Fang Jifan couldn't stand Zhu Houzhao's bragging behavior.

Fortunately, he was well-educated, but he didn't reveal Zhu Houzhao. He just smiled and said, "But I don't know when Your Majesty will return to the palace. I'm afraid that Your Highness will need to greet him in person."

Zhu Houzhao felt her scalp numb.

He pondered and said, "I know, I know, I know."

The White Lotus Sect's affairs made Fang Jifan worry.

The popularity of gunpowder will inevitably lead to some people with ulterior motives to find some bad uses.

But... if gunpowder is not supplied and this tool is lost, many projects cannot continue.

Fang Jifan once attacked this White Lotus Sect ten years ago.

However, such organizations are most likely to revive. To put it bluntly, they have a certain social foundation.

In many places where the imperial power cannot be taken into account, some people always appear to pretend to be a god.

Fang Jifan said goodbye from Zhu Houzhao with his worries.

In a few days, a fast horse came in a hurry. His Majesty had arrived at Tianjin Guard and entered Beijing the next day.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly called Fang Jifan to pick him up.

Grand Secretary Li Dongyang was going to go, but was stopped by Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang with a smile: "Master Li, you don't have to go. If you have this palace, you will be able to do it. Master Li is busy with everything every day, so it's better to vote in the cabinet."

Li Dongyang had no choice but to salute: "Yes."

The emperor's grandson Zhu Zaimo went to Queen Zhang's place early in the morning to ask for peace, and he was also energetic and wanted to follow him.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him sternly: "Doesn't you want to be lazy and refuse to study? Your emperor's eldest father returns to Beijing and his father will greet him. What are you going to do? Read your book."

Zhu Zaimo frowned, but did not dare to disobey Zhu Houzhao's words and was driven away by Zhu Houzhao.

Fang Jifan watched from the side, puzzled: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "Master Li is here. What if he meets me for the first time, what should I do if I sue my palace for the first time? I am not as verbally as Master Li, so of course I cannot let him go. As for Zai Mo, I cannot go. If he sees his father slapping me, I will be his father after all, so where can I put this face?"

Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness is far-sighted." He thought to himself that this technology tree is a bit crooked, and his IQ is all about this messy matter.

Zhu Houzhao cheered up: "Let's go, let's hurry up and go to Tianjin Wei."

He led hundreds of cavalry to the Tianjin Guards. Halfway through the journey, he saw the guards in front of him, and then someone reported back.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived at the central army anxiously.

Here, Emperor Hongzhi had ordered people to stop the imperial carriage. Along the way, Emperor Hongzhi had no appetite at all. Xiao Jing was so anxious that he saw the prince and Duke of Qi coming, and looked around and saw that the two of them came and the others were there.

But he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly greeted Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "Your Highness..."

"Get out!"

Xiao Jing glanced at Zhu Houzhao resentfully and wanted to retreat.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Come back."

"What are your instructions?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him: "My father is fine."

"fine."

"Then I go and see you."

Xiao Jing went to report.

Emperor Hongzhi sat in the imperial carriage. His whole body was sweating and his hot face was slightly red.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan boarded the car.

The two bowed: "I have met Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was instantly excited when he saw the two of them, and blue veins burst out from his forehead.

Seeing that his father was not moving, Zhu Houzhao looked up carefully.

"Father..." Zhu Houzhao showed a flattering smile.

Emperor Hongzhi underestimated: "Is it okay in the capital?"

"Reply to Father's words..."

"I didn't let you say that, I asked Jifan."

Fang Jifan said seriously: "Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face: "Is that so? Nothing happened?"

"There is definitely something." Fang Jifan said: "But under the rule of His Royal Highness, everything is still safe. All the officials who stayed behind praised His Royal Highness for his wiseness."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he almost spit out a fire.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that Lao Fang was still very helpful. Even if he said this, even if he was completely tied to me, he would die together. This would be fine, and he would have a companion on the road. I was also thinking, if I was lonely on the road, I would take a bag of strings and knit sweaters on the road of Huangquan.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "Is that true? There was a natural disaster in Henan, do you know?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, a natural disaster occurred. After hearing the news, the Crown Prince immediately organized a disaster relief. Now, the disaster situation is safe."

"Haha..." Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to give Fang Jifan a chance to tell the truth, but now it seems that Fang Jifan and the prince are really in a nest of snakes and rats, and they are in a mess.

This made Emperor Hongzhi even more angry.

As a minister, you should take the initiative to accuse the monarch of his faults. Even if the two are as close as brothers, they should blame each other for their faults. This is the real brother and the real friend. If you cover up everything for him, it will only be considered as harming others.

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Then, I will ask you again, how did you provide relief."

"Move the people out of Henan and send them all to the capital." Fang Jifan answered honestly.

"Whose idea is this?"

"It's my son's idea." This time, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan said in unison.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "It seems that both of you have a share. Jifan, Jifan, I thought you were more serious than the prince. This time I left the capital and ordered the prince to supervise the country. This time, I was slightly relieved. I didn't expect that you were such a person."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Father, what's wrong with my son? Please ask my father to correct me."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment and said sternly: "When did I teach you how to provide relief to the disaster in this way?"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, over the years, the disaster in Henan has been better every year. It is the Central Plains with a large population and too little land. Even if the military farms promote a lot of grain, it is fine in the good year. Once the disaster is coming, it will be too late. If there is a natural disaster, people will starve to death. If it is just a relief and the imperial court releases grain, by that time, a lot of people will starve to death. The essence of this natural disaster is **. Why do you have **? It is nothing more than insufficient land and a large population. If people want to survive, they have to fight and rob. Instead of letting the victims sit and wait for death, it is better to move out some of the people."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was as if it were cut by a knife.

It’s okay if the money is gone, but you two bastards are still here to tell me the big truth. Why, my money has gone into nothing, or is it my fault? Or is it that I ignore the lives of the people, but you two prodigal sons who care about the people and the world?

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "What about my money? How much did the money in my warehouse spend?"

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other.

Fang Jifan coughed and said, "Your Majesty, it cost more than 73 million taels."

It turns out that there are three million more...

Emperor Hongzhi was almost fainted. So, the treasury was gone?

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Is that so? I have only been in a few months, and you... have spent all the treasury."

Zhu Houzhao said, "I'm not free, aren't there any more?"

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was almost ready to hold the carriage and knocked his head to the ground: "Danger! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will not forgive you. Even if I give my country to Acamera or Dog, I will never give you. How dare I give my ancestors' foundation? I will give you so much money. If you say you want to spend it, wouldn't it be... Isn't it all gone?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, you actually didn't spend so much."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was terrible.

He looked disappointed.

It's a taste of despair.

These silver were saved for the children and grandchildren.

To put it bluntly, I plan to use it for Zhu Houzhaohua in the future.

It's not like this.

In just a few months, the prince dared to do such a thing. So after he returned to heaven, this kid became the emperor and was in the dark, can he feel at ease?

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his heart was cold and his life was meaningless.

"Didn't you spend so much? Ho..."

"Your Majesty, I have settled the accounts. There should be 57 million taels in the treasury now."

"What?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan incredibly.

Fang Jifan said seriously: "Most of the silver in the treasury is stocks, and these stocks cannot be sold for a while. However, His Royal Highness is concerned about the victims and is eager to use the silver. Therefore, these stocks are mortgaged to the bank, and they indeed borrowed more than 70 million taels of silver. The remaining ones in the treasury are around 1,000 yuan. "

"But Your Majesty, over the past few months, countless victims have poured in, and the population of the capital has skyrocketed. The capital has released so much derivative money, and the demand has reached a very strong point. In addition, many of the expenses are on the construction of bridges and roads, and there are also a large number of projects. Because of this, as soon as the news came out, the stock market rose sharply, and almost all bulk goods were ready to move. Every workshop has countless orders. This is a great benefit. The stocks owned by Your Majesty, let alone the other listed companies that have been popular recently, even the Siyang Commercial Bank has taken the opportunity to rise. In other words, in the past few months, the stocks owned by the treasury have risen from the original 90 million taels to nearly 140 million taels."

"In addition, Xishan Jianye has amazing returns, because of the influx of population, Xishan Coal Industry, Xishan Steel... These are industries where His Majesty has a lot of share. Now, the profits are extremely rich and objective. I can predict that in just a few months, the dividend income of the inner warehouse has increased by at least 50%. This million people have begun to have a job slowly. In the future, they still need food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital. My son dares to use the heads to guarantee that the future profits will be even more considerable."
