The first thousand three hundred and six chapters: the power of immortality
Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, under the leadership of Liu Jin, Siyang Trading Company has been lukewarm in the past two years, but in fact, Liu Jin has already made a plan in various countries."
"Not talking about the trade base, just talking about the information from the countries I have found in the past two years, there are countless information." As he said that, he paused, took a breath before continuing.
"I'm not praising Liu Jin, this Liu Jin and I have no relatives or reasons..."
"Let's wait..." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with his eyes questioning: "Didn't Liu Jin worship you as your eldest father?"
"Your Majesty is Your Majesty. It's true that you are very conscious. But Your Majesty, I have built Xishan Academy and there are so many disciples. A godson who recognizes me is nothing. For example, Eunuch Xiao, who also claims to be the nephew of Mr. Chen, but Is there any intention of protecting him?"
Fang Jifan glanced at Xiao Jing beside him, swallowed, and then spoke again.
"My sons are clear about their public and private affairs. They only have His Majesty and the court in their hearts. Apart from that, they have no selfish feelings. The heart of the sons is verified by heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can be seen."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
There is a little reason.
Fang Jifan continued: "Many of the messages from the Siyang Trading Company show one thing, that is, none of the countries have established a stable monetary system, and are even in the stage of exchanging goods for goods. Better ones, although they also minted money, countries must attack each other frequently, and new currencies can replace old currencies at any time. In addition, private money minting, there is no unified standard for the content of gold and silver coins, so that people often trade this currency, and the transaction of this currency is the most complicated."
"My son thinks that the silver notes in Xishan have been promoted in the Ming Dynasty, but now they have good credit. On the one hand, the money house is supervised by the palace and the court, and has special rules and regulations, and has enough reserves of gold and silver to ensure that they will never be harmed by the run. So, why not run money houses in various countries and push the silver notes of this money house to the world?"
"On the one hand, with a unified monetary standard, the future trade between Siyang Commercial Bank and various countries can be more satisfactory. And if countries accept silver bills, then our Ming Dynasty can use silver bills to import specialties from various countries to enrich the shortages of our Ming Dynasty. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty led the countries, and in the past, only governed the countries with tribute. My sons believed that this was very unstable. With money houses and silver bills, we could purchase a large amount of assets from various countries, so that they would never rebel."
"In addition, a large amount of gold and silver is imported into our Ming Dynasty to alleviate the inflation of the Ming Dynasty, introduce these inflation into various countries, and reduce pressure. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to strengthen Xishan Money House and Siyang Commercial Bank. With these three benefits, what does Your Majesty think?"
Emperor Hongzhi is in a good mood now, and a smile appears in his face.
He understood what Fang Jifan said.
Although I don’t understand some places very well, all countries in the world use the Ming Dynasty’s money tickets, nothing is wrong.
Emperor Hongzhi thought, and felt really happy. All countries in the world used the Ming Dynasty's money tickets. This was unprecedented in history. But if I missed him, he seemed to think of something again, and he couldn't help but stare at Fang Jifan and asked.
"Can it be possible? What if the countries refuse to obey?"
Fang Jifan smiled at Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty, the promotion of money tickets depends on interests. For princes, nobles, merchants and even ordinary people in various countries, as long as this thing is stable and can always guarantee its value, they will make their own choices. This is by no means a monarch of a country, and if you want to ban it, you can ban it. When there is no currency more stable than silver bills in its country, people are naturally more willing to accept transactions of silver bills. This is not something that a monarch of a country can solve by just a single edict."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think.
"You have a constitution, and this matter will be handled by the government."
The function of this sutra came out all of a sudden.
There have been many giant business companies in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is money shops, Siyang Business Banks, Xingfu Group, or giants such as steel, textiles, steam locomotives. If there is no organization in this area, it will not be possible.
But the court didn't know much about this.
Fang Jifan said: "My son obeys the order."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I finally look forward to this day. In a few days, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. This is a double happiness, haha..."
With the money, Emperor Hongzhi was full of energy and his face was radiant.
However, Liu Jian and others were speechless. If they had known this, the treasury should have purchased some stocks and assets appropriately. Even if the treasury fails, they should have bought some of them at the beginning.
Emperor Hongzhi sent someone to ask again. Just as he was talking, in less than half an hour, another eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, it has risen, it has risen again, it has increased fourfold, fourfold."
Emperor Hongzhi calmed down instead and suppressed his hands: "This is nothing, don't be excited."
Liu Jian and others looked at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment.

Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin were ordered to arrive at the capital at night. It was just dawn, but there were already chariots and horses from the palace to welcome him into the palace.
Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin sat in the car. Their car arrived at the Meridian Gate. Outside the Meridian Gate, there were all officials who were preparing to enter the court for discussion.
But the carriage did not stop, and the officials had to make way out one after another, and then watched the carriage pass directly through the Meridian Gate and enter the palace.
call……
The officials looked at the carriages and horses that were leaving one by one, and their eyes were about to burst into tears.
The treatment of taking a bus in the palace is a treatment that the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet cannot enjoy throughout the year.
Although it is inevitable that some people are envious, jealous and hateful.
However, there are many Hanlin people who are full of surprises.
They whispered: "The one who just passed by Liu Wenshan and Liu Gong... I heard that this time, he was ordered to go to Franji and destroy Franji's countries with one person's strength."
"Is that so? I heard that it's amazing just because of the golden scented flowers."
"The stock price of Siyang Commercial Bank has risen thirteen times..."
The Hanlin editor Liu Jinshui was even more in the crowd, and tears were about to flow out.
It's thirteen times, it's only a few days. At that time, he listened to Wang Bushi's words and fought for all his belongings. Now, he finally turned over.
Finally, I became rich, and I don’t have to live a hard life.
He was so excited that he kept muttering: "Liu Wenshan Liu Gong, he is such a great man. He has made unparalleled achievements for my Ming Dynasty."
Some people also had a gloomy face, stood aside without saying a word.
Wang Bushi's side is never bad now.
They asked about their well-being and took good care of them: "Mr. Wang, are you tired?"
"Mr. Wang, are you cold? Do you want to add a piece of clothing? Come on, put on mine." So he started to wear loose clothes.
The people around were also eager to wear loose clothes: "Put it on mine, put it on mine, warm it."
Wang Bushi's eyes moved, swept over familiar or unfamiliar faces, pursed his lips, and waved his hands at them: "Thank you, no need. I feel uncomfortable wearing ordinary silk."
So everyone looked at him resentfully.
Yes.
I heard that Wang Bushi's court uniforms were all customized. The best craftsman first measured his whole body to ensure that they were completely close to the body. Moreover, the materials used were as thin as cicada's wings. Each layer was sewn by the best weaver. Not to mention the materials or the threads for sewing clothes, they were carefully selected.
This level suddenly opened up.
It's not even possible to be friends.
You can only be amazed at what people are talking about, or your mouth is wider than an egg. How to maintain your health, what to eat every day, what clothes to wear, and how to wear boots, this is completely beyond the imagination of these poor Hanlin people.
Many people want to cry again.
Some Hanlin even said timidly: "Sir Wang, do you think that there is still a need for blessings to the stocks of Siyang Commercial Bank?"
Everyone stared at Wang Bushi like a wolf.
Wang Bushi said lightly: "Stocks are more speculative after all, and gentlemen speak for profit. We are scholars and sages. But I heard that Shuntian Prefecture is promoting public schools, spreading saints on behalf of saints, and deeply rooting in people's hearts. This is a great merit, great education, and talking about stocks. I am willing to set up a good school to assist in education, donating dozens or hundreds of schools to fund Shuntian Prefecture. It's just... It's easy to donate schools, create facilities, and even sponsoring people to study. But it's difficult to recruit satisfactory and erudite talents.
, I am having a headache every day, I have been worried about it for several nights, and I am worried about it. If you have any old friends, if you are talented, you might as well recommend one or two. It is best to be honest and have good character and academic performance. If you have something to do with new learning, it would be even better. Besides... a few days ago, I heard that there was an old woman who adopted many children. She relied on needlework to support others every month. This is a righteous act and worthy of advocacy. I heard that she is not well-off, but I don’t know where this old woman lives now. I really want to visit her. In addition, I also want to give her some gold and silver to teach her to help more orphans.”
“…”
"This...this..."
Many people began to blush.
Wang Bushi looked around everyone, then sighed with his hands behind his back.
"The easiest thing in the world is to gather wealth, but the most difficult thing in the world is to gather righteousness. Confucius said to be benevolence, and Meng said to be righteous, only if the righteousness is complete, so benevolence is the most so. What is the learning of reading sages? Now, we will be almost ashamed. The learning of sages is as high as Mount Tai and unattainable as the sea. If our body is based on benevolence and righteousness and act according to our ability, even if we only have a little effort, we will have no regrets in this life."
