Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He began to doubt life.

Why have all my thoughts and life experiences been constantly subverted in the past few years.

Such an important matter involves the national economy and the people's livelihood, Fang Jifan is right.

If these merchants learn from the gentry and don’t expand production and spend money, they will only become another group of gentry in the end. Money needs to flow, and if it doesn’t flow, countless people will have no livelihood. , will not receive enough taxes.

All of these are closely related and interlocking, and if there is a mistake in any point, there will be a big problem.

Therefore, changing the social atmosphere and encouraging merchants to take out money is the most important thing.

Just now, Emperor Hongzhi wondered in a split second whether he should issue an edict to secure business, or... order the cabinet to come up with some measures.

But Fang Jifan swears that there is one person who can accomplish this.

This person is neither a Confucianist nor a celebrity, but a servant.

How can national affairs be such a trifle?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Yes, that's right, this look is very familiar.

When Fang Jifan recommended his protégé, Emperor Hongzhi had the same expression.

only……

Emperor Hongzhi discovered that Fang Jifan had changed.

In the past, at least he still had integrity, and he knew it, so he recommended his disciples.

Now it's all right, and the house slaves are also stuffed in.

what does this mean?

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Are there any other candidates? I think people like Wang Shouren and Jiang Chen are not bad."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, this matter can only be handled by Deng Jian. Wang Shouren and others are not as good as Deng Jian, and they are not worthy of carrying Deng Jian's shoes."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked: "Then you order Deng Jian to come to the imperial court, and I will take a look."

Fang Jifan shook his head hurriedly: "This dog slave has never seen the world. If he sees His Majesty, he might offend the holy driver. I think it's better not to see him."

Emperor Hongzhi held his breath for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, go ahead and try it."

Fang Jifan said: "Then I will leave. By the way, Your Majesty, I need the help of His Highness the Crown Prince in this matter. Can His Highness be allowed to leave with me?"

No matter how you say it, you have to get the prince out, if you stay here, you will definitely be beaten.

Zhu Houzhao refused to admit defeat and said: "Don't go, don't go, today the father refuses to admit his mistake, so he lives in the palace."

Fang Jifan tugged at his sleeve: "Your Highness, it's important. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it later."

Emperor Hongzhi also felt bored, and was too lazy to argue with Zhu Houzhao: "Let's all step down."

"I don't want to back down." Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Fang Jifan covered his mouth, dragged him out of Fengtian Hall, and Zhu Houzhao said, "What are you talking about me, my lord." Could it be that this beating was in vain? This stupid gentleman doesn't distinguish between black and white, just look..."

Fang Jifan didn't bother to look at it, he only knew that he had this son and he had to be beaten.

After finally getting out of the Meridian Gate, Zhu Houzhao pointed to his own face: "Just now, a whip seems to have hit my face. Take a look and see if it's blue."

Fang Jifan saw that his face was really...a bit horrible, so he comforted him: "It's okay, it doesn't look like anything."

Zhu Houzhao said, "Then I'll go look in the mirror."

Fang Jifan said: "Stop looking in the mirror, Your Highness, women love to look in the mirror."

After finally coaxing Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan rushed to the west mountain in a hurry, and called Deng Jian: "From tomorrow on, you will go to the Wang's house as a servant. I will not be an official with the king. It has been discussed in advance. You will be the housekeeper of the Wang family, and his daily life will be taken care of by you."

Deng Jian listened: "Master, you don't want me anymore?"

Fang Jifan sighed: "It's not that I don't want you, but there is a big thing that I want you to do. If you succeed, it will benefit the country and the people, and save the common people. If you fail, the young master will chop you up and feed them to the dogs."

Deng Jian shuddered. For such a meaningful thing, it seemed that he was more likely to be chopped up and fed to the dogs.

Fang Jifan said: "When you arrive at Wang's house, you don't have to worry about anything, just restore your true colors. Don't worry about other things."

Deng Jian said: "Just like the villain used to serve the young master?"

Fang Jifan nodded.

Deng Jian still didn't understand: "But the villain thinks..."

Thinking you are a mb, Fang Jifan was furious, and kicked him to the ground: "You dog, do what you are asked to do, what do you think, if you say what you think again, I will kill you dog."

Deng Jian groaned, recognized the facts, endured the pain in his waist, and hurriedly turned over: "Young master's strength has improved again, and the young master is more and more aggressive. The young master is wise, and the young master is mighty."

…………

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were sent away.

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little worried.

The consequences mentioned by Fang Jifan made him a little bit unwilling.

What he believed in was that people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. When he thought of this, he felt that his hair was going to be gray.

Simply,

Still summoned Liu Jian and three people.

After hearing what His Majesty said, Liu Jian and the three looked at each other.

After all, what they understand is still the set of agricultural society, but now this set of new things, based on their decades of experience, is a bit overwhelming.

Liu Jian thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the old minister has also read The Wealth of Nations, and knows a thing or two about it. The wealth of this country is inseparable from the flow of money, but if it doesn't flow, then as well, the court encourages merchants to raise donations." ,how?"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Li Dongyang coughed: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. They don't dare to spend money, for fear of exposing their wealth. If they are encouraged to raise donations, wouldn't it make them not recruit themselves? I'm afraid they will panic even more."

Liu Jian thought it was reasonable, and smiled wryly: "It's better to have a long-term plan. Let Liu Wenshan, a lecturer, give a lecture, and let the veterans wait and learn. Then, I will speak for your majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to nod.

Times have changed, and so has the game.

People like Liu Jian have consciously become antiques.

They are cabinet ministers, not Qingliu. Qingliu can criticize anything he doesn't like, and he doesn't have to take responsibility anyway, but they are responsible for everything they say and do. Cheng is eternal. , defeat means being spurned by others through the ages.

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi said to Xiao Jing: "Go and get the statistics from the New Deal area a few days ago, and I will look at it again."

Xiao Jing nodded.

His Majesty has recently become obsessed with statistical data.

How many workshops, how many workshops have an annual sales of more than 50,000 taels of silver, how many tons of coal, how many tons of steel, and how much steel is smelted each year. Number of.

As an emperor, I am afraid that I don't know what is going on in the world today, but with the thousands of memorials coming up, even if the emperor looks at them one by one, the people's life is good or bad, it's just a blind man feeling the elephant.

The statistical data is different. It can clearly tell Emperor Hongzhi whether the national power of the Daming New Deal area has improved, how many refugees can be provided, and how many jobs can be arranged.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something: "Also, I will send a copy of these figures to the cabinet in the future, and ask the Qing family to read more."

Xiao Jing nodded: "Observe the order."

Xiao Jing could only admire Fang Jifan in his heart.

The apprentices and grandchildren he taught are really diverse, and they can do everything. In this guy's academy, even arithmetic is taught, and teaching is also taught, but he also uses this arithmetic to play tricks. I am flattering Your Majesty. Isn't this what His Majesty likes the most?

For these various reports and statistical data, Xiao Jing was extremely afraid in his heart.

Because what does the factory guard do?

The factory guards spy on local public opinion.

Therefore, the factory guard is equivalent to His Majesty's eyes and ears. Whenever His Majesty wants to know something, he will know everything by opening the factory guard's report.

But now, His Majesty asks Tongzhou and Baoding prefectures if there are any latest statistics, but those statisticians who are full and supportive still like to do this, and the various reports they send are all kinds. Salary statistics, some are industry statistics, some are tax statistics, these numbers are all tabulated, and even... for the sake of clarity, they are compared with previous years...

His Majesty now spends much less time watching the factory guard's report than before. He loves to look at his watch. He can stare at a watch for more than an hour, just sitting there, comparing numbers with numbers. .

If things go on like this, the Statistics Department under Baoding will keep pace with the factory guards.

You must know that the so-called power comes from whether you can influence the center of power. His Majesty is the center of power. The reason why the factory guards have a detached status in Daming is precisely because they can influence His Majesty's decision at any time. But once His Majesty pays more and more attention to other sources of information, is there still a matter of factory guards?

Xiao Jing couldn't help it now, he wanted to recruit a group of talents who are good at calculation in the factory guard, and set up a statistics bureau in the factory guard to fight against the Baoding Statistics Department.

It's a pity... In this world, how can there be so many talents who are good at calculation, and nine times out of ten, they are all monopolized by Xishan Academy, prying Fang Jifan's corner, isn't this courting death?

Emperor Hongzhi took a copy of the data report and looked at it seriously.

He is so fascinated that sometimes, he would bring up the ink pen and record the data one by one, this is to let himself have a deeper memory, so that he will not be able to recall it later.

"It's really a good thing. Now, I really want to see it when the time comes. The statistics envoy of Baoding Statistics Department. I heard that he has published two papers in the search journal. He is a great talent. You guys... all learn from him." .”
