Fang Jifan understands Zhu Houzhao very well.

His ambitions were much greater than those of Emperor Hongji.

Emperor Hongzhi hopes to guard one acre and three points of land, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, which is passive, and at a glance, there is still a golden island, in order to let his descendants also have a wife and children to go down the hot kang, there is no way, so he has to fight.

Zhu Houzhao is different.

Zhu Houzhao belongs to the kind of person who plays with swords all day long and looks for enemies everywhere.

Fang Jifan sighed and met Zhu Houzhao's hot gaze.

"Hey, Your Highness, Your Highness, what should I say about you. What should I do if Your Majesty learns the truth, I still have a lot of money unspent. ”

Zhu Houzhao patted him on the shoulder: "We are friends, that's why I told you, you said it directly, do you want to do it?" ”

Fang Jifan thought for a moment and nodded: "The last time." If something happens, you come to the top, and I will be in charge of the palace. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "I know that you are righteous." ”

"Of course." Fang Jifan said: "This is handed down by the ancestors, I have told you, my eldest father is in the civil fort ......"

"Don't mention the Civil Fort!" Zhu Hou spread out according to the map: "You look carefully, Wang Bushi will lead people, where to land?" ”

Fang Jifan sighed, so he had to lower his head and look at the map: "I think the biggest possibility is Tanggu." ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "No, the landing in Tanggu is the safest, but since Wang Xizuo is a fine work, he will definitely not lead the Spaniards to land in Tanggu, I think ...... It is very likely to land at the mouth of Dagu, which is across the river from Tanggu, and is an excellent landing site, but he also knows that I am here in the Ming Dynasty, stationed military horses, and if I want to come, it may be at the mouth of Dagu. ”

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I see...... No, if Wang Xizuo wanted to win the trust of the Spaniards, he would never risk deceiving them, because he could not be sure that Spain had other channels for obtaining information, and the best way to hide himself was precisely ...... Seven points true, three points false. This dog thing, I didn't even write down the landing location. ”

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "It doesn't matter where he lands, these two places are just arranged with heavy troops." ”

Fang Jifan smiled and didn't make a sound.

The next day, Emperor Hongzhi drove and led his ministers to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei has begun to appear the prototype of Dagang.

In the future, there will be a railroad connecting here, and the port will be full of docks, and canvas wooden ships and steam ships are frantically built.

The headquarters of the Siyang Commercial Bank is located here.

In the future, countless goods will be transported from the inland to the south by rail, to the south, through the canal, to the south of the Yangtze River, to the west, by sea, and then through the Siyang Commercial Bank to send the goods to all parts of the world.

Of course.

Now the Siyang Firm, holding the money raised from the stock market, is frantically placing orders, and their demand for merchant ships is so great that here, although the New Deal has not yet begun, there have already been countless merchants gathered, and craftsmen of all colors have come here.

A large number of orders gave birth to the shipbuilding industry.

Because of the deadline, the dockyard had to recruit a variety of shipwrights.

In addition, the construction of steam engine ships is even more costly, and many students who graduated from Xishan Academy are working here. In order to manufacture nearby, here, the Xishan Iron and Steel Workshop, a huge steel mill has been built here, and it has been expanded again and again.

Over here...... A thriving situation.

Emperor Hongzhi had been to Tianjin Wei before, this time he arrived in Tianjin City, stood on the city tower, climbed high and looked out, looking at the endless wilderness that used to be endless, and now, it has become countless residences and workshops, he sighed in his heart: "The power of the new deal has spread to Jinmen." ”

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "It's all brought by the Four Oceans Trading House and the steam ship, what about Tang Yin, isn't Tang Yin here to supervise the construction of ships, where did the people go?" ”

Fang Jifan stood aside, and his heart was also very eager, the dearest disciple, Tang Yin is here, the master and apprentice, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, the wind here was a little strong, but he was full of interest, turned around, and said to Baiguan: "The price of land here must have skyrocketed." ”

The officials shrank their necks one by one, to be honest, the weather was too cold and the wind was strong, they couldn't stand it, but when they heard the land price...... They were all stunned.

Yes, if you had hoarded land here......

In this way, what will be the future prospects of this Jingshi gateway, the first port of the Ming Dynasty in the future, a super hub connecting canals, railways and shipping?

I'm really blind.

Fang Jifan smiled.

Emperor Hongzhi's gaze fell on Fang Jifan: "Jifan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Fang Jifan's bitter gourd face: "I didn't laugh ......"

Zhu Houzhao said beautifully beside him: "Father, don't ask him, ask him, he didn't dare to say, at the beginning, Lao Fang and his sons, especially his sons, borrowed a large amount of silver, and bought three or four percent of the land in Tianjinwei, you see, father, from Dagukou to here, and then there, these lands are all ours." ”

He danced with his strokes and looked beautiful.

Emperor Hongji: "......"

He then glanced at Fang Jifan angrily, as if to say, why didn't he bring me with him in the first place.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, Erchen...... Erchen ......"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "That's it, this is your young man's business." ”

He was very tolerant.

Fang Jifan's vision is excellent, of course, he will never enjoy it alone, he will always take the crown prince with him. With the prince's unconscious temperament, this economic way, Emperor Hongzhi did not expect him to be able to open up, and Emperor Hongzhi was relieved to have Fang Jifan with him.

Behind him, the officials gasped one by one.

Groove ...... Qi Guogong's dog thing......

Someone pulled Wang Bushi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Master Wang, you also bought it." ”

Wang Bushi pushed his sunglasses with his hand and said coldly: "The silver in the world is inexhaustible, there are 10,000 ways to make money, Tianjin Wei, not the old man can operate." ”

The person who asked wanted to ridicule Wang Bushi.

Aren't you very good at earning money?

Did you buy it?

But as soon as he heard Wang Bushi's words, he suddenly felt like he had received a critical hit of 10,000 points.

10,000 ......

Wang Bushi...... You're a dog thing too.

Wang Bushi just smiled, he was telling the truth.

He has many ways to earn silver, but Tianjin Wei's silver is hot, and the reason is because it is too influenced by Xishan and Siyang Commercial Firms.

When you don't have much money at the beginning, you can gamble. But once its own capital has formed a scale, then heavy capital pressure on the land of Tianjin Wei is not the best choice.

Only Shen Wen, a university scholar, looked at Zhu Houzhao's back with a resentful expression, and blinked in his eyes, as if to say, pay back the money!

Zhu Houzhao didn't notice the strangeness behind him, his hand stretched out, like a few treasures, and pointed: "Father, look there, close to the canal, a road network will be built to connect with the railway, and in the future, countless goods will be unloaded here." Not only that, but the railway will also be extended to Dagukou, where a Palembo port will be built for the handling of goods. There are more than 60 docks in Tanggu, and the largest is the Xishan Shipbuilding Bureau, which is used to manufacture the latest steam ships...... Now Tianjin Wei is here, the influx of displaced people is the largest, and the demand for people here is also the largest, even far exceeding Jingshi and Tongzhou. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Of course, this is thanks to Tang Yin, Father, you don't know, the officials who were stationed here in the past did not have a few top uses, and the future of Tianjin is so great, how can you rest assured that they will take care of it." But Tang Yin is different, Tang Yin is the commander of the undefeated fleet in the East, and he is the minister of the imperial court, he came here, naturally, this Tianjin Wei, he has the final say, the coastal defense, government affairs, and shipbuilding here are now in charge of Tang Yin, oops, Tang Yin is a good person, and the ministers like him very much. ”

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao with disdain, and hurriedly turned his face to the side.

This stinky and shameless thing, the so-called liking Tang Yin, with the element of interests, so much of the prince's net worth is pressed on Tianjin Wei, and his hopes are pinned on Tang Yin, can you not like it?

I am different, my love for Tang Yin is pure, not stained with any interests, and it is also deep. The relationship between teachers and students is like father and son, in the words of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, it is 'Nai Gongye', in the vernacular: I am your father.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Tang Yin has a good temperament, but sometimes, he is a little pedantic, but ...... It's a buildable material. ”

Emperor Hongzhi also praised Tang Yin.

As he was talking, a eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Master Tang has arrived." ”

Tang Yin's real official position was that of a scholar of Hanlin, who commanded the undefeated fleet in the East, supervised the construction of ships, and recruited sailors.

Emperor Hongzhi listened: "Come, call up." ”

Tang Yin looked tired, and he was much thinner, so he hurriedly climbed the city tower, and when he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he bowed: "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Then, he raised his head and glanced at Fang Jifan, with surprise in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face: "Tang Qing's family, I am here to drive here, you are a nobleman, not only did you not come to greet you, but you were late, why, do you want someone to carry you in a sedan chair?" ”

Tang Yin was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry, when the minister received the news, he was in Tanggu, and he came all the way, but it was still late, and the minister died, so I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was just a temptation.

Seeing Tang Yin's dusty appearance, if he wanted to come, he must have come in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Get up, Fang Cai, the prince is praising you, saying that you are a capable minister, prince, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "What my father said is very true. ”
