Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 988 Unfortunate family

  Wang Bushi was in the crowd, looking into the distance, a group of craftsmen began to install the rails in a hurry.

  The thick rails are obviously made of steel, and they look heavy.

  His face was filled with horror...this...was almost paving the way with gold.

  If it weren't for Xishan, the whole world would not have such financial resources and such ambitions to do such things.

  He could even see His Highness the Crown Prince wearing a rattan hat and Fang Jifan, surrounded by a group of guards, pointing and pointing.

  Wang Bushi raised his head and looked at the roadbed. The roadbed has been extending towards the direction of the old city!

I see…

  Wang Bushi has always been aware that housing prices and land prices in the old city may rise, and the current short selling is obviously prepared for skyrocketing.

  Of course, all of this is derived from the judgment in The Wealth of Nations.

  But how did the housing prices in this old city rise...he couldn't tell.

  But now...he suddenly came back to his senses.

  Maybe... that's why!

  The freezing point of housing prices in the old city has reached.

  As early as January, he used his house in Xincheng as a mortgage, borrowed money from Xishan Bank, and sued relatives and friends for more than two hundred thousand taels of silver. Now... it's time.

  He was shocked, but he didn't show any signs of expression. He returned to his car from the crowd. He didn't say a word, his face was slightly pale.

   This investment is obviously to put all one's wealth into it. This is by no means a fun thing. If you are not careful, you may go bankrupt, and you may even have to bear huge debts.

But…

  He believed in himself, in his own judgment.

  In this terrible world, no one can be trusted. Fang Jifan, who made himself the laughing stock of the world, and his disciples, as well as those Qingliu who caused outright hatred because of their own careless gaffes.

  The only person you can trust is yourself!

Fight!

   He gritted his teeth and told the coachman, "Go to the old city!"

  Nowadays, the housing prices in the old city are not much different from those in the urban areas of Dingxing County.

   Hardly worth much.

As more and more people arrive in the new city, the inner city has begun to become barren, while the real estate and land in the outer city are not worth much. Many poor people rely on the rich and noble families in the inner city for their livelihood. The rich and noble people have left, so they... have to obediently pour into the new city.

  Thus, more than 200,000 taels of silver may be bought in the new city for only ten acres of land, but in the old city, it is as easy as buying vegetables.

  That large stretch of barren land, I don’t know how many people want to sell it, but they can’t get it.

  ...

   "Master..."

  Wang Jinyuan seemed a little excited, he hurriedly found Fang Jifan: "Master, something is wrong."

   "What happened?" Fang Jifan was obviously in a bad mood.

  The people were arrested and paraded through the streets for two days, and the effect was not bad. This discouraged those who thought about the idea of ​​the railway track. Coupled with the organization of the road guard team, the railway track was laid very quickly.

  After all... Manpower, it’s a matter of grasping. Fang Jifan has money, and there are so many people who have been taken advantage of in the world. If you support yourself, there is nothing in the world that you can’t do.

   "The land and houses in the old city were suddenly acquired by someone, and I don't know who it is. Hundreds of acres have been confiscated."

   "What." Fang Jifan was taken aback.

  In his hands, there are a lot of real estate and land in the old city, but Fang Jifan is not in a hurry to buy them, because if he collects too much, it will inevitably be noticed by others.

  So in the past few months, things have been moistened silently, and there is no rush anyway.

  Can now...

Fang Jifan was a little confused: "Wang Jinyuan, you son of a bitch, did you leak the news that my young master treats you well, but you have such guts? Very well, someone, hang this dog-like thing up!" stand up."

  Wang Jinyuan...crying.

With a thud, he fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Young master, the loyalty of the villain to you can be learned from the sun. The young master has an upright character, so the villain doesn't know, isn't the villain afraid of death? There are old and inferior people in the villain. How dare you do such a thing, young master Mingjian!"

  Fang Jifan rested his chin, and after listening to his words, he actually felt quite reasonable. It was strange to say that the people around him were all loyal to him. Could it be... this is the legendary leadership personality, the so-called leadership temperament?

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "Find out this dog, and buy it on a large scale immediately. Now we have hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the inner city, outer city, and along the railway line. I'm not afraid. We can collect it now." How much is how much... Over there, it’s just buying thousands of acres, it’s nothing, let him take it, don’t let me know who this person is, how do you know the news, if you know, I will treat him to eat Malatang!"

  Wang Jinyuan shivered subconsciously, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves: "Understood, I understand, the villain will do it now."

  ...

  The road is going to be built.

   This road is actually going to the old city.

  The entire capital was in an uproar.

  What is the surname Fang doing? Listen...it seems to have a bad feeling.

  Many people came to the railway track to watch it in person. The railway track actually went through the entire new city, and then went straight towards the old city.

   "This road is connected, and the land price in the old city has risen."

"No, you don't know that. The land price in Dingxing County has skyrocketed, which is justifiable. It was originally a small county town, and the land price was worthless. Now the road has suddenly been built, so it has risen. But the old Even if the land price in the city has plummeted, after all, it is also the capital. Although the land price has plummeted these days, the land price is still not lower than that in Dingxing County now. Therefore, although road construction alone can stabilize the land price in the old city, But it’s difficult to go up, big guy, it’s too late to move out. Besides, have you ever seen such a narrow road? It’s only as wide as a carriage, but... why are there two lanes? But no matter what, it is still far from Dingxing County. You guys are crazy about buying land. You really think that any land is worth money. Speaking of which, this great fine iron is laid on this land , I feel sad when I see it, I really want to pick up a few and take them home."

   "Bah, bah, be careful of thick sores all over your body."

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi was dressed in casual clothes.

  He looked incredible.

  First, he read Jin Yiwei's report.

  Put iron on the ground, what is this for?

   Moreover, looking at this posture, this is a road that is tens of miles from the new city to the old city.

   No matter how you listen, it sounds like Jin Yiwei is playing tricks.

  But...Liu Jian was actually in front of him. Speaking of this matter, Liu Qing's family still saw it with their own eyes. It's a great fine iron, it looks like it's first-class, so it seems like you don't need money...

   All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused.

  What are these two guys going to do.

  They can't be so stupid.

  Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi thought of a man named Shi Chong. During the Western Jin Dynasty, this man was once rich as an enemy. Wang Kai washed the pot with sugar water after dinner, and Shi Chong used candles as firewood; Wang Kai made a purple silk cloth barrier for ten miles, and Shi Chong made a brocade barrier for fifty miles; Just use pepper...

  Shi Chong used brocade cloth to make barriers for fifty miles. Isn't this the same reason as his stupid son and son-in-law used refined iron to pave the road?

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't figure out whether these two guys were eating enough to support themselves, or they had some kind of plot.

  He felt uneasy.

   Think about how frugal you are.

  The clothes worn in the palace were all woven by Empress Zhang herself on looms. For the usual imperial meal, I open my belly, for fear that there will be leftovers. How could such a stupid son be born?

  He still didn't believe it, and decided that seeing is believing.

  So he wore plain clothes, took Xiao Jing, and countless other guards in plain clothes, out of Daming Palace.

This railway track... was laid not far from the entrance of the Daming Palace. Looking at the metal railway that reflected the halo under the sun, and it continued to grow, Emperor Hongzhi still took a bit of luck, slowly walked forward and approached. Yes, at first glance, it is really a rail... The rail is firmly fixed in the sleepers, and on the sleepers, there is still a roadbed made of a pile of gravel.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt a little dizzy. He walked along the railway all the way, and the more he walked, the more frightened he became. The railway seemed to have no end.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a breath, and suddenly said: "Xiao Banban...what do you think..."

   When Xiao Jing heard this, his face turned pale with fright.

  He hurriedly lay down on the rails, bent his fingers, knocked, clang...the rails echoed slightly.

   Very porcelain.

  He touched it again, the surface of the rail was very smooth.

  But...Xiao Jing really didn't know how to look at it.

  We know everything if we want to do something wrong, why do we have to kill off children and grandchildren?

But these days, he was so scolded by Emperor Hongzhi that he couldn't lift his head up. His face was pale. After thinking about it, he still didn't understand. He simply continued to lie on his stomach, stuck out his tongue, and licked the rails. There is a little bit of sweetness...

"what are you doing?"

   "Slave... the unity of knowledge and action." Xiao Jing smiled wryly.

  ‘Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

  He already felt that this guy Xiao Jing... was hopeless.

  Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Although you are my private slave, your words and deeds also represent the majesty of the royal family. What are you doing like this!"

  Xiao Jing bowed his head...not saying a word.

  In the distance, there were a few spectators who saw Xiao Jing licking the railway tracks.

  Those spectators looked shocked, as if... they also felt that there was some infinite mystery in this railroad track.

  They discussed in low voices, and one of them got down on the ground and licked it: "Don't say it, it's sweet."

   Several other people got down on the ground one after another and started to lick it too. Someone said: "Could it be that this rail is for licking?"

   "No, it's clearly extravagant, hey, I heard...His Royal Highness...cough cough..."

  The words at the back are even smaller.

  A group of imperial guards, all of them looked cold, and then looked at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was livid, and he flicked his sleeves: "The family is unfortunate!"
