Chapter 991: Getting Rich Overnight
It's an amazing feeling.
Everyone is drunk, and I am sober.
Looking at this group of people who were still discussing the pros and cons with great interest, twisting their beards and quoting scriptures, Wang Bushi wanted to laugh a little.
Sending His Majesty back to the palace, everyone returned to the waiting room with great interest.
Wang Bushi, as usual, explained: "In Your Majesty's dictation, the holy decree to be drafted, Yan Shixue, you write a draft first, and I will read it later." ”
Yan Xi couldn't help but complain: "Bachelor Wang, the old man is old, eh, I just went out to toss again, and I have already had back pain, this is ...... This ......"
This Yan Xi relied on the old and sold the old, in front of Wang Bushi, although he was a lower official, he regarded himself as an elder.
No one in the yamen likes such people.
It's just that you can't do anything about him.
After all, there is an old man in the Ya, if he has a treasure, if he is harsh because of this, he will appear to be harsh to others, and he may be regarded as a cool official.
Wang Bushi only pursed his lips, his temper was surprisingly good, and he seemed to be accustomed to the atmosphere in the edict room: "Okay, then I'll write it myself." ”
So he prepared the pen and ink, and lifted the pen, but instead of dipping it in the ink, he began to mutter.
Yan Xi stole his free time, so he sat on the side, drank tea, and said to a few other idle Hanlin: "I heard it, this steam locomotive, I'm afraid that it will cost more than 20 million taels of silver, eh, how many people are not clothed, think about it, it's really uncomfortable, 20 million taels of silver to the old man, how many people can the old man save." ”
"Yes, yes......" everyone sighed.
"This is a waste of money and labor, and we should be the book...... Impeachment is brutal. ”
"I'm afraid there is a lot of money this cost, and it was given privately by His Majesty."
"Ah, if that's the case......" Yan Xi looked angry: "Although it is the internal silver, it has nothing to do with the treasury, but the internal money is also taken from the people's fat and people's ointment, but in the end, it is such a flashy thing, His Royal Highness the Prince, such a great achievement, it is really worrying." ”
One by one, they showed their indignation, and they were eager to tear down the railroad tracks, and then use them to exchange the broken copper and iron for silver, and then do something beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood.
Wang Bushi still bowed his head and drafted the edict.
He didn't hold back a little, to be honest, he really couldn't stand it with these people.
If it weren't for Wang Bushi, who would have been accustomed to being ridiculed, and would have learned to be taciturn, after all, ...... He used to be the scum of the world, but I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore.
But now, when he was about to put down the pen, his wrist flicked, so the tip of the pen dipped in ink shook off some ink and shaded it on the white paper.
He is very unaccustomed to the prince and Fang Duwei, your uncle, you hack me, I hate you for the rest of my life.
However, after listening to the words of these people, Wang Bushi felt that the prince and Fang Duwei were just black-hearted, but these people were stupid enough to make people want to pick up pen, ink, paper and inkstone to stone them.
It's just these people who occupy the important position of Hanlin Jin.
Wang Bushi pretended to write calmly, and said: "It's not a good achievement, the weight of this car is so large, the capacity is amazing, it is like a canal, and now it connects the new city and the old city, which is of great benefit to the whole Jingshi as a whole." ”
Everyone heard that Wang Bushi was singing the opposite tune, and they were disgusted in their hearts.
Everyone is Hanlin, and they are all backbones, so you can't be afraid of you just because you Wang Bushi is a Shangguan.
Yan Xi couldn't help but say in a weird 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, is the distance between the new city and the old city shortened? Originally, the distance between them was forty miles, but now, it is only three or five miles, and this is the effect of the steam train. In addition, in the Wealth of Nations, there is also an effect, called 'economies of scale', if the two places are far apart, resources can not be dispatched, then they can only do their own thing, but once the two places are integrated, the population will be equivalent to, at the same time more than doubled, wealth, naturally will increase dramatically, you know what I mean? There is no difference between the new city and the old city, the old city is the new city, and the new city is the old city, they have become one. ”
Everyone still doesn't understand.
I just think 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 I'm going to fall into the devil." ”
Wang Bushi raised his head and stared at Yan Xi, he was silent for a moment: "It's nothing wrong to be demonic." ”
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
A Hanlin muttered in a low voice: "Because I fell into the devil, I ran to the old city and bought worthless land, and fortunately Master Wang was willing to buy it, otherwise, I am afraid that no one will want the land I am waiting for." ”
Everyone laughed one after another, this land sale, for them, is really a stroke of genius, this joke, you can laugh at Wang Bushi, a guy who has been obsessed with it for a year.
Wang Bushi raised his head suddenly, and suddenly there was a wave of anger.
In the past, he was laughed at as the scum of the world, but he could bear it, but to be honest, being abused by this group of fools made him grow his temper, and he stared at Na Hanlin deadly.
Hanlin seemed a little frightened, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
When the others saw it, they said: "Master Wang, you have to be magnanimous, he is just joking, why can't he be so joking." ”
"Yes, yes, Master Wang must not be angry, he is an official in the same dynasty, what is there to be angry about."
Wang Bushi's eyes slowly softened, and he picked up the pen, looking irrelevant to himself and wanting to continue to be busy with his official business.
But when these Hanlin saw this, they all frowned.
Yan Xi drank tea while showing a comfortable look.
But at this moment, a scribe hurriedly came: "Eh, lords, who has a mansion in the old city?" ”
These idle Hanlin people all raised their heads, and as soon as they heard about the old city, they all subconsciously looked at Wang Bushi.
Wang Bushi was calm, but he was still slightly surprised, the businessmen's movements were really too fast. He said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Outside the Hanlin Academy, some people are anxious to ask everywhere, and the students see that the princes of the Hanlin Academy are discussing, so they enter the palace to see if there is anyone who wants to sell the edict here."
"Huh?" A Hanlin said: "What, someone outside the palace bought land and real estate in the old city?" ”
The scribe said, "Isn't it?" Zhugong, it is like this, it is said that the railway terminal is there, and it has been announced that the railway ticket from the old city to the new city, a total of thirteen stations, from one station to the next station, all the fare of the same money, even if it is from the beginning to the end, it is only thirteen dollars. As soon as the news came out, the merchants of the Manjing Division went crazy...... I also heard that Xishan Jianye has plans in the old city to carry out large-scale groundbreaking, not only theaters, schools, railway stations, but also residences and markets...... Oh, every station, there is also a commercial street, and in the future, there will be not only a railway line, but also an asphalt road, ten lanes...... In short, what is in the new city, there, everything, not to mention that the old city is already popular, and if you build a house, you don't have to worry about selling. ”
Everyone gasped.
That Yan Xi's heart suddenly cast a shadow.
Isn't it, just because of a railway?
For a penny, you can take a stop, which is extremely low for anyone who works.
But......
The scribe said: "There are rumors outside, saying that there are many craftsmen and merchants in Beijing, as well as wealthy people, there is no housing yet, not to mention, in the past, there were not many people who sold the land in the old city, but in the new city, and they couldn't afford to buy a house, now it's okay, the old city is so developed, this Xishan Jianye will spread the news, and many people are inquiring about the price and want to buy it." Because of this, now some businessmen are taking this opportunity to ask everywhere if there is anyone in the old city, just taking this opportunity, you can follow Xishan Jianye and make a fortune. Right now...... The land of the old city has tripled! ”
Thrice......
Yan Xi and the others, their faces turned green with fright.
Especially Yan Xi, he sold Wang Bushi thirty acres of land, and only got a total of two taels of silver from Wang Bushi.
But between these hands, I lost a few thousand taels?
Groove ......
A few thousand taels, that's not a small amount.
The others were also suddenly pale as paper......
Wang Bushi was extremely calm, staring at the scribe: "Three times the price, you want to buy it?" I'm afraid this businessman is crazy, right? ”
"It's crazy, I heard that no one is willing to sell it so far, they all say that it will rise, and some people say that they are afraid that it will rise tenfold, and no one is willing to sell."
The scribe looked at Wang Bushi with admiration.
Wang Bushi was silent for a moment, but said lightly: "No, not only ten, twenty times, at least this number...... You wait and see, tomorrow, the price is afraid that it will reach ten times, and within half a month, it will definitely reach twenty times, so you go and advise those princes who have land in their hands, so that they don't rush to make a move, don't get dizzy. ”
Twenty times ......
Yan Xi sighed in his heart......
Now he doesn't think Wang Bushi is crazy, because in fact, Wang Bushi is ...... Obviously came prepared, and look at his calm appearance, nine times out of ten...... Twenty times as much.
I sold 30 acres of land, and one mu was only 500 taels, doesn't this mean that I have lost money...... Lost...... Nearly 300,000 taels of silver......
300,000 ...... Two pieces of silver......
What a number this is.
I actually passed by the huge rich.
"Ahh Yan Xi suddenly touched his head, and his heart was extremely sad and angry, and he felt a splitting headache, and before he had time to cry bitterly, he was dizzy.
But at this time, the other Hanlin were all trembling, their teeth were trembling, Yan Xi lost the most, but the others did not lose less.
Where can they take care of Yan Xi, they want to find a place, and they can be killed.
However, the scribe was kind-hearted, stepped forward quickly, pinched Yan Xi's people, and said: "Yan Shixue, Yan Shixue, you wake up, you wake up......
Yan Xi woke up slowly, his eyes were confused, but suddenly a memory flooded into his mind, and immediately, a feeling of extreme pain spread throughout his body, so he shook his head again, and fainted in pain!
