"You go to the house quickly, and let the housekeeper give us ......"

As he spoke, the money clerk looked the shopkeeper up and down, frowned again, and looked at the subordinate who was still a little young and strong.

"You go, I'll write you a note, and you go home quickly with the note, and let the butler bring three hundred taels of silver...... No, a thousand taels of silver rushed to the academy, and there must be no delay for a moment......"

"Yes, sir!"

The subordinate hurriedly responded, and when the money clerk handed him the slip in his hand, carefully stuffed it into his arms, and quickly ran out.

"Let's go, go to the academy."

Qian Wai got into a carriage and let the coachman go to the academy.

At this time, the gentry and wealthy businessmen like Qian Yuanwai did not know how many people were in Beiping City.

……

And in the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi sat opposite each other, but each held a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in their hands.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi looked angry: "Dad, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty is really pitiful, as an emperor, not only those generals don't protect him, but anyone can bully him." ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was wise and wise, but as a result, their descendants were more and more angry than one another, and they forcibly defeated the entire Han Dynasty."

As a result, in the end, even the harem concubines had to be occupied by those traitors......"

Zhu Gaochi, who was only nine years old, couldn't understand the resentment in his father's heart at the moment, but said angrily: Dad, don't worry, when the child grows up, if a traitor dares to bully my Ming royal family, the child will lead Yan Shanwei to kill them one by one. ”

"Very good."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi gently, "But if you kid wants to protect my Ming royal family, you have to practice martial arts first."

The generals in the army are all a bunch of rammers, and if you are not skilled in bows and horses, they will not obey you. ”

Zhu Gaochi raised his head slightly and said seriously: "Dad, the child has an excellent relationship with Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun.

When the children grow up, each of them will inherit their fatherhood.

Naturally, they will be convinced of the children......"

Zhu Di sneered and said, "However, when they get there, they may have more important places to guard, and besides, you are not the only generals you are facing......

"This, ...... child"

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed directly.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, He Zhong walked in from the outside and looked at Zhu Di with a somewhat anxious face.

Zhu Di asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, now the outside is about to fall out because of the matter of the mansion outside the academy." He Zhong hurriedly said.

"The academy's house?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, "We also know about those mansions, don't buy those people if they don't want to buy them, what's there to make a fuss?" Could it be that you think our Yan Mansion is easy to bully? ”

He Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, the price of those mansions was only one hundred taels before, and those rich merchants and gentry all thought it was expensive, and none of them bought it.

And a few days ago, after a heavy snowfall, when the gentry and wealthy merchants wanted to buy them, the price of those mansions suddenly rose by a hundred taels ......"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "Those small courtyards dare to rise by one hundred taels?" ”

"Your Highness, those gentry and rich merchants didn't buy it!" and loyalty.

Zhu Di was a little annoyed and said, "Enter the ...... Damn, what is Guo An thinking, those small broken yards actually dare to ask for three hundred taels of silver, so how much is a small mansion worth in Beiping Mansion? ”

After complaining a few words, Zhu Di looked at He Zhong again.

"How's it going?"

"Back to Your Highness, now it has risen by another hundred taels of silver." And Zhong replied.

"Another hundred ...... A palm-sized mansion with three houses sold for three hundred taels of silver...... Why is Guo An so black-hearted, what are those people still making trouble......"

Saying that, Zhu Di suddenly realized something, and looked at He Zhong with some incredulity, "Could it be that it has risen to three hundred taels of silver now, and those people want to buy it instead, right?" ”

"Your Highness is wise."

And Zhong replied.

Zhu Di's face was full of surprise, "These people are crazy, they didn't buy it when it was a hundred taels of silver, but now they have three hundred taels of silver, but they want to buy it?" …… Now that they want to buy it, what are they making a fuss about? ”

It's just that He Zhong, who is familiar with Zhu Di, can feel how excited his Royal Highness can be at this moment.

Therefore, he hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, Guo Changshi has taken ten of the mansions as great Confucian mansions, and all the great Confucians who come to the library to read and collect books can stay in them for free."

Moreover, these also released the news that as long as they have the title deeds of these houses, their children can enter the academy......"

"Just for one?"

Zhu Di looked incredulous.

"Your Highness is wise." He Zhong hurriedly bowed his head and said.

Zhu Di was still a little puzzled, "Then what are they making a fuss about?" ”

"Your Highness, those people think that the house is expensive, and even some people run in to set up the political envoys and the envoys, making noise about the Yanwang Mansion and competing with the people for profit, and even stealing the ......"

As he spoke, He Zhong's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhu Di's face turned cold, "Hmph! A group of thieves actually wanted to use this to force the Yan Wangfu to lower the price? ”

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi on the side asked slowly: "Dad, that Guo Changshi was abused by so many gentry and businessmen, but the Cao thief mentioned in the book?" ”

Zhu Di: "......

Zhu Gaochi continued to say seriously: "The child reads the content of the book, Cao Thief is also the first to gain the trust of many officials, but in private he is doing some rebellious things? He was cursed by many gentry and eunuchs......"

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "You kid, don't talk nonsense, Guo Qing is just black-hearted towards those gentry and businessmen on weekdays, not like Cao thief?" ”

"He doesn't deserve ...... either"

Zhu Gaochi said: "But a small mansion will be sold for three hundred taels of silver, isn't this a clever robbery? ……”

Zhu Di said solemnly: "Chi'er, then tell me who Guo Qing took from him?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Those gentry. ”

Zhu Di said: "Chi'er, it was those gentry who wanted a house, but Guo Qing didn't force them to buy it...... Also, Chi'er, if it comes to stealing, those gentry are the ones who are really stealing.

They relied on reading some books and lived in the township all day long, oppressing the villagers. After encountering any natural and man-made disasters, he took the opportunity to fall into the well and annex the villagers' fields.

However, in the past, they quoted scriptures and scriptures to themselves every day, sang praises of virtue, and said that they were enlightened by saints and accumulated virtues......

Just like the gentry outside at this moment, as long as it is slightly undesirable and they can't take advantage, they will get anxious, bark everywhere, and spread rumors......

Chi'er, the academy was built by our Yan Wangfu, and the mansions outside the academy are also the mansions that our Yan Wangfu bought from those people and spent money to build.

Now Guo Qing wants a mansion to sell for three hundred taels of silver, why did he take it by chance? ”

Zhu Gaochi frowned and thought for a moment, then said angrily: "Dad, are those gentry and rich businessmen who want to buy it, but they dislike the high price, so they are unwilling?" ”

Zhu Di's face was happy, "It's still our Chi'er smart." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di got up and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Let's go, we haven't gone out for a long time in the house, just take this opportunity to take you out to see the faces of those gentry." ”

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of joy.

Less than a moment later, a carriage was escorted by several escorts to the academy.

……

It will.

Outside the academy, inside and outside a shop with a sales shop, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside, crowded with gentry and wealthy businessmen.

The people with the silver taels in their hands rushed inside one by one with happy faces.

As for the rest of the gentry and merchants who had not yet been brought by the housekeeper of the house, they all stood outside with a black face and waited bitterly.

"Outside the money clerk, you don't have something at home, why did you come here?"

"It's the unfortunate boy in our family who feels that he has to brave the cold winter every day to run from the city to the outside of the city to go to school, and he is really guilty, so he forced us to buy a house, alas...... Such a mansion costs three hundred taels of silver, and they are really here to rob the money! ”

"Yes, it's really a clever robbery, and the Sage Academy has become a place of philistines!"

"Brother Zhang Xian, why are you here?"

"When we came out, we saw that many acquaintances were hurrying here, so I was curious and came over to join in the fun."

"Who would have thought that a group of people who were so shrewd in the past would actually start to help the abuse."

"Alas! I have worked hard for most of my life, how difficult it is to save some silver taels for my children and grandchildren, they are so defeated for such a small courtyard......"

As he spoke, a person suddenly walked out of the sales shop inside, holding an iron horn in his hand and shouting outside: "There are still one hundred and fifty of those houses, you don't have to worry."

From now on, you can only buy a maximum of two sets per person...... The gold steward reassures you that everyone can buy a set of ......"

"What, it's only been half a day's work, how did it sell so fast?"

"Yes, don't they always shout that as long as the price of these houses does not drop for a day, they will not buy it?"

"Brother Wu, seeing that you are so happy, how many did you just buy from it?"

"Good luck, good luck, I bought three!"

"Three? ……”

"Wang Yuanwai, how many have you bought?"

"Alas, I don't know what's wrong with those people, whether they have money or not, I have already gone in with silver, and they only sold two!"

“……”

At this moment, the gentry and wealthy businessmen outside were even more anxious on their faces, and they began to complain about the subordinates who were sent out.

"Those bastards, they eat so much all day, they can't do anything when they are sent to do something, why hasn't the silver been delivered for so long? If they delay, they will be made to look good. ”

"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags ......"

"Sir, sir, the silver has been delivered."

"Very good, follow the old man in with the silver!"

As he spoke, the gentleman held his head high and squeezed into the sales shop with the housekeeper behind him.

The familiar businessmen beside him were even more anxious on their faces.

Soon, he walked out with two deeds in his hand and a happy face.

Most of the surrounding businessmen are in this situation.

No one noticed that in a carriage outside the crowd, there were two figures, one large and one small, who had been looking at the crowd outside for a long time.

"Chi'er, but do you understand?"

Inside the carriage, looking at the gentry and businessmen outside who were full of ugliness, Zhu Di looked sarcastic.

"Got it."

Zhu Gaochi nodded emphatically.
