Chapter 991: Get Rich Overnight

This is a very wonderful feeling.

Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone.

Seeing this group of people who were still discussing their pros and cons and twisting their beards to guide classics, Wang Bushi wanted to laugh a little.

He respectfully sent His Majesty back to the palace, and everyone returned to the Attorney Room with great interest.

Wang Bushi said as usual: "In the oral order of Your Majesty, you must draft the imperial edict. Yan Shixue. You should write a draft first. I will read it later."

Yan Xi couldn't help but complain, "Sir Wang, I'm old, I've just gone out to make trouble again, and my back is already sore, this... this..."

Yan Xi relies on his seniority to be a senior, and although he is a low-ranking official in front of Wang Bushi, he regards himself as an old man.

No one in the yamen likes such people.

But you have no way to deal with him.

After all, if there is an old man in the yamen, if he has a treasure, if he criticizes him for this, he will appear to be harsh and may be regarded as a cruel official.

Wang Bushi only pursed his lips. He had a surprisingly good temper and seemed to be used to the atmosphere in the attendant room: "Okay, then I'll write it myself."

So I prepared the pen and ink, picked up the pen, but did not dip the ink, but began to ponder.

Yan Xi stole the free time, and sat aside, drank tea, and said to several other leisurely Hanlins: "I found out that this steam locomotive is afraid that it will cost more than 20 million taels of silver. Oh, how many people are wearing clothes? Think about it, it's really uncomfortable. How many people can I save these 20 million taels of silver for me?"

"Yes, yes..." Everyone sighed.

"This is a waste of money and money. We should write a letter to... I will impeach you severely."

"I'm afraid there is a lot of money spent, and it was given privately by His Majesty."

"Oh, if so..." Yan Xi looked furious: "Although it is the silver of the treasury and has nothing to do with the treasury, the treasury is also taken from the people's wealth and ointment. As a result, he has built such a flashy thing. His Royal Highness, who is so happy about his achievements, is really worrying."

They all showed righteous indignation, and wanted to remove the railway tracks, exchange the broken iron for silver, and then do something that is beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Wang Bushi still bowed his head and drafted an edict.

He couldn't hold it in his arms. To be honest, he really couldn't stand it when he was with these people.

If Wang Bushi hadn't been used to being ridiculed, and would have learned to be taciturn. After all... he was once a scumbag in the world, so he would have been unable to stand it anymore.

But now, his wrist, which was about to be put down, shook, so the tip of the pen dipped ink and threw some ink onto the white paper.

He was very disgusted with the prince and the commander Fang. You guys, you guys, I will hold a grudge against you all my life.

However, after hearing these people's words, Wang Bushi felt that the prince and Fang Duwei were just unwilling, but these people were stupid enough to make people want to pick up pens, ink, paper and inkstone to kill them.

But these people occupy the position of Hanlin Jinyao.

Wang Bushi pretended to write calmly, and said, "It's not a big deal. The car has such a large load and amazing transportation capacity. It's like a canal. Now it connects the new city and the old city, which is of great benefit to the entire capital."

Everyone felt disgusted when they heard Wang Bushi sing the opposite tune again.

Everyone is Hanlin, and they are all talented. You can’t be afraid of you just because you, Wang Bushi, are Shangguan.

Yan Xi couldn't help but said sarcastically: "I dare to ask, what are the benefits?"

Wang Bushi put his pen down and said with a smile: "Isn't this obvious? With this steam locomotive, is the distance between the new city and the old city closer? It turned out that they were forty miles away, but now, only three or five miles away, this is the effect brought by the steam train. In addition, there is another effect in the theory of wealth of the country, called "economic scale". If the two places are far apart and resources cannot be dispatched, they can only do their own things. But once the two places are integrated, the population will be equivalent to, and at the same time, and wealth will naturally increase dramatically. Do you understand what I mean? There is no difference between the new city and the old city. The old city is the new city, and the new city is the old city. They have been combined into one."

Everyone still doesn't understand.

I just think that this guy is still talking about the wealth theory of the country, which is really hateful.

Yan Xi sneered: "Student Wang is probably obsessed with reading miscellaneous books all day long."

Wang Bushi looked up and stared at Yan Xi. He was silent for a moment: "It's nothing wrong with being possessed by a demon."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

A Hanlin murmured in a low voice: "I went to the old city because I got into a demon and bought worthless land. Fortunately, Mr. Wang was willing to buy it. Otherwise, I would be afraid that no one would ask for the land I was waiting for."

Everyone smiled and said, "To them, this land sale is really a stroke of magic. This joke can make you laugh at Wang Bushi, a possessed guy for a year."

Wang Bushi suddenly looked up and suddenly felt anger.

In the past, he was laughed at as a scum in the world, but to be honest, being abused by these fools here made him grow up with temper. He stared at the Hanlin tightly.

Hanlin seemed a little afraid and was at a loss for a moment.

When the others saw this, they said, "Sir Wang, you have to behave. He is just a joke. Why can't you make such a joke?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wang must not be angry. As an official in the same court, what's the point of being annoying?"

Wang Bushi's eyes slowly softened, so he picked up the pen, and he had nothing to do with him and wanted to continue to do his official duties.

But when these Hanlins saw this, they all winked at each other.

Yan Xizhe was drinking tea while showing a happy and contentment.

But at this moment, a clerk came hurriedly: "Oh, my husband, who has a mansion in the old city?"

These Hanlin people who were idle all looked up and when they heard about the old city, they subconsciously looked at Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi was calm and composed, but he was still slightly surprised. The merchants' actions were really too fast. He said lightly: "What's the matter?"

"Outside the Hanlin Academy, someone was asking around urgently. Seeing that the Hanlin Academy's officials were talking, the students came to the palace to see if anyone wanted to sell it in the waiting room."

"Ah?" said a Hanlin. "Why, someone outside the palace purchases land and real estate in the old city?"

The clerk said, "Isn't that right? The masters said that it was the railway station. It has been announced that the railway tickets ranged from the old city to the new city, with a total of thirteen stations. From one station to the next station, all the fares for a total of thirteen cents. Even if you sit from beginning to end, it is only thirteen cents. As soon as the news came out, the merchants in the capital were crazy... I also heard that Xishan Jianye had plans to carry out large-scale groundbreaking construction, not only theaters, schools, railway stations, residences, markets... Oh, every station and commercial street, in the future, not only will there be railway lines, but also a asphalt road and ten lanes... In short, what is there in the new city? Besides, the old city is already popular, and you will not have to worry about selling a house."

Everyone took a breath.

Yan Xi's heart suddenly cast a shadow.

No, it's just because of a railway?

You can take a stop for a penny. This price is extremely cheap for anyone working.

But……

The clerk said: "There are rumors outside that there are many craftsmen, merchants, and rich people in the capital do not have housing yet. Besides, there weren't many people who sold all the land in the old city in the past, but in the new city, they couldn't afford to buy houses. Now, after the development of the old city, Xishan Jianye spread the news, and many people were asking about the price and want to buy it. Because of this, some merchants are taking this opportunity to ask everywhere if there are any land in the old city. It just so happens that they can take this opportunity to follow Xishan Jianye and make a fortune. Now... the land in the old city has increased three times!"

three times……

Yan Xi and others were so scared that their faces turned green.

Especially Yan Xi, he sold Wang Bushi's 30 acres of land, and only got Wang Bushi's thousand taels of silver in total.

But in the middle of the transaction, I lost several thousand taels?

Damn...

Thousands of taels, this is not a small amount.

The others also suddenly looked as pale as paper...

But Wang Bushi was extremely calm and stared at the clerk: "At three times the price, I actually want to buy it? Is this merchant crazy?"

"I'm crazy. I heard that no one is willing to sell it so far. They all say it will rise. Some people say that they are afraid that it will rise ten times, and no one is willing to sell it."

The clerk looked at Wang Bushi with admiration.

Wang Bushi was silent for a moment, but said lightly: "No, it's not just ten times, twenty times, at least this number... You can wait and see. Tomorrow, the price will be ten times, and within half a month, it will definitely be twenty times. So, go and advise those masters who have land in their hands, so that they don't rush to take action, and don't be confused."

Twenty times...

Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat...

Now he no longer thinks that Wang Bushi is crazy, because in fact, Wang Bushi is obviously prepared, and looking at his calm appearance, the tenth slap is really twenty times more likely.

I sold 30 acres of land, and one acre was only 500 taels. Isn’t this mean I lost... I lost... I lost... I nearly 300,000 taels of silver...

Three hundred thousand...two silver...

What is this number?

I actually passed by the rich man.

"Ah!" Yan Xi suddenly touched his head, and felt extremely sad and angry, and felt a splitting headache. Before he could cry, he was dizzy. After a while, he fell straight to the ground and fainted.

But at this time, the other Hanlins were trembling, their teeth were trembling, Yan Xi lost the most, but the others also lost a lot.

They couldn't care about Yan Xi, and they wanted to find a place to kill them.

The clerk, however, walked forward quickly and pinched Yan Xi's people, and said, "Yan Shixue, Yan Shixue, wake up, wake up..."

Yan Xi woke up slowly, her eyes were confused, but suddenly a memory surged into her mind, and then a feeling of extreme pain spread throughout her body. So, with another ah, she tilted her head, fainted from the pain!—
