The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1840

[1840. Chapter 1750 Don’t let Fang Jifan escape]

Fang Jifan is a man of his word.

This is why he is loved both inside and outside the court.

Wang Jinyuan’s execution ability is also astonishingly high.

In fact, although Wang Jinyuan felt that the young master’s move was contrary to his philosophy, after all, he did not want to regard Xishan as a shantang. Is it ridiculous that Xishan has become a shantang?

But he didn’t need Fang Jifan to explain anything to him, because it was unnecessary. He believed in fulfilling every order given by the young master, so Wang Jinyuan hurriedly went to do things.

The first thing to do was to quickly gather people from Xishan Bank and work out a preferential home loan interest rate. Then they turned around, gathered people, and started to advertise it widely.

Once Xishan moves, the effect will be astonishing.

In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Countless fast horses quickly passed through the express delivery stores, quickly spreading the news to every state capital in the world.

All those who still have expectations for Fang Jifan.

Especially those who had bought a mansion before, originally thought that they were tied to the same boat with Fang Jifan, just waiting for Fang Jifan to intervene. It can be said that I look forward to it day and night.

But when they learned the news, someone vomited blood on the spot.

Three liang…

At this time, someone has quickly sent the news to the Ottoman Embassy.

It was Zhu Cheng who got the news first. Zhu Cheng almost fainted after reading the report.

He even thought he had seen it wrong, so he looked again several times. He believed his eyes, and then he was frightened and quickly found Li Zheng.

Li Zheng stayed up all night, and his eyes were red. At this time, he was still desperately comparing the market price of the new city and calculating the money Xishan had invested in the new city. He wanted to know when Fang Jifan could no longer sit still. When will we take action?

In his mind, it was a silent struggle to see who could blink first.

At this moment, I must be calm, but Fang Jifan must be more panicked than me.

“Li Zheng… Li Zheng…”

For the first time in the Chinese embassy, someone called Li Zheng by his first name.

The dignified minister, the envoy of the Ottoman Emperor, in this country’s embassy, Li Zheng is the sky. Who among them, high and low, does not need to respect him?

But now… Li Zheng couldn’t help but frown, showing disgust.

Immediately, his apartment was opened with force. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Cheng’s rude look.

Zhu Cheng gritted his teeth and waved the report in his hand: “What, Xishan New City, what other methods do you have?”

“Wait…” Li Zheng looked unhappy, but after all, he was a gentle man, so he would not turn against him directly. He had to act more calmly than anyone else: “Just…”

“Just what?” Zhu Cheng sneered: “You can see for yourself!”

He flicked the report and it fell onto Li Zheng’s lap. face.

Li Zheng’s eyes stared at Zhu Cheng gloomily, but then he smiled kindly.

Pick up the memorial, open it, and bow your head.

But this kind smile is just a flash in the pan.

His body trembled slightly.

“No, no…” His lips trembled: “This is absolutely impossible, that little thief Fang Jifan, is he crazy… is he crazy?”

Li Zheng still looked incredulous.

After all, he never expected that Fang Jifan would break the jar directly.

Actually only three taels of silver…

So… how can this house in Xishan New City be profitable?

It’s clear… it’s clear…

Immediately, Li Zheng became panicked. He had invested such a huge amount in the early stage, seven to eight million taels of silver. This was all real gold and silver. Now these down payments were all thrown into the water. .

The scariest thing is that even if all your down payment is gone, even if the mansion is sold, the tens of millions of taels of silver borrowed will still be a bottomless pit.

what does that mean?

This means that not only is the down payment gone, but those caravans and merchant houses still owe Xishan Bank countless amounts of money on credit.

This interest rate is an astronomical figure.

If the loan cannot be repaid, Xishan Bank will never suffer a loss, because borrowing requires collateral.

So… wouldn’t it be… wouldn’t it be… that all the Ottoman properties in the Ming Dynasty, whether they were caravans or trading houses, would all be confiscated?

Isn’t this just…all the wealth disappears overnight?

“This… this…” Li Zheng’s mouth trembled, but he was still in disbelief: “No, something must be wrong. Is this Fang Jifan going to die together? His Fang Jifan… no longer makes any money? This person is greedy and greedy. How could you do such a thing?”

“There must be something wrong. Something is wrong. Hurry, quickly put down all the mansions that have been sold and withdraw them from the shop. Yes… yes, there is nothing we can do. , as long as we have enough money, we can raise the price again, we can buy up mansions on the market, and then buy up all the new houses, this way… this way…”

Zhu Cheng was still listening to Li Zheng’s nonsense. He was heartbroken at this moment, but he couldn’t help but sneer: “Yes, we can snap up all the new and old houses. In this way, we can drive up the prices again, but… …How much money does this cost? Do we still have money? Our entire wealth is not as good as a hair on Fang Jifan’s body. Li Zheng, no matter how meticulous your so-called plan is, no matter how hard you think about it, you are still alive. We will definitely lose. Do you know why? Let me tell you, because compared with the so-called little thief in your mouth, his strength is a hundred times a thousand times that of yours. He doesn’t even need to know who is plotting against him. I don’t need to know your plan, but I can kill you with just a pinch of my finger. Now, are you still talking nonsense?”

Li Zheng suddenly replied. God came, these words were like piercing his heart.

His expression became extremely terrifying, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant. His body swayed slightly and he forced a smile: “Haha… Zhu Cheng, it seems that you have been bribed by someone in the Ming Dynasty. How dare you say this? Do you still have Osman or the Holy Emperor in your heart? Today I will know that you have already turned your heart to the Ming Dynasty. Tell me quickly, what benefit did that little thief Fang Jifan give you? “

Zhu Chengnu? It’s so heartbreaking that he rushes forward like crazy.

Li Zheng snorted coldly, with a merciless look on his face, and said solemnly and uprightly: “I have received the grace of the Holy Emperor. I don’t want to repay, but I recognize the thief as my father. Now I have exposed it. Not only do I not want to repent, I actually want to kill someone.” He is really crazy if he can’t silence him. Come and capture him!”

The quarrel between the two people had already caused the officials and civil and military officials outside to pry their heads, and everyone remained silent.

But after all, he was an imperial envoy and an envoy. After hearing this, the military officer did not dare to hesitate and rushed in immediately to capture Zhu Cheng.

Zhu Cheng was extremely angry, but Li Zheng said to him plausibly: “I will report today’s matter to the Ming Sheng Emperor. When someone comes, he will be detained and his house will be searched to see what is hidden inside.” “

He put his hands behind his back and saw that the others were panicking, but he wrote lightly: “As for what happened outside, there is no need to panic. It is just that we will die together with that little thief. I, Osman, have suffered a lot, and that thief, Fang Jifan, has suffered even more losses. Seriously, if we panic, we will fall into that little thief’s trick. “

“Get out!”

After Li Zheng ordered, the public room became silent for an instant, and finally he was left alone. Only at this time, Li Zhengcai. Slumped down on the chair.

He rubbed his sleeves uneasily, his face was miserable, and he began to feel… that he was going to die.

The huge wealth has all been lost here. The Ottoman management and arrangements here over the past few years, as well as countless caravans and gentry who are attracted to the Ottomans… I am afraid that at this time, they will all be ruined.

But…

he was still comforting himself.

In any case, that Fang Jifan… only killed eight hundred enemies and lost one thousand, yes… that Fang Jifan… was finished… haha… haha…

Fang

Jifan finally showed up.

He entered the palace and appeared in the cabinet as if nothing was wrong.

Just as he was about to go in, a head of the Criminal Department happened to come out.

When the head of the Criminal Department saw Fang Jifan, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. Fang Jifan smiled at him and said, “Hello.”

The head of the Criminal Department came to the cabinet to deliver official documents. After hearing Fang Jifan’s words, he hurriedly bowed: “Exit… Your Majesty… I have met Duke Zhen Guo.”

Fang Jifan nodded to him with a look of spring breeze and immediately entered the cabinet.

The head of the Criminal Department was about to return to the Ministry to resume his duties, but at this time he hesitated and refused to leave.

Now everyone in the capital is looking for the Duke of Zhen. The real master has appeared. We can’t let him run away.

It should be noted… that the head of the Criminal Department… also has someone in his family who purchased a house in Xishan New City.

So, he poked his head around and watched with a lewd expression.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and passed many people by.

When these scribes saw Fang Jifan, they all gave way and bowed aside.

Fang Jifan didn’t bother to nod in greeting and went straight to his office.

Next door was Liu Jian’s apartment. It seemed that someone entered Liu Jian’s apartment and said something, so… Liu Jian’s cough came from next door.

Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention. He looked at his documents and said, “Here.”

A clerk came in and said, “What are your orders

from the Duke of Zhenguo?” Fang Jifan said with a straight face, “Why is there no memorial on my desk? “

? Damn it, I am a cabinet scholar, and drafting memorials is my duty. Why do you look down on people? “

The clerk thought to himself, you haven’t seen anyone for more than a month, and this public house is gathering dust. It’s good that those two cabinet ministers weren’t responsible for those votes, but now you have someone else to blame?

Of course, you can’t reason with the Duke of Zhen. You are right, he has a mace.

The most important thing is that you don’t have the courage!

Although the clerk felt aggrieved, he still said without hesitation: “Students will die!”

…

I am going to Sanya for a meeting in the next few days. The update may be a little unstable, but of course, it will be updated twice a day. .
