Chapter 256: The Prince Erupts
After Xie Xun left the ferry, he changed his clothes and returned to the capital.
His stand-in is in the west of the city at the moment, pretending to be on patrol.
After all, real estate is a big deal, too much investment is made, and it can't sell off-plan housing like modern times, so he must make the plan perfect.
When he went, the money steward was digging a hole with the workers. Although in the same city, the landform may also be completely different, for example, the red jade mine found in the south of the city is only a few hundred thousand square meters of land, but the surrounding area is normal soil.
Xie Xun asked people to dig a pit to explore the soil first, and there was no other meaning, just to understand the topography of the newly acquired land, but as soon as the others arrived, before they could ask about the progress of the money manager, there was a commotion in front of them.
"Cinnabar! This is cinnabar! ”
When the money steward heard the commotion, he walked over with some displeasure and scolded, "What are you shouting about if you don't work well?" ”
A worker smiled and held a vermilion stone in front of the money steward, "Big steward, cinnabar!" Cinnabar was dug up underneath! ”
Cinnabar is easy to identify.
Xie Xun only glanced at it, and was sure that the worker presented it was indeed cinnabar ore, or the top one.
Cinnabar can ward off evil spirits, and can also be used in medicine, and it is a real treasure in ancient times, and the price even exceeds that of silver.
The news that Xie Shizi's newly acquired land had dug up cinnabar ore soon spread throughout the capital, and even the people in the summer resort knew about it.
Countless people were red with jealousy.
"Xie Shizi is worthy of being the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and if he buys a piece of land at will, he will either dig out jade ore or cinnabar."
"Tut-tut, this is really unworkable for us ordinary people!"
……
The voices of envy, jealousy, and hatred come and go.
The crown prince was the first to break out, because he knew that Xie Xun's newly acquired land was given by the Wang family.
"The Wang family is really too deceitful, such a good piece of land is not dedicated to the prince, but to Xie Xun that dead man!"
If it is given to him, then the cinnabar mine is his!
The queen was also crazy with jealousy, but she didn't dare to arch the fire again, "The Wang family didn't know in advance that there was cinnabar under that land. ”
Wang Qiheng really didn't know that at this moment he regretted all his intestines.
It took several generations of Wang's business to connect the land in the west of the city, but it was only used for leasing, and the annual income was only a hundred thousand taels.
A cinnabar mine, even if it doesn't do any processing, can earn tens of millions of taels.
He gave Xie Xun such a golden egg for nothing!
Wang Qiheng and his staff lamented that they had no luck, so the servants came to report and the prince summoned them.
The prince strained his face, looking very displeased, and Wang Qiheng did not salute as in the past, and came to help him in person.
The prince was originally resentful of the Wang family because of Wang Jinxiu's ignorance at the palace banquet, coupled with the matter of the land in the west of the city, the prince only wanted to drag Wang Qiheng out and beat the board fiercely, where could he still be courteous?
The queen told him again and again that he must pay attention to his attitude towards Wang Qiheng, but he didn't want to listen.
was slapped in the face by the Wang family three or four times, does he not want face as a prince of a country?
The prince didn't say that he was flat, Wang Qiheng could only kneel.
The prince saw that Wang Qiheng had no unhappy emotions on his face, so he calmed down his anger a little, waved his hand and asked the palace people to help Wang Qiheng up, and gave him a seat again.
"Do you have any plans for the land in the west of the city?" Although the prince still called his wife and brother, his tone was a little cold and hard.
Wang Qiheng seemed to be stunned, "What are you going to do?" That piece of land has been given to Xie Shizi, and it has become more famous in the Yamen. ”
"Then you willingly gave the entire cinnabar mine to Xie Xun for nothing?!" The prince was so angry that he wanted to flip the table.
Wang Qiheng still looked stunned, "Otherwise? What else can the minister do? Buy it back? Now the price of that piece of land is probably going to be very high~~"
Although he was crazy with jealousy in his heart, Wang Qiheng didn't plan to do anything to break the promise, besides, Xie Shizi and the Zhenguo Mansion If you want to break the contract, can you break the contract?
Now the Wang family is still dormant, and he doesn't want to confront the Xie family because of a cinnabar mine. The Langya royal family has accumulated wealth through three dynasties, and a cinnabar mine can afford to lose.
"Naturally, I want to get that piece of land back!" The prince gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "It must not be cheap, that dead man!" ”
Wang Qiheng secretly said: Xie Shizi is not the land that he got for nothing, and he helped the Wang family solve the big trouble by himself.
"The Langya Wang family is a family with faith, and the ministers are afraid that they will not be able to help His Highness, so please forgive Your Highness." Wang Qiheng bowed and bowed.
Like the previous prince's concubine before marriage, Wang Qiheng did not intend to condone the prince's absurd behavior.
Bang, the prince slammed his fist on the table, "Prince Ben sees that you are a soft bone at all, and he is afraid of that Xie Xun!" As for you, how can this prince rely on you? I'm afraid that before the fight starts, the Wang clan will bow down to the Xie clan! ”
"Your Highness is cautious." Wang Qiheng solemnized his face, "The emperor gave the marriage in the hope that His Royal Highness's marriage would be harmonious and beautiful, not to provoke infighting." ”
The prince said in his heart, "You are a liar!" But he didn't dare to make a big fuss, as the queen mother said, the Langya Wang clan is powerful, in his faction, even the expedition to the east of the marquis has to stand back, if he loses the Langya Wang clan, this battle for succession, he will be defeated.
This is also the reason why the queen endures the Wang family again and again.
As soon as Wang Qiheng left, the prince went to the queen angrily to complain.
"The Wang family doesn't have the slightest reverence for this prince at all!" The prince's chest rose and fell violently, "Queen Mother, can't this prince change his marriage partner like the fourth child?" ”
Although the Yu family is a little lower, Mr. Youya has a good attitude towards the fourth child, and he also took the initiative to help the fourth child choose a beautiful merchant girl as a concubine, where is it like the Langya Wang family, and he does not take him as a prince in his eyes at all.
If the Langya Wang clan was willing to let him take a merchant girl, he didn't need to go to the idea of the land in the west of the city. Anyway, everything is Wang's, it's wrong!
The queen was also a little annoyed, even if Wang Qiheng refused to do what the prince said, it would be better to say it softly!
The prince is a violent temper and needs to be smoothed. Wang Qiheng is an old oilman in the officialdom, and he can be an official in the position of the left waiter of the fourth rank at a young age, which shows that he is sleek, but he is unwilling to coax the prince.
The queen couldn't help but think about it, could these behaviors be intentional by the Wang family?
Wang Qiheng did it on purpose.
Since the ultimate goal of the Wang family is to do Cao Wei's things, from the very beginning, the Wang family will never be too soft in front of the prince and queen.
Especially the land in the west of the city is related to the credibility of the Wang family, his tone is a little softer, the prince will inevitably have to inch in, and when the time comes, it will not be easy to deal with.
"Since the Wang family is so rich that he even gave away a cinnabar mine for nothing, then Wang Jinxiu's dowry can't be thin." The queen stretched her neck angrily and beckoned her cronies to come over, "You go and relay the words of the queen to Wang Shilang as they are." ”
The prince was overjoyed, "Yes! If Wang Jinxiu's dowry is less than 30 million taels, the prince will not have sex with her! ”
If you don't have a round house, you can't give birth to a son-in-law. The concubine has no children, and it is just an ornament.
If you don't believe it, don't worry!
The depression in the prince's chest was suddenly swept away......
