Chapter 1664: One Emperor Through the Ages
If another emperor is scolded as a dog emperor, he must be furious.
But when Zhu Houzhao heard his uncle cursing, she actually crossed her hands and was so happy that she looked like she was waiting for Zhang Heling to scold him.
Then, he immediately shouted, "It's a rebellion. I was kind enough to bring you wealth, but you actually called me a dog. It seems that you want to rebel, it's really outrageous. Lao Fang, what should I do if I rebel?"
Fang Jifan put his hands together and made a move to cut watermelon: "Exorcist the three clans, except for the Empress Dowager."
Do you think you can scare this Shouning Marquis all at once?
Of course it is impossible!
Zhang Heling was still cursing. He stubbornly held his neck and raised his chin: "I don't want money, I want to kill you, come on, I have the ability to kill you all. Even if I die here today, I will be broken into pieces, and thousands of arrows pierce the heart, and I will chop it up and feed the dog, and I will never frown. If you want money, I will give you a hundred taels. If you want it, don't you have a penny!"
Zhang Yanling was so scared that she cried loudly, and kept knocking the ground with her head.
Zhu Houzhao was very happy: "It seems that not only will the head beheaded, but the house is also raided. Lao Fang issued an order to order the Jinyiwei to take action."
Collect... house search...
These two words obviously have different meanings.
Zhang Heling's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly changed his words: "I invest, I invest! Your Majesty, how much do I invest in? Your Majesty will say how much do I invest? "
"Ten million! One article is missing, and you've been skinned."
Zhang Heling felt very confused at this time, and his smart mind now had nowhere to get out of it.
He was thinking about it, and he would calm down his Majesty first and then go back and complain to Empress Dowager Zhang.
Zhu Houzhao stretched out a finger.
"Oh my god!" Zhang Yanling shouted, almost fainted, and said weakly: "One million taels are so much?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I'm wrong, ten million taels!"
When Zhang Yanling, who was almost unconscious, heard 10 million, suddenly woke up again and shouted again: "Oh my God, 10 million taels..." His voice broke.
Zhang Heling already felt that his heart was so painful.
Zhu Houzhao, however, held his hands behind his back and said confidently: "I have thought about it. If I want to do it, I will do a big thing. The railway is responsible for national economy and people's livelihood. It is of great importance. If it is not repaired, I will not be able to sleep or eat all day long. Therefore, not only must I repair it, but also have to start construction in various places at the same time. The Zhang family has paid 10 million taels, and Xishan has also paid 10 million taels. In addition, I have to find a way to move some from the treasury. Five million taels are needed. There are also Wang Bushi and other wealthy businessmen who can get the best, but they cannot take it. I will not care about it. There are also various government and marquis's mansions. If this is calculated, it should be no problem to raise 30 to 50 million taels.
With this amount, the funds in the early stage can be satisfied. Then I will issue some railway bonds and raise tens of millions of taels. In this way, all provinces in the world will build the railway. You are my relatives, that is, royal relatives. If you don’t take the silver, who will take it? This is your shareholding. If the railway has profits in the future, it will definitely benefit you. In addition... Lao Fang has already found ways to plan for railway profits, such as converting the land at various stations into civil and commercial use, and... how to enhance freight, in short, I will never lose money. If you lose, you will find Lao Fang."
Fang Jifan immediately said, "Don't worry, this matter is my favorite student, Chang Wei of the Academy of Engineering personally presided over it. This person stood out in the Academy of Engineering. He had experienced it when he built a new city. From then on, he was the leader of the Baoding railway. With him, there will be no problems. If something happens, you go and look for him. If you lose money and have a budget, you will also look for him. If you break his legs, I will never frown."
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling immediately started crying again, and always felt that there was something important in their lives suddenly missing.
Zhang Heling was already crying and his throat: "Your Majesty, where is this my root, what is the root."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Stop crying, stop crying, this is a business, why did you get here? It's like I'm robbing your money. If I cry again, I will really rob it!"
This is obviously extremely powerful.
The crying in the hall stopped suddenly.
Zhu Houzhao felt that it was no longer noisy, so she sighed, looked at Fang Jifan and said, "Lao Fang, what do you say from the medical school?"
Fang Jifan understood and said, "The female doctors said that the Empress Dowager was depressed because she missed the emperor. She should take good care of the harem. These days, the female hospital was serving the Empress Dowager. From today to the next few months, there will be no one outside the palace, and the Empress Dowager will see him."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the Zhang brothers with a smile: "That's right, I'm also worried that the Queen Mother will issue an order. No one will be allowed to enter the harem without permission. If you dare to go, you will just search your house."
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling: “…”
then……
The Zhang family has paid for money.
This news spread like wildfire.
People began to be amazed.
Most of the officials in the capital left, and the vacancies were quickly filled by newly promoted officials.
After all, Ouyang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, has been in office for many years and has long known the abilities of the vacancies and the abilities of the Beijing officials. Some have filled the vacancies, and the capital has also calmed down, and some have even been grateful because...
If it weren't for the Emperor's intention to go to the Golden State, and if His Royal Highness ascended the throne, how could he have his turn?
It can be seen... To a certain extent, the emperor and the literati may not have deep hatred, but the peers are naked hatred.
When His Majesty first ascended the Great Treasure, everyone was guessing what the first thing His Majesty wanted to do.
Because... this can judge the emperor's personality and know what is the most important priority of the court next.
But when the railway construction edict was made, everyone understood.
The top priority of the new dynasty is to build railways.
Suddenly, the exchange went crazy again, and all the stocks that were related to the rise of railways.
The price of iron and wood are particularly fierce, and the mechanical workshops everywhere have suddenly become popular.
Xishan Jianye is even more outstanding.
This situation scared Zhu Houzhao.
He couldn't help but grin and quickly asked someone to call Fang Jifan: "What's going on? The price of iron and wood has risen so much. The project budget has never calculated that the price has risen so high. So..."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not impatient. It is normal. It is not unreasonable to have a high rise now. The original supply of pig iron and wood is not in short supply, but now there is so many projects that need to be started, how can it not rise? It is precisely because of the increase that the merchants think it is profitable. They think that there is a big profit, and they will go crazy looking for iron ore, investing funds, recruiting people, purchasing mining tools, and digging. Without this countless manpower and material resources, they will invest in pig iron production, as well as logging and processing of wood, how can this railway be built? Your Majesty is worried. This is not a big deal. On the contrary, it will be of great benefit to the future construction of railways."
Zhu Houzhao's expression calmed down a little.
"Well, everyone from the Engineering Academy has been dispatched."
Fang Jifan said, "I've been dispatched. Even the students who have just entered the school for less than half a year have now rushed to various provinces to start exploration. Xishan College plans to recruit more students from engineering this year, and add another 5,000 to the previous post, otherwise there would be a shortage of staff."
"Where are the craftsmen and coolies?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.
"I'm also trying to find a way to recruit him. Wang Bushi brought a message saying that he was willing to donate 15 million taels of silver for the purpose of building railways."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and she was happy and said happily: "Oh, I didn't expect that this dog has so much money, how much money does he have? Or should he be appointed as the emperor?"
Zhu Houzhao looked expectant and winked at Fang Jifan, as if there were mountains of gold and silver in front of her.
But Fang Jifan felt cold. Damn, this fucking made everyone feel in danger? If Wang Bushi knew that his "good deeds" were not the emperor's praise, but the emperor was thinking about his principal, he would definitely not be able to sleep.
So Fang Jifan said patiently: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that "Your Majesty is to fish in the waters. This king is willing to do such great strength. It shows that his loyalty to the court and the emperor is his business. He should not go too far in everything. However, what he said was donation. I think it is not considered donation. When he invests in it, Your Majesty should not ask for his money for nothing."
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that this made sense.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is a very reasonable person, of course...the premise is that you have to make sense.
He said, "It's very good, it's very good. Even if he invests in it, I admire this Wang Bushi very much. I will find a reason to live some time and give him a reward."
Fang Jifan finally felt relieved. Look, he had become a good person again and had accumulated virtue for his son again.
Fang Jifan nodded quickly: "Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, which is very admirable to me."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan strangely: "You have always admired your father very much before. Then, tell me, is it because I admire you or your father even more?"
Fang Jifan: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Fang Jifan said, "Of course it's Your Majesty. Your Majesty has a strong ambition. He is the dragon among the dragons and the best among the dragons."
Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and went to the corner of the hall to the eunuch who was secretary: "Remember, record it, and you must practice it in the record of your daily life. One day, your father will come back from the Golden Island and confront you in front of you."
Fang Jifan still smiled on his face, and his eyes were filled with disgust: "What I admire most is His Majesty's spirit of being serious. The so-called fear of being serious in everything. Just relying on this, Your Majesty can chase Yao and Shun directly. I am even more rude to say that Shennong, my ancestor, is not as good as Your Majesty. Your Majesty has the heart to swallow the universe and the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. It is unprecedented and no one will come after you!"
