The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1439

[1439.Chapter 1367 A Land of Treasures and Treasures]

On the next day, Zhu Houzhao directly dragged Qile and others to a deserted place.

The members of the visiting group had experienced countless shocks, but they were suddenly dragged into the wilderness and were stunned.

What…is this for?

They looked around, it was bare, and there was a hill in the distance. It was late autumn, everything was depressed, and the bare forest had no green at all.

Ziller felt a chill run down his spine.

He can now guarantee that the Ming Dynasty is completely superior to Franji.

Compared with Franco, the Ming Dynasty far surpassed the Northern Province in terms of city, population, and finance, and was by no means under the Kingdom of Spain.

With the support of the Ming Dynasty, they can feel at ease.

But…

what is going on now?

They looked panicked. They all looked at me and I looked at you.

Zhu Houzhao saw everyone’s reactions in his eyes, with the same look on his face. He bent down and picked up a stone: “What a good land. This was farmland before, but now… it has been leveled. Take a look. , this area is the heart of Baoding and the capital, and you can reach Shuntian Mansion by walking westward for two teas.”

So people followed Zhu Houzhao’s line of sight and looked westward.

It’s still…bare, with no trace of any building on the horizon.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao was talking about the distance by steam train. When selling a house in Beijing, walking is not used as the unit of length.

Relying on walking, you want to spend two cups of tea, are you out of your mind? Is there such a good thing?

Zhu Houzhao took out the telescope, smiled honestly, and handed it to Zile and others: “Come, go to the hill ahead, take the telescope, and you will see everything clearly.”

Ziller: “…”

They had to hold on .

I climbed up the hill and raised my binoculars in surprise.

Hey… don’t mention it, the clock tower of Shuntian Mansion actually showed a little bit of nod.

“Did you see it? This is a land of natural treasures. I am building a new city of Franji here. This is built to commemorate the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Franji. Here, right at your feet, I want to Build a square, surrounded by commercial streets, bilingual academies, and hospitals. Not only that, I also want to build a huge theater here. Not only will my Ming Dynasty’s dramas be performed, but Fran will also be hired. Artists from the machine came to perform here. “

Huh…

Zile and others breathed a sigh of relief, and it sounded… very creative.

Think about it, you can enjoy the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty here, but you will also feel like your hometown…

“There will be roads here, and there will be a railway station nearby in the future… Do you understand? This will be the center of the Ming Dynasty in the future. “

“The center…”

Zhu Houzhao knew the situation of Francois very well. He thought for a while and found the words: “It’s like France’s Paris, or Vienna.”

“In short, everything is. The highest standard!” Zhu Houzhao said with confidence: “Now the sales office has been established. Although it is all for friendship, but… many wealthy households are flocking to it. Just yesterday, 1,700 units were sold here. , Such a good location, such a good place, so many supporting facilities, a thirty-foot-square mansion, and only three hundred and twenty taels of silver. If you think about it, it’s strange that the sales are not booming. “

Zile and others .

He suddenly took a breath of cold air.

This is the crushing of advanced business over backward business.

Their minds were completely blank. They had never seen anyone playing like this before.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: “You have been here for a long time. I think you already know the market situation of this capital. The mansion next to Shuntian Mansion has tripled its price in two years, and here is a The new Shuntian Mansion. Of course… the most important thing is that in order to make more people afford a house, Xishan Bank has provided great help. The loans they provide have amazing interest rates.”

“That’s all, I told you. I don’t understand.” At this point, Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said, “I just want you to see how our new city of Ming Dynasty rose. It’s also an eye-opener for you. I’ll take you to the theater later. Let’s go to the bathhouse at night. Let’s take a bath.”

The members of the mission looked at the ground, and Nazil couldn’t help but pick up the telescope and look at Shuntian Mansion in the distance.

He looked a little strange and became silent.

After a long while, someone said: “Can we buy it? I wonder if we can borrow it from a bank.”

This is a businessman.

A businessman has the shrewdness of a businessman.

This quick tour is really exciting.

Even… the situation in the Northern Province is really weird, and the entire Franji Continent seems to be on a powder keg.

Someone started to think about it.

This is a new world. It is rich and friendly to foreigners. For example, the little brother in front of me takes everyone to eat and drink without getting tired of it and smiles every day.

There are schools, opera houses, and countless facilities that they can hardly imagine.

But in Franji, there have been years of war, and the countries have become a mess.

The businessman came up with an idea.

I have three sons. If… if… I buy a property here and let one of my sons live here. It is not only a way to avoid disaster, but also an investment. Maybe… my son studies here and learns the Han language. In the future, he will Business may be of greater help.

The businessman saw the cotton products, porcelain, silk, and tea here. He already saw business opportunities.

If these things can be transported directly to the Northern Province, then…

Zhu Houzhao showed some embarrassment on his face and said: “This… I can’t say this. You also know that this place is good, and I don’t know if this is the Franconian homeland.” Is it sold out all at once? I’m afraid it’s almost sold out now. In addition, Xishan Bank only offers special discounts within two days… I’m afraid it will pass…”

Zile and others. People, their minds are blank.

Since landing in the Ming Dynasty, they have not rested for a moment, but have continued to visit the prosperity of the capital and see the wealth here.

They followed Zhu Houzhao and didn’t even have time to think. At this time, inexplicably, they heard that the mansion might have been sold out and the discount was about to disappear. They felt like they had missed something.

You know… this kind of business routine can be said to be the culmination of thousands of years of working people. Although this routine seems simple, everyone who thinks they are smart can see through it at a glance, but when you are really in this environment, in this environment Under urgency, you are simply not allowed to think calmly and weigh the pros and cons.

People who had no thoughts at all now began to feel melancholy.

The businessman showed an eager look on his face and said: “Your Excellency, why don’t you go and ask now.”

“Ask?” Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back, which he had tried repeatedly: “Then go and ask, let’s go. Let’s go there and have a look.”

Zile and others cheered up, and more than a hundred people followed Zhu Houzhao into the carriage.

When we arrived at the sales office, it was still crowded with people. People were sweating like rain and they were all very excited.

The people in Beijing have long been immune to this routine, because there are long lines here, and people always feel like they have seen it in some real estate.

But… the Francois were different. It was the first time for them to see such a hot scene. They suddenly felt as if they were in a carnival. Everyone was hysterical, and everyone’s veins popped out with excitement. , which made Ziller and others couldn’t help but get excited.

………………

Fang Jifan entered the palace to see Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed when he heard that Franji had come to envoy.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xizuo’s letter was placed on Emperor Hongzhi’s desk.

Emperor Hongzhi first ordered the great scholars in the cabinet to circulate it, and then the ministers of each ministry read it one by one.

When Fang Jifan entered the palace and bowed, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, with a smile on his lips and said: “This Wang Xizuo is indeed a talent. It is rare for him to be so loyal. My only worry at the beginning was that this person is capricious.” , Now it seems that my mind can be settled. Jifan, this person… has acquired a large amount of land, and now you are the largest gentry in the northern province. What do you think?”

Fang Jifan said modestly: “Your Majesty, everything I own belongs to your Majesty. The king’s meticulous actions are all his own initiative. I propose that all these lands and assets be returned to your majesty.”

Liu Jian and others looked at each other.

Why is this bitch Fang Jifan so generous all of a sudden? Is it reasonable?

Emperor Hongzhi blushed slightly and said, “What’s yours is yours. What does it mean to dedicate it to the palace? I am so greedy and unbridled that I rob my subordinates’ fields.” “

I don’t mean that, I will die,” Fang Jifan said immediately.

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea, raised his head and glanced at Fang Jifan again, then lowered his head happily, glanced at the report, and then said calmly: “My lords, I went to the Western Ocean during the Ming Dynasty, and the Francois also started their voyage. They continue to expand and fight for years. Although their population is not large, if the Ming Dynasty tolerates it, they will not be under our Ming Dynasty sooner or later. For this reason, I have also been worried about how to subdue the Francois so that they will never be our Ming Dynasty.

“Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors and the loyal efforts of our successors and Wang Xizuo, our Ming Dynasty has a springboard in Franji. The relationship in this northern province is not trivial.

“

“What do you think of this?”

Liu Jian knew that it was time for him to make a suggestion. He coughed and said, “Flangji and our Ming Dynasty are thousands of miles apart. This king Xizuo is loyal to our Ming Dynasty, but the top priority is now. In order to firmly control the Northern Province, the veteran believes that this is the purpose of sending people from the Northern Province to visit this time. In addition to treating each other with courtesy and winning over their hearts, I, the Ming Dynasty, also need to pay a return visit. The size cannot be smaller.”
