The Empress Dowager also stood up.

The woman was born with no interest in this thing.

But because of Wanfuyi.

The Empress Dowager actually wanted to know how different this thing was.

She walked to the microscope, glanced at the lens, and couldn't help but be surprised.

In this way, countless craftsmen worked hard, not only skilled craftsmen, but countless top minds of the Ming Dynasty gathered together. It took countless hours to create one of them, and finally, they created the Fu Clothing.

Such clothes are priceless, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless.

Emperor Hongzhi became much more interested, so he looked left and right around the microscope.

After the Empress Dowager saw it, a friendly smile appeared on her face, and then she set her tone: "This Yi Ai family loves the most, and the prince and the Duke of Qi are both interested."

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Empress, where is this? I have only done my best. The prince has repeatedly told me that no one in this world can care about it, but the Empress is also his closest elder. The Empress was very kind to the Prince. He was a great-grandson and must find every way to give the Empress a generous gift."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was even more happy and looked at Zhu Houzhao happily, with the kindness in his eyes getting stronger.

Today, the Empress Dowager was particularly happy. He pulled Zhu Houzhao and said something better. Then he took someone to listen to the opera. The play list was already ready, but the Empress Dowager changed it temporarily: "Today, he sang "Catch Cao".

When Zhu Houzhao heard it was "Catching Cao", she was immediately excited.

After one day, Fang Jifan was exhausted and retreated from Renshou Palace, but Emperor Hongzhi called him alone to Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the memorials accumulated on the desk, and today he was just paying attention to his birthday, but the matter was delayed a lot, and now the memorials are piled up like mountains.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi was a little old and had limited energy, but he still cheered up. He picked up a memorial and read it for a while, then looked up at Fang Jifan, who had been waiting patiently, and said, "Jifan, how many more can this microscope be created?"

Fang Jifan said: "The polishing of lenses is the most time-consuming. There are no more than five craftsmen who can polish lenses in the world. Even if they bring their apprentices, their manpower will increase in the future. It is good to have three or five kung fu per month."

"This is a treasure." Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Even if I don't know how effective this microscope is, I also know that the Ming Dynasty will not be separated from it in the future. And those craftsmen are all treasures of my Ming Dynasty. I must treat them well. I will order people to give me some rewards at that time."

Fang Jifan blinked happily and saluted: "Your Majesty, if they knew that even Your Majesty respected them so much, I don't know how happy it would be."

This is the truth.

The status of craftsmen, even today, has been improved by only a limited amount.

People are born to be a person who wears gorgeous clothes and bright clothes, or everyone wants to be a person who speaks full of words, and opening a word is a great truth.

As for craftsmen, they deal with oil and dirty every day, and they are dirty all over and rough in their hands and feet, so they are naturally not valued by others.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "This microscope can also show that the various research institutes in Xishan are of great effect. I have seen the steam locomotives connected to the city with my own eyes. Now I still feel like I am dreaming when I listen to the steam locomotive whistle."

Emperor Hongzhi continued with a smile: "It is not convenient to explain in detail in front of the Empress Dowager just now, but now..." He looked up and took a memorial: "This is a memorial about Zhenla. The kingdom of Zhenla has been very close to Franji people recently. Do you know these things?"

The so-called Zhen La is approaching the Jiaozhi Governor's Office. Because the territory is full of mountains, at first, after learning that the Ming Dynasty went deep into Jiaozhi and even set up the Jiaozhi Governor's Office, its country immediately expressed its obedience to the Ming Dynasty. However, it was obvious that in the past two years, there have been signs of wavering again.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a more cautious expression and said, "Jifan, what do you think about this?"

Fang Jifan frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying, "This is actually natural. Thinking about the time when the Ming Dynasty went to the West, the Western countries were convinced. They were invaded by the Franji people. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had the Ming Dynasty and they were unable to fight against the Franji people with the help of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Yes, keep talking."

Fang Jifan said: "But over the years, the Franchise people have been under pressure from the Ming Dynasty, and their expansion in the West has begun to slow down. The Franchise people have to curl up in Luzon, Java and other places to protect themselves, and they are no longer able to continue to expand. This will inevitably make the Western countries come back. They made the Franchise with the Ming Dynasty, but once they found that one was rising and falling, the Ming Dynasty began to gradually gain an advantage in the West. Naturally, they began to guard against the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty. The Western countries were only considering themselves, and they can be said to be both ends of snakes and rats. Once the strength of the Ming Dynasty and Franchise was unbalanced, they naturally began to want to use the weaker one to maintain their independence."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "I treat all countries with courtesy, but they have their own selfish intentions."

Fang Jifan heard Emperor Hongzhi's sigh, and couldn't help but complain that there were a few people in this world who had no selfishness. He said, "It is impossible to rely on rituals like this kind of foreign vassal alone. My son always believed that people's hearts were still separated from their belly, let alone, is it a country? Just say that Zhenla was close to the Jiaozhi Governor's Office, and the territory was full of mountains. I think, but I was afraid that it was too much influenced by the Ming Dynasty. In the end, like the Annan Kingdom in the past, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. They wanted to use the Franji people to offset the influence of the Ming Dynasty on them. I think that with this mind, it is not only Zhenla Kingdom, but Siam, Yaqi, Johor, Niguo, Laoguo, Shanguo, etc., isn't it the same? It's just that they dare not be so obvious. Their greatest interest is that the Ming and Franji can match, and they can take advantage of the Ming Dynasty and Franji to protect their fundamental interests."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "Jifan's statement is reasonable. In fact, I have also asked the Liu Qing family and Li Qing family about this. They also think this way. Because of this, I am worried that there are many mountains in the Zhenla Kingdom and the miasma is heavy. Although our Ming Dynasty destroyed Annan and added the Jiaozhi Administration Commission, the people in Jiaozhi have not been attached to it. It will take some time to let them bathe in the kingly world."

Emperor Hongzhi paused and said, "This Jiaozhi has always been acquainted with Chinese characters, Chinese, and has imitated our Ming Dynasty everywhere. It is no different from our Ming Dynasty. It is necessary to slowly digest the establishment of a government commission in this place. If we use military forces to Zhenla and other countries, it will not only make Western countries more suspicious, but it will also be a great loss for our Ming Dynasty. It is easy to destroy its country, but it is difficult to conquer it. I do not want to use war, but I am quite interested in your conception of the Ming Dynasty treasure bank. Can the Western countries be united with the money house and the Ming Dynasty treasure bank?"

Fang Jifan shook his head straightforwardly and said, "No."

Is it so direct?

However, judging from Fang Jifan's appearance, there seems to be some more details.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little disappointed, but he was patient and prepared to listen to Fang Jifan's next words.

Then he saw Fang Jifan and continued, "But... Why should your Majesty care whether they are united in the Ming Dynasty? As long as they use the coins printed by the Ming Dynasty, everything is controlled by our Ming Dynasty. Then, even if they are alienated from our Ming Dynasty, it is meaningless. Therefore, instead of conquering their people's hearts, it might as well conquer all the firewood, rice, oil, salt around them, and make them food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all the closely related matters are inseparable from our Ming Dynasty. In this way, the West can completely become the most obedient vassal state in our Ming Dynasty."

Fang Jifan did not describe it as a vassal state, but he used it as a vassal state.

Vaticans and vassal states are completely different concepts.

Emperor Hongzhi heard the indirect voice.

He cheered up: "Yes, what Jifan said makes a lot of sense. What I want is not their hearts, I just want their people."

He then said, "It seems that you already have the strategy to implement the Daming Baochao in your heart."

Fang Jifan nodded: "There are two strategies at present. One is to slowly plan it. Anyway, there is no hurry. It takes decades to slowly let them accept the treasure money. As long as the credit of the Daming Baochao has always been good, one day, they will accept it slowly sooner or later."

Decades of time...

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "What else is there?"

Fang Jifan said: "There is another way, which involves moral issues. Your Majesty should know that the son minister is a moral person..."

"Speak!" Now the matter is important, Emperor Hongzhi is too lazy to talk to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Destroy their original monetary system, and then, the Ming Dynasty Baochao took advantage of the situation and completely replaced it within three years."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood what it meant: "Just like a tulip?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "We have to use another method."

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously more interested in the latter.

Although I have read many books of saints, but the emperor has a kind side, few of them are childish. Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "Who can go? Liu Wenshan? Liu Jin?"

"These two people... are talented people who can help you. My sons think they can be competent." Fang Jifan said.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and glanced at the secret report on the table about the secret peace between Zhenla Kingdom and the Franji people, and his face was solemn: "He is unkind, I am unrighteous, I treat him with kindness, but he repays me with tricks. It is tolerant, but who is intolerable. The treasure money of the Ming Dynasty must be promoted immediately, and my patience is limited. If Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin succeed, I will still be willing to reward..."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan deeply: "Jifan... should also consider the future of the Fang family. It's time to have a fief."

manor……

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise.

Listening to this, how come it seems like I am going to be cooked by a lackey?
