Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1073 Shaking the World

  Hundred acres of house...

  In the entire capital, I am afraid that no one has such a handwriting.

The most important thing is that one person can't live in so many houses. After all, the capital is not the hometown, and the old house can be built as big as it is, because the old house is an isolated existence, in order to provide for the family. Therefore, there must be a large number of people to serve them. There is no school, and a school must be set up in the house. The ancestors need a place, so there must be an ancestral hall.

   But this is the capital.

  Everyone stared at Wang Bushi and gasped.

  Wang Bushi said with a smile: "My lords, the opportunity to make a fortune may be approaching. Buying some while the housing prices are flat now is bound to be profitable."

   "..."

  No one said anything, and now a lot of bad news is coming out, isn't it stupid to buy a house at this time?

   It’s not ten taels, twenty taels, or one hundred taels, it’s tens of thousands of taels. Who wants to go crazy with you.

   What's more, many people have a lot of resentment in their hearts, and they can't stand it. But anyone with a "conscience" cannot tolerate being harvested by Fang Jifan.

Everyone ignored Wang Bushi, gathered together, and said in a low voice: "Last time, Wang Bushi donated a lot of money to Xishan Academy. I think he wants to go with Fang Duwei on the same path." blacken."

   "My lords, let's tell the truth, that Fang Jifan recently taught the emperor's grandson riding and archery, riding and archery, the emperor's grandson will be the prince and the emperor in the future, he will not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but learn riding and archery..."

  Everyone was deeply worried.

  For some people, the current situation is really good.

  But for some people, they don't like their future becoming unpredictable.

The original world is beneficial to these Hanlins. They know the rules of that world, and understand every rule of that world, whether it is explicit or hidden. They are the kings of that world, but they can't understand this world now. , no matter how prosperous it was, it still gave them a feeling of uneasiness.

Someone squinted his eyes, as if he couldn't hold back anymore: "Don't you guys see clearly? What's happening now, to put it bluntly, is all based on using wheat fields to save money. Once no one is willing to buy the new city Zhaizi, just wait and see, Captain Fang, I'm afraid life will be difficult."

   "Oh?" Someone was interested and couldn't help asking: "Why is this?"

The man blushed: "This...this...to tell the truth, I have also read some The Wealth of Nations recently, and there is no faith or benevolence in this book. Li, but... there are some interesting things in this book."

"Think about it, gentlemen, if the house price does not rise, will anyone rush to buy a house? And if no one buys this house, sir, then Fang Jifan has built countless workshops to supply the construction of the new city and the transformation of the old city , Once the sale of the house is unsustainable, do you want to start the construction of so many workshops, do you want to continue the construction of so many opened roads? They can't conjure money out of thin air, without money, these things have to stop, but... Have you ever thought about it? Once it is unsustainable, the new city and the old city, countless peasants and craftsmen, gather hundreds of thousands of households, or even more. There are also miners in the Hexi Corridor, Dingxing County, and even There is also the current Baoding Mansion, these people... whoever pays them wages, without wages, they will go hungry, and the livelihood of hundreds of people will be greatly affected. Can the imperial court order them to return to their hometowns to farm? , can they go back? Are they willing to go back?"

   "This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor, once something happens, it's not a joke. When the time comes..."

  Many people gasped and felt chills on their backs.

   Those who wanted to see Fang Jifan's jokes suddenly felt a little bit unable to laugh.

   If there is any major change, it will shake the foundation of the country, and something big will happen.

  Many people began to worry about it, and they didn't bother to ridicule Fang Jifan anymore, they just felt...a chill in their hearts.

  Someone actually came up with an idea, I hope...no accident will happen.

  Wang Bushi was still alone, and he seemed to understand what these people were thinking.

  That's all I said, so I don't care about it.

  Then, he returned to his copybook. On top of the copybook was an imperial edict he had just copied. This imperial edict had been promulgated half a month ago and needed to be copied and backed up in the Imperial Academy.

  ...

  Fang Jifan is still very caring about the children in the nursery school.

  The children have grown up, and they are not young. In fact, in ancient times, children of this age, if they were poor, had even started to work.

  As for Zhu Zaimo, they not only need to learn how to ride and shoot, but also how to march in the army. Children are the most malleable, because at this time, almost whatever Fang Jifan says, they will consciously be what they are.

The official affairs of Xishan County are actually assisted by scribes and servants. Even if they leave them, they can run on their own. They are more of a group of observers and learners in the governance of the county government. Well...it looks like a later generation The affairs officers and political officials of some countries, the political officials who knew nothing about governance before came to power, no matter how ignorant they were about governance, but as long as there is a stable system of affairs officers, no matter how much the political officials thought before they came to power Childish and ridiculous, they can guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

  In addition to riding and shooting, you still need to take care of the horses. Occasionally, you have to go to the county for a walk. Even if you don’t make a decision, you still need to know what happened in Xishan recently.

  In addition, the children gathered in a circle and found some old soldiers to explain some interesting things in the army.

  The children listened very carefully.

  Children at this time will be in awe of anyone who has a rich life experience.

  At this time, they have not yet acquired the aristocratic bad temper of the nobles, which is like Fang Jifan.

  The old soldier was flattered, talking about the hard work in the army, and the concern in his heart when he left his hometown. These seemingly unintentional stories are like a seed, planted in the hearts of the children, and sprouted.

  The New Year is approaching.

Early in the day, it began to snow. The goose-feather snow whitened the new city, but Fang Jifan didn't feel the cold. He was wrapped in three layers of fur clothing. Now the new city has the atmosphere of the capital city of Ming Dynasty. Surrounding the Daming Palace, the well-shaped wide asphalt driveway extends to the end as far as the eye can see. In this well-shaped space, there are patches of well-arranged houses. The flow of people in the new city has increased.

  Business is booming at the shops along the street. Even in winter, the people earning their living are still busy in the wind and snow.

   It’s the Chinese New Year.

Fang Jifan, however, is like a wandering soul, walking around, his heart has no place to rest, he has integrated with this world, as a loved and respected person, no matter where Fang Jifan goes, he will be awed by others , At the same time, people are eager for him. He can always see countless smiling faces. There is no need to doubt the sincerity of these smiles.

  But... Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.

  Usually I don't think so, but every festival, Fang Jifan always thinks that his parents traveled across the ocean, which makes any festival a bit more chill.

He lowered his head and looked at the accounts seriously. Wang Jinyuan frowned: "I don't know who is spreading rumors outside, saying that our house can't be sold, and the newly listed 3,000-acre house has only sold more than a thousand households. There are nearly 2,000 households, but there is no settlement. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, so many people need to be paid and supported. Before that, the stalls of Xishan Jianye Shop were too big, and now..."

Fang Jifan said calmly: "You doglike thing, you only know how to scare people, stop talking nonsense, it's not your turn to worry about this matter, the project that should be carried out, continue, if the turnover is difficult, you can borrow money from the bank. Some loans are, don’t worry, good people will be rewarded.”

   Originally, Wang Jinyuan was quite relieved by what he said earlier.

   But the young master suddenly said that a good man is rewarded with good rewards, which made him nervous all of a sudden, why does it sound like...it seems to be over.

  Fang Jifan whistled with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't have the slightest worry about it.

   "Master, master..." Suddenly, someone came running and said excitedly: "Master... the fleet... is back, back to Tianjin, eating beef is a crime, come back..."

  Back to Tianjin...

  The movements of the Zhang family brothers are so fast.

  Fang Jifan suddenly cheered up.

"The news has spread. Many people have gone to Tianjin, saying they want to see it for themselves, young master... This is a fleet that has traveled around the world. Everyone is terrified. It turns out that the feet are really round. They want to see it. Look, what does this boat that swims past the big sphere look like."

  Any fact that subverts cognition will cause a huge sensation.

   What's more, it's still in this ignorant age.

  When the relevant papers are published in the search journals, people only think that it is just a bunch of weird talks, and they are just talking and laughing with others after dinner.

  But... when this really happened in front of my eyes, it was definitely a huge shock to many people and their hearts.

  Many people were dumbfounded, and then... they wanted to believe that seeing is believing. Tianjin Port, here has been surrounded by a crowd of people... surrounded by water.

   Ships have docked.

   Immediately afterwards, the tax collectors guarded the vital points and began to sort out the goods on the ship.

   One by one, the boxes were carried down.

  The surge of people scrambling to be the first.

  But at this time, the one who was more excited... was Zhang Heling. At this time, he was still standing on the deck, not in a hurry to get off the ship, but he knew that next, he would report a piece of good news that would shake the government and the public.

  From the voyages to the West... the really huge harvest has begun to appear.

  Compared to the small-scale looting in the past, the most stable source of wealth... will appear in front of the emperors and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty...of course...the Zhang family...will pay dividends!
