The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1822

[1822.Chapter 1733: Seal the Country]

Liu Jian was surprised and said: “These… are all for a purpose?”

“Of course…it’s a matter of money, so don’t worry about it. What they are building are branch lines. Although the cost is not small, But these large commercial banks still have the ability to raise funds. Now we will set the rules, and then everyone will follow the rules. Preliminary verification, exploration, budgeting, and starting of construction… It won’t take long, Mr. Liu, this is the first time. One batch, in the future… there may be a second batch. “I

was very worried before, but I didn’t expect a big surprise. Liu Jian was so happy that he couldn’t help pinching his beard and nodded: “Okay, okay, okay, that’s it. , It’s really reassuring, Duke of Qi… No, the work of Duke Zhen is really reassuring.”

Fang Jifan was not used to the name of Duke of Zhen, so he became particularly humble today: “Gong Liu must not say that, Zheng Guo. Your Majesty is just joking, don’t take it seriously.”

Liu Jian thought to himself, you are also afraid, but he smiled and said: “I heard that Your Majesty still wants to make the Duke of Yan the King of Yan?”

Fang Jifan: “…”

This is a conversation that will kill you!

“Farewell.” Fang Jifan bowed his head, turned around and left.

Now that he was in the palace, there was no reason not to see Zhu Houzhao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao went to the back garden.

Fang Jifan was led by Liu Jin to a garden, where he saw Zhu Houzhao riding a horse, dressed in military uniform, holding a bow and arrow. The horse was as strong as flying, running as fast as lightning, and then… arrows were shot out one after another, all towards a tree trunk.

Zhu Houzhao walked around the tree trunk and shot a pot of arrows. His whole body was dripping with sweat, and then he slowly rode his horse to Fang Jifan and turned over.

He handed the horse to Liu Jin and said: “It is a pity that such a good person cannot go to the battlefield to bend the bow and drink blood. Old Fang, what are you thinking about?”

Fang Jifan said: “I dare not say it.”

” After all.” Zhu Houzhao said happily: “You are innocent.”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty’s riding and shooting have improved a lot, almost comparable to that of my disciple Wang Bo’an.”

Zhu Houzhao’s face suddenly changed. When he came down, his mouth twitched, and then he laughed: “I may not be inferior to him. He is older than me, and he has practiced more intensely than me. I am the emperor, and I am not like him. I have so many leisurely and elegant exercises. Riding and shooting. Okay, don’t talk about it. How’s the railway going

? “Many.”

“How many of them were repaired to Chenjiazhuang…”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to never forget his Chenjiazhuang.

Fang Jifan smiled: “Your Majesty, this…I didn’t look carefully.”

Zhu Houzhao said with emotion: “I borrowed money to buy these lands. So far, although the capital has been returned, I still don’t know what it’s like to make huge profits. , Lao Fang, I am really unwilling to have so much land in my hands. I have been thinking about it, or else I should build a new palace. “

This guy is still thinking about this.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but said: “Your Majesty, if you build a new palace again, the effect will be far less than the original one. In this world, the first person to eat crabs can make huge profits, but those who follow behind can only eat leftovers.” “Zhi, so… I calculated that the cost of this new palace is not low. The increase in land value may not meet expectations, so the benefits are limited.”

“Really?” Zhu Houzhao said depressedly. This thought.

He clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth: “I just want to taste what it’s like to make huge profits.”

Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Houzhao and suddenly said: “Your Majesty, really want to taste it?”

“I think.”

“I have an idea.” Fang Jifan said calmly “It’s just that this idea needs to be implemented, but it requires a decree from His Majesty.”

“Just a decree?” Zhu Houzhao’s eyes lit up.

Fang Jifan said: “It’s…a decree. Your Majesty has given me the Duke of Zhen, but the Duke of Zhen doesn’t even have a fief. It’s really unreasonable. I ask your Majesty to grant Chenjiazhuang land with a radius of five miles.”

“This It’s my land, I spent money to buy it.” Zhu Houzhao was about to jump up.

Fang Jifan said: “But isn’t it all your Majesty’s land with a radius of dozens of miles around here? I only want five miles, and within five miles, it is my fiefdom. The rest of the land, I can guarantee that your Majesty’s land price will be enough.” Increased a hundred times, a thousand times. “

A hundred times… a thousand times…

Zhu Houzhao was shocked.

Too cruel.

Isn’t this even more powerful than when the Daming Palace was built?

But the problem is that… the Daming Palace was built at the beginning, but it cost a lot of money, and I don’t even know how much decoration was done. It even moved the cabinet and six ministries… This old man…

“Five miles away?” Zhu Houzhao asked He raised his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

In the Ming Dynasty, there really was no precedent for enfeoffing the capital, the land under the Emperor’s feet, to a feudal state.

But to Zhu Houzhao, this was nothing.

His vision is far-sighted, and he doesn’t care about this bit of land.

What’s more, Lao Fang is his sister-in-law, and even more so a brother.

He actually had doubts in his heart. How could Lao Fang do it without building a new palace and raising land prices so much?

So Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, looked at Fang Jifan and said, “Whether it is a hundred times or a thousand times, please tell me clearly.”

“Then, let’s say three hundred times.” Fang Jifan calmly stretched out his fingers and gestured.

Zhu Houzhao took a breath of cold air: “Build a railway?”

Fang Jifan shook his head.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Build a theater or a school?”

Fang Jifan continued to shake his head.

It seemed that all the means that Zhu Houzhao could think of had been exhausted. Zhu Houzhao could not imagine how to achieve such huge benefits.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: “Five miles is too little. I give Qing’s family a radius of ten miles. All the land nearby is in my hands. I’m not worried. But Old Fang… you must mean what you say. If you can’t do it, then you’re in trouble, your girl Fang Xiaofan… I actually liked her, so I used her to make amends…”

Fang Jifan’s eyes widened, and he was about to have a seizure.

But he heard Zhu Houzhao continue: “When the time comes, let her go to the East Palace and be my daughter-in-law.”

Fang Jifan wiped his sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

Zhu Zaimo is the prince now, and Fang Jifan has always liked this child. Although his sister married the prince, he seems to be shorter, but at least… this is not a bad marriage.

Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but said: “Old Fang, why are you wiping your sweat?”

Fang Jifan said casually: “I thought…”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly understood.

“Bah!” Zhu Houzhao spat at Fang Jifan and said righteously: “You filthy-minded beast!”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Zhu Houzhao is a person who does what he says.

He really wanted to know what method Fang Jifan would use to increase the price by three hundred times.

This number is simply a fantasy.

Soon, a decree came down, and it was still the decree, without going through the cabinet and the ministry. When everyone reacted, everyone was stunned.

His Majesty actually created a feudal state in Gyeonggi.

Although it is only ten miles away, in this capital, it can be regarded as the level of Wanhuhou.

It’s a pity… Jun Wuxi said that he wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

Fang Jifan was in high spirits after receiving the decree.

He really needs these ten miles.

Since he dared to promise your majesty three hundred times the profit, then…with these ten miles of land, the Fang family would be almost rich enough to rival the country.

His father and son were both in Golden Continent. Fang Jifan was in the Ming Dynasty and belonged to the ‘naked’ duke. Thinking that so many relatives of the Fang family had been sent to cultivate land there, but he didn’t know what life would be like or whether there was any danger, he asked Fang Jifan to do it. Having trouble sleeping and eating.

What he can do is to continuously send part of the Fang family’s wealth to accelerate the development of the Golden Continent by the entire Fang family.

This is not only for the entire Ming Dynasty, but of course, it can also be said to be for the personal interests of the Fang family.

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Fang Jifan was calm and relaxed. Wang Jinyuan hurriedly stepped forward: “Master, congratulations…”

“Congratulations for what? What does it have to do with you? Your Majesty gave me Fang Jifan’s land.”

Wang Jinyuan knew that the young master had this temper .

, didn’t feel strange at all, and nodded quickly: “Yes, yes.”

Fang Jifan immediately said: “Summon a group of people from the Engineering Academy to select a group of key personnel. I want to discuss some matters with them personally.”

Wang Jinyuan responded quickly .

Down.

The master called, and everyone in the engineering academy was already gearing up, but it was a pity that there were not many people qualified to go, only dozens of people.

They excitedly arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion and met Fang Jifan. Some of them couldn’t help but shed tears. This was the legendary master, so alive and kicking.

Everyone bowed and saluted.

But he saw Fang Jifan sitting at the desk, his eyes a little red, and there was a stack of hand-drawn drawings on the desk.

Obviously, Master has been working hard day and night, and he spent another busy night yesterday.

The master has learned from ancient times to the present, but it is still like this, which is really shameful.

Fang Jifan nodded at one of them: “Come on, come on, come on, dog… Young man, what’s your name?”

“Student… student…” The man prostrated on the ground and said excitedly: “Master, student Li Tian …”

“This name is not good, but it would be more pleasant to call it Li Jifan. Come, come, come, all of you, come over and take a look at these drawings first.”

Everyone was even more excited. These were drawn by the master himself.

So, each one of them came to the document with excitement, and when they saw it, they were confused.

This… what kind of engineering drawing is this? It’s so sloppy, neither neat nor neat, and has no data. Why does it look like a child’s level?

No, absolutely not. Who is the master? He must have some intention when he draws like this. Could it be that… this is not an engineering drawing, but a Franco painting? No, no, landscape painting… not right either, it’s amazing, it’s amazing, the master must have founded a sect again, and has new attainments in painting, could it be… what kind of new painting is this…

Fang Jifan is serious at this time He said: “Here, how about taking a look at my engineering drawing?”

“…”

………

I recommend two books.

One is “Escape for Your Life, Author”

and the other is “Outstanding Youth of the Ming Dynasty”
