Chapter 69 Cool Heart

Next to the map of Jurong, Wang Siqi held a brush that was not stained with ink and pointed at it and said: "This...this...this! And this piece, I want all of these, Mr. Wang reported

Is the price good?”

Jurong County is rich in mineral resources. Wang Siqi has heard about this for a long time. Not only has he heard about it, but he also has an understanding of its general distribution. Therefore, it can be said that he had a premeditated plan when encircling the land.

Listening to Wang Siqi's plan, Wang Shu frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time.

Then he sighed and said: "Logically speaking...as the magistrate of Jurong County and the parents of the people...if I meet someone like you who wants to buy these places, he should be very eager to buy more places, and he is eager to sell more places.

Sell ​​more money and go out."

"But you know my son...nephew, these places you bought are really the most desolate places. What can you do with this place? Plant grass and herd sheep?"

It's not surprising that Wang Shu said this. Jurong County is not small, and it is considered a relatively large county in the entire Shuntian Prefecture.

There are many mountains but little land.

The life of the common people was not good, but now Wang Siqi took the initiative to spend money to buy these barren mountains and mountains that seemed to have no use at all. This made Wang Shu feel that even though his heart could not stop throbbing, he still felt that he could not do this.

Wang Siqi was tricked.

Who knows, these words made Wang Siqi shake his head like a rattle, and then said: "Whether it is a loss or a profit, Baoyuan Bureau... they are all considered nephews. The county magistrate just sets a price."

Already."

See Wang Siqi is so persistent.

Wang Shu thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that there is no such easy money in the world, let alone such a good opportunity that comes to his door.

"Ten thousand taels!"

When he said these three words, Wang Shu felt extremely guilty, like a child who secretly stole the candy from the closet and ate it before the New Year.

It took a lot of effort not to secretly glance at Wang Siqi's position with his peripheral vision.

Then I heard Wang Siqi say loudly: "Deal!"

...

Both men thought the other was crazy.

A person thinks that ten thousand taels of silver can buy those mountains that are comparable to gold mines. Compared with the income, the ten thousand taels of silver paid is just the profit of Baoyuan aging for a few days, which is really nothing.

On the other side, Wang Shu already felt that he could not understand the world.

Complete the necessary procedures.

"My little nephew...from now on, the places designated before belong to you completely. Of course...you can't say that I don't take care of you at all."

"I have specially prepared a place for you on the edge of Jurong County. If it really doesn't work, you can still... well, try to find a way to make a living."

The implication behind the words is that you have spent so much money, and I am afraid that you will go bankrupt tomorrow and die suddenly on the street. Although the money belongs to the court... but when you spend so much money, it will have your name Wang Siqi written on it.

who knows.

Wang Siqi just smiled and said: "Then I would like to thank the county magistrate for his kindness. Maybe one day the land sold to me by the county magistrate will also have new miracles?"

"Then...nephew, please walk slowly?"

"Not sending..."

After leaving the door, Wang Yihuan couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Sir, what on earth is going on... That's a whole ten thousand taels of silver, and you just gave it away to someone else?"

"Even if it's a bribe...my father is not worth ten thousand taels."

Seeing Wang Yihuan complaining about his injustice, Wang Siqi showed rare patience and explained.

"You do not understand..."

"Sir, I think I understand a little bit, but I still feel that even if there is a gold mine under these mountains, it cannot be said that it is definitely worth ten thousand taels of silver."

Wang Siqi smiled and said: "What if there really is a gold mine?"

Wang Yihuan: "...."

"???"

"Let's go back and find more people from Baoyuan Bureau. Don't waste the space your father gave you before. If it doesn't work anymore, build a school district housing."

"It's just that Jurong is too poor...but that's okay. The place is poor, so housing in the school district can be sold."

Sitting on the carriage and wearing brocade clothes, Wang Siqi looked like an official.

During the conversation.

Wang Yihuan, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but stare, "Master Wang... I'm really too stupid. I really don't know what this so-called school district room is?"

"The school district room is naturally close to the academy. When the time comes, you can build an academy in the middle of the land and decorate it more luxuriously..."

"Then the surrounding area is divided into school districts. The more expensive the house you buy, the closer it is to the academy. This is our ideal for children to go to school nearby!"

...

Inside the Ministry of Industry, Xu Min looked pale and looked at Wuzhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was sitting firmly, and couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

After a long while, he blurted out in disbelief: "My lord...does the emperor really want to merge the Baoyuan Bureau and the Baochao Tiju Division to become independent from the six departments?"

"This is a change to the ancestral system! Is there no minister in the court who objects to it?"

Wuzhong knew that this time the emperor's intention caused him to lose a lot of money for no reason, but the relative benefits were not something that could be seen immediately.

So Wuzhong didn't really care.

When it's gone, it's gone.

I only heard him write lightly: "What does the emperor mean? Is it possible for us to guess? Since the emperor has said it, then this matter is already settled."

"Besides, the imperial edict has been sent out. I'm afraid the merger will be completed in a few days..."

Xu Min did not give up.

Asked again.

"Sir... what about the money that Baoyuan Bureau had before? That money was all earned by Baoyuan Bureau when it was at the Ministry of Works. Wang Siqi had already promised to hand over all the money to the Ministry of Works. But now

What should we do?”

"When did you actually still think about money?"

Wuzhong shook his head. Although Xu Min was one of his people, he sometimes used unscrupulous means to make money and would not let go of the opportunity.

Of course... this is also related to the fact that there are not many places where the Ministry of Industry can make money.

It would probably be much more convenient if it were in a place like the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"I can't help but think about it... Such a large amount of money can't be left to the Baoyuan Bureau in vain, right? How can such a small place get so much money?"

After all, Xu Min is still greedy.

Wuzhong could only say with some bitter consolation: "It's a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing. Let's take it lightly... The emperor got a little angry this time because of this incident."

"Otherwise...how can the ministers in the DPRK be so easy to get along with?"
