Looking at Liu Qian's face full of horror, at this time, Emperor Hongzhi finally knew that things were not simple.

He shouted, "Say!" ”

"Your Majesty is in the Fengtian Palace...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran over...... The slave didn't care at the time, thinking that it was ...... Thought...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down to warm the pavilion to wait for His Majesty, so the slave maid specially went to the tea room to pour tea for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Emperor Hongzhi became impatient, what does this have to do with the crown prince: "Be concise and to the point. ”

"Yes, yes......" Liu Qian was already frightened: "But who knows, just poured tea, but found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was carrying a large bag of things, and with a whoosh, he rushed out, and the slave maid ...... Where did the slave and maid dare to chase, and I didn't know what was going on, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran away, the slave and maid found that in the warm pavilion, there was a missing piece of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", as well as a pair of ivory gold-inlaid pen holders, as well as the dragon and phoenix jade that had been handed down since the Tang Dynasty, and ......"

Listening to Liu Qian's words, Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth, but he was dumbfounded at this time.

Does this count as stealing?

Bold, bold! Roll up my stuff and run.

"Slaves and maids die!" Liu Qian's body trembled even more and fell to the ground.

Emperor Hongzhi looked back, and sure enough, when he checked carefully, the dragon and phoenix jade were gone, and there was still a pen holder......

At this moment, he suddenly rushed behind the screen, and couldn't help but say: "What about the Guishan inkstone that I handed down from the Huizong court......

Liu Qian's body trembled again, he didn't dare to raise his head, and only said expectantly: "I want to come, I want to come......"

"Loser!" Emperor Hongzhi brushes his sleeves, the warm pavilion is the daily office of Emperor Hongzhi, usually most of the time, stay here, so Emperor Hongzhi's favorite palace Chinese play, are also displayed here, these things, all are heirloom treasures, but now they are all ...... Vanish into thin air......

Emperor Hongzhi found that he couldn't get angry at this time, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and he was in a daze for a long time before he suddenly said: "Ling Jinyi Wei check and see what the prince is doing." And ......" A flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes: "No one should make a noise about this matter!" ”

After all, compared to Emperor Hongzhi, his treasure, the crown prince is the meat of his heart, this kid is so unbelievable, there must be something weird. This matter can't be publicized, otherwise, how do people in the world view the prince?

Since it is not possible to show theft in the palace, then ...... Naturally, you can't ask and check in a big way, so ...... Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched, I forbear!

"Slave maid...... The slave obeys. "Liu Qianru was amnesty.

…………

The next morning, it was still cold, and there were many unclothed homeless people on the streets along the way, who were huddled in the streets and alleys, which seemed to be related to the disaster in Baoding Prefecture.

Fang Jifan sighed in his mouth, looking at the person curled up in the corner shivering, Fang Jifan was dressed tightly, and he still felt cold, let alone them?

When I arrived at Zhan Shifu, I unexpectedly saw Wang Jinyuan.

Fang Jifan greeted Wang Jinyuan warmly, but Wang Jinyuan was like a frightened bird, lowered his head, pretended not to recognize Fang Jifan, and left in a hurry.

That's weird......

Fang Jifan entered the Zhan Mansion and was led to see Zhu Houzhao, as soon as Zhu Houzhao saw him, he said excitedly: "There is silver in this palace." ”

He looked extremely excited, looked radiant, snapped, and threw out a contract: "You have silver, don't you have silver in this palace?" Hey, hey, who'......"

Deng Jian is now following Fang Jifan at any time, and Zhu Houzhao seems to allow Deng Jian to enter and leave Zhan Shifu at any time, Deng Jian heard who it was, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little one is called Deng Jian." ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Read this contract to your young master." ”

Deng Jian stretched out his hand to take the contract, but Fang Jifan took it first, and after reading it, he knew that this was a note set up by Wang Jinyuan, which roughly meant that he was willing to buy a "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Zhu Houzhao with a pattern of 200,000 taels of silver, as well as various cultural toys, and within three days, the money and goods were cleared.

Fang Jifan said in surprise: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what did Wang Jinyuan buy these for?" "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"? As far as the minister knows, this should be a hidden thing in the palace, where did Wang Jinyuan get the courage to dare to buy it? ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "He didn't have the courage to buy it, but he didn't have the courage not to buy it." ”

Fang Jifan instantly understood what he meant in his heart, nine times out of ten, when Wang Jinyuan signed the contract, he was put on his neck with a knife, lack of morality, Zhu Houzhao is a scumbag.

Fang Jifan wanted to scold Zhu Houzhao very much, in his opinion, although Wang Jinyuan was greedy, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, how can he blatantly grab money in broad daylight, and people are just begging for a living.

It's just that this kind of thing, what else can be said, the wood has become a boat, Fang Jifan showed appreciation on his face, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is clever in his means, admire, admire." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan's ambiguous appearance, and suddenly became excited: "What do you mean, do you think that this palace has robbed the people and robbed the people's wealth?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "What are these words, what's wrong with looting people's property?" Looting people's wealth is inferior? If the people's money is not robbed, is it still human? ”

Deng Jian nodded his head in the back of his chin busily: "Young Master's words, it is really deafening and enlightening!" ”

Deng Jian smiled very happily, this is a smile from the heart, he grew up with the former Fang Jifan when he was a child, and he has long been psychologically distorted and perverted.

"......" Zhu Houzhao was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Nonsense, this palace is not robbing silver, this palace is just taking, taking the treasure of my father and selling it to Wang Jinyuan." ”

When Fang Jifan heard this, he gasped suddenly, Your Highness, what are you stealing, you are a pit, you are a pit.

Zhu Houzhao then said nonchalantly: "But that Wang Jinyuan didn't dare to buy it, Bengong was angry, so he obediently expressed his willingness to buy it, now can we start trading?" How to do this transaction? ”

Fang Jifan could only be speechless about the pit that Zhu Houzhao gave him.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao ask about this transaction, Fang Jifan became serious, and said seriously: "The minister bought a barren mountain in Xishan, but this barren mountain always has to be excavated, so it is necessary to recruit some people, not only that, but some land near the barren mountain also needs to be bought, and the minister has contacted some nearby landlords, and he has come to talk in the past two days." ”

"Excavate, excavate what?" Zhu Houzhao said in surprise.

Fang Jifan said: "Coal, isn't it cold now?" Sell the coal to keep people warm. ”

"Huh......" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Why didn't Bengong think of it?" ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Where, where, I have heard someone say that there is coal there, so I bought the coal, Your Highness think about it, now the cold weather, I think it will be snowing heavily in a short time, and those people, if they don't keep warm, they have to freeze to death." In addition, the minister also thought about it, whether it is charcoal or coal, if the smoke is smoked for a long time, if the house is impermeable, it will inevitably smoke people to death, the minister plans to build some coal stoves and smoke pipes at the foot of the mountain, the rich families in the capital are exquisite, not bad money, this is not also a business opportunity? ”

"Oops......" Zhu Houzhao was excited: "Bengong didn't expect this, this is to make a lot of money with Bengong and you." ”

"Of course, it is to make a lot of money, as long as the weather is colder, this heating thing is the same as firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is an indispensable thing for people, as long as it is indispensable, and the price of our coal mining is far lower than the price of charcoal, we are not afraid that no one will buy it." In the past few years, outside the Beijing Division, the trees have already been cut down, and the price of charcoal is also getting higher and higher year by year. And the coal is different, the minister knows that the coal in Xishan is a shallow coal mine, it doesn't take much effort to mine, it is inexhaustible, and the price is more than ten times cheaper than charcoal. ”

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands excitedly, and felt more and more that he had a lot to do, in fact, what coal is, people in this era have long known, doesn't there be a special coal mountain in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen still hanged himself there, so even Zhu Houzhao knew that this coal could be burned, he couldn't help but pat his head: "This palace didn't even think of it at all, yes, coal can be burned, Brother Fang is really smart, you see, so many people in this world can't even think of it, but Brother Fang thought of it." ”
