To be honest, if this is the case, Fang Jifan feels that Emperor Hongzhi is a little unkind.

Everyone took the risk and made such a great contribution, you say there is no reason to reward it.

Is this a human thing?

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi speechlessly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings.

Wang Shouren, this guy, is bold, but ...... It's also available.

God knows how Fang Jifan trained so many talents.

One is more against the sky than the other.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Fang Cai, in front of Xie Qian's Zhuqing family, you talked about the strategy of westward expansion, I feel that Ji Fan has nothing to say, but I didn't say it." ”

"Yes." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's just in front of them, it's inconvenient to say, only a person like Your Majesty can understand." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, this is very good.

Fang Jifan said: "Actually, the key to the westward expansion strategy lies in the silver!" Without silver, it is impossible to do, hundreds of millions of people go west, and they still need to fight all the way, which costs, how much grain is it, relying on the court alone, I am afraid that it will not be possible. But...... Your Majesty, the ministers thought that since the court had no silver, but the people had silver. With so many rich businessmen, they have money. ”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized: "The politics of salt and iron? ”

Of course, the politics of salt and iron here is not just as simple as the imperial court monopolizing salt and iron on paper, in fact, salt and iron have long been monopolized by the imperial court.

The origin of these four words lies in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to fight the Xiongnu, and the burden on the treasury was huge, so he carried out centralized power, changed the previous inaction, and began to crack down on the local heroes, taking this opportunity to gather the wealth of the world to support the expansion of the country.

Of course, the sequelae of this strategy are very large, and although the local heroes are hateful, it is very easy to cause resentment in the world with such a cruel method.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty forgot how to build the railway?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, so it's okay.

"Raise funds, package the desert departments, go public, first explain clearly, how much financial support is needed, and then, release the shares. Of course, since you want to go public, you need to have prospects, there needs to be profits, what are the prospects and profits? O land, Your Majesty, the shareholders of the world, put in the silver, feed these Tatars and Jurchens, provide them with weapons, all their spoils, how to distribute them, the land they have acquired, how to make a profit, or, how to distribute them, the future, the interests of the shareholders, how to protect them, how to distribute them. Erchen has calculated that much of the land that has been moved westward is not useless, and now that there are steam locomotives, the future is still very promising. For example, the pasture can be auctioned off, which is a profit, once it enters the far west, there are countless minerals there, not only that, I heard, once it crosses the Ural Mountains, there are countless fertile fields, fields...... It is food, and where the Tatars and Jurchen soldiers point to it, it is always profitable, and therefore ......"

Fang Jifan took a breath: "Therefore, this ...... that is packaged and listed We can call it a 'group', the name of the ministers have been thought of, the land, is the place where all the people settle down and work, you might as well, this group is called the happiness group, the happiness group, the pursuit is that everyone in the world has their own land, can settle down and work. Under this group, it was divided into three systems, one of which was a pioneering team of Jurchens and Tatars. the second is the logistics team organized by the imperial court; The third is the group asset disposal team formed by the shareholders according to the amount of their shares, all the land, forests, minerals, pastures, grain fields, and even the plundered population are handled by this asset disposal team, whether it is peddling, or mining and excavation by itself. All the benefits are then shared by the shareholders. ”

“……”

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Struck dumb.

This dog x is really ruthless.

"Happiness Group." Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, this name is very rare and eccentric.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "If you can really raise silver, someone is willing to buy stocks?" ”

He didn't think it was reliable.

How much is the land of the desert worth? There are also many minerals, most of them, thousands of miles away, and the cost of transportation is very scary.

Moreover, whether it can open up westward in the future, whether it will be successful, and whether it will encounter resistance are still two things.

Others are willing to buy a lot of the land that has been carved out.

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Majesty, the biggest benefit of stocks is not how much profit can be made in the future, but that people need to believe that the future is ...... How much benefit it can have, people are looking at tomorrow, ten or even a hundred years from now. This packaged and listed happiness group, want to make people interested, in fact, it is very simple, the imperial court can come up with a plan, just say where the happiness group is, the Ming railway, in the future, where to build! ”

"So...... Isn't that profitable enough? ”

Groove ......

The capacity of the railway, has been seen, it greatly shortens the distance, if the railway can really extend all the way, then, along the railway line, those mines along the line, as well as those pastures, and even those grain fields, maybe, it is really worth a lot of money.

But......

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "With such a long railway line, the imperial court has so much silver?" ”

The imperial court could not come up with so much silver for the railways of Baoding and Jingshi and Tongzhou, so they had to raise funds, and the railways that ran through the desert all the way, and even extended all the way to the west, which were tens of thousands of miles...... Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had sold the entire imperial family, and he could not sell this silver.

"Look at the problem from the perspective of development." Fang Jifan said quietly: "It's not really repaired, it's just a plan, the plan can be ten years, it can be twenty years, it can be thirty years, every three or five years, the imperial court will issue a will, light thunder, no rain, it's okay, the most important thing is to let people see the prospects, let people believe that in the future, the countless lands may double in value." When the time comes, plan the stations along the line or something, near this site, you can also plan a medical station, a school...... Even...... The imperial court can also set up provinces, prefectures and counties, and build a yamen in the areas along the line, and it will not cost a lot of money, right? The yamen was built, and a few unlucky people were appointed, no, some shrewd and capable officials were appointed, and this shelf, even if it was erected, let the world know that we have everything there, and if the silver is thrown, in the future, we may have to make a fortune. ”

"In this way, land and minerals can be sold at a price, land and minerals can be sold, stocks can climb higher and higher, and everyone is willing to take out real money and silver as support, and in the future, when the imperial court really has silver, and the steel output is enough to meet the demand, ten years, thirty years, one hundred years, even if a hundred years is not enough, after three hundred years, let's build a railway, it will not be a problem, right?"

Emperor Hongji: "......"

Wang Shouren felt his scalp tingle.

Teacher...... It's really heartbroken for Da Ming.

Three hundred years later, he planned it all.

Xiao Jing's face twitched, and he looked at Fang Jifan's eyes with some horror.

"The so-called stock market sells a concept, a story, a prospect, and even a ...... What is sold is a great ideal, as long as the story is well told, then the prospect is there, the concept is there, and people are willing to come up with real money for it, which is just like His Majesty governing the world, and the world of great governance will always be just a legend, but ...... Well, the kings of the past can work hard in this direction, if they don't even dare to think about it, then ...... Your Majesty has worked hard, and for what? ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Erchen has thought about it, this stock, Erchen will buy it first, Xishan will raise all the available silver, buy a batch, and the others, feel free." ”

Emperor Hongzhi gasped, and he pondered carefully.

Fang Jifan's story is indeed very moving.

Railways, provinces, yamen, schools, mines, grain fields, mountains and forests, and even theaters and pastures may be there in the future......

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes opened: "You go and try it first, if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement." ”

He stood up, and then glanced at Wang Shouren deeply: "Wang Qing's family, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Criminal Department for the time being, follow your teacher, mainly grasp this matter, in the future, I will be of great use to you." ”

It means that in the idea proposed by Fang Jifan, Wang Shouren may become the most important person.

This is also considered in disguise, so give a reward.

Fang Jifan bowed: "The sons obey the order." ”

Zhu Houzhao was beside him, listening to it with relish, and at this moment, his heart was also warm.

He liked Fang Jifan's plan, at least, this story moved him, and he loved this story.

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "The story of Qi Guogong ......"

He was halfway through his sentence.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing sideways, and suddenly said: "Xiao Companion, Abrupt and others conspired, why did the factory guard not realize it beforehand?" ”

Xiao Jing's face suddenly turned sallow.

He had only thought that he seemed to have missed out on a credit.

It hurts a lot.

Can ...... now It dawned on him that he remembered.

So he fell to the ground and said in a panic: "This ...... This ......"

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and said: "After I die, how dare I hand over my safety to the factory guards, how can I trust them?" ”

Xiao Jing trembled: "Slave ......"

He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation was pale and weak, so he had to say: "The sin of ten thousand deaths for slaves and maids." ”

"I see, this factory guard should be located in the depths of the desert, anyway, it's useless, it's better to move more Fanzi and school captains to the past, build a few Zhenfu Division, thousands of households, hundreds of households, maybe with the yamen, with people, it can also boost the value of a little land. It's best to have your relatives go with you, it's a little useful. ”
