Chapter 1187: The Rich Rival the Country

With money, the things of this world will be easy to do.

The railway has been previously explored.

Chang Wei, the chief engineer of Xishan Jianye, took the lead and began to make arrangements.

The craftsmen are ready-made, and in addition to a group of backbones, another group needs to be recruited.

And this railway, with Jingshi as the center, radiates outward.

The sites set up also need to be investigated.

Workshops began to work in shifts, and countless iron ores were transported to the steel mills, and finally, they became steel, and then, they became sections of railroad tracks.

Things were much easier than expected.

The terrain of the Gyeonggi area is all plains, and the difficulty of the construction is very low.

This is much better than in the south, which is full of water networks, lakes, and mountains, and at the moment, there is no technology to build railway bridges.

In order to show the emperor that he attached great importance to the construction of the railway and was worthy of His Majesty's huge investment, Fang Jifan personally led the students of Xishan Engineering College to survey along the line, which took seven or eight days.

On the other hand, the stock of the railway began to rise wildly.

Because of all this...... It's much faster than the previous businessmen expected.

Everyone thought that the construction of the railway was bound to be an extremely long cycle. It's like the short stretch of railroad between the new city and the old city. In just a short section, it took almost a year.

How did they know that this first section of the railway was difficult at the beginning, but now, after passing through the new city and the old city railway, a team of engineers, technicians, and ready-made experience have been trained.

The first section of rails has already been laid.

The news obtained from the preparatory office is that the mode of starting construction in stages is now adopted, which means that it may take one year to complete the construction.

After a year, it is even possible to make a profit.

The construction of the railway made the stations along the coast suddenly hot.

The land price in Beijing is really unattainable, and many businessmen began to set their sights on Baoding and Tongzhou.

There are even rumors that the railway will have a platform, directly in the Tongzhou Canal, and there will be a freight terminal in the Tongzhou Canal.

What does this mean?

Now, many people have come back to it.

Tongzhou and Baoding, the construction of railways, through the Beijing Division, these three points are connected to the canal, and the canal can be transported by water, directly to Shandong, South Zhili, Jiangnan ......

Not only that, but through the canal, you can also reach Tianjin Port, which is a port, even if the Ming Dynasty does not allow private trade in the sea, but only a large number of fleets going to the Western Ocean, and how many materials need to be purchased in Tianjin Port, and even ...... If the sea ban is to be relaxed...... So......

This...... It's definitely a big artery.

Under the influence of the Wealth of Nations, there are already countless people who still have a general understanding of the study of economics.

This is a golden road.

This freight alone is enough to make people salivate.

Not only that, the profitability of passenger transport will never be too low, the Gyeonggi area, is the largest population gathering area in the Ming Dynasty, the future population, I am afraid that there will be more and more, once the railway is built, this means that Tongzhou and Baoding, have almost become the suburbs of Beijing, and the time will ......

Previously... The price of the stock has doubled.

And some retail investors who bought sporadically felt that they had made a lot of money, so they began to release their stocks.

But this release, in the blink of an eye, was eaten.

Whereas...... Next, the stock still skyrocketed.

For the first time, the businessmen looked at the Yang line of the trading center, and had a feeling of looking forward to the ocean and sighing.

Dare to love yourself for working hard to earn this bit of silver, it is better for someone to buy a little stock, and then lie down and earn the silver.

A myth has been born.

Previously, there was news that Wang Bushi, a bachelor of Hanlin Waiter, had bought three million shares......

Now, almost all the businessmen are crazy and have begun to calculate Wang Bushi's wealth.

His stock was worth 7,900,000 taels of silver.

In less than ten days, he made a net profit of nearly four million taels of silver.

People sighed and felt that the world was crazy, and there was still such a way to play in the world.

Perhaps, outsiders sneered at Wang Bushi.

But for many businessmen, this Wang Bushi is simply a god-like existence.

Everyone knows that speculation makes you rich.

But who knows, this speculation is not just as simple as luck.

This requires not only a precise enough eyesight, but you can see the essence of the problem at a glance through countless false and real gossip.

And seeing through the essence, it is still light.

In this world, there will never be a shortage of smart people, who don't know how to make money by doing business, and who doesn't know that they can make a fortune when they buy a mansion.

So...... There is another thing, which is the difference between Wang Bushi and ordinary businessmen.

He dares to play, and he can afford to play.

Just when many people are still talking about making money from this thing.

People will directly three million taels, directly stud, without hesitation, without thinking.

And when everyone hesitated and decided to give it a try, in fact...... I have already missed this huge opportunity.

Guts...... Not everyone has it.

In the trading market, people continue to sing the legend of Wang Bushi.

In the Hanlin Courtyard, it was boiling.

People looked at Wang Bushi in awe, this guy ...... How much is my current net worth?

Even Shen Wen, a scholar, began to feel melancholy.

The stock brings impetuousness, the legend of getting rich overnight, so that countless people begin to move in their hearts, but unfortunately, although some people are ready to move, but they can't get it, so it is inevitable that their hearts will begin to become anxious.

I can't live my life.

Wang Bushi was still calm.

He was like an ordinary person.

Still...... Or drink tea, on duty, on duty.

The only difference is that he is now on duty, outside this Hanlin Courtyard, there is a team of carriages waiting for him, five carriages, twenty-five guards, plus five coachmen, four cars are empty, Wang Bushi will randomly choose one of them, so that even if he encounters a gangster, the gangster can't be sure which car he is in.

Take one car, four empty, this ......

Wang Bushi risked his waist and got into one of the carriages, the real power of these five carriages is not only that, the five horses, almost identical, the same size, the same hair, the five carriages, there is almost no difference...... This...... How much money it will cost?

The weather was a little cold.

Wang Bushi's convoy moved slowly.

And a group of Hanlin people, stamping their feet, with white breath in their mouths, stood at the door of the Hanlin Courtyard tremblingly, looking around, their hands in their sleeves, snorting and sniffing, their eyes hooked, staring at the distant convoy.

Everyone is envious, but what about ......

I can only fantasize in my heart.

"Humph!" Someone in the crowd shook their heads, revealing pride: "The gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor." ”

It seems that this sentence has given the other Hanlin enough spiritual strength.

Everyone nodded one after another, their waists stiffened from the cold, and straightened up a little.

Someone pinched his beard, looked at the snow in the sky, and couldn't help singing: "The north wind blows the snow at the beginning of the fourth watch, Jiarui Tianjiao and ......"

"Yikes." Someone was pleasantly surprised: "It's coming, it's coming, the public carriage is coming." ”

The man who recited the poem did not have time to finish the poem, and immediately cheered up, and everyone rushed towards the caravan.

No way.

Hanlin Yuan is bitter.

They are all Qingliu officials, they usually don't have much oil and water, and the amount given by the emperor is low.

Although the vast majority of people have a fairly solid family background, buying a house alone has almost emptied everyone's family funds. Not to mention, there's also that damn mortgage, which weighs everyone down, and they can't breathe.

In the past, everyone also wanted to be decent, so they could buy a carriage and hire a coachman. It can be found that the price of this coachman is getting more and more expensive, and the cost of manpower is too scary.

Nowadays, public carriages have become popular, and there are more and more people who are on duty in public carriages.

If you can't pay the mortgage, you will die without a place to be buried, at this time, what do you need to save money and face, you can save money, there is not so much attention.

Everyone rushed up, and the person who grabbed the seat immediately smiled, stroked his beard, shook his head, and those who didn't find a seat were like sardines, pushed and suffocated, and made ahhh

…………

"Young Master...... Young Master......" Wang Jinyuan hurriedly found Fang Jifan, and said breathlessly: "Young Master, that ...... That Wang Bushi came and said that he wanted to pay homage to the young master. ”

Fang Jifan will certainly not have a good impression of Wang Bushi.

Fang Jifan pursed his mouth slightly, then glanced at Wang Jinyuan, and snorted coldly from his mouth: "What is this dog thing for?" Well, please come to him. ”

Five carriages stopped steadily at the door of the Fang Mansion.

Then, Wang Bushi wore an old robe and looked like a thrifty poor bureaucrat, and walked into the room.

Seeing Fang Jifan, he smiled and saluted calmly: "Meet the Duke of Qi." ”

Fang Jifan sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Wang Bushi with his eyes, and said teasingly: "Don't patronize it, you should bow down." ”

Wang Bushi: "......"

This sentence of greeting is originally a courtesy, he is a bachelor of Hanlin Chamberlain, and the identity of Fang Jifan is not enough for him to really bow to the ground and make a big salute.

Who knew that Fang Jifan was so upright.

Wang Bushi smiled, did not bow down, but said gently: "The lower official came here, but he thanked the Duke of Qi and prepared a generous gift for the Duke of Qi." ”

Gift......

Fang Jifan looked left and right, looked up and down, what about the ceremony, no.

.....
