the corners of their mouths.

People need to eat.

People also have the desire to eat meat.

Just like crops need supplementary nitrogen fertilizer.

Hot beef and yokan were served to them.

Chopped green onion, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns are added to the soup to remove the fishy smell and make it fragrant.

Drink it in one gulp while it’s hot.

Immediately, the hot soup and the smooth and delicious mutton melted in your mouth. This taste…

“It smells so good…”

Someone cried.

This is not an exaggeration. Many people have never eaten so much meat in their lives.

They shed tears, and these tears flowed into the meat soup. When the meat soup entered their mouths, what they ate was no longer meat, but also their own feelings.

“This is all given by the Duke of Qi. The Duke of Qi has an order. We are all one family. From now on…he will feed you. Follow the Duke of Qi and you will have meat to eat every day. You guys, please eat more meat these days. , keep your body strong, and pay attention to hygiene. You should bathe every day, use soap locust, brush your teeth and face regularly. If you have any physical ailments, you should report to the doctor here in advance. If you feel better, you can board the ship. There is nothing to worry about. Don’t worry, everyone, you are the close relatives of Duke Qi. How could Duke Qi treat you so badly? In Huanghuangzhou, Duke Qi has already prepared land for you. Each person has 500 acres. Calculated based on the number of people, as long as you are willing to sell it. Will it be a good time to cultivate the land? There is also meat on this ship, which is cooked and canned. In addition, there are enough medicines. Have all the men been registered? The next day, you have to gather together, get some exercise, and practice. After half a month, I will teach you how to use the short blunderbuss of the wheel. There is nothing to be afraid of in the Golden Continent. It is a good place. How many people want to go there? Duke Guo of Qi has not yet As for Ken, it’s because we are all relatives. “

The camp is a closed environment.

They were given more favorable conditions and had meat to eat. Next, a group of students talked about the benefits of Golden Continent in this closed environment.

People are like this. They were not happy at first, but gradually, their ears became irritated, and they had meat to eat again. This improved their quality of life by many levels. Now let them go back to their hometowns and continue to eat glutinous rice. Suddenly I felt like I was boring again.

Not all of the Fang family were destitute, there were also many educated people, and all of these people were gathered together.

Fang Jifan can be traced back to his distant relative Jiao Fang five thousand years ago, and began to lead everyone in learning.

Jiao Fanneng was named on the gold medal list and had been an official for decades. His academic level was still good, but his mind was a little crooked. But now, after experiencing the great changes, he was completely despairing. He also owed Fang Jifan a huge debt. Although this debt, although It was a verbal agreement to return the favor, but after all, it was not written in black and white, and now he was surrounded by the Fang family, so even if he had bad intentions, he couldn’t get away with it.

Not only that, Wang Jinyuan also came up with a crooked idea.

Although Jiao Fang is not young, after all… she is not yet 70 or 80 years old.

Wang Jinyuan found a widow to marry him.

In this way, someone will take care of his daily life, and it can be regarded as allowing him to start his life again. In the past, Jiao Fang’s family had fallen apart, but now, it can be regarded as a new life.

A few days later, a group of people also arrived here despite the cold wind.

They came from Jiaozhi, led by a young general, Fang Zhengqing. Fang Zhengqing led two battalions of troops to station at Tianjin Guard. According to the order, he will also go to Huanghuangzhou in the near future.

Fang Jifan felt quite a bit about his own son going to Golden Continent to replace his father. He was quite sad, but fortunately, having Fang Tianci beside him gave him some comfort.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but feel worried when he learned that his father was in poor health.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to sympathize with Fang Jifan’s situation and ordered him into the palace. He said with a gentle face: “Jifan, Zhengqing has two battalions of troops here. Your father has been operating in Huanghuangzhou for so long. In addition, with such a There are many people in the Fang family. I think you don’t have to worry too much. This is what your father meant, and I was reluctant to do so. But if you think about it carefully, your father is a prudent person. Since he is a memorial, he certainly has his own thoughts. “

Although Emperor Hongzhi comforted Fang Jifan like this, he himself looked worried.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, said calmly and generously: “The child has grown up and his wings have hardened. It is time for him to learn to fly. Although I am worried, the minister will still have to practice sooner or later, so I have to let him go.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, feeling comforted, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Yes, the children have grown up. In the future, they will leave the protection of their parents one by one, and will move further and further away from you, and go to their own lives in the past. Life, I think this is a helpless thing.”

With a complicated mood, he forced a smile and suddenly said: “At the end of the year, I issued a decree and ordered Zhengqing to rush back to the palace from Tianjin. I want to Meet him in person and let him spend a good year with me.”

After that, Emperor Hongzhi said: “Forget it, let’s not talk about this… But recently, there is a good deal. Has the successor heard about Ruyi? Bank? “

Ruyi Bank, Fang Jifan frowned slightly as he listened.

Xishan Bank almost monopolized savings and lending all over the world, and even had the power to print Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.

However, there are also some small banks that have emerged to provide small loans.

Fang Jifan was not very interested in this.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said happily: “This bank is quite interesting. The business is very big now. I only learned about it last month. It is said that as long as you can deposit one hundred taels of silver, you can save money every month.” Fifty taels of silver were distributed as dividends, but the principal remains unchanged…”

Fang Jifan’s expression changed, damn, that sounds a bit familiar.

If you invest one hundred taels of silver, not only can you withdraw the principal at any time, but you will also be given five taels every month. After one year, it is equivalent to giving you sixty taels for free. In one and a half years, you can get one hundred taels. The most important thing about earning it back is… they will definitely promise that you can get it for the rest of your life…

But look at Emperor Hongzhi’s beaming face.

Fang Jifan’s heart skipped a beat again.

The development of industry and commerce has taken off.

Most business practices are good, bringing wealth to the world and the rise of industry.

But…

the people of the Ming Dynasty are really ambitious. As expected, as long as business is opened, such a Ponzi scheme will appear quickly.

Moreover, the person who eats the first crab is the happiest person, because at this time, most people have not suffered losses or been deceived, and have almost no immunity, so…

Fang Jifan laughed dryly and said with unclear meaning. “Your Majesty…are you also interested in this?”

Emperor Hongzhi obviously hadn’t seen Fang Jifan’s profound meaning, so he smiled and said: “Why are you not interested? I didn’t know it at first. But Shouning Hou and Jian Changbo were the first to discover it. They At the beginning of this year, they invested tens of thousands taels of silver. The interest earned from Ruyi Bank alone is already 20,000 taels. The principal is still there. They will earn more by next year. They are happy to know the news. Not only did they increase their investment, they also told me that I was also suspicious of this Ruyi Bank at first, but I heard that they have a grand investment plan, and the profits from some of the current transactions are amazing, and the bank is extremely creditworthy. Okay, now in Beijing and even in Jiangnan, many people have invested money in this bank. The amount invested reaches hundreds of millions, and the number of people involved is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I After letting the factory guard check the details, he felt relieved. In the past two months, he asked the palace people to change their appearance and invest two million taels in the name of a merchant. Sure enough… this month, one hundred thousand taels of silver were paid. The interest is real money, every penny is worth.”

Speaking of making money, Emperor Hongzhi’s mood also improved, but…

Fang Jifan: “…”

He couldn’t help but look at Emperor Hongzhi sympathetically.

Ponzi schemes are almost the most advanced of financial scams.

Among them, he is extremely proficient in human psychology and the control of human YUWANG.

Even people who have experienced countless scams in the previous world are still unable to resist this kind of scams with various disguises, let alone… it is still in this era.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, was as pure as a piece of white paper.

“Your Majesty, apart from you and the two uncles from the Zhang family, did anyone else invest money?” Fang Jifan said timidly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “It should be quite a lot. If so many people hadn’t invested in it and received benefits, how could I easily give away so much real gold and silver to others? Why, Successor, you don’t look right. ”
