Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1386 Joy from Heaven

  Fengtian Hall was silent.

  Everyone looked at the **** strangely.

  To tell the truth, they just heard about it, and they really can’t imagine that someone can still laugh and talk to you cordially after being slapped.

   I have never even heard that the country, whose own monarch was beaten, can still say such shameless words.

   face?

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

  He expressed disbelief.

  There have always been many untruths in the reports, which is what is called deception.

  It's just... What Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand was that Liu Wenshan, a disciple of Fang Jifan, was so particular about seeking truth from facts, that he was just like everyone else?

  Oh, it is Liu Jin who is playing, and Liu Jin is Liu Wenshan's son. Could it be that this is Liu Jin, carrying the sedan chair for Liu Wenshan?

  But Liu Jin came out of the palace after all.

  Should be a very smart character, logically, he shouldn't be so stupid.

  So... this cannot be explained by common sense at all.

  Emperor Hongzhi paused, and said, "Is there anything else to come?"

"There are still many more." The **** coughed and continued: "Your Majesty, every sentence I played is true, and if there are false words, I will be punished by God. After the talk, the King of Zhenla issued an edict to obey the words of my father, Thirty-one edicts were promulgated..."

   "Here..." the **** said, taking out a copy of the Zhenla King's edict, and cupping his hands: "This is the Chenla edict presented by Eunuch Liu, please read it through Your Majesty."

   And the edict...

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

   Someone took the imperial edict and presented it to Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a copy.

  This edict is in Zhenla, and there is a special translation below.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look, and found that it was the edict of the King of Chenla to promote the new learning. He believed that the new learning was beneficial to the country. It was necessary to set up academies in various places, hire new Confucian students, and go to the academies to give lectures and spread the holy learning.

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment. He heard that Chenla is a Buddhist country with its own culture, and now he started advocating new learning. This is...unbelievable.

  He picked up the second copy, but it was the King of Chenla who issued an edict, worshiping the shopkeeper of the Chenla Small Country in Xishan Bank as the Minister of Finance, and the shopkeeper of the Siyang Commercial Bank stationed in Chenla Small Country as the Minister of Commerce, ranked among the seven ministers, and participated in the military aircraft.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath when he saw this.

  The shopkeeper with two semicolons actually worshiped directly as a minister, what a handwriting.

   This time, he no longer felt that Liu Jin was bragging.

   This guy is obviously very honest, you can see that he looks fat and chubby, and he is very honest at first glance.

  Emperor Hongzhi was in shock.

   In his opinion, the more unbelievable this is, the more it shows how amazing this Liu Wenshan is.

  Liu Jian and others looked anxiously at Emperor Hongzhi looking down at the imperial edict, and they were quite anxious. They also wanted to know what happened.

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, so he took the edict he had read and passed it on, while he picked up a new edict.

  This one is an edict on trade, and it is the edict governing the state capitals. To assist the Siyang Commercial Bank and set up a trade war, especially the ports along the coast, they need to cooperate.

  There is also... an edict banning Francois, requiring the soldiers and civilians to be ruled, and strictly inspect Francois who enter the country. Once found, they will be dealt with immediately, and those who have adulterated Francois will be severely punished.

  Besides that, here comes the main event...

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up.

  This edict is to pass the Daming banknotes. The government collects taxes, distributes military salaries and official salaries, and the Daming banknotes shall prevail.

  Hoo...

  Emperor Hongzhi slapped the case: "The big thing is settled."

  There is no need to look at the edict later, Emperor Hongzhi already knew what was going on.

  The Kingdom of Chenla is more than subdued, but completely surrendered.

  People from Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank entered the Chenla Royal Court, which means they have the right to speak.

  The Daming Banknote has also been thoroughly accepted by the Chenla Kingdom.

  By the way, there are also new learnings that have begun to spread openly.

   and Siyang Trading Company's monopoly trade with Chenla.

   Based on these four points alone.

  The so-called Zhenla Kingdom, with tens of thousands of armour, and the so-called solidity of mountains and rivers, at this moment, in Daming's eyes, is just paper.

  Liu Jian and others circulated these edicts one by one, and the more they read, the more surprised they became.

They even thought in their hearts, if at this time, Daming's official school is full of other people's knowledge, Daming's household department is controlled by others, the precious banknotes used by Daming are printed by others, and Daming's treaty ports are only with others. Specific certain business transactions.

what does that mean?

  It means... from now on, Daming will always be under the control of others.

   Money and food are so important that what the cabinet and the six ministries do all day long is to constantly calculate money and food.

  It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

   That is to say, this Liu Wenshan completely overthrew Chenla to the ground with his own power, and he will never be reborn.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The old minister is very ashamed. Speaking of which, the old minister is not abandoned by His Majesty. He has made no achievements, let alone made great achievements as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet. But this Liu Wenshan, Liu Jinren, etc., It is a soldier who surrenders without fighting, and makes Chenla surrender without a single soldier. The old minister is really ashamed. This great achievement is also the great joy of His Majesty and the community. Congratulations to Your Majesty, there are talents from generation to generation, we There is someone who will succeed Ming Dynasty."

  This is something to be gratified about.

   Over the years, how many talents have emerged.

  Among the eunuchs, there is Liu Jin.

  Among the ministers, there are Wang Shouren, Tang Yin, Xu Jing, Ouyang Zhi, and Liu Wenshan.

Even...Yang Yiqing heard that he is currently presiding over the New Deal in Baoding. , but in good order.

  Even the two uncles of the country, don’t they have a bit of IQ recently?

  As for Zhang Xin, Qi Jingtong, Shen Ao, Hu Kaishan, etc., although they are not alone, they are all professionals, and their future prospects may also be unlimited.

  The imperial court is full of talents, and it will only be a matter of time before the government will be well-organized and the people will be harmonious, and the world will be shocked.

   Liu Wenshan is very happy now, especially Liu Wenshan has such a good performance, he praised him fiercely.

   After all, his son also studied literature with Liu Wenshan.

  Although he is worried about his son all day long, he can feel at ease when he sees that these people in Xishan Academy are all supernatural.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "That's right, this is the Kingdom of Chenla...but...Western countries, I'm afraid they are all under Liu Wenshan's strategy. Ah...Jifan..."

   "My son is here." Fang Jifan saluted.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "Why, you are frowning."

  Fang Jifan said: "This little contribution is not worth mentioning. I am really not happy, my son..."

   "Okay." Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands with a smile on his face, "Since the Qing family feels that there is nothing to be happy about, then don't say anything."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  He felt more and more that His Majesty had begun to evolve.

  Damn it... I'm getting more and more unreasonable to play cards. I haven't finished my sentence yet, so I'm not allowed to suppress first and then raise?

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and looked at Liu Jian: "This Liu Wenshan is my Banchao. He dared to teach the rude King Chenla a lesson, and he could retreat unscathed. This is what the ancients said, man."

   "Now... everything is at ease, Xiyang is temporarily handed over to him and Liu Jin, let them work hard, and I will wait for their new success report."

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed with excitement: "I finally...can sleep soundly."

  He sighed.

   These days, he has enough to worry about. Emperor Hongzhi was born to be a hard worker, but whenever something happened, he would feel like a lump in his throat, and he was extremely anxious.

   Now I spit it out in one breath, and the whole person is smooth.

  He waved his hand, after discussing for so long today: "Your Excellencies, I will take my leave for the time being."

  Liu Jian and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. Your Majesty, who is so well-behaved at this time, is actually in a hurry to send people away. This...is not like His Majesty's style.

   But His Majesty opened his mouth, and whoever dares to make a mistake will bow and leave.

Fang Jifan originally wanted to say a lot, and if His Majesty doesn't mind, he could even deliver a touching speech, within 30,000 words, which is no problem at all. Feeling useless.

   sent all the ministers away.

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, picked up a copy of the imperial edict and read it again with all his concentration, and then said: "Xiao Jing..."

Xiao Jing was on the side, with a numb look on his face, he was used to many things, so he became indifferent, life is so hard, jealousy is the greatest natural enemy of human beings, why should there be love, why should there be hatred, as for jealousy and greed , Compared with the long life, it is ridiculous.

   Looking back on my life, isn’t that exactly what I said?

  Everything is empty, so why bother yourself.

  He nodded: "The servant is here."

  When he spoke, it seemed that there was no smoke in the world.

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "What do you think of the news from the Chenla Kingdom?"

   "The slaves don't care about it, and the slaves don't dare to treat it."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing in surprise, and then thought for a while: "You are right, it makes sense. Then... I will test you, what is written in the sixth chapter and seventh section of The Wealth of Nations."

   "Your servant forgot." Xiao Jing replied honestly.

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Recently Xiao Jing always made Emperor Hongzhi feel a little different.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, and then said angrily: "I still don't understand, Siyang Commercial Bank is a foreign sea trade, which means a lot of goods, boosting demand, and the passage of Daming treasures to various countries means that future business It will be more convenient, what is this, this is the expansion of market demand, and the confidence will also be boosted. I... feel comfortable, and I will come back after all the money is gone, haha... Let someone go to the stock exchange center to keep an eye on me, just wait and see .”
