MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1798 The rich can rival the king but not the official

  Chapter 1798 The rich can rival the king but not an official

   This is the opening ceremony of Lanyu Line.

   When the first steam train arrived, it seemed deserted.

  The two brothers are satisfied with this.

  After they got off the bus, the guards at Yumenguan Station hurried over and saluted Zhang Heling.

  Zhang Heling looked around: "Why is there no one here?"

   "Return to the business." The one who spoke was the local Zhancheng.

  In Daming, each station has a station official, and the stations are of different sizes, each with a number of people ranging from dozens to dozens. In addition, there are also hired technicians and assistants.

The prime minister at this station said: "We have been deeply taught by the two uncles of the country. Although it is a traffic opening ceremony, we will never be extravagant and wasteful. We must keep everything simple and try our best to reduce expenses. Under the inspiration of the two uncles of the country Next, such common etiquette, of course, can be exempted."

  The two brothers Zhang Heling looked at each other, smiling and approving.

  Look at this Yulan line, compared with other lines, it is better.

   Save money... which is of course excellent.

  So, under the leadership of Zhan Cheng, the Zhang family brothers roughly inspected the station staff and the platform, and suddenly felt hungry.

  Speaking of which, I ate two mouthfuls of steamed cakes early in the morning, and now... I haven't eaten a single grain of rice yet.

  Zhang Yanling felt anxious, why...won't he bring it to dinner?

  He couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to the standing officer: "It's getting late, it's already three poles in the sun, and there's nothing to see here, I think it's time for dinner."

   "Yes, yes, yes." Zhan Cheng hurriedly said: "It's time to eat, then...humble farewell."

  Farewell to...Farewell?

  Zhang Yanling opened his eyes wide: "This... this... where are you going to eat?"

"Go home." Zhan Cheng said: "Don't worry about the job, my home is not far from here, I will be back in a while, and I will never leave my post without authorization, not to mention... there are two shifts in the station, and there will be people taking turns to take over. If there is no one in the station, please take care of the two superiors."

   This standing Cheng said, then turned around and wanted to leave again.

  Hungry Zhang Yanling felt that he was about to pass out, so he quickly grabbed the sleeve of Zhan Cheng and said, "Aren't you going to invite us to dinner?"

Zhan Cheng straightened his face, and said seriously: "What are you talking about? Everything should be kept simple. I don't know how humble it is in other places. But on this Lanyu Line, there are a total of 33 stations, and every one of them is self-denying and respectful. Thrift is the top priority, I have never been on a job, and I still eat and drink. When the line was built, I was humble but I also worked in the construction section. On the Lanyu Line, I would never dare to spend a penny of public money. Disgraceful, you two are on business, offended, not to mention eating here, even a sip of water is not given, it is not unreasonable, but the law is here, dare not disobey, if people listen to it, the humble actually ask Going to work to eat and drink, maybe I will give it to the superior...The two uncles of the country are thrown into the desert, okay, take your leave, take your leave."

   As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, although he was respectful on the surface, but he didn't show any sympathy.

  The guards also dispersed.

   On this site with few people, the weather was so hot that Zhang Heling only felt that he was very hot and sweated profusely. Zhang Yanling's face twitched. After a long time, he obediently took out the steamed cake from his bag, squeezed a small half, and stretched it out in front of Zhang Heling: "Brother, how about... let's eat our own?"

Zhang Heling was indeed very hungry, so he swallowed it in one gulp. The steamed cake had almost no water, not to mention...it was a place like Yumen Pass, so he swallowed it hastily, Zhang Heling's face turned red, and he touched his neck with one hand, and stretched it out with the other. Said to Zhang Yanling: "Water, water..."

  ...

  The capital...

  A letter was sent to the Secretary of General Administration.

  The Secretary of General Administration did not dare to neglect, and rushed him into the palace.

   Immediately afterwards, Liu Jian, who was drafting the ticket, roughly glanced at the memorial, and then suddenly said: "This memorial...is it really sent by the express horse of Bosi, Quanzhou?"

   "This... how can this be fake, the wax on it..."

  Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and he ordered someone to call Li Dongyang.

  I really lost my composure just now.

  How could such memorials be fake?

   "Liu Gong..."

   "Binzhi, you came just in time. Quanzhou sent a letter saying that the armored fleet has docked for supplies. In a few days, the fleet will go north and arrive at Tianjin Wei. Our emperor... is back."

  Li Dongyang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "The emperor is back? But I don't know... how is the battle going?"

   "This..." Liu Jian seemed cautious, although he believed that there must be some good news in his heart, but now he dared not say: "I will go to see His Royal Highness immediately, without delay."

   Li Dongyang nodded solemnly.

  ...

  In the Imperial Academy.

  A member of the Hanlin University took a copy of the memorial from the imperial edict room and sent it to the Museum of Literature and History for sealing up.

   This is the rule of the imperial court. All memorials and imperial decrees must be sent to the Imperial Academy, and then classified.

  For this Hanlin, this is just the most common memorial.

  So... as usual, he first went to the Museum of Literature and History, and then took a pen to record and contact the Hanlin of the Museum of Literature and History.

  At this moment... Wang Bushi happened to be pacing here.

  When the Hanlin saw Wang Bushi, he was extremely enthusiastic and greeted immediately: "Your official has seen Wang Xueshi."

  Wang Bushi smiled at him. Now he is a hot celebrity in the Hanlin Academy, not only because he is a bachelor, but also because everyone thinks he is knowledgeable and rich, and they are willing to believe him.

  Thinking about how many people accused him at the beginning, and looking at today, it is really embarrassing!

  Wang Bushi saw that he was holding the memorial in his hand, so he just said casually: "Why, the cabinet has another memorial for filing?"

"Exactly... from Bosi, Quanzhou City." Hanlin replied: "Other memorials were sent to the archives two hours ago after drafting and redemption, but this one seems to be taken by Mr. Liu. In Fengtian Palace, I met His Highness the Crown Prince, so it was a bit late when I sent it to the Supervisor of Rituals."

   "Oh?" Wang Bushi raised his eyebrows, and then said lightly: "In this way, it may be an urgent report."

   "It's true." The Hanlin said with a smile: "Xueshi Wang is really a good example. It was indeed sent urgently, and it was sent directly to the express shop."

  Wang Bushi took off his big sunglasses, something seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes, and then...he said: "When Liu Gong and Li Gong came back from Fengtian Palace..."

   "It should have been there for an hour, and I returned to the cabinet after an hour..."

  Wang Bushi nodded, and then said calmly: "Oh, save it quickly."

   This Hanlin didn't think it was strange. It was quite normal for colleagues to gossip with each other.

  Wang Bushi put on the sunglasses again, and at this moment...no one could see anything from his eyes.

  This sealed memorial is not allowed to be opened and read. It is only necessary to record the date and name on the cover.

   Immediately, a civil servant sent it to the warehouse and put it on the shelf.

  Generally, no one will care about it unless it is revised in the future.

  On that day, Wang Bushi returned to his 100-acre mansion after he was off duty!

This hundred-acre mansion, but relying on Miyagi, is now priceless and has no market, but one family occupies a hundred acres of land. This is no longer as simple as having money. Too much.

After entering the courtyard, I heard Deng Jian's voice: "You dogs, stand up straight, stand up straight, you are raised on weekdays, but you dare to be lazy, when I was pouring tea and water for my young master He is hungry, but even if he doesn’t open his mouth, I have a tacit understanding with him and prepare meals for him. He is thirsty, and with just a wink, I will serve him tea. Look at you again, look Look at you bastards, I have to clean up this style today."

  Seeing a group of servants standing in a row, Deng Jian said silk and satin, raised his leg and aimed at one of them, and was about to kick.

  The slaves are trembling.

  Wang Bushi coughed and said to Deng Jian, "Deng Jian, come here."

  Deng Jian just stopped when he saw Wang Bushi, but his face was not angry: "I'll forgive you today, next time I see you so lazy, I have to send you out, a bunch of bastards... ah..."

After arriving in the living room, Wang Bushi sat down, only glanced at Deng Jian, and then said: "Immediately send a message to the big and small shopkeepers under the Wang family to transfer all the funds and prepare to invest heavily in the Four Seas Commercial Bank. Buy as many stocks as there are in the market.”

  Deng Jian was taken aback for a moment: "Sihai Commercial Bank? This... this..."

  Wang Bushi gave Deng Jian a meaningful look: "Your Majesty and your young master are coming back."

  Deng Jian's body trembled, and he said in surprise, "What?"

Thinking of his young master coming back, this guy who has been eating inside and outside of the Wang family, seemed to have been pierced through his heart by a sharp arrow, he trembled, tears filled his eyes and said: "Back... come back... I knew my young master would definitely Auspicious people have their own destiny, when will I come back, I... I will go to Tianjin Wei."

   "It's still early, this is just the old man's guess."

  Deng Jian was taken aback for a moment: "Dare to be affectionate, but not trustworthy?"

"It's close to ten." Wang Bushi said, "It's too strange that Quanzhou Bosi suddenly sent a bulletin. If it's just an ordinary memorial, it won't attract attention. But after hearing about Liu Gong and Li Gong, Immediately brought the memorial to the prince. What does this mean? It means that the memorial must be news from His Majesty and Lord Zhen Guo. But...Liu Gong and Li Gong went to see the prince, but it took more than an hour, this... It's even more interesting. According to the old man's guess, it seems...it's definitely not bad news. Think about it, if it's bad news, if His Majesty and Duke Zhen are at fault, it's...what a big event, such bad news , will surely shake the world, the crown prince, as a son of man, must also need Liu Gong and Li Gong to make up their minds, the monarch and his ministers need to discuss and finalize a lot of major aftermath matters, let alone one hour, it is ten hours, this Liu Gong and Li Gong Li Gong may not be able to come out of Fengtian Palace."

"Since His Majesty and Zhenguo returned safely, then... the old man still knows a little about the current emperor. He has always been impulsive. If he goes to sea this time, if he doesn't step through Loulan, he will definitely not come back! Now that they are back, What does this mean? It means... the emperor will return with a big victory this time, and this mere Francois has already become something that I am looking for."

   "Such a great victory means that from now on, I have no rivals in Daming Overseas, and what is the most advantageous thing?"

  Wang Bushi stared at Deng Jian, but did not wait for Deng Jian to reply, as if asking and answering himself, he said word by word: "The biggest benefit is the Universal Commercial Bank!"
