Fang Jifan couldn't see Zhu Houzhao's bragging.

Fortunately, he has cultivated himself well, so he didn't expose Zhu Houzhao, he just smiled and said: "But I don't know when His Majesty will return to the palace, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to go to greet him in person."

Zhu Houzhao felt his scalp go numb.

He pondered and said: "I know, I know, I know."

Fang Jifan couldn't help worrying about the White Lotus Sect.

The popularity of gunpowder is bound to make some people with ulterior motives find some bad uses.

But... If the gunpowder is not supplied and this tool is lost, many projects cannot continue.

This White Lotus Sect was attacked by Fang Jifan ten years ago.

But this kind of organization is the easiest to revive. To put it bluntly, they have a certain social foundation.

In many places where the imperial power can't take care of, there will always be some people pretending to be ghosts.

Fang Jifan left Zhu Houzhao's place with a heart in mind.

In a few days, as expected, a fast horse came in a hurry, and His Majesty's holy driver had arrived at Tianjin Wei, and entered Beijing the next day.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly called Fang Jifan to pick him up.

University scholar Li Dongyang wanted to go, but Zhu Houzhao stopped him, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang with a smile: "Master Li, you don't have to go, you can do it if you have this palace, Master Li has a lot of opportunities every day, so it's better to be in the cabinet. "

Li Dongyang could only salute: "Yes."

The emperor's grandson, Zhu Zaimo, went to Queen Zhang's place early in the morning to say hello, and he wanted to follow him in good spirits.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him sternly: "Asshole, do you want to be lazy and refuse to study? Father Ru Huang returned to Beijing, and he will go to greet him for his father. What are you going to do? Go read your book."

Zhu Zaimo frowned, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhu Houzhao's words, and was driven away by Zhu Houzhao.

Fang Jifan looked on, a little puzzled: "Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Master Li, what if he sues me when he meets me for the first time? My eloquence is not as good as Master Li, so of course he can't let him go. As for Zai Mo, he can't even go. He saw my father slapping me, I am also his father after all, so where is the face going?"

Fang Jifan couldn't help sighing: "Your Highness is far-sighted." He thought to himself, this technology tree is a bit crooked, and the IQ is all on this messy thing.

Zhu Houzhao cheered up: "Let's go, let's hurry up and go to Tianjin Wei."

With hundreds of cavalry, they rushed all the way to Tianjin Wei. Halfway through, they saw the guards of the front team, and then someone reported back.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived at the Chinese Army anxiously.

Here, Emperor Hongzhi had ordered someone to stop the imperial chariot. On this journey, Emperor Hongzhi had no appetite at all. Xiao Jing hurriedly turned around. When he saw the prince and the Duke of Qi coming, he looked around, why did it come just the two of them? ,What about the rest.

But he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "Your Highness..."

"Go away!"

Xiao Jing glanced at Zhu Houzhao resentfully, and wanted to back away.

Zhu Houzhao said, "Come back."

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him: "Father is fine."

"fine."

"Then I will see you in the Palace."

Xiao Jing went to report.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting on the imperial chariot, sweating all over his body, his hot face was slightly red.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan boarded the car.

The two bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty."

When Emperor Hongzhi saw the two of them, he was instantly excited, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

Seeing that his father was still, Zhu Houzhao raised his head cautiously.

"Father..." Zhu Houzhao showed a flattering smile.

Emperor Hongzhi wrote lightly, "How are you, Jingshi?"

"If you go back to your father..."

"I didn't ask you to tell me, I asked Jifan."

Fang Jifan said seriously: "Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a sullen face: "Really? Nothing happened?"

"Things will definitely happen." Fang Jifan said: "But under the governance of His Highness the Crown Prince, everything is still safe, and all the remaining officials praise His Highness the Crown Prince for his wisdom."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he almost burst into flames.

Zhu Houzhao thought in his heart, Lao Fang is still very interesting, he said these words, even if he is completely tied to Bengong, if he wants to die together, that's good, he has a companion on the way. Bengong was still thinking, if the road is lonely, I would take a bag of thread balls to knit sweaters on Huangquan Road.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "Really? There was a natural disaster in Henan, do you know?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, a natural disaster has occurred. After hearing the news, His Royal Highness immediately organized disaster relief. Now, the disaster situation is safe."

"Hehe..." Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to give Fang Jifan a chance to tell the truth, but now it seems that Fang Jifan and the prince are really a nest of snakes and rats, working together.

This made Emperor Hongzhi even more furious.

As a courtier, one should take the initiative to blame the monarch for his faults. Even if two people are as close as brothers, they should also blame each other. This is the real brother and true friend. If everything is covered up for him, it will only be considered harmful.

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Then, I'll ask you again, how did you provide relief."

"Move the people out of Henan and send them all to the capital." Fang Jifan answered honestly.

"Whose idea is this?"

"It's my son's idea." This time, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan said in unison.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Very well, it seems that both of you have a share, Jifan, Jifan, I thought you were more mature and prudent than the prince, this time I left Beijing and ordered the prince to supervise the country, that is Because of this, I feel a little relieved, unexpectedly, you are also such a person."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help saying: "Father, where is my son's mistake, I ask Father to correct it."

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded for a moment, and said sharply: "When did I teach you to relieve disasters like this?"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the disaster situation in Henan has been getting better every year. It is the land of the Central Plains, with a large population, and the land is too small. It’s okay, once it’s a disaster year, people won’t be able to bear it anymore. If there is a natural disaster, people will starve to death. If it’s just relief, and wait for the court to release food, by that time, many people will have starved to death. This natural disaster The essence of human disasters is man-made disasters. The reason for human disasters is nothing more than the lack of land and the large population. If people want to survive, they must fight and rob. Instead of letting the victims of the disaster sit and wait for death, it is better to move out some of the people.”

Emperor Hongzhi was heartbroken.

It's all right if the money is gone, you two bastards, you actually come to talk to me about the big truth, what's the matter, my money has disappeared, or is it not my money? Or is it that I ignore the life and death of the people, but you two prodigal sons care about the people and the world?

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Then what about my money, how much money did I spend in my treasury?"

All of a sudden, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Majesty, it cost more than seventy-three million taels."

It turned out that there were three million more...

Emperor Hongzhi almost fainted, so the 20 million taels of internal funds are gone?

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Really? I have only worked for a few months, and you...you have already spent all your money."

Zhu Houzhao said: "I'm not free, don't you have a little more?"

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was almost ready to support the carriage and hit his head on the ground: "Nizi! If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't forgive you. Even if I give my country to a cat or a dog, I will never give it to you." Here you go, how dare I give you the inheritance of my ancestors, so much silver, you can spend it as you say, if I come back later, wouldn't it be... wouldn't the world be gone?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, actually it didn't cost so much."

Emperor Hongzhi looked terrible.

He looked disappointed.

It's a taste of despair.

This money was originally saved for the children and grandchildren.

To put it bluntly, it is also planned to be used by Zhu Hou in the future.

It's not such a trick.

It's only been a few months, and the crown prince dared to do such a thing, so after he died, this kid became the emperor, and he was under the nine springs, can he rest assured?

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his heart was cold, and his life was meaningless.

"Didn't it cost so much? Heh..."

"Your Majesty, my son has calculated the accounts, and now there should be fifty-seven million taels in the internal funds."

"What?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Most of the money in the money is stocks. These stocks cannot be sold for a while, but His Royal Highness is concerned about the victims of the disaster and is eager to use the money. Therefore, these stocks are mortgaged to the bank. It is indeed a seven-year loan." There are more than ten million taels of silver, and the rest of the internal treasury is estimated to be around eighteen or nine million taels."

"But Your Majesty, in the past few months, countless disaster victims have poured in, and the population of the capital has skyrocketed. In this capital, so many derivative coins have been released at once, and the demand has reached an extremely strong level. In addition, many of them The expenses are all on the bridge and pavement, and there are still a lot of projects. Because of this, as soon as the news came out, the stock market soared. Almost all the bulk goods are just around the corner. Every workshop has countless orders. It's a big profit. The stocks owned by His Majesty, not to mention the other listed companies that have been relatively hot recently, even the Siyang Commercial Bank, have taken the opportunity to rise. That is to say, in the past few months, the internal funds The stocks owned have climbed from the original 90 million taels to nearly 140 million taels."

"In addition, Xishan Jianye's profits are astonishing, because of the influx of people, Xishan Coal Industry, Xishan Iron and Steel... These are all industries that His Majesty has a large share of. Now, the profits are extremely rich and objective. It can be estimated that in just a few months, the dividend income of the internal treasury has increased by at least 50%. This million people have now gradually started to have jobs. In the future, they will need food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital. Guaranteed, future profits will be even more impressive."
