Chapter 63: Hello, Nephew Fang
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt like she was kicked away, and then Fang Jifan had no hesitation and colluded with his father, colluding with him, probably ten thousand grass and mud horses were running by.
Fang Jifan's flattery was so stingy in Emperor Hongzhi's ears.
Emperor Hongzhi was speechless. After a long time, he raised his face: "Come on, please be good at it in front of me. Only by doing things properly can he benefit the world! And..." At this time, Emperor Hongzhi showed a playful look on his face. He taught Fang Jifan a lesson and said: "In the future, you must be careful in your words and actions. Qian Yue, the governor of Guizhou, is an important minister of the court. You slander him so much in this way in your speech today. If it is passed to him, will he rest? If there is any problem in the future, you can report to me privately, so as not to offend others."
This sentence is called reprimand, but it is more like a teaching to the younger generation.
He kept saying that Qian Yue was in charge of Guizhou, which would lead to a rebellion of chieftains, and he also said that he would definitely not be able to suppress the rebellion. Isn’t this clearly telling people that Qian Yue was not good at doing things and was not enough to take on heavy responsibilities?
People are loyal to the court in Guizhou. You, Fang Jifan, a general bannerman, attacked him with a black gun behind his back. Do he have no friends in the capital? Besides, he is a famous capable minister in the world, so even I admire him. Are you, Fang Jifan, not afraid of being sprayed to death with spitting stars?
When Emperor Hongzhi mentioned it again, Fang Jifan couldn't help but be angry when he thought of Guizhou. What he said was clearly true, but it did happen in history, but no one believed it.
Although Fang Jifan was a notorious scumbag in the eyes of the world, in fact, Fang Jifan was still enthusiastic. He knew very clearly that in the event of a rebellion, countless people would suffer, so he insisted on his own opinion.
At this time, Fang Jifan couldn't help but say, "But Your Majesty, I do think that Qian Yue is too angry after all. If he was in Shandong and Henan, it would be fine... But if he was in Guizhou, his educational methods would be useless. I think the court should..."
Before Fang Jifan could continue to say this, Emperor Hongzhi glared at him. He felt that Fang Jifan had made a little too much trouble. Fang Jifan did make great contributions this time, but he could not be proud. Emperor Hongzhi was trustworthy by Qian Yue, not to mention that the court had just quelled the rebellion and intimidated the chieftains of the southwest. Who else would be so unhappy and dared to rebel? With Emperor Hongzhi's years of experience in governing, it was impossible to think about it.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at him and said, "If you do the coal mining well, it will be a great achievement."
The most depressing thing about Fang Jifan was that no matter how correct he was, he would never be trusted by others in the end because of his identity.
Of course, the root of this matter is that both Emperor Hongzhi and those cabinet ministers have their own inherent "ruling experience", and they believe in their own judgment more.
So, even if Fang Jifan shouted out loud, they would not listen.
Well, there is a saying that only after suffering losses will you be willing to learn from your mistakes.
Fang Jifan said goodbye in disappointment, and Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she vomited blood and followed her to chase her out.
Looking at the depressed Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan comforted him and said, "Your Highness, be good, although you have no shares, but your Highness is the spokesperson of our coal industry after all. I will make the decision and give you a salary."
Zhu Houzhao was still angry and said angrily: "The father always treats me as a child, and I am so angry!"
Fang Jifan just laughed, but Zhu Houzhao said in anger again: "Even if you are uncontrollable, your father can trust you. No matter how you are, you are better than you, right?"
Fang Jifan's face suddenly turned red. Is this considered a personal attack?
Fang Jifan said: "No, I am a down-to-earth person."
So the two of them said one by one, and I said one by one, and they left the palace all the way.
Millions of kilograms of coal are produced every day. With the pitiful productivity of this era, this means that at least thousands of manpower is required. In addition, a large number of production tools are required to be purchased. Distribution can be handed over to Wang Jinyuan, and in the future, the palace and military will also purchase in large quantities.
Fang Jifan roughly converted the cost, and the cost of production and transportation was not high, and the labor cost in this era was pitifully low, so it was generally a very profitable month, which is astronomical. Moreover, Xishan has now become an endless treasure. As for the cost of buying land, Fang Jifan took out nearly 200,000 taels of silver in land. Of course, he had to use the Fang family's shop in Dongshi as a base for coal industry distribution.
It took almost less than a year, and Fang Jifan was confident that he could make a profit.
Even if the existing output is maintained, you can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the Fang family every year. If the market is opened up in the future, the anthracite can produce more uses, or transport it to cities along the canal through the canal, or even send it to Nantongzhou through the canal, and arrive in Nanzhili and other places. Then even if the output continues to double, it will be no problem.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and anthracite are used to replace "firewood". Any industry that monopolizes the daily necessities of people's living resources is not a huge profit.
Of course, the most important one is Zhenguo Coal Industry. It was a big shot in the palace. In this era, it would be unrealistic if the government did not get a share of the pie. In the original expectation of Fang Jifan, he was working with the Zhan Shi Mansion and had the golden signboard of the prince. Zhenguo Coal Industry actually didn't have to worry about other issues.
But now, the palace has replaced the Zhan Shi Mansion and occupied half of the original shares. This... is a good thing. The emperor's sign is brighter than the crown prince's sign!
Zhu Houzhao was different. He was busy for nothing and seemed very frustrated. The two were about to leave Chongwen Sect, but Zhu Houzhao was angrily going back to Zhan Shi Mansion. Fang Jifan saw that it was getting late, so he was ready to go home.
But before he walked very far from Chongwenmen, a enthusiastic voice came from behind him: "Hello, Nephew Fang."
This voice was so enthusiastic that even Fang Jifan's bones were about to be slim.
When I looked back, I saw the Zhang brothers, Hou Shouning and Jianchang Bo, catching up with me like spring breeze.
Fang Jifan smiled at them.
They also laughed at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan laughed at these two big fools.
They also laughed at Fang Jifan, the world's number one sucker.
Zhang Yanling stepped forward intimately, stroked Fang Jifan's shoulder enthusiastically, and then looked distressed: "My nephew is thin, should I go to the mansion to drink some water and replenish my body?"
Seeing that he was so 'caring', Fang Jifan shook his head like a rattle: "I am grateful for it, I love eating bird's nest."
Zhang Yanling immediately pulled her face down and forced a smile again: "Birdbird's nest...Bird's nest is not delicious, it's good to drink white water, it's healthy!"
Zhang Heling was afraid that this boy would continue to get involved in the bird's nest, so he hurriedly said, "What a coincidence, our brothers have just returned from the Queen. The Queen talked about you specifically and praised you hard. Our brothers also said that Nephew Fang is such a great person. No one among the younger generations can compare with Nephew Fang."
Fang Jifan also smiled and said, "Where, where, I'm so kind."
"Oh, I heard you are selling coal recently?" Zhang Heling said with a smile.
He was well-informed and he soon knew what happened in Chongwen Hall.
However, judging from his bright smile, Fang Jifan was absolutely sure that the brothers had not yet discovered that the wasteland of Xishan was brewing huge business opportunities.
Fang Jifan nodded honestly: "Yes, do some small business and make a living!"
The Zhang brothers laughed again, and I really want to say, Nephew Fang, your IQ is not suitable for business. We brothers are all worried about you. If you have the money to pay, it is better to give it to our brothers.
Of course, Zhang Heling felt that he still had some conscience. After all, he made a huge advantage from Fang Jifan, so he said, "Then I wish you a prosperous business."
The two brothers then exchanged a wink, their eyes facing each other, and there was ridicule in the depths of their eyes.
Fang Jifan said oh, and was about to leave.
But at this moment, a sudden carriage came, and a person walked out of the carriage. This person was dressed in a gorgeous dress, but he looked like he was just a merchant.
…………
The first leader of this book, the classmate of "The Poker Thieves Deadly" was born! Congratulations, congratulations! This classmate is considered a familiar face, haha...
In addition, I would like to thank the classmate "Zi Feiyu". The classmate "Zi Feiyu" spent several hours building more than 9,000 buildings in the book review area. It scared the tiger to death and didn't dare to write books. It took more than 30 minutes to count the first floor and the eyes were blurred. It can be imagined how much effort it took to spend more than 9,000 book reviews.
I am ashamed, ashamed, and grateful at the same time.
At the same time, thanks to all readers who rewarded and voted for support, Lalala... happy.
Chapter completed!
