Chapter 1324: Frontier(1/2)
Emperor Hongzhi was straight to the point.
All are here.
Just talk about it.
If you have anything to be dissatisfied with, it’s okay to just say it.
I am determined to win the northern province.
Others can be discussed.
The most important thing is that Emperor Hongzhi was unsure of his heart, and he was afraid that the prince would cause something.
After hearing this, Ziller said something.
Na Tong said seriously: "The Northern Province has always been ruled by Spain. The Spanish king has imposed heavy taxes, and we have suffered a lot. This time, the visiting delegation came here to pay homage to the emperor and... to the Duke of Qi... no, it should be translated as a good man Fang Dasheng, thanking His Majesty and Duke of Qi for their relief to the Northern Province in times of crisis."
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
Fang Jifan stood among the crowd, his waist straightened.
Many civil and military officials looked at Fang Jifan speechlessly.
To be honest... Is this Franchise man... not good at using his brain?
Fang Jifan's slander is also at the cost of his life?
Before, everyone was probably curious about these northern provinces. After all, these are Gentiles thousands of miles away, and their eyes and noses are actually different from those of the Han people.
But now...
More people look sympathetic.
These barbarians are really pitiful.
Then, the general translation began to translate the following words of Ziller: "This time I came to the Ming Dynasty and saw the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was really eye-opening. This time, they visited with friendly visits at the invitation of the Governor. This trip gave them great confidence. After they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they had never been able to pay homage to Fang Dalien... Well, that is, Duke Qi, so far, have not expressed their gratitude, which makes them feel regretful. I have long heard that Fang Dalien is kind and generous, and is based on integrity. I have the talent of heaven and earth. I don't know that Fang Dalien can be here."
This time, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan stood up modestly.
cough.
It seems a little embarrassed.
Only then did Ziller and others notice Fang Jifan and actually felt particularly friendly.
In the northern province, they have seen the portraits of Fang Dashan people. Isn’t it similar to the young people in front of them?
I never expected that when I saw a real person today, I would still be alive and would move.
The leaders of Ziller and others all had red eyes.
Many people come from all the way to meet living people.
They saluted Fang Jifan one after another.
Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "After the vassal and his softness, he was deeply loved by the northern provinces."
Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "My son is ashamed, this... this must be Wang Xizhu... Wang Xizhu spread rumors..."
All officials were all in awe, looking at their noses, and looking at their noses, without showing any voice.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I don't mean to blame me. This is a good thing. Jifan doesn't have to blame himself."
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and thought to himself, Wang Xizuo is in the northern province, it seems that it is well managed, otherwise... these Franchise men would not believe Wang Xizuo's words.
As I said, this is indeed a good thing. For the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Province was just a springboard and could bribe their people's hearts. No matter what method it was, it was not a bad thing.
After all, Fang Jifan was his son-in-law. It is better to make them grateful to Fang Jifan's kindness than to be grateful to Wang Xizuo.
Don’t the fat water flow to outsiders’ fields?
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the translator: "Tell them that if they want them to live in the capital for more days, the Ming Dynasty will treat each other with courtesy. Then ask what difficulties will they have when they live here for a long time."
After listening to the translation, I passed on the words.
When Ziller and others heard about asking if they had any difficulties, the Francophones seemed to be about to explode, and some people's faces turned red with excitement.
This made Emperor Hongzhi and the civil and military officials feel a little sad.
Why... Sure enough, did they encounter something in Beijing? I was beaten by the prince, or...
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glar at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao looked indifferent.
This made Emperor Hongzhi very angry. Since this guy grew up and Emperor Hongzhi felt it was inconvenient to slap him, he became more and more lawless.
But... but it was inconvenient to get angry on this occasion, Emperor Hongzhi still smiled: "What did they say?"
"This..." Tongzhi looked weird.
Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Say!"
The general translation said timidly: "The people of Franji said that they had a very dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty. They wanted... to..."
Emperor Hongzhi kept silent: "Hmm?"
"They..." General Translator took a deep breath and said, "They said that since Xishan Jianye wanted to build the Franchise Garden. This Franchise Garden originally used the characteristics of Franchise, but... this Franchise Garden is just a mere appearance. Most of the shops and mansions were sold to the people of the Ming Dynasty..."
Emperor Hongzhi looked confused.
All the officials were dumbfounded.
What is Franchise Garden?
The general translator continued: "So, they strongly demand that Your Majesty cannot favor one or the other. This Franchise Garden, the preferential interest rate and indicators for the loan, should be left to them. Otherwise, will this Franchise Garden still be called Franchise Garden?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao immediately said, "Father, my son said nothing, and the house was sold out, so they insisted on buying it."
All of a sudden, everyone understood.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and said laughing and crying: "Where is this Franchise Garden?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "Near the Yuquan Guard Station."
“…”
Yuquanwei.
Even Fang Jifan couldn't help looking at Zhu Houzhao, looking speechless.
Yuquanwei... It's all about to arrive in Zhuozhou County.
That place, within a radius of ten miles, is a barren land.
Emperor Hongzhi looked suspiciously at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing bent down and whispered something.
Emperor Hongzhi only realized that the Yuquanwei's residence was located, and his face suddenly fell.
After all, he is a distinguished guest.
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Flangji Garden? I think this place is not good. If you really want it, I can order people to open up a land near Shuntian Prefecture."
A translation and retelling.
The location of Shuntian Prefecture is actually a suburb of the capital, and it is also based on Shuntian Prefecture. The future prospects are limitless.
Nothing will be lost.
After hearing this, Ziller and others all turned red.
It was a joke again.
The general translation had a bitter face: "Your Majesty, they said... The Franchise Garden is Paris and Vienna in the future. This place has great prospects in the future and is a rare treasure land. Now... the purchase indicators of Franchise have been sold out. They also want to buy some mansions. As for other places, they are not interested. They also said that there will be academies nearby, opera houses, and in the future... they may also build railways..."
Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to communicate with these Franchise men anymore.
Chicken talks with ducks.
He said to Zhu Houzhao: "Crown Prince...you come and arrange it."
Zhu Houzhao said with a embarrassed look: "This... the son of the minister... is in business, this... the land near Yuquanwei is rare..."
"There are ten miles in a radius, and it's all deserted. How can I do it for me?"
Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to contradict him anymore and said obediently: "My son obeys the order."
When Ziller and others heard that the emperor personally supported them, they suddenly smiled happily.
It's like the New Year.
Emperor Hongzhi ordered the Ministry of Rites to place these Franchise men.
Then, he was shocked and looked at the civil and military officials: "This time... the prince and Jifan won them over. Since they won their people's hearts, then the northern province should be operated immediately while the Spanish had not recovered. The imperial court should prepare a return mission. The larger the scale, the better. It is necessary to have merchants and a large number of attendants. It is time for me to get off the Fran aircraft at Daming. It's a pity that we can't send steamships now. It's better not to expose the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Jifan and run the northern province, I want to listen to your suggestions."
"Your Majesty wants to get out of Franji?" Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
To be continued...
