When I was looking for Liu Jin, I was on a stretcher.

The medical student from Suifeiqiu Camp carefully checked the world's head, and confirmed that it was intact and that his limbs seemed to be without any signs of breaking.

The huge umbrella cloth rolled him up, and finally someone cut the wrapped rope with a dagger.

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

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

Zhu Houzhao gasped and couldn't help but danced: "Okay, okay..."

He danced happily.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao said: "It's so great. Our parachute has been successful and can be put into use, hahaha..."

Liu Jin seemed a little aggrieved.

Fang Jifan stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "This time, you have made great contributions, and Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to reward you."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "Why don't you give me a reward? What's the best thing to give me?"

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin with a smile.

Liu Jin stared at Zhu Houzhao with his eyes shining.

This is his grandson, of course he cannot suffer any loss.

Fang Jifan said slowly: "Your Highness, I think Liu Jin is a talented person, who can jump and eat. There are no eunuchs who can be so talented in all dynasties. Why not? How about His Highness the Crown Prince asks him for his orders and let him go to the West Factory?"

West Factory…

Zhu Houzhao was shocked.

Liu Jin shivered too.

Grandpa is crazy.

During the Chenghua period, Emperor Chenghua was suspicious, so he set up a Western factory above the East Factory. What he asked about was something that was witchy and confusing the public. However... The Western Factory took this opportunity to expand and Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, but the Western Factory was revoked.

At this time, Fang Jifan proposed to establish a Western Factory.

Isn't this seeking death?

You know, the factory guards have always been responsible to the emperor.

Liu Jin is from the Eastern Palace, how could he... let him have the right to spy on spies?

Liu Jin shook his head quickly: "I dare not, I dare not, my grandson dare not."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "This Western Factory is just a title, and it can be called anything, even if it is called an internal factory or an external factory."

"Of course, its real responsibility is different from the East Factory and the Jinyiwei. You also know that at the moment, my Ming Dynasty's voyage to the West, there were both Franchise people eyeing each other and other countries ready to move. None of the countries in the world was a fuel-efficient lamp. In order to ensure the route and clear the obstacles to the Ming Dynasty's voyages, we should establish branches and spy on military information overseas, especially to prevent them. Just as the last time, the Franchise people attacked Xinjin or attacked Dengzhou again happened again. These people naturally must not move in our two capitals and thirteen provinces, otherwise, there will inevitably be some taboos. But overseas, there are people who need to move around everywhere. Your Majesty has been old and has not been as good as before. Going to the West is a national policy. Your Highness should share your worries for Your Majesty, so he submitted a memorial to ask for such an institution to share your worries for Your Majesty. What's wrong with it?"

Spying overseas!

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

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many things that eunuchs made, such as east factories, west factories, and inner factories.

It's just this layman...

It sounds a bit...

Fang Jifan was calm and composed: "This name is not good, it has deteriorated our prestige, so you should be more domineering."

"That's called the Governor of the East, West, South, and Beiyang Town Office..."

Fang Jifan felt his neck chill: "Your Highness, be low-key, don't cheat my grandson. Maybe, just call it the Western Strategic Support Bureau, I think this one is..."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Support, why do you look like a military officer? It's not interesting."

Fang Jifan said: "This spy is secret and unrecognizable. The lower the key, the better. There are no gongs and drums, so I'm afraid that everyone will not know it. Liu Jin..."

Liu Jin's body trembled.

He knew that it was his godfather who was politely polite himself.

Think about it, I was a member of the Eastern Palace and had already mastered the power of spy overseas. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, it would naturally be legitimate and he would incorporate the factory guards. At that time, what is the person named Xiao? If we want to pinch him, we will pinch him flat. If we want to round him, we will round him.

Liu Jin knelt down and said, "Here, here."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "From you just now, you are brave and meticulous, and you are a rare talent. Now Your Highness is going to give you a great mission, so why don't you thank me quickly? In the past few days, Your Highness will ask Your Majesty for your order. You are in the Eastern Palace, take a few days off and wait for your order."

Liu Jin kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Thank you, Your Highness, and Thank you, Grandpa Gan."

Zhu Houzhao looked speechless: "Hey, I haven't agreed yet."

…………

The trading market in Xincheng is still very lively and crowded.

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

But today, there is a special phenomenon.

Baoding Railway Bureau has officially been listed and has begun to raise funds from merchants, investing in shares based on the amount of money, and in the future, after the railway is built, those who invest will participate in dividends.

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

Not only was there a sign to build a railway, but there were also notices posted next to this sign.

It states in detail how to protect private equity shares and enjoy various rights and interests.

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

The merchants were excitedly discussing that they were the most leading people in this era and trendsetters because they had the widest horizon and were the easiest to accept fresh matters.

But even so, when we really want to pay money, most of them are still waiting and watching.

What is issued now is 10 million shares, 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 who took action.

This news immediately spread like wildfire, and soon... Emperor Hongzhi called Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi is a financial expert... But he is different from Liu Wenshan, who is a disciple of Fang Jifan. If Fang Jifan is involved, Emperor Hongzhi is more inclined to ask Wang Bushi for advice.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "You have heard of Wang Qing's family, the trading center's affairs."

Wang Bushi nodded: "Reply to Your Majesty, I have heard of it."

"What do you think about this?"

"This is a new thing." Wang Bushi said: "At present, a large amount of silver in our Ming Dynasty flows from overseas. The price of silver is getting worse every year. In addition, the circulation of silver notes and the exchange of exchanges, there are more and more silver on the market. Therefore, the silver in the hands of many people is also cheaper. Silver is not valuable. In order to prevent such inflation from happening in the future, people are inevitably afraid to store the silver in their hands, but tend to spend the silver as quickly as possible."

"But it's not easy to spend. In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, we just buy a mansion. But over the past year, the price of a mansion has been relatively stable. Although it has risen slightly, it will not be as long as before."

"At this time, the wealthy businessman and ordinary people were holding silver in their hands, but they didn't know what to do. Your Majesty... I think that the Duke of Qi and Ouyang Zhi launched is a bit meaningful. Now everyone knows that investing in production is profitable, so many wealthy businessmen are willing to invest in the workshop and share dividends with others. It's a pity... There are two problems here. One is that investing in the workshop requires enough financial resources. Without tens of thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver, you dare not imagine it. Secondly, it is easy to cause disputes. However, the railway bureau puts shares and dividends directly on the table and allows people to do so.

If you buy ten taels of silver, you can buy ten shares, one hundred taels of silver, or you can buy them. If there are 100,000, 500,000 taels... Not to mention, it can be said that both young and old are suitable for each other, and they eat together. If there are too many people who buy, they can share the risks together. At the same time, if everyone buys this shares, they can support Baoding Prefecture to build the railway. Baoding Prefecture built the road, which brought convenience, so that countless craftsmen can get salary, countless workshops, and orders; and if the railway can make a profit in the future, these people who bought shares can make profits. This is a win-win situation, and it will be great benefits for the country and the people."

After Wang Bushiyi's analysis.

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding.

but……

He looked up and stared at Wang Bushi: "But I don't believe that something can be perfect. If this is the case, then the world will be peaceful long ago. Everything will be beneficial and harmful. Is there no harm in this thing?"

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

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "So your family thinks there will be such a situation?"

Wang Bushi shook his head: "I don't think so."

"You don't think so, is it because you are afraid of Fang Jifan?"

"No." Wang Bushi shook his head: "I don't think so. It is precisely because it is Duke Qi, Duke Qi has a great heart. The railway bureau has been listed. This is the overall situation. He will never smash his own plate because of this. Therefore, he will definitely succeed."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "You look down on him very much."

"It's not just that I am worthy of it. I have a little money, so I plan to buy three million shares. The cost is three million taels, and I spend three million taels to support the railway bureau. So your Majesty thinks, do I have confidence in the railway?" Wang Bushi said lightly.

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

He felt a silly feeling in his heart.

If you don’t serve, you can easily take out three million taels of silver? How much money is there in my treasury?
