Chapter 521 The business logic of Bianjing University(1/3)
The weather is very good this morning.
The temperature is not high and there is a gentle breeze.
Zhao Xu also took the rare opportunity to bring his brothers to the back garden of Da Nei.
That is to say, later, Zhao Ji carried out a lot of construction work and visited the expanded Yanfu Palace.
Today's Yanfu Palace is actually very large.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, an artificial canal had been dug. The water from the Jinshui River and the Wuzhang River entered the back garden and poured into the artificial lake in the back garden - the inner pond.
In the past dynasties, Zhao Guan's family used to go boating with their concubines in the inner pond.
The gardens here are also very famous - after the destruction of Shu, a large number of hibiscus, peonies and other flowers from Chengdu were introduced and planted here.
Legend has it that these flowers were planted by Mrs. Hua Rui herself.
Therefore, Shao Bowen's rumor stick made a rumor based on this - Taizu once cut off the wrist of a beautiful woman with a sword in this garden.
The reason is that Taizu was once bewildered by his beauty, so he personally broke peonies to decorate his temples.
Then I suddenly realized - I have conquered the world through hard work, but I want to defeat it with just one woman?
Suddenly his face changed, and he drew his knife and cut off the beauty's wrist.
In this story, Taizu is like a lunatic.
One moment he was folding flowers to please the beauty, but the next moment he woke up and cut off the beauty's wrist with a knife.
Completely, it is a Northern Song Dynasty version of "Summer Camp Contest".
Zhao Xu was walking in the nursery of the garden and suddenly thought of this matter.
He pursed his lips slightly: "Shao Bowen needs to send someone to rectify it!"
"We can't let him spread rumors!"
Originally, Zhao Xu had chosen Yan Jidao and planned to let Yan Jidao go to Luoyang to play against Shao Bowen.
However, it is a wall that cannot be supported by mud.
Therefore, we can only give up temporarily.
Now that he saw the peonies in the back garden, he remembered this original intention.
It is indeed necessary to choose an official carefully and go to Luoyang to treat Shao Bowen.
It was also at this time that Feng Jing hurriedly came to him and reported: "Everyone, Hanlin bachelor Xing Shu has submitted a message begging for an audience."
Zhao Xu said oh and ordered: "Let Bachelor of Justice come to the back garden."
This back garden is also a common place for Zhao officials to summon their ministers.
During the Taizong era, when Yujin Garden was not built, many ferocious beasts were raised here.
Taizong often brought his ministers to the back garden to watch the beasts.
"No!" Feng Jing took the order and left.
Zhao Xu said to the mother-in-law who had been taking care of the young emperor's brothers: "Mother-in-law, let's take the emperor's brothers to the Yuhua Palace to play. I have something to discuss with the Hanlin bachelor."
"I understand!" The mother-in-law nodded with a smile, then hugged Zhao Si, led Zhao Bai, and led several princesses to the Yuhua Palace on the side of the garden.
It was a palace built by Zhao Xu's father. It was next to the inner pond and was mainly used for the emperors and queens to rest after boating.
There are rockeries, pavilions and palaces in the palace.
Watching the mother-in-law and her younger brothers and sisters go away.
Zhao Xu, escorted by Yan Yuan, found a pavilion in the garden and sat down, quietly waiting for Xingshu.
Zhao Xu could probably guess that Xing Shu came here for the matter of Jing'anfang.
He was also very interested and wanted to hear Xing Shu's report.
After all, this Jing'anfang project is the product of Zhao Xu's ambition.
…
About two-quarters of an hour later, Xing Shu was brought to Zhao Xu.
"I respectfully wish your Majesty a long blessing!"
"I am blessed to grant you a seat."
After the routine courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, Xing Shu carefully sat down on a prepared stone bench outside the pavilion.
"Have you seen Jing'anfang?" Zhao Xu asked.
Xing Shu nodded: "I came from Jing'anfang."
"How is it?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.
The expression on Xing Shu's face suddenly became extremely interesting.
He hesitated for a long time before holding back a sentence: "Your Majesty's sage wisdom is profound, how can it be compared with the vulgar opinions of my ministers..."
He has already learned about the entire ‘Bianjing Academy’ in Jing’anfang.
After understanding this, Xing Shu was confused.
Because that was a brand new way of making money that he had never seen before!
The so-called "Bianjing Academy" in Jing'anfang now has nothing but courtyard walls and gates.
Only a so-called ‘exhibition area’ has been built.
Even the so-called ‘display area’ is not yet fully completed.
It is said that it will be opened to the public in ten days.
However……
Officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture have already established a place called the 'Bianjing Academy Recruitment Department' in Jing'an Square.
It has begun to accept people’s pledge of funds.
Moreover, according to the Kaifeng Prefecture, this so-called "subscription" does not guarantee that those who pay the money will definitely be able to buy a house in Jing'anfang.
But those who don’t hand over the ‘pledge’ will definitely not be able to buy it!
In addition, there is a lot of so-called ‘pledged funds’.
A house costs one thousand guan!
According to the introduction of officials from Kaifeng Prefecture, those who have paid the deposit can register and become pre-orderers of the ‘Bianjing Academy’.
All pre-orderers can participate in the ‘lottery’ process of ‘Bianjing Academy’ after ten days.
It's like drawing lots.
Those who are caught can pay the rest of the house payment.
If they are not caught, Kaifeng Prefecture will arrange a refund.
Of course, pre-orderers can also choose not to receive a refund and wait for another lottery draw from the ‘Bianjing Academy’ – if there is one.
After Xing Shu read it, everyone was stunned.
As confused as he was, there were many people at the scene.
but……
Subsequently, a large number of people, waving Jiaozi and gold and silver, rushed into the so-called "Bianjing Academy Recognition Department" that was temporarily built with wooden boards in Jing'an Square.
Xing Shu naturally looked at it carefully.
Although there are close friends of this official family among them, such as people from Cao, Liu, Wang, Yang and other families.
But there are also a lot of unfamiliar people with foreign accents.
It's just amazing!
He has never seen anything like this.
A large number of businessmen, with real money and silver, subscribed for a 'mansion' that had not even started construction and had never even seen its appearance.
Moreover, you subscribe with your eyes closed!
When did the merchants of the Song Dynasty become so easy to make money?
I really don’t understand!
Zhao Xu listened and laughed, still having high hopes for Xing Shu Zhao Xu.
Because Xing Shu and Cai Jing are actually the same kind of people.
They all have a moral vacuum, and there is no burden of so-called "Confucian morality" in their hearts.
In their eyes, the so-called new party and the old party are actually the same.
As long as necessary, you can switch positions without any psychological pressure.
But Xing Shu is different from Cai Jing.
