It's a wonderful feeling.
Everyone is drunk and I am alone.
Looking at this group of people who were still discussing their pros and cons with great interest, twirling their beards and citing scriptures, Wang Bushi wanted to laugh.
Respectfully sending His Majesty back to the palace, everyone returned to the waiting room with great interest.
As usual, Wang Bushi explained: "Your Majesty's oral order, the imperial decree to be drafted, strictly serve Xue, you first write a draft, and I will read it later."
Yan Xi couldn't help complaining: "Xueshi Wang, this old man is old, hey, I just went out and tossed around again, and my back is sore, this... this..."
This Yan Xi relied on the old to sell the old. In front of Wang Bushi, although he was a low-ranking official, he regarded himself as an old man.
Such people are not liked in any yamen.
Unfortunately, you still have nothing to do with him.
After all, if there is an old man in the Yamen, it is like a treasure. If you criticize him harshly for this, you will appear to be harsh to others, and you may be regarded as a cruel official.
Wang Bushi only pursed his lips. He had a surprisingly good temper, and seemed to be used to the atmosphere in the edict room: "Okay, then I will write it myself."
So I prepared the pen and ink, picked up the pen, but did not dip it in the ink, but began to meditate.
But Yan Xi stole some free time, so he sat on the side, drank tea, and said to a few other leisurely Hanlin: "I found out, this steam locomotive will probably cost more than 20 million taels of silver, eh, how many people can't afford to wear clothes?" Cover your body, think about it, it’s really uncomfortable, how many people can I save if I give this old man two million taels of silver.”
"Yes, yes..." Everyone sighed with emotion.
"This is a waste of money and people. I should write a letter...a harsh impeachment."
"I'm afraid there is a lot of money spent, and it was given by His Majesty privately."
"Ah, if that's the case..." Yan Xi was furious: "Although it is internal money, it has nothing to do with the national treasury, but the internal money is also taken from the people's fat and anointing, but in the end, it turned out to be such a flashy thing, His Royal Highness, it is such a great achievement , is really worrying.”
All of them showed righteous indignation, wishing they could tear down the railroad track, exchange the scrap metal for silver, and then do something beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood.
Wang Bushi still lowered his head and drafted the imperial edict.
He couldn't hold back a little. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to hang out with these people.
If Wang Bushi hadn't been used to being ridiculed by others, he would have learned to be taciturn. After all... he was the scum of the world, I'm afraid he couldn't stand it long ago.
But now, he flicked his wrist just as he was about to write, so the tip of the pen dipped in ink flicked some ink onto the white paper.
He can't get used to the crown prince and Fang Duwei, your uncle, you blackmail me, I will hate you for the rest of my life.
However, after hearing what these people said, Wang Bushi felt that the prince and Fang Duwei were just black-hearted, but these people were so stupid that people wanted to smash them to death with pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
It just so happens that these people occupy important positions in the Imperial Academy.
Wang Bushi pretended to write calmly, and said: "It's not a great achievement. This vehicle has such a heavy weight and amazing capacity. It is like a canal. Now it connects the new city and the old city. It is very important for the whole capital. There are great benefits."
Everyone heard Wang Bushi's anti-tune again, and felt disgusted in their hearts.
Everyone is Hanlin, and they all have a strong character. You can't be afraid of you just because you, Wang Bushi, are a Shangguan.
Yan Xi couldn't help but said in a strange way: "Dare to ask, what's the benefit?"
Wang Bushi put down his pen and said with a smile: "Isn't this obvious? With this steam locomotive, the distance between the new city and the old city has been shortened? It used to be that the distance between them was forty miles, but now, it is only three or five miles away." Here, this is the effect brought by the steam train. In addition, in The Wealth of Nations, there is another effect called "scale effect". If the two places are far apart and resources cannot be allocated, they can only do their own things But once the two places are merged into one, the population will be equivalent to more than doubled at the same time, and the wealth will naturally increase accordingly. Do you understand what I mean? There is no difference between the new city and the old city, and the old city That is the new city, and the new city is the old city, and they have become one."
Everyone still doesn't understand.
I just feel that this guy is still talking about the Wealth of Nations, which is really hateful.
Yan Xi sneered: "Student Wang reads miscellaneous books all day long, I'm afraid he's bewitched."
Wang Bushi raised his head and stared at Yan Xi. He was silent for a moment: "Being enchanted, there is nothing wrong with it."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
A Hanlin muttered in a low voice: "Because I was possessed by a demon, I ran to the old city and bought some worthless land. Fortunately, Xueshi Wang was willing to buy it. Otherwise, no one would want to give away the land I was waiting for. "
Everyone smiled. This sale of land was really a stroke of genius for them. This joke can laugh at Wang Bushi, an obsessed guy, for a year.
Wang Bushi raised his head abruptly, suddenly feeling angry.
In the past, he was laughed at as the scum of the world, but he could bear it, but to be honest, being teased and abused by these fools here made him lose his temper, and he stared at the Hanlin fiercely.
Hanlin seemed a little afraid and was at a loss for a moment.
When the others saw it, they said, "Scholar Wang, you have to be tolerant, he's just joking, why can't you take a joke so much?"
"Yes, yes, Xueshi Wang must not get angry. He is an official in the same dynasty, so there is nothing to be angry about."
Wang Bushi's eyes gradually softened, and he picked up his pen, as if it had nothing to do with him, and wanted to continue to busy with his official duties.
But when these Hanlins saw this, they all winked.
Yan Xi, on the other hand, was drinking tea, showing a contented look.
But at this time, a scribe came in a hurry: "Hey, gentlemen, who has a mansion in the old city?"
These idle Hanlins all looked up, and when they heard about the old city, they all looked at Wang Bushi subconsciously.
Wang Bushi was calm and relaxed, but he was still slightly surprised that the actions of the merchants were really too fast. He said lightly: "What's the matter?"
"Outside the Imperial Academy, some people are anxiously asking around. The students saw that the princes of the Imperial Academy were discussing, so they came into the palace to see if there is anyone who wants to sell the waiting room."
"Yeah?" a Hanlin said: "Why, someone outside the palace bought land and real estate in the old city?"
The clerk said: "Isn't it? Gentlemen, it's like this. It's said that the main railway station has already announced that the railway ticket goes from the old city to the new city. There are a total of 13 stations. From one station to the next station, there is a unified document." The fare of money, even if it is from the beginning to the end, is only thirteen cents. As soon as the news came out, all the merchants in the capital went crazy... I also heard that Xishan Jianye has plans in the old city and will carry out large-scale Large-scale groundbreaking, not only theaters, schools, railway stations, but also housing, markets... Oh, every station, and commercial streets. In the future, not only will there be railway tracks, but also an asphalt road with ten lanes... ...In short, what is there in the new city, there is everything there, not to mention that the old city is already popular, and it is easy to sell the house after it is built."
Everyone gasped.
A shadow suddenly cast over Yan Xi's heart.
No, just because of a railway?
One penny can be used for a one-stop ride. This price is extremely low for any migrant worker.
But……
The clerk said: "There are rumors outside that many craftsmen, merchants, and wealthy people in the capital have no houses yet. Besides, there were not many people who sold all the land in the old city in the past. But in the new city, I can’t afford to buy a house. Now it’s better. After the development of the old city, Xishan Jianye spread the news, and many people are asking about the price and want to buy it. Because of this, some Merchants are taking this opportunity to ask around for land in the old city, just in time, taking this opportunity, they can follow Xishan to build a business and make a fortune. Now... the land in the old city has tripled!"
three times……
Yan Xi and the others' faces turned green from fright.
Especially Yan Xi, he sold Wang Bushi's 30 mu of land, and he only got Wang Bushi's thousand taels of silver in total.
But in the change of hands, he lost a few thousand taels?
Fuck...
A few thousand taels, this is not a small amount.
The faces of the others were as pale as paper...
Wang Bushi was very calm, staring at the scribe: "Three times the price, but you want to buy it? Is this merchant crazy?"
"It's crazy. I heard that no one is willing to sell it so far. They all say it will go up. Some people say that even if it goes up ten times, no one is willing to sell it."
The scribe looked at Wang Bushi with admiration.
Wang Bushi was silent for a moment, but said lightly: "No, not only ten times, but twenty times, at least this amount... Just wait and see, tomorrow, the price may be ten times, within half a month, It will definitely reach twenty times, so you go and advise, tell those princes who have land in their hands, let them not rush to make a move, and don't lose their heads."
twenty times...
Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat...
Now he no longer thinks that Wang Bushi is crazy, because in fact, Wang Bushi... obviously came prepared, and seeing how calm he looks, there are nine out of ten...it might be twenty. times.
I sold thirty mu of land, and one mu was only five hundred taels. Doesn't this mean that I lost... lost... nearly three hundred thousand taels of silver...
Three hundred thousand...two silver...
What is the number.
I actually passed by the rich man.
"Ah!" Yan Xi suddenly touched his head, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, he felt a splitting headache, and before he could cry bitterly, he became dizzy, and after the ah ah, he fell to the ground straight and passed out. past.
But at this time, the other Hanlins were all trembling, their teeth chattering, Yan Xi suffered the most, but the others did not suffer less.
They couldn't care less about Yan Xi, they all wanted to find a place where they could be killed.
On the other hand, the scribe was kind, and quickly stepped forward to pinch Yan Xi. Among those who pinched Yan Xi, he said: "Yan Shixue, Yan Shixue, wake up, wake up..."
Yan Xi woke up leisurely, his eyes were full of confusion, but suddenly a memory flooded into his mind, and then, a feeling of extreme pain spread throughout his body, so there was another ah, he tilted his head, and passed out from the pain !
