Chapter 18: I'll give you a car

Xie Bao said in his heart: What a rich man! Listen to this meaning, there are many such luxurious cars.

Zhang Ziyun was next to him and stopped talking. He Xiang said excitedly: "Second Miss, we should buy one, then it will be much faster and more comfortable to return to the capital!" ”

Zhang Ziyun had no choice but to ask nervously: "This, how much is this car?" "She loves this car so much! But this car is worth a lot of money at first glance, and it would be a shame if you couldn't afford it. There is only Hexiang, the girl who has no heart and lungs to shout.

Wang Yue thought about it, how many cars there were. Selling is selling, it's just too troublesome! Repair, maintenance, refueling, driver training, anti-accident education, vehicle common sense education a lot of work to be done. If you want to make money, there are more things that can be traded. This is different from engineering vehicles, there is no need to expand the scope of use.

"Well, there are not many of these small cars carrying people, and the price is five thousand taels of gold." Wang Yue quoted a sky-high price, so that he could save face by giving it to the emperor. Anyway, there is only one in the world, and there is no semicolon.

"What five thousand taels of gold? Isn't that 50,000 taels of silver? The three people in the car were scared! Even if the British government has money, it is not a small amount.

Hexiang was deflated. She knew the situation of the second lady, and she didn't even have half of the private money. and the family, this is a noisy thing, according to the character of the second lady, I will definitely not ask for it. In order to help the victims this time, the second lady did not know how much effort it took to get 2,000 taels of silver. This was gossiped about by the eldest brother and the second brother.

Zhang Ziyun didn't dare to hope for it, he thought that it might be a thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. But also, take a closer look at the facilities and feel the performance of this car. Even if you tie up all the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, you can't make such a car.

Xie Baoqing never had the luxury of buying this car, and in a county like Wanping County, he didn't have much room to make money.

Wang Yue looked at Zhang Ziyun's pitiful appearance, and couldn't bear it. After all, people are kind to him, who can not give face, the second lady must give face.

While controlling the steering wheel, he said, "The second lady wants a car like this, and it's not impossible." ”

He sat up and asked, "What's the solution?" We really can't afford it! ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "The land this time is 1,500 mu, and I want to buy 10,000 mu." As long as the second miss can negotiate with the family, I will send this car to the second miss. "After settling down, we will have to farm and build, which will require a lot of land. Besides, there must be a reason for giving away such an expensive car, and this reason is very good.

"Great, our Guogong Mansion has 56,000 acres of land in Wanping!" He Xiang was overjoyed and then said to Zhang Ziyun: "Second Miss promised him." ”

Zhang Ziyun asked in surprise: "10,000 acres of land can't cost 50,000 taels of silver, right?" And you gave me a car? ”

Indeed, the turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty and natural disasters depreciated the value of the land. Only the best paddy fields cost only six taels of silver.

Wang Yue sighed and said, "I can have a place to stay, and it all depends on the second lady." I am grateful to give such a small gift, and Miss Wanwang Er should not refuse. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and try it! Land prices have dropped in the past two years, and now it is difficult to sell land. So it's not hard for you! Zhang Ziyun said.

He Xiang seemed to have seen a car belonging to the second lady, she was driving in front and the second lady was sitting in the back, and she couldn't help giggling.

Zhang Ziyun turned around and said, "What a stupid girl!" ”

As soon as he heard that the land was not easy to sell now, Wang Yue moved his mind again, and said to Zhang Ziyun: "After the second lady goes back, she will help me release the news, and she will say that I want to buy a large amount of land in Wanping, and I want to sell it quickly." ”

"You, what do you want so much land for?" Zhang Ziyun asked in surprise. Even if the more than 1,000 disaster victims farmed and fed, they wouldn't need so much land!

"This is called investment, taking advantage of the cheap price of land, eating in large quantities. Cover it, wait for the price to rise and then sell it, and make a lot of money. Relying on this money to support the victims who fled here with me, it is difficult to make a fortune from farming alone. Wang Yue didn't know how to tell the truth, so he flickered first. Besides, this is the fifth ring road of the capital, which is too cheap.

"Okay, I'll help you ask!" Zhang Ziyun didn't know if what he said was true or not. But when people gave her such an expensive car, this favor was too great, so of course she had to agree.

Xie Baoqing was very happy to hear it, the more land Wang bought, the more taxes he had to pay in the future. Xiucai is only exempt from tax of eighty acres, which is much better than the tax of the emperor's relatives. He was also secretly surprised by this kid's wealth, which was amazing. I just don't know how many people's peeps will be aroused by his wealth exposed. Just this kid's little power, it is really nothing in the realm of this capital, and there is not even a person to speak to in the court, so it is easy to be swallowed up. He could already imagine the sight of those giant crocodiles that smelled fishy and pounced here.

The car entered the city through the north gate and returned to the station. Those officials and family members all ran over, and when they saw that their masters were fine, they were relieved. The car just now quickly went out of the north gate and disappeared in a blink of an eye, turning them around in a hurry.

Wang Zhuo received a notice from his younger brother on the walkie-talkie, saying that he wanted to go out for a ride. He also sent people to appease them, but they still didn't believe them, and they almost started fighting.

At noon, Xie Baoqing and Zhang Ziyun were arranged to eat in the reception room, and the dishes were very simple.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy shrimp, Dongpo elbow, stir-fried beef with green peppers, corn rib soup, and more. This is all made by Zheng Chunmei, Wang Yue taught her according to the recipe, and it tastes very authentic, much better than Wang Yue's craftsmanship.

Such a home-cooked meal also made the guests full of praise. After all, they are all fresh dishes and fresh ingredients, many of which I have never seen.

"Lord Xie, how to handle this matter of paying tribute to the emperor?" Wang Yue asked. He didn't have a clue about it.

Xie Baoqing said: "The tribute of Fanguo must go through the Ministry of Rites, and the tribute of the people must go through the procurement of eunuchs, and I can help you notify the procurement eunuchs of Shuntian Mansion." ”

"No," Zhang Ziyun frowned and said, "It's best not to procure eunuchs, otherwise trouble will come!" ”

Wang Yue asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”

Zhang Ziyun said: "If you recruit the procurement eunuch, you won't be able to keep everything here, and you will almost have to take it to pay tribute, and in the end, most of it will go into his pocket." Those people eat human flesh and don't spit out bones, as long as they see someone who has rare things, the upper lip knocks the lower lip and becomes a tribute, and they don't give you a penny. You have no power or power, and no one will reason with you. ”

The second lady was born in the capital, grew up in the capital, and of course she was well-informed.

Xie Baoqing patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I've heard it too!" Then it's not going to be easy. ”

The right to procure eunuchs is very great, and he is nothing in the eyes of others.

Damn, Wang Yue thought to himself, the Ming Dynasty is so dark! These people should be killed, but now is not the time.

"What then?" He had no choice but to humbly ask for advice.

"I'd better beg my dad to help you contact this! It's better than you looking for someone! Zhang Ziyunjue's Wang Yue gave her such an expensive car, which was a bit ashamed, so she always wanted to repay his personal favor.

Wang Yue said happily when he heard this: "Great, can the British really do this?"

Xie Baoqing couldn't help laughing when he heard him ask: "The British Duke is the governor of the Chinese Army, in charge of the Beijing camp and the Praetorian Guard, that is the emperor's close minister, what are you doing here?" ”

Wang Yue thought to himself: Damn, isn't that the commander of the Beijing garrison? Why is it that the British public name at the end of the Ming Dynasty has not been known in history?

Zhang Ziyun sighed: "Daddy's power is not as good as before!" Now the government is controlled by civilian officials, and military generals have been excluded from the government, and they are no longer qualified to participate in politics. However, my father has a special status, and because he is in charge of the Praetorian Guard, he is friendly with the head of the palace. ”

No wonder I haven't heard of it, Wang Yue hugged his fist to Zhang Ziyun and thanked him: "Then please ask the second miss." ”

Zhang Ziyun said with a smile: "It's a good thing to pay tribute to the baby, and it's not just a matter of asking someone to do something." ”

After dinner, the two of them had to go home. Wang Yue gave them a set of sofas, a coffee table, two boxes of red wine, a set of glass wine sets, and two glass mirrors. In addition, I gave the British public a set of glass wine utensils, four Fuguang glass thermos cups, two boxes of red wine, and two boxes of Wuliangye. Let Wang Pengyuan send someone to drive a truck to help them deliver to the house.

On the way back, Zhang Ziyun lifted the sedan curtain and looked back. It was a novel day for her. There are so many new things that have never been heard of and seen in that new city, and there is a new person.

In her opinion, Wang Yue is a strange person, different from the Ming people she has seen. The man looked polite and polite, but he was actually a lawless guy who despised the powerful! But it is polite and humble, polite and courteous. He knew all the novelties he couldn't understand, but he never flaunted them, as if they were meant to be. In particular, the science he said, the study of the existence and operation of all things in the world, is indeed more practical than Confucianism. That electricity and that amazing car are proof of that! This made her more curious about science and eager to find out.

Today, Zhang Ziyun asked Wang Yue what should this city be called? Wang Yue really wasn't mentally prepared. yes, it's time to give the city a name. Victory City? Technopolis? City of Sciences? Sunshine City? Names flashed through his mind.

"Xu Liang, Feng Yuanshan. You guys did a great job today, and you will each be awarded 30 points! Wang Yue said to his two guards.

The two stood up and said, "Thank you, battalion commander!" ”

Wang Yue is regarded as the benefactor of these two, one is that his mother is seriously ill, and the other is that his younger brother is seriously ill, both of which were cured by the medicine given by Wang Yue. For people like them, such a situation is basically a death sentence. I didn't expect to be able to miraculously survive, and the whole family was grateful to Wang Yue, and in order to repay, they volunteered to be Wang Yue's guards.

In Wang Yue's opinion, this is really not a problem, Feng Yuanshan's younger brother is just a bad cold.

Xu Liang's mother had a cough, blood in the sputum, and a fever. On the road, he broke his arm and suppurated, and it did not heal for a long time.

Wang Yue is not a doctor, no matter what he is, he is all cephalosporin. Purulent places with alcohol, red syrup, anti-inflammatory ointments and whatever. It's all good anyway!
