Emperor Hongzhi was about to get crazy and walked back and forth in the hall.

This is all agreed.

I originally thought that I could let Fang Jifan do his business with confidence.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan actually wanted to send out three thousand Confucian scholars at once. It is reported that he still doesn't have any money.

Of course, money is the second priority.

But he actually gave away three thousand Confucian scholars for free!

Three thousand Confucian scholars...

Emperor Hongzhi became uneasy for a moment.

This Fang Jifan is not a brain-breaker, right?

Waiting around, but Fang Jifan came.

This made Emperor Hongzhi feel even more anxious.

Finally, he saw Fang Jifan coming in a daze. Emperor Hongzhi was full of resentment, but now all of them were dispersed.

There was a complaint in my heart, but it was obvious that Fang Jifan was so panting. Thinking of this guy being wholehearted towards him, now that he was so concerned about his summons, he was so concerned about him. Eight out of ten people came all the way into the palace. Emperor Hongzhi felt guilty in his heart. Are he too harsh?

Xiao Jing stood aside with a expressionless face. As a eunuch, Xiao Jing knew the best in his heart.

Fang Jifan was not breathless and hurriedly saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

"Son-in-law..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I heard that Jifan has negotiated with the Ottoman prince?"

"Report to the emperor, you have already negotiated." Fang Jifan took a breath and replied with a serious expression: "My son and I have a great conversation with him. This Ottoman prince has a very unique skeleton and is extraordinary."

Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened and he stared at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

"Extraordinary? Jifan agreed to send him three thousand Confucian scholars?"

"If he still doesn't think it's enough, Erchen thinks, he doesn't mind sending him more."

This is a special product of the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know how many products are made every year, and how many they need to be. That’s how Fang Jifan thought.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down: "It is said that the Ottoman prince promised gold and silver, but Jifan refused to accept it."

"Your Majesty, this is not a business, people are priceless." Fang Jifan wailed.

Emperor Hongzhi widened his eyes, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he still shook his face. After all, there was no outsider here: "That was not what you said at the beginning."

"Your Majesty." Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I also negotiated with Prince Suleiman about trading on the road. I had decided to build a caravan to go to Ottoman, and even at the Mediterranean port of Ottoman, to bring goods to Venice and to North Africa and even Italy."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "That's all?"

"This caravan, Your Majesty takes the big head, and your son takes the small head. From now on, let's make it go public together."

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly, and he became a little interested: "You continue talking."

"After going public, we will send a caravan and we will definitely get a considerable profit. The stock price may only be slightly increased in the early stage and make a big profit, but I guess that after a while, there will be a possibility of a surge."

"The possibility of a surge?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel excited: "Tell me."

"Your Majesty, think about it, let's send great scholars. If these Confucian scholars have gained a foothold in the Ottomans, and His Highness Suleiman will inherit the foundation of the Ottoman ancestors in the future, will they become favorites?"

"Once they become favorite ministers, or if someone becomes a rank of officials, wouldn't they have a lot of money?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "How do you know they will have a lot of money?"

"This..." Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "In the Ming Dynasty, they did the same."

"Is that?" Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious: "You keep talking."

"The so-called cunning rabbits are three holes. After all, they are officials outside, and they are not at ease. They must find ways to transport the silver to their hometowns. So, what are they going to do? Of course, it is a caravan that uses the caravan to turn these gold and silver into legal treasure banknotes. In this way, the caravan will make huge profits. At that time, the profits of the caravan will surge. Your Majesty, what will the stock price of it?"

"To the Ottoman, Your Majesty showed generosity, Your Majesty did not take any money, and trade also deepened the exchanges between the two countries. And those Confucian scholars were not bad, Your Majesty gave them a place to use their skills. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds."

Emperor Hongzhi's head began to rotate rapidly.

Well... I first gave it to others, and then the caravans and caravans went public. Then people got silver. The silver began to become legal treasure money in the caravans. The treasure money was then converted into profits in the form of profits. Profits drove the stock price to rise, and eventually... the palace with a large amount of capital was obtained.

There are at least seven or eight circles here.

Of course... the only problem is... any problem here may be in vain.

It can really be as Fang Jifan said, is there no problem in every place?

This is what Emperor Hongzhi suspected.

He looked at Fang Jifan: "Can these Confucian scholars make a difference in the Ottomans?"

His tone was inconfident.

Fang Jifan nodded heavily to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, all these Confucian scholars are talented. To be honest, if you want to send them away, your sons are still reluctant to let them go. If such talents go to Ottoman, they will be invisible to God. Besides, Prince Suleiman is a talented and stubborn person. He wants to get rid of the halo of his ancestors, become a heroic ruler of a generation, and do things that are difficult to do. If these Confucian scholars give him, they will definitely be like a tiger."

Emperor Hongzhi heard that he felt it was unreliable, and he couldn't help but frown again.

"Why do you say this, the Ottoman Kingdom will become a major concern for our Ming Dynasty?"

"..." Fang Jifan was stunned and then said, "Actually... it's not that powerful. Erchen is a little exaggerated, but... Erchen can guarantee that they can be reused in the Ottomans, and even sooner replace the Ottomans' old nobles."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman were far apart, and for the time being, they had common enemies. Emperor Hongzhi continued: "You can guarantee that these people will...well...get a lot of gold and silver, and then send them back through the caravan."

"Of course, as the saying goes, people have no long-term plans, and there must be immediate worries. These Confucian scholars have always considered it very long-term. After all, it is not their hometown. Their vast tribesmen are still in our Ming Dynasty. Besides, even if they gain power, there will inevitably be recurrence in the future. They are bound to send gold and silver quietly. If they may have intersections with the Ming Dynasty, who else is besides the caravan? Your Majesty, don't worry, my son is 90% sure."

Even after Fang Jifan explained repeatedly, Emperor Hongzhi still felt that it was unreliable.

Can……

Why……

He sighed: "Ninety percent sure, it seems that you are very confident in this."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, my son is dead, and the crown prince has made a bet with me, saying that I want to bet on the Zhenguo Mansion. Of course, although my son agreed, he also knew that the crown prince was joking and could not be true."

When he heard that Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, he even used Zhenguo Mansion as a bet. Emperor Hongzhi's body was shocked.

In this way, Fang Jifan's bet was quite large.

So……

This Fang Jifan...is not only 90% sure.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "A gentleman's words are as good as he can. Since the prince has made an agreement, how can he not make any mistakes? I have been grateful. If he loses, I am willing to accept the loss."

"Since you already have the charter in your heart, then you should do it according to your charter. The only thing that bothers me is how to send out the three thousand Confucian scholars?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but become suspicious: "What else do you have?"

…………

The Hanlin Academy suddenly posted a list.

Confucian scholars should be invited to the Hanlin Academy to teach the meaning of the scriptures. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor may also come.

This sudden news shocked Shilin.

Your Majesty is now increasingly leaning towards the Academy of Sciences and does not take traditional Confucian scholars seriously at all.

The Confucian scholars were completely useless in the Ming Dynasty. They were idle every day, just like those who were idle, and they would spend one day catching a bell.

In the eyes of countless Confucian scholars, this is like the sky falling, the rituals and music falling.

Therefore, some people begin to miss the past and some begin to express feelings that the present is worse than the past.

But now, Your Majesty's move suddenly made countless Confucian scholars see the dawn.

Your Majesty has been deceived by treacherous ministers over the years. Now he actually invites Confucian scholars to the Hanlin Academy to listen to Confucian scholars preaching the scriptures. This is an excellent opportunity.

The great scholar Chen Jingye is now crowded with people.

He was the most outstanding scholar in Northern Zhili, with his disciples and former officials all over the world.

Although he is just a juren, his articles and his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics have made countless people admire him.

Now his sects are coming, hoping that their mentors can take them to Hanlin Academy with them. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they don’t go, it would be a pity.

If Your Majesty happened to value his mentor, it would be better.

"Sir, there are rumors in the entire Jiangbei Shilin area. Some Confucian scholars from Shandong and Shanxi have begun to set off. If you don't go, wouldn't it be a pearl covered with dust? What's more, the emperor today believes in the Academy of Sciences. If you go there, there will be no benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and righteousness in this world. Please take the people as your thoughts and go to the Hanlin Academy. We are proud of our disciples."

Chen Jingye looked at these disciples with a smile.

The news...he had heard about it for a long time.

It is fake to say that he doesn't want to go, but he is not an ordinary Confucian scholar. He cannot easily agree to such things. Otherwise, he would have reduced his value too much.

He shook his head: "I don't want to care about worldly affairs anymore. What's wrong with me when I read the scriptures and history in peace?"
