Infrastructure masters in the red building

Jia Fang didn't expect that the young prince of Narcissus had a very simple and elegant appearance, and his nickname was so fairy, once he opened his mouth, he would start talking about money, and he would talk so sophisticatedly.

"I think, you must think this room is very elegant!" Shui Xian looked at Jia Fang.Jia Fang nodded calmly, he really likes it here.

Shui Xian continued: "All the belongings in this house cost a total of 17 taels of silver. Some of the books on the shelves are rare ancient books, and the value is difficult to calculate. Besides, building such a house in this busy city boundary The land costs about 100 taels of silver, and the materials and labor for building the house are around 30 taels. If you rent the house directly, the annual rent is about 15 taels to 20 taels..."

"If you don't talk about money, don't talk about everything elegant." When Shui Xian said this, he lifted the teacup in his hand with a smile, gave it to Jia Fang, and then bowed his head and drank it.

Jia Fang was speechless.Of course he knew that the elegance of the ancient scholar-bureaucrats was entirely based on the fact that this class had money and leisure, and had ownership of the means of production.But he hadn't seen much of someone who was brought to the table so straightforwardly as Shui Xian.

The most important thing is...he is still short of money.

"If you agree to my conditions, no matter what utensil or tool you come up with, no matter what business you involve, I can find the best craftsman to be assigned by you to help you make it."

"You can use these things yourself, but other than that, you can't disclose any drawings and crafts to others, and verbal descriptions are naturally not allowed..."

"Besides your own use, my craftsmen can imitate or even improve all the utensils and tools you come up with. Of course, the improved items have nothing to do with you, but you don't need to be responsible..."

Jia Fang listened and thought, if this person in front of him was placed in modern times, he might be able to be an intellectual property lawyer.

He was distracted, and Shui Xian was already asking him: "How much money do you think I should pay to buy all these 'ideas' of yours?"

When Shuixian was talking, his eyes were fixed on the other person's without avoiding it, and he seemed to be able to see all the psychological activities of the other person in his eyes, and he could respond and make adjustments at any time.

Before Jia Fang could react, Shui Xian narrowed his eyes, and immediately added a sentence: "If you want, this agreement can have a time limit. Five years, ten years...or the rest of your life, it's all up to you."

Jia Fang was stunned, and asked back: "Aren't you afraid that I will quote a price at will, and then I will never think of any new ideas, and I will never toss about new things. I will wait for five or ten years, doing nothing, just waiting for it to come from you." To collect money?"

When he asked such a question, Shui Xian found it even more funny, shook his head and said, "You can't help it."

Jia Fang was speechless. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that he couldn't help it: he is a decent modern person, now in this time and space, even if he can't help the poor with technology, at least he has to make himself live more comfortably. .For this purpose, Jia Fang absolutely couldn't help but take the initiative to use the artisan resources of Baigongfang.

Besides, he always asks craftsmen to do this and that, without giving them anything in return, which is outrageous!

Jia Fang was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking again: "Aren't you curious, where do I come up with all these ideas and things?"

The corners of Shui Xian's lips rose again, and he turned his head to look at the bookshelf that Jia Fang "patronized" just now: "It's just that I found it in the notebooks of the predecessors. I believe you, so why do you have any doubts?"

Jia Fang was stunned for a moment: the shopkeeper actually asked him once last time, asking him where these new ideas came from when he was young.He just made an excuse by borrowing the notes and miscellaneous books left by his predecessors.Unexpectedly, this "Tianyisheng" actually quoted his own words now.

Just use and profit, don't care about the source - this "everything in heaven" is a shrewd and good calculation.

"It's the first time we met today, and I brought up this matter, I'm being rude." Shui Xian put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and saluted, "Third Young Master, you should think about it for a while. In this way, I will hold a banquet in Wanqing Building at noon tomorrow, please show your kindness .I am waiting for your reply."

As soon as the words were finished, Shui Xian saluted, took his leave and left.

When Jia Fang rushed back to Rongfu, he happened to meet his father's long follower, Lai Da, at the gate of the mansion, leading a horse and carrying a bundle, as if he was about to go out.Mrs. Shi's accompanying room, Mrs. Lai, was seeing him off.

Mrs. Lai probably knew what Mrs. Shi was thinking, and had always disliked Jia Fang very much. Now when she saw Jia Fang, she still put on airs and ignored Jia Fang.In the Rongning Second Mansion, the elderly servants who have a head and a face can indeed put on a bit of airs in front of the concubine in the mansion, and they can't be regarded as overbearing.

Lai Da has always been by Rong Guogong's side, knowing what his superiors are thinking.Now when he saw Jia Fang, he hurried up to salute, but Lai Shi grabbed him.

Jia Fang looked on coldly and thought it was funny: it's like there are two leaders in Jia's mansion, and the two leaders disagree, causing the subordinates to be at a loss for a while.

He ignored Lai's cold eyes and Lai Da's evasive eyes, and went to the mansion on his own.Someone behind him hurriedly called him: "Third Master, Third Master, please wait."

Jia Fang turned around and saw that it was the steward of the Beijing Palace who had been to his home.

The steward trotted all the way, rushed to Jia Fang, panted slightly, took out a bag of things from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Jia Fang, then wiped his sweat and said, "Master, you walked so fast. My little one You didn't even hear me calling from behind."

Jia Fang looked curiously at the small package in his hand, feeling that it was light - it must not be silver.

The steward of the palace glanced at Lai's mother and son in the distance, cleared his throat, and raised his voice and said, "Our prince specially ordered the younger one to give it to the third master."

When Jia Fang heard about it, he casually touched the purse in his arms to see if there was anything to reward, and said, "I'm so sorry, I have to work so hard..."

Unexpectedly, the steward of the palace quickly took two steps back, shook his hands, and said in a low voice: "My superiors don't allow villains to accept rewards from the third master."

The steward looked at Lai's mother and son who were stunned in the distance, and continued to raise his voice: "Our prince also said that if there are still those guys who look down on people in the third master's mansion, then it's no wonder he, we must follow up The Duke of the country said it."

King Beijing is a prince with a different surname, so he naturally overshadows Duke Rong's mansion.The steward's mention of the name of King of Beijing was frightening, and Lai's face turned pale with fright.Lai Da secretly said something next to his mother, bowed to Jia Fang in the distance, and quickly got on his horse and left.

Jia Fang went back to his own room, opened the package, and saw that it was a small porcelain jar.Opening the porcelain pot, an elegant and delicate fragrance came to the nostrils——Jia Fang smiled immediately: Liu'an tea scented with daffodils should be the beginning of his understanding of traditional Chinese tea culture.

In the evening, Duke Rong Jia Daishan called Jia Fang to the foreign study.

"Fang'er, you also know that the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall was originally reserved for you to live in, but the main house collapsed a few days ago, and there is no way to rebuild it for a while." Jia Daishan sighed , "Fang'er, I have wronged you."

Jia Fanglian said nothing.In his heart, he didn't want to move at all—if he moved, wouldn't his newly built wet and dry bathroom have to be rebuilt?

"The Huifang Garden in the Ning Mansion was originally an old royal residence, but it has been unoccupied for many years, and it is now in disrepair. Today, my father has asked for a decree from the Holy One, and a son of our mansion will live in Huifang Garden. In the middle, use the garden to raise the garden, and preside over the reconstruction meeting Fangyuan."

Jia Fang: ...Huh?

"I thought to my father, if you live in Huifang Garden, it will definitely be more spacious than the small courtyard now. But it has always been neglected, so it's really hard to say how comfortable it is... I don't know you Can you please?"

Jia Fang nodded again and again: "Of course!"

Jia Daishan looked at Jia Fang with a warm expression on his face: "It's not a trivial matter to preside over the Fangyuan of the Restoration Society. At your young age, can you bear this burden?"

Jia Fang continued to nod: "Father, don't worry, the child can learn while doing."

Jia Daishan: "That's good!"

Is this an agreement?

He finally had the opportunity to build the Grand View Garden.

Jia Xin let out a cheer in his heart, even though he was calm by nature, he couldn't help but smile at this moment.

Looking at this young son, Jia Daishan couldn't help but feel some little happiness after the prank.He purposely put on a sullen face and frowned, "As for how to cultivate this garden, since my father has given it to you, you have the full power to decide."

Jia felt relieved: he had been Party B for so long in modern society, and now he could finally make up his own mind and be the real "Party A's father".

"It's just... the money and manpower to renovate the garden, you may need to find a way yourself!"

Jia Fang: ... What?

Jia Daishan continued to say vaguely: "After all, the Holy Majesty said, to raise a garden with a garden, that is to say, to use the production of the garden while continuing to repair the garden. I don't expect the garden to be completed in ten and a half months. It doesn't matter if it lasts for three to five years. But mainly, the royal family and our mansion don't need to spend too much money and manpower on this matter."

——Emotions are inexhaustible, all pointing at him, Jia Fang?

This time Jia Fang held back and didn't make a sound.If he didn't hold back, he might be caught and beaten by his father for swearing at others as "rebellious".

"It's not the first month yet, so it's not suitable to start work. You might as well take this opportunity to prepare. You can start work in half a month." Jia Daishan tried his best to hold back a smile, "By the way, there is one more thing."

"The Holy Majesty also said that the original name 'Huifang Garden' is no longer suitable for Jia's children to live in this hometown." Jia Daishan reminded, "If you think which name is suitable, you can draw it up first, and wait for the father to ask for a will. It’s not too late to change the name.”

Jia Fang was frowning, as if he didn't hear Jia Daishan's words——Party B, who worked as a designer for so many years, has finally officially become Party A, but he is probably the poorest Party A in history.

"Son, building this garden can bring you great opportunities—but being a father can't help you, everything depends on you." Jia Daishan looked at Jia Fang with a sad face, and said silently in his heart .
