MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 365 truth of truth

  Chapter 365 The truth in the truth

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but laugh.

  Happiness is blooming.

  The happiest thing in life is this.

  The people in the middle of the court, after knowing it, seem to slowly start to come back to it.

  Many people's faces changed slightly.

  Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

  He stared at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing...why is this?"

Zhang Anshidao: "That's right. In fact, at the beginning, I also felt puzzled. Why did you just buy the land like this? Your Majesty knows that since the new policy of the Taiping Mansion, the land has been divided. The money is worthless, but such an increase in land prices is really unbelievable, so I ordered Tiqi to investigate carefully."

   "Good guy, I don't know if I don't check it, and I will find out the whole story after I check it."

"Among them, the minister specifically learned that there is a person whose surname is Wang. Wang is also from a local rich family. He is a Juren and lives in the capital. He was originally studying for the imperial examination. Since the incident between Xiagong and Jingong, this Wang I was also furious about it, and then cursed."

  The quiet needle drop can be heard in the palace, and many ministers who have awakened seem to be dead mothers.

Zhang Anshi continued cheerfully: "The person who this person scolded was naturally that the minister forced the land to be sold to Duke Xia and others, but after cursing and cursing, it turned out that the problem was not that the land was sold to Duke Xia and Duke Jin, but the land was sold to Duke Xia and Duke Jin." Because of the rise in land prices, Duke Yu Xia and Duke Jin signed a contract with him to take back the land at the original price."

  In fact, this is understandable. If you want to scold Zhang Anshi, you must first admit that Xia Yuanji and others were not cheated when the land was sold.

  Since there is no pit, the price of five hundred taels of silver per mu of land has actually increased. If you don't believe this incredible thing, then it is unreasonable to scold Zhang Anshi.

   That is to say, you have to admit the value of the land first, and you have to recognize that this thing is worth the price. Zhang Anshi is cheating people, so you can be filled with righteous indignation.

   It can be said... This time, it really hit the nail on the head.

At this time, Zhang Anshi continued: "Later, this Wang muttered in his heart, what is it that is so valuable that even Xia Gong, Jin Gong and other lords turned against his ministers? People are talking about it in the streets and alleys. , Many people around me, as well as relatives and friends, are also talking about it. Since this Wang wants to scold him, he must have a target. He can't help but understand the situation at some stations, and he probably knows why the land is rising."

"Cursing and cursing, the more Wang scolds, the more he understands. I know that the land of this station has huge commercial uses. Although the price is expensive, once the land is purchased, it can be passed on to the descendants, just like ...It's like... just like buying land in this countryside and renting it out to tenant farmers. Now, after the New Deal, Zhili has begun to divide land, and many gentry in other state capitals are also in danger. Although Wang's land is not in Zhili, But I can't help but worry about it..."

"Therefore, he couldn't help wanting to know about the movement of the land. After checking it out, he realized that there are quite a few people like him. The land price has increased a little in just a few days. , Such a lucrative business, of course Wang refused, he is a man of character, he disdains it, and denounces those who are rushing to buy for being shameless, but after going back for a few days, he feels uneasy again, these days I paid attention to Mr. Xia and waited for a long time, the more I paid attention, the more I missed the land in my heart, and later I learned that the price has risen again, and the price has reached a thousand taels."

   Zhang Anshi was eloquent, and Zhang Anshi's blood was racing, and Zhu Di urged: "There are more, are there more?"

So Zhang Anshi quickly continued: "Seeing others making money, I clearly have the opportunity to buy it, but I haven't made up my mind. This is more uncomfortable than losing money. So Wang tossed and turned all day long, and didn't sleep well for several days. I finally made up my mind and went to buy land.”

"His family is a local rich family, and there are many close relatives who are officials. For a trustworthy person like him, the bank is the favorite. Now he has borrowed thousands of taels of silver to buy seven or eight acres of land. It's just this At that time, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stumbled, he only regretted that it was too late, if he had bought it earlier, he was afraid that he could buy more than ten acres of land for the same price."

  After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "So that's the case, what do you mean... the people who bought this land are actually Wang and others?"

   "Ninety-nine is not far from ten." Zhang Anshi said seriously: "And I found out that most of the people who bought the land were scholars, and there were even many officials and family members, as well as children of some local rich families."

   This was really beyond Zhu Di's expectation. He looked surprised and said, "What's the reason?"

Zhang Anshi then said: "The price of land is too high. For any one acre, ordinary people may not be able to buy it with a lifetime of money. Merchants do have money, but the vast majority of merchants, at least the ministers on the right side of Dudu's Mansion. I understand that due to the construction of railways in recent years, the market demand has been too great, so many merchants have put almost all their net worth into production!"

   "They don't have any land to mortgage to the bank. Even if they have, they have already mortgaged it when expanding production. They really don't have any extra money, so they put it into the shop."

  Zhu Di was amazed and said: "It's so. In this way...all the land of the stations in Taiping Mansion have been sold?"

   "Yes, they are all sold, and they are all sold out." Zhang Anshi said.

  Zhu Di didn't ask how much money he got, because it was confidential, and if he wanted to ask, he would ask in private later.

   But now he couldn't help shaking his body, and he was refreshed. In this way, when he borrowed money at the time, nine times out of ten, the railway's money was not only not lost, but earned back.

I saw Zhang Anshi said again: "I think about it, this is all supported by Duke Xia and others. If it weren't for Duke Xia, I wouldn't be where I am today. This time the first contribution should belong to Duke Xia, Duke Jin and others, Your Majesty... Xia Gong built the railway, opened up the situation for our New Deal, and made a lot of contributions. If the New Deal can be completed in the future, Xia Gong and others will definitely make a contribution."

  After hearing this, Xia Yuanji's expression changed suddenly.

  Jin Chun: "..."

  Compared to Jin Chun and others, Xia Yuanji, as the household secretary, obviously understands the joints better than them.

  After all, he is a person who deals with money and food. Although he is not familiar with Zhang Anshi's various routines, a very smart person like him can actually know the whole story immediately with a little bit of guidance.

Ruined.

  His face was changing.

  During this process, he actually took the shot.

   Such a commotion was known to the whole world, and Zhang Anshi took this opportunity to sell all the land.

  Sold at a high price, what does it mean?

  It means that Zhang Anshi has cleared his own risks, and these risks have been transferred to the buyer.

According to Zhang Anshi's analysis, most of the people who bought the land were officials, scholars, and gentry, and they all bought at high prices, and they were also burdened with loans from the bank. .

  This also means that once there is a problem with the price in this place, countless people will destroy their homes.

   It can be said that the panic buying process this time was completely carried out under an irrational situation.

  Because many people, in order to reprimand Zhang Anshi, he has preconceived and constantly overestimated the value of the land.

This is actually understandable, the higher the price estimate, the more hateful it seems that Zhang Anshi bought it back at the original price, and the dignified minister and the princes in the court actually turned against the commander of Jinyiwei for the sake of land, which in itself also proves that the land is extremely high. value.

This is the horror of people’s hearts, because people often don’t care about the facts at all, they only talk about their positions, once they stand on the opposite side of Zhang Anshi, in order to denounce Zhang Anshi, then almost everyone in the circle who opposes Zhang Anshi will say the same thing, He insisted that the land was worth a lot.

In addition to personal emotional judgments, when your close relatives and friends, colleagues, classmates, fellow villagers, and old friends around you, everyone is like a parrot, repeating this place repeatedly like a wheel, this place is too good, The price is priceless, such land, Zhang Anshi actually wants to buy it back for five hundred taels, this is the beginning of madness.

  Actually, at this time, everyone agrees, and three people become tigers. Even those who cannot accept such a super high land price at first will be moved by this time.

   What's more, this matter was widely advertised, and it was precisely targeted at the group that opposed Zhang Anshi, and this group was precisely the group that was originally keen on relying on land rent. The most important thing is that they still have money and they have pledged land.

   This is a precise strike, and none of them will let go.

  Natsuhara Yoshi: "..."

   As soon as he thought of this, Xia Yuanji only felt like he was on his back, because... During the whole process, he was used as a gunman.

   Now that the answer is revealed, it’s fine if the land price can be maintained, but what if it can’t be maintained in the future?

  He Xia Yuanji really became a great hero of the New Deal, because the first reaction of those angry people is...

   Is this a game that Xia Yuanji, Jin Chunren and Zhang Anshi worked together together!

This is actually understandable. Zhang Anshi has land, and Xia Yuanji and others also have land in their hands. Why do they deliberately make troubles to attract people to buy the land for the sake of inflating the value of the land? Jump in a fire pit?

  At that time, it must be Natsuhara Yoshito and others who jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it off.

   You must know that Xia Yuanji has been silent during the process of the New Deal.

   On the one hand, he recognized in his heart the great benefits that the New Deal brought to the country.

   On the other hand, as a scholar, he was a representative of the old officials, and he knew that if the New Deal continued like this, it would be a devastating blow to the gentry.

  Personal emotions are intertwined with the righteousness of the country, so all he can do is keep silent and try his best to keep the bowl of water level.

  But now... everything was empty, he felt as if Zhang Anshi had tied him into a chariot all of a sudden.

  And he doesn't know where the chariot will go, and he can't see clearly whether it will be ruined.

  The only thing he knew was that he was completely tied up, the door was welded shut, and he couldn't get out of the car.

   At this time, many people's eyes subconsciously looked at Xia Yuanji.

  Many eyes look extraordinarily weird.

  Xia Yuanji Rumang was on his back, bowed his head, and kept silent. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Logically, the land was coming back, and he seemed to have earned a lot, but...why did he want to cry?

   Good for you Zhang Anshi...

  Xia Yuanji couldn't help but gritted his teeth silently, but when he looked up at Zhang Anshi, his hateful eyes melted like ice and snow.

  Because reason told him that at this time, he must not turn his back on his purpose.

   The cost of turning against the goal is too high, not because of Zhang Anshi's identity, but because of...

  Up to now, the only thing I can do is to smile, to show that I have wisdom beads in my hands and everything is under control.

  If he turns his face at this time, his confidence is crushed, and some bad news spreads, causing the land price to plummet. I am afraid that Zhang Anshi doesn't have to do anything, and those people who robbed the land like crazy will also bury him alive.

  So Xia Yuanyoshi smiled on his face, with an expression that success does not depend on me, his eyes shone with wisdom, and the corners of his mouth slightly evoked a faint smile.

Zhu Di was obviously in a good mood at this time, and laughed and said: "Yes, Xia Qing, Jin Qing and other ministers also contributed a lot! That's right, the country's governance should be of one heart and one mind. Okay, Xia Qing, you I just said that I will report about Zhang Qing, but is there anything else I want to add and report?"

  What else can Xia Yuanji say at this time, he can only say: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do."

Zhu Di smiled and nodded and said: "What I am most worried about is that the general and the prime minister will not get along. A few days ago, I also heard some gossip. Now I know that this is just a misunderstanding. The two ministers are Lin Xiangru and Lian Po. and also."

  Natsuhara Yoshi: "..."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty is proficient in literature and history, and you can make up allusions by hand. I must read more books in the future, just like your Majesty."

  Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, all he was thinking about was money.

  But still had to be patient and said: "Is there anything else you want to play? Oh... I was going to have a court meeting today, but because of this, I was delayed for a long time. These days, I have just recovered from a serious illness..."

   This is almost telling them to **** off.

   All the ministers are very discerning, so they had to say: "I have nothing to do."

  Zhu Di was very satisfied, and hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, then... let's go to court."

  Zhu Di said, secretly winking at Zhang Anshi.

  The monarch and his ministers had a tacit understanding, Zhang Anshi immediately understood, and stood still.

  The rest quit in twos and threes.

  Xia Yuanyoshi seemed to have a small motor installed under his feet, and he walked away in a hurry.

  Someone wanted to talk with him on foot, but Xia Yuanji seemed to turn a blind eye and walked away in a hurry.

  Among the hundred officials, many people took a deep breath. There is too much information in this court meeting.

  Many people were thoughtful, and there was a bit of worry in their expressions.

   Jin Zhong is very energetic.

  He shuttled among the retreating crowd, like the eye-catching butterfly, he came to this person and asked in a low voice: "Liu Gong, tell me...is that Wang that Zhang Anshi mentioned, is it you?"

   "Hey... Jin Gong, don't ask, don't ask."

   "Are you really Wang?"

   "Hey... less gossip, less gossip."

  Jin Zhong ran to another person again: "Mr. Li..."

  The man looked solemn, and hurriedly said: "I have something to do, please leave."

  Jin Zhong had no choice but to sigh, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder the old man counted his fingers. When he entered the hall just now, he saw that the hall was full of black air, and there seemed to be a monster aura rising to the sky. No wonder, no wonder."

   "Jin Gong..."

   At this moment, someone walked over, calling out to Jin Zhong.

  Jin Zhong stopped and looked back, but it was Yang Rong and Hu Guang.

  Jin Zhong smiled and said: "Yang Gong, Hu Gong, tell me, is the Wang that Zhang Anshi said about you?"

Yang Rong's expression was still calm, and he smiled slightly: "Seven hundred taels of silver became Wang, and when he saw one thousand one hundred and fifty taels later, he felt something was wrong, so he sold it. Of course, I'm not talking about me. It's my son Yang Gong."

  Jin Zhong was surprised and said: "Mr. Yang's son, if I remember correctly, he should be only eight years old. It is really admirable to have such economic talents at such a young age."

  Yang Rong said calmly: "It's just a chance meeting. When I saw everyone discussing this matter, I realized something was wrong."

  Jin Zhong turned his gaze, landed on Hu Guang, and said, "Where is Mr. Hu, was Mr. Hu ever that Wang?"

  Hu Guang was not as calm as Yang Rong, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't realized it yet. I don't know what happened. This place is sold out."

  Jin Zhong said with emotion: "Mr. Hu is better than me."

   Hu Guang asked in a questioning tone: "Did Duke Jin also do this Wang?"

   Jin Zhong shook his head.

  Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "People say that Duke Jin is resourceful, and it seems that... he is the same as me."

  Jin Zhong smiled and said: "But there are differences, Jin also has a judgment."

  Hu Guang asked curiously: "Then why not follow the example of Duke Yang?"

   "Nothing." Jin Zhong stroked his beard and said slowly, "You are poor."

  Hu Guang: "..."

   Well, he has no power to refute!

  The three of them walked side by side while talking to each other.

  Paused, Hu Guang couldn't help but said: "Zhang Anshi, this kid, is really bad. Xia Gong and Jin Butang, I'm afraid it will be bad. Well, they are put in dire straits..."

  Jin Zhong said with a smile: "This move has the shadow of Monk Yao. It really deserves to be Monk Yao's heir."

  Yang Rong pursed his lips, paused, and said, "Let's wait and see the aftermath. This matter will definitely not be easy."

  ...

   Except for Zhang Anshi, the other courtiers have already left.

  Zhu Di sat comfortably on the dragon chair, and then asked someone to give Zhang Anshi a seat.

  After Zhang Anshi was seated, Yi Shiha poured tea himself, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed.

  Zhang Anshi only took a sip of his tea.

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi firmly and said, "You tell me the truth, did you arrange this early in the morning?"

  Zhu Di's tone was somewhat determined, as if he had already decided.

  Zhang Anshi did not find any excuses, and said honestly: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, it is indeed premeditated."

  Zhu Di smiled and said: "Then you will tell me honestly, how much did the firm earn this time?"

   Well, this is the focus of his heart.

   "I... didn't calculate the detailed accounts, but there is still a net profit of about 15 million taels of silver... Of course, it may not be accurate, and we have to wait for the actual accounts to come out." Zhang Anshi said cautiously.

  Zhu Di: "..."
