Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 840 The price has increased

   "..."

   Everyone looked at Chang Wei in astonishment.

  Chang Wei is just an ordinary scholar, and his reputation is at most a scholar.

  Even if he can become a Jinshi in the future, so what, doesn't he have to start from a small Shujishi and a politician?

  The people who can stand in front of Chang Wei, from the first assistant of the cabinet, the second assistant, to the palm print of the Yumajian, which one, the status is not very different from him.

   But even in front of them, Chang Wei was neither humble nor overbearing.

  Anyone can see a wave of pride from him.

  This kind of pride is completely different from the arrogance of ordinary wild students.

  His pride is restrained, for himself, not for others.

He considers himself a student of Xishan, so he is very proud, but this pride means that he will never allow himself to have the slightest flaw. It is unforgivable and a shameful act.

  In later generations, there will always be a group of guys who beat their chests and stumbled because they scored 99 points in the exam. Although they still got the first place in the exam, in the eyes of others, this guy is pretending to be aggressive, has a brain problem, and is a nerd.

But as everyone knows, for others, they don't even bother to compare with you scumbags. It doesn't matter whether you take the first place in the test or not. The important thing is that you lose a point, and this difference is enough to make you Feeling melancholy and resentful, pretending to be coercive? It doesn't exist, with you, is there any need to pretend?

  Many students of Xishan Academy are like this.

  Everyone gasped after hearing this.

  Even Liu Jian couldn't help being moved.

  Xishan Academy is really a gathering place for monsters.

   And my son is also in this academy, haha, he is honored.

  That Zhang Zhaotian was already in despair, wanting to cry without tears. If Chang Wei asked for punishment because of a slight loss, then... can he still be saved?

Wang Bushi was already overjoyed, and suddenly had a feeling of regaining what was lost: "It's good, it's good, yes, building a house is like running a big country, and running a big country is like cooking small fish. You should keep improving, and you can be regarded as a disciple of a saint." .”

   Wearing this high hat seems to say that everyone is a disciple of a saint, so we must have a conscience.

  Wang Bushi's face was flushed, he was happy, and he kept nodding his head. It's reliable. Fang Jifan still has a bit of conscience. Before that, it seemed that there was something wrong.

   That's all, forgive him.

   But the attendant Liu Zhengjing had a slightly strange expression on his face.

   It seems that the people in the shed also heard the movement, and saw Fang Jifan and the prince coming out hand in hand.

  When everyone saw Zhu Houzhao, they hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."

  Zhu Houzhao only had his hands behind his back, seeing these guys in a state of distress: "What's wrong with the capital, why are you in such a state of distress?"

"this…"

  Liu Jian and the others blushed. Speaking of which, it was really hard to say.

   Liu Jian had no choice but to say: "It has been raining for several days, and the capital has already swelled. This rain is rare in hundreds of years. The capital... is already full of feces and urine, and the flood is knee-deep... It has become a **** on earth."

   "It's good to be brave." Zhu Houzhao smiled...

  Fang Jifan hurriedly tucked Zhu Houzhao's sleeves secretly.

  Zhu Houzhao just came to his senses, suppressed his smile, but showed a look of pain: "Is that so, this palace... I'm sorry... this... this... so many people, so many people have been affected by the disaster, and many houses have been damaged."

Liu Jian was worried, and said: "Yes, in the palace, the Jinshen Hall collapsed, and the imperial lake and the moat swelled...In the Forbidden City, it was a mess. The mansions in the inner city suffered heavy losses, and there were still many roads...As for the outer city , it would be even worse.”

  Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and secretly took a look at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan lowered his head as if mourning his concubine: "It's really... uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable."

  Zhu Houzhao also lowered his head: "Yes, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."

   Liu Jian frowned, feeling that these two guys were weird.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "I didn't expect that the capital suffered such a huge loss. This... this... well, forget it, I am too uncomfortable, and I don't know what to say. What is the reason why you are here?"

   "I'm here to see His Majesty."

   "Oh." Zhu Houzhao said: "It just so happens that Ben Gong and Fang Duwei are going to see you too, let's go together, go together."

  Looking at these worried courtiers, Zhu Houzhao was happy in his heart. He likes to see others in a state of embarrassment. Even Master Liu is in a state of embarrassment, which is even more interesting.

  Zhu Houzhao raised his steps, ready to leave.

  Suddenly, someone said: "His Royal Highness, Fang Duwei, this new house...hehe...I really want to buy one."

   It was Liu Zhengjing, the attendant who spoke.

  Liu Zhengjing regretted it. If she knew this was the case, she should not have returned the house. Now it seems that the new house is better.

   Forget it, just treat it as a loss of interest money and re-borrow.

  Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, this is what he was waiting for.

  Looking at the officials, many people looked at themselves eagerly.

  Zhu Houzhao coughed and was about to say something...

  Fang Jifan was at the side, but he was honest and honest, and said honestly: "The new house... I'm afraid it's under planning for the time being, and there is no new supply yet, but there are some tail buildings that need to be snatched."

   These **** buildings are the ones who faded out of Liu Zhengjing.

   "Okay, okay." Liu Zhengjing said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the next official will bring the deposit, and the last building is the last building, it doesn't matter."

"However..." Fang Jifan blushed slightly. After all, he is a person with very upright views and a sense of morality, so...he hesitated and said: "Recently, due to fluctuations in raw materials, promising market prospects, and warmer weather, the people's Life is generally improving, the domestic demand market is growing sharply, the labor force is increasing, the supply of the land market is shrinking, and the purchasing power is…”

   "..."

  Liu Zhengjing and the others stretched their necks and listened patiently.

  But... I can't understand a word.

  What do you mean?

Liu Zhengjing was smiling. This Captain Fang really knows how to joke. Sometimes he speaks very cutely, although sometimes his temper is a bit violent, but judging by his actions in the new city, he seems to have a real conscience. If you make some awkward and difficult words, of course, young people must understand and be magnanimous.

  Liu Zhengjing smiled and said: "Fang Duwei, what exactly do you want to say, please tell me."

  Everyone is holding their breath, waiting.

  Fang Jifan said: "This...the price has increased..."

  Increased...the price has increased!

   In Liu Zhengjing's heart, ten thousand muddy horses galloped by.

   Sit down and raise the price.

   Shameless.

  He took a deep breath with an unnatural expression on his face.

  In fact, like him, there are many people with unnatural expressions.

   Is there such a rise? You think your land and house are made of gold?

  Fang Jifan said embarrassingly: "It's just that before the rainstorm, it was 13,000 taels, but now it is 19,000 taels, which is only 6,000 taels more..."

  Liu Zhengjing's heart...suddenly seemed to have been gouged out by a knife.

When he bought the suite, he spent 11,000 taels. Although the price rose to 13,000 taels in the market, in fact, at that time, because of the quality problem, people talked a lot, so it was worth the price. Without a market, he resolutely returned his five acres of land at the original price, wanting to stop the loss in time.

   But now, compared with his 11,000 taels, the price has skyrocketed by more than 6,000 taels, this is 8,000 taels, a shameless thing!

This is equivalent to returning 55,000 taels of silver at the beginning, but if he wants to buy back the original house, he has to prepare 95,000 taels. Yes, Liu Zhengjing is from a noble family, and his family has a big business. It is also a leading big family, but...he can't afford the price difference of 40,000 taels of silver.

  Liu Zhengjing almost fainted.

  It’s only been a few days, and I’ve lost so much.

  I may not be able to earn so much wealth in my whole life.

  He couldn't help but look gloomy.

  The other ministers were also full of anger.

   Everyone looked at Fang Jifan bitterly.

  In fact, even Zhu Houzhao was a little confused, Lao Fang...this...is too cruel, this is killing people to death.

   "Hmph, it's so expensive, who would buy it. I don't believe it, but someone is willing to spend this money."

   Liu Zhengjing sneered.

  Fang Jifan smiled wryly: "If you want to be cheap, you can go to a remote place, five miles south from here, the same house, I'll give you a price of 8,21 mu, how about it?"

   "..."

"If it's further away, from here to the south, ten miles away, I'm in charge, three thousand taels! Liu Shixue, don't even think about it, the house you want to buy, you want to have a school, a hospital, a hospital, and a university nearby. The theater and the Daming Palace are only a short distance away. Not far away, the future Zhongcheng Bingmasi is nearby. That's enough, one or two hundred taels in the outer city, there are plenty of houses like this."

   "..." Liu Zhengjing turned pale.

  Black...really black.

  Go back to Jingshili to buy?

joke.

This time the capital has been reduced to a **** on earth. If there is no new city, it’s fine. It’s at the feet of the emperor. The capital recovered as before.

  But today is different from the past.

Your Majesty has already arrived at the Daming Palace. In the future, countless ministries and government offices will be located here. This heavy rain has proved that the capital is a bottomless pit that is prone to disasters. I don’t know how much money is spent on food and maintenance every year. The court is willing to spend it. Should the money be thrown into the renovation of the old city?

  Nine times out of ten, some places were barely repaired, and others had to be left alone.

  Once the resources invested by the imperial court are insufficient, even if the flood recedes, the housing prices in the old city will not know where they will plummet, let alone how dilapidated they will be.

  Liu Zhengjing is not stupid, this truth can be understood after thinking about it.

  Even if you open the account book of the Ministry of Accounts, you can know at a glance how much it costs to repair the streets and mansions every year, as well as the maintenance of the palace.

  So... In the past, they might have had a choice, but now... they have no choice.
