The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

The emperor Hongzhi looked dazed.

Gold, silver, copper.

This is currency.

The silver accounted by the imperial court each year is only two million two, and the remaining gold and copper are actually not many. The gold, silver and copper mines in the customs are almost monopolized by the imperial court, but they are useless and only have so much mining , Less pitiful.

On the one hand, it is time-consuming and laborious to mine, especially in many mines. It has been excavated since the Spring and Autumn Period. The deeper the mine, the greater the cost.

Therefore, when Daming lacked silver, the court had to replace silver with treasure banknotes, but the problem was that silver banknotes also used silver and copper coins as reserves. When the court only paid attention to issuing treasure banknotes, as a result, people couldn't exchange treasure banknotes The full amount of silver money naturally comes out, and no one believes the value of the treasure.

The reason is that, on the one hand, the imperial court was short of money; on the other hand, it was also because the imperial court's expenditure was too large.

Hexi, actually found a lot of mineral veins.

On the face of Emperor Hongzhi, he was shocked first, and then he uttered a disapproval.

How is this possible ......... where in Hexi ... how is it possible ... the mountains there are all stones, the entire desert, all stones!

"Ji Fan, aren't you kidding?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan with a serious expression.

Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "It's true." Then he took out Jiang Chen's letter: "Your Majesty, this is Jiang Chen's disciple, Jiang Chen, who led people to Hexi, and after personal exploration, the mountains , The mineral deposits contained are incalculable. "

"..."

All of a sudden, everyone was ignorant.

They watched Fang Jifan present the letter, and His Majesty busy looked down at the letter. From the emperor Hongzhi's mourning face ... Eight out of ten ... it was true ...

This Fang Jifan, there is no need to make this joke.

Liu Jian suddenly felt distressed.

Mine, countless mines, if Daming did not give up Hexi, or, this mine did not give Fang Jifan, this mine is the treasury, can it bring less real gold and silver to the treasury every year?

Xie Qian's face was ashamed.

What is more speechless is Li Dongyang, who is still annoyed by Li Dongyang, but now ... he is a bit crying and laughing.

Are you kidding me?

He is Hushang Shangshu. Over the years, Guanne ’s mineral veins have gradually dried up. He knows this better than anyone, but now ...

It was because of him that he just mocked Fang Jifan. Now it seems ... his face hurts a little, and the corners of his mouth are twitching. He is being beaten alive.

That Zhang Sheng opened his mouth wide, with eggs, and stared at Fang Jifan with a stunned expression.

Looking at the strange expressions of everyone, Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Majesty is to the children ..... It is really gracious ... Children .... I don't know how to be grateful."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi silently put down the letter.

Silent for a long time, I don't know what to say.

In the warm pavilion, the static needle drop was audible, and no one made a sound.

"Either." Fang Jifan said carefully: "Otherwise, the son shouldn't want it anymore. The son does not dare to accept such a generous gift. Her Royal Highness, the princess, only wanted to worry about your majesty, the princess's house, even if it was poor. Some, it ’s okay to use a little less. The children and the highness of the princess, the food and clothing will be reduced, and the days will always be able to survive. The plan of your majesty is the most important thing, this deserted land, children ... Not daring to accept it, please also Your Majesty, take back your life. "

Emperor Hongzhi had a feeling of being a dog.

I have been an emperor for more than ten years. In fact ... I am the only one who has reduced my diet. Over the years, the new clothing has been reluctant to allow the Shang Yijian to cut it, and the royal meal has also tried to save it. Let Queen Zhang personally weave in the harem. Which one can be like himself? , Buckled the ropes, and finally saved a sum of money, who knows ...

He took a deep breath ... a little heart moved, this place ... withdraw it?

just……

He seemed unable to let go of this face. The words he uttered were like splashed water. It was difficult to collect the water, not to mention that he was the emperor, and he could not change it.

Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "Fang Jifan's words are wrong. Now if he takes back his life, he will give his father and emperor a face to call himself a prince. Have you ever heard of an emperor working hard for a while, then take back his life? Nothing."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi blushed old, his heart suddenly held his breath, it hurt.

He looked at Liu Jian involuntarily.

Liu Jian was speechless.

Even ... Emperor Hongzhi wanted to take Zhang Sheng, who was still a part of the death ceremony. For the past few days, it was you Zhang Sheng who was chatting here and using this deserted land to ridicule. Now ... how to ridicule others and clearly ridicule yourself, I laughed at myself!

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan. This time, Fang Jifan showed his sincere affection. The emperor Hongzhi also had some understanding of his partner Jifan. Look at him as he is now.

but……

The emperor Hongzhi felt a heartache, but he still shook his head as decided by Fang Jifan: "I have said that the land of desert will be given to Qing and Xiu Rong. This matter cannot be discussed anymore."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have decided his idea. Although it was a wealth of money, and Emperor Hongzhi really regretted it, but now, he is still determined that this good person will do it.

"That's it." Fang Jifan said: "The officials there had to be disrespectful."

"..."

Fang Jifan's face inevitably showed a proud look.

This is very frustrating.

Fang Jifan said: "If this is the case, then whether this mineral is left to the children's disposal."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was bleeding, and his breathing felt uncomfortable, but he got up the spirit: "Naturally Ren Qing handles!"

Well, it ’s just a dowry. Usually Fang Jifan is afraid that he does n’t have a lack of humiliation. If that ’s the case, then it ’s so simple, so I will be generous.

Fang Jifan rejoiced: "Okay, then the sons will be disposed of. This mine, the sons are all dedicated to the township government!"

This remark came out of nowhere.

What do you mean.

You do n’t want any of these mineral deposits?

Is this guy crazy?

Or ... This kid really treats money like dung?

Liu Jian and others all looked at Fang Jifan in astonishment, as if they had all heard the wrong thing, their mouths were open, and their faces were unbelievable.

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded. How could this kid ...

Fang Jifan said awe-inspiringly: "Since then, the gold, silver and copper mines there have nothing to do with the princes. The children are honored by the state and the Fangs have enjoyed the wealth of the past few centuries. Given, therefore, the son-in-law is to eat bran pharyngeal, these mineral deposits, the son-in-law should never, His Majesty will give the son-in-law the land of desert, the son-in-law accepts, but this great wealth, the son-in-law gave all his royal highness ! "

Zhu Houzhao stayed.

All sent to the palace ...

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath of breath: "Ji Fan, what do you mean?"

"Children have nothing else to do." Fang Jifan raised his chin: "For children, the merits and demerits are just clouds, gold and silver jewelry, children regarded it as dung, His Royal Highness Prince, since the establishment of the town government, for The imperial court made some unknown contributions. Therefore, the princes gave away these mineral deposits in the hope that His Royal Highness, with such wealth, would be able to share his lord's worries better. This is a little selfishness of the princes. As long as His Royal Highness can share his sorrow for His Majesty, His Majesty is in a good mood, no need to worry about this complicated matter, for the children, it is the greatest reward, children ......... is a big loyalty, please also His Majesty Mingjian. "

"..."

Zhu Hou listened and was moved.

Lao Fang ... he was so willing.

In other words, this palace, I am afraid that there is no such a boring sky.

This guy took the wrong medicine.

Emperor Hongzhi heard this, but suddenly his eyes were flushed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Lu Yao knew that the horsepower would see people's hearts for a long time. This was true. Fang Jifan gave him the impression that although he was clever, he was always ... fooling around ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ regardless of importance, but today ...

Fang Jifan was stealing music in his heart.

What's the use of mineral deposits, isn't it just to dig out gold, silver and copper coins?

The Flemish robots colonized the world, plundering gold and silver everywhere, making their royal family and nobles very rich, but what about their wealth, what can they exchange for?

For Fang Jifan, the meaning of the land of desert is not mining.

The real meaning lies in the discovery of a large number of treasures, and there will be countless people going to the desert to extract these minerals. At that time, countless people will surround the mines, will build a market, there will be camps, they need to eat and drink, there will be reclamation nearby Land, minerals need to be smelted, and mining needs tools, then it is bound to be built by workshops. The desert is vast in area. People can only reach the nearby towns with two legs. It may take a few days, so ... A large number of horses and a lot of goods need to enter and exit the gate, so the demand for cattle and horses will only be greater, and some people will start learning to raise cattle and horses.

The mine is owned by the town and the state, but the land is owned by our side, and the people on the ground are naturally born to the people of our side, and the dead are the ghosts of our side, and countless people are here to eat, live, and travel, so the land that was reclaimed is mine, The pasture and the cattle and horses above are also mine. Even the smelting workshops are also left in Hexi. More and more people go to Hexi in search of wealth. A large number of minerals are extracted, and countless people take this opportunity to become rich, together with the Western Regions. In the country's Hexi, Daming is bound to resume trade with countries in the Western Regions. Innumerable chambers of commerce in the name of tribute will pass through the throat of Hexi. Eventually, leaving behind will also take away countless wealth and commercial goods.

This ... is a long-term plan.

On the contrary, what the mine can get is only currency. As far as the other party is concerned, the currency is not real enough. People, fields, pastures, business ways, workshops are nothing more than real.
