Chapter 969: Spring and Autumn Dream
When Xiao Jing heard the four words of His Majesty, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty calms down. I think this is His Royal Highness, so he has other intentions."
"Whether it is intended or not, such an extravagant method must not be performed."
Emperor Hongzhi looked worried with his hands behind his back.
Of course he knew that the rails were laid out with intention.
Fang Jifan must have participated in this matter.
Fang Jifan, the guy, has two words to evaluate, is reliable!
"But their method was used wrong. Do you understand?"
Xiao Jing opened his mouth wide and blamed himself for being mean, why did he say "Your Majesty to calm his anger?"
His eyes were rolling, his forehead was sweating profusely. After a long time, he said, "I don't understand."
"Hey..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, shook his head, looking at Xiao Jing as if he was caring for his mentally retarded.
Emperor Hongzhi walked strolling, and Xiao Jing hurriedly followed him.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the railway track and said, "I heard that the King of Chu is so thin, will he starve to death in the palace?"
This time, Xiao Jing was smart and nodded: "I have heard that the King of Chu likes beautiful women with thin waists. Therefore, in order to meet his preferences, the palace people in the palace were hungry, fearing that they would gain weight..."
"It can be seen how terrible it is to act on the top and the bottom." Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Why did I ask Empress Zhang to weave cloth in the palace?"
"this……"
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "You guys, I don't know if they really don't understand, or if they don't understand. I have deposited 1,3726,21 taels of silver in the treasury! What a huge amount of this, will I be stingy with how many pieces of cloth?"
Xiao Jing shook his head: "No, no."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction: "I asked Empress Zhang to weave cloth not to save these taels of silver. These taels of silver are nothing, but I am the king and father of the subjects. Those who are king and father must take on great responsibilities and also be the example of the world. Throughout history, this is so terrible that the upper and lower brisk things are not right. The subjects are all looking at the emperor. But... they are all looking at the prince..."
"If the prince was so extravagant and paved the way with fine iron, what would he think of this... in the eyes of the world? I know that the prince and Fang Jifan spent their own money. I also know that perhaps they would have the purpose of laying the rails, but for the people of the world, this is extravagant. What is the difference between this and the King of Chu who loves thin waists? It's just that the King of Chu is just a thin waist, and it is just a way to make the beauties in the palace tighten their thin waists. But the prince was extravagant and opened up this trend, so everyone was proud of spending too much and was drunk.
I dream of death, isn’t the rules and regulations of the world a mess? I asked Empress Zhang to weave people to know that the emperor was frugal, and the subjects must not learn from Shi Chong, the Western Jin Dynasty, and it would destroy the world’s atmosphere. Do you know that the target of Shi Chong’s fight for wealth was Wang Kai, a relative of the royal family. In order to compete with Shi Chong, Wang Kai received the support of the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the eyes of people at that time, it was actually the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fighting for wealth. The emperor was still like this. The subjects were proud to paint the walls with spices and use color satin that was more expensive than silk to pull up the barrier."
"So, even above the temple, can those people have a good life?"
When Xiao Jing heard this, he understood: "Your Majesty is wise, the prince will definitely not understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, but wait until he grows up..."
Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and glanced at the rail: "I really want to remove this rail."
Xiao Jing: “…”
Xiao Jing was speechless and said to himself, Your Majesty wants to demolish it, so don’t let the factory guards demolish it, the factory guards dare not.
But Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I'm just a joke."
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Return to the palace."
……………………
Attendant room.
Wang Bushi was a bachelor's attendant and was in charge of the imperial court, and his status can be imagined.
The Hanlin here all had to follow the leader of the king.
However... Although Hanlin was more or less unwilling to accept Wang Bushi's words.
If you don’t read the saint’s book, you will read the Theory of Wealth of the Country. No matter how powerful this Theory of Wealth of the Country is, it still cannot be as good as the saint’s book.
Perhaps it was because I hugged Fang Jifan's thigh.
Hanlin was a noble man and regarded fame more than heaven. Even if Wang Bushi was Shangguan, they did not dare to disobey Shangguan's orders. However, as long as they were paid, they tried their best to negotiate with Wang Bushi.
On duty today, everyone whispered about the railway tracks.
It happened that a deputy envoy from the Tongzheng Department came to transmit official documents. When he came in, he met Wang Bushi first.
Wang Bushi nodded only. He was copying an edict and writing like the wind. He didn't care about the envoy, but the envoy said, "I heard that the prince has been collecting the land and mansions of the old city recently."
Wang Bushi’s acquisition is actually almost the same, with dozens of land acquired by 170,000 taels of silver, and dozens of land, which has already reached 700 to 800 acres.
In addition, he also collected some of the valuable land in the outer city, and those lands were even less valuable.
Wang Bushi has almost completed his purchases, but there seems to be some power in secret, and it seems that he is also a crazy acquisition. However... he has been maintaining the price at this number, and he will never take action. This has led to the decline of the housing prices in the old city gradually warming up a little, but the hope of rising is invisible at all.
Wang Bushi still has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand, and for the time being, there is no land worth continuing to acquire.
Of course, Wang Bushi refused to miss the opportunity, so he still released the news. If anyone wants to sell his house, he can pay attention.
But... the person who came forward to acquire was a merchant, who... the person who pushed him to the front.
And the Tongmasatsu suddenly pointed it out.
Wang Bushi stopped writing and glanced at him.
The Hanlin people who were working nearby looked down at Wang Bushi in surprise.
Wang Bushi wanted to deny it.
He is a Hanlin official, and there is no need to expose himself to the public.
But the deputy envoy of Tongzheng Department smiled and said, "Many people in Beijing have spread. You ask a merchant named ** to purchase the land of the old city on his behalf. Then ** drank with people and said something miserable."
Wang Bushi: "..."
He wanted to shave the two ears hard.
He calmed down: "Yes, I still have some thoughts about the old city, which became increasingly deserted. I thought that my children would always study in the future and be far away from them, so I couldn't rest assured. If I were in the new city, I was afraid that they would learn bad things from others, so I purchased some land in the old city and could accommodate them in the future."
"Sir Wang has taken great pains to study. But..." The envoy said with a smile: "Does it take hundreds or thousands of acres of land to study?"
The Hanlin people were shocked and whispered.
This is not just reading. It is impossible to read, and you will throw your life and life into it.
This scholar Wang actually has so much money? Where did his money come from?
Not only that, this suddenly acquires so many old town land... This...
Wang Bushi seemed particularly calm on his face. He only smiled and glanced at the envoy: "Not only that, I also want to collect some..."
The deputy envoy was stunned.
The others were also stunned.
Why...what is there any news about Wang Bushi?
Wang Bushi smiled and said, "Didn't it mean that the old city needs to pave a road in the new city? Look, the houses in this old city are probably going to rise."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter from the original suspicion.
An old servant laughed: "Sir Wang, this is a bad word. The old city and the new city seem to be paving some of the same... railway tracks... This is not wrong. But is this thing called a road? Besides, even if it is a road, it is nothing great. You know, the houses in Dingxing County have risen because their land is not valuable. The road was suddenly built, and the price naturally surged. But... the situation in the old city is completely different. I think the old city is unsuccessful, but there is no waste. I happened to go to many places a few days ago, and weeds were growing."
Many people also nodded.
When it comes to researching houses, Hanlin people actually have leisure time and often communicate in private.
If this old city does not fall, it means Amitabha Buddha will rise and it will not exist.
Wang Bushi had a blank face: "Oh, please follow the teachings."
He only said that he was a little cautious in obedience to the teachings, but the irony was obvious. I am a Hanlin student. I need you a servant to teach me whether I should buy land and houses in the old city?
The servant was originally joking, but after listening to the four words "六文" he said, his face turned red.
this……
He was a little angry: "It just so happened that I have some land in the inner city. I wanted to sell it, but the price was higher, 370 taels of silver per acre. The brokers said that this price was difficult to sell. It was not easy to buy this house back then. I thought to myself that this price was expensive, but after all, it was a thought. It was not this price. I really didn't want to sell it. But since Mr. Wang was going to collect it, it might as well be like this. Mr. Wang took it with him. At the beginning, it was also a prosperous place. Now... it was a little depressed, but this was more than 30 acres..."
This servant is obviously from a confident family, so he can only buy such a big house in the inner city. He was gambled in his heart and couldn't speak up. You want it, just right, I'll give it to you.
Wang Bushi thought for a while: "Okay, then I will buy it, and I will deliver it today. I owe two goods to you. I will pay the value. I will ask for a guarantor. I have the money."
When other Hanlins heard this, some were speechless, some were moved, some were thoughtful, and some were just watching the fun.
"Ahem, Mr. Wang, there are actually a few acres of people in Xiaguan, otherwise you..."
"The Xiaguan has..."
Keeping such land with unknown future prospects in your hands is like a hot potato. The reason why I can't bear to sell it is just that I can't sell it at a price. Now Wang Bushi has already bought it, which is great, let's see him having this great dream of spring and autumn.
