    Emperor Hongzhi was going crazy with anxiety, pacing back and forth in the hall.

    This is all agreed upon.

    Originally, I thought that I could safely let Fang Jifan do the work.

    Who would have expected that Fang Jifan would send out three thousand Confucian scholars at once, and it was said that he would not pay for it.

    Of course, money is the next thing.

    But he actually gave away three thousand Confucian scholars for free!

    Three thousand Confucian scholars

    Emperor Hongzhi became uneasy for a moment.

    ??This Fang Jifan is not a mentally ill criminal.

    Waiting left and right, Fang Jifan did not come.

    This made Emperor Hongzhi even more anxious.

    With great difficulty, Fang Jifan rushed over out of breath. Emperor Hongzhi's resentment was all gone at this moment.

    I was complaining in my heart, but seeing that Fang Jifan was panting like an ox, and thinking that this guy was devoted to him, and now that he heard his summons, he was so interested, most likely he ran all the way into the palace, Emperor Hongzhi felt more.  I felt guilty, wondering if I was being too harsh.

    Xiao Jing stood aside with an expressionless face. As an eunuch, Xiao Jing knew these little tricks best.

    Fang Jifan was even out of breath and quickly saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

    "My son"

    Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I heard that the successor vassal has negotiated with the Ottoman prince?"

    "Reporting to the emperor, we have already negotiated." Fang Jifan took a breath at this moment and replied with a serious face: "My son and I had a great conversation with him. This Ottoman prince really has a strange and unusual skeleton."

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face sank and he stared at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

    "Unusual? Did the successor agree to send him three thousand Confucian scholars?"

    "If he still feels it's not enough, I think I don't mind giving him more."

    This is a specialty of the Ming Dynasty. I don¡¯t know how much is made every year, and I can get as much as I want. This is what Fang Jifan thinks.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face dropped: ¡°It is said that the Ottoman prince promised gold and silver, but the successor refused to accept it.¡±

    "Your Majesty, this is not a business, people are priceless." Fang Jifan wailed.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes widened, but he didn¡¯t know what to say.  In the end, he still lost his temper. After all, there were no outsiders here: "That's not what you said at the beginning."

    "Your Majesty." Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I have also negotiated with Prince Suleiman about trade on the road. I have thought about building a caravan to go to the Ottomans, and even  The Ottoman Mediterranean port imported goods to Venice and sent them to North Africa and even Italy."

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "That's all?"

    "Your Majesty will take the majority of this caravan, and your sons and daughters will take the small part. From now on, we will put it on the market together."

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face changed slightly, and he became a little more interested: ¡°Continue talking.¡±

    "After the listing, we will send out the caravan and we will definitely get a lot of profits. In the early stage, the stock price may only rise slightly and the profit will be huge, but I estimate that after a period of time, there will be a possibility of skyrocketing."

    "The possibility of a sudden increase?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be very interested: "Let's talk about it."

    "Your Majesty, think about it, let's send some great Confucian scholars. If these Confucian scholars gain a foothold in Ottoman, and His Highness Suleiman inherits the legacy of Ottoman's ancestors, won't they become favorites?"

    "Once they become a favorite, or someone becomes a feudal official, won't they have a lot of money?"

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "How do you know they will have a lot of money?"

    "This" Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "In the Ming Dynasty, they did the same thing."

    "Really?" Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious: "Keep talking."

    "The so-called cunning rabbits and three caves, after all, they are officials outside, and they are not at ease after all. They have to find ways to transport money to their hometown. So, what do they use? Of course, it is the caravan. They use the caravan to transport these  Gold and silver will become legal treasures. In this way, the caravan will make huge profits. At that time, the profits of the caravan will skyrocket. Your Majesty, what do you think its stock price will be like? "

    "For the Ottomans, your majesty showed generosity. He didn't take any money, and trade also deepened the exchanges between the two countries. And for those Confucian scholars, it was not a bad result. Your majesty gave them a place to use themselves. This is the best of both worlds.The most outstanding Confucians, disciples and former officials, are all over the world.

    Although he is just a scholar, his articles and his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics have been admired by countless people.

    Now his disciples are visiting one after another, hoping that his mentor can take him to the Hanlin Academy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It would be a pity not to go.

    ¡°It would be great if His Majesty happens to value his mentor.

    "Sir, now the whole Jiangbei Shilin is rumored about this. Some Confucian scholars in Shandong and Shanxi have also started to leave. If you don't go, sir, a great talent, your pearl will fall into dust. What's more, the current emperor prefers to believe in the Academy of Sciences. If things go on like this,  , There is no such thing as benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and justice in this world. Sir, please think of the common people and go to the Hanlin Academy. I and my disciples will be honored."

    Chen Jingye looked at these disciples with a smile.

    The newshe had heard about it a long time ago.

    "It's a lie to say he doesn't want to go, but he is not an ordinary Confucian scholar. He cannot agree to this kind of thing easily. Otherwise, it would be too low of self-esteem.

    He shook his head: "I don't want to worry about worldly matters. Why don't we just concentrate on reading scriptures and history?"

    "Sir" The disciples knelt on the ground, tears pouring down: "Sir, if you don't come out of the mountain, what will happen to the people?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
