    Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he was happy: "From now on, you are called a dolphin, not a pig."

    "If I become the emperor in the future, I will call all the pigs in the world dolphins. It is forbidden to eat dolphins in the palace. I will eat cows."

    Fang Jifan was speechless.

    In fact, Zhu Houzhao did this in history. According to Wuzong's records, after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, the people were not allowed to call pigs pigs.

    This guy is really stingy. If a man named Hou becomes the emperor, wouldn't everyone be allowed to play monkey? Such people are really overbearing.

    Only our successor is different. If our successor becomes the emperor, what will I do to ban the square table?  I am an open-minded person and would never do this.

    After a while, someone came to report that the price of iron was still falling, so that people in the market began to smell that the color of iron had changed.

    Fang Jifan didn¡¯t care about this.

    This time, countless pig irons were transported to the capital and directly smashed the market. He had expected this to happen.

    This can be regarded as a lesson to those merchants. Hoarding goods is harmful to the national economy and people's livelihood. Sooner or later they will be repaid.

    But on the other hand, the surge in pig iron has also made the mining industry prosperous to some extent.

    In the past, mining was mostly government-run, but now, people can really see the mining industry in Hexi.

    There are mountains of gold and silver there, and now a group of merchants are going back and forth. Even if this trade road is open, the reason why Fang Jifan will purchase a large amount of pig iron at a price of about one hundred yuan is, on the one hand, to make these goods available for sale.  Merchants are profitable, even if they travel to and from the Hexi Corridor, there is a certain profit margin. Although the profits may not be as good as some huge profits, at least they can ensure that they do not lose money. In the future more and more merchants will be willing to  Only if you go to Hexi, the various minerals in Hexi will be marketable.

    You must know that the iron ore in Hexi is very cheap. A pound of pig iron only costs forty or fifty yuan to ship. When it reaches the capital, the profit is doubled.

    At this time, Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh: "I almost got fooled by Liu Wenshan, a dog-like thing. Fortunately, these merchants arrived in time Your Highness, there is enough pig iron now. Next, this railway track  , we have to step up production. We should not be afraid of spending money. Money is something external to us. The most important thing is" Fang Jifan glared at Zhu Houzhao: "We have already collected countless pieces of land in the old city. Just wait for when.  Speculate these lands and properties. Your Highness, I will tell you the truth. All these lands and properties in the old city were embezzled from Xishan Bank¡¯s money. Once something goes wrong in the old city, I will tell you the truth.  , Your Highness, I will go to sea, I will go to Jinshan"

    Zhu Houzhao shuddered: "I also owe my father-in-law a lot of money. When the time comes, I will run with you."

    Fang Jifan: ""

    ""

    "Work!" Fang Jifan slapped the case, suddenly feeling that his whole body was full of fighting spirit.

    He doesn¡¯t like to cross the ocean. He just wants to live a good life, grow old together with Her Highness the Princess, and support Fang Zhengqing¡¯s prodigal son. He doesn¡¯t expect any big storms, but only hopes that the years will be peaceful.

    But now Fang Jifan suddenly panicked.

    This road needs to be repaired quickly. Once a run occurs, God knows whether Xishan Bank will be able to hold on or not.

    Zhu Houzhao groaned and said: "At the beginning, you said that it would definitely multiply ten times and dozens of times. You believed your nonsense, but you actually pinned your hopes on this railway track, but you asked me to build the railway.  If you fix it well, you will make a fortune, but if you don't fix it well, I will be in bad luck with you."

    Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder: "Your Highness, don't complain. The fundamental purpose of building roads is to benefit the country and the people. You are doing a good deed."

    Zhu Houzhao shook his head and walked away coolly.

    Daming Palace.

    Emperor Hongzhi sat behind the papers anxiously.

    He was a little lost in thought.

    Why did you believe in the evil deeds of Fang Jifan and Liu Wenshan in the first place?

    On his own documents, there are impeachment memorials one by one. Most of them are to impeach Wang Bushi.

    "These censors probably think that if we can't afford to offend Fang Jifan, how can we afford to offend you, Wang Bushi?"

    "This Wang Bushi is really shameless. In order to curry favor with Fang Jifan, he even lost his face and showed no character.

    The purpose of impeaching Wang Bushi is self-evident, it is to criticize The Wealth of Nations.

    In the eyes of many people, The Wealth of Nations is simply a naked discussion of interests. Confucian disciples, whyA steady stream of convoys, so farthe pig iron transported, according to a rough estimate, has exceeded 7.9 million kilograms"

    ? 7.9 million catties

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "The output of Huguang Province is only 7.9 million kilograms. How about Hexi, where is there so much pig iron?"

    "Your Majesty, I heard that the pig iron produced in Hexi is of extremely high quality. Not only that, but your Majesty, have you forgotten that many barbarians have settled there, and many refugees have migrated to settle there. The iron mines there are everywhere.   They started mining pig iron a few years ago. They have already stocked up a batch of goods in the warehouse. When they heard that someone was coming to pick up the goods, their output increased greatly"

    Emperor Hongzhi was also convinced.

    In fact, the Ming Dynasty monopolized all pig iron mining in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and put the eunuchs in charge. The output has always been relatively stable. From the early Ming Dynasty to the present, it is difficult to change.

    On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty was a low-desire society, and the demand was only so much, so there was no need to deliberately increase production. On the other hand, the mining areas in various places had become increasingly bloated, making it difficult to achieve anything.

    But now Emperor Hongzhi was confused. He couldn't imagine why the amount of iron produced was so terrifying.
