Fang Jifan heard that there was a lot of trouble in the palace, and he was so frightened that he entered the palace.

However, since it was a matter between father and son, when Fang Jifan arrived at the noon gate, he deliberately slowed down his pace.

If you want to give the father and son enough time to communicate, why do you have a lot of fun, you go in a hurry, maybe it will cause obstacles to their communication.

When he arrived at the Fengtian Palace, sure enough, the sparks rubbed between father and son had gradually cooled down.

Zhu Houzhao was covered in bruises, his eyes widened, and he looked unconvinced.

Emperor Hongzhi was still angry and glared at Zhu Houzhao fiercely.

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that although His Majesty was still angry, he had gradually lost a little bit of anger.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and saluted: "Erchen has seen Your Majesty. Ah, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's going on? ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Hmph, ask him!" ”

Fang Jifan sneered, he didn't dare to ask.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down, this meal was easy to fight, like a storm, and it was a happy fight, but this guy was really hard wings, and after the fight, he dared to collide.

It's infuriating.

Seeing Fang Jifan at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi didn't give a good face, he said angrily: "Jifan, do you know what kind of crime it is to slander Emperor Taizu Gao?" ”

Fang Jifan said without hesitation: "Back to Your Majesty's words, slandering Emperor Taizu Gao is a great crime of disrespect, a heinous crime, a conspiracy, and a crime against the three clans." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's heart instantly felt a little more comfortable, but his face was still solemn, and he snorted coldly from the corner of his mouth: "Then, what if the prince is disrespectful." ”

Fang Jifan said embarrassedly: "The crown prince is the prince of the country, he is still young, and he is still a child......

When he said this, Fang Jifan's subconscious face flushed slightly: "I think Your Majesty is of course forgiving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Emperor Hongzhi squinted, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and asked coldly: "Then, what if you Fang Jifan also slandered Emperor Taizu Gao?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao,, Xiao Zhu, you sold me.

Zhu Houzhao chirped, still looking unconvinced, seeing that Fang Jifan looked at him, at this time he glanced at Fang Jifan, and said loudly: "Look at what I do, I will betray my brother, I just said, father, why beat me, Fang Jifan They all said it!" Is this a betrayal? ”

Fang Jifan: "......"

Fang Jifan cautiously looked at Emperor Hongzhi's face.

But I saw that Emperor Hongzhi was really angry.

Deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is a matter that heaven does not tolerate.

Even when the new school began to emerge, even the emperor agreed with these ideas.

But that doesn't mean you guys can be so presumptuous.

You were addicted, but you didn't expect the seriousness behind this, he was suddenly speechless, what a bunch of pit goods!

Fortunately, Fang Jifan immediately came back to his senses, and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, Erchen did not slander Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "No, could it be that the prince is lying?" ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Erchen is indeed courageous, he has commented on Emperor Taizu Gao, saying that it is Emperor Taizu Gao, who has killed a lot of heroes. ”

Emperor Hongzhi stroked the case and frowned.

It is also true that when Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Hongzhi, as the son and grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, naturally did not want to mention this matter, which is called covering up. However, Emperor Hongzhi also knew that these deeds were extremely bad in the mouths of many scholars and scholars, although everyone did not dare to show it in the face, but in their hearts, there were many complaints.

Now you Fang Jifan don't open which pot to mention, what does this mean?

Fang Jifan couldn't help but explain.

"What Erchen said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is that when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, the world had experienced decades of war, the Yuan people were tyrannical, so that the people's livelihood withered and the people were poor. Because of this, Emperor Taizu Gao set the world, in order to recuperate, put an end to extravagance, lead the lessons of the Mengyuan Dynasty, restrain businessmen, and eliminate waste, this measure is not bad. ”

He paused, then continued with a serious and rigorous look.

"During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols were quite laissez-faire to the merchants, especially the Hui Shang, which was very popular, they encountered a disaster year, they united with the gentry, hoarded goods, annexed the land, and all of them silk and satin, the domestic servants who were raised, tens of thousands, countless treasures, rotted in their warehouses, and the ordinary people, but had to bear heavy servitude, in the event of a natural disaster, it was no harvest, and finally became a slave, which is why, Mo Dao Shiren one eye, beating the Yellow River in the world is the reason.

Because of this, Emperor Taizu Gao hated the problem of hoarding goods and speculation, so he learned from the experience of the demise of Meng Yuan. ”

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with his spare eyes, and when he saw Emperor Hongzhi listening carefully, he said slowly: "However, at this time and that time, the world needs to resume production, and the people who need to settle down need to reclaim wasteland. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with advocating diligence and thrift. Only now, this is not the same as it used to be. Nine times out of ten, the wealth of the world is in the hands of the merchants, and the merchants are now suspicious, if they refuse to take out the silver, Your Majesty, there are now dozens of millions of people, all rely on a large number of projects and workshops to make a living, if the merchants do not take out the silver to expand production, do not invest, are afraid of spending silver, but also learn to be diligent and thrifty, then ...... Do the people of this world still have something to do? The needs of the people are very simple, just to have something to eat......"

"In the Wealth of Nations, Liu Wenshan, a student of Erchen, once mentioned a thing, called 'domestic demand', that is, production comes from demand, and with demand, there is production, and in the production process, it is necessary to recruit manpower, and it is necessary to distribute money and grain to craftsmen and apprentices, and the commercial goods produced are purchased by those who are in demand, but the silver circulates into the hands of another merchant, and at the same time, it also flows into the hands of many craftsmen and apprentices. Thus...... The current situation is to let the silver flow continuously, and the faster it flows, so that the common people can also get a piece of the pie, so that they will not be left without food and clothing. ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao's past did make the merchants suspicious, they were afraid of revealing their wealth, worried that one day, their wealth would bring disaster to themselves, so although they took the risk to make a lot of profits at the beginning, but once the wealth reached a certain stage, they became cautious, and they began to follow the gentry, wanting to hide the huge wealth, and if it goes on like this, it will be bad."

"Therefore, to solve the biggest problem at the moment, it is necessary to oppose the practice of Emperor Taizu Gao, to let the businessmen feel at ease, rest assured and boldly expose their wealth, and to cause a fashion, only in this way can we avoid causing terrible problems."

Emperor Hongzhi knew this in his heart.

He had read the Wealth of Nations several times.

Liu Wenshan was there, and he also asked many times.

In the Wealth of Nations, one of the most terrible enemies is that the silver cannot flow, and once it does not flow, a large number of workshops, losing demand, will go out of business one after another, and countless craftsmen will lose their livelihoods as a result.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I see, this time and that time, yes, what the Qing family said is very good, in this way, at the moment, I am imminent, and I must let those merchants take out the silver?" ”

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, exactly, otherwise, stagflation is very likely to occur, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was cautious, he was a little helpless in his heart, and his eyes stared at Fang Jifan seriously.

Fang Jifan understood Emperor Hongzhi's heart very well.

It is easy for the emperor to kill people, but it is even more difficult to make people take out the silver.

Among the Ming Emperors, there are really few precedents who can teach people to pay money obediently and succeed.

Historically, Emperor Chongzhen borrowed money from the ministers, and at that time the imperial court was already in internal and external difficulties, and the world was about to be unprotected, but the ministers were still the same, or their hands were spread out, and there was no money.

Although when King Chuang entered the capital, countless riches were confiscated from the homes of these ministers who claimed to have no money.

From this, it is generally clear that even if Emperor Hongzhi is the Son of Heaven, what he can do is limited.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan for a while, and then said: "Jifan is taking precautions, it is really a plan for the country." ”

Zhu Houzhao was very angry: "Erchen also said so. ”

"Shut up!" Emperor Hongzhi looked at him angrily.

Zhu Houzhao was still not convinced, and continued to chirp, babbling and saying, "That's what I said...... Emperor Taizu Gao scared people...... Am I wrong? ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "So, Ji Fan, what do you think of this matter?" ”

He knew all too well how terrible this was.

Once the scenario described by Fang Jifan happens, then in the Gyeonggi area alone, there will be tens of millions of families who will lose their livelihoods and become displaced again...... This country and society can be completely in their own hands, and they are smashed.

Of course, that's just the worst-case scenario.

Fang Jifan said: "Therefore, Erchen invited a person to come to Jingshi, just to reverse this trend." ”

"Talent?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Jifan.

"This person's name is Deng Jian!"

Deng Jian......

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have any impression of this unfamiliar name.

Saying...... This person, unlike a well-known person, should not have been an official, nor is he a great Confucian.

Fang Jifan said: "He has always been a slave in the Erchen Mansion. ”

Slave...... Servant......

Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

For such a big matter, you Fang Jifan recruited a slave of your family to do things?

Fang Jifan said: "Three generations of his ancestors are slaves in the house of his sons, and he has special talents, his sons are thinking, this matter is very important, such a big task, let him do it, maybe it will work!" ”
