Chapter 1466: Getting rich
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's face became dark and unclear.
As an emperor, he is also a human being, and of course he cannot not love money. But...
He gently put his hand on the imperial case, his face calm, but suddenly said: "It's still inappropriate. How could I give my scholar who is famous in the Ming Dynasty to other countries? This is inconsistent and cannot be explained."
Why……
Fang Jifan was a little disappointed, and he couldn't afford to have money.
But... this is not something that money can solve.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling regretful at this moment.
However, it is indeed inappropriate for the emperor to do so.
However, Fang Jifan became interested in this.
Suleiman actually likes Confucian scholars, which is a good thing.
Fang Jifan paused for a moment and said solemnly: "But Your Majesty, is it the king's land in the world? Although the Ottomans are Western barbarians, they are also human beings. How can they not educate them and let them go? The land of the world and the world is worthy of benevolence and righteousness. Now Prince Suleiman admires the Ming Dynasty and wants to carry out benevolent government. What's wrong with this?"
Fang Jifan could always speak very beautifully, and Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved again.
Listen, it makes sense.
He wandered: "In what name should we do?"
Fang Jifan's mind was quick and he immediately said, "You can organize a large-scale mission in the name of sending envoys. Your Majesty personally recruited these erudites who are well-versed in ancient and modern times, and then go to the Ottoman in the name of envoys. Isn't that what it is?"
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned...
Yes, if it is just the name of sending an envoy, wouldn’t it be right? As for whether these people are willing to come back in the future, this is not something they care about.
Although Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused, he nodded in the end: "Hey... I don't want to care too much about this matter. I am the emperor and cannot care about everything."
Fang Jifan naturally understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant.
From the standpoint of Emperor Hongzhi, there is really no way to deal with this matter too much.
Fang Jifan volunteered to say, "My son is willing to do his job for you. Your Majesty is relieved. My son will definitely be able to do this beautifully."
Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said meaningfully: "If you have anything, you must report it in time."
Fang Jifan said: "Don't worry, your Majesty, these great scholars are the treasures of my Ming Dynasty. My sons will not sell them at will at any time. If there is any news, they will definitely report them at any time to avoid your Majesty's worries."
"Go."
Emperor Hongzhi solved a problem.
It is reassuring to hand such a thing over to your son-in-law. Fang Jifan is best at this.
Fang Jifan really wanted to help Emperor Hongzhi share his worries, but... he was actually a little confused after receiving the order.
This Suleiman... is the master of the great master, how could he be interested in this Confucianism?
And it is so powerful to introduce talents?
Talent...
Is this a talent?
Fang Jifan thought in a daze all the way, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had a sudden idea.
In this matter, we have to find the prince first.
When Zhu Houzhao heard that there was something to make money, she ignored the crops and rushed over panting.
"Lao Fang, people can sell it too."
"Being a human tooth is to be stabbed by someone's backbone." Fang Jifan had a stern face: "I have always been unable to stand the business of slaves in the Ming Dynasty. I was thinking about how to eliminate this ill, how did His Royal Highness say such things?"
Zhu Houzhao scratched her head and sat down and said, "But..."
"Your Highness, Prince Suleiman, I hope to bring a group of great scholars to the west. Your Majesty agreed, but the court was not inconvenient to come forward, so I handed over this matter to the minister. I asked the minister to come down to discuss this matter."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Is this Suleiman blind?"
Fang Jifan felt that Zhu Houzhao was really unrestrained, so he sighed: "Anyone who comes to the capital of my Ming Dynasty, especially this new city, will inevitably develop a yearning heart. This is human nature. Prince Suleiman, from the perspective of his ministers, is also considered an ideal person. He wants to imitate and learn, so it is understandable."
"At the beginning, I didn't understand why Suleiman actually followed the Tao of those great scholars, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not completely unreasonable. Your Highness, think about it, who was the receptionist of Prince Suleiman when he arrived in the capital? What is his identity? If he went to the Honglu Temple, if he wanted to visit the talented people, and ask him who would be. After that, after he visited the talented people, what would these talented people say to him?"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand."
Fang Jifan said again: "This will give Suleiman a cognition, that is, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was rich and powerful was the most different from its own country. The Ming Dynasty promoted the learning of saints, the successors of the learning of saints, and these great scholars, who created the peaceful and prosperous era of our Ming Dynasty. Because of this, he needed to visit the way of prosperity and strength, and he would definitely find these Confucian scholars."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Don't say these things are not available, just say, how do you plan to sell them?"
"This is not a seller." Fang Jifan said heartbrokenly: "This is to deepen cultural exchanges between the two countries according to the orders, to spread sage studies, which is the most important thing in the world. Fang Jifan said bluntly, am I a scholar myself? People have roots, just like big trees, and my knowledge is also the foundation. It has inherited the sage studies for thousands of years, and today is the world full of students."
"Your Highness, don't mention the word "buying and selling" in front of me again in the future."
Zhu Houzhao understood and nodded: "But... Lao Fang, wouldn't it be bad to push people into the fire pit like this? What I mean is, how much can I exchange for?"
Fang Jifan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Money matter is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if these Confucian scholars go to the Ottoman, they will definitely play a huge role."
Zhu Houzhao smiled mockingly: "Ha, I'm afraid they will be beheaded when they arrive?"
Fang Jifan shook his head and said seriously: "Have you ever thought about why since the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, this Confucianism can be passed down for thousands of years without falling?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, obviously not understanding yet.
Fang Jifan said lightly: "It's because it has something to do with all your might."
Of course, Fang Jifan could not tell Zhu Houzhao what was worth.
Confucianism cannot be described as good or bad.
To a certain extent, the learning of saints has great vitality for agricultural society.
Over the past thousand years, all Confucius' doctrines have been revised beyond recognition, but... why does any ruler, whether Han people or other nations, immediately hit it off with the sage's learning once they move into the Central Plains.
This knowledge has been changing all the time.
From Confucius and Mencius's words, "If a king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers regard him as his loyal heart; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as grass, then his ministers regard him as enemies." Then to the king, the king, the ministers, the ministers, fathers, sons and sons.
In fact, the study of Confucius and Mencius has been undergoing a transition.
Gradually, it began to cater to the monarch more and more.
To a certain extent, knowledge has no borders.
Because any monarch who has an interest in Confucianism and understands it will like this science.
It requires the ministers to be infinitely loyal and loyal ministers, and to restrain the people with the idea of benevolence and righteousness and moral propaganda. This is very important for an agricultural empire with a vast territory, because rebellion in any place may shake the vitality of the entire empire, and the study of benevolence and righteousness is the cheapest stabilizer.
They also established a system that revolves around the monarchy and maintained the absolute rule of the monarch.
Not to mention, they have a complete theoretical system, within which they are almost invincible.
They are also particularly able to fight, citing classics, and learning from various historical pasts, and they can be easily grasped.
There is almost no reason why any emperor dislikes such a group of people.
If a group of such people are introduced.
It is no longer clear to see the Ottoman monarchs when they see them.
This is the reason why Suleiman, who is talented and wise, falls in love with them.
Of course, Fang Jifan even expected that eight out of ten of these people would be crazy opposition from the Ottomans' Kashas.
Regarding this kind of opposition... Fang Jifan smiled happily.
In terms of combat effectiveness, those group of Kasha or warlords, compared with the great scholars, as long as these Kasha dare not rebel, can the great scholars press them on the ground and rub them to death, then point at their noses and yell, who else?
Such rich experience in fighting is definitely not comparable to those of the rough guys.
In later generations, there was a professional term called 'species invasion'.
If such a vast Confucian scholar went to Ottoman, Fang Jifan could almost guarantee that those weak people would be beaten by the great scholars.
This has lasted for thousands of years, evolved continuously, and even created a group of people who "summit of agricultural feudal society".
Fang Jifan said confidently: "Your Highness, do you believe it or not? In less than ten years, Ottoman will learn from all over the place. All of these great scholars sent to the world will become Suleiman's ministers. Since then, Ottoman must have been a prevalent Confucianism and a country of etiquette? Why did I... this harm them? I am making them famous."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned.
He thought about it for a long time, but still felt that Fang Jifan's words were a bit incredible.
Just those guys?
Humph, I can beat them one thousand of them one by one.
What are their abilities besides reciting the Four Books and Five Classics repeatedly?
There was contempt in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Don't believe it."
"What are you betting on?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with confidence.
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and looked full of confidence: "Zhenguo Mansion... I will bet on Zhenguo Mansion. If I lose, this Zhenguo Mansion will give you it."
