To be honest, if this is the case, Fang Jifan felt that Emperor Hongzhi was a little unkind.

Everyone took the risk and made such a great contribution, you said there was no reason to reward him.

Is this what people do?

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi speechlessly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He could understand Fang Jifan's mood.

This guy Wang Shouren is bold, but... he is also a talent for use.

God knows how Fang Jifan trained so many talents.

One is more despicable than the other.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Just now, in front of Xie Qian and his family, you talked about the strategy of advancing westward. I think Jifan has something else to say."

"Yes." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's just in front of them that it's inconvenient to say that only those who are as sensible as His Majesty can understand it."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, these words sounded pretty good.

Fang Jifan said: "In fact, the key point of the strategy to move west is silver! Without silver, it is absolutely impossible. Tens of millions of people are going west and they still need to fight all the way. How much money and food is consumed? Just relying on the court, I am afraid it will never be possible. But... Your Majesty, my son thinks that since the court has no silver, there is silver among the people. So many wealthy businessmen are rich."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized: "The policy of salt and iron?"

Of course, the salt and iron policy here is not just the simplest thing that the imperial court monopolized salt and iron on paper. In fact, salt and iron have long been monopolized by the imperial court.

The source of these four words is that during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to attack the Huns, and the national treasury was huge. Therefore, he carried out centralization, changed the previous inaction technique, and began to attack local tyrants. He took this opportunity to gather wealth from the world to support the expansion of the country.

Of course, the sequelae of this strategy is very great. Although local tyrants are hateful, using such cruel methods can easily cause resentment in the world.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty forgot how he built the railway?"

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, this would be fine.

"Raising funds, package and list the desert ministries, first explain clearly how much financial support is needed, and then release the shares. Of course, since you want to go public, you need to have prospects, profits, what are the prospects and profits? Where is the land, Your Majesty, the shareholders of the world, invest money, feed these Tatars and Jurchens, and provide them with weapons, all their spoils, how to distribute the land they have obtained, how to make a profit, or, how to distribute, the future, the interests of shareholders, the interests of all their trophys, how to distribute, the land they have obtained, how to make a profit, or, how to distribute, the future, the interests of shareholders

, How to guarantee and how to distribute dividends. Erchen calculated that many of the lands that went west were not worthless, and now with steam trains, there is still a long-term future. For example, grasslands can be auctioned, which is profit. Once you enter the west, there are countless minerals there, not only that. I heard that once you cross the Ural Mountains, there are countless fertile fields and fields... that is, food, where the Tatars and Jurchens' Soldiers point, it will always be profitable, so..."

Fang Jifan took a breath: "Therefore, the packaged listing... we can call it the 'group'. The name of the minister has already thought about it. Land is the place where all people can settle down and have a happy business. This group is called the Happiness Group. The Happiness Group pursues that everyone in the world has their own land and can settle down and have a happy business. Under this group, it is divided into three systems. One is the pioneering team composed of the Jurchens and the Tatars. The second is the logistics team organized by the court; the third is the group asset processing team formed by shareholders based on the amount of their shares. All the land, forests, minerals, pastures, grain fields, and even the plundered population are handled by this asset processing team, whether it is sold or mined and excavated by itself. All the interests will be shared by the shareholders."

“…”

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Dumbfounded.

This dog is really cruel.

"Happy Group." Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly. This name was very rare and strange.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "If you can really raise money, is someone willing to buy stocks?"

He felt it was unreliable.

How much money can the land in the desert be worth? There are many minerals, most of which are thousands of miles away, and the transportation costs are very scary.

Moreover, whether we can explore the west in the future, whether we succeed, and whether we will encounter resistance, is still a matter of two things.

Others are willing to buy a large amount of these developed lands.

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Majesty, the biggest benefit of stocks is not how much profit can be made in the future, but that people need to believe in the future... how much profit it can have. People look at tomorrow, ten or even a hundred years later. It is actually very simple to want people to be interested in this package. The court can make a plan, and where is the railway of the Ming Dynasty built in the future!"

"Isn't that profitable enough?"

Damn...

Some people have seen the railway capacity, which greatly shortens the distance. If the railway can extend all the way, then along the railway line, the mines, grasslands, and even grain fields, may be really worth a lot.

But……

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "With such a long railway line, the court has so much money?"

The imperial court could not afford so much money to raise funds, and the railway that ran through the desert and even extended westward, which was thousands of miles... Emperor Hongzhi felt that he could not sell the entire royal family, but he could not sell the money.

"We need to look at the problem from the perspective of development." Fang Jifan said quietly: "It's not really a construction, it's just planning. The planning can be ten years, twenty years, and thirty years. Every now and then, the court will issue an order. Just thunder and not raining. The most important thing is to let people see the prospects and make people believe that in the future, the countless lands may double their value. At that time, plan the stations along the route, and plan medical stations, schools near this site... and even... the court can also set up provinces, prefectures, and counties, and yamen in the areas along the route. It will cost a lot of money, right? The yamen will be built and appoint a few unlucky people. No, appoint some smart and capable officials. Even if this airs are built, we must let the people of the world know that we have everything and invest the money. In the future, we may make a fortune."

"In this way, land and minerals can be sold at a price, land and minerals can be sold, and stocks can rise steadily, so that everyone will be willing to take out real money and support. In the future, when the court really has silver, the steel output is enough to meet the demand. Ten years, thirty years, one hundred years, even if a hundred years is not enough, in three hundred years, it will be no problem for us to build a railway, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Wang Shouren felt his scalp numb.

My mentor... I really worry about Daming.

He had planned everything three hundred years later.

Xiao Jing's face twitched, and he looked at Fang Jifan with a little horror.

"The so-called stock market is selling concepts, a story, a prospect, and even... selling a great ideal. As long as this story is told well, then the prospects and concepts will be available. People are willing to give out real money and silver for it. This is like His Majesty governing the world. In a great rule, it will always be a legend. But... it may be better that kings of all generations can work hard to govern and work in this direction. If you don't even dare to think about it, then... Your Majesty will do his best to do his best?"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I have thought about this stock. I will buy it first. Xishan will raise all the available silver and buy a batch of others, as long as possible."

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath and he thought carefully.

This story by Fang Jifan is indeed very touching.

Railways, provinces, yamen, schools, mines, grain fields, mountains and forests may even have theaters and pastures in the future...

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes opened: "You go and try it first. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement."

He stood up and then looked at Wang Shouren deeply: "You don't have to worry about Wang Qing's family and the Ministry of Justice for the time being. Follow your mentor to take charge of this matter. In the future, I will be of great use to you."

It means that in the idea proposed by Fang Jifan, Wang Shouren may become the most important person.

This is also a disguised form, so give rewards.

Fang Jifan bowed: "My son obeys the order."

Zhu Houzhao was beside him, listening with relish. At this moment, his heart became warm.

He liked Fang Jifan's plan. At least, this story touched him, and he loved this story.

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "This story of Duke of Qi..."

He was just halfway through his words.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing sideways and suddenly said, "Parent Xiao, suddenly, and others conspired, why did the factory guards not realize anything in advance?"

Xiao Jing's face suddenly turned pale.

He had only thought before that he seemed to have missed a credit.

My heart hurts a lot.

But now... he suddenly remembered.

So he hurriedly fell to the ground and said in panic: "This...this..."

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and said, "How dare I hand over my safety to the factory guards in the future? How can I trust them?"

Xiao Jing shivered all over: "I..."

He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation was pale and powerless, so he had to say, "The crime of death of a servant."
