Fang Jifan also understood at this time why His Majesty wanted to show this piece to himself, instead of asking Liu Jin and the others for advice.

Wang Ao is by no means alone.

Come to think of it, this represents the views of the officials of the DPRK and China.

Even Liu Jianren and others seem to think that the emperor's private money is too much, but the treasury is beyond its means, and this trip to the West is the most expensive thing to spend money and food, and the cost of building ships and recruiting craftsmen and sailors alone exceeds the expenditure of the treasury by nearly one-half a year.

In the past, everyone thought that it was enough to grit their teeth and persevere.

But now I look, eh, fellow, ah, your majesty, you have so much silver?

All of a sudden, many people's minds began to heat up, Your Majesty, you have to give money.

On the surface, this is the letter of the divine teacher Wang Ao, but in fact, behind it is the wish of the vast majority of people in the DPRK and China, and God even knows whether Liu Jian and others are behind the scenes.

Emperor Hongzhi is certainly a Ming monarch, but his hard-earned family funds, this is his own son and grandson's private money, how can he be willing to move the silver out, he understands the deep meaning behind this, but if he doesn't give it, it seems that Wang Ao came forward, and there are many people behind him secretly cheering, it seems, and it can't be said.

In the future, what should I do if my children and grandchildren have no internal funds?

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's attitude is very clear, he doesn't want to give, but he doesn't want to have a stalemate with the court.

Come to think of it, this involves the way of the economy. Xiao Jing knows a fart, the prince knows a fart, and those eunuchs in the inner court, even including Zhang Mao, none of them are useful.

can be discussed, think about it, it seems that there is only one Fang Jifan.

This is his son-in-law.

After Fang Jifan read it, he probably understood the meaning of His Majesty, Wang Ao and the people behind Wang Ao.

Fang Jifan exhaled, glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, with resentment in his eyes, and said: "Here I say, in Your Majesty's inner money, there are actually seven million and three hundred and ninety thousand silver, and there are countless treasures?" ”

As soon as he said this, Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed.

I have worked hard to save it, and I am usually reluctant to knit new clothes, but in the past ten years, I have not only reduced how much I have used.

The most powerful thing about these courtiers is that they can always find the name of righteousness and make the emperor obediently give in, what is even more terrifying is that these people are quite good at counting, as soon as they noticed that there was silver in the inner money, they really calculated the private money of Emperor Hongzhi, which was accurate to a single digit, which was clearer than Emperor Hongzhi's calculation.

Emperor Hongji coughed: "Well, the point is not this ......"

Fang Jifan continued to look resentful: "When Her Royal Highness the princess got married, the palace gave 600,000 catties of gold, and the princess said that the dowry in the palace was less, and the sons and daughters also defended Your Majesty, saying that the palace is also very difficult, and we must share the difficulties with Your Majesty." ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi's old face turned red, he naturally knew that his daughter Zhu Xiurong had lived in the palace for a long time, and he would not have a concept of silver, let alone say to Fang Jifan that the dowry was less, this must have been arranged by Fang Jifan, and this was a complaint about the lack of dowry.

Emperor Hongzhi was annoyed and said angrily: "Don't talk about these details, I ask you for your idea." ”

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Your Majesty, whether it is a dowry or going to the West, for Your Majesty, it is just a matter of thought, but for the ministers and countless shipwrights, it is the whole of life." ”

“……”

Emperor Hongzhi regretted it, and knew that he would rather discuss with Zhang Mao than with Fang Jifan.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Fang Jifan smiled at this time and said, "Your Majesty, but ...... Now that His Majesty's internal money has been converted, and it is still the prince who is playing, can Your Majesty stop it? It must be known that if this matter spreads, it will inevitably be discussed by people all over the world. Your Majesty is a holy king, how can you ruin your reputation because of a little silver? ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Fang Jifan actually ...... Eat inside and out.

"Jifan, don't forget your roots, I have always felt sorry for you."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, and listen to the ministers, this is the general trend, the general trend is unstoppable, if there is no hair in the palace, when the time comes, it will only make more trouble, even if Your Majesty forces this matter today, what about tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow?" When I went to the West, there was too much money and food involved, and there were indeed many deficiencies in the treasury, and the ministers had hit His Majesty's internal funds with their ideas. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, that was what he was worried about.

So he paced back and forth in this hall with his hands behind his back: "I have saved it with great difficulty, and I usually refuse to wear new clothes. ”

Fang Jifan smiled: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with allocating money and grain to the West from now on, but ...... This matter has to be discussed, money and food can be out of the palace, but in the future, all the income from the West has not entered the palace. ”

"Is there any profit from going to the West?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Fang Jifan also served Emperor Hongzhi, this surname is Zhu, before becoming the emperor, didn't he train in economics?

Fang Jifan nodded: "Your Majesty, didn't you forget, how did the Japanese come here, so many Japanese criminals, isn't it because of private businessmen, but why do private businessmen want to go to the sea desperately?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "How much can I gain?" ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's hard to say, but Erchen can guarantee that the palace will never suffer this loss." ”

"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan: "These countless ships, as well as personnel, the loss is a lot, at least, I have to pay a million silver tattoos every year." ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Erchen can use the brave and loyal Gonggong Liu as a guarantor, Gonggong Liu and Erchen have friends in trouble, if it weren't for him covering us, attracting rebels, and assassinating Zhu Chenhao, whether it can be successful, Erchen still dare not guarantee it." Gonggong Liu is the softest piece in the bottom of his son's heart. If Erchen's prediction is wrong, this Liu Gonggong is in the underworld, and he will inevitably go into the oil pot and enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be able to live forever! ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, and saw that Fang Jifan was serious, although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but if he thought about it, Fang Jifan was not an unreliable person.

What's more, Liu Jin and Fang Jifan share hardships, this Jifan, I think he can be regarded as a person with affection.

Emperor Hongzhi squinted: "So, I'm approved?" ”

"En-permission."

Emperor Hongzhi said confidently: "I won't let me give out the money." ”

"Your Majesty, make a decision as soon as possible!"

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to sigh and said: "What Ji Fan said is not unreasonable, even so, I am accurate, but you are right, this matter, you have to say it well, you might as well, you can go and tell them, after you explain it, let the cabinet play again, let them be themselves, and distinguish the allocation of internal funds and the income of internal funds." I'm gracious again! ”

Politics is really complicated.

Fang Jifan felt dizzy.

Emperor Koji was right.

In this matter, it really can't be that Emperor Hongzhi can go to bargain with the ministers, so the ministers have to take the initiative to make this power and responsibility clear through the recital, and the emperor will give permission at will, which not only shows that His Majesty is willing to allocate money and food from within, but also shows that His Majesty is not a person who must be compared.

"Okay, Erchen will go."

"Wait." Emperor Hongzhi remembered something: "Jifan, this is really ...... There won't be any problems, what if the ship sinks, what if, the ship loses everything? If ......"

Fang Jifan could see that Emperor Hongzhi really felt sorry for his silver.

After a lifetime of picking on the door, he pointed to this money for his children and grandchildren, and there was no need for his children and grandchildren to run to the treasury to beg for money and food.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the sons and daughters have already guaranteed it, will the sons and daughters ignore Father-in-law Liu?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "It's better to be like this, this money and grain, eighty percent of the internal money, your Fang family, don't you also have silver, the Fang family gives two percent, and the internal money is together, and the expenses for the West are allocated together, if there is really an income, these two percent of the income, allocate you to succeed the ......."

“……”

Fang Jifan said in his heart, who said that the emperor didn't understand economics, he still knew how to take risks.

Fang Jifan had no choice but to say, "Oh, that's okay." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was much more ruddy at this time.

Fang Jifan led the message, went to the cabinet, met Liu Jian first, and then called the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries, and everyone gathered together.

Liu Jian showed a detached attitude, as if he didn't care about the expenses of the West.

Li Dongyang only smiled.

Xie Qian stared at Fang Jifan, his eyes flickering.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, smiled, and said that he was a dog in his heart, and it was a matter of silver, so wait and see, when it comes to silver, he will have to scold the Ministry of War for spending money and food indiscriminately.

Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been radiant recently, his son has been made a marquis, look at it, look at it, I am Zhang Yuanxi's father, the one who shot the rebellion of King Pingning.

This Wang Ao, but he didn't say a word, he looked very reserved, the emperor, of course, he should put on a high posture and hold it.

Fang Jifan probably conveyed His Majesty's intentions.

All of a sudden, the awkward atmosphere turned out to be a little lively.

Liu Jian's eyes widened, as if all of a sudden, he felt that this happy event was coming too quickly.

Originally, I thought that His Majesty would definitely bargain, for example, the internal treasury was willing to allocate 100,000 taels, or he scolded his own courtiers, and scolded the ministers for not being loyal enough.

But this promise is too painful.

It's unbelievable.

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang looked happy: "Your Majesty really said that?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty naturally has Your Majesty's difficulties, but my Jifan thinks about it carefully, the imperial court is also very difficult, and it is difficult for everyone to work together, so I have repeatedly persuaded Your Majesty, please Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation, Your Majesty is a good person after all, and finally ...... Yes. ”

All...... Looking at Fang Jifan, this Fang Jifan ...... Have this realization?

Like, something is not quite right.

Suddenly the sky changed, and I had to stretch out my hand to type on the keyboard, my hand was so cold, so miserable, begging for a monthly pass.
