The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Seeing the honesty of Fang Jifan, Zhu Houzhao felt that the emperor did something with it.

He raised his eyebrows and continued: "The second rule is that this palace feels that it was a good idea to call the North Korean nation and Japanese kings and nobles to be resettled in Beijing. I want to invite the king of the world to come here. Come here, it is considered a serious sin, here ... let them live in Beijing, I thought about it, the plots have been painted for them, come, come, come, Liu Jin ... you dog thing, take the map. "

Liu Jin smiled and immediately took the map.

Fang Jifan actually doesn't need to see it. He can guess what he thinks. The location of the resettlement is nine or nine out of ten, which is the surrounding land that Zhu Houzhao bought.

So he looked at it pretendingly and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness, here is good, here is great, this distance from the new city is just across the road, it is both clean and placed around the new city. We ca n’t treat the noble kings and grandchildren of these countries too. Do we want to build a theater nearby? This is what the minister thought, let them listen more to the opera and appreciate the culture of my country. With a theater, it ’s reasonable to build a theater In a square, this square needs to be as large as possible. Only then does it show me the weather, but if there is a square, if you do n’t build a steam station, you ca n’t really pass it. If you repair the station, the nearby roads, I ’m just afraid to repair it. Look, at least eight lanes, eight carriages can not be side by side, would n’t it weaken my majestic majesty on the country? And here, if you need to get a college, use the top-level Xishanmeng College, co-operate, Wang Sun The nobles also have children. If they are not allowed to study, how can they teach them? And here ... this stinky ditch ... No, this river is as good as a jade belt. Repair it here and build a long embankment. There is a walkway next to it, willow trees are planted beside the walkway, and green plants and flowers are planted nearby. In this way, it will look more different. Here ... and here ... need to recruit big merchants, open a department store market, and people always need to live Well, to provide them with some convenience is also my Daming hospitality. The so-called friends come from afar, not to mention ... "

"Yes, yeah, yeah!" Zhu Houzhao smiled, and the chick nodded like rice, his eyes were straight.

Lao Fang knows so much, and he is clearly thinking about it, but from the mouth of Lao Fang, the taste is different.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I mean that. Laofang, we coincided, no wonder the father emperor let you into the cabinet, haha ​​... just do it. I will not mention this matter, you return In the cabinet, draft a chorus, no, you can't let you mention it, or others think it is my advice, you can find a disciple to play, and the chore arrives at the cabinet, you come to the draft, say that the idea is good, and then The tickets are going to be sent to me. I personally approve Zhu, and I will work harder to do it. Hey ... I have broken my heart for these noble kings and grandchildren, oh, yes, Lao Fang, you said so many good things are arranged By the way, if you build a house nearby, what price can you sell? "

Fang Jifan coughed: "This ... is not easy to say, Your Majesty ... The focus is still on placing the nobles of Wang Sun, including these people in the capital, so as not to make them chaotic everywhere, but also to strengthen control over the vassals. This is a move to benefit the country and the people. , Related to the national policy. "

Zhu Houzhao blushed slightly, carrying his hands on his back, following his father's emperor's usual appearance, and restoring the dignified appearance, so he nodded in an understatement: "Yes, yes, the old man is a minister of the country."

Zhu Houzhao said immediately: "Okay, now there are two things to do, this second is easy, but the first one ... Need to immediately order the people of the engineering college to go to the states of the world for exploration, and quickly draw up a railway connection The charter came out, and the southeast and northwest have to have a railway through. I want to repair the railway to Liaodong, Jiangnan, and Lanzhou. Go through these first, as long as it is fixed, if I have to fight against it, I will also It will be easier, in the future ... these railways can be extended ... "

"Your Majesty ..." Fang Jifan interrupted Zhu Houzhao: "This is thousands of miles of railroad tracks, not to mention the engineering difficulty. The engineering college has accumulated a lot of experience in these years, and the technical difficulties can still meet the difficulties. The key to the question is, where did the silver come from? These are all railroad tracks. With so many iron bumps, the cost of one mile is hundreds or thousands of silver ... "

Zhu Houzhao said rightly: "It is possible to raise funds. At the beginning, the railway between Baoding and Beijing Normal University ..."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "This is not the same. Baoding and Jingshi. One is that the railway line is not long. The investment in silver is after all a minority. On the other hand, this railway line is originally in a prosperous place, so everyone feels profitable. But if it is this 10,000-mile railway, it is different. The cost is too high, and in many places, the value is not great. I am afraid that no one will be willing to spend this innocent silver. This silver is thrown in, and I do n’t know when it will be recovered. "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hou felt reasonable. He had ambitions in his heart, and he only wished to implement his plans overnight.

Everyone knows that the railway is a good thing, but this thing is slow after all. If the railway from Jingshi to Tianjin Wei, someone is rushing to repair it, but if it is to Lanzhou or Liaodong? But this ... after all, it is the most important place, and not to mention, there are countless minerals there, which can be conveniently transported. Could the people in Liaodong and outside the customs give up?

Zhu Hou Zhao said: "Otherwise, this palace will go back and check the internal funds?"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that there is not much silver in the inner bank, even if there is, the Emperor will need to use it to go to the Golden Continent ..."

Speaking of the Emperor, Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh, and he immediately regained his energy.

Today's emperor can be described as being aggressive and aggressive. In ordinary people's words, it is radical.

But many times, there is nothing wrong with radicalism. After all ... the railway will be repaired sooner or later.

Once the railway is connected, there is no need to mention the benefits for business, and for the military, it also has great benefits.

If someone came to invade the Hexi Corridor at this time, in the past, the imperial court had to prepare 100,000 troops from the Beijing Division to Hexi. The food and drink along the way, and the time required for the march, lasted for a long time. When the reinforcements arrived, the daylily was cold .

However, if there is a railway, a large amount of materials and officers and soldiers can be mobilized immediately, and within a month, they can quickly be thrown into thousands of miles to carry out operations. What has changed is the shape of the entire war.

Even ... this is very conducive to the imperial court to control the place.

Everyone knows that Emperor Seco is far away, and it sometimes takes months or even six months for an official to take office. If something happens there, the news has been sent to the capital, and a month has passed. But once the railway runs through, the court can Quickly knowing the problem of the place is equivalent to ... the place where the railway passes is at the foot of the emperor.

These three aspects of economy, administration, and military will produce earth-shaking changes, so ... Fang Jifan is a major, and the sooner the better.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, he was very anxious, but when he heard the difficulty, he couldn't help getting annoyed. This was his temper.

So he went on: "Lao, you also have to think of a way, or else, borrow money from the bank?"

"Lending is not impossible, but the problem is that first of all, the court must have a principal. If not, it will be completely relied on by the bank, and the bank's money, after all, is only for depositors. How can you withdraw so much money, once there are many treasures printed? It will inevitably cause the devaluation of treasure banknotes, Your Majesty, this is not a long-term plan. "

Now that the identity is different, everything you do is responsible to many people. Fang Jifan tries to analyze the pros and cons for him as much as possible.

"In any case!" Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth: "You need to think of a way. This is the first thing I have done since ascending the throne. If it is not done well, how to serve the crowd? You have just entered the cabinet, and the so-called new officials have taken up three positions. Fire, old man, think about it. If it can be done, I will count on you and I will never treat you badly. "

Fang Jifan thief smiled: "Your Majesty, the solution is not without ... Your Majesty said about fundraising, then fundraising is the key. The key issue is that who has so much money, they will not take it out . "

"This ..." Zhu Houzhao was embarrassed again.

Even if it is internal money, the real gold and silver that can be taken out are limited. There are many industries in Xishan, and Fang Jifan can certainly take out a part. Needless to say, the treasury's money is fixed and cannot be obtained for the time being.

As for those merchants, aren't they now ramping up like crazy? Others are still worried about not having enough money.

But the question is, who else can take out so much money in this world?

Fang Ji said the thief: "Your Majesty, you have a plan, you can try it."

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao leaned on his chin. At this time, he had to admire Fang Jifan.

You have the most idea.

…………

Many ministers have become restless since the ceremony.

The next day, I heard that the emperor's list began to be released.

Each mansion sent their own servants to see the list.

The minister who drove this time was actually as many as a thousand members.

There are even cabinet ministers ...... Actually, for example, cabinet graduate Xie Qian is listed among them. Obviously, His Majesty still hopes to leave Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to assist the new emperor.

As for the Shangshu of various ministries, as well as Hongyun Temple, Taichang Temple, Hanlinyuan, and Duchayuan ... these government offices actually took a large part of them.

"Grandpa ... Grandpa ..." Someone came back with a crying tone ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Taichang Temple Secretary Liu Jing reported directly to the doctor today. The old servant's voice was awkward in his heart, and he saw the old servant rushed forward and fell to the ground.

Liu Jing burst out: "How ... how ..." Lips shuddered.

Sitting next to him, it was his two sons, and also looked uneasy.

His eldest son had good luck, and he was also known for his merits. In addition, Liu Jingnai was the secretary of Taichang Temple. After his operation, he is now on duty at the Ministry of Industry.

As for the second son ... I am idle, but there is the shadow of my father and brother, so I have no worries about food and clothing.

"The names of the old master and the young master ... are on the list, within half a month, to clean up the house, and the offenders to bully the king and deal with it, which will harm the door!"

Liu Jing suddenly felt dizzy. The eldest son Liu Xuan beside him was trembling in the moment of learning of the bad news, and then thumped his chest: "God, this is to kill all!"
