The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1796

[1796. Chapter 1708 One Emperor through the Ages]

the Ages If another emperor is called a dog emperor, he will inevitably become furious.

But when Zhu Houzhao heard his uncle yelling at him, he actually crossed his arms and beamed with joy, as if he was waiting for Zhang Heling to scold him.

Then, he immediately shouted: “What a betrayal. I had good intentions to make you rich, but you actually called me a dog. It seems that you want to rebel. It is really unreasonable. Old Fang, what should I do with this rebellion?”

Fang Jifan put his palms together and said: An action like cutting a watermelon: “Exterminate the three tribes, except the Queen Mother.” Do

you think you can scare the Shouning Marquis in one go?

Of course it’s impossible!

Zhang Heling was still cursing. He stiffened his neck and raised his chin: “If you don’t have any money, kill them all. Come on, kill them all if you can. I will die here today. My corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces and pierced by thousands of arrows.” Even if you chop your heart into pieces and feed it to the dogs, you won’t frown. If you want money, I’ll give you a hundred taels. If you don’t want it, you’ll get nothing!”

Zhang Yanling was so frightened that she burst into tears and kept banging her head on the ground. .

Zhu Houzhao was very happy: “It seems that not only will the head be executed, but the house will also be ransacked. Lao Fang, I have issued an order to order the Jin Yiwei to do it.” The words “

raid… house raid”

obviously have different meanings.

Zhang Heling’s face suddenly changed, and he suddenly changed his tone of voice and said: “I invest, I invest! Your Majesty, I invest. How much you want to invest, Your Majesty will tell you.”

“Ten million! One penny less, I’ll skin you.”

Zhang Heling felt that he was in a mess at this time, and his clever mind had nowhere to escape.

He thought in his mind that he should stabilize His Majesty first and then go back to complain to Queen Mother Zhang.

Zhu Houzhao stretched out a finger.

“Oh my God!” Zhang Yanling shouted, almost fainting, and said feebly: “That’s one million taels?”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: “Wrong, ten million taels!”

Zhang Yanling, who was nearly unconscious, heard this Ten million, suddenly he woke up again, and shouted again: “Oh my God, ten million taels…” His voice broke.

Zhang Heling already felt that his heart ached, very painful.

Zhu Houzhao, with his hands behind his back, said with great ambition: “I have thought about it. If I want to do it, I will do something big. The railway maintains the national economy and people’s livelihood. It is of great importance. If it is not repaired, I will have trouble sleeping and eating every day. So not only must it be repaired, but also it must be repaired.” Construction started in various places at the same time. The Zhang family paid out 10 million taels. Here in Xishan, there was also 10 million taels. In addition, I tried to find a way to transfer some from the internal funds. Five million taels are necessary. There are kings who are not official, and other wealthy businessmen, who can get the best and who can’t, so I won’t care about it. There are also various princes and princes. Calculating it like this, raising 30 to 50 million taels should not be a problem. With this amount, the initial funds will be sufficient. After that, we will issue some railway bonds and raise tens of millions of taels. In this way… all the provinces in the world will build railways, and you are my relatives. Even the royal family, if you don’t take the money, who will take it? This is your investment. If the railway makes money in the future, you will benefit from it. In addition… Lao Fang has already thought of ways to make money for the railway. For example, converting the land at various stations for civil and commercial use, and… how to enhance freight, in short… you will never lose money, if you do, you can contact Lao Fang. “

Fang Jifan immediately said: “Don’t worry, this matter. Son, he is my favorite student. Chang Wei of the Engineering Academy personally presided over it. This person stood out in the Engineering Academy. When the new city was built, he had experienced it. From then on, he was in charge of the Baoding Railway. With him, there would never be any If there is any problem, go to him. If there is a loss or budget problem, go to him. If you break his legs, I will never frown. “

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling .

Then he started crying again, feeling that something important was suddenly missing from his life.

Zhang Heling had already burst into tears: “Your Majesty, this is my root, this is my root.”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: “Don’t cry, don’t cry, this is business, why are you here? It’s like I’m robbing you.” The money seems to be worth it, if you cry again, you will really lose it!”

These words are obviously very powerful.

The crying in the palace suddenly stopped.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao feel that there was no more noise. He sighed, looked at Fang Jifan and said, “Old Fang, what did the medical school say?”

Fang Jifan said understandingly: “The female doctors said that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood because she missed the emperor. If you are depressed, you should take good care of yourself in the harem. These days, everyone in the women’s hospital is serving the Queen Mother. From today to the next few months, there will be no one outside the palace, not even the Queen Mother.”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang with a smile. Brothers: “That’s right. I’m also very worried about the Queen Mother. I decree that no one is allowed to enter the harem without permission. Anyone who dares to go will have their home confiscated.”

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling: “…”

So…

the Zhang family all contributed money. .

The news spread like wildfire.

People began to marvel.

In this capital, most of the officials left, and the vacancies were quickly filled by newly promoted officials.

After all, Ouyang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has been in office for many years, and has already been well aware of the official vacancies and the capabilities of the officials in the capital. Someone has filled the vacancies, and the capital has also stopped. Some people are even grateful, because…

if the emperor had not gone to the Golden Continent , if His Highness the Crown Prince had not ascended the throne, where would it be his turn?

It can be seen that… to a certain extent, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats may not have deep hatred, but their colleagues are naked hatred.

His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and everyone is guessing what the first thing His Majesty will do.

Because… this can determine the emperor’s temperament and know what is the most important priority for the court next.

But when the railway construction edict was issued, everyone understood.

The top priority of this new dynasty is to build railways.

All of a sudden, the exchange went crazy again, and all stocks related to the railways soared.

The price of iron and wood has risen particularly sharply, and machine workshops everywhere have suddenly become popular.

Xishan Jianye is even more impressive.

This situation frightened Zhu Houzhao.

He couldn’t help grinning, and quickly asked someone to call Fang Jifan: “What’s going on? The price of iron and wood has increased so much. In this project budget, the price has not been calculated to increase so high. In this way, …”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Majesty, please be patient. This is normal. It is understandable that the price is rising now. The original supply of pig iron and wood was not in short supply, but now there are so many projects to be started. How could it not rise? It is precisely because it has risen that it is considered profitable by merchants. If they think there is a big profit, they will look for iron ore like crazy, invest money, recruit people, purchase mining tools, and dig. Without the countless manpower and material resources invested in the production of pig iron, as well as the felling and processing of wood, how can this railway be built? Don’t worry, Your Majesty, this will not be a problem, but will be of great benefit to the construction of future railways.

” His expression softened a little.

“Okay, the people from the Engineering College are all out.”

Fang Jifan said: “They are out. Even the students who have just enrolled for less than half a year are now rushing to various provinces to start exploration. Xishan College plans to recruit more engineering students this year. “Students, the number of positions will be increased by five thousand, otherwise there will be a shortage of manpower.”

“What about the craftsmen and coolies?” Zhu Houzhao asked again.

“We are also trying to recruit people, and Wang Bushi brought a message saying that he is willing to donate 15 million taels of silver for the purpose of building the railway.”

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes lit up, and his face lit up with joy. Hehe said: “Ah, I didn’t expect this bitch to have so much money. How much money does he still have? How about making him the emperor?”

Zhu Houzhao looked forward to Fang Jifan and winked at him. It’s like there are mountains of gold and silver in front of you.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, felt a chill in his heart. Damn it, didn’t this put everyone in danger? If Wang Bushi knew that his “good deeds” did not attract the emperor’s approval, but that the emperor was thinking about his capital, he would definitely not be able to sleep.

So Fang Jifan said patiently: “Your Majesty, there is a saying that fishing is done by exhausting the lake. This king is not an official and is willing to exert such strength, which shows his loyalty to the court and the emperor. He has money, it is his business, nothing can be done too much, but he It’s about donations, but I think it’s not considered a donation, just treat him as a shareholder, and your Majesty can’t just ask for his money.”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that this did make sense.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is a very reasonable person. Of course… the premise is that you must be reasonable.

He said: “Very good, very good. Even if he becomes a shareholder, I admire this king for not being an official. I will find a reason to give him a reward in a few days.”

Fang Jifan finally felt relieved. Look, he was again He has been a good person once and done good deeds for his son again.

Fang Jifan nodded quickly: “Your Majesty is very clear about rewards and punishments, which is very admirable.”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan strangely: “You have always admired my father in the past. Then tell me, it is I who makes you admire, It is your father who admires you more.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Taking a deep breath, Fang Jifan said: “Of course it is your Majesty. Your Majesty is so ambitious that he is the best among dragons.”

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head. The eunuch who was writing in the corner of the palace said: “Write it down, write it down, and keep it in the daily records. One day, when my father comes back from Golden Continent, he will confront him in person.”

Fang Jifan still had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with laughter .

With a taste of disgust: “What I admire most is your majesty’s sincere spirit. The so-called fear of seriousness in everything. With this alone, your majesty can directly pursue Yao and Shun. I even said unceremoniously that my ancestors are Shennong is not as good as His Majesty. Your Majesty has the heart to swallow up the universe and the ambition to swallow up mountains and rivers. No one has ever done it before, and no one will come after him. “
