Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 817 Get rich overnight (ask for a monthly pass!)

   Is this going to break your leg?

   Ma Wensheng's face was miserable.

   Yes, I have to go.

  He left the Ministry of War without saying a word.

  There is a great feeling, the wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.

  …

   This official in Beijing really can't stand it.

   Not to mention being a civil servant, even Zhang Mao couldn't stand it. Every now and then I have to see the driver, and I have to go to the imperial tomb, non-stop, dizzy.

  Officials don't have a good time.

   In fact, Liu Jian and the others are better off. Although they can't go home, they live comfortably in Wenyuan Pavilion. It's just that other people can't stand it anymore.

  …

  Suddenly, there were rumors in the market that the imperial court intended to build a government office near the Daming Palace.

  In fact, Emperor Hongzhi has already started discussing this matter with Liu Jian and others.

  Emperor Hongzhi's concern is justified.

   The Daming Palace has spent so much money, can it not stay in the future?

   Besides, the Empress Dowager is still here, and for many years to come, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave her.

  I am a diligent emperor, it is impossible not to ask about world affairs, but as long as I ask, even if it is a matter, the cabinet ministers need to come to see him at any time, and the cabinet ministers need the coordination of all ministries to get things done.

this…

  Emperor Hongzhi sat comfortably in Fengtian Hall.

  He likes it here, it's warm, comfortable, with a good view, and most importantly, bright.

   This pure gold imperial chair is quite upscale. Suddenly, he also began to dislike the imperial chair in the Forbidden City.

   All three of Liu Jian were there.

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were also there.

  Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "For the construction of the six ministries and the government offices of various temples, Fang Jifan can no longer pay for the money. I am sorry."

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty is looking down on my minister. It's a big deal for me. If you sell the coal mine in Xishan, you can always raise money."

  Zhu Houzhao also looked pitiful: "Your minister can also sell... the East Palace?"

  Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao as if he was mentally retarded, a follower worse than a dog!

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao.

But with a slight smile, he looked at Liu Jian: "Liu Qing's family, let's do it this way. Fang Jifan is still responsible for the construction. Fang Jifan will preside over how to build various government offices. But as for the money, the treasury will provide some. Let us pay some money, let's get things done together, what do you think?"

  Liu Jian thought in his heart, now there are complaints, since the emperor can't do without, what else can he do, he can only wrong his courtiers, he nodded: "But I don't know how much food will cost?"

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "This, this, I can't figure it out for the time being, but there are so many government offices with more than one million silver tattoos, so it is necessary."

  Liu Jian was in great pain, and looked at Li Dongyang.

  Li Dongyang smiled wryly: "Come and try your best."

  Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

  He was more and more reluctant to leave here, living here is good, even his body feels better, especially seeing that the Empress Dowager is satisfied with this, as a descendant, he is naturally happy.

"That's it. The Forbidden City has existed for a hundred years, and there are too many places to be repaired. Now, the Daming Palace has been built, and the money spent is hundreds of millions. How can such a lot of money be wasted. I will let it go." The purpose is to plan and build an official office in the Daming Palace for immediate needs."

   After saying a word, Emperor Hongzhi planned to leave.

  At least...my future days will depend on this Daming Palace.

  Liu Jian and the three bowed down: "The minister waits...obey the order."

  Only Li Dongyang suddenly noticed something, thoughtfully, and then glanced at Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao.

   No way, they are so dark? Did I think too deeply and misunderstood them?

   Is it a misunderstanding? Just check it out in private.

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "As long as the father is willing to give the money, it must be worth the money. Please rest assured, the father will hand over the money to the son and Fang Jifan. The son and Fang Jifan will definitely repair these various government offices like the palace. , We built a business in Xishan and built the Daming Palace, which is very famous."

  Xishan Jianye?

  Emperor Hongzhi was at a loss.

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "No, no, no, it is definitely not the same as the Daming Palace, it must be worse than the Daming Palace, this is too presumptuous, too presumptuous."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, sighed and said, "Jifan, Jifan, you gave me a great gift, but also brought me a little trouble. I don't mean to blame you. In this world, there are always You can only gain if you give up, okay, let’s do it like this. Order!"

  Fang Jifan is gearing up.

  As a conscientious contractor, I, Fang Jifan, entrusted me with the construction of this official office.

   Coming out of Fengtian Hall, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao came out together, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Old Fang, are you going to get rich, are you going to get rich?"

  Fang Jifan looked calm: "Your Highness, don't always talk about money, it's too vulgar."

  Zhu Houzhao touched his heart excitedly, and said bouncingly: "It seems that you are going to get rich. As soon as I see that you don't talk about money, I know that you are going to get rich."

  Fang Jifan sighed: "It's too early to talk about getting rich. What we are talking about now is conscience!"

   "What do you mean?"

"Our Xishan Jianye, what is the relationship between building a house? It is the well-being of the people. If the house is not built well, the water will leak today and the tiles will fall tomorrow. Think about it, wouldn't we be infamous forever? So ah , now don’t talk about money all the time, and focus on how to keep improving.”

  Zhu Houzhao nodded as the chicken pecked at the rice.

  …

  Wang Bushi has moved.

  The Bell and Drum Tower is actually not a good location, but it belongs to the inner city after all. It is a house with two entrances and two exits. The house is a bit dilapidated. After repairs, it barely looks like it.

   This is the only time Wang Bushi is happy in these years.

  He took his son Wang Jianye with him, and the two were at the gate, waiting for the guests to come.

  But I waited and waited, but I didn't see anyone.

   This made Wang Bushi very annoyed.

   Don't give face.

  Anyway, he is also a Hanlin attendant.

   Isn’t this going to force me to impeach you next time?

   Today is Muxiu, logically speaking, everyone is free.

  Wang Bushi vomited blood and returned to the main hall of the new house angrily.

  It’s all good, I bought so many good houses by myself, and it only cost seven or eight thousand taels.

  He sat down, took a sip of tea, and Wang Jianye sat aside: "How about, son, go and ask."

   "No need." Wang Bushi said with a gloomy face, "Whether love comes or not, you can't force others to do it. If you don't know, I think it's rare for me to come."

"Oh."

  At this time, Menzi came in: "Master, Master, Dongcheng Liu's family is here."

  Dong Liu’s family...

Wang Bushi squinted his eyes. He knew this person very well. When Wang Bushi wanted to buy a house, he even took a fancy to a house that belonged to Liu Dong’s family. Unfortunately, the price was not agreed upon, and the other party killed him and said there The location is even better, and it costs 13,000 taels. Wang Bushi was a little reluctant, so he didn't contact him.

  That's why I chose the current room.

  What is Mr. Liu going to do here?

"please come in."

  Liu Dong's family came, and when he saw Wang Bushi, he hurriedly saluted: "I met Wang Shidu, Wang Shidu, how are you doing?"

  Wang Bushi's face softened a little: "Come, please sit down. If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall, but I don't know, Liu Dong's family, what's the matter?"

  Speaking of it, everyone really doesn’t have much friendship. Wang Bushi even looked down on this Dong Liu’s family. If he hadn’t taken a fancy to his house at the beginning, he wouldn’t even bother to talk to such a person.

  Wang Bushi said with a smile: "The villain is here, just want to ask something, I don't know if Wang Shidu is still interested in the previous house?"

  Wang Bushi is happy. You must be sick. The old man has already bought a new house. At the beginning, you killed 13,500 taels and refused to sell it. After the old man bought the house, you still come to ask.

  However, he clearly felt that Dong Liu's face was a little anxious.

   "Oh? Dong Liu's house, your house is too expensive. At the beginning, the old man said it was 11,000 taels, so I bought it, eh..."

   Liu Dongjia immediately said: "Then eleven thousand taels, do you still want to buy it now?"

   "..." Wang Bushi had a strange look on his face. At the beginning, this guy was very firm, but why did he change in a blink of an eye...

  Seeing that Wang Bushi remained silent, Dong Liu asked, "How about ten thousand taels?"

  He saw Wang Bushi dumbfounded, but Liu Dong's family almost cried: "Eight thousand, eight thousand taels, the deal can be done immediately."

  Wang Bushi's heart was filled with ten thousand muddy horses. At the beginning, 13,500 taels of death did not let go, but now it is 8,000?

   "But I have already bought a house, and my house is nearly 8,000 taels." Wang Bushi felt regretful. If he knew this, he would have bought Liu Dong's house at the original price.

   Dong Liu’s family is about to cry.

   Want to cry but have no tears.

  He knew in his heart that Wang Bushi would not buy it, so he sighed: "Hey, forget it, forget it...Wang Shidu, farewell...farewell..."

  Wang Bushi felt weird: "Wait a minute, what happened, you are so short of money?"

  Dongjia Liu glanced at Wang Bushi with a look of frustration: "It's not a shortage, it's the sky that has changed."

   "The sky has changed..."

   "Don't Wang Shidu know that His Majesty went to Daming Palace?" Liu Dongjia couldn't help asking.

"I know." Wang Bushi said flatteredly: "The Daming Palace is really magnificent. I am lucky to have a look... It was built by the surname Fang. This Fang Jifan has always had brain problems. This guy is really helpless." Rescue, you are so stupid."

   Whenever he seized the opportunity to scold Fang Jifan, Wang Bushi would never hesitate.

  But Liu Dong’s family looked at Wang Bushi like a fool: “Then do you know that His Majesty has decreed to build a government office near the Daming Palace. Have you read the decree?”

   "I read it." Wang Bushi said with a smile: "I am a servant of the Imperial Academy, why didn't I read it?"

   Liu Dong’s family also served these Hanlin. They really don’t know anything about business. He was hanged from a tree by his neck and he didn’t know what happened. He looked very happy.

  ...

  Chapter 4, ask for a monthly pass, there will be more later, it will not stop!
