The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1843

[1843.Chapter 1753 Fang Jifan will never be born]

On the other hand, the girl from the Liu family stepped in briskly. Liu Er hesitated and followed.

Although there is furniture here,…it is expected that people who will buy these mansions in the future will not put anything luxurious.

Therefore, the people who decorated such a wooden house did not deliberately add any luxury items, just ordinary tables and chairs.

But this house is clean and bright, with windows, and the windows are made of glass, so the sunlight can shine in. This standard, in fact, is still a bit dim in later generations. For example, the balcony is due to the construction technology of this era. Such a house, in Later generations will have been eliminated long ago.

But compared to the homes of these people now, they are much brighter.

The guy dutifully introduced, this is the hall, this is the restaurant, this is the balcony, and here are the three rooms.

Yes, outside the house, at the end of the corridor, is a public toilet. You don’t need to go downstairs to use the toilet.

By the way, there will be lights at the ceiling. Of course, what lights they will be has not yet been determined.

The waiter said very matter-of-factly: “But…the wiring pipes have been reserved. As long as the lights can be used, they will be installed by themselves. By then, there will be no need to use candles.”

Liu Er actually heard these words. He didn’t quite understand, but he was in a state of confusion, looking left and right.

Along the waistline of the wall, there was green paint at the bottom and white walls at the top. There were even special skirting lines in the corners. He suddenly… felt that his heart was at ease…

Such a house… now he was Of?

From now on… I, my mother, and my sister will all live here?

Liu Er was never a person who enjoyed himself. He lost his father when he was young, suffered from famine, and suffered a lot. For a person who has never tasted honey, suffering is just a common thing.

But now…he tasted candied fruit for the first time.

He stood in the center of the hall, a little dizzy.

The girl from the Fang family laughed and looked for her room excitedly.

Liu’s mother seemed much more reserved, but tears were about to come out of her eyes. For people like the Liu family, finding a place to live and settle down was something they simply didn’t dare to think about.

She looked inside hard and had no intention of listening to the man’s endless introduction, but even though the house was an empty shell, there was nothing, and there was a piece of mud underground. , as long as there is a cover on the head, for Liu’s mother, this… is better than anything else.

She thought about how happy she would be if her husband had not died, or if he was still alive in heaven.

Almost every person who came to see the house was excited.

Like Liu Er, they are all ordinary people.

They looked at everything here, but their actions were very cautious. Even if there were many people, they would never dare to touch the tables, chairs and walls here easily. This is out of an instinct of lack of confidence, subconsciously feeling that this mansion is too valuable.

That day… countless mansions were sold.

And then… the news spread further.

Some people are beginning to worry about rising prices for new homes.

Fortunately, in Xishan New Town, only one household is allowed to purchase one set, but some people are still worried that… such sales will cause prices to skyrocket.

Even some people who had previously owned a house, such as Li Zheng, the Ottoman Minister of Rites, began to mistakenly believe that this was Fang Jifan’s retreat in order to advance.

Yes, this piece of shit is so cunning. He first attracts people at a low price, and then it will be a good seller. At that time, he will slowly raise the price back. Yes, that must be the case. This guy is really as cunning as a fox.

But soon, Li Zheng fell into despair.

Because the second day, the third day, and even the tenth day, even a month passed.

This price… still remains unchanged.

After all… there is no such thing as a limit. There is plenty of land, so sell it first, and then build after it is sold.

In this case, many anxious people have gradually become more at ease. What everyone is worried about is that prices will continue to skyrocket, eventually reaching a point where everyone is disappointed.

If there is no such urgency, then those who do not have enough money can slowly raise funds.

In less than a month, the sales volume of the house reached 100,000.

Since then… it’s still selling like hot cakes.

Although this sales volume is more on paper.

But it still carries the expectations of countless people.

What’s more, people actually came all the way from other states. This house is worth the price.

Li Zheng already knew… that he was finished.

Some merchants have begun to come looking for him.

These people who are usually pampered.

They used to look forward to Ottoman.

After all… hundreds of years of tradition of learning and excellence leads to officialdom. For hundreds of years, the concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how hard Fang Jifan went, how many things the court did, but what is rooted in the bones, how can it be easily broken? .

As Wang Shouren said, it is easy to break a thief, but it is difficult to break a thief in the heart.

These merchants, or the Confucian scholars before them, still believed that Emperor Suleiman, who was far away in Ottoman, was right. Behind the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there is a huge crisis.

Sooner or later, the famous church abandoned by the Ming Dynasty will come back.

This is also the reason why they are willing to cooperate with Ottoman’s Confucian scholars and cooperate with each other internally and externally.

But now, they have invested all their wealth and lives in it.

Seeing that the daily mortgage payment was weighing them down, they couldn’t even sell the mansion in their hands for three taels of silver. When they were anxious, they wanted to sell it, but they were unwilling… The gold and silver flowing in their hands had already been After running out of money, the original industry was also in danger after losing the flowing gold and silver, so we had to find ways to sell off the property.

But what followed was their anger.

They had a guilty conscience and did not dare to admit that they had any connection with Osman.

But the current situation is burning with anger.

So finally someone couldn’t bear it any longer and jumped out directly, searching for the Chinese embassy in a big way.

They cried and cried, beat their chests and feet, and complained like crazy.

When he saw the Ottomans, he grabbed his clothes and asked questions.

You know, not long ago, they were ‘masters’ and gentle people, but now, they have become shrews, and they are no longer gentle at all.

“Where is Li Zheng? Where is Li Zheng? Tell him to come out and speak.”

The angry man roared.

The scribe who had to come out to meet them looked even more anxious and said with a grimace: “Shilang Li…Shilang Li has disappeared.”

“What? What about the house we have on hand? What will we do when we build it?

” Unexpectedly, Li Zheng, who was calm and wise not long ago, actually escaped, so he became even more angry.

Li Zheng had indeed escaped.

If he doesn’t leave, the matter will be exposed, and such a conspiracy against the Ming Dynasty will not be tolerated by the Ming Dynasty.

He could even imagine that if Fang Jifan knew that he had done something dirty to him, he would have to cut himself into pieces. He knew that Fang Jifan was capable of anything.

What’s more… he was not only afraid of the Ming Dynasty, but also afraid of these Confucian scholars and merchants who came to settle accounts with him.

These people who have lost everything will not let themselves go easily.

So overnight, he was a flying horse heading west, like a bereaved dog.

But… there is no way out. He can’t go to the Ming Dynasty. He returns to Ottoman. The Ottoman wealth has been squandered by him. Will Emperor Suleiman be willing to let him go?

Countless horrific things flashed through Li Zheng’s mind, but he could no longer care about anything else.

The matter of the Ottoman embassy was eventually exposed.

All of a sudden… Jingli started to be in an uproar again.

It turns out that the real man behind the previous price increase was an Ottoman, the Minister of Rites, a thief named Li Zheng who harmed the people.

On that day, Shuntian Mansion surrounded the Ottoman embassy.

Immediately, a sea arrest document was issued to arrest Li Zheng.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the palace, looked at the memorials one after another with great pleasure.

I thought that at this moment, countless people would want to impeach Fang Jifan.

But what he didn’t expect was that in the past two days, he suddenly became silent.

It was rare for Zhu Houzhao to feel better today, so he summoned all the officials to see him.

After being enthroned, all the officials came to see him. Liu Jian and Fang Jifan were the leaders. They immediately prostrated themselves and shouted long live.

Zhu Houzhao didn’t sleep well these days and looked a little haggard. He first glanced at Fang Jifan, exchanged glances with Fang Jifan, and then said: “I have been in disobedience a few days ago, but I have inherited the throne of the emperor. Although I am seriously ill, But it’s not that I don’t pay attention to the matter. I have seen many impeachment memorials in the past few days, all of which impeached Duke Zhen. They said that Duke Zhen caused people’s hearts to wander. Is this possible?”

Zhu Houzhao said and glanced at the ministers in the palace.

The ministers below were unanimously silent.

Zhu Houzhao said: “I dared to say something in the memorial, but why did I dare not say it in front of me?”

“…”

The palace was still as silent as death.

Zhu Houzhao simply raised a memorandum, opened it, and read the name in the memorandum loudly: “Liu Kuan, the censor of the capital, come out and speak.”

Someone in the class hurriedly came out and bowed down and said: “I am here.”

“This is it .”

Is the impeachment memorial written by your Majesty? Let me see…you said the Duke of Zhenguo…”

Liu Kuan looked horrified and said hurriedly: “Your Majesty, this memorial was indeed written by me, but at that time, I didn’t He is sensible, but the investigation is not true. He has really wronged the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo… reported it to the country and brought peace to the people. This unworldly duke, I have the heart of a villain. I feel remorseful and feel extremely ashamed every time I think about this. I… I am very wrong. Your Majesty, please don’t listen to the words in the memorial. I will die.”

Zhu Houzhao was confused.

It’s really strange. A few days ago, everyone was jumping up and cursing, as if Lao Fang had done something heinous and bad. Why did he turn around, but all of them scolded themselves instead, and lifted Lao Fang to the sky.

Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but glance at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan smiled, his face calm and calm.

Well, he was used to such flattery.
