.,

Emperor Hongzhi was going crazy, walking back and forth in the hall.

It's all agreed.

At first, I thought that Fang Jifan could be assured of doing business.

Who would have expected that Fang Jifan would give away three thousand Confucian scholars at once, and it is said that they don't need any money.

Of course, money is a secondary matter.

But he actually gave away three thousand Confucian scholars for nothing!

Three thousand Confucian scholars...

Emperor Hongzhi became uneasy for a moment.

This Fang Jifan could not be a mentally ill offender.

Waiting left and right, but Fang Jifan did not come.

This made Emperor Hongzhi even more anxious.

Finally, seeing Fang Jifan rushing over out of breath, Emperor Hongzhi was full of grievances, but at this moment it all dissipated.

I originally complained in my heart, but it can be seen that Fang Jifan is panting like a cow. Thinking that this guy is devoted to him, and now he hears his summons, he is so attentive, and in all likelihood, he ran all the way to the palace. I feel guilty, am I being too harsh.

Xiao Jing stood aside with no expression on his face. As a eunuch, Xiao Jing was most aware of such tricks.

Fang Jifan was not out of breath, and quickly saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

"My son..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I heard that Ji Fan has already negotiated with Ottoman's prince?"

"Reporting to the emperor, we have already negotiated." Fang Jifan took a breath at this moment, and replied with a straight face: "I have a very happy conversation with him. This Ottoman prince is indeed very clear and unusual."

Emperor Hongzhi's face sank, and he stared at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

"Extraordinary? Jifan agreed to send him three thousand Confucian scholars?"

"If he still thinks it's not enough, Erchen thinks, you don't mind giving him more."

This is a special product of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many are produced every year, and as much as I want, Fang Jifan thinks so.

Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down: "It is said that Prince Ottoman promised gold and silver, but Jifan refused to accept it."

"Your Majesty, this is not a business, people are priceless." Fang Jifan wailed.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes widened, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, I still pulled my face. After all, there are no outsiders here: "You didn't say that at the beginning."

"Your Majesty." Fang Jifan gave Emperor Hongzhi a meaningful look: "Your Majesty, I have also negotiated with Prince Suleiman about the business on the road. I have made up my mind to build a caravan and go to Ottoman. The Ottoman Mediterranean port, importing goods to Venice, sent to North Africa and even Italy."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "That's all?"

"This caravan is dominated by His Majesty, and the small one by my ministers. From now on, let's make it public together."

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly, and he became interested: "Go on."

"After the listing, we will send a caravan, and we will definitely get a lot of profit. In the early stage, the stock price may only increase slightly, and the profit will be large, but Erchen estimates that after a period of time, there will be a possibility of skyrocketing."

"Possible skyrocketing?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being excited: "Tell me."

"Your Majesty, think about it, let's send the Confucian scholars. If these Confucian scholars can gain a foothold in Ottoman, this His Highness Suleiman will inherit the foundation of Ottoman's ancestors in the future. Wouldn't they become favorites?"

"Once they become favorites, or someone becomes a feudal official, wouldn't they have a lot of money?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "How do you know they will have a lot of silver?"

"This..." Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "In Daming, they did the same thing."

"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious: "Go on."

"The so-called Three Caves of the Rabbit, after all, they are officials outside, and they are not at ease after all. They have to find ways to transport the money to their hometown. So, what do they pass? Of course, it is a caravan. Gold and silver will become legal treasures, and in this way, the caravan will reap huge profits. At that time, the profit of the caravan will directly skyrocket. Your Majesty, what do you think its stock price will be like?"

"For Osman, His Majesty has shown generosity. His Majesty does not take any money. The trade has also deepened the exchanges between the two countries. And for those Confucian scholars, it is not a bad result. His Majesty has given them a place to use their talents. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds." .”

Emperor Hongzhi's head began to spin rapidly.

Hmm... First it was given away, then the caravan, the caravan went public, and after that people got money, and the silver began to become legal treasure money in the caravan, and the money was transformed into profit in the form of profit, and the profit promoted The stock price rises, and finally... Gongzhong, who holds a large amount of capital, obtains huge profits.

Here, there are at least seven or eight circles.

Of course...the only problem is...if there is a problem in any link here, all previous efforts may be wasted.

Can it really be as Fang Jifan said, every place is fine?

This is what Emperor Hongzhi suspected.

He looked at Fang Jifan: "Can these Confucian scholars make a difference in Ottoman?"

His tone was not confident.

Fang Jifan nodded heavily towards Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, these Confucian scholars are all talents, to be honest

, I want to send them away, I am still a little bit reluctant, such talents go to Ottoman, if they can't think about it, it's because God has no eyes. What's more, Prince Suleiman is a man of great talent and boldness. He desperately wants to get rid of the halo of his ancestors and become a hero of a generation. If he does something that is world-class, he will definitely... have to find something new, and these Confucian scholars will definitely be able to do it for him. Like a tiger with wings added. "

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again when he felt that it was unreliable.

"If you say that, don't you mean that the Ottoman country will become a serious problem for my Ming Dynasty?"

"..." Fang Jifan was stunned, and then said: "Actually...not that powerful, I exaggerated a bit, but... I can guarantee that they can be reused in Osman, and even replace Osman's old one soon. expensive."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. Daming and Ottoman are far apart, and for the time being, both have common enemies. Emperor Hongzhi continued: "You can guarantee that these people will... um... will get a lot of gold and silver, and then pass Caravan sent back."

"Of course, it is said that people have immediate concerns without long-term concerns. These Confucian scholars have always considered very long-term. After all, that is not their hometown. The vast majority of their clansmen are still in my Daming. Besides, , even if they gain power once, in the future, there will inevitably be repetitions. They will inevitably send out gold and silver quietly. They may have an intersection with Daming. In Ottoman, who else is there besides the caravan? Don't worry, your majesty. I have 90% certainty."

Even though Fang Jifan repeatedly explained, Emperor Hongzhi still felt that it was very unreliable.

Can……

Why……

He sighed: "90% sure, it seems that you are very confident about this."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, my minister will die forever. Your Highness the Crown Prince even made a bet with him, saying that he wants to bet on the Zhen Guo Mansion. Of course, although this minister agrees, he also knows that His Royal Highness is joking. Not true."

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, and even bet on the Zhen Guo Mansion, Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

In this way, Fang Jifan's bet is not small.

So……

This Fang Jifan...is more than 90% certain.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow. Now that the crown prince has made an agreement, there is no reason not to count. I have granted it. If he loses, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat."

"Since you already have a charter in your heart, then you should follow your charter. The only thing that bothers me is how to send three thousand Confucian scholars out?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being suspicious: "What can you do?"

…………

The Hanlin Academy suddenly published a list.

Confucian scholars should be invited to the Imperial Academy to teach the scriptures. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor may also come.

This sudden news shocked Shilin.

Your Majesty is now more and more inclined to the Academy of Sciences, and doesn't take traditional Confucian scholars seriously at all.

Confucian scholars are completely useless in Ming Dynasty. They are so idle every day, just like people who eat idle food, they spend a day as a monk hitting the clock.

In the eyes of countless Confucian scholars, this is simply the collapse of the sky, the collapse of ritual and music.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some people start to nostalgia, and some people start to feel that the present is not as good as the past.

But now, His Majesty's move suddenly made countless Confucian scholars see the dawn.

Your Majesty has been deceived by treacherous ministers all these years, and now he invites Confucian scholars to the Imperial Academy to listen to Confucian scholars lecture on the scriptures. This is an excellent opportunity.

Chen Jingye, a great Confucianist, is now very popular.

He is the most outstanding Confucian in Northern Zhili, his disciples and old officials are all over the world.

Although he is just a Juren, his articles and his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics are admired by countless people.

Now his disciples came to the door one after another, hoping that his mentor could take him to the Hanlin Academy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It would be a pity if he didn't go.

If His Majesty happened to value his teacher, it would be great.

"Sir, now the entire Jiangbei scholar community is rumored about this matter. Confucian scholars in Shandong and Shanxi have also started to leave. If you don't go, sir, it will be dusty. What's more, the current emperor believes in the Academy of Sciences. If things go on like this , In this world, there is no benevolence, righteousness, propriety and righteousness anymore, sir, please take the common people into consideration, go to the Imperial Academy, and I will be honored to wait for my disciples."

Chen Jingye looked at these disciples with a smile on her face.

The news...he had heard it a long time ago.

It would be a lie to say that he doesn't want to go, but he is not an ordinary Confucian scholar, and he cannot easily agree to such things, otherwise, it would be too self-deprecating.

He shook his head: "I don't want to care about worldly matters, what's wrong with me reading scriptures and history quietly?"

"Sir..." The disciples knelt down on the ground, tears pouring down, "If you don't leave the mountain, what will happen to the common people?"
