The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1139
[1139.Chapter 1088: Extreme Power]
Zhang Heling had no chance to explain.
In fact, he was physically weak.
After all… he is a vegetarian and a porridge drinker.
Although Mrs. Zhang Wang also accompanied her on simple meals, she could go back to her parents’ home every now and then.
So, Zhang Heling ran out of the house with a bloody head and a bloody head. His eyes were red. Zhang Yanling ran faster than him: “Brother…”
“Look for the guy named Wu. This bitch has no conscience and ate our bacon.” , let him spit it out.”
Zhang Heling bared his teeth.
But when they arrived at Warrior Bian’s mansion, they found that the place had been completely surrounded, the courtyard wall had been smashed, and a crowd of people rushed in. Warrior Bian’s life or death was uncertain.
Zhang Heling was a little confused. He couldn’t even catch the heat after eating.
He held the wound on his forehead and felt like he was going crazy.
He bared his teeth and said, “Beat that bitch named Wu to death. Let’s go and find the person named Fang to settle the score.”
Those people who were howling and shouting for beating and killing suddenly calmed down and looked at him with a strange look. Looking at Zhang Heling.
Zhang Heling stamped his feet and waved his hand: “Follow me.”
Unfortunately, the only person following him would always be his brother Zhang Yanling.
The two of them ran towards the west mountain.
………
In the Zhenguo Mansion.
Fang Jifan looked at the accounts. As the mansion increased, his spending power became particularly strong. Those who had sold their houses before all removed their signs. Those who were waiting and watching, like crazy, began to compete with the Japanese for houses.
Fang Jifan was not willing to sell good land easily. These lands should be left to his son to sell. The son could not sell them all, and he also had grandchildren. The grandsons could not sell them all… there would be endless descendants.
But even if the land was launched, it was poor quality land, and the price skyrocketed, but it was still crowded.
In just two or three days, 1,500 acres were sold.
But the market is still hot.
There are still a large number of Japanese people queuing up everywhere.
Not only that, but now many dignitaries are beginning to become unable to sit still.
If prices continue to rise like this, when will there be big houses to live in?
It has to be said that after more than a hundred years of stability, the Ming Dynasty has fallen into an extreme. The wealthy families spend a lot of money and the poor have no place to stand.
Although the new city has been under construction a few days ago and a lot of real estate has been sold, the real wealthy families have not yet begun to enter the market.
After all, it is not easy to fool these people.
My Ming Dynasty, although the national treasury has no money, those powerful people, Fang Jifan is not bragging. They have accumulated wealth for more than a hundred years, annexed countless lands, and monopolized countless businesses. They… are rich!
The value of money depreciated, and the value of the mansion continued to increase.
Its essence is to create anxiety in these people.
Seeing the wealth in his hands shrinking day by day, while the mansion becomes more and more valuable, no one else could sit still.
Now, people have started to enter.
Not only that, a large number of people who made their fortune from the sea brought back a lot of wealth, and at this time… they seemed to be tempted.
In this world, people have always bought up and not down. Once it falls, no one cares about it. But once it rises, there will never be a shortage of people to buy houses. They dare to buy as many houses as they want, even if their children and grandchildren owe them money. They are willing to take out countless loans, even if it means selling everything.
Thousands of people gather at the sales offices in Xincheng every day, but there are never enough houses released.
When he thought of this… Fang Jifan felt silly.
Fang Jifan doesn’t like money.
He is a man who is responsible for his family and his country.
What he always holds in his heart is this country and every single person here.
…
“Young Master… Young Master…”
Wang Jinyuan came over in a hurry.
He is very free now, after all…the seller gives him a stick of incense and rests for eleven hours.
“The Hou Ning Hou and the Uncle Jianchang are here. They are menacing and very scary.”
When Fang Jifan heard that the two uncles were coming, he was not only not worried, but also happy: “Ah, hurry up, go and greet them.”
At this time, A quarrel was heard outside, and within a moment, Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo rushed in.
Several guards also rushed in, seemingly sensing that the intruder was evil.
As soon as Zhang Heling saw Fang Jifan, he rushed towards him like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep: “Fang, I will fight with you…” Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back and smiled at him: “Uncle, how are you?
Do
you want to make a fortune together…”
No words have been spoken yet.
Zhang Heling’s spelling spelling was only half complete.
Zhang Heling had rushed to Fang Jifan, his face ferocious and full of anger.
But all of a sudden, the air became stagnant.
Behind him, Zhang Yanling shouted: “Who wants to listen to your nonsense, brother, let’s beat him to death.” After saying that, he stepped forward.
Zhang Heling’s face darkened, murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
He raised his hand, slapped it with his backhand, and fell hard on… Zhang Yanling’s face!
Zhang Yanling was stunned, covering her cheeks and looking at her brother in disbelief.
He felt aggrieved, didn’t he mean to beat Fang Jifan, a dog-like thing?
“Brother…”
Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling angrily: “You are a shameless bitch. If you beat your own juniors at any time, it’s disrespectful to your elders. Get out of here.”
“…”
Zhang Heling forced out a smile and looked at her. Fang Jifan smiled: “Hello, Jifan.”
Fang Jifan calmly said, “I’ve seen…”
“Just now, you said… get rich?” Zhang Heling’s eyes shone.
Although this bitch Fang Jifan was worse than a pig or a dog, Zhang Heling was convinced when it came to how he deceived and deceived him.
I worked hard to go to sea in search of gold and silver, and after all the hardships, I talked about huge profits at sea, but in the end, I was lying at home counting money, and the income I earned through hard work was not enough to sell hundreds of acres of land. Oh, no, if this trend continues, maybe… one hundred acres of land will not be available for purchase.
Fang Jifan sat down and put his feet up: “We are all from the same family. We don’t speak the same language. You are Xiu Rong’s biological uncle, and you are my biological uncle.”
Zhang Heling waved his hands hurriedly: “Don’t dare, don’t dare. If you can get rich, I I can call you uncle.” Fang
Jifan
: “…”
“Please give me some guidance, Mr. Fang?”
Fang Jifan sighed: “It’s very simple. You forgot that you discovered a silver mine.”
Yin Mine, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
My brother-in-law is really a fool.
Fang Jifan said: “I am going to the palace to intercede for my two uncles. How can the income from this silver mine be short of the two uncles? This silver mine is a cornucopia. Are you afraid of running out of silver?”
“Yeah. Zhang Heling’s eyes lit up: “Is it really possible? Your Majesty…will he agree? I’m afraid…this matter…is not easy. This is not about snatching food from the tiger’s mouth. You don’t know how stingy your Majesty is…” Fang Jifan said: ” If that’s the case, then I won’t go.”
“No, no, no.” Zhang Heling felt a glimmer of hope.
But that can’t be the case. My brother-in-law has a lot of trust in this guy. Maybe he actually believes this guy’s lies.
Zhang Heling was about to kneel down: “Go, let’s talk.”
Fang Jifan said: “I’ll have a sip of tea first, it’s rare for the two uncles to come… I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a landlord yet.”
“No, no, hurry, hurry “
It happened that at this time, a eunuch came in a hurry: “Captain Fang, your Majesty, please come to the palace immediately.”
The Zhang brothers rubbed their hands, their eyes were red and they were about to cry.
Of course, Zhang Heling subconsciously felt that this was another trick of Fang Jifan.
But… in the face of this huge temptation, even if there was a real trap ahead, Zhang Heling did not hesitate, pinching his nose to jump down.
…
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the report. In addition, there were countless civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty who had come to see him. He was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, house prices skyrocketed.
This daily sales of tens of millions of taels is such a terrifying amount.
Because of this, many ministers stamped their feet and came to report.
Emperor Hongzhi immediately relaxed after reading the report.
My money… was saved.
But seeing the whole court in mourning, Fang Jifan… also had a big head.
Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said: “The root of the problem lies in these Japanese people. Your Majesty, it turns out that Fang Jifan asked your Majesty to issue an order to allow a large number of nobles from the vassal state to enter the capital. This was his calculation. But has your Majesty ever thought that these people not only Prices have been driven up, so they come to China and learn my etiquette and culture. If they also learn the Ming Dynasty’s way of making the country rich and powerful, then… wouldn’t it be like raising thieves to respect themselves? Xishan Academy even opened a special academy for them to study. , they are so immersed in this capital that they will return to China sooner or later and learn all the skills of the Ming Dynasty… Just talking about the Japanese country, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were just a group of barbarians. After they sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, now, the craftsmanship of their swords , Aren’t they all learned from China? Since then, the Japanese invasion has been so rampant that the people have been living in dire straits. I beg your majesty to expel these Japanese and not let them covet my Ming Dynasty artifacts.”
After saying this, Zhang Sheng bowed.
Many ministers also nodded.
Of course, this is more of an excuse. The main reason is that these Japanese people are too ruthless. They actually bought more than 30,000 taels of silver in such a remote place without blinking an eyebrow, driving up the price of the mansion like this… In the future… there will be Korea, Ryukyu, Uzang, and other Western countries. How will we live like this?
Emperor Hongzhi kept his expression, but said: “Where is Liu Wenshan’s family?”
Liu Wenshan came out and said, “I am here.”
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Wenshan: “What do Liu Qing’s family think about this…”
Liu Wenshan did a lot of theoretical research. Because he wrote The Wealth of Nations, he was almost regarded as an economic adviser by Emperor Hongzhi, but…he had not observed enough of this phenomenon, and he was somewhat unable to answer it.
It would be great if my mentor was here, mentor… Since he did this, he must have his reasons.
But at this moment, a eunuch said: “Your Majesty, Captain Fang is here.”
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows when he thought of his son-in-law, who had changed hands all the time, and said, “Xuan him in.” When
Fang Jifan entered the palace, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and felt particularly cordial: “Jifan, there is no need to be polite, I have something to ask you. .”
