MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1730 Fang Jifan for the country and the people

  Chapter 1730 For the country and the people Fang Jifan

  Liu Jian's face was already flushed, and he only wished that the court would not pay him a penny. Now he only hoped that His Majesty would respond quickly. As for Chen Yan, he had no intention of paying attention to it anymore.

  Zhu Houzhao also had a bright face.

   Just this trip, I don’t know how much money I can make for nothing.

  He nodded readily and said, "I have approved this matter, and you are allowed to build the railway by yourself."

Hearing this, Fang Jifan seemed to be afraid that Zhu Houzhao would promise something indiscriminately again. You are not joking, so he immediately added from the side: "Your Majesty means that you are allowed to build the railway, and you report the plan. If you need the land of Xishan Qianzhuang, then you will have to pay for it." It is the Xishan Bank who bought the shares with the land, which accounts for 55% of the shares, which is not too much. At that time... the railway is repaired, and you will be able to take advantage of the land."

Merchants in this era will naturally not have any unreasonable thoughts. It is a good thing for them to invest in land from Xishan Bank. In this way, their own investment is equivalent to being tied to Xishan Bank. This is the greatest guarantee. !

   With the guarantee, many merchants were happy.

  Zhu Houzhao gave Fang Jifan a look of astonishment. He never expected that Lao Fang would be so ruthless, and he took up a lot of shares by offering a worthless land.

   Isn't this an empty glove white wolf?

  He glanced at Fang Jifan in admiration.

  Fang Jifan still smiled, changed the topic, and said to Liu Jian: "Mr. Liu, this Chen Yushi is a man of character."

Fang Jifan paused, and then said: "What he said just now is not unreasonable. Although Chen Yushi insulted me, it was because of his righteous words that I felt that I was wrong. The so-called people are not sages, who can do nothing?" However, it is precisely because there are people like Chen Yushi in the imperial court that people can see their mistakes clearly. After hearing what Chen Yushi said, I admire him very much. I heard that there are many vacancies in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Why not How about promoting Chen Yushi as the capital censor to reward his loyalty?"

  Promotion?

   Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, this is a bit unreasonable, in his heart, Fang Jifan is definitely not such a generous person!

  Chen Yan originally thought that his death was approaching, but unexpectedly...

  He looked at Fang Jifan in astonishment, with a vigilant expression on his face.

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being slightly displeased.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "In short, I want to recommend Chen Yushi. He loves to argue so much. No, he loves impeachment so much. He is really a rare talent in my Ming Dynasty. It would be a pity if he doesn't become the imperial censor. Minger I will send him to Huangjinzhou, let him inspect the Fang family's fiefdom, and let him criticize the Fang family's mistakes every day, and I will use Chen Yushi as my mirror."

  Golden Continent…

  When Chen Yan heard these words, his scalp became numb.

   That's Fang Jifan's land.

  To be honest, going to sea with the emperor is still considered exile.

Now Fang Jifan wants him to go to Huangjinzhou, but anyone with a little heart knows that this means that his wealth and life are all in the hands of the Fang family. Once he boards the boat, who will know whether he will It will be killed in the vast ocean and thrown into the sea to feed the fish!

Fang Jifan, this bastard, can do anything. On the vast ocean, even if he is dead, no one will pay attention to it. After all, there is a huge risk in sailing, and people will only regret it. You Chen Yan Bad luck.

  Chen Yan immediately wailed: "No, I won't go to Huangjinzhou."

   "Don't toast, don't eat fine wine." Fang Jifan suddenly lowered his face, it seems that because he became a cabinet scholar, everyone always thinks that Fang Jifan has a good temper.

   But at this moment, Fang Jifan was still lamenting that Chen Yan is a loyal and upright person. Suddenly, Fang Jifan suddenly became murderous.

  Chen Yan shuddered fiercely, and quickly looked at Liu Jian.

   Liu Jian was silent, but now he wants to know whether the railways in various places can raise funds to start construction.

  For a person like Chen Yan who likes to make trouble, it's better to see it out of sight.

   The toast is naturally going to Huangjinzhou, so what is the fine wine, but it may be uncertain.

  Chen Yan seemed to have taken time out, his eyes were red, and he was trembling with fear.

  The rest of the officials, at this time, even lost their spiritual support, like a frightened bird.

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Since Fang Qing's family thinks that Chen Yan is still useful, then I agree, I will send him to Huangjinzhou tomorrow, and I will pay for the boarding fee. Well, it's getting late, let's drive back palace!"

   Zhu Houzhao wanted this result.

   Liu Jin was on the sidelines, staring at Chen Yan.

Don't look at Liu Jin in front of Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, it is a kitten, or the kind that has been castrated, but in front of others, he has become a hungry tiger. He shook the flesh on his face, and smiled. grinned.

  Zhu Houzhao first went to invite the Empress Dowager, and then boarded the car by himself, and the group returned to Daming Palace in a mighty way.

  First send Empress Dowager Zhang to Fengtian Hall, and Empress Dowager Zhang took a seat and let out a sigh of relief.

   Today's trip shocked her. She entered the palace more than 30 years ago. How could she have imagined that the world outside the palace had already changed drastically.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "My mother, this time is really thanks to the two uncles. With the theories they put forward and the plans involved, the Ming Academy of Sciences may have two more academicians."

  Academician...

   Empress Dowager Zhang was surprised.

  She has long learned from the emperor that the academicians of the Academy of Sciences are extremely intelligent people, and her two brothers...are they worthy?

But seeing Zhu Houzhao mentioning the two uncles, his tone seemed to be more respectful. Empress Dowager Zhang knew the emperor's character, and her son, good or bad, was written on her face. People who don't like it can't pretend to like it, but if they admire it People can also be seen on his face.

"In addition, they have made great achievements this time. I will reward them according to their merits. I want to give the Marquis of Shouning as the Duke of the country and Uncle Jianchang as the Marquis. I am afraid that all the officials will criticize them, but... let the Ministry of Rites handle it first. gone."

  Empress Zhang was even more shocked and dumbfounded.

   But behind Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan was smiling.

   In the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhang, Fang Jifan's smile must have a deep meaning. I'm afraid Fang Jifan contributed a lot here.

  Empress Dowager Zhang gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look.

  Fang Jifan replied with a bewildered expression.

Empress Dowager Zhang was overjoyed and said: "You and the two uncles are a family. I don't care whether this matter is successful or not. What I care about is the emperor's heart. The emperor went to Huangjinzhou. Gong is missing day and night, I just wish I could accompany the emperor in his car, go to Huangjinzhou to serve the emperor, but I can't worry about the emperor, and I can't worry about the Zhang family... hey..."

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "My mother must not go to Huangjinzhou. The Golden Island is now a barren land. How can my mother endure the pain of the bumps?"

   Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to say something, but she hesitated to speak.

   Immediately, he smiled and said: "Anyway, my heart is at ease now, Ji Fan, let Xiu Rong come into the palace tomorrow, I have something to say."

  Fang Jifan was busy and agreed.

   Immediately, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan left.

   Coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao frowned, showing a rare bit of worry, and said: "Old Fang, the Queen Mother seems to want to go to the Golden Isle very much. What's so good about the Golden Isle, I just saw the Queen Mother and wanted to say something."

  Fang Jifan said casually: "Perhaps the empress is worried about the emperor."

   "Father has so many people serving him, so there is nothing to worry about."

  Fang Jifan said slyly: "Maybe it's because there are too many people serving. If you're not careful, the emperor will give His Majesty a few brothers."

   "Yeah." Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "Dare he? Turned against him!"

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao felt a slip of the tongue, and shrugged his shoulders: "The queen mother really thinks too much, the father shouldn't be like this, Lao Fang, right?"

  Fang Jifan didn't answer, he was silent for a long time, but said: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more like a son of heaven."

  These words... have a certain meaning. In the past, what he dared to say was clearly the emperor's line to Zhu Houzhao. Now it's all right, once the power is in hand...

  Zhu Houzhao then touched his nose: "Old Fang was really cruel just now, and he asked for 55% of the shares all at once."

  This is a serious matter, Fang Jifan said solemnly: "What Your Majesty said is about the railway?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "In my opinion..."

Fang Jifan interrupted him: "Your Majesty, the railway is a national instrument, and it involves the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is right to allow merchants to build the railway. After all, the money that the court can mobilize is limited. But has your majesty ever thought about it? It is the railway from Tianjin Weixiu to the capital that is profitable. Of course, tens of thousands of people are willing to give money to benefit from it. But I, Ming, only the railway from Tianjin Wei to the capital? Merchants will never build it The railway went to the desert, and he refused to spend money to repair the expensive railway to Sichuan. In the end...the court had to figure out a way to get the most profitable railway, let them take away all the benefits, then... other railways, What will the imperial court take to fix it? If Xishan Bank does not intercept these shares and control the ownership of this railway with 55% of the shares, in the future...wouldn’t it be controlled by others? Brothers can settle accounts clearly, let alone the imperial court and merchants? Now Your Majesty Even with the help of merchants, it is necessary to say the ugly words first, so as to avoid endless troubles in the future."

  Zhu Houzhao listened, and seemed to understand: "I thought you were like glue with merchants, so you also have these thoughts."

Fang Jifan said seriously: "I am only loyal to two things, one is Your Majesty, and the other is the common people in the world. But I am willing to do anything that is beneficial to Your Majesty and the common people, and I will do it with all my heart. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing but clouds."

  Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, then looked straight at Fang Jifan: "I am more important, or is the world more important?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."
