The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1668

[1668. Chapter 1586 Everything rises]

There are so many teeth in this world.

But in various provincial cities, prefectures and counties, as long as there are enough funds, they can be wiped out with lightning speed.

Of course, the premise of all this comes from the transmission of messages.

In this era, no matter how fast the news is, it is limited.

There is bound to be a time difference.

If anyone has the fastest horse and can quickly mobilize enough funds, then…whoever can taste the benefits.

It’s just that in this era, most people are still unaware of it.

Therefore, many people in this world actually see this.

Wang Bushi can see it, Wang Jinyuan can see it.

Anyone with some sense in the capital can see it.

It’s just a pity… Although some people have brains, they don’t have enough strength.

Without strength, it would be impossible to send out troops, and it would not be possible to mobilize such a huge amount of funds at once. Therefore… I can only look back and sigh, and continue to dream about what I will do if I have money, hum hum… what I will do.

Early the next morning, Deng Jian and his people quickly rushed to various counties. They refused to let go of every county in Shandong.

But in various dental shops in Jinan Prefecture, people are still laughing about the fool wearing big sunglasses who came to buy land yesterday, or they heard that the land can be sold. Some people came to find out what this is. What a sacred time, at noon, when many people gathered in the tooth row to whisper or laugh at the big fool yesterday.

The express delivery horse… finally arrived too late.

“The Duke of Qi is back from the dead!”

As soon as the news came out, the provincial capital of Jinan was shocked.

People rushed to tell each other.

The Duke of Qi is alive, he is alive…

The minds of the gentry are complicated.

Alive… It’s good to be brave. Everyone is saved. Maybe the food piled in the barn… will have a market again.

Ah…that’s not right…my land, my land…

this time…many people couldn’t even cry.

And then… many merchants began to swarm in, and local merchants in Jinan suddenly began to appear and disappear.

People are rushing to Yahang. The land that was sold at a low price a few days ago…is it still available?

Opportunities will never be given to these hindsighted people.

The guy from the dental shop can’t laugh now, it’s even worse than crying.

Because the next moment, the gentry who had sold their land yesterday were knocking on the door.

“Why did you sell the land so early?”

“You must have colluded with that person.”

They rushed into the dental shop with their families and smashed the dental shop to pieces.

Some people cried loudly: “This is the ancestral land of my family. I can’t help my ancestors.”

“Oh, my brother-in-law lives in Pingyuan County. He came to write a book a few days ago and said that he was selling land, but he didn’t know about it. Has the land been sold? “

So… someone went to the countryside anxiously to report the news.

But in Pingyuan County, transactions… are going on. Both parties, both buying and selling, are thinking that the other party is a fool. They are all smiling and want to sign a contract immediately, lest it be too late.

This kind of thing happens everywhere in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, South Zhili, and Jiangxi.

……

Fang Jifan has been staying at home obediently these days. Looking at Zhu Houzhao who surrounds him every day, he always feels a little eyesore.

Doesn’t this guy find something serious to do?

He wants to take advantage of me, right?

At the same time, a series of letters appeared one after another.

The first thing to come was, of course, the land acquisition report from the Gyeonggi region.

“Young Master…”

What came back was a powerful young man named Huzi. As for his last name, Fang Jifan didn’t bother to remember it anyway. All I know is that he is the son of a farmer in Xishan. He has been studying for several years, but unfortunately he is not very good at studying, so he simply works as a caretaker for the Fang family.

Fang Jifan raised his feet and looked at the young man. The young man was out of breath because he had run all the way. He said: “Shopkeeper Liu bought land in Hejian, Zhending and other prefectures yesterday. Almost all the land was sold on the market.” All the land on the market has been purchased, but I heard that there seems to be someone secretly purchasing it and stealing our business. However, shopkeeper Liu said that the top priority right now is to purchase as much land as possible as soon as possible. There is no time to touch it now. The details of the other party are that they have purchased hundreds of thousands of acres of land in each city yesterday, and will go to the county next…”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh.

An immature market is good.

In later generations, no matter how bad the news is, even if there are skyrocketing and plummeting, it will not be like it is today. Only in the Ming Dynasty, the market economy has just begun. People’s confidence in the market does not come from the market itself, so every day A sharp rise and a sharp fall are like a bloodbath.

Actually…if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

Fang Jifan’s life and death, to some extent, represents the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

The influence of those scholars who had previously read Eight-Part Composition and Confucianism was really too great.

For countless wealthy households and businessmen, once Fang Jifan is assassinated, the biggest hidden danger is the death of the people and the government. Without Qi Guogong’s pressure, the businessmen know that their next fate will be extremely bleak. Who dares to take this risk of hanging by a thread? .

So… when the news came, it spread like wildfire, and almost all merchants wanted to hoard real money.

And this immature market has now become Fang Jifan’s playground. I really can’t blame myself for this. If I want to blame, I can only blame that damn assassin.

Fang Jifan said with great joy: “Everyone is very dedicated and tries their best…Come here, let’s do that. This is your reward.” As

Fang Jifan said, he grabbed a handful of land deed plugs from his desk. When he got it into Huzi’s hand, he said cheerfully: “This little thing is a reward for you. Let me continue to investigate. I will be busier these days and need to work hard.”

Huzi held the land deed in his hand. , his eyes were a little stunned and confused.

This… this… this is land…

There are dozens of pieces of land in this handful, some are more than ten acres, some are hundreds of acres, and some are several acres. Added together… doesn’t it mean that… I …I am an ordinary farmer’s boy, and then I turn around and become a landlord.

Huzi’s eyes turned red…

The next moment, tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.

He clicked, knelt on the ground again, hugged Fang Jifan’s legs and cried loudly: “Master… Master, I, Zhang Xiaohu, was born as a dog of the Fang family, and died as a dead dog of the Fang family.”

Look at this child. …Tsk tsk…

Fang Jifan touched his head lovingly and said kindly: “Be good, don’t cry.”

The power of the land is huge. You see, just grabbing a handful can make people want to immediately work for him. The feudal lord is dead.

Fang Jifan gained some experience.

As for rewarding him with a land deed, there is nothing we can do.

Our successor doesn’t have much of anything now, just a lot of land.

The land deeds and deeds from various prefectures and counties have not yet arrived.

The mortgages collected by Xishan Bank alone, such as house deeds and land deeds, were enough to fill several warehouses. In order to count these land deeds and house deeds, hundreds of key people had to be transferred from the School of Calculation, which would cost at least It will take a month to make a clear inventory of these lands and properties.

After Zhang Xiaohu left with tears of gratitude, Fang Jifan discovered that Zhu Houzhao had been staring at the table beside him, and there were still many land deeds left on these tables.

Fang Jifan sighed with emotion and said: “This fire is really good. It keeps burning, and it actually makes me rich. The land deed can’t even be stored in the warehouse. What should I do? How about… …Find a day and burn the Fang family as well.”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately cheered up: “Oh…I am the best at this, Lao Fang, we have an agreement, but…if we don’t burn it. If a few people die, I’m afraid others won’t believe it. How about… let Gu Dayong try using them? “

Outside… Gu Dayong shuddered violently.

Fang Jifan pressed his hand and said with a smile: “Your Highness, I just said it casually, but you actually took it seriously. We are people who do business based on our ability. Don’t keep thinking about these crooked ways. Besides, people I’ve been fooled by you once, how can I be fooled a second time?”

This is indeed true, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly became listless again.

“Your Highness, don’t you have anything else to do?”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: “There is nothing busy recently.”

Fang Jifan sighed: “Your Highness should go to see His Majesty. He hasn’t done so in a while. This is exactly what he said. When His Highness has fulfilled his filial piety.”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head again: “My father has been in the palace these days and has not thought about state affairs. When the ministers went to visit him, he didn’t see any of them. I went there, so he probably didn’t want to see me. “

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but regretfully said: “Your Majesty is very wise, how can you not think about national affairs for no reason? I think your Majesty is ill, he must be.”

…

Now, Emperor Hongzhi doesn’t want to talk to anyone.

He was just immersed in each report.

The people in the palace were reporting the latest market conditions almost every moment.

Emperor Hongzhi only had to sit in the palace, but found that he could no longer calculate this huge benefit.

On the exchange, stock prices skyrocketed.

The palace also raised a large amount of funds to enter the market a few days ago, and now… it has doubled by an unknown amount.

Coupled with the large number of stocks that the palace had not sold before, this calculation shows that not only did the palace not suffer a loss, but it actually made a huge profit.

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Jing came excitedly: “The latest news is that the price of the mansion has risen again. On the exchange, the current surge has slowed down a bit, but it is still a great benefit.”

Phew…

Hongzhi The emperor took a deep breath, with a smile on his face: “They must have eaten a lot in Xishan.”

“That’s strange. There is not a large amount of funds entering the exchange in Xishan. Otherwise, I’m afraid there will be a sharp rise.”

Emperor Hongzhi He couldn’t help but frown: “This is strange. Fang Jifan has changed to a vegetarian diet?”

“I heard that a lot of funds were taken outside the capital.”

Outside the capital…

Emperor Hongzhi tapped his fingers. Documents, he began to think about it.
