.,

Emperor Hongzhi thought that he had heard wrongly, and kept reminiscing about Xiao Jing's words in his mind.

As if he heard correctly, he was silent for a long time.

Then, with a look of suspicion, he looked at Xiao Jing: "What did you say?"

"Slave servant... Slave servant..." Xiao Jing had a hard look on his face.

That's right, when he heard the news, he was also shocked.

Damn... that godmother didn't recognize her in vain. If she recognized her later, even if she wanted to hug her thigh, she wouldn't be able to.

He said expectantly: "Your Majesty, Liu Wenshan, Liu Jin and others, they came back from Frangji and brought with them a mountain of gold and silver, the number of which cannot be counted."

"Franji... how many ships they have, this Siyang Trading Company, can they snatch the Franji?"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't believe it, and asked in shock.

There is no other explanation for it other than robbery.

From the looks of this Franji man, he is not weak. If the Great Ming Navy is mobilizing his troops to leave, maybe... there is such a possibility.

But as far as Emperor Hongzhi knew, Liu Wenshan and others only brought some merchant ships, so how could it be possible to bring back countless gold?

Fang Jifan listened, and suddenly became fierce.

He shook his spirits and looked happy.

My dear and beloved disciples and grandsons are back.

Thought they died outside.

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan couldn't help but want to burst into tears.

God bless you.

But when he heard the word grabbing, Fang Jifan couldn't help saying excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's not grabbing, it's not grabbing. Liu Wenshan is deeply influenced by the morals of his sons and ministers, how could he do such a thing."

Emperor Hongzhi hadn't recovered yet.

He stared at Fang Jifan obsessively, the news was too shocking, without any warning in advance.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a puzzled face, and asked in puzzlement, "What's going on with Jifan?"

Fang Jifan explained: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that my son asked them to go to Frangji to sell flowers..."

sell...flowers...

This will work?

Even if Fang Jifan is a god, everyone thinks that Fang Jifan is unreliable in selling flowers.

This has completely subverted people's cognition.

Well, even if the flowers can be sold, and can be expensive.

But……

How is it possible, as Xiao Jing said, all the gold and silver have been moved back.

Emperor Hongzhi was at a loss.

He stared at Fang Jifan.

This matter was obviously planned by Jing Fu, so if you don't ask Fang Jifan, you can find someone.

Liu Jian and the others couldn't help but gasped, and looked at Fang Jifan in bewilderment.

Fang Jifan has brought too many surprises to everyone.

But today's surprise... is still far beyond their cognition.

Fang Jifan knew that selling flowers was not convincing enough, so he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that in Liu Wenshan's sequel to The Wealth of Nations, there was an exposition of the bubble theory."

Emperor Hongzhi searched his brains and scratched his stomach, barely remembering some.

Of course, when I first watched it, I just watched it on a whim and didn't pay attention to it.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, the so-called bubble was just a worthless thing whose price suddenly skyrocketed, but in fact, it did not have such a great value.

Of course... this...

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to understand, Fang Jifan explained seriously.

"This time, Liu Wenshan went to Frangji to practice this idea. Tulips are worthless, but at the beginning, they were rare and expensive. Afterwards, when they came to Frangji, as long as they contacted some speculators Merchants, you can let these merchants go around and make them become decorations for princes and nobles."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and Empress Zhang also liked tulips very much, even in the current capital...it is very popular now.

"But... how many princes and nobles will spend all their wealth just to buy these flowers?"

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Majesty, if you just use tulips as decorations, of course this tulip will not cost much money. But your Majesty should know that the cultivation of tulips takes a lot of work, but its seeds, oh, are bulbs. , but it is extremely easy to preserve. And all the tulips are controlled by Liu Wenshan, so as long as this thing wins the favor of the nobles, and as long as Liu Wenshan controls the shipment of tulips, what will be the consequences."

To be honest, explaining this to half-assed economists like the emperor and Liu Jian is really strenuous.

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, his eyes lit up: "The price will go up."

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi had realized something, Fang Jifan continued.

"Yes, as long as the shipments are reasonably controlled and the price keeps rising, then... I dare to ask Your Majesty, what will happen next?"

Emperor Hongzhi followed Fang Jifan's thinking: "The price will rise, just like a stock that can continue to rise. In this world, who doesn't want to earn money? Naturally, many people will hoard, hoping to make a profit with the help of tulips."

Fang Jifan was happy: "That's right, Your Majesty, this is the case. This tulip has changed from an ornament to a product that can fight inflation and make profits. It has broken away from the original attribute. People buy it." It, no longer use it for consumption."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Go on."

"In this way, it will inevitably cause a trend. Those who have hoarded tulip bulbs naturally hope that everyone in the world will buy tulips. Only in this way can all boats rise. In other words, with the help of tulips, in fact... Liu Wenshan has already won countless They have tasted the sweetness and do not need to ask for help. They will spread the benefits of tulip bulbs everywhere on their own. They will repeatedly declare to people how precious tulips are. Come on, such a concept will become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with their help."

"The situation of Franji is the same as that of my Ming Dynasty. Because of going to sea, inflation is prevalent. Most of the people have accumulated a little bit of savings, but soon, it begins to depreciate. In fact, the entire Franji, They are all entangled in one question, how to keep their savings at their proper value."

"In Daming, there is already a ready-made method, such as the securities market. People put their savings into the stock market and real estate to resist the depreciation of these currencies, and the silver in the stock market flows into the hands of merchants. Merchants Carry out production, and then start to build and expand workshops, produce countless goods, and make profits from it, and in the end, the vast majority of people benefit from this process.”

"However... in the current Franc machine, although the handicraft industry has been greatly developed, there are many princes, and there is no unified market at all. This has also led to the development of their stock market and workshops, which are just emerging. "

"The emergence of tulip bulbs has solved one of the most pressing problems for all of them, that is...preservation of value. As a result, more and more people have begun to accept tulips, from princes to common people. This tulip, not only With investment properties, it can even completely replace currency, because in people's eyes, tulips can change hands at any time, so even in many transactions, people can even directly take tulips and exchange them for any goods."

Emperor Hongzhi has gradually begun to understand something.

He gasped, although Fang Jifan said it lightly, but... No matter how stupid Emperor Hongzhi was, he knew very well that the process involved must be thrilling, so he drew inferences from one instance to another.

"Does this mean that tulip bulbs are like the silver notes of the Xishan Bank? The silver notes themselves are worthless, but because the bank's gold and silver are used as reserves, they can guarantee that the silver notes can be exchanged for full gold and silver at any time. Therefore, More and more people accept it."

"Yes, at this point, the tulip bulbs are actually the same as the silver notes of the Xishan Bank. It's just that behind the silver notes, not only the Xishan Bank, but also the palace and the imperial court are its credit. Therefore, the Xishan Bank issues silver notes. Therefore, there are sufficient reserves of gold and silver in the bank, which can be exchanged at any time. But tulips are like duckweed in water. Its only The value is just scarcity. But in fact, the vast majority of tulips are not scarce. In Daming, these things are innumerable, and have even reached the level of flooding. Naturally, Liu Wenshan can quickly release them when the time is right. Goods, in this way, you can make a lot of money from it."

"I see." Emperor Hongzhi was very pleased.

This Liu Wenshan is really a talent. Fortunately, he can think of such things.

In this way, these gold and silver are made by speculation.

Some worthless flowers turned out to be the most valuable things in the world, really...

But……

Fang Jifan smiled: "Of course, relying on this, Liu Wenshan is enough to make a fortune, but this alone is not enough."

besides……

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was like a primary school student.

As for Liu Jianren and others, they seem to be at the level of nursery schools.

They all stared at Fang Jifan dumbfounded.

Fang Jifan glanced around at everyone, and then continued: "Once Liu Wenshan releases a large amount of goods, the price of tulips is bound to plummet, but...has your Majesty ever thought about who will suffer the most from this plunge? Who has the most tulips, and who is most afraid of the terrible consequences that will result from countless people losing their money after the tulips plummet?"

Emperor Hongzhi shuddered.

He began to understand gradually again.

this hand.

Possibly more poisonous.

He thought to himself, if all the people of Ming Dynasty bought tulips, and countless people gave their lives, and the palace and the imperial court also reserved a batch, then... he and the imperial court must be the most afraid of the tulip price plummeting Bar.

After all, if there is a problem in the palace and the treasury, there will be a big problem, and if the wealth of the people is looted and they have nothing, they will be furious.
