Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He began to doubt life.

Why have all my thoughts and life experiences been constantly subverted in the past few years?

Such a major matter involves national economy and people's livelihood, and what Fang Jifan said is right.

If these merchants learn from gentry and do not expand production or take out silver to consume, they will only become another group of gentry. The silver needs to be moved. If it does not move, countless people will lose their livelihoods, and the court's new policies will not receive enough taxes.

All of this is closely related and linked. Any mistake will lead to big problems.

Therefore, changing the social atmosphere and encouraging merchants to dare to take out money is the top priority.

Emperor Hongzhi had just thought in an instant whether he should have issued an edict to the Shang Dynasty, or... order the cabinet to take some measures.

But Fang Jifan, this guy, swore that there was one person who could do this.

This person is not a great scholar or a famous scholar, but just a slave.

How can a national event be so playful?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Yes, yes, this look is very familiar.

When Fang Jifan recommended his disciple, Emperor Hongzhi also had this expression.

only……

Emperor Hongzhi discovered that Fang Jifan had changed.

In the past, at least he had integrity, and he still knew that he would recommend his disciples.

Now, the slaves are filled in.

What does this mean?

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Are there any other candidates? I look at Wang Shouren and Jiang Chen, it's not bad."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, this matter can only be done by Deng Jian. Wang Shouren and others are not as good as Deng Jianzhi's if they are not worthy of carrying shoes for Deng Jian."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked: "Then you order Deng Jian to come to the emperor, let me take a look."

Fang Jifan shook his head quickly: "This dog slave has never seen the world before. If he sees His Majesty, he will only encounter the Holy Lord. My son thinks it would be better if he doesn't see him."

Emperor Hongzhi held his breath and sighed for a long time, "Well, you go and do it, give it a try."

Fang Jifan said, "Then I have said goodbye. By the way, Your Majesty, My Messy... I still need the help of Your Highness to the Crown Prince. Can you allow Your Highness to say goodbye with Your Highness to the Crown Prince?"

No matter what, I have to get the prince out. If I stay here, I will definitely be beaten.

Zhu Houzhao said unyieldingly: "If you don't leave, don't leave, today my father doesn't admit this mistake, so he lives in the palace."

Fang Jifan held his sleeve: "Your Highness, the important thing is important. If you have any, I will talk about it later."

Emperor Hongzhi also felt bored and was too lazy to argue with Zhu Houzhao: "Let's go back."

"I won't retreat." Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Fang Jifan covered his mouth and dragged him out of Fengtian Palace. Zhu Houzhao whispered, "What are you pulling me? Is this beating in vain? This foolish lord is indiscriminate, look..."

Fang Jifan was too lazy to go and saw it, only knowing that he had this son, so he had to beat him.

After finally leaving the Meridian Gate, Zhu Houzhao pointed to his face: "A whip seemed to hit my face just now. Look, is it blue?"

Fang Jifan saw that he was indeed... a little terrible, so he comforted him and said, "It's okay, I can't see anything."

Zhu Houzhao said, "Then I'll go and look in the mirror."

Fang Jifan said: "Don't look at it, Your Highness, women love to look in the mirror."

After finally coaxing Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan rushed to the west with a hurry and called Deng Jian again: "From tomorrow, you will go to the Wang family as a servant. I and Wang Bushi have already discussed in advance. If you go to be the housekeeper of the Wang family, you will take care of his daily life."

After hearing this, Deng Jian said, "Young Master, do you want me anymore?"

Fang Jifan sighed: "It's not that you don't want you, it's that there's a huge thing. If you want to do it, it will benefit the country and the people, and save the people. If you can't do it, the young master will chop you up and feed it to the dog."

Deng Jian shivered. It seems that such a meaningful thing is that he is chopped and fed to the dog.

Fang Jifan said: "When you arrive at the Wang family, you don't have to worry about anything, just restore your true nature. Don't worry about other things."

Deng Jian said: "Just like a villain used to serve the young master?"

Fang Jifan nodded.

Deng Jian still didn't understand: "But the villain thinks..."

Thinking of you, Fang Jifan was furious and kicked him to the ground: "Dog thing, you can do whatever you want, and say something else you think, and you will kill you, the dog thing."

Deng Jian let out a whimper, recognized the facts, endured the pain in his waist, and quickly turned over: "The young master has grown stronger again, and the young master is more and more arrogant. The young master is wise and the young master is mighty."

…………

He sent Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao away.

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little worried.

The consequences mentioned by Fang Jifan made him feel a little unwilling to accept it.

He believed that people would have immediate worries without long-term thinking. When they think of this, they felt that their hair would turn white.

So he summoned Liu Jian and the other two to come.

After hearing what Your Majesty said, Liu Jian and the other two looked at each other.

What they know in the end is the agricultural society, but now, with their decades of experience, this new thing is a bit overwhelming.

Liu Jian thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the old minister has read the theory of wealth of the country, but he knows a little about it. This wealth of the country cannot be separated from the flow of money, but if it is not lost, then it might as well be that the court encourages merchants to raise funds, how about it?"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Li Dongyang coughed: "This is not right. They dare not spend money, for fear of revealing their wealth. If they encourage them to raise funds, wouldn't they let them not speak up? At that time, they will be more afraid."

Liu Jian felt it was reasonable and smiled bitterly: "It's better to make a long-term plan. Let Liu Wenshan give a lecture first, let the old ministers learn it, and then let your Majesty give advice."

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to nod.

Times have changed, and so have gameplay.

People like Liu Jian have consciously turned into old antiques.

They are cabinet ministers, not Qingliu. Qingliu can criticize anything they don’t like, and they don’t have to take responsibility any responsibility anyway. They are responsible for anything they say or do. Success will be a thing of the past, and defeat will be despised forever.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said to Xiao Jing: "Go and compare the data counted in the new policy area a few days ago, and I will take a look."

Xiao Jing nodded.

Your Majesty has been obsessed with statistics recently.

How many workshops are there, how many workshops sold for more than 50,000 taels of silver per year, how many tons of coal, how many tons of steel are consumed every year, and how much steel is smelted. All these things have been transformed into the most intuitive number in the hands of statistics personnel.

Those who are emperors are afraid of not knowing what happened today, but even if the emperor looks at these millions of memorials one by one, the people's life is just a blind man touching an elephant.

The statistics are different. It can clearly tell Emperor Hongzhi whether the national strength of the Ming Dynasty's new policy region has been improved, and how many refugees can be given and how many jobs can be placed.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered something: "Also, we must copy these numbers to the cabinet in the future, and let the Qing family take a look."

Xiao Jing nodded: "Abide by the order."

Xiao Jing could only admire Fang Jifan in his heart.

The disciples and disciples he taught were really diverse and had everything they did. In this guy’s academy, he taught even arithmetics, but he even used a variety of tricks to learn this math, and he was trying to please His Majesty everywhere. Isn’t this the one that His Majesty likes the most?

Xiao Jing was extremely afraid of the statistics of these various reports.

Because what do factory guards do?

The factory guards spy on local public opinion.

Therefore, the factory guard is equivalent to the eyes and ears of Your Majesty. Whenever Your Majesty wants to know, he will know everything about the factory guard’s report.

But now, Your Majesty asked Tongzhou and Baoding Prefecture if there were any latest statistics. But those statisticians who were full and were still fond of doing this. The various reports sent were varied, some were salary statistics, some were industry statistics, and some were tax statistics. These numbers were all made into tables, and even... For the sake of being clear at a glance, they were also compared with previous years...

The time for Your Majesty to read the factory guards' report is much shorter than before. He likes to look at the watch. He can stare at a watch for more than an hour, just sitting withered, one number and one number comparison.

If this continues, the statistics department set up in Baoding will be on par with the factory guards.

You should know that the so-called power comes from whether you can influence the center of power? Your Majesty is the center of power. The reason why the factory guards have a transcendent position in the Ming Dynasty is precisely because they can influence Your Majesty's decision at any time. But once Your Majesty pays more and more attention to other sources of information, is there any matter for the factory guards?

Xiao Jing couldn't help it now, and wanted to recruit a group of people who were good at computing in the factory and set up a statistical bureau within the factory and confront the Baoding Statistics Department.

It’s a pity... There are not so many talents in the world who are good at computing, and eight out of ten are all monopolized by Xishan Academy. Isn’t it seeking death to pry Fang Jifan’s corner?

Emperor Hongzhi took out data reports and started reading them carefully.

He could see the truth, and sometimes he would even pick up a red pen and record data one by one, which was to make himself remember more deeply and save himself from remembering it.

"What a good thing. Now, I really want to meet you. The statistics officer of the Baoding Statistics Department has been published. I heard that he has published two papers in the search journal. This is a talented person, you... all learn."
