The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1773

[1773. Chapter 1685 It’s your turn to get rich]

All of this was obviously done intentionally by Fang Jifan.

Things happened so suddenly that Zhu Houzhao was confused.

Accepting his nephew as a disciple… this…

has come…

Fang Tianci performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and Zhu Houzhao had to hold his nose and admit it.

Fang Jifan watched from the side, already happy.

Fang Tianci is Zhu Houzhao’s nephew, and he will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

But… obviously this is not safe.

This is not to say that Fang Jifan thought that Zhu Houzhao would be mean and unkind after he became emperor.

Rather, the concept of relatives of the emperor and disciples of the emperor are different.

The former is inheritance by blood; while the latter is inheritance by concept.

The former can guarantee that Fang Tianci will be prosperous and wealthy throughout his life. This is true.

But the latter can ensure that Fang Tianci becomes the spokesperson of the emperor in the eyes of the world. All his actions are to some extent the result of the emperor’s words and deeds. If anyone thinks that there is something wrong with Fang Tianci, some kind of The extent is to question the emperor.

On the surface, there seems to be no similarity or difference between the two, but in fact the difference is huge.

For example, if you don’t like someone, or because someone said something that made you unhappy, and you call him a bastard, if this person has a biological uncle who is the current emperor, then… you will be scolded if you scold him. Well, are there any relatives of the Ming Dynasty who are not scolded?

But if this person is a disciple of the emperor, and you scold him, the meaning has changed, because you dislike him because of his words and deeds. Where do his words and deeds come from? Of course it was the emperor who taught him, so…

if you call him a bastard, it will inevitably be thought that you are referring to Sang and Huai with other ulterior motives.

Fang Jifan is a very clear-headed person. The bigger the family fortune, the greater the responsibility and the more careful he must be.

There are many people in the world who are favored by the palace, but such people are too dazzling and will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

To deal with these dissatisfied people, in addition to intimidating them with fear, they also need to be firmly tied to the palace to make themselves invincible forever.

Zhu Houzhao’s face turned red and he took in his nephew. He will have the responsibility of teaching him in the future. This is an unshirkable responsibility, but for Zhu Houzhao, this is actually not a difficult task.

The crux of the problem is…Lao Fang doesn’t play by common sense.

At this time, Fang Jifan even had a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile: “Your Highness, from today on, my son will be entrusted to Your Highness. Your Highness is very talented and knowledgeable. With Your Highness’s guidance, I will feel relieved. From now on, if the child is disobedient, His Highness will be beaten when necessary and scolded when necessary. There is no need to be polite. “

Fang Tianci felt miserable and trembling. He was a little afraid of this uncle. He was even more frightened when he heard that he would be beaten again.

What do you mean… I was given away by my father?

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, “You follow me all day long? Isn’t it inappropriate to be such a baby?”

Fang Jifan shook his head happily and said seriously, “Teaching by words and deeds, I most hope that my son can become like your highness.” After saying

this

, Zhu Houzhao felt a little relieved: “Well, it doesn’t matter to me. After all, he is my nephew. This is natural.”

Without saying anything, Fang Jifan took out a stack of one hundred taels of banknotes from his sleeve. He stuffed it into Zhu Houzhao’s hand, with a smile on his face: “This is a gift for Xiu, it’s a small gift, please accept it with your Majesty’s approval.”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the extra things in his hand, and had no time to count the treasures, so he immediately Put it in your arms.

It’s really pie in the sky, there are such good things in the world.

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan: “I heard that your Fang family made some moves on the exchange?”

Fang Jifan immediately said: “Actions? Your Highness said that I purchased some stocks?”

“More than just a few!” Zhu Houzhao said seriously He said: “I heard that there is a large amount of money. What happened?”

Fang Jifan smiled and said: “Your Highness, it’s not really a big deal. It’s just that I had a dream and said it was in line with the needs of the Fang family. To make a fortune, after thinking about it, there is no better way to make a fortune than buying stocks. Is

Your Highness also interested?” Zhu Houzhao looked uncertain on his face and said in deep thought: “I do have a lot of money in my hands now. It’s really not easy…” When talking about the difficulty, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be thinking about his past poverty.

“Can you really make money? If you tell me the truth, I won’t bother to ask you why. If you say you can make money, I will invest all the money in it.”

“Yes!” Fang Jifan replied loudly.

Zhu Houzhao smiled happily: “That’s good, then I won’t be polite.”

Fang Jifan was very confident about this!

As for Zhu Houzhao, he was very confident about his successor.

There is no one better than Lao Fang when it comes to making money in this world.

Fang Jifan said a few words and left in a hurry.

Fang Tianci looked at his uncle in bewilderment, wanting to cry and call his father back, but even though he was young and ignorant, Fang Tianci still had a feeling that his father seemed to regard him as his father. Zuo was thrown to his maternal uncle like a hot potato!

There was grievance on his face and tears in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and waved to him: “Come here, I will teach you a lesson first.”

Fang Tianci stepped forward tremblingly.

“I will teach you the first truth. This truth… was said by your father. It took me a long time to understand it, and I finally found out that it is a wise saying. Since you have learned from me, I will never hide my secrets. You have learned This, then… I have learned half of the world’s knowledge.”

Fang Tianci: “…”

“Stretch out your hand.”

Fang Tianci hesitated for a while and stretched out his hand.

Zhu Houzhao immediately grabbed his wrist with one hand without sympathy, and threw it down hard with the other hand.

Snapped!

A slap hit Fang Tianci’s palm.

Fang Tianci was confused again, his little hands hurt a little, and he was hesitating whether he should cry or not.

But Zhu Houzhao asked with a straight face: “Does it hurt?”

Fang Tianci thought for a while and nodded.

“It hurts.” Zhu Houzhao said with a fierce look: “Why do you feel pain? Because you are still a child, and I am your elder, and I am stronger than you. If I hit you, I will hit you, and you will be beaten.” , if you feel pain, you have to bear it, so… this principle is… if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Throughout the dynasties, since ancient times, no matter whether it is a family, a country, or a person, they cannot escape these six words. In history, The strong are respected and show off their power, while the weak are humiliated and live in trembling fear. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there are as many Hu people as there are recorded in history, but… where have they gone now? Is there any trace of them? The foundation of my great Han Dynasty has never been the so-called courtesy and integrity mentioned in the books, but strength! Therefore, if you are strong, you can occupy the most fertile land in the world, and the barbarians will not be obedient. Those who obey will be punished. The country and the country are like this, and so are the people. If you understand this, remember this for me. You learn your skills not because your father asked you to learn them, but because you learned them. You can be a strong person, and becoming a strong person does not teach you to bully others, but it means that you will not have to suffer this humiliation from now on! Okay, don’t cry, wipe your tears, and I will take you to slaughter a cow tomorrow! , let you know where your daily fine clothes and food come from. In the future, you will have to learn arithmetic, riding and shooting, sculpture, art of war, new learning, medicine, and mechanics. If you can’t learn it, I will take care of you as a teacher. “

Fang Tianci:”…”

…

Zhu Houzhao is a very serious person.

If he is not interested in anything, no one can force him to do it. But once he decided to study hard, he realized all his potential.

While teaching the children, Zhu Houzhao asked a slave from the East Palace to come and give him face-to-face instructions, take the private bank of the East Palace, and purchase stocks on a large scale.

This exchange has been a backwater recently.

After all…the market has gradually stabilized, and big ups and downs are no longer possible.

Because of this, this large-scale capital investment visible to the naked eye immediately caused a storm.

So many people began to blindly follow the trend.

This is a reasonable thing. Big money enters the market and everyone drinks soup together.

Therefore… the exchange has become a lot more lively recently, many people have come, and many stocks have begun to rise.

It’s just…

I thought that after the surge in response, there would be a wave of good news.

In fact… people found that even so, there didn’t seem to be many good things.

Nowadays, it has become fashionable to invest money in various businesses and workshops. Not only can you make profits from it, but those workshops and businesses that have obtained a large amount of funds can use this money to expand their business territory. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. .

Therefore, ordinary people will buy and sell some, and merchants are also willing to invest their money.

Even those officials in the court began to slowly accept this habit.

There are some idle yamen, which usually have nothing to do. Especially after the start of the New Deal, they become even more leisurely. Since they have nothing to do and see others making a lot of money, which makes people jealous, they naturally like to get together to chat about exchange profits. .

This matter has been very hot recently, and many people even came to the Hanlin Academy to inquire about Wang Bushi.

After all, Wang Bushi is extraordinary. Now everyone is willing to believe in him. Bachelor Wang can help everyone make a fortune.

Wang Bushi has naturally been paying attention to this wave of changes for a long time. With such a huge amount of funds, there are very few people left in Beijing who can mobilize this amount except himself.

So…who is the person behind the scenes? Wang Bushi can figure it out even with his toes.

The stock price has started to rise.

People started talking about it and then followed suit.

It can be seen that there is no good news at all. There is only thunder but no rain, but it makes people vigilant.

“Scholar Wang, what do you think of this?”

The speaker was Liu Jing, the minister of Taichang Temple who went to the Hanlin Academy. Liu Jing also wore big sunglasses and a gold chain around his neck, but this gold The chain is a bit thin and not very decent.
