Chapter 1308: Split the earth to seal the king
All eunuchs have been awarded titles.
This is a rare thing.
But to be honest, Liu Jin deserves this title.
But to Liu Jin, he cried.
Tears fell.
Now it's OK.
I have all my sons and are ready-made.
In the future, I, Lao Liu, can really continue the incense.
Liu Jin immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace, how can God be so grateful?"
Compared to Liu Jin's lack of integrity, Liu Wenshan seems much more modest.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded.
He is no longer stingy with the title.
Since voyage to the West, the changes that the Ming Dynasty has experienced are no less than the founding period.
It is precisely because of this that countless famous ministers and generals need to emerge.
This group of rookies now is no less than the founding heroes of the country.
In the future of the Ming Dynasty, we need to seek great achievements in the world. If we are even stingy in titles, then who is sure that Hai Fubo and expand its territory?
Emperor Hongzhi can calculate this account better than anyone else.
What's more, the benefits brought back by Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin are many times higher than those of the title.
This is by no means comparable to a mere rank.
Emperor Hongzhi pondered: "As for Wang Xizhu... why did this person take such a Chinese name?"
This question...all the officials and ministers in the court were confused.
Yes, Wang Xiu's name is similar to that of Zhao Gou and Beggar Zhang. This person also has a special hobby. He has a bad name, but he is called this, which is inferior.
Fang Jifan's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly stood up and made a move for Wang Xi: "Report to Your Majesty, I think it was Wang Xi who was willing to be honest with the Ming Dynasty, endured humiliation and burdened. In the name of this exquisite work, he took this opportunity to open his heart to the Ming Dynasty and express his ambitions. My Ming Dynasty is gentle and far away, especially Your Majesty's name of benevolence, everyone knows that he bathes in the holy grace and takes this name, isn't it very reasonable?"
this……
It seems to make sense.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly, so he naturally stopped caring about it and said, "Wang Xi has made great contributions to this. Although he is a barbarian, if he is in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, in my eyes, he is my people. He has made great contributions and ordered him to be Xin'an. Unfortunately, he is far away in Franji and his life and death are uncertain. I cannot personally call him rewarding him in front of the imperial court, but it is also a pity."
Fang Jifan said: "Although Wang Xizuo is thousands of miles away, his heart is in front of the imperial court. Your Majesty rewards him. If he has a clear understanding of his heart, he will not know how happy he should be. He will definitely be happy. He will bathe in the emperor's kindness thousands of miles away, and will sacrifice his life to repay his life and be crushed to pieces, and he will also share his worries."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, exhaled, and a red light appeared on his face.
To be honest, although I think the meaning of flattery in Fang Jifan's words is a bit heavier, but I can't resist this saying is very pleasant and very nice.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I am very interested in the window plan that Liu Qing's family mentioned just now. If it can be successful, my Ming Dynasty will completely control the northern province. With this northern province, it will make my Ming Dynasty even more wings. If it can be successful, it will be God bless the Ming Dynasty. But... Jifan, what do you think about this?"
Fang Jifan thought about it and found that Liu Wenshan was the one who made the decision. But if he thought about it carefully, if he was also in Franji, he might have set up this dangerous move.
Although this step is dangerous, if it is done, the benefits will be even greater. If this nail is laid, then there will be more chances of winning after the end of the hegemony of the Spanish Kingdom.
Fang Jifan gritted his teeth, who made them all his disciples and grandsons, and said confidently: "Please rest assured that Wang Xizuo has been used by his ministers over the years. This person is loyal to my Ming Dynasty and will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Emperor Hongzhi felt a little relieved.
The implication of Fang Jifan's words seemed to be saying that this was ours, and Fang Jifan took the heads to protect him.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan's neck meaningfully.
Then he showed a gratified smile: "Then... I hope the good news of this Franc."
Emperor Hongzhi is particularly interested today.
But Fang Jifan felt very strange. His Majesty kept staring at his neck and was watching what he was doing?
It makes no sense.
One marquis and two earls were thrown out at one time, which was a grand event for the Ming Dynasty.
All the officials and ministers in the court were shocked.
At this time... it is inevitable that there will be the idea of finding Wang Bushi to make a fortune and seeking Fang Jifan.
Although some people feel a little sad, to be honest, this is really convinced, and everyone has no temper at all.
People are very real. After all, food and drink cost money, not to mention that many people are carrying mortgage loans. How many people here make a small profit in the stock market by Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin.
They wanted to have a few more people like Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin.
As for those who regretted and did not buy Siyang Commercial Bank, their hearts were in pain, but they could only blame themselves for not following Wang Bushi's advice.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have been aroused.
He pays special attention to the northern provinces.
There is also Fang Jifan’s Xishan Money House plan. If both of these things can be accomplished, it would be even more exciting than the Ming Dynasty’s two great victories overseas.
only……
Although Fang Jifan was the guarantee, it was related to the national plan, Emperor Hongzhi was still a little unconfident in his heart.
Especially in northern provinces.
On the one hand, he was not sure whether Wang Xizuo was willing to truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. He was in the northern province. If he proclaimed himself as the king, the Ming Dynasty would have no choice but to do anything to him.
On the other hand, what if he fails? He is alone, with only a group of Siyang Commercial Bank's strong men, and a ship of gold and silver. Once it is exposed or someone simply attacks him for no reason, his life will be gone.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed in his heart, but he was still thinking, no matter what, he had to give it a try.
Jifan is not bad, right? He believes that the king’s work is meticulous, and I believe that Jifan will do it.
With his heart twists and turns, he lowered his head and took a deep look at the map.
I also sighed in my heart that the geography of the northern province is truly unique.
When Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao came out of the hall, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known this, why didn't you remind me and ask me to buy some Siyang Stores as well."
It’s not a good mood to watch others get rich and miss the opportunity.
Fang Jifan comforted him and said, "I couldn't predict whether this could be done at the time. Besides, your highness has borrowed too much money. Every time I see Mr. Shen, I feel like I owe him money. I really can't bear to let them spend money anymore. If it is done, it would be fine, but what if Liu Wenshan and the others failed?"
Zhu Houzhao grinned, but after thinking about it, Fang Jifan's words were completely fine, and it really made sense.
Fang Jifan immediately said, "Your Highness, next, our silver bills should be revised."
Zhu Houzhao showed surprise: "Revised version?"
Fang Jifan said: "Of course we need to revise the version, we need to follow the trend. The Xishan Money House is going to expand outward. Let's start with the Western countries, as well as the Japanese and Korean countries. How can we not revise the version?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement and said, "I am very excited to think about it. I am here to take charge of the silver bill."
Fang Jifan naturally let his temperament and said with a smile on his face: "Then, please ask Your Highness, but... the silver bill... needs to be changed, so why not use the treasure bill? Now the Ming Baobao court no longer prints it, so let's take over it. In addition, in order to prevent counterfeiting, we also need to do some effort on ink, carved plates, and paper."
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said confidently: "This is easy to deal with, it involves the technical level. I personally organized a group of people to study it carefully."
Fang Jifan was very relieved about this.
Fang Jifan nodded with a smile: "Then, I'll have to do my best."
"But, in a few days it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager..." Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan, looking like a death-seeking ghost: "If I have distracted my mind, what should I do about this birthday gift? I have recently borrowed money and sold a lot of land, but the investment is not low... The turnover is not available. But if I give less, I am afraid..."
Fang Jifan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this gift minister has packaged it. Let's give it together. We will definitely give it a most expensive birthday gift in the world, keep it for the Empress Dowager to like it."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she was immediately happy.
What he was waiting for was Fang Jifan's words.
But he was a little worried: "Lao Fang, my great-grandmother is old and she has always been nice to me. You can't be stingy. You must make her happy. Otherwise, we don't think of having a good life. If you anger her, your father must expose my skin."
Fang Jifan just agreed with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao was relieved and his mind was full of thoughts about revising Baochao.
Fang Jifan had already been concerned about the birthday ceremony and was confident.
But... the only thing that worried him was the Northern Province.
This guy Liu Wenshan is good, and he is indeed his favorite student, but... Wang Xizuo can do this, or whether he can do it, or whether he will destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
Fang Jifan is a person with a broad mind. He has always treated others with heart, but... this person's heart is hard to protect and will not be betrayed by others.
This is a big event, and it is related to the future strategy of Francis and the complete destruction of the current maritime overlord Spain to fight against each other. If it is done, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, we could rely on houses to bind Wang Xizuo, but this time, some real estates could no longer have any control over Wang Xizuo. Who wouldn't want to break the ground and be named the king?
Fang Jifan held his hands behind his back and sighed in his heart. After thinking about it, he still encouraged himself, not afraid, not afraid. Our Fang Jifan is usually kind and kind to others. With our Fang Jifan's personal charm, what are you afraid of? It would be strange if Wang Xizuo was not influenced by our Fang Jifan's morality.
