When I found Liu Jin, I was on a stretcher.

The medical students who accompanied the Flying Ball Camp familiarly examined his head all over the world and confirmed that it was intact, and his limbs did not seem to be broken.

A huge umbrella cloth rolled him up, and with great difficulty, someone used a dagger to cut the ropes that were wound together.

When Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, he got off the stretcher and limped: "Your Highness, godfather." ”

He seemed to shout 'eggplant' again, and his smile was pure.

Zhu Houzhao gasped for breath, and couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows: "Okay, good......"

He danced with joy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao said: "It's really good, our parachute is successful and can be put into use, hahaha......"

Liu Jin seemed to have some grievances.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "This time, you have made a great contribution, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will reward you." ”

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao said arrogantly: "Reward, why don't you reward?" What a reward? ”

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin with a smile.

Liu Jin stared at Zhu Houzhao deadly, his eyes shining.

This is his own grandson, of course, he can't let him suffer.

Fang Jifan said slowly: "Your Highness, I think Liu Jin is a talent, he can both parachute and eat, no eunuch can be so versatile in all dynasties, how about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask for his life and let him go to the West Factory?" ”

West Plant ......

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback.

Liu Jin also shuddered.

Godgrandpa is crazy.

During the Chenghua period, the Chenghua Emperor was suspicious, so he set up the West Factory on top of the East Factory...... This West Factory took this opportunity to continue to expand, and Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, but the West Factory was revoked.

At this time, Fang Jifan proposed to establish the West Factory.

Isn't this looking for death?

You must know that this factory guard has always been responsible to the emperor.

Liu Jinnai is a person from the East Palace, how can it be...... Let him have the power of spy spying?

Liu Jin shook his head busily: "Don't dare, don't dare, grandchildren don't dare." ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "This West Factory is just a name, you can call it anything, even if it is called an inner factory or an outer factory." ”

Of course, its real responsibility is different from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. You also know that at present, I went to the West in the Ming Dynasty, there are both Francophone people eyeing the tiger, and there are countries that are ready to move, all the countries in the world, none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, in order to protect the route, clear the obstacles of my Ming Dynasty's prestige, it is reasonable to establish branches overseas, spy on the military situation, especially to take strict precautions, just like the last time, the Francos attacked Xinjin, or attacked my Dengzhou again. Naturally, these personnel must not be allowed to operate in our two capitals and thirteen provinces, otherwise, they will inevitably avoid it. But overseas, but there is a need for people, moving around, Your Majesty has been old for many years, and his health is not as good as before, and going to the West is a national policy, His Royal Highness the Prince, should share the worries for His Majesty, so he played, I implore the establishment of such an institution, for Your Majesty's worries, why not. ”

Spying Overseas!

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had something to do: "Then set it up under the Zhenguo Mansion, it's called ...... Called...... Layman's factory? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many things that eunuchs tossed out, such as the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Inner Factory.

It's just this layman's factory......

Sounds a little ......

Fang Jifan was calm: "This name is not good, it has fallen into our prestige, so we should be domineering." ”

"Then call the Governor of the Eastern, Western, Southern and Beiyang Town Mansions......"

Fang Jifan felt that his neck was cold: "Your Highness, keep a low profile, don't pit my grandson." Let's call it the Western Strategic Support Bureau, this name...... I think so. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Guarantee, how does it look like a quartermaster?" Nothing interesting. ”

Fang Jifan said: "This spy is a secret, the more low-key the better, where there is a gong and drum, lest everyone don't know." Liu Jin ......"

Liu Jin's body trembled.

He knew that this was his godfather lifting himself.

Think about it, he is still a person from the East Palace, and he has already mastered the power of overseas spying, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, then it is naturally justifiable, and the factory guard will be co-opted, and at that time, what is the surname Xiao? If we want to pinch him, we will pinch him flat, and if we want to round him, we will round him.

Liu Jin knelt on the ground with a puff: "Yes, here." ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Judging from your parachute jump, you are bold and careful, you are really a rare talent, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to give you a big responsibility, don't you hurry up and thank you, these days, His Royal Highness will ask His Majesty for life, you are in the East Palace, rest for a few days, wait for the will." ”

Liu Jin kowtowed like pounding garlic: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, Grandpa Xie Gan." ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless: "Hey, the palace hasn't agreed yet." ”

…………

In the trading market of the new city, it is still lively and full of people.

Countless merchants trade here, promoting their wares to each other.

Today, however, there is a special phenomenon.

Baoding Railway Bureau, officially listed, began to raise funds from businessmen, according to the amount of money, shares, and in the future, after the construction of the railway, the people who participate in the dividends.

As soon as the news came out, countless people came to watch.

Not only was there a sign for the construction of a railway, but a notice was also posted next to this sign.

It details how to protect the private placement shares and the various rights and interests they enjoy.

These shares can all be bought and sold and traded......

The businessmen excitedly discussed that they were the most advanced people in this era, and they were the trendsetters, because they had the widest horizons and were the most receptive to new affairs.

But even so, when it is really time to pay the money, the vast majority are still waiting.

Now the issue is 10 million shares, one share and one tael of silver.

But after all, real money is needed, and no one dares to take this risk.

Therefore, everyone talked a lot, but there was no one.

The news immediately spread and soon ...... Emperor Hongzhi summoned Wang Bushi.

This Wang Bushi is a financial expert...... However, he is different from Liu Wenshan, Liu Wenshan is Fang Jifan's protégé, if it involves Fang Jifan's affairs, Emperor Hongzhi is more inclined to ask Wang Bushi for advice.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "Wang Qing's family, you have heard a little about the trading center." ”

Wang Bushi nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard of it." ”

"What do you think about this?"

"It's something new." Wang Bushi said: "At present, I have a large amount of silver, flowing in from overseas, the price of silver, a year is not as good as a year, coupled with the circulation of silver tickets, there is no exchange, there is more and more silver on the market, therefore, the silver in the hands of many people is also cheap for a year." Silver is not valuable, in order to prevent such inflation in the future, it is inevitable that people do not dare to store silver in their hands, but tend to spend it as quickly as possible. ”

"But it's not easy to spend, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is to buy a mansion, but this year, the price of the mansion is quite stable, although it is slightly rising, but it is not as good as before."

"At this time, this rich merchant and ordinary people, holding the silver in their hands, do not know what to do, Your Majesty...... The minister thought that this launched by Qi Guogong and Ouyang Zhi was somewhat interesting. Now everyone knows that it is profitable to invest in production, so many wealthy merchants are willing to put their silver into the workshop and share the dividends with others. It's just a pity...... There are two problems here, one is to invest in workshops, which requires sufficient financial resources, and it is impossible to imagine without tens of thousands of taels of silver. Second, it is easy to cause disputes. The railway bureau, however, put the shares and dividends directly on the table, and let people buy them, ten taels of silver, you can buy ten shares, one hundred taels of silver, you can also buy, if there are 100,000 or 500,000 taels...... Not to mention, it can be said that it is suitable for all ages, and eats with all ages. At the same time, if you buy this share, you can support Baoding Mansion to build the railway, Baoding Mansion has built the road, bringing convenience, so that countless craftsmen can get salaries, countless workshops, and orders; In the future, if the railway can make a profit, it can also make these people who have bought shares make a profit, which is a great benefit to the country and the people. ”

After Wang Bushi's analysis.

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding.

But......

He raised his head and stared at Wang Bushi: "But I don't believe that one thing can be perfect, if so, then the world will be peaceful a long time ago." In everything, what is beneficial will be harmful, is there no harm in this thing? ”

"Yes." Wang Bushi said: "First, only God knows how the railway will be repaired in the future. Second, if the railway is completed, the profit will not be affected, but I am afraid that these people who bought shares will eventually make clothes for others. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Then the Qing family thinks that there will be such a situation?" ”

Wang Bushi shook his head: "The minister doesn't think so. ”

"Qing doesn't think so, is he afraid of Fang Jifan?"

"Nope." Wang Bushi shook his head: "The minister doesn't think so, just because it is the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Qi has a big heart, and the Railway Bureau is listed, this is the overall situation, he will never smash his plate because of this, so he will definitely succeed." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "You look up to him very much." ”

"Not only can I afford it, but the minister has a little money, so he plans to buy three million shares, and the cost required is three million taels, and he uses three million taels to support the railway bureau, so does Your Majesty think that the minister has confidence in the railway?" Wang Bushi said lightly.

Emperor Hongji: "......"

He had a feeling of being in a groove.

You Wang Bushi, it is easy to take out three million taels of silver? How much silver is in my inner money?

Of course, if he dares to take out three million taels of silver to support Fang Jifan's new concept, Emperor Hongzhi can be regarded as admiring this guy.
