Chapter 149: Big Profits

Zhu Jin was busy is seeking Zhang Anshi.

“Uncle, Uncle ……”

Jurgen had an anxious look on his face.

Eyeing Zhang Anshi with a book in his hand.

“Uncle, we …… our mansion is not good to sell, until now, also only bought more than thirty, those readers …… one by one, are only dry watching, uncle, we are not a loss? Spent so much silver, got out of the library ……”

Zhang Anshi was very free these days.

He actually missed the four murderers, although he always felt as if they didn’t have enough brains, but staying with them was down-to-earth.

Now that he was bored, he saw that Zhu Jin was as anxious as a hot pot of ants.

“What’s the hurry, what’s the hurry?” Zhang Anshi calmly looked at him and said, “This is just where to where ah, the readers, the brain is not enlightened, one by one refined as monkeys, how can you say buy buy.”

“Then this ……” Zhu Jin carefully looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi sipped his tea without any hesitation before saying, “Price increase, starting tomorrow, for our mansion, fifty taels.”

“Ah ……” Zhu Jin was surprised, “This …… this obviously can’t be sold, how can it still go up?”

It’s an operation that he really doesn’t understand!

Instead, Zhang Anshi said confidently, “It will only go up if it can’t be sold; if it can be sold, what will I go up for?”

Zhu Jin’s brain was confused and he couldn’t come back to his senses for half a day, and after a long pause, he said, “Isn’t it true that the more people buy something, the more expensive it is? Things are more expensive when they are rare.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “If more people buy, we have to sell at thin margins, and if fewer people buy, people will only pay attention if you increase the price.”

“But even if you pay attention, you’re only cursing.” Zhu Jin drooped his head and said.

Zhang Anshi said, “Black and red is also red, what do you know. Oh yeah, there’s other stuff, set me up.”

Zhu Jin nodded helplessly, but did not retort again, saying, “Yes, I know.”

Zhang Anshi looked at his worried appearance and comforted him with great kindness, “Don’t be afraid, this is a very secure matter.”

What can Zhu Jin say, he can t dare to disobey Zhang Anshi s order, so he hurriedly set up, and then …… began to let people hang out the sign.

The price of this sign was put up, causing the capital to be full of people laughing.

Not many people bought that mansion at all, and it even went up.

Nowadays, there are a lot of readers gathered here in Qixia, so naturally, many people quote this as a joke.

…………

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty ……” Yiluoha hurried back to the palace to report the situation, and came to Zhu Di’s heel out of breath.

Zhu Di had been looking forward to his return with great interest, so he said, “Why, how is it?”

Also lost ha slowed down, then truthfully said: “Indeed the flow of people is very great, to go there readers, many times more, slave girl also saw many Zhenjiang’s scholar, accompanied by.”

Zhu Di immediately happy red light: “You see, I slightly means will do a big deal, haha …… you see, how is this means?”

Also lost Ha is bitter face said:” people are quite a lot of …… is a person only earn that a few dollars, Cheng Enbo in order to attract readers, but also built another two areas, get a poetry club, please big Confucian to teach, and spent a lot of silver.”

Zhu Di heard, but also not panicked at all look, and even said calmly: “I do not worry, he has a way to get silver, so that the brocade guards to ask around will know.”

His Majesty wasn’t even worried anymore, so what did he still say? Yiluoha could only nod and say, “If there is any news from the slave girl’s side, I will immediately report it.”

……

After a few more days, Sutera was still crowded.

But that what the Qixia Academy or the same old, the price is up, sold the mansion, or very few.

Many people excitedly discussed that this time, Zhang Anshi would finally lose his money.

When Zhang Anshi made a lot of people jump off the building, and there are even a lot of readers, was pitched to death.

Nowadays, readers all over the world can’t wait for him to be unlucky.

Therefore …… many people began to really pay attention to that Qixia Academy Palace.

More and more people, apart from chatting about the various activities of the library, more and more, are focusing on that academy.

“A mansion like that can be sold for money? It’s really crazy …… haha ……”

“Surname Zhang earns the silver that breaks his son’s heart.”

“Lack of virtue, really.”

“There was a scholar named Zhang Wenfu who actually bought twenty sets, and I heard that he was a scholar from Hangzhou and his family had silver.”

“Haha …… when this bought the book, the pawn is not enough? Now who still fall for this Zhang Anshi’s pawn, that Zhang Wenfu is really foolish.”

More and more people were chatting, and it seemed that everyone was harboring the desire to see Zhang Anshi, and the news appeared in the streets like crazy.

And it’s a topic that thrives, and it seems like the slightest breeze there can cause a huge public outcry.

Actually, this is understandable, people are being victimized by the pitfalls, and at this point in time, if they still fall for it, they would really be a bunch of big fools.

…………

And this street talk, but a copy of it appeared on Zhu Di’s desk.

Zhu Di looked at these reports, his eyes straightened, obviously there was no way he could be as calm as before.

“I …… am losing money this time?”

Yilostha laughed bitterly, “It could be.”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, “How is it possible that Zhang Anshi is so capable.”

“The slave girl thinks that Uncle Cheng En should be trying to use the long line fishing method.”

“Long line fishing method?”

“It is to lose money, but also to get a library, this library although the cost of countless silver, but the surrounding land is worth ah, thus, smashed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver down, just waiting for those readers to come on the hook.”

Zhu’s face became grave, “In that case, these fish didn’t take the bait?”

“It seems like it should be now.” Yisroelha still smiled bitterly.

Zhu Di immediately frowned and said, “Into his mother, this group of readers, they have learned ah, this fish have become a spirit, what to do?”

Yizhuoha cried and laughed: “Maybe …… this deal is a loss, but your majesty …… does not matter, there is Chengenbo in, can always come up with other methods.”

Zhu Di is not willing: “This group of damned readers, I only need their silver, and do not want their lives, how they are so fine? I also believe in the truth, really vacate a lot of the palace as a treasury!”

Also lost ha thought about saying, “Why don’t …… we let Uncle Cheng En sell that mansion a little cheaper? Slave girl think, even if a thousand taels can not be sold, well at least …… one or two hundred taels, always can still be sold.”

Zhu Di face uncertain, but still feel reluctant, after a pause, said: “or let Zhang Anshi to get the idea, he this in the line, however, the road is high, the devil is high, I am a little worried. Don’t look at those readers one by one like a nerd, in fact, are very fine, on a time when, I’m afraid not on the second time.”

Yiluoha nodded, he was worried that Zhu couldn’t accept this defeat.

After all, on weekdays, woolgathering is used to.

This time, however, instead of stealing the chicken, he has lost a handful of rice.

However, Zhu Di was still quite calm at this point after the bout of distraction he had just experienced.

Zhu Di said, “I have to scrimp and save ah, these days, let the palace are calm down, save silver, I want to save for a rainy day, that Annan do not know how long to fight it.”

Yizhi Lostha said, “The slave girl obeys the order.”

…………

Zhang Liang hurriedly rushed from Hangzhou to Qixia.

Here he sought out his son, who was staying at the inn.

As soon as he saw his son, Zhang Wenfu, he was furious.

Stormy!

Directly pick up a stick, then chased Zhang Wenfu hit, side: “Animal, you this animal, weekdays for you to read, let you stay in the capital to study, you in the capital, all day long squandering is just, after all, you are still my son, I’m doing this as a father …… just as the silver are thrown into the water ……”

Zhang Wenfu, on the other hand, ran as fast as he could and surrounded the table with Zhang Liang, doing a Qin Wang around the pillar.

Zhang Wenfu said as he ran in a panic, “Father, if you have something to say, why have you come to the capital.”

“Cough ……” Zhang Liang, after all, was not as young as Zhang Wenfu, and he was tired after running a few laps.

But after hearing Zhang Wenfu’s words, he continued to swing his stick in anger and continued to chase after him, cursing at the same time: “Can I still not come? If I don’t come, our family business will be lost in your hands, you beast, 20,000 taels of silver ah, where does our family have so much silver? You this little beast, you good dead or not, you go and Zhang Anshi like people collusion together, he eats people not spit bones …… you …………”

Zhang Wenfu had to continue to hide, mouth anxious: “and not once to take 20,000 taels of silver, father, twenty years it, only need to take four thousand taels of silver out will be good, our family is big.”

Zhang Liang almost spit out blood in anger: ”Our Zhang family has never lent money to others, when have we ever sued someone for a loan? Bastard, beast, how did I give birth to such a thing as you! A thousand taels of house, or that such sparrow big house, you actually still buy twenty! You …… you …… you know don’t you know, your ah master know this matter, already so angry lying in bed can’t get up, today I don’t beat you to death, I will follow your surname.”

Outside this house, all the people from the same inn came to see the fun, and everyone laughed.

Zhang Liang chased after Zhang Wenfu and finally caught him, and the stick in his hand was drawn down.

Zhang Wenfu let out an ah-ah.

This ah ah, in the eyes of the spectators, as if all of a sudden a good show has reached a climax, all issued a cheer.

“You see, it’s true that I fell for Zhang Anshi’s trick, and it’s a good thing that I fell for Zhang Anshi’s trick.”

“I gave birth to such a son, and I had to beat him to death.”

“Gee ……”

Zhang Liang is angry eyes, this stick also did not leave a residual force, Zhang Wenfu directly head broken blood, lying on the ground motionless.

This time, can be Zhang Liang scared, he is angry, scolding, scolding, beating, but did not really want to get his son dead ah!

A time, directly howling a hand rushed forward, sobbing: “What is it, what is it? Gosh, my son, how am I so miserable …… I run the family business well, how come I met such a thing, that Zhang Anshi harmed my whole family ……”

Saying that, Zhang Liang desperately pounded up his heart.

Zhang Wenfu was still sane, but his head was broken and bleeding, so he looked a bit miserable.

But at this time, he didn’t dare to respond and could only continue to play dead.

Zhang Liang and wailed: “Come on people, come on people, go to ask the doctor ah, my God ah, how did it become this way, that black hearted thief, son ah, you brain west knock book ah, you got on that Zhang Anshi’s when ah ……”

The tears are drying up.

The watchers, however, one by one, became even more excited and talked, “Look at …… look at …… this is what Zhang Anshi that vermin has caused.”

“It’s said to have cost 20,000 taels of silver, isn’t that crazy?”

“It’s a good thing that only a deposit was given …… It is also said that there are several thousand taels …… of silver on the back yet to be paid, if not …… ”

The crowd was excited.

Just then, someone led several servants hurriedly up the stairs.

After this person climbed the stairs, the servant beside him pushed the crowd away, and when this spandex scarf and Confucian shirt person came over with his hands behind his back, this person said under his breath, “Zhang Wenfu, which one is Zhang Wenfu’s younger brother?”

Everyone pointed to the house.

The man then raised his steps and walked in, but after entering the house, he was also a bit surprised to see the situation.

The man then looked at Zhang Liang and said, “Dare I ask if you are Zhang Wenfu?”

Zhang Liang at this time grief, but after all, it is also a big family, to this point, can not let people look at the joke, only mournfully said: “Dog son is not good, let people see the joke, this ……”

He pointed at Zhang Wenfu, “He is the canine son, Zhang Wenfu.”

It was only at this time that Zhang Wenfu snapped his eyes open and rolled over onto his back in one roll, “Are you ……”

“My humble name is Zhou, Zhou Zheng, my humble name is not worthy of mention.” Zhou Zheng bowed towards Zhang Wenfu.

Zhou Zheng ……

Many were foxed.

The name, something familiar.

Zhenjiangfu …… seems to have a Zhou family, I have heard that there is a recurring merit, the family business is very great, and the master of their family house seems to be called Zhou Zheng.

Zhang Wenfu smiled bitterly, not knowing the other party’s intention, so he said, “Dare to ask …… Brother Zhou …… to come here, what is the so-called matter?”

Zhou Zheng looked behind him.

There’s still a lot of lookers packed in there.

He seemed to wish to have a private chat.

But now the Zhang family, father and son, were not in the mood for hospitality.

Zhou political see this situation, although I do not know what happened, but also know, at this time or hurry to explain the intention of the good.

Thus, he smiled and said, “I’ve heard that Sage Brother Zhang has twenty sets of mansions in the Academy Palace in his possession, is that right?”

When Zhang Liang heard it, his face was green again, dare …… this is another one to see the joke?

Zhang Wenfu carefully glanced at his own father, fearing that he would irritate him again, so he carefully replied, “I was confused …… for a moment and bought twenty sets.”

Zhou Zheng heard this and smiled, “Everyone spread this way, I thought it was a fake, this is the best, I wonder if Zhang Xian Di, can you let two sets to my humble self?”

“What? Making two sets?” Zhang Wenfu was a bit confused.

Zhou Zheng said, “Yes, my humble self would also like to buy two sets.”

Zhang Wenfu was stunned, then looked at his dad.

And that Zhang Liang was also confused, this is not another trick, right?

Zhang Wenfu said, “Do you really want it?”

“Right. Want it now.” Zhou Zheng very dryly said, “Let’s according to the current price in the school palace now, these days, they raised the price a few times, from one thousand taels, up to one thousand and fifty taels, right? Silver …… on my side at any time can teach people to fetch, I can immediately ask the guarantor to come, we can now repair the deed.”

He’s dry.

Each mansion was actually fifty taels of silver more expensive.

Zhang Wenfu was giddy and found the other party’s words a bit unbelievable.

He glanced cautiously at his dad again.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he said, “You really want to buy it?”

“Really buy.” Zhou Zheng smiled and said, “There are two sons in the family, want to come to Nanjing to study, it happens that this place …… is still good, so buy two mansions, so that they can study here at ease.”

Zhang Liang said, “Good, then you bring the silver now.”

Zhou Zheng then immediately glared at the servant at the back.

A few moments later, there were people with a box of silver to, not only that, there is actually a Qixia’s messenger also followed, obviously is invited to the guarantor.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, “Can we deliver now?”

The spectators, each one barely able to breathe, were dumbfounded by this.

Apparently many people have never seen so much silver in their lives.

Zhou Zheng said, “This eunuch has always been a bailiff in Qixia, how about having him as a bailiff?”

Zhang Wenfu’s end was about to nod.

Zhang Liang, however, suddenly said, “Forget it, it’s not for sale.”

Zhou Zheng froze and his face became a bit unsightly, “Didn’t we agree on this just now?”

“Changed my mind now, not for sale.” Zhang Liang replied dryly.

Zhou Zheng was a bit ashamed and angry, his face met with coldness: “Why didn’t you say so? Waiting for me to take the silver, hired a guarantor to come, only then do not sell? Being a man should always be true to his word.”

Zhang Liang brazenly said, ”This mansion is my family’s, I can sell it if I want to, and I can’t if I don’t.” If you want to buy the mansion, you can buy it elsewhere. If you want to buy a mansion, you can go to another family to buy, what school palace, is not still for sale? Why come to us?”

Zhou Zheng instantly understood what the other party meant.

This old fox, deliberately swindled him, just to see if he is sincere to buy, and when he took the silver, invited the insurer to come, the man felt that he was sincere, but refused to sell.

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said, “If the Academy Palace still had a mansion to sell, why would it need to find your heads? Hmph, the villain who is not faithful to his word.”

After saying that, with a black face, he seemed to feel unwilling again, “Add another two hundred taels, one thousand two hundred and fifty taels, are you selling or not?”

Zhang Liang rattles like a drum shaking his head: “Not for sale, not for sale, said not for sale, not for sale, this is my family heirloom, to be passed on to the children and grandchildren, sell the mansion, this is not a loser?”

Zhou Zheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and whisked his sleeve away.

The watchers sucked in a breath of cold air.

That schoolhouse mansion …… is actually sold out.

I thought …… had 500 sets?

It’s only been a few days and they’re all sold out?

How can …… clearly everyone thinks it’s black hearted?

It’s clear that everyone is laughing.

There are so many wrongdoers in the world.

The crowd looked at Zhang Wenfu ……

Right, this mansion actually has someone 1,250 taels to buy it, doesn’t it mean that he has earned more than 5,000 taels of silver in just a few days with these 20 buildings on hand.

Five thousand taels, what a terrible amount, how many people can’t earn it in several lifetimes.

Zhang Wenfu was still confused.

Zhang Liang, however, was in a hurry and immediately closed the door behind him, preventing the spectators from continuing to watch the fun.

As soon as he turned around, he immediately said to Zhang Wenfu, “Have all the final payments been settled?”

“There’s still a portion left to close, but there’s a deposit ……”

“Asshole, so what are you waiting for, go settle the final payment.”

Zhang Wenfu was surprised, “Father …… didn’t say ……”

“Say your mother’s head.” Zhang Liang scolded him: “Are you stupid, we earned, we are going to make a fortune, this is at least earned five thousand taels of silver …… five thousand taels …… this is not 20,000 taels of silver earned five thousand, we can only take out the area thousands of taels of silver The down payment silver only.”

Said, excited Zhang Liang a Zhang Wenfu in his arms: “My good son, my good son, for the father did not look at you wrong, have always told people, the future can revitalize my Zhang family business, non-you, aiya …… still froze what to do, go, go, let s hurry to go to the school palace. ”

“Go to …… to do what?”

“Go poking around!”

“Oh, oh ……”

Father and son opened the door again, and the watchers outside had not yet dispersed.

One looked at the father and son with envious eyes.

Who would have thought that he was good enough to look at people s jokes, and now …… it seems that the person who becomes a joke is himself.

…………

The news has gone viral.

Almost every single person, was desperately trying to find out about the Academy.

It’s only been a few short days, and the situation has actually been directly reversed.

It was unimaginable to almost everyone.

But on the contrary, such a thing is happening right in front of our eyes, so we can’t let others disbelieve it.

Some people even think …… that this must be Zhang Anshi s ghost, deliberately releasing this news, just wanting to black heartedly cheat people s silver.

As a result, a number of people are starting to look deeper.

But the results …… of the probe are actually greatly unexpected by everyone.

Really sold out.

More than five hundred mansions with famous names, and many of those who have bought them are people who are usually as famous as they are.

People …… really pulled out the silver. There are good people to ask, the other side actually did not deny, and these people, is by no means possible and Zhang Anshi collusion, partnership to cheat people, people are also tired family business, can not afford to lose that person.

At this moment …… inside and outside Nanjing City, all silent, everyone like a dead mother, as if all of a sudden, the spirit of the gas was drained.

Zhu Jin hurriedly took the account and sent it to Zhang Anshi, excitedly saying, “Uncle, six hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, five hundred and seventy sets of mansions, haha …… just such a piece of land …… more than six hundred thousand taels of silver, ah, this land if it is paddy field , I am afraid that five thousand taels are not worth.”

Zhang Anshi calmly said, “Don’t get excited, it’s just the beginning, it’s just earning a little bit of money, see how excited you are.”

Zhu Jin looked skeptical and said, “There’s one thing I don’t understand.”

The way he looked at Zhang Anshi turned into admiration, and his eyes began to glow with stars, as if he was a released prisoner who had seen a sow.

Zhang Anshi crossed his legs, in front of Zhu Jin, he traditionally does not hide his private, said, “You ask is.”

Zhu Jin said, “uncle, such an expensive price …… according to reason, no one should buy is, and this neighborhood, are ridiculed our mansion, can ……”

Zhang Anshi looked deeply at him, “It seems …… that you are still a little confused in this business, just, give you a lesson.”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “What about this sale, it’s like this, this price of ours, in itself, is something that most of the people can’t afford. But have you ever thought about it, this thing, pressed and not intended to be sold to them?”

Zhu Jin subconsciously nodded, “Yes, yes.”

Zhang Anshi continued, ”So what kind of people are we selling these five hundred or so mansions to, per se? It’s those who really have a lot of money in their family, is more than a thousand taels of silver a lot? For some people, of course, a lifetime may not be able to save, but for some people, in fact, but it is just a hair’s breadth, people may have a big birthday, this one thousand taels of silver is gone, then …… I’ll ask you, this one thousand taels is not expensive?”

Jujin froze for a moment, “This ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “So expensive and not expensive, the problem is not that it is really worth geometry, but lies …… in the eyes of different people just, some people feel expensive things, in the eyes of some, in fact, but is just daily use. That’s why …… I let you increase the price, what is the purpose of increasing the price, is to let those good people each to scold.”

“They scolded the more ruthless, this mansion has become synonymous with expensive, scolded the more fierce, know this matter more, when this mansion is known by the whole world, naturally …… I Ming will not lack of those really rich households, in their eyes, here is a step away from the library, the price is cheap, and there are low-interest loans, which is equivalent to as if do not want to silver as a free gift. Cheap, and there is a low-interest loan, which is equal to as if not to silver for nothing, here to place a property, occasionally let the children live here, infected with the literary atmosphere here, is simply too cost-effective.”

Zhu Jin suddenly realized, “It turns out that the more ferociously others scold us, the better our business is.”

“That’s the truth.” Zhang Anshi lamented, “This is the silver that I earned by taking my name and honor, and I don’t know how many scoldings and grievances I’ve suffered for this.”

Zhu Jin said, “Uncle you think a little more openly.”

Zhang Anshi then smiled, “For the sake of His Majesty, for the sake of the countryside, for the sake of our great cause, this little aggravation of mine is nothing.”

“Da Ye?” Zhu Jin mentally spat a little, who’s Daeye was staring at people’s money bags.

Zhang Anshi continued, “Prepare another thousand sets for me, and in a few days …… it will be on the market.”

“Still selling?” Zhu Jin froze, “Uncle, didn’t you say that …… only those who are truly not poor in silver …… will ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Initially buy, are not bad silver people, but soon, the market will be people around to buy, so that the price of this second-hand afraid to go up, then there will be a lot of people agree with its value, once someone agrees with the value of it, then there are silver to buy the people, or barely bite the bullet can also buy the people, will be a swarm of people to buy, this reasoning, this reasoning. Do you understand?”

Jukin: “……”

Zhang Anshi sighed: “Sins ah, sins ah, tomorrow take a thousand taels of silver, go to the temple to donate some incense and oil money to me, I am kind …… hearted and intolerant, I have to do a little more good. By the way, the new house to me up, one thousand five hundred taels a set, a penny can not be less. ”

Jukin: “……”

Zhang Anshi said, “What are you waiting for?”

Zhu Jin nodded his head, “I understand, I will go and do it now.”

Zhang Anshi heart sigh, to be honest …… the leeks of the readers, is really good cut, there is no way, this blame who came to it, who let this world rich people Tianlian Qianlian, the poor people do not have a place to stand?

Earn the silver of these people …… of Tianlian Qianlong is not a loss, just as …… let these rich households …… donate some incense oil money to me Zhang Anshi.

…………

“Your Majesty …… Your Majesty ……”

Yilungha ran as fast as he could, he seemed to have regained his youth all of a sudden, even the long-lost male hormones were surging in his body at the moment.

“Your Majesty …… is not good, make a big fortune, make a big fortune, the mansion …… is all sold …… all sold … …Just the hundreds of acres of land …… have actually been sold out.”

Yizhuoha said, and when he entered the threshold, he tripped directly because he was too excited, and with an ouch, his body lurched, and he landed face first.

Zhu Di was originally resting on Empress Xu’s leg, huffing and puffing as he dozed off.

Hearing this, he rolled over on his back and got up: ”How can it be that someone would be fooled even like this? Didn’t you say that the readers have become savvy? I was dreaming about this just now!”
