Emperor Hongzhi's face turned red.

Do you need to think about it? Nine out of ten, it was Fang Jifan who made it up.

This guy has a big appetite.

Together with the crown prince, we set up a Xishan bank to promote bank notes. I didn't bother with him, but he actually cared about my internal treasury.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "This matter...is not for discussion."

Xu Jing only spoke halfway before being interrupted by Emperor Hongzhi, who lost all confidence in the second half of his speech: "The interest rate is astonishing. Every year, there is an interest rate of three points..."

three dots...

If it's 30 million taels, isn't that like giving away 1 million for nothing in a year?

Emperor Hongzhi felt incredible.

In fact... the inflation outside the palace has not been transmitted to the palace. After all, the greater the amount of silver, the less clear the effect of this transmission.

Emperor Hongzhi saved so much money, and it will be of great use in the future.

As for the bank's ability to save money, he has also heard about it. Of course, it's just what he heard.

But when he heard three points a year, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "One million interest a year?"

Xu Jingdao: "The larger the amount, the greater the interest. Don't you believe in the credit of Xishan Bank? Now the whole world is using their bank notes. Besides, your majesty, even if they dare to deceive others, how dare they deceive your majesty?" Ah, in this bank, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince holds more than 50% of the dry shares, this is the business of the Crown Prince, His Majesty is the father of the Crown Prince, and putting the silver from the internal treasury into the bank is just a matter of transferring the money from the left hand to the right."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his head, remained silent, and said for a long time, "If it's 33.75 million taels of silver, and it's not counted as the leader, let's take it as an integer, what is the annual income?"

Liu Jian and the others sat aside, their hearts bleeding... His Majesty's internal treasury is really too fat.

Xu Jingdao: "At least one million?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "I think about it!"

Xu Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi eagerly: "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed anxious.

In this world, where is there such an easy to earn one million taels of silver?

But...Fang Jifan is still credible, and the scale of Xishan Bank is also huge.

Either way, it's not a disadvantage.

Besides, does Fang Jifan dare to lie to himself?

He already had some calculations in his mind, of course, he had to wait and agree later, the interest rate could be increased a bit.

…………

"What do you mean? My father?" Fang Jifan was a little confused.

My father went to guard America.

Take tens of millions of military households and family members to that wild land.

The land there is indeed fertile. Anyone who gets that piece of precious land can be said to be blessed by nature. It is not too much to say that it is the fertile soil bestowed by heaven.

These military households and family members will continue to reproduce. On the fertile land, there is no shortage of food, and the level of the Han people's human production, thinking about it back then, this is really not bragging, that is leverage, and ordinary people are really no match.

This is a very promising matter for Fang Jifan.

Even if His Majesty asked him to go to the Golden Isle, Fang Jifan packed his luggage without saying a word, and went to that fertile land. It is not considered as a distribution to the frontier, but more like being sent to be a big local tyrant, um...the biggest manor owner in the world, If you have any land in a province as your own farm, ask if you are afraid.

But the problem is, this is his father.

My own father... Can he stand the turbulence of the waves?

Seeing that the teacher's face has changed, Xu Jing's face is also livid, and the beating seems inevitable: "There is one more thing, teacher, His Majesty seems to be quite concerned about depositing the silver from the internal treasury into the Xishan Bank. "

ah……

Fang Jifan twitched slightly, this is a good thing, all the gold and silver of those damn sailors and sailors have been escorted to the silver treasury of Xishan Bank, tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, plus His Majesty's more than 30 million yuan Two, the silver deposits in Xishan Bank can be described as rich, and it can be said bluntly that the status of the silver standard has been completely consolidated.

"Why doesn't my mentor speak?" Xu Jing smiled wryly: "Your Majesty intends to let Shigong go to Huangjinzhou. The students know that my mentor must be a little unhappy. After all... Shigong is an old man."

"Go!" Fang Jifan suddenly said: "Why not go. Our Fang family has been loyal and good for generations. This is because everyone in the Fang family knows that there is no free lunch in this world. Fang Jifan hates it the most." They are people who just eat and wait to die. Now, the imperial court has needs and His Majesty has requests. If my father doesn’t go, who will go? I’ll write a book for my father and remind him so that he can prepare early.”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and went all out.

Opening up the Golden Continent is something that will benefit generations to come. Anyone who seizes the Golden Continent will be a serious threat to Daming in the future. This is the righteousness of the family and the country. Before this, everything can be thrown aside.

If something really happened to his father in the sea, then Fang Jifan would admit it, it's a big deal, go by himself, if he died, there would be no Fang Zhengqing, ah, no, Fang Zhengqing looked at him, afraid that he would have a big future, The Fang family, as well as Fang Xiaofan, in this world, someone has to do some stupid things. The prosperity and wealth of the Fang family for several generations did not come from charging phone bills.

Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "Did Your Majesty mention my stepmother?"

Xu Jing was taken aback for a moment: "I really mentioned it, my mentor is really good at predicting things."

"I already know what your Majesty's plan is." Fang Jifan said: "My stepmother has great prestige among the natives, I'm afraid Your Majesty still hopes that my stepmother and the natives will also come to enlighten me In Xinjiang, in the southwestern regions, the natives are different from us Han people, but after sailing to the sea and arriving at Huangjinzhou, in the eyes of others, what is the difference between us and them? We all have yellow skin, both have black eyes, and both have yellow skin. They are black-haired and long-haired, and their diet and language are basically the same. When they arrive at Huangjinzhou, there will be no difference between Han and land. Everyone is Han. Only by helping each other can we gain a firm foothold. Years, thirty years, there will be no difference."

Fang Jifan danced excitedly: "My father has governed Guizhou and Jiaozhi for many years. He has rich experience. He marched and fought, especially in the army. In the army, there are many old brothers and soldiers of various guards. There is no one who disapproves of him. Besides, Back then, when our Fang family founded the country with Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen Jingnan, it was a life-and-death friendship with the ancestors of the various guards in the army. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was no way to find a more suitable one. the candidate?"

Xu Jing kept nodding, but... Teacher, why are you so happy like Chinese New Year.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "wait for your majesty's order, but I have to make preparations first, after all, this is my father, so I have to let him bring some medicines, weapons and silver circulation supplies. Give Wang Jinyuan that dog I'm calling."

…………

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the map of the world left by the eunuch Sanbao.

He stared at the position of the Golden Continent without saying a word.

What a vast territory this is. Adding up the north and the south, it is several times that of Daming. If it is true as Xu Jing said, it has to be said that any foreign race will take it away, which is a terrible thing.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and said respectfully to Xiao: "Order someone to prepare an order, and I ordered Fang Jinglong to be the Marquis of Pingxi, so I wanted to let him establish the western border of the Ming Dynasty, but now, the western border of the Ming Dynasty is not in Yunnan and Guizhou, but in Huangjinzhou. Order Fang Jinglong to be the governor of the Anxi Protectorate, to handle the military affairs of Huangjinzhou."

"Your Majesty, don't you send a censor and guard eunuch?" Xiao Jing said.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "This Golden Continent is thousands of miles away. A group of ragged refugees have opened up their territory. If someone tells them how to do it, do you think they died fast enough? If I suspect Ping Xihou and the generals Why should they be sent thousands of miles away? But if I don't believe it, why should a group of people point fingers? When they arrive at Huangjinzhou, what they will face will be countless natives who have their own thoughts. There are countless Franji people, they were buried in the belly of the fish before they even arrived, or even, after arriving, a plague killed them in a foreign land, they are too far away from China, look at that Xu Jing, look at those soldiers, Xu Jing can still come back, but once Fang Jinglong and those soldiers go to the Golden Continent, when they come back, there will be only bones left."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

The ancients were very sensitive to distance. In the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, there may be only a few mountains between them. If two people want to meet each other, they have to trek for several days.

But now, it is Wanli Bibo...

Emperor Hongzhi sat down: "Put away these small thoughts, relying on this so-called emperor's restraint technique, what you get will not be people's hearts, what you get, but the fear of the soldiers towards the court. After thousands of miles away from China, dissatisfaction and resistance will grow more and more. What I take is the sunny road. What I use is the benevolent heart that I regard the soldiers as innocent children. I believe them... I believe what the wise men say, The king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard him as his heart! They are thousands of miles away, but I am still their backer, let them... Let them go and do it."

"Your servant... I see, Your Majesty is really wise."

Xiao Jing laughed dryly.

In fact, he was quite happy.

I heard that Huangjinzhou is very rich. Originally, some godsons could be placed to oversee the army and guard eunuchs, but now it seems that it has been a waste of time.

Xiao Jing's heart was full of regrets.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "I plan to deposit the silver in the inner treasury into the Xishan Bank."

"Ah..." Xiao Jing couldn't help but said, "Is Your Majesty so relieved?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly: "To be honest, I'm a little worried, but... I can see that Fang Jifan needs money."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "The money was originally saved by Fang Jifan. Some of it was the dividends of the Xishan coal industry, and some were the dividends of some workshops... It is really a lot. This Xishan bank, the prince and Fang Jifan all have shares. Obviously, they have some Difficulties, then save them, even if there are really mistakes, it will not be too late to clean them up."
