Emperor Hongzhi looked embarrassed when he heard Zhang Sheng’s question.

So he said, "I am asking about this matter. Master Wang is not forced by someone to raise pigs. He is willing to raise them. So what can I do?"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he was anxious.

This is Wang Ao.

Will he take the initiative to raise pigs?

If it weren't for some reason, how could it be done like this?

In fact, the ministers in this palace all knew that this matter was inseparable from Fang Jifan. His Majesty wanted to protect Fang Jifan. Therefore, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, but I heard some rumors that this matter was related to the Duke of Qi. The prince was so angry that he raised pigs."

Emperor Hongzhi sank his eyebrows: "Is there any real evidence?"

"The prince must feel wronged in his heart. Your Majesty will be able to find out the truth as soon as he asks."

Emperor Hongzhi will be unable to get out of Taiwan now.

Zhang Sheng asked urgently, and most of the other old ministers had the same idea as him.

This is so nonsense.

The Taifu, who was the master of the scholar, fell into such a field and everyone would retire in the future.

Even Xie Qian couldn't help but say, "Yes, Your Majesty might as well call the prince and the prince to come, you will know it once you ask."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a difficult situation.

Instead, he didn't know how to face Wang Ao, let alone Wang Ao said something seriously.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi silent, Zhang Sheng said sadly: "When the prince was there, he was so loyal to Your Majesty. I remember that in the third year of Hongzhi, there was a severe drought in the northwest, and Your Majesty was anxious. But the prince happened to be cold at that time. He was afraid that there was no one around him to help him, and he was sick and still on duty. He gritted his teeth and insisted on doing it. Your Majesty... Have you forgotten? The prince is noble and honest,

It can be said that he has received the kindness of Your Majesty, but what kind of grace did the prince get? He is dedicated to serving the court and serving Your Majesty. Now that he is old, it is useless. Should he be treated like this? The Duke of Qi has made great contributions and is also Your Majesty's son-in-law. Speaking of which, the old minister also admires Duke of Qi very much, but Your Majesty, some things are right or wrong, and it is wrong to correct them when you know the mistake, which is great..."

Zhang Sheng said, his eyes were red.

His relationship with Wang Ao has always been good.

He couldn't bear to see Wang Ao in the pigpen, but he had also visited the Wang family, so he cried and said, "I went to the Wang family a few days ago and saw that the Wang family was barely barred. Sun Wang Jian actually needed to go out to do an account for others so that the family could have food and clothing. The eldest son was already an official, but he was also honest and self-disciplined. This is the loyal and kindness of the family... "

These words finally aroused Emperor Hongzhi's feelings towards Wang Ao.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel sad, and he couldn't help but say: "This matter..."

Just as he was talking about this, an eunuch came hurriedly outside.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the eunuch with displeasure.

This eunuch is so eyebrow-free.

What should I report at this time?

Of course, this is no wonder this little eunuch. After all, Emperor Hongzhi once explained that if something happened in the exchange, he would report it at any time.

After all, this exchange is of great importance. Not to mention that most of the treasury is maintained by the stock index in the exchange, and any turmoil may affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

Emperor Hongzhi calmed down and stared at the eunuch.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, there has been a big incident on the exchange today. I feel that something is going on, so I will report it."

Zhang Sheng and others had just raised hope, but were interrupted by the eunuch and inevitably showed a cold look to the eunuch.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him unhappily and said, "Tell me."

The eunuch said: "Recently, there is a new stock for animal husbandry. The stock price is extremely rare. In just a few hours, it actually went from thirteen taels of silver per share to more than thirty taels of silver. I heard that their principal was only 300,000 taels of silver at the beginning. The exchange's valuation was already high. Who would have expected that this listing would skyrocket... "

Animal Husbandry...

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Then... my heart suddenly felt a little hurt.

It's soaring?

If I had known this, the palace would have been given some.

"What is the current valuation of the principal of 300,000 silver?"

The eunuch said: "It has soared by dozens of times, nearly four million taels. Looking at this trend, there is no possibility of an increase in the future."

If you have something to do, you will naturally have something to do.

Now, no one in the palace knows about industrial and commercial news.

"Why is this stock like this? Is there anything strange?"

The eunuch said: "I heard that a strange pig farmer named Zhou Tanzhi came out."

Zhou Tanzhi...

Emperor Hongzhi had some impressions.

He frowned and tried hard to recall the memories.

"This person is the disciple of the Taifu Wang Ao. I heard that he had learned many secret techniques for raising pigs with the prince. The pigs he raised were really good. Not only was the cost of employed, but the meat yield rate was much higher than that of other farmers. Now, the people's requirements for meat are getting higher and higher, saying that the future prospects are broad and there is great potential. Therefore... someone spent money to start a pig farm and invited Zhou Tanzhi to go. He also heard that Zhou Tanzhi was worth 20% of his dry shares."

Zhou Tanzhi...Wang Ao...

The hall suddenly became quiet.

At this time, the monarch and ministers recalled who came this Zhou Tanzhi.

Isn’t this person the Minister of Rites in Nanjing who was punished to raise pigs?

And he is Wang Ao's disciple.

Wang Ao is indeed raising pigs now.

So...

The monarch and his subjects looked at each other.

"Twenty percent..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "This is nearly one million taels of silver. I ordered Zhou Tanzhi to raise pigs, but he actually... became rich overnight by raising pigs."

Emperor Hongzhi's expression was a little complicated, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Sheng: "Zhang Qing's family, what do you think?"

Zhang Sheng was stunned: "Your Majesty...this...this..."

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

You say they are pitiful, but... they are pitiful.

The wealth they earn in just a few months is worth the lifelong efforts of you, Zhang Sheng.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "It's interesting, very interesting. When I saw Zhou Tanzhi last time, I hated him very much. I never expected that this person was not a good person. All the ministers must have complained about me these days, saying that I am not a righteous person, but my family, I am a kind and righteous person? You want to ask me to summon Wang Qing's family to understand, that's so good, I just happened to ask, too, I also want to ask, so as not to tell me the right and wrong of me. If someone comes, I will go and see Master Wang in person, and ask the prince in front of the family, what secret methods does he have for raising pigs?"

Zhang Sheng: "..."

The rest of the people were also in a state of uproar.

They kept reminding themselves that how could the prince be such a person? No, no, no, no, absolutely no, he has always been innocent and absolutely impossible.

Emperor Hongzhi was very excited, Wang Ao was the leader of the Qingliu and had an extraordinary status. If he could raise pigs, then... why could other scholars not take care of other careers?

Understood……

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt enlightened.

No wonder Fang Jifan has been insisting on it and refused to submit.

It turned out that he had made up this plan.

It is to let Master Wang set an example for the world.

This little clever ghost!

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood and wanted to go and see what Master Wang said by the way.

……………………

West Mountain.

A luxurious carriage arrived at the pigpen.

The person who got off the bus was Gu.

When Gu got out of the car and looked at the pigpen again, he seemed to feel like he was a different life.

Zhou Tanzhi was adjusting pig food in the circle. When he saw Gu, he threw away the bucket in his hand, then washed his hands, and then rushed over: "Why are you here again?"

He didn't like Gu's coming here, and he didn't want Gu to see his miserable appearance.

But he looked up and down at Gu, but was startled: "You... you are afraid that you are valuable and you have this carriage."

"Husband." Gu cried with joy and said, "I came early this morning, saying that my husband is worth one million yuan now. This million is not copper coins, but silver. He said that my husband raised pigs and became the top scholar. In order to reward his husband, there was a Dong family named Liu who personally sent someone to go to the house to handle the procedures. He said that his family had a few acres of mansion on Hebei Street in Xincheng, which was transferred to us at a cheap price. He also said that he would let me live for the time being. Not only that, but also seven or eight servants were missing, including a chef and a coachman. He also said that they are trying their best to find a way to get a quota for admission to Xishan Academy. Our two children have studied in the past and have a foundation. If they want to go to Xishan, it is easy to handle. The Liu family once donated a study in Xishan Academy and spent more than 100,000 taels of silver. There is still a thin face."

There was so much more at once, and Zhou Tanzhi felt dizzy when he heard it.

Could it be that Liu Wenzhi?

But... this gift is too thick.

At this time, Gu said again: "I was scared when I heard this. How could I ask for these things easily? I was afraid that these things would be taken away and ruined my husband's reputation. Therefore, I only said that I had to report it to my husband before I said it. Then the people of the Liu family rushed to me. Husband, they also said that this workshop was the master of the husband. The workshop was listed and the market value increased tenfold. My husband had 20% of the stocks. Now his wealth has increased tenfold. He will not worry about food and clothing, and he has countless wealth. Is this true? "
