The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1772

[1772. Chapter 1684 Private decision for life]

Seeing Zhu Houzhao’s affectionate and righteous look made Fang Jifan relieved.

There’s nothing you can do about it. If your family is big and your business is big, you have to have some insurance.

Fang Jifan invited Zhu Houzhao to have a good meal that day.

Zhu Houzhao is still easy to feed, as long as he has beef.

This comforted Fang Jifan a little.

While he was having a great time eating, Fang Jifan was sneaking around and looking worried.

Zhu Houzhao finally couldn’t help but said: “Old Fang, why don’t you even feel happy eating today?”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Nothing… I’m just thinking about what to eat for the next meal.”

Zhu Houzhao then chirped and hummed: “Eat. During this meal, I was thinking about the next meal, what would you like? What should I eat for the next meal?”

He began to think deeply, and then he frowned slightly and started to feel melancholy.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan cheered up and immediately called Wang Jinyuan.

Wang Jinyuan happily ran to see the young master and saluted: “Young Master…”

Fang Jifan stepped forward and raised his hand to fight.

Wang Jinyuan stretched out his face with a playful smile: “Master, please be gentle, don’t break your hand.”

So Fang Jifan’s hand was hanging in the air, and he was a little unable to do it, so he had to take his hand back and said behind his back: “I’ve been busy these days .

What?”

Wang Jinyuan said with a smile on his face: “It’s still a matter of the bank. Nine out of ten gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been sent to Luzon. As for the others, it is irrelevant. Nowadays, a lot of land is in the hands of the bank. The remaining land has plummeted in response, and the villain took this opportunity to continue buying. The land price is no longer worth a penny, but there is no way to survive. Master, don’t you think so? There are also places in the southwest…and Hexi…”

Fang Jifan He nodded with satisfaction, clenched his fists, and said with great ambition: “You are right, I want them all!”

Fang Jifan then added: “I have to tell you one thing, the money from Xishan Bank can be mobilized when it can be mobilized… Collect more stocks on the exchange. Of course, our Fang family also needs to find ways to raise a sum of money. To be precise, we should take as much as we can and also buy some good stocks. You can decide on your own. Wang

Jinyuan was stunned and said in confusion: “Master, although it is imperative to have a standing army now and many related stocks are rising, the benefits are limited after all. There has not been much good news recently. So, Mobilizing a lot of funds, is this… a bit too risky? “

Wang Jinyuan has studied the exchange deeply after all.

Nowadays, anyone who is doing business will not study this.

Not to mention a businessman, but a man on the streets, anyone could tell that he was an ugly person, and that he would take advantage of all the profits when he came to visit him, such as profit, or building a position…

Fang Jifan saw Wang Jinyuan’s worried look.

This is actually understandable.

Wang Jinyuan’s level is not bad, and now is indeed not a good time to buy stocks.

After all…many workshops are entering the market, and many businesses are listed. There are many workshops and businesses listed, but the funds entering the exchange are limited, so…it is no longer like it used to be, just randomly selling a stock, and the funds If you add a lot of money, it will rise sharply.

Nowadays, this exchange is relatively stable, and the trading volume is relatively stable. Although there are profits, thanks to the growth of the market, these profits are indeed not a minority for ordinary people and merchants, but for a behemoth like Xishan , but it is just a small profit, not worth mentioning.

To put it bluntly, when banks use money to lend money, the profit is not this amount.

As for the Fang family… a large amount of funds have now been transferred to Huangjinzhou, and it’s all wasted money.

In Golden Continent, the clans also have vassal states, but their vassal states are…poor, and the number of refugees and immigrants they can attract is really limited.

But Qilu was different. The large population gathering had begun to generate commerce. The fundamental reason was that the vassal kings were all paupers, but the Fang family had money, so they purchased a large amount of money and sent it to Qilu.

Qilu’s massive construction requires labor, and labor requires a lot of manpower. The gathering of manpower is not just about farming, so… merchants also began to gather, which requires ports. With ports, commerce and trade will be more developed. More merchants appeared, bringing new prosperity. As the population grew, local demand began to increase, so… some workshops that were satisfied with immigrants also began to appear. These workshops were initially small in scale, but needed to hire workers. , so… with the increasing number of immigrants, the more people there are, the greater the demand, and the number of workshops and employment is also growing like a snowball.

In the entire Golden Continent, Qilu was the most attractive to the population, like a huge black hole, so much so that many of the people from other vassals who followed the vassal kings also began to flee to Qilu.

In this regard, many clan members have written to complain, but this is of no avail. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and everyone is not stupid. It took you a year and a half to file a complaint, but the three generations of the Fang family’s dog are still here. Without a fuel-efficient lamp, someone else’s evil hand will be in front of you in the blink of an eye.

Fang Jinglong, the king of Xinjin County, recovered from his illness and arrived in Qilu to continue to take charge. Fang Jifan’s son, that little bitch Fang Zhengqing, led an army of troops to train in Qilu, practicing day and night, sharpening their swords.

The Fang family’s funds are closely related. The sudden withdrawal of funds now really puzzles Wang Jinyuan.

After all… it would be profitable to pool funds with Qilu.

Fang Jifan glanced at Wang Jinyuan and grimaced: “If you are asked to do it, you will do it well for me. If you dare to be nagging again, I will beat you to death.”

Young Master Fang is often unreasonable.

In fact… as a time traveler, Fang Jifan likes this state.

Some things are really difficult to understand based on their IQs. Instead of explaining them painstakingly and spending time, it is better to… use a straightforward method.

Wang Jinyuan suddenly trembled. After following Fang Jifan for so long, he knew very well the power of the young master’s words. The young master said he would beat you to death, and he would not discount it.

Wang Jinyuan’s face straightened up and he said without hesitation: “I’ll do it right away.”

Fang Jifan was then satisfied.

After returning home, the news this time was too shocking, and the Fang family needed to plan carefully.

The prince finally ascended the throne once, just like a big girl getting into a sedan chair. If he ascends the throne again, it will be worthless if he does it a second time.

When they arrived at the house, they saw Fang Tianci being held by his mother, and Fang Tianci was crying.

Fang Jifan raised his eyebrows and said, “Where is Your Highness?”

RU’s mother greeted Fang Jifan and said, “There was a dispute with a child in the nursery. Your Highness went to have a look.”

Fang Jifan nodded and looked at Fang Tianci, whose face was filled with tears.

Fang Tianci is four years old and was originally in a nursery. However, he had a fever in the past two days, so he was kept at home.

Fang Tianci wanted to go to the nursery, but his mother was not there, so he cried so hard that it hurt his lungs, as if even the tiles in the house were shaking.

Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, looked at Fang Tianci, stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, showed a kind smile, and said: “Okay, don’t cry, dad will take you to a fun place.”

Fang Tianci still had tears in his eyes. , the mucus flowed out of his nose, and before RU’s mother could wipe it, he reached for his sleeve and wiped it, his face turned pale, he opened his eyes and looked at Fang Jifan curiously.

Fang Jifan said excitedly: “Good boy, my dear son, I love you as a father, and I will show you something interesting tomorrow.”

Fang Tianci met Fang Jifan’s piercing eyes, which were even more suspicious, but seemed… again I am a little more eager to try it, and it seems that… my interest is beginning to grow.

…

Zhu Houzhao arrived at the camp and still presided over the drills. Speaking of which… Fang Jifan has been running here frequently since he made contributions to the First Army.

This made Zhu Houzhao very happy, and Lao Fang finally stopped being lazy.

Early this morning, Fang Jifan came on a big horse. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, who was lying on the document and writing a self-criticism, Fang Jifan said: “Your Highness, Your Highness… look what I brought you.”

He mentioned He was carrying a small baggage, and when the baggage was shaken open, there were buns one by one.

There were no steamed buns in this era, but there was yeast. Fang Jifan asked the cook to make them and stuff them with meat.

Zhu Houzhao said: “I just ate it, but…it’s rare that I still miss you…”

As he said that, he picked up the buns and started to eat them. He said: “This time of suppressing the rebellion on the campus is of course a major event.” “

We won, but we have also discovered some problems that cannot be ignored. I am looking for these problems. Please pay more attention to them in the future. Old Fang, why do you look so sad again?”

Fang Jifan said melancholy: “It’s really annoying. Tianci is in poor health and cries all the time. He is not as manly as his father, Chen. This child looks like his mother.”

Zhu Houzhao immediately muttered: “How can he be like his mother? He is obviously like you.”

Fang Jifan said: “Not like his mother, but also like his mother-in-law. As you said, the child will follow his mother-in-law.”

“That’s nonsense.” Zhu Houzhao put down the buns and widened his eyes: “Even if he is like his mother-in-law, but I Look at God’s gift. Is he in bad health? It must be because you don’t know how to raise a child… Feeding this child is not easy. How can it be so easy…”

Fang Jifan blinked: “Why is it not easy?”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something, but for a long time, his mind was confused. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only groan and said: “You don’t understand even if you tell me, when it comes to raising children, I have many children…”

Fang Jifan sighed: “But Tianci is a man, I’m afraid… Your Highness really understands?”

“Why don’t you understand? Bring Tianci here, and I will talk to you.”

Fang Jifan rolled his eyes and immediately curled up his hands in the shape of a trumpet: “Quickly, bring my son Tianci in. Come on, come in and worship as a teacher. From now on, I will be a teacher for one day and a father for life…”

The words trailed off.

Outside, RU’s mother hurriedly came in, holding a confused Fang Tianci…

Fang Tianci blinked in confusion, still looking sleepy.

Probably…the message coming out of the eyes is…who am I…where am I?
