Fang Jifan understood Zhu Houzhao very well.

His ambitions were much greater than those of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi hoped to guard one acre of three parts of the land, and his wife and children were passive. Looking around, it turned out that there was also a Golden Island. In order to allow his descendants to have a warm bed, there was no way to go and fight.

Zhu Houzhao is different.

Zhu Houzhao belongs to the kind of people who play swords all day long and look for enemies everywhere.

Fang Jifan sighed and faced Zhu Houzhao's hot gaze.

"Hey, Your Highness, what should I say about you? If Your Majesty learns the truth, what should I do? I still have a lot of money to spend."

Zhu Houzhao patted his shoulder: "We are friends, so I told you, have you said it straight, will you do it?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while and nodded: "The last time. Something happened, you come and take charge of the palace. I'm responsible for the rear guard."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I know you are loyal."

"Of course." Fang Jifan said: "This is passed down by his ancestors. I have told you that my eldest father is in Tumu Fort..."

"Don't mention Tumu Fort!" Zhu Houzhao's map spread out: "Look carefully, Wang Bushi will take people, where will he log in?"

Fang Jifan sighed, had to lower his head and look at the map: "I think the biggest possibility is Tanggu."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "No, the landing in Tanggu is the safest, but since Wang Xizuo is a fine work, it will definitely not lead the Spanish to land from Tanggu. I think... it is very likely to land at Dagukou. It is across the river from Tanggu. It is an excellent landing place. However, he thought he knew that I, the Ming Dynasty, had stationed military horses here, and I think it might be in Dagukou."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I think... it's not right. If Wang Xizuo wants to win the trust of the Spanish, he will never take the risk of cheating them, because he cannot be sure whether Spain has other channels to obtain information. It is best to hide his own way, just... seven points true and three points false. This dog has not stated the login location."

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "No matter where he landed, it would be right to arrange heavy troops in these two places."

Fang Jifan smiled without saying a word.

The next day, Emperor Hongzhi set up a commander and led his ministers to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei has begun to appear in the prototype of Dagang.

Even a piece of cargo warehouse has risen from the ground. In the future, there will be a railway connection here. There will be docks everywhere at the port, and canvas wooden ships and steam ships are built frantically.

The headquarters of Siyang Commercial Bank is located here.

In the future, countless goods will be transported from the inland to the distance from the railway. To the south, to the canal, to the south, to the south, to the west, to the sea, and then to the Siyang Trading Company to deliver the goods to all parts of the world.

certainly.

Now Siyang Commercial Bank is placing orders with money collected from the stock market. No, they are placing orders frantically. They have a huge demand for merchant ships. Even here, although the new policy has not yet begun, countless merchants have gathered, and various craftsmen have come here.

A large number of orders have spawned the shipbuilding industry.

Because the construction period was required, the dock had to recruit ship craftsmen of all kinds.

In addition, the construction of steam engines and ships is even more amazing. Many students who graduated from Xishan Academy work here. In order to make nearby manufacturing, Xishan Iron and Steel Workshop has established a huge steel mill here and has been expanded repeatedly.

Here...a thriving situation.

Emperor Hongzhi had been to Tianjin Wei before. This time he arrived in Tianjin City. He stood on the city tower and climbed up to look up. Looking at the endless fields that had once been seen, now it has become countless houses and workshops. He sighed in his heart: "The power of the new policy has actually affected Tianjin."

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "It was all brought by Siyang Trading Company and Steamboats. What about Tang Yin? Didn't Tang Yin supervise the construction of ships here? Where did the people go?"

Fang Jifan stood aside, and was also very enthusiastic. Tang Yin was here, the master and apprentice, who had not seen each other for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled. The wind was a little strong here, but he was full of interest. He turned around and said to the officials: "The land price here must have skyrocketed."

The officials all shrank their necks. To be honest, the weather was too cold and the wind was strong, so they couldn't stand it, but when they heard the land price... they were all confused.

Yes, if I had stocked up here...

In this way, what are the prospects of this capital port, the largest port in the future, and a super hub connecting canals, railways and sea transportation?

I am really blind.

Fang Jifan smiled.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Jifan, why are you laughing at?"

Fang Jifan's bitter face: "No laughing..."

Zhu Houzhao said happily, "Don't ask him, but after asking him, he dared not say that Lao Fang and his sons, especially his sons, borrowed a large amount of money and bought 30 to 40% of the land in Tianjin Wei. Look, the father, from Dagukou to here and then there, all these lands belong to us."

His hand-danced strokes were dancing and his face looked happy.

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

He then looked at Fang Jifan angrily, as if saying why he didn't bring me with him at the beginning.

Fang Jifan immediately said, "Your Majesty, my son... my son..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Forget it, this is your young people's business."

He was very tolerant.

Fang Jifan had a very good vision, of course, he would never enjoy it alone, and would always carry the prince. With the prince's nature of knowing it later, Emperor Hongzhi did not expect him to be enlightened. With Fang Jifan's guidance, Emperor Hongzhi would rest assured.

But behind him, all the officials were gasping for a cold air.

Damn... This dog thing from Duke of Qi...

Someone pulled Wang Bushi's sleeve and whispered: "Mr. Wang, you bought it too."

Wang Bushi pushed his sunglasses with his hand and said coldly: "There are endless money in the world. There are ten thousand ways to make money. Tianjin Wei is not something I can do."

The person who asked, I wanted to ridicule Wang Bushi.

Aren't you very good at making money?

Have you bought it?

But when he heard Wang Bushi's words, he felt like he was hit by a critical hit of 10,000 points.

Ten thousand kinds...

Wang Bushi... You are also a dog.

Wang Bushi just smiled, he was telling the truth.

He had many ways to earn money, but Tianjin Wei's money was hot. The reason was that it was too much influenced by Xishan and Siyang Commercial Banks. On the surface, it was a huge profit, but its plan was all in the hands of the prince and Fang Jifan.

When I didn’t have much capital, I could gamble. But once my capital formed a scale, then heavy capital was not the best choice to put on the land of Tianjin Wei.

Only Grand Secretary Shen Wen looked at Zhu Houzhao's back with a resentful look on his face, blinking in his eyes, as if he was saying, "Repay the money!"

Zhu Houzhao did not notice the strangeness behind him. He stretched out his hand and pointed at it like a family. "Father, look there, close to the canal, you will build a road network and connect with the railway. In the future, countless goods will be unloaded here. Not only that, the railway will also extend to Dagukou. A Palembang will be built at Dagukou for the transportation of goods. There will be many docks in Tanggu, and the main focus is on the shipbuilding industry. There are now more than 60 docks, large and small, of course, the largest one is the Xishan Shipbuilding Bureau, which is used to make the latest steamships... Now, Tianjin Wei has the most refugees influx, and the demand for people here is also the largest, even far exceeding the capital and Tongzhou."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Of course, thanks to Tang Yin. Father, you don't know that there were few officials stationed here in the past. Tianjin has such a bright future, how can we leave it to them to take care of it. But Tang Yin is different. Tang Yin is the commander of the Eastern Unbeaten Fleet and the imperial minister. When he came here, naturally, he had the final say in Tianjin. The coastal defense, government affairs, and shipbuilding here are now all under the control of Tang Yin. Oh, Tang Yin is a good person, and his son minister likes him very much."

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao with contempt and quickly turned his face aside.

This shameless thing, the so-called liking of Tang Yin, is a component of interest. The prince’s wealth is under the Tianjin Wei, and his hope is placed on Tang Yin. How can he not like it?

I am different. My love for Tang Yin is pure, without any interest, and deep. The relationship between teachers and students is like father and son. In the words of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of Han, it is "Nai Gong". In the vernacular: I am your father.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Tang Yin is a good-nature, but sometimes he is a bit pedantic, but... he is indeed a crafty material."

Emperor Hongzhi also praised Tang Yin.

As he was speaking, an eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang has arrived."

Tang Yin's real official position was a Hanlin scholar, who was appointed as the commander of the Dongfang Unbeaten Fleet, responsible for supervising the ships, and recruiting sailors.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Come on, call me."

Tang Yin looked tired and lost weight. He hurriedly climbed the city tower and greeted Emperor Hongzhi: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Then, he looked up and looked at Fang Jifan, with surprise in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi looked stern: "Tang Qing family, I have arrived here. You are a noble man. Not only did you not come to welcome the emperor, but you came late. Why do you want me to order someone to carry you in a sedan chair?"

Tang Yin was ashamed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is anxious. When I received the news, I was in Tanggu and rushed all the way. Unexpectedly, it was still late. I have died and beg your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Hongzhi was just a test.

Seeing Tang Yin Fengchen’s appearance, I thought I must have arrived.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Get up, just now, the prince is praising you, saying that you are a capable minister, the prince, right?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "What the father said is very true."
