Faced with Emperor Hongzhi's doubts, Fang Jifan had many thoughts in his mind, and finally...

Gritting his teeth, Fang Jifan took a deep breath, blinked his eyes at Emperor Hongzhi, and said seriously: "I don't know why, but I just feel that your majesty is kind and approachable, and I feel refreshed when I see you. With the help of God, many thoughts appeared in my mind unconsciously. As for Your Majesty's question, why did I have such insights, I thought about it, but I didn't have any clues, but I guess... it's because of my kindness Bar."

Kind of... good.

In the words of later generations, it means that the genes are strong.

But Emperor Hongzhi choked all of a sudden, and couldn't help coughing desperately, which made the faces of the guards change suddenly.

Afterwards, no matter it was Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao, including Liu Qian, they all looked at Fang Jifan with unbelievable eyes.

In this era of modesty and moderation, how shameless a person must be to be so boastful and promote the strength of his own genes.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhu Houzhao on the side couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he refused to accept: "Nonsense, no matter how good the Fang family's seed is, can it be as good as the dragon seed?"

Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment... Long Zhong... I'll go...

He looked at this young man, and he knew it in his heart. Anyway, his image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The unstable factors of a harmonious society and the cancer hidden among the people, hey...he understands.

In this case, Fang Jifan smiled and relaxed: "Yes, yes, the dragon species is also very powerful, very powerful, and I am a little bit worse than the dragon species."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan speechlessly.

This kid... really... can't be described in words, he is clearly extremely smart, and his strategy of reforming the land and returning to the people really wins my heart, but... something happened that left Emperor Hongzhi speechless.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows again and said: "The dragon species is good, but why do you want to add the word "Ye", the Fang family is just a small earl, dare to say that it is only a little worse than the dragon species?"

Emperor Hongzhi was a father, and a father who doted on his children. He always felt that his son was a little bit stronger than ordinary people. Why was it a little bit? Because he had to be humble. Modesty is a virtue, so every time the ministers praised the prince for being smart When he was smart, although Emperor Hongzhi was at ease in his heart, he would always say, where, where.

But now, looking at the prince’s seriousness, it’s like Zhu Houzhao engraved a few large golden characters on his forehead. These big characters are very powerful, but they are very disharmonious-I am a dragon species, and I am the smartest!

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had an urge to beat his son.

Fang Jifan was also speechless, this little brat, are you annoying? I'm just pretending to be stupid. Do you know the self-cultivation of an actor? I have to show the image of myself as a libertine, why are you joining in the fun?

"Ahem..." Emperor Hongzhi straightened his face and said sharply, "Fang Jifan, you are guilty."

Fang Jifan has a deep understanding of being with a king like a tiger, so he can only say: "I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, and although he remembered Fang Jifan's change of land and return to the people in his heart, he said coldly: "You sell ebony at a high price here, don't you want to rely on Nanhebo Mansion to buy and sell by force and bully the market? I love the people like my son, how can I allow you to be so lawless!"

Fang Jifan was ashamed, he didn't understand why, Wei Wei glanced at Liu Qian secretly from the corner of his eye, and saw Liu Qian looking at Fang Jifan coldly.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is just selling ebony and marked the price. You never bully others. If someone wants to buy it, you can buy it naturally, let alone sell it by force. Your Majesty... Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Emperor Hongzhi still had a cold face, clearly not believing it at all.

Seeing this, Liu Qian interrupted with a smile: "I heard that the market price of ebony is only ten taels of silver. If you buy it for thirteen or four taels of silver, I don't know how many people will rush to sell it. I have never heard of it. , there is a precedent of ebony selling for a hundred taels of silver."

His casual words aroused Emperor Hongzhi's anger even more. You sell one hundred taels of something for ten taels of silver, and you still call it a misunderstanding?

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "I remember the merits of your Fang family ancestors, so I have heard that Fang Jifan is domineering for a long time, so I didn't ask about it. I didn't expect you to get worse. If I don't punish you, I don't know how many people will be killed by you in the future... you……"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please ask me to explain."

"I won't listen!" This guy is smart, but it's a pity...it's just that his character is despicable and he's a bit of a fool.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and wanted to teach Fang Jifan a profound lesson, and was about to speak.

In the distance, there was noise.

It turned out to be a potbellied merchant who wanted to approach, but was stopped by Emperor Hongzhi's guards, who were dressed as ordinary people. The merchant was obviously anxious, so he had a conflict with the guards.

Emperor Hongzhi watched from a distance, and with a thought, he winked at the guard on the side. The guard understood, and hurriedly ordered the merchant to come.

The merchant ran over anxiously, and when he got closer, Fang Jifan remembered him. This man was Wang Jinyuan who bought his ancestral property last time and also helped him buy ebony.

Wang Jinyuan was sweating profusely. He is usually good at observing words and expressions, but today he was very strange.

Fang Jifan said: "Ebony... ebony... this ebony, fifty taels a piece, as much as you want, Young Master Fang, I want all of your ebony."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Isn't it said that ebony is only worth ten taels of silver? Why in the blink of an eye, someone is rushing to buy it for fifty taels of silver? He didn't believe that this was Fang Jifan's 'entrustment', because Fang Jifan was always by his side, and his every move was under his nose.

Wang Jinyuan's eyes were red, as if he was crazy. News came from Tongzhou that dozens of ebony ships had sunk. You must know that the ships transporting ebony had extremely deep drafts, and if they were transported by river, they would easily run aground. A special official ship was transported by sea, along the coast, all the way from Nantongzhou to Tianjinwei, and then entered the canal, and sent to Beitongzhou. The place where the ebony boat sank was near the mouth of the sea, and suddenly encountered a strange wind , dozens of ships, nothing left, all of them sank to the bottom of the sea, and there was no hope of salvage.

This ebony is not easy to come by, and the capital is the main force of ebony consumption. Merchants in Jiangnan provinces usually transport the collected ebony to the capital every one or two years. Now the ebony in Beijing is almost all taken by Fang Jifan. For the acquisition, there are not many sources of goods on the market, and this shipwreck means that in the next one or two years, or even a few years, ebony will be priceless.

After all, ebony is a luxury among luxury goods, and it is not easy to collect. However, under the shortage, the demand for ebony among the nobles in Beijing will never decrease. What is an aristocrat? What is a giant? That is to only buy the most expensive ones, and never use other wood to make up for it. This...is a matter of face.

Hearing the news, he immediately keenly realized that the skyrocketing price of ebony was ready to go, this... ebony... was about to turn the sky upside down.

The only source of goods I can think of now is Fang Jifan. Besides, there is no other semicolon. If I can buy a large amount of ebony from Fang Jifan when the news spreads and the supply starts to become scarce, I... I am afraid I will get rich.

He looked at Fang Jifan nervously: "Fifty taels...Young Master Fang, how many do you have? How much does the villain want? Silver...The villain can raise money. The villain has a cloth shop, a field, and two houses in the capital. If it is still not enough, you can join other friends to raise money and food, fifty taels..."

Fang Jifan was ecstatic, the ship sank... the ship sank...

But when he heard fifty taels, he suddenly lost interest.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Look at the flag I'm hanging."

Wang Jinyuan looked at the flag pan and felt a chill in his heart, a hundred... a hundred taels...

It's really dark, this kid, unexpectedly got the news in advance.
