When Xiao Jing heard His Majesty's four words, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty calm down, I think this is His Highness the Crown Prince, he must have other intentions."

"Whether there are other intentions or not, such an extravagant method is absolutely unfeasible."

Emperor Hongzhi looked worried with his hands behind his back.

Of course he knew that the railroad tracks must have been laid on purpose.

Fang Jifan must have participated in this matter.

This guy Fang Jifan can only be evaluated in two words, reliable!

"But their method is wrong. Do you understand?"

Xiao Jing opened his mouth wide, he only blamed himself for being cheap, why did he say "Your Majesty" to appease his anger.

His eyeballs were rolling, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. After a long time, he said: "Your servant does not understand."

"Hey..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, shook his head, and looked at Xiao Jing as if caring for the mentally retarded.

Emperor Hongzhi walked leisurely, Xiao Jing hurriedly followed behind.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the railway track and said, "I heard that the king of Chu has such a thin waist, how many starved to death in the palace?"

This time, Xiao Jing was considered smart, and nodded: "I have heard it before, that is to say, the king of Chu likes beauties with thin waists, so the palace people in the palace wanted to cater to him, so they went hungry one after another, for fear that they would grow up. Fat……"

"It can be seen that it is a terrible thing to follow the example." Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "I asked Empress Zhang to weave cloth for the palace. Why?"

"this……"

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "You guys, I don't know if you really don't understand, or if you don't understand. I have 13,726,212 taels of silver in my internal funds! What a huge amount, I Will you be stingy with a few bolts of cloth?"

Xiao Jing quickly shook his head: "No, no."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction: "I asked Empress Zhang to weave cloth not to save these taels of silver, which are nothing, but I am the father of my subjects. It needs to be an example for the people of the world. Throughout the ages, the fact that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked is so terrible. The subjects are all looking at the emperor. But... they are all looking at the prince..."

"If the crown prince is so extravagant and paves the road with fine iron, how...in the eyes of the world, what will they think of it. I know that the crown prince and Fang Jifan spent their own money. I also know that maybe they paved this road. There must be some use for the rails, but to the people of the world, this is extravagance. What is the difference between this and the king of Chu who likes thin waists? It’s just that the king of Chu is good, but it’s just a thin waist, and it’s nothing more than a palace. The beauties in the middle school, tighten their slender waists. But the prince is extravagant, and this trend has been developed, so everyone is proud of being extravagant, drunk and dreaming of death. Isn’t the discipline of the world in chaos? I asked Queen Zhang to weave, yes Let people know that the emperor is still frugal, and the subjects must not learn from Shi Chong in the Western Jin Dynasty to fight for wealth. Competing with Shi Chong, but getting the support of the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the eyes of the people at that time, it was actually the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fighting for wealth with Shi Chong. It takes expensive colored satin to pull up the barrier and be proud."

"Then, with the situation above the temple, can those common people have a good life?"

When Xiao Jing heard it, he understood now: "Your Majesty is wise, the crown prince must not be able to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, but when he grows up..."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and glanced at the railway track: "I really want to tear down this railway track."

Xiao Jing: "..."

Xiao Jing was speechless, he said in his heart, if His Majesty wants to demolish it, don't let the factory guards do it, the factory guards dare not.

But Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "Forget it, I'm just joking."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Go back to the palace."

………………

Waiting for the edict room.

Wang Bushi, as a bachelor's attendant, is in charge of the imperial court, and his status can be imagined.

The Imperial Academy here has to follow the lead of the king who is not an official.

But... Although Hanlin obeyed Wang Bushi's words, he was more or less unconvinced.

Instead of reading the books of the sages, I read The Wealth of Nations. No matter how powerful the theory of the wealth of nations is, it is still not as good as the books of the sages.

Perhaps, it was because of hugging Fang Jifan's thigh.

Hanlin is noble, and they value their reputation more than the sky. Even if Wang Bushi is a superior, they dare not disobey the superior's order, but as long as they are on duty, they try their best to have any negotiations with Wang Bushi.

On duty today, everyone whispered about the railroad track.

It just so happened that a deputy envoy of the Secretary of General Administration came to deliver official documents, and when he came in, he met Wang Bushi first.

Wang Bushi just nodded, he was writing an imperial edict, writing like wind, he didn't bother to talk to the envoy, but the envoy said, "I heard that the prince is taking over the land and mansion in the old city recently."

In fact, what Wang Bushi bought is almost the same, 170,000 to 80,000 taels of silver, and dozens of pieces of land have been purchased, and there are already 700 to 800 mu.

In addition, he also collected some of the worthless land in the outer city, and those lands were even less valuable.

Wang Bushi has almost collected it, but there seems to be some power in the dark, and it seems to be buying like crazy, but... the price has been maintained at this amount, and if it exceeds this amount, he will never sell it, which leads to the old city. The house price has gradually turned from a downward trend, but there is no hope of an increase.

Wang Bushi returned

With tens of thousands of taels of silver, for a while, there was no land worth buying any more.

Of course, Wang Bushi didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he still released the news, if anyone wants to sell the house, they can pay attention.

It's just that... the person who came forward to buy it was a certain merchant, and this person... was the one who pushed him to the front of the stage.

And the people from the General Administration Department suddenly pointed it out.

Wang Bushi stopped writing and glanced at him.

The nearby Hanlin people working with their heads down looked up and looked at Wang Bushi in astonishment.

Wang Bushi wanted to deny it flatly.

He is a Hanlin official, so there is really no need to expose himself to the public.

But the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department smiled and said: "Many people in Beijing have spread the word. You asked a merchant named Zhang Jian to buy the land in the old city on your behalf. That Zhang Jian drank with people, and he slipped his mouth."

Wang Bushi: "..."

He wished he could slap that Zhang Jian twice on the ear.

He made up his mind: "Yes, the old man still has some thoughts about the old city. It is becoming more and more deserted there. He just thinks that his children will always study in the future. If they are far away, they can't rest assured. If they live in the new city , and I was afraid that they would fail to learn from others, so I bought some land in the old city, so that they can study in the future."

"In order to study, Wang Xueshi really took great pains. But..." The envoy said with a smile: "Does reading need hundreds or even thousands of acres of land?"

The Hanlins were startled and started whispering immediately.

Where is this reading? It is absolutely impossible to read, throwing your wealth and life into it.

This Bachelor Wang actually has so much money? Where did he get his money?

Not only that, this sudden acquisition of so many lands in the old city... this...

On Wang Bushi's face, he looked extraordinarily calm, he only smiled slightly and glanced at the pair: "Not only that, the old man also wants to take some..."

The deputy envoy was taken aback.

The others were also stunned.

Why... What's the news about Wang Bushi?

Wang Bushi smiled slightly and said: "Didn't you say that the old city needs to pave a road in the new city? I see, the houses in the old city are going to rise."

When everyone heard this, from the original suspicion, they couldn't help laughing all of a sudden.

An old waiter smiled: "Scholar Wang, this statement is wrong. The old city and the new city seem to be laying some... some railway tracks... There is nothing wrong with that. But is this thing called a road? Besides Well, even if it’s a road, it’s nothing special. You know, the price of houses in Dingxing County has risen because the land itself is worthless. The road was suddenly built, and the price naturally skyrocketed. But... the situation in the old city, But it's totally different, I think this old city is hopeless, and it's deserted there, the old man happened to be there a few days ago, and weeds grew in many places."

Many people also nodded their heads.

When it comes to the study of houses, in fact, Hanlins are free and often communicate in private.

This old city, if it does not fall, is Amitabha, if it rises, it does not exist.

But Wang Bushi said with a dull face: "Oh, I will obey and be taught."

He only said that he was obedient and obedient, but the sarcasm was obvious. I am a bachelor in the Imperial Academy, and I need you to teach me whether I should buy land and houses in the old city?

The attendant was originally joking, but his face blushed when he heard the words "Jin Zun and Teach".

this……

He was a little angry: "It just so happens that the old man also has some land in the inner city. He wanted to sell it, but the price was a bit higher, three hundred and seventy taels of silver per mu. The broker said that the price was probably difficult. Selling, it was not easy to buy this house back then. The old man thought to himself, this price is expensive, but after all, it is just a thought. If it is not at this price, the old man really does not want to sell. But since Xueshi Wang wants to accept it, it might as well Three hundred and fifty taels of silver per mu, Xueshi Wang took care of it himself, at the beginning, it was also a prosperous place, but now... it's a little bit more depressed, but it's still more than 30 mu..."

This attendant was obviously from a family with confidence, so he could buy such a big house in the inner city. He gambled in his heart and said, "You want it, it's just right, I'll give it to you."

Wang Bushi thought for a while: "Okay, then buy it, and the delivery will be made today. The goods are two days behind, and the value is paid. Go ask for a guarantor. The old man has the money."

When the other Hanlin listened, some were speechless, some were tempted, some were thoughtful, and some were just watching the excitement.

"Ahem, Xueshi Wang, there are actually a few acres at the Xiaguan's place, how about you..."

"Xiaguan has..."

This kind of land with unknown future prospects, if you keep it in your hands, it is like a hot potato. The reason why you are reluctant to sell it is because you really can’t sell it for any price. Dream big.
