Hanlin, who was being teased, held back his face and felt ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Ashamed.

But Wang Bushi was still able to tell the difference between the serious and the serious, but he hurriedly threw his arms around him and bowed to him, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, Brother Liu..."

This Hanlin surnamed Liu shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's because I'm stupid and stupid."

After all, he sighed.

When it comes to houses, it seems that these colleagues always have endless topics to talk about.

So-and-so's old house was sold, and so-and-so bought a new building. They didn't buy it for 18,000 taels of silver at the beginning, but they had to wait until the price rose to 25,000 taels before they bought it in a remote place.

Some people cheered, some people sighed.

"I heard it's going to go up." Someone lowered his voice: "Recently, near the trade market, house prices have risen by 40% in a blink of an eye. I heard that many merchants from Jiangnan and Guanzhong are running here. Think about it. Look, there have been thousands of merchants gathered there, and now the momentum is huge."

"Who knows if the imperial court will ban the trade market in the future? It is uncertain. I heard that the price of pig iron is skyrocketing."

Wang Bushi just smiled, he no longer has much interest in Xincheng.

It's not that the future of Xincheng has reached its peak, but in his opinion, if you want to make huge profits, you must not wait for someone to make a lot of money before you realize it later. To put it bluntly, this is called, eating x is not as hot as it is.

But many people are very proud of this, shaking their heads and talking about the housing prices in the new city.

One of them said: "This year, the old man has sold all the land in his hometown. Hey, people say that people who leave their hometowns are cheap. At the beginning, when they were nominated for the gold list and came to the capital, they thought that they would become scholars in the future. Begging for old people to return to their hometowns to take care of their old age, but now I know that today is different from the past. The old house is so different from the new city. The most important thing is that the children and grandchildren will study in the future. It is not obvious yet Is it? For the students of Xishan Academy, the chances of high school are too high. If children want to have a future, it is better to enter Xishan Enlightenment School when they are young. If they stay in the countryside, even if they invite someone to teach, it will still be a little bit less interesting. Then The reporter said, but now... the land in this country is getting worse every year. I heard that many young and strong people either ask for lower rent, or they run to this new city with their families and food. And high yield, the food price can’t rise, what’s the point of hoarding land for rent.”

He shook his head: "Forget it, old man, so much land is rented out for people, and the one-year rent may not be as high as converting these into silver and depositing them in the Xishan Bank. Compared with the profits brought about by rising house prices, it is even worse. Instead of letting the children of the clan stay in their hometown, it is better to come to Beijing. Once the fields and houses in this township are sold, it will be easier. , I just hope that my disciples can live up to their expectations, even though they have left their hometown, they can still make a name for themselves in this capital.”

Many people were moved with emotion after hearing his words.

In Ningbo, there is large-scale fishing of sea fish, and the output of this fishery is extremely high. At the same time, the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes has already caused food prices to fall again and again. The household registration and guide system in the early Ming Dynasty had already collapsed, and no one cared about it.

To be honest, the government didn't dare to control it too much. There are enough refugees in the world. If the suppression is too much, once it is reversed, it is not a joke.

As for the lords in the court, this... is also a contradiction. They can't come up with a single one to prevent the loss of people, become refugees, and eventually become coolies and craftsmen in the new city, become miners in the Hexi Corridor, and become workshops. Facts about the workers here.

Some people, of course, yelled because of the sharp drop in land prices in their hometowns, and some people bought a house in the new city. If this is too hard to prevent, there is not enough labor to start work in the new city, and there are so many workshops. If they cannot start work, Their interests will also be damaged.

Under such contradictory psychology, everyone has their own plans. Some people want to fight for something, some simply keep silent, and some shout loudly, saying that the ceremony is broken and the music is broken, but they dare not be the first bird.

This is a change that everyone thinks is grotesque. No one can understand it. It is driven by such an inexplicable trend.

Although after buying a house, some people regretted it. Looking back, something was wrong. I sold thousands of acres of land in my hometown in exchange for a house with several acres of land in the new city. This dog-like thing surnamed Fang, how does it feel? A huge scam.

But... what can I do.

The days go on.

Life has made a choice.

So, I had no choice but to go one way, walk into the darkness, blow the whistle, and give myself courage.

However, Wang Bushi continued to remain silent. He seemed to have an abacus in his mind, quickly calculating the amount of money he could borrow, as well as the freezing point of housing prices and land prices in the old city, as well as future expectations, which involved his wealth and life. Ah, don't be careless.

He heard sighs one after another, and some people beat their chests and feet. Of course, some people were smiling, but they couldn't help but want to laugh. Sometimes, I really envy you who can't understand anything, but can't help being called Fang and dog. People who have tied their things to the car don't understand anything, so don't worry about it.

………………

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at the two guys.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "I am very pleased that you have done a good job."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, where, where, my son is just..."

But Fang Jifan said loudly: "Your Majesty must not say such a thing. This is all because of His Majesty's sageness. Your Majesty has sharp eyes and can recognize the talents of His Royal Highness at a glance. Otherwise, how could he entrust such a heavy responsibility to the Prince, and His Royal Highness , and lived up to His Majesty's expectations, but in the final analysis, it is because of His Majesty's knowledge of people. My son thinks he is smart every time, and sometimes he is complacent and thinks he is smart, but occasionally, he thinks that he is smart. How to display the so-called cleverness of my son? As soon as I think about it, I feel terrified. Isn't it because His Majesty strategized, grasped the overall situation, and put the minister and His Highness the Crown Prince in the right position every time? Is this the result? Only then did Erchen realize that Erchen and the crown prince are just a chess piece. In the right position, my son... bathed in the emperor's grace, overjoyed, the so-called credit is nothing but His Majesty's strategic arrangement..."

Zhu Houzhao groaned in his heart, you have said everything that should be said, what should I say?

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "My son thinks the same way."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Xiao Jing put on a grimace, and tried hard to recite the words just now, only regretting that he couldn't take out a pen and paper in front of his face, to write it down, to write it down, this flattery is more advanced.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Fang Qing's family, I've said it."

Fang Jifan said eloquently: "It is absolutely not exaggerating. This is what I think from the bottom of my heart. I can swear to the sky. If I don't think so, Xishan Academy will never leave chickens and dogs. Xiao Jingxiao, who I most admire Father-in-law, ten thousand arrows pierced the heart, sores all over his body, and he died of pus. After death, he went to the underworld and was still a eunuch. In the next life, he was reincarnated, and he would still be a eunuch. He will have no children and grandchildren for life after life!"

Xiao Jing trembled, and immediately looked at Emperor Hongzhi with grievance.

Emperor Hongzhi had already heard about Xiao Jing and Fang Jifan's disagreement.

but……

He doesn't care about it.

Fang Jifan actually doesn't care, what's wrong with scolding you Xiao Jing face to face?

Furthermore, as a relative of the emperor, if he still wears a pair of trousers with the eunuchs and eunuchs who are beside the emperor, it will make people easily wary.

I call you a dead eunuch every now and then, and it still seems that Fang Jifan is innocent and an upright person.

Well, thinking about it this way, I will work harder in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Yes, yes." Fang Jifan was ashamed, as if he was being educated.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and said: "This time, although you have made great achievements, I am still worried. In the arsenal, so many weapons have disappeared. What about the other warehouses, I am really worried. I can't bear to investigate, and I don't dare to investigate, if I continue to investigate, I will perish."

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Father, there is nothing to investigate. If you dare not investigate, it will make these damn house thieves even more rampant. Why don't you just investigate to the bottom of the sky, and if you don't break it, you will not establish it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan: "What do Fang Qing's family think about this?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "If you want to investigate, if your majesty can't know yourself and the enemy, how can you expect to create a world of great rule in the future, but you need to investigate, but you can't rush, step by step, first investigate secretly, and then see who should Disposal, which things need to be cut quickly, or..."

"This is a statement to seek the country." Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao: "You should study hard, I will punish you..."

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Your minister is wronged, what did I do wrong, my father didn't listen to anything before I finished speaking, in fact... my minister was already prepared, and said in my heart, The emperor checked the arsenal this time, and he would definitely think, what about the arsenal, what about the other warehouses, so my ministers and Fang Jifan racked their brains to come up with a rough charter, how did it come to Fang Jifan's mouth, it was a talk of seeking the country..."

Without further ado, Zhu Houzhao took out a memorial from his sleeve: "Father, please read, this is the constitution of my son!"

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that this guy...has even prepared this?

The prince... actually has a charter... Is it reliable?
