Zhang Heling wanted to die at this moment.

Duke of the State...

Duke...

I, the Marquis of Shouning, earned it with my sister.

But the Duke of the State is different. With the Zhang family's urinary nature, he will never be able to earn it in his entire life.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, a group of outstanding people were granted the title of Duke, and then killed a group of Dukes by Emperor Taizu Gao. Later, during the Jingnan Dynasty, another group of Dukes was granted, but even at such a storm, there were only six Dukes who remained.

After that, there was no more Duke.

It was not until the Hongzhi Dynasty that Nanhebo Fang Jinglong was favored by the emperor, pacified the southwest, and settled Jiaozhi. Because his son made great contributions, he sailed out to the sea to the isolated Golden Continent, and thus he was granted a Duke.

This contribution to suppressing the Japanese was enough to make a marquis become a Duke.

Such a good opportunity...no...no more.

Looking at Fang Jifan with a modest look on his face, Shouning Hou's first reaction was to find a knife to kill this shameless dog.

He cried.

Tears fell down, thinking of his father, thinking of his old father, thinking of his ancestors and ancestors. If they knew about it in the spring, the coffin board would not be able to cover it, and they would definitely get up and kill themselves.

This cry is like a soul-breaking death.

All the ministers only said that the Marquis of Shouning and Jianchang Bo had gone to sea for many years. Now that they have returned home, they have received credit. They are loved by Your Majesty. Because of their hard work, they are generously given by Your Majesty. Therefore, they are moved to tears. Seeing the two of them as thin as skinny, the ministers couldn't help but sigh that they are really hard work. It's really hard, and their hard work is just right.

Emperor Hongzhi was still immersed in this great achievement. The trouble of Japanese pirates was completely solved in my hands, hahaha... the ancestors and ancestors blessed.

He looked at Fang Jifan: "The Ministry of Rites must immediately draft a charter and send it to me. All the meritorious soldiers need to be rewarded. Fang Jifan's official account must also be drafted early. Since his father was Duke of Lu, Fang Jifan was his son, so he might as well be Duke of Qi. What?"

Qilu...Qilu...

Fang Jifan thought it was pretty good, so Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the wise man."

Just about to say it.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Today's discussion, oh, Shouning Hou, what else is there?"

Zhang Heling finally put away his tears: "I... I have something to report. I and my brother have found a large number of silver veins in the southern part of the Golden Continent. The veins are continuous for hundreds of miles and have extremely high purity. They are located on the plateau. The local natives regard silver as dung. Your Majesty... This mine was discovered by our brothers, Your Majesty..."

He blinked and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

It basically means...

After hearing this, Hongzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Silver... What the Ming Dynasty lacks is silver.

Although there is continuous import of overseas silver, such precious metals are still in short supply, especially now that commerce is developing very fast.

Even though the banknotes of Xishan Money House replaced a large number of silver transactions, after all...the current status is the silver standard, and the silver... is still irreplaceable. Even... the banknotes issued by Xishan Money House itself need silver as a deposit base. Otherwise, if the banknotes are run, they will die and have no place to bury them.

Emperor Hongzhi heard the two amazing words: "What is the reserve?"

Zhang Heling looked at his brother-in-law. Now... his greatest hope in his life is this mine. He said, "I'm afraid it has ten times more reserves than my Daming Silver Mine."

“Buzz buzz…”

The court suddenly became boiling.

Silver...white silver.

Who doesn't like this?

only……

Wang Ao suddenly felt his neck chilling, and countless vicious eyes looked at him.

At that time... was some old bastard who proposed to voyage to the West, and all the profits were also owned by the treasury.

This old thief is worse than a pig or a dog.

Wang Ao suddenly felt as if he was being hung on the pillar of shame and could not clear himself in his life.

Emperor Hongzhi was already very happy: "Blessed by our ancestors, this is the blessing of the country and my blessing."

Zhang Heling was stunned and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This is discovered by me and my brother after a lot of hardships. This... this is not a blessing for the national dynasty, this is..."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: "You brothers have worked hard and made great contributions, but the Zhang family and the country are together, and they are not separated from me. I am the country, and the country is the world. It also includes your family. How can you separate your family and the country..."

Zhang Heling shivered and looked at Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling whispered: "Brother, what does my brother-in-law mean? Is it our mine... gone?"

Zhang Heling: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "This is a huge matter. I immediately compiled a letter to Huangjinzhou and ordered the Duke of Lu to send someone to the place to explore and confirm its reserves and mining needs. This matter is of great importance and cannot be neglected. I will then order the Duke of Lu to submit a charter to determine the mining."

Zhang Heling: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked stern: "Marquis Shouning and Jianchang Bo have made new contributions. This time, he will be given 50 million gold to show his hard work. That's it."

Excited.

silver.

The treasury... is really rich now.

It's very exciting to think about it.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Wen, Emperor Xuan, Chenghua... Thinking of countless ancestors, they seemed to float in the air, looking at themselves with a pair of relief eyes.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that his tears almost wet his clothes, and my hard work over the years was not in vain.

By the way, if you want to build a ship, you have to build more ships. Only in this way can you transport the silver from that ship to the inner trough.

It is right to go to the West.

Now, the Ming Dynasty game is alive.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at the Zhang brothers: "You two have made Queen Zhang worry for nothing. Why are you doing here? Go and pay homage to Queen Zhang and let Queen Zhang take a good look at you."

"Your Majesty, I have a saying that you won't be happy if you don't vomit." Zhang Heling turned red and stopped crying, and wanted to say something.

Zhang Yanling suddenly got his senses today, suddenly walked forward, covering Zhang Heling's mouth: "Your Majesty, my brother doesn't want to say anything."

After dragging and dragging, Zhang Heling was dragged down.

All the officials were silent, without saying a word, all looked at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment.

There was light in everyone's eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi could see their eyes. This was the green light that only hungry wolf could have.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Today...this ends with you, please step back."

Fang Jifan immediately praised: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor."

The ministers looked at Fang Jifan again... and his eyes were still green.

…………

Fang Jifan walked out of Fengtian Hall and suddenly felt a sense of confidence in life.

He had always had no expectations for human nature, because there were too many dark sides in human nature.

But now... looking around, it is all bright, ah... blue sky, ah... sea... ah... a beautiful world...

Our side of the family, Jifan... has become a duke, so we quickly gave birth to another child. He is a duke of two countries, and he is a very powerful minister, and he walks more handsomely than others.

Ha ha ha ha……

Thanks to my own tips.

Um?

Why can't I remember the secrets?

Fang Jifan couldn't help but patted his head. It seemed that kindness and modesty were really our nature. If you did good things, you can't remember them and your personality was sublimated.

With his hands behind his back, several disciples were already pouring up, surging himself.

That look made Fang Jifan feel scared.

"Mr...." Wang Shouren's eyes were wet. This time, he truly admired his mentor. His mentor was really proud.

Fang Jifan suppressed his hands: "Don't ask about the secrets again. I really can't remember it. In a few days, I will hold a drink. You hurry up and bring more relatives and friends. Your Majesty loves you and entrusts you to the Duke. This is a joy in life. It is better to have fun alone. Each student will give you ten tables of banquets, and each disciple will give you three tables. You are not allowed to come with children. You don't like many children. It's too noisy. At that time, you will set up thousands of tables to sit down for him and eat his niang ten days and ten nights. Remember, you have ten tables and one table is missing. You will pay for the gifts by yourself. The gifts are small, and the teacher cares more about face and the teacher's shame."

But at this moment.

An eunuch came in a hurry: "Emperor Fang, Emperor Fang..."

The eunuch panted, his eyes shining, and he looked at Fang Jifan: "Hurry, hurry, Empress Zhang invites you to..."

Fang Jifan shuffled his clothes: "Come here."

My mother-in-law had an order, but Fang Jifan dared not be negligent. He hurried to Kunning Palace and heard the two brothers howling like a pig killer.

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, it was really touching, just like one of my disciples, Xu Jing. He returned from sea before, and he cried like this in the dark, which shows that there is true love in the world.

When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw Queen Zhang's eyes sing tears. The two brothers were crying and almost rolling on the ground.

When Empress Zhang saw Fang Jifan, her eyes shone: "Jifan, come, come forward, hey, these two brothers in my palace have finally come back. As soon as they came back, they saw that they cried so much that they cried. They asked the people around them, and then they realized that they had all been given face-to-face advice and gifted a gift. Why didn't you say it earlier? If I had known it before, they had a more secret mission. I think that if you had such a magical plan, you would definitely ensure that they came back safely. You should tell the truth to me, why... I'm worried."

Empress Zhang was telling the truth. Every step in the treasure trove seven or eight years ago was predicted by Fang Jifan. This was simply the rebirth of Kong Ming. Of course, Fang Jifan knew everything, and the so-called mastery was nothing but that.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "My son is ashamed, my son... has forgotten this matter."
