Seeing Fang Jifan being honest, Zhu Houzhao felt that what the emperor made was quite interesting.

He raised his eyebrows and continued, "This second point is that I think that it is a good idea to summon the princes and nobles of the North Korean Kingdom and the Japanese kingdom to Beijing to settle the house. I want to attract the princes and grandchildren from all over the world to come here. Anyone who doesn't come is considered a serious crime. I've come... Let them live in the capital well. I've thought about it and painted the land for them. Come, come, come, come, Liu Jin... You guys, come, come, come."

Liu Jin smiled and immediately took the map.

Fang Jifan actually doesn’t need to look at it. You can guess at any thought that the place where this place is located is around the land that Zhu Houzhao bought.

So he pretended to look at it and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this place is good, this place is great. It is just a road away from the new city. It is both pure and surrounding the new city. Look, we cannot treat the nobles and grandchildren of various countries badly. Should we build a theater nearby? I think so, let them listen to opera more and appreciate the culture of our country. With a theater, it is necessary to build a square. The bigger the square, the better. In this way, the atmosphere of my Ming Dynasty will be revealed. But if there is a square, it is impossible to build a steam bus station. If the station is built, I am afraid that the nearby roads will also need to be repaired. I think it will take at least eight lanes and eight carriages cannot be combined.

Will it be weaker to take off my majestic power? Also, here, I think I need to set up a college, so I can use the top Xishan Meng Academy to run the school together. The princes and nobles also have children. If they don’t let them study, how can they educate them? And here... this stinky ditch... No, this river is good, like a jade belt. Repair it here, build a long dike, set up trails on both sides, plant willow trees on the trails, and plant green plants and flowers nearby. In this way, it will be even more impressive. Here... And here... there... there is a big merchant and open a department store. People always need food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is also my way of hospitality in the Ming Dynasty. It is a saying that friends come from afar..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at the rice, her eyes straightened.

Lao Fang knows a lot, and he is clearly thinking about this, but when he speaks it from Lao Fang, the taste is different.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "That's what I mean, Lao Fang, we coincide with each other. No wonder my father asked you to enter the cabinet, haha... I did it like that. I won't mention this matter. Go back to the cabinet and draft a memorial. No, I can't let you mention it, otherwise others would think it was my instructed. Just find a disciple to report it. When the memorial arrives in the cabinet, you come to the cabinet and write a memorial, and you will say that this is a good idea. Then the ticket is to be sent to me. I personally comment on it, and you will speed up the work. Alas... I'm worried about these nobles and grandchildren, Oh, by the way, Lao Fang, you have arranged so many good things. If you build a little mansion nearby, what price can you sell?"

Fang Jifan coughed: "This... is hard to say, Your Majesty... the focus is on resettling the nobles of the princes and grandchildren, including these people in the capital, so as not to cause them to cause rebellion in various places, and they can also strengthen control over the vassal states. This is a move that benefits the country and the people, and is related to the national strategy."

Zhu Houzhao's face turned slightly red, and she carried her hands behind her back, imitating her father's usual appearance, regaining her dignified appearance, pretending to be light and nodding: "Yes, yes, Lao Fang is a minister who plans the country."

Zhu Houzhao immediately said, "Okay, what we need to do now is these two things. The second one is easy, but the first one... we need to immediately order the people from the Engineering College to go to the states in the world for exploration, and quickly formulate a railway charter for the completion of the railway. There must be railways in the southeast, west and north. I will build the railway to Liaodong, Jiangnan, and Lanzhou. I will first pass through these. As long as it is repaired, if I want to attack the deceased, it will be much easier. In the future... these railways can be extended..."

"Your Majesty..." Fang Jifan interrupted Zhu Houzhao: "This is a railway line of thousands of miles. Not to mention the difficulty of the engineering, the Engineering College has accumulated a lot of experience over the years. The technical difficulties can still be met. The key to the problem is, where does the silver come from? These are all railway tracks. With so many iron lumps, the cost of one mile is hundreds or thousands of taels of silver..."

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "You can raise funds. At the beginning, the railway between Baoding and the capital..."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "This is different. Baoding and the capital, one is that the railway line is not long, and the investment is a minority. On the other hand, this railway line is in a prosperous place, so everyone thinks it is profitable. But if this thousands of miles of railway is different, the construction cost is too high, and many places are not worth much. I am afraid that no one is willing to spend this unjust money. If the money is invested, the capital will be recovered."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he felt it was reasonable. He had ambitions in his heart and wanted to implement all his plans overnight.

Everyone knows that railways are good things, but this thing is slow to take effect after all. If it is a railway from the capital to Tianjin, some people will rush to build it, but what if it is to go to Lanzhou and Liaodong? But this... after all, it is a place in Tianjin. Not to mention, there are countless minerals there that can be easily transported. Will the people in Liaodong and outside the pass give up?

Zhu Houzhao said: "How about this palace go back and check the treasury?"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is not much silver in the treasury. Even if there is one, the emperor will probably need to use it to get to the Golden Continent..."

Speaking of the emperor, Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh, and he immediately cheered up again.

The emperor today is very aggressive and enterprising. In ordinary people's words, it is radical.

But many times, there is nothing wrong with radicalism, after all... the railway will need to be built sooner or later.

Once the railway is completed, there is no need to mention the benefits of commerce and trade, and it also has great benefits for the military.

If someone came to invade the Hexi Corridor at this time, in the past, the court would have to prepare a 100,000 army to set out from the capital and head to Hexi. The food and drink along the way and the time required for the march would last for a long time. When the reinforcements arrived, the daylily would be cold.

But if there is a railway, a large amount of materials and official troops can be mobilized immediately, and within one month, they can be quickly put into battle thousands of miles away. What this changes is the form of the entire war.

Even... this is extremely beneficial to the imperial court to control the local area.

Everyone knows that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It sometimes takes several months or even half a year for an official to take office in a certain place. If something happens there and the news is sent to the capital, it has been a month since the news has been sent to the capital. But once the railway is completed, the court can quickly learn about the local problems, which is equivalent to... The railway is connected to the emperor.

Economics, administration, and military aspects will all bring about earth-shaking changes, so... Fang Jifan is a major in the practice, the earlier the better.

Zhu Houzhao frowned. He looked very impatient, but when he heard the difficulties, he couldn't help but get angry. This is his temper, an impatient person.

So he continued, "Lao Fang, do you think of a way, why don't you borrow money from the money house?"

"Borrowing is not impossible, but the problem is that first of all, the court must have a banknote. Otherwise, it depends entirely on the bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's bank's banknotes are only for depositors. How can they withdraw so much silver? Once the treasure banknotes are printed too much, it will inevitably lead to the depreciation of the treasure banknotes. Your Majesty, this is not a long-term solution."

Now that the identities are different, everything you do is responsible to many people. Fang Jifan tried his best to analyze the pros and cons for him.

"No matter what!" Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth: "You need to think of a solution. This is the first thing I have done since I ascended the throne. If it is not done well, how can I convince the public? You have just entered the cabinet. The so-called new official takes office for three reasons. Lao Fang, think of a solution. If it can be done, I will never treat you badly."

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Majesty, the solution is not without... Your Majesty said that you should raise funds, so just recruit funds. The key point of the problem is that whoever has so much money will be willing to take it out."

"This..." Zhu Houzhao was embarrassed again.

Even if it is the treasury, the real money and silver that can be taken out is limited. There are many industries in the West Mountain, so Fang Jifan can of course take out a part, but after all... Compared to Zhu Houzhao's grand career, it is still limited. Needless to say, the silver in the treasury is fixed, and it is not possible to take out for the time being.

As for those merchants, aren’t they expanding production like crazy now? They are still worried that there is not enough money.

But the question is, who else in this world can afford to pay so much money?

Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, I can give it a try."

"Hmm?" Zhu Houzhao held his chin. At this time, he had to admire Fang Jifan.

You just have the most ideas.

…………

Many ministers began to feel restless after the ceremony.

The next day, I heard that the list of emperors has begun to be released.

The residences of each family sent their servants to check the list.

There were as many as a thousand ministers who followed this time.

Even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet... there are, such as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Xie Qian, who is among them. Obviously, His Majesty still hopes to keep Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to assist the new emperor.

As for the ministers of various departments, as well as the Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Hanlin Academy, and Censorate... these yamen were actually taken away by half.

"Master...Master..." Someone came back with a crying voice.

Liu Jing, the minister of Taichang Temple, was directly sick today. He was too lazy to go on duty and was waiting for the news at home in a restless mood. When he heard the voice of his old servant, his heart skipped a beat and saw the old servant snatching up and bowing to the ground.

Liu Jing suddenly started to tremble: "How...How..." His lips trembled.

Sitting beside him was his two sons, and he also looked uneasy.

His eldest son was lucky and was a Juren. He was also famous. In addition, Liu Jing was a minister of Taichang Temple. After his operation, he is now on duty in the Ministry of Works.

As for the second son... he is idle, but with the protection of his father and brother, he will naturally have no worries about food and clothing.

"The names of the master and the eldest master... are on the list. Within half a month, if you clean up your family, those who violate the violations will be punished as deceiving the emperor, and the disaster will be the whole family!"
