MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-Chapter 63 hello nephew fang xian
Chapter 63 Hello, Nephew Fang Xian
Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a feeling of being kicked away, and then Fang Jifan did not hesitate to collude with his father, collaborating with his father, and in his heart, ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped by.
Fang Jifan's flattery, in the ears of Emperor Hongzhi, was really disgusting.
Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a long time, and raised his face: "Come on, stop being obedient and flattering in front of me, and doing things well will benefit the world! And..." At this time, Emperor Hongzhi's face showed Looking interesting, he said in the tone of admonishing Fang Jifan: "In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Qian Yue, the governor of Guizhou, is an important minister of the court. If you slandered him so much in your speech today, if it spread to his ears, he would be willing. Why don't you rest? If you have something to do in the future, just tell me in private, so as not to offend people by speaking out loud."
This sentence is said to be a reprimand, but it is more like an instruction to the juniors.
He kept saying that Qian Yue was in power in Guizhou, which would lead to a chieftain rebellion, and that the rebellion would definitely not be suppressed by bullets. Isn't this clearly telling people that Qian Yue is not good enough to take on important responsibilities?
He is loyal to the imperial court in Guizhou, and you Fang Jifan, a chief banner officer, shot him in the back. Does he have no friends in Beijing? What's more, he is a famous capable minister in the world, even I appreciate him, you Fang Jifan are not afraid of being sprayed to death with spitting stars?
When Emperor Hongzhi brought it up again, Fang Jifan couldn't help being annoyed when he thought of the Guizhou incident. He clearly said it was true and it happened in history, but no one believed it.
Although Fang Jifan is a notorious scum in the eyes of the world, in fact, Fang Jifan still has a warm heart. He knows very well that if there is a rebellion, many people will suffer, so he insists on his own opinion.
At this time, Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "But your majesty, I really think that Qian Yue is too bookish after all. If he is in charge of Shandong and Henan, it's fine...but it can be placed in Guizhou. The means, I'm afraid... are useless at all, the minister thinks that the court should..."
Before Fang Jifan could say anything, Emperor Hongzhi glared at him. He felt that Fang Jifan had gone too far. Fang Jifan had indeed made a great contribution this time, but he couldn't get carried away. Emperor Hongzhi trusted Qian Yue. What's more, what's more, the imperial court has just put down the rebellion and deterred the chieftains in the Southwest. Which chieftain would be so blind and dare to rebel? With Emperor Hongzhi's many years of experience in governing, it is impossible to think about it.
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him and said, "If you finish the coal mining well, it will be a great achievement."
The most depressing thing about Fang Jifan is that no matter how correct he is, he will never be trusted by others because of his own identity.
Of course, the root of this matter is that both Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet ministers have inherent "ruling experience", and they believe in their own judgments.
So, even if Fang Jifan broke his throat, they probably wouldn't listen.
No matter what, there is a saying that only when you suffer a loss, you will learn from it.
Fang Jifan left angrily, Zhu Houzhao was already vomiting blood with anger, and followed him out.
Looking at the gloomy Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan comforted him and said, "Your Highness, be good, although you don't have any shares, your Highness is the spokesperson of our coal industry after all. I've made the decision, and I'll give you a salary."
Zhu Houzhao was still angry, and said angrily: "My father always treats me like a child, so I am so mad!"
Fang Jifan just laughed, but Zhu Houzhao turned into anger from embarrassment and said: "Father can trust even an inconspicuous person like you, Lao Fang. No matter what happens in this palace, it is better than you, right?"
Fang Jifan blushed suddenly, is this considered a personal attack?
Fang Jifan said: "No, I am a down-to-earth person."
So the two of you talked to each other and I talked to each other, and they went out of the palace together.
Millions of catties of coal are produced every day. With the poor productivity of this era, this means that at least thousands of people need to be hired. In addition, a large number of production tools need to be purchased. The distribution can be handed over to Wang Jinyuan. Moreover, in the future, the palace and the army will presumably purchase in large quantities.
Fang Jifan roughly converted the cost, the cost of production and transportation is not high, and the labor cost of this era is also pitifully low, so in general, the profit is huge in just one month, which is an astronomical figure, and Xishan has now become a city that cannot be excavated. As for the cost of buying the land at the beginning, Fang Jifan probably took out nearly 200,000 taels of land. Of course, the Fang family's shop in Dongshi had to be used as a base for coal distribution.
It only takes less than a year, and Fang Jifan is confident that he can make back his capital.
Even if the current output is maintained, the Fang family can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. If the market is opened up in the future, this anthracite can be used for more purposes, or transported to the cities along the canal through the canal, or even through the canal Send it to Nantong Prefecture and arrive at Nanzhili and other places, so even if the production continues to double, it will be no problem.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and anthracite are used to replace 'firewood', but any industry that monopolizes people's livelihood materials is sure to be profitable.
Of course, the most important of these is the Zhenguo Coal Industry, which has been involved in the palace. In this era, it is unrealistic not to give the government a share. Fang Jifan originally expected that he would cooperate with the Zhan Shifu. With the golden signboard of the prince, Zhenguo Coal actually doesn't have to worry about other problems.
But now, the palace has replaced Zhan Shifu and occupied half of the original shares. This...is a good thing, the signboard of the emperor Laozi is more shining than the signboard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Zhu Houzhao was different. He seemed aggrieved after being busy for nothing. The two of them were about to leave Chongwenmen, and Zhu Houzhao was furious to go back to Zhan Shifu. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Jifan was ready to go home.
But not far from Chongwenmen, a passionate voice came from behind: "Nephew Fang Xian, how are you?"
This voice was so passionate that even Fang Jifan's bones were about to crumble.
Looking back, he saw the Zhang family brothers Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Bo catching up quickly like a spring breeze.
Fang Jifan smiled at them.
They also smiled at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan laughed at these two fools.
They also laughed at Fang Jifan, the number one in the world, for being taken advantage of.
Zhang Yanling approached affectionately, stroked Fang Jifan's shoulder enthusiastically, and then said with a distressed look: "My nephew is getting thinner, do you want to go to the house to drink some water and make up for your body?"
Seeing how 'caring' he was, Fang Jifan shook his head like a rattle: "Thank you, I love eating bird's nest."
Zhang Yanling immediately pulled his face down, forced a smile again: "Bird's nest... the bird's nest is not delicious, it's good to drink plain water, it's healthy!"
Zhang Heling was afraid that this kid would continue to pester the bird's nest, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "What a coincidence, our brother just came back from the empress's place, and the empress specifically mentioned you and praised you fiercely. Our brothers also said, Fang Nephew Xian is really a good person, among the younger generations, no one can compare with Nephew Fang Xian."
Fang Jifan also smiled and said: "Where, where, you are too polite."
"Oh, I heard that you are selling coal recently?" Zhang Heling said with a smile.
He was very well informed, and he soon knew what happened in Chongwen Palace.
However, judging from his bright smile, Fang Jifan can be sure that the pair of brothers have not discovered the huge business opportunities brewing in the wasteland of Xishan.
Fang Jifan nodded honestly: "Yes, do some small business to make ends meet!"
The Zhang family brothers laughed again. I really want to say, Nephew Fang Xian, your IQ is not suitable for business. Our brothers are all worried about you. If you have money to pay, why not give it to our brothers.
Of course, Zhang Heling felt that he still had a bit of conscience. After all, he had made a huge profit from Fang Jifan, so he said, "Then I wish you a prosperous business."
The two brothers then exchanged glances, their eyes met, and there was sarcasm in the depths of their eyes.
Fang Jifan let out an oh, and was about to leave.
But it doesn't matter, at this time, a carriage suddenly came, and a person got out of the carriage. This person was dressed in rich clothes, but it seemed that he was just a merchant.
…
The first leader of this book, the classmate "Die Qiaoqiao, the hacker", was born! congratulations! This classmate is a familiar face, haha...
In addition, I would like to thank the classmate 'Zi Feiyu', who spent several hours building more than 9,000 buildings in the book review area, scaring the tiger to death, and did not dare to write books. It takes more than 30 minutes to count the first floor and the first floor, and the eyes are blurred. You can imagine how much effort it will take to have more than 9,000 book reviews.
Ashamed, ashamed, but also extremely grateful.
At the same time, thanks to all readers and friends who rewarded and voted for support, la la la... happy.
