Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1387 Great Grace

  Emperor Hongzhi began to gear up.

  The happiest thing in the world is to stand up, ah, no, to make money while lying down.

  Under the great benefits, many stocks are bound to be favored.

   It's just a pity...

  Emperor Hongzhi was in such a happy mood, but now he found that no one could share it.

  Looking at Xiao Jing who is like a wooden stake...

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, he had nothing to do with Xiao Jing.

  The master and servant have punished him for so many years and taught him to eat sand in the desert, but in the end, his heart softened.

   Now that Xiao Jing's appearance is empty, Emperor Hongzhi has no choice but to entertain himself.

  …

  Fang Jifan followed the ministers out of Fengtian Hall.

  Liu Jian is in a good mood.

  He paused on purpose, and waited for Fang Jifan to take a few steps forward before walking side by side with Fang Jifan: "Duke Qi, if the Great Ming Banknote is promoted, what benefits will it have?"

   "Can issue more money."

  Liu Jian nodded. This is a good benefit. If you want to buy goods from Western countries, you can get printed.

  Of course, the premise is that it is within the controllable range, otherwise a run will be all over.

"anything else?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Reservoir..."

   "Reservoir?" Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, and asked strangely.

   "Let's make an analogy." Fang Jifan said: "Mr. Liu has a Daming banknote of ten thousand taels of silver, and the monthly expenses are fifty taels. What should I do with the extra treasure banknotes?"

  Liu Jian coughed, raised his head and held his chest out: "Of course it's helping the world, helping those in need."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help looking at Liu Jian contemptuously. This is obviously his own line, okay? This Ming scholar-bureaucrat is really shameless.

  Liu Jian blushed slightly, with an apologetic expression, as if to say, there is no way, the old man was born in the book of sages, and he is also a cabinet minister, so he had no choice but to say so.

Fang Jifan said: "It's wrong, it should be to hide the silver, Mr. Liu, think about it, countless gold and silver in the West were deposited in the bank in Xishan, and finally exchanged for Daming banknotes, but in fact, the treasure banknotes circulating in the market , it must be less than one-tenth of what was actually spent, and the remaining 80 to 90% were all hidden. In this way, the money can be used to carry out large-scale investments in Daming through the bank, such as railways, or... various The bank released so many precious banknotes, but in fact, the price will not fluctuate too much, because the currency circulating in the market is limited, and these privately hidden silver are tantamount to saving money. Pool. Not only the wealthy households need to save, but even the national treasuries of various countries need to save, and the silver they save, to put it bluntly, will eventually be used by Daming."

   "Not to mention, after the currency is unified, it will bring convenience to trade."

   Fang Jifan felt a headache when he explained this by himself. All in all, there are great benefits here, and these benefits are far more than building one or two railways.

  Liu Jian listened carefully, trying to understand, half understanding.

  Liu Jian showed a smile, looked at Fang Jifan and said: "I can see that people like Liu Wenshan have made contributions, old minister... I am very pleased, Qi Guogong, Liu Jie is in Huangjinzhou, but I don't know what to do."

  He asked this, faintly with a sense of peace of mind.

  The disciples are so promising, my son should be fine.

  Fang Jifan said: "Although Liu Jie is ordinary and has mediocre qualifications, but since he is my disciple and grandson, if he wants to come...in Huangjinzhou, he will be fine. Please don't worry, Mr. Liu."

  Liu Jian nodded and nodded. He walked with his hands behind his back, but he was getting older, so he couldn't compare to Fang Jifan's aggressiveness. He thought of something, and lowered his voice: "I heard that His Majesty intends to divide the feudal title."

  Fang Jifan hesitated and said: "Really? Oh, I don't know this."

   "You still say you don't know?" Liu Jian stared at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan smiled coyly: "I don't know much."

   Liu Jian sighed: "Before, Your Majesty has repeatedly asked the accompanying ministers, and also asked the old man, which is better than the county system and the enfeoffment system."

   As he spoke, he took a deep look at Fang Jifan, and then continued: "Duke Qi, if His Majesty asked you this, how would you answer?"

"It's very simple." Fang Jifan talked without thinking, "In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the enfeoffment system was the best, but when the barbarians were wiped out, the world was safe, the roads were smooth, and the government orders were clear, and the system of prefectures and counties was divided. The feudal system is good. The advantage of the enfeoffment system lies in the elimination of barbarians. The clans are divided into four seas and remote borders. In order to survive and eliminate hidden dangers, the clans have to repair the army, overcome obstacles, unite horizontally and vertically, and expand the territory. It can be said Enfeoffment or prefecture or county is better or worse, this... can't be judged as good or bad, but needs to be adjusted to the current situation and local conditions. If you put aside different environments and different times to talk about good and bad, you are not confused. It's pedantic."

  Liu Jian smiled knowingly: "That's right, this answer couldn't be better, and the old man answered in the same way."

He raised his head: "The older I get, the more I feel that the young people are more formidable. Look at you youngsters, these young people, except for you Qi Guogong, all of them are going through life and death for the court and sacrifice their lives for the Xu country. Sometimes, I really envy them. It would be great if the old man was thirty years younger."

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Actually, there is still time, just prepare a few catties of bacon for Shuxiu."

   As he spoke, the person swished and disappeared.

  Fang Jifan left the Meridian Gate alone.

   But outside the Meridian Gate, there was a person kneeling on the ground, but it was the Chenla envoy alone.

  Gu Luozhi looked very depressed, he just bowed at the gate of the palace, raised his eyes and saw someone coming out, he looked familiar, it was Qi Guogong Fang Jifan.

  Of course he had met Fang Jifan.

  Suddenly, like a drowning man grasping at straws, he threw himself at Fang Jifan's feet, and said with a bit of excitement: "Duke Qi, hello, I'm paying respects to Duke Qi, and I salute you."

   This guy was close to Fang Jifan, and his head hit Fang Jifan's calf, which made Fang Jifan's calf very uncomfortable.

  Fang Jifan immediately showed displeasure on his face, he simply raised his leg and kicked it down: "Go away, don't bother me, I don't know you."

  Outside, there were already guards from the Duke of Qi’s mansion waiting for Fang Jifan to come out. As soon as they saw the movement, dozens of people rushed over with their swords.

  Gu Luozhi was also an envoy at any rate, so he didn't expect that the other party would be unreasonable.

  But he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

   He has heard about Duke Qi. This person has a brain disease, which is understandable. After all, who doesn't have a disease?

Enduring the pain, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Duke Qi forgives sins, forgive sins absolutely, my servants are really dead, is Duke Qi's leg injured? Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, your lord does not count the faults of villains. Don't take it to heart."

  Fang Jifan folded his hands behind his back, looking at Lonely Luozhi strangely.

   Originally, he planned to walk away.

   But all of a sudden, he stopped, just as the guards arrived in front of him.

  He waved his hand: "Get out of the way, I want to reason with him!"

  The guards backed away.

  Gu Luozhi looked up at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan said: "What did you just say, adults don't remember villains?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

   "Did you offend me?" Fang Jifan said seriously.

   "This..." Gu Luo hesitated.

   "Well, we don't care about these details, I just want to ask you one thing." Fang Jifan coughed: "Adults don't count villains, who did you hear this nonsense from?"

  Lonely falling branch: "..."

   After a long time, he hesitated and said: "This... this... everyone in Beijing said so."

   "It's their stupidity, it's just ridiculous, that's the thing I hate to hear."

Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, and said earnestly: "Think about it, why do adults count on villains? A person in the upper class has bigger fists, more money, and higher officials than you. He is also a human being. Doesn’t it hurt when someone offends you? So, he insists on ignoring the faults of the lesser ones, whoever offends such a grown-up can’t beat you to death, why should he let him forget the past?”

  Lonely falling branch: "..."

Fang Jifan added: "In other words, the correct understanding should be that the villain ignores the mistakes of the adults. Because even if the adults bully the villain, the villain will start a new life and forget all the unpleasant things. What else can I do, care about it? Can you care about it?"

  Gu Luozhi secretly said that his heart hurts so much, he was about to cry.

  This is an insult to myself and the Chenla Kingdom by beating around the bush.

I and Chenla Kingdom are not just that villain, no one has as big a fist, no one has as much money, no one has as much skill, and the size of a small piece is not enough for Daming to hold. Didn’t the Duke of Qi tell himself that if he is beaten, he should be honest and don’t Thinking about revenge, the more you think about it, the more pain you will suffer in the future, and you will suffer greater revenge, so... you should change your mentality, relax, maintain a happy mood at any time, maintain physical and mental health, start again, and carry forward the past.

   A lonely tear fell down.

   It sounds reasonable.

   It's no wonder that Fang Jifan is so successful in the world. It seems that it makes sense.

At this time, Fang Jifan sighed, and said again: "Of course, I, Fang Jifan, are a man of conscience. I never bully others. I already know about the affairs of Chenla Kingdom. If you want to open up a bit, go home and wash yourself off." , go to sleep, you'd better eat some good wine and good food, and then sleep comfortably, all the unhappiness will be solved, good boy, get out of front of me now, or I will get angry and kill you."

  Lonely falling branch: "..."

  He only paused for a moment, and the desire to survive immediately gained the upper hand.

  Then... without hesitation, he kowtowed to Fang Jifan: "Thank you, Duke Qi, for your teaching."

   After all, Gu Luozhi got up immediately and ran faster than a rabbit. This running speed has reached the professional level.

  Fang Jifan looked at the back that was getting further and further away without blinking, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He just left the palace, and he did another good deed. Doing a good deed every day is really beneficial to the body and mind.

  …

  Thanks to the new leader 'Yan Yun' for the reward, I suddenly feel that the code words are strong, good man.
