I heard the words two million taels of silver.

Wang Bushi felt a chill down his spine.

He was extremely optimistic about this four-foreign trading house.

The demand for sea trade is huge, and the commercial banks that can be allowed to operate are the only one of the four foreign commercial banks, as long as the four foreign commercial banks are a little more reliable, take advantage of this advantage, open up the situation, and the future prospects are unlimited.

But here's the problem...... Wang Bushi has no money.

He is not a workshop for printing silver tickets in Xishan Qianzhuang, and he can take as much cash as he wants.

Although he claims to have tens of millions of taels of silver, most of them are in stocks, mansions and land, these things, for a while, it is difficult to realize, where did he get the two million taels of silver to buy the shares of the Four Oceans Commercial Bank?

He couldn't help but tuck the hem of Deng Jian's sleeve.

Deng Jian bowed: "What else does the master have to order?" ”

"I ......," Wang Bushi said, "You have read the accounts in the house, right?" ”

"Yes." Deng Jian said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Wang, this account is clear and clear, Master Wang has 370,000 taels of silver in his hand, but it doesn't matter." He winked at Wang Bushi: "Master Wang is a big customer of Xishan Qianzhuang, as long as he takes stocks, land, and mansions to mortgage, how much silver can't he borrow?" My dear young master......"

Every time I hear Deng Jian, I will use the word 'pro' to distinguish between the Fang family and the Wang family, Wang Bushi has a feeling of being raised by a stepmother, and he dares to love your dog surnamed Deng, which is looking for me, who is not pro.

"He has commanded, silver, ready to be taken. Master Wang, don't worry, I wanted to report five million taels just now, but I was afraid that other businessmen would be scared, so I ......"

The muscles on Wang Bushi's face twitched......

With Wang Bushi opening this head, and there is a precedent for railway stocks, the businessmen are enthusiastic and subscribe one after another, saying: "I'll take 50,000 shares." ”

"I'll take 10,000 shares."

The subscription process is extremely fast.

An hour later, more than 10 million shares were subscribed.

Wang Bushi wore sunglasses and got up to leave.

…………

This time, he had to go and see Fang Jifan.

Dozens of carriages stopped at the door of Fang's house.

This Fang family...... It's different from bewitching sluts like Wang Bushi.

The quaint gate is not luxurious, and the instrument gate and stone workshop in front of the door all have traces of time.

Stepping into it, there is no difference from the ordinary mansion, neither gilded nor strange glass, but a little more quiet and elegant.

Fang Jifan sat in the hall, not wearing sunglasses.

has been a human being in two lives, and Fang Jifan has always thought that people who wear sunglasses are either little brother Ma or prodigal goods with holes in their brains.

And he is a man who cares about the world, cleans himself, takes thrift as a traditional virtue, inherits all the essence of his 5,000-year-old civilization, and removes the chaff.

At this time, Liu Jin knelt at Fang Jifan's feet and listened to the teachings.

"30 million taels of silver, I raised it for you, of which our Fang family, there are also 5 million taels, Your Majesty's shares, needless to say, you look at it yourself, this Siyang Commercial Bank, is the skin of the Strategic Security Bureau, externally, you are doing sea trade, inside, but for me to spread the ears and eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the silver has to be earned, the news has to be investigated, do well, your future in the future, it is unlimited, but if you don't do it well, you will also give me a discount, you don't let me see me, the prince, you can't explain it, die outside."

Liu Jin looked excited and frightened, kowtowing like garlic: "Grandson knows, grandson has already started to prepare now." Sun Er now has three ideas, one of which is those Franc prisoners, and now Sun Er is screening them, but whatever can be used by the Strategic Support Bureau, Sun Er is trying to find ways to entrap them. In addition, Sun Er is wondering whether to open a foreign language academy in Xishan to teach various Chinese languages, and in the future, these people can also be used by the Security Bureau. The third is that the grandson used to be in Baoding Mansion, but there is a group of henchmen, these people, slaves and maids will select some clever ones, and send them to the West first, so that they are gradually familiar with some local customs, do not use them for the time being, observe them in the West, whether they can gain a foothold, if they are available, they will come from the collection, if they can't be used, they will be taught to fend for themselves. ”

In history, Liu Jin was able to become the 'Emperor', the head of the Eight Tigers, and was rampant for a while, if it was impossible to say that he only relied on Zhu Houzhao.

What's more, over the years, he has suffered a lot, suffered a lot of sins, and is usually clever, but now, it can be regarded as sharpened and has a little appearance.

He continued: "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, the godfather, I really didn't say to my grandson, with these 30 million taels of silver as a book, and with the support of His Royal Highness the Prince and my godgrandfather, if my grandson can't do something, then it's really mud that can't support the wall, and my grandson still thinks that the recruited Francois can be co-opted, but ...... It can only be used, but it can also be completely assured; And those henchmen of the slaves and maids, although they are more assured, but most of them are just people in the market, and they may not be able to wave their arms when they go overseas. This foreign language academy, teaching various Chinese languages, recruits how many readers who can read and break words, supplemented by some riding and archery skills, can sharpen their minds, such people, both at ease, and have the ability, can be used as a backbone, even the source of life, grandchildren also think well. A few years ago, when I went to sea, I died overseas, and there were many sailors and sailors, the orphans of these people...... Isn't Xishan all let them be free and enter the Mongolian Academy, it is better to select a group of them, they have the foundation to study, if they want to do something big in the future, they will enter the foreign language academy......"

When Fang Jifan heard this, he was moved.

Liu Jin, the grandson, is really whimsical.

It is not so much a foreign language academy as a military academy specializing in the training of spies.

But if you want to do great things, you must first have talents...... Now that the silver is available, there is a shortage of talent.

Fang Jifan squinted: "Yes, this matter...... I will explain, but first of all, these young people, entering the academy, their tuition fees, are all from the Siyang Commercial Bank, to the outside world, that is, to entrust Xishan College, to cultivate a group of talents in maritime trade, as for how to train, what knowledge to teach, I will deal with it. ”

Liu Jin was overjoyed, as if he was relieved: "But if the grandfather goes out, then the grandson won't worry about it at all." On the slave and maid's side, first focus on inspecting those henchmen and the captives of the Franco, and try their best to select a group of people who can be used, and first lay the skeleton well. ”

Fang Jifan nodded, but he thought in his heart, since the words of this foreign language academy involved overseas, then ...... In peacetime, it is necessary to drill and drill, let them learn skills such as fighting and espionage, and at the same time, learn languages, and even some methods of 'rooster and dog thief', but ...... Who will be the dean of this academy? ”

The current Xishan College has more than a dozen academies, including the School of Commerce, the School of Mechanics, the College of Mathematics, the School of Medicine, the College of Engineering and the Mongolian College in various places, etc., Fang Jifan is the ancestor of the college, but almost every academy under it, most of them are led by their own apprentices and grandchildren.

Now, this foreign language academy should not be neglected.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, but for all the countries in the world, it is necessary to maintain vigilance, and you must not think that you are the superior country of the Celestial Empire, so you are arrogant and above the top.

Fang Jifan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart.

In fact...... He has a candidate.

He glanced at Liu Jin: "Later, I want to have a treat, you go and invite His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Liu Jin answered, and he was busy.

After a while, someone came to report: "Young master, Wang Bushi came to ask for a meeting, saying that there is something ...... something."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "No, I don't recognize him, let him go!" ”

Visitor: "......"

…………

Wang Bushi had been waiting outside, and when he heard the roar of Fang Jifan inside, he began to doubt his life again.

Deng Jian was empathetic and comforted him on the side: "Master Wang, don't take it to heart, this young master of my family has always been like this, he didn't really dislike Lord Wang, he just ...... Character, character, hahaha......"

Wang Bushi: "......"

When you think about it, it's true.

This Daming, if anyone opens his mouth, let people go, to be honest, unless this person is the emperor, or your father, people will be enthusiastic, and they will be insulted.

Can it be ...... In the face of this Fang Jifan, you really don't have any temper at all.

Fang Jifan, this dog thing, brainless, he is like this.

Wang Bushi sighed, helped the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, put his hands behind his back, and wrote lightly: "Go." ”

If you don't see it, you won't see it, I, the king, also have a temper.

……

Zhu Houzhao heard that Fang Jifan invited him to dinner, and he rushed from the Steam Research Institute to hurry up.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he was panicking.

"What are you doing?"

Fang Jifan said: "Have you eaten?" In Sanskrit, how to say. ”

Zhu Houzhao said smoothly.

Fang Jifan said again: "What about the Usi Tibetan language? ”

Zhu Houzhao naturally chattered for a while.

Fang Jifan said: "What about the Japanese and Tatar languages? ”

Zhu Houzhao felt impatient: "I'll talk to you about Huihui and Korean and Portuguese by the way." ”

As he spoke, he spoke all the words in one breath.

Talent.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao very convincingly.

This guy is simply a genius, Zhu Houzhao in history, he has been interested in languages since he was a child, he can speak the Western Regions, Huihui, Tatar, Uszang, North Korea and other languages, and even Sanskrit, this is not a joke, it is a real thing.

As for Portuguese, it was later learned by Zhu Houzhao from contact with the captives of Franco.

Fang Jifan cocked his thumb: "Your Highness is really the first person in ancient and modern times." ”

"Of course." Zhu Houzhao said: "If you have half of the palace, it is very remarkable." ”
