Seeing the children of all sizes rushing up, Fang Jifan turned around and was about to run.

Zhu Houzhao grabbed him: "Where are you going?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "I'll go home and find an abacus." ”

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "There are seventeen in total, which can be walked, and there are four more, haha...... Don't think about leaving, Hugh has to be verbose, and when he sees his niece, he doesn't give him any money. ”

"......" Fang Jifan's heart was desperate.

Seeing that the children had arrived in front of him, he boldly pulled his gold belt: "Is this gold?" ”

The timid and cowardly hid in the crowd and looked at Fang Jifan.

The toddler who had just whined and cried: "I want a nurse, I want a nurse." ”

Quietly only stood under the eaves and looked out from afar.

If he is polite, he salutes Zhu Houzhao: "Dad, uncle." ”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and laughed: "Come one by one, don't scare your uncle, he is timid!" ”

Fang Jifan's bitter gourd face said: "Hey, hey, don't touch my gold belt, if it's broken, you have to pay for it, this is gold, it's very expensive." ”

He squirmed and took out the silver ticket from his sleeve, looking a little unhappy, but he still obediently stuffed it into the children's hands: "Call uncle, call uncle and give it." ”

Finally, rushing out of the pile of girls, Fang Jifan gasped......

Zhu Houzhao asked the nurses to take the children away, still proud: "It's strange to say, since I gave birth to Zhu Zaimo, I have always been a female baby, but it doesn't matter, the palace likes it, there is a little beast to inherit the ancestry, no matter how much, it is also annoying, Lao Fang, come, sit, drink tea, our railway, how to repair." ”

"The steel workshop needs to be built quickly, this is easy, the output is low, then build more furnaces, recruit more people, anyway, there is silver. There are also sleepers and roadbeds, to start preparing now, this new city and the old city, but dozens of miles, it is easy to build, but at the moment, this steam car, for the time being, must be kept secret, otherwise, let people know how to secretly buy land, and say to the outside world, we have money, what is wrong with money, I like to pave steel on the road, this point, His Royal Highness the Prince is just right. ”

"Why Hongu?" Zhu Houzhao was a little confused.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "The minister may be a little upright when he speaks, Your Highness don't go to your heart, everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing a string in his head, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so willful, everyone will not feel strange, and they will not think deeply, they just think that His Royal Highness is messing around." ”

"Why not you, everyone says you're a brain-dead!" Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth.

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "No, Your Highness is more suitable." ”

"You're the right fit!"

The two argued endlessly, and finally came up with a compromise plan and let Zhu Houzhao be the fool. And Fang Jifan...... Responsible for the wind.

Hiding in the hall, after a long discussion, Fang Jifan said goodbye, laying the rails, to put it bluntly, it is not a technical problem, the problem is silver, and even, the output of steel is not a problem, the output of a kiln is low, then build hundreds of kilns, the per capita ironmaking and productivity are low, then recruit tens of thousands of blacksmiths, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of silver.

Fang Jifan is not short of silver, in the words of later generations, that is, he has completed the original capital accumulation, and after the rapid completion of capital accumulation, now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

All those involved in the steam locomotive are to sign a confidentiality agreement and not to make a public announcement.

Wang Ao must also be sealed, in fact...... Even if you don't close his mouth, it doesn't matter, this guy who only glanced at the big monster walking, and finally derailed, for the steam locomotive, it's just hehehe......

All...... And it was calm again, as if nothing had happened.

It's just that...... Among the scholars, there is another bad deed of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan.

Wang Bushi is in the Hanlin Academy, and the four words of scum in the world have gradually been forgotten.

After all...... The dregs of the world have been at sea for several years, and there has been no news so far.

People are always forgetful.

The few houses that Wang Bushi bought with a loan have nearly doubled inadvertently, and now, the mansion close to the root of the imperial city has reached 41,000 acres.

Wang Bushi is very satisfied with the present.

He is still in the Museum of Culture and History, and he seems to be very unconcerned about his career.

Whatever, now my Wang is worth hundreds of thousands of taels......

It's just that......

A few idle Hanlin sat on the side, whispering something.

"The housing prices in the old city have plummeted again, which is really miserable, it is said that the former high-gate mansion is now full of wild cats...... Nobody cares. ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter and hoped to remove fifty percent of the soldiers and horses in the old city, after all, ...... With so many people left, there is no way, not only that, but even the Taiping has to move to the new city. ”

"Really? No wonder these days ......"

After hearing this, Wang Bushi wanted to laugh in his heart, so he put down his pen and raised his head: "The old man has also heard about something." ”

Everyone looked at Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi said lightly: "A few days ago, the real person of Longquanguan went to the old city, saying that the feng shui of the old city was not good, it is no wonder that there will be a change in the civil fort at the beginning, and after that, the Tatars surrounded the Beijing Division, the real person of Longquanguan is really a living immortal, he said it is not good, it is not accurate, it is really possible." ”

People, that's it, it's okay not to say it, as soon as I say it, many people gossiped: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder when I lived in the old city, I always felt that my body was a little unfavorable, who knew that I moved to the new city, and my spirit was much better." ”

"A few years ago, several of my concubines suffered from illness one after another, is this also because of this?"

"A few years ago, the heavy snow caused a disaster, and I was born with a vision, do you still remember it?"

Many people nodded their heads, which made sense.

Someone patted his head: "In this way, isn't the land in this old city worthless, and I still have an old house that I haven't sold." ”

Everyone advised: "Hurry up and sell it, that place, bad luck." ”

There are also humanitarians: "According to the old man, as soon as this news comes out, the houses and land in the old city will be even more uncared for." ”

Some people were silent, obviously, there were still people who were reluctant to land in the old city, and thought that the current price was too low.

There are also such as Wang Bushi, anyway, the land in the old city has been sold cleanly, and the industries have been moved to the new city, hoping that the new city will be prosperous, Wang Bushi is full of spirits: "It seems that you don't understand the market economy, the wealth of the country, have you seen it recently?" This book, to be honest, is too deviant, although it is full of nonsense, but there are some words, but it is fair, the value of this land, in the future, will follow the people, the more people, the more prosperous they become......"

When they hear the Wealth of Nations, many people look bad.

Wang Bushi felt speechless, and when he mentioned this wealth of the country, in the Hanlin Academy, there were indeed some taboos, so he said hesitantly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently tossed out a monster that can go by himself." ”

The Hanlin laughed.

Wang Bushi couldn't help but smile, he smiled: "Haha......"

"I see, this monster in the West Mountain is Fang Duwei."

The crowd laughed again.

Wang Bushi snorted and couldn't help laughing.

There are also cautious people, and they can't help but say: "Be cautious, be cautious, don't let the monster listen, he has a bad temper." ”

Everyone tensed, as if after some mockery, their hearts were slightly reassured, so they were all satisfied, and went to work.

Wang Bushi sat still, pondering in his heart, in the midst of the wealth of the country...... Wrong...... The old city is still valuable in theory, because according to the Wealth of Nations, the industry will have the effect of clustering, and the new city will certainly become more and more prosperous, but the old city is not far from the new city, and there will be a conduction effect. Who is it...... What about deliberately going short here?

Wang Bushi's eyes narrowed, and a light swept through his eyes.

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

If something is abnormal, it is a demon.

Isn't it...... Someone wants to take the opportunity to stock up on land......

His eyes lit up suddenly: "It's better to try it in the old city." ”

On the one hand, all this is just speculation, on the other hand, once the news is publicized, it may be expensive to buy land in the old city, and now it is worthless......

He had an idea in his heart, but he kept quiet, sat at the desk, and deliberately read the book.

………………

Early in the morning, Fang Jifan took people to the old city to survey the terrain.

The area around Jingshi is actually a good place to build roads and railroad tracks, and this is a plain, which is completely different from the southern waterways and hilly terrain.

Now this steam locomotive, the power is really miserable, to put it bluntly, and the trains of later generations are completely heaven and earth, as for building bridges and digging tunnels, not only the cost is huge, but also ...... The engineering hurdles to be overcome were no less difficult than building a steam locomotive.

Thus...... Jiangnan is temporarily unable to lay railroad tracks, and even building roads is a long-standing problem.

Along the way, I took the students from the new city to the old city for a circle, and a group of students quickly began to survey and map the geography, and there seemed to be nothing too difficult about it.

After a few busy days, Fang Jifan was already tired and out of breath.

But at this moment, Wang Jinyuan came in a hurry sweating: "Young master, young master, crazy, crazy......"

Fang Jifan looked at Wang Jinyuan, who looked crazy, and said in his heart, no, is brain disease still contagious?

Wang Jinyuan sweated: "In the trading market, the price of pig iron has skyrocketed, and it has more than doubled in one day. ”

"Now as soon as there is pig iron coming out, it will be sold out immediately, not only that, but also wood, and ...... The trading market is crazy, looking for sources everywhere, but I'm afraid that tomorrow, it will go up. ”

The second chapter is delivered, eat, and continue to write.
