"Caomin has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor."

This young master is very excited.

Suleiman smiled: "You have worked hard this time. It doesn't mean that it takes half a year to come here from Beijing. Why did Qing's family only arrive in April?"

"It's urgent, I'm here to report to the emperor." The young master said.

Suleiman saw that he was busy in the world, and knew that something big was going to happen.

At this time, the young master looked around, showing a nervous expression.

Suleiman raised his eyes and looked at the courtiers and scholars who were waiting on his side, and smiled: "They are all my confidantes, and I trust them like I trust my own brothers and feet. You don't have to worry about it, just speak up if you have something to say."

The courtiers and scholars at the side were all dressed in Lun Jin Confucian shirts. After hearing these words, although their faces were calm, deep in their eyes, they couldn't help showing gratitude.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is worthless, but Osman came to receive such courtesy, they can feel Suleiman's sincere care for them, whether it is the art of imperial servants, or Suleiman's sincerity , in their minds, the Holy King should be like this.

The Shaodong family coughed and said, "Emperor Daming, granted the Fang family a piece of land, right at the foot of the emperor, with a radius of ten miles. Although it is small, it broke the rules."

Suleiman still smiled: "I know about this matter."

Almost every few days, someone from Daming came to report what happened to Daming. Ten days earlier, Suleiman knew about this matter, and because of this, he knew the entire Ming Dynasty like the back of his hand.

The Shaodong family said: "But the problem is that after the decree was made, Fang Jifan immediately started the construction project. Within that fief, he wanted to invest millions of dollars to build countless mansions. Your Majesty, this Fang Jifan's move, Apparently...the target is targeted, not only that, but the grassroots also inquired about a piece of news that Xishan seems to hope that with these projects, the price of the land will be raised, and then...the mansion will be sold...for military expenses."

all of a sudden……

Suleiman's face sank slightly.

He wasn't nervous at all about the land sale ahead, after all...every few days, the Fang's family sold the land with the most news. The southeast of the new city was developed and the land was sold. The day after tomorrow, Tianjin Wei will set up a port, and the land will be sold near the port. And then again... The Fang family was no longer satisfied with building a railway and selling land, but with a blueprint of a plan, they were able to sell the land and the mansion.

But the following words made Suleiman vigilant.

In order to fund military expenses!

Ming has begun to set up a standing army.

This is obviously the same as the Ottoman Imperial Guard. Suleiman has long seen the corruption of the guard system, so he is quite vigilant about the standing army.

Of course, he also knew that the biggest obstacle for the Ming Dynasty to set up a standing army was that their treasury could not support it, and now...Fang Jifan actually wanted to assist the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to raise military funds by developing the Fang family fiefdom.

Suleiman squinted his eyes, stroked the case, and said with extra vigilance: "The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very happy. Although he has the appearance of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he builds railways everywhere, expands his armaments, and shows off his might, but these are not things that the Ming court can afford. But Fang Jifan... If he can raise military funds for the Ming court, then the standing army of the Ming Dynasty will definitely expand. I have seen their firearms. Although I asked you to bring the blueprints for smelting, I also secretly invited some craftsmen to come. , but it is not easy to completely imitate them. Now if they add military horses and hold firearms, sooner or later it will be a serious problem for my Qin confidant. I want to rule the world, sage inside and king outside, how can I allow this hungry tiger to sleep soundly under my couch? Do you think Fang Jifan can succeed in this way?"

All the scholars and courtiers whispered.

They knew everything about Fang Jifan, Zhu Houzhao, and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jifan’s tricks have already been studied by hundreds of scholars in the Imperial Academy of Ottoman. Not to mention that Fang Jifan started to go to the house at the age of five, such as when to peep at people taking a bath, and how to sell the house , has long been analyzed clearly.

After the discussion, one person stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that it is impossible to sell at a high price just by investing a large amount of money. I know that piece of land is some distance away from the new city. The most important thing is What is more interesting is that there is a lot of idle land here. Once such a huge amount of land is pushed into the market, how can it be a rare commodity to live in? Fang Jifan... is obviously crazy about money. Before building a school, a theater, and a medical school, all It was to sell the house, but this time he still wants to repeat the old trick, I'm afraid..."

Others nodded one after another.

The Fang family's house selling routine is no longer a secret, and according to their knowledge of the capital, it is absolutely impossible.

Suleiman seemed worried, but everyone agreed, so he looked at the young owner: "What do you think of Desheng Company?"

"Your Majesty, when Caomin came, my father told me that he had visited the piece of land in person. The investment in Xishan was huge, and the cost was astonishing. However, Chenzhuang...is really not worth much. My father once inquired about it in private. The people in Beijing and others have no interest in Chen Zhuang. Even if Daming built another palace in Chen Zhuang, no one would buy it, so it can be seen...Fang Jifan repeats his old tricks, and it is extremely difficult to succeed."

"That's good." Suleiman smiled, and finally let go of his vigilance.

He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings.

After all, a person who has tasted the sweetness of selling a house will inevitably want to continue selling it, after all, it is always fun to sell it.

It's no surprise that Xishan used this as a means of making money.

But Fang Jifan was blinded by his interests, and he still wanted to do this, but he succeeded once, but it didn't mean he could succeed the second time.

Suleiman thought for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, we still need to be more careful. If there is any progress, report it immediately."

At this time... but someone said: "Your Majesty, I have a message."

The one who spoke... was the great Confucian Li Zheng.

Li Zheng's name was well-known in Daming, but now he has entered Ottoman and received preferential treatment from Suleiman.

Suleiman glanced at him and said gently, "What do you want to say, sir?"

Li Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, Xishan wants to develop Chenzhuang. May I ask your Majesty, what should I do if I find that the cost cannot be recovered in the middle?"

Suleiman was taken aback.

Li Zhengdao: "At that time, Xishan will definitely have strong men sever their wrists, take back the gold and silver that flowed in, and stop the loss in time. Your Majesty knows that this Xishan is as rich as an enemy country. If the loss is stopped in time, naturally it will not hurt Xishan. But if……"

Li Zheng showed a somewhat meaningful expression, and continued: "What if Your Majesty regards the development of Chenzhuang as the construction of the Grand Canal by Emperor Sui Yang?"

Suleiman seemed to have come to his senses: "The Qing family will continue talking."

Li Zhengdao: "Then... only if Xishan continuously invests gold and silver into Chenzhuang, and invests in a useless project, this... will be of great benefit to His Majesty in the future. Therefore, my advice is that no matter whether it is successful or not No, His Majesty can't just sit idly by, but should do something. Since this Chenzhuang is hard to succeed at all, then...what Your Majesty should do is to let Fang Jifan see the hope of success, and continue to invest in it."

Suleiman's eyes lit up, and he said, "How can we make Xishan continuously invest?"

"This matter is easy to hear." Li Zheng saw that Suleiman was interested in this, and his face was flushed.

To be honest, when he came to Ottoman, he has always been treated with courtesy by Suleiman. Not to mention the mansion, he even prepared a few concubines. He always felt that he deserved it. it's time.

Li Zheng said briefly: "We have also mastered a lot of business houses and wealth in Daming, and even the caravans stationed by His Majesty in the capital are quite impressive. Your Majesty might as well use his plan and send people to create momentum and buy a number of mansions. Seeing this, Fang Jifan felt that there was a lot to do, and he was bound to be more confident. In this way, the development of Chenzhuang must continue to increase greatly. Other businessmen and civilians were inevitably deceived by seeing this, and they came to Chenzhuang to buy properties."

"So, wouldn't this encourage the development of Chenzhuang and make it successful?"

"But a lot of land and mansions are in the hands of His Majesty." Suleiman said: "Your Majesty, do you remember how Fang Jifan used tulip seeds to extract the wealth of Francine people? As long as the land and mansions in your Majesty's hands There are enough mansions, the price has increased, His Majesty’s wealth has greatly increased, and when the necessary time comes, His Majesty will sell all of them with an order. How can Xishan let the land price plummet, and he must desperately stabilize the market, and when that time comes... Your Majesty is crazy suck their gold and silver, and squeeze them dry."

Suleiman said in surprise: "Sir, you are a great talent. I only knew that you are proficient in classics and righteousness. I never expected that you are also proficient in economics."

Li Zheng looked pale and stroked his beard: "Your Majesty, I am not talented, but... I just know a little bit about "The Wealth of Nations". The hall of elegance is far inferior to the kingly way that His Majesty practiced. But it is enough to deal with villains like Fang Jifan."

Suleiman was moved.

This move...can greatly weaken Daming, and at the same time, Osman can also reap huge profits from it.

He now also needs a lot of gold and silver to carry out his reforms, so Suleiman was silent for a moment: "Then, sir, please go back to Daming to take charge of this matter. Silver, I should support it myself, and those commercial firms that I use can also be controlled by Mr.

The Confucian scholars were suddenly in an uproar.

His Majesty the Emperor has no doubts about employing people, and he does not use doubtful people, yet...he has so much trust in a foreign minister.

It's worth it to be able to work for such an emperor.

Not like that dog emperor of Ming Dynasty!
