Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1462 The Truth

  Fang Jifan sighed inwardly.

  Looking at Emperor Hongzhi looking at himself questioningly.

  To be honest, seeing His Majesty so happy, Fang Jifan couldn't bear to tell him the **** truth.

  Two million taels of silver, this was the annual income of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Although the wealth of the treasury and internal funds is growing wildly, His Majesty still saves money and saves money in the palace.

   These two million taels are enough for Emperor Hongzhi to live a lifetime of luxury.

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, but still said: "Your Majesty...these people are liars."

   "Liar..." Emperor Hongzhi's face stiffened suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.

   "How is it possible, they are real gold and silver, and never default. And... So many people put silver into their bank, Jifan, is it wrong?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's face became miserable.

  Fang Jifan didn't even bother arguing with Emperor Hongzhi.

  Because...the essence of the debate is that no matter who holds the truth, even if you give a hundred examples, you still can’t convince the other party. Fang Jifan has never seen both sides of an argument in his life, and one side will be convinced.

  Thus, the result of the dispute is often that the two parties break up unhappy, or the final debate escalates and the problem is solved directly with fists.

  Fang Jifan's fist is not as hard as Emperor Hongzhi's, so he naturally admits to being cowardly.

  And this kind of scam itself is to take advantage of the victim's psychology.

  If a person has given half of his wealth to the other party, at this time, he will subconsciously hypnotize himself.

  Like many victims, no matter how dissuaded by those around him, he still insisted on going his own way, believing in the scam.

  The key to the problem lies here.

If Fang Jifan said at this time, Your Majesty, it is better to immediately lead troops to surround the bank and seize the owner. Even if Emperor Hongzhi agrees, as soon as the soldiers and horses arrive at the bank, tens of thousands of victims in Beijing will rush out, and... Officers and soldiers desperately.

  Because in their view, they believed in the Ruyi Bank, and the officers and soldiers were going to the Ruyi Bank to take people. In their view, this was clearly the officers and soldiers deliberately framed the owner, and they were jealous of other people's wealth.

   It is just that among these people, there are not only ordinary people, but also many people like Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Bo.

   Isn't this fighting with your officers and soldiers?

  Fang Jifan smiled, looked at Emperor Hongzhi meaningfully and said, "Don't you believe it, Your Majesty?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

  The other party succeeds Fan, he trusts him.

  But...the bank is really a liar?

  Damn it! Can…

  What about my money?

   No, they must not be liars, they must have made a mistake. Could it be that Fang Jifan has some prejudice against his colleagues?

   Well, it must be.

  Emperor Hongzhi struggled in his heart, and then, as Fang Jifan expected, he began to hypnotize himself, just like all the victims.

  In fact, this is understandable. Many such victims, no matter how much their children and relatives around them try to persuade them, still remain unmoved.

  The Ponzi scheme seems simple, but to some extent, it has captured the weakest part of people's hearts.

  Fang Jifan's last life, there are too many such examples around him.

   Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's hesitant and distressed look, Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I dare you to make a bet with Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, unable to react, looked at Fang Jifan, and asked in puzzlement, "What?"

  Fang Jifan said: "I can assure you that within three days, the owner of Ruyi Bank will definitely run away."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked up with surprise.

   Within three days.

  How could Fang Jifan calculate so clearly?

   No, it's never possible.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "I won, how about it?"

  Fang Jifan said solemnly: "If your majesty wins, the title of duke will be returned to your majesty, and I would like to be a white man."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, the title was conferred by himself, and he hoped that his son-in-law could enjoy the glory and wealth, and live with the country, so taking his title was not attractive to Emperor Hongzhi.

   But Fang Jifan's words made Emperor Hongzhi see his determination.

   This made Emperor Hongzhi's already restless heart a little more anxious.

  Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "If Jifan wins."

Fang Jifan said: "I found that I have too many relatives in the south, far more than 10,000 households. So far, there are as many as 19,000 households. If only half of the relatives are moved away, the rest of the relatives will stay. In Daming, this is tantamount to separation of flesh and blood? My son feels sorry for them and wants them to go to the Golden Continent together."

  Emperor Hongzhi kept a straight face, seeing what Fang Jifan said was serious, as if he had a nose and an eye, and held back the inexplicable smile in his heart: "Is...really?"

  Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Exactly, Your Majesty, if my ministers also go to Huangjinzhou in the future, but they cannot make the trip, my ministers must miss them day and night, and miss them every day."

   "Okay." Emperor Hongzhi was finally relieved of his anxiety by Fang Jifan's words, and forced a smile: "I'm ready, I accept this bet. I have a word first, three days!"

  Fang Jifan smiled, his eyes flashed with determination, and he said decisively: "Three days!"

  …

  Fang Jifan left.

  What was left behind was a terrible message.

  Ruyi Bank is a liar.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his face fluctuating.

  He began to feel uncertain.

  Xiao Jing stood aside, but he didn't look like the old monk just now, he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty..."

   "Xiao Banban wants to say something."

"I want to say, the owner of Ruyi Bank, I have checked clearly, his net worth is very clean, and...before that, he was indeed a very capable businessman with a good reputation, and everyone praised him. Not a liar."

  Xiao Jing behaved very strangely today, these words were said firmly, as if to cheer him up.

   "Moreover, many government houses, hundreds of officials in the court, and countless people have invested in silver. Ruyi Qian's family has a big business, how can it be a liar?"

  Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved a little, nodded and said: "So, this time, Jifan made a mistake."

"Qi Guogong has never seen the demeanor of the owner of Ruyi Bank, and he doesn't know much about Ruyi Bank, so he made a wrong conclusion, which is understandable. If he knew the ability of Ruyi Bank, he would not have said so." Xiao Xiao Jing licked his lips: "Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and this slave will ask someone to find out the details of Ruyi Bank."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we will see the outcome within three days, and we will talk about it then. I also want to know now, whether Jifan has predicted things like a god."

  Xiao Jing nodded, but he was a little uneasy.

  Many people in the palace secretly invested in Ruyi Bank.

Think about it, if you go down to one hundred taels of silver, you will earn five taels of silver every day. Now the money is not as good as the year after year, and it depreciates when you put it in your hands. I can't find it even with a lantern.

  As for...Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing invested all his wealth and life in it, received dividends every month, and was extremely happy.

  If Ruyi Bank is a liar, can Xiao Jing still live?

   He gritted his teeth and said: "Three days, within three days, the Qi State Guild will come to plead guilty to His Majesty, and this servant can assure you that that Mr. Chen's family is a sincere gentleman and a rare romantic person."

  …

  Chapter 3 is delivered, ask for a monthly pass.
