Chapter nine hundred and eighty: Guangzong Yaozu
Hanlin Academy Attendant Room.
A quick report was delivered urgently.
This is a memorial, which was reported by Shuntian Prefecture, saying that the railway tracks have been laid.
But no one knows what the rail is to do and what its use is.
But at least, this matter has finally passed.
Shuntian Mansion doesn’t care what the use of this railway track is.
They only knew that during the laying of railway tracks, Shuntian Mansion was worried and afraid all day long.
This is the railway track of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is placed on the ground in a blatant manner. Although it is fixed, there are special road protection teams to patrol. But how dare Shuntian Mansion be neglected? If there are really some unlucky people who stole the railway tracks a few pieces, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is furious. How can Shuntian Mansion explain?
But this thing cannot be eaten or drunk. Can it be placed here to get wet in the wind and rain?
Shuntian Mansion means that you are asking Your Majesty to decide.
But what did Your Majesty decide? He left the memorial directly, and did not give Shuntian Mansion a clear letter.
This railway track costs countless silver, which is said to be astronomical. Thinking about it, I feel really distressed. It is impossible to dismantle it, so Your Majesty has to refuse to comment.
All memorials that are left behind must be sent to the Attendant Room.
In the attendant room, the Hanlin people performed their duties.
Wang Bushi, a scholar-study student, lowered his head to sort out the edict as usual.
In my spare time, I start writing and write down my own experience.
All the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver I borrowed were bet on. So far... no news has been heard. This is his own wealth and life. If you can devote yourself to it, Wang Bushi has been trying hard to do it. If he said that he was not at all nervous, it would be fake.
Especially as time goes by, the more anxious he appears.
This anxiety was written directly on the face, causing secret speculation from colleagues.
Of course, more people are making jokes, isn't it worth it? Haha, he actually bought so much land in the old city. It is said that the money was borrowed and he would not pay it back within a deadline, so he would die without a burial place. But he went to buy the land in the old city with the real money.
There are various rumors among the Hanlin people. Some people say that Wang Bushi spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy land, while others say it was 200,000. There are many different opinions. Some people questioned the origin of Wang Bushi's silver...
At this moment, someone suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, the railroad tracks have been laid!"
The person who spoke was the old servant Yan Xi. Yan Xi had been an official all his life and was an old man. He adhered to the doctrine of the mean and treated others humbly. Compared with Wang Bushi, who was incompatible with others, he had much better popularity.
After Yan Xi said that many Hanlin people were excited.
The railway tracks spread all over the capital. I don’t know what it is for, and I have everything I say. I didn’t expect that it was finally completed.
Yan Xi stroked his beard, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Donalds, this is a memorial from Shuntian Mansion. It is said that it has been completed and the memorial was sent to the cabinet. The memorial did not draw a ticket, which obviously also felt it was difficult. So, the memorial was sent to Your Majesty again, and your Majesty was left directly. It seems that... there is no idea about it."
"I heard that the railway track cost tens of millions of taels of silver, but it's true?"
"God knows, this iron is so precious, but His Highness the Crown Prince and the Commander Fang, have laid them on the ground like stones. To be honest, who doesn't feel sorry for seeing it? If you have money, you won't be defeated like this."
Someone grinds his teeth: "Silver, where does this silver come from? It's not a folk paste."
When it comes to folk fat and folk cream, everyone feels a pain like cutting their flesh. This "minister" is not an ordinary "minister". He should not expect to buy a mansion in the new city.
After all, this is the flesh cut by His Highness the Crown Prince and Commander Fang, but they don’t know how to cherish it at all.
Yan Xi seemed steady and said sternly: "Okay, be careful."
He said he was cautious, but he looked at Wang Bushi at the corner of his eyes.
Others got it.
Yan Shixue means, be careful when speaking, be careful of the walls, and there is a "traitor" around us.
As for who the 'traitor' is, it's self-evident.
Wang Bushi obviously heard the voice-over.
As soon as he heard that the rails were paved, even he didn't know the purpose of the rails. However, he didn't know that it did not mean that he did not realize the value of the rails. It must be related to short selling of land prices in the old city.
It seems...what should be coming.
Although Wang Bushi did not show any expression on his face, he was extremely excited.
But at this time, when the colleagues looked at his face, it was obvious that... it was a bit subtle.
Wang Bushi frowned and said lightly: "No matter how much money it costs to lay the railway tracks, at least, so much pig iron has become railway tracks, trees, and sleepers. So many craftsmen have worked hard for days. Finally, they have a salary and a bite of food to eat. This may not be a bad thing."
Yan Xi and others sneered at this, but when it comes to economics, who is his opponent, at least in terms of verbal words, they cannot take advantage of Wang Bushi.
A young Hanlin was a little dissatisfied and said, "The land and mansion that Mr. Wang acquired in the old city, and the official heard that it fell again."
The others suddenly winked and sold the land from the old city to Wang Bushi. Everyone was relieved, at least they didn't have to worry about the land and housing prices in the old city, and they felt... so at ease.
Now that all these hot potatoes have been thrown to Wang Bushi, isn’t it a great pleasure?
"Well..." Wang Bushi's face looked very calm. He said lightly: "That's the case. In the past few days, the market has been particularly bad. It has fallen a little, not much, and 10% is still a little worse."
“…”
This tone was like Wang Bushi losing a string of copper coins, which was light.
Na Yan Xi said in surprise: "The outside world said that Mr. Wang spent 100,000 taels of silver to purchase the land in the old city. In addition to the real estate we have, we have also collected a lot."
"Not 100,000." Wang Bushi looked at them with a smile. When he denied that he had spent 100,000, he could clearly see that many people showed disappointment on their faces. Wang Bushi immediately said, "It's 230,000 taels of silver. To be honest, I have indeed bought some properties in the new city with the east wind of the new city, and then used the house in the new city as collateral, so I barely borrowed the money."
Two Thirty Thousand Thousand Taxis...
Everyone took a breath, and now it was confirmed, everyone felt at ease. Some wanted to make fun of him, while others looked at Wang Bushi like a monster.
And Wang Bushi said: "What, is there any problem?"
Everyone winked at the eyes, but shook their heads: "No, no, Mr. Wang is so courageous."
Yan Xi was happy: "I wish Mr. Wang a good place to be full of gold and jade!"
Wang Bushi smiled: "Thank you all the good words!"
This is not a good word, it is irony.
But when faced with sarcasm, Wang Bushi had already gotten used to it, so he smiled as if he turned a deaf ear to him.
When a person reaches a higher level, he still cares about it. He is so quick to talk with short-sighted people. It is better to think more about how to keep doubling the resources in his hands.
But for many Hanlins, they are willing to sit and watch the development of the situation.
Will this Wang Bushi run away with seals and disappear in order to avoid debts?
……………………
The next morning.
Zhu Houzhao was already wearing new clothes, and early in the morning, she felt Renshou Palace.
I haven't seen my great-grandson for a long time. When I saw him, the Empress Dowager became happy and was a little angry: "Do you still remember the Ai family?"
Zhu Houzhao gave a tribute in a regular manner: "Even if my great-grandmother turned into ashes, Sun Chen remembers it."
“…”
Sometimes, the Empress Dowager was very convinced that this great-grandson turned into ashes. This...it sounds really...
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager would not care about the unscrupulous words of her descendants. She still smiled: "After saying that, what's the matter? Come close first, Ai's family will see you."
Zhu Houzhao got up and stepped forward. The Empress Dowager looked at him lovingly. Zhu Houzhao said, "Great-grandmother is really a wise man. When he saw Sun Chen, he knew that Sun Chen had something to do. Sun Chen came to announce good news to his great-grandmother?"
"Announce the good news?" The Empress Dowager stared at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Where does the joy come from?"
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Do you remember that Sun Chen has been studying the moving car in the past two years. To be honest, Sun Chen has made this moving car. Great-grandmother, you don't know that Sun Chen suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins for this. Look..."
He said, stretching out his calloused hands.
When the Empress Dowager Zhou saw him, he couldn't help frowning and felt distressed. He was a noble man in heaven, a crown prince, and his great-grandson.
Look at his hands, how much sin has this child suffered.
"But fortunately, thanks to the blessing of ancestors, great-grandmother and Sun Chen built this car. Today... is a happy day for opening the car. Great-grandmother, you see, this time, such an important thing, Sun Chen thought of you. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Great-grandmother. Such a great day is more festive than to pass the imperial examination and enter the bridal chamber. Sun Chen was thinking that it would be better to let the great-grandmother go and see it together. Great-grandmother loved Sun Chen the most when she was young."
"Ah." These words were pretty good, at least much better than turning into ashes.
Zhou nodded repeatedly: "What a good boy, it's rare that you still remember the Ai family."
"Since that's the case..." Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Great-grandmother, let's go out of the palace now. The auspicious time is coming."
"This..." Zhou was a little embarrassed.
Zhu Houzhao began to cheat: "Great-grandmother, you must go. It's too late. Car driver... Sun Chen has given instructions, we have to hurry up."
Zhou was soft-hearted, and the most important thing was that he could not stand the hard work of this treasure great-grandson: "It would be better to send someone to ask the emperor."
"No, if the father knows, he won't allow you to go, he's a little sensible." Zhu Houzhao said: "What's more, it's getting late."
Chapter completed!
