The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1274

[1274. Chapter 1213 Meritorious Service]

Fang Jifan looked suspicious.

Wang Bushi curled his lips and smiled: “Mr. Qi, my gift is a little different.”

“Different, what is the difference?” Fang Jifan looked at Wang Bushi with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing that Fang Jifan was confused, Wang Bushi smiled and said: “A few days ago, Xiaguan bought some stocks. It can be considered that Xiaguan had some luck. These stocks have increased in value. Of course, for Xiaguan, Money, like floating clouds, is the most useless thing.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but think, shouldn’t it be me who said this?

It seems that people with money inevitably have noble sentiments.

The so-called poverty-stricken strategy, rich and conscience, come to think of it, that’s it.

He was thinking secretly in his heart, but then he heard Wang Bushi speak.

“Therefore, the student wants to donate one million shares of railway stock to the Duke of Qi free of charge. This railway is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. After all, a low-ranking official is just a private person. The so-called ordinary man is not guilty of carrying a jade. His crime is not that the low-ranking official is cautious. Wei, it’s just that… holding so many stocks and taking up such a huge share is really… somewhat unjustifiable. “

Now one million stocks are worth almost two hundred taels of silver.

This guy is really generous. Just like our successor, he is a money-splitting boy.

Atmosphere…

Fang Jifan looked at Wang Bushi with a smile.

Wang Bushi looked very calm and looked at Fang Jifan with the same smile. He could not see any reluctance. This man was really generous.

Fang Jifan suddenly said: “Come on, drag this bitch out and feed it to the dogs!”

Wang Bushi: “…”

Outside, several guards listened and were about to come in.

Wang Bushi hurriedly said: “Qi Guogong, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding between us.”

“Misunderstanding, what do you think there is?” Fang Jifan stared at him and asked sharply: “Send me the silver. What do you mean? You clearly know that our Jifan is encouraging everyone to buy more stocks. You also know that our Jifan is encouraging private investment to invest this money in workshops, stocks and real estate markets. You actually want to do this at this time? Give me Fang Jifan stock, who do you think I am? I am someone who has no conscience, takes advantage of others, and will secretly take advantage of whoever has the most money.”

He paused and spoke from his nostrils. Li snorted coldly.

“Fang Jifan’s family is full of loyal people. In my generation, they take the world as their own responsibility, be loyal to the emperor, and protect the country and the people. You regard money as floating clouds, and we, Fang Jifan, regard money as dung.”

Fang Jifan bared his teeth: “You are giving away stocks now. I, for those who don’t know, thought that it was our Fang Jifan who robbed you of your money. You want to ruin our Fang Jifan’s reputation? We, Fang Jifan, are also a respectable person. In the eyes of others, who will do it again? Dare you show your wealth?”

Wang Bushi was stunned, with a confused look on his face.

He is indeed of a very cautious nature.

To him, money… is nothing but an external possession. The more he earns, the hotter he becomes.

Since the Song Dynasty, getting rich overnight has been a derogatory term. If a rich person goes too far, he will inevitably have to worry.

When Taizu Emperor Gao changed hands, he said that Shen Wansan was killed, so that now, countless versions of the story have been circulated.

Therefore, almost everyone is like Wang Bushi. Although they have a huge desire for wealth, at the same time, when they obtain huge wealth, they inevitably feel uneasy.

But therein lies the problem.

I received a big gift from him today.

In the future… people will only think, you see, you should not expose your wealth, you should be careful, those cautious people will still hide their wealth secretly, even if there is inflation, they will not dare to reveal it, or In the cellar, or under your own bed.

Or, someone got a windfall but kept it secret.

If this kind of trend is still prevalent, will anyone dare to buy stocks and invest in workshops?

Wang Bushi hurriedly explained: “Well, Duke Qi, I have no intention of lowering my rank.”

“You said you don’t have it, so you don’t have it?” Fang Jifan looked at him with bared teeth, his tone revealing displeasure.

Wang Bushi: “…”

To be honest, Wang Bushi was a little afraid of Fang Jifan.

This kind of awe is more thorough than that of those jabbering Hanlins.

He hurriedly said: “This…”

Fang Jifan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at him with a smile: “If you want to help me, Fang Jifan, give me a big gift. I have something I want you to do. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement for you.”

Wang Bushi suddenly felt that his heart was beating so hard that he couldn’t bear it.

Because he thought that he had the initiative, but in the blink of an eye, this initiative fell into Fang Jifan’s hands, and he seemed to have become a piece of meat on Fang Jifan’s chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.

But…

there is no other way now.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Fang Jifan said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll know it soon. I’ve been thinking about this matter, and I need someone to handle it. I’ll wait. I’ll call back that man with the strange bones, and this will be settled.”

Wang Bushi: “…”

………

Hurry up and arrive at Lanzhou.

Lanzhou New Town, a city developed based on mining, rises from the ground.

Deng Jian received an express report.

Exiled here, he was drunk and dreaming every day, sleeping with ten or eight women in his arms, doing nothing all day long, and Deng Jian’s body was shaken as if he had been drained by wine and sex.

Suddenly…he burst into tears.

The young master…hasn’t given him any news for several years.

It was as if he had been forgotten.

He felt uncomfortable, as if he had been abandoned, no one cared about him, and no one cared about his life or death.

But now…finally…finally there is news.

He suddenly stood up and yelled: “Come here, come here, you piece of shit, pack your bags for me, I want to go back to Beijing, I’m going back to Beijing now!”

He pinched the letter and wiped away the tears in his eyes, he knew , the young master can’t live without him, the young master will think of himself, the young master has been busy in the past few years, which is understandable, but now… he feels happy in his heart, and every bone seems to be extremely comfortable.

The entire Deng residence suddenly became a mess.

Carloads of things began to be packed away.

Seven or eight concubines were crying and pulling Deng Jian: “Why don’t you go to the capital without me…”

“Go aside, I’m going back to the capital to do important things. You women, don’t get in the way. “

“

A woman came with a baby in her arms.

Without even looking at it, Deng Jian raised his chin and ordered: “Take no children, no children, let’s go…”

He quickly got into the carriage, and then the carriage sped up, leaving countless women and children behind. behind. The cries of countless women and children were left behind.

…………

The huge snow-capped mountains are in sight in the distance. The mountains, which are like pillars supporting the sky, are covered with white snow.

But…below the mountain, it was a lush green land without snow. Although the weather was still cold, countless forest trees appeared in front of a group of ragged people.

There were seven or eight retinues, all with yellow faces and thin muscles.

But at this moment, they became excited and fell to the ground one after another.

The leader, Wang Wenyu, looked at everything in front of him and laughed suddenly.

Haha… Sure enough… this is the Golden Continent, the Golden Continent.

No… To be precise, this is the Northern Golden Continent.

They passed through Nurgandusi all the way, and then crossed the Bering Strait. They faced countless winds and snows, crossed the ice field, and followed the map and compass to go south. They walked for more than a month, and they went further south. , the weather is getting warmer, and finally, the wind and snow are gone here.

After browsing a snow-capped mountain, finally…a lush world appeared in front of him.

Wang Wenyu trembled with excitement.

He was almost convinced.

This… is the legendary North Golden Continent. If you go all the way south, you may even reach the Jinshan stronghold where the Ming Dynasty is stationed here.

In other words…

my guess is correct.

Now…everything has been confirmed.

The hard work of the past year suddenly… Wang Wenyu felt that it was worth it.

So worth it!

Under his feet is fertile land…

In the distance, there are countless fertile soils carrying hope.

Land…

is the greatest hope of the Han people. Only with land can descendants multiply and the dynasty prosper!

Wang Wenyu knelt down, eager to kiss the ground under his feet.

“Camp here, and collect soil samples… Pay attention to what crops and animals are nearby. Painter Liu, pay attention and draw them… Lao Li, take the blunderbuss and go hunt down a deer. This We will stay here for two days, and then we will continue to go south.”

“Yes.”

There are fewer and fewer followers around Wang Wenyu, and many people have left him.

They really couldn’t bear the suffering of the cold wind, and most importantly, the suffocating feeling with no hope at all on the ice sheet, which was even more terrifying than the cold.

There were tears in Wang Wenyu’s eyes. He thought of many of his master’s instructions, and couldn’t help but think in his heart. When he heard that Master Xu went to sea, he missed his master’s teachings all the time. Now it seems that it is true that people wandering outside are so miserable and tormenting. , this feeling of missing my master is actually more serious than homesickness.

Trembling, he cheered up, sat up cross-legged, and began to take out his notebook and write down what happened today and what he saw and heard.

The next arrangement is to continue southbound, then arrive at Jinshan, and then return to Daming via Jinshan’s ships.

This land route is considered completely accessible.

A clearer world is about to be revealed to the world. This is so exciting.

“Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang…”

Old Li, who went hunting with a blunderbuss, came back in a hurry: “Look, look over there.”
