The person who knows Mrs. Wang best in this world is probably Wang Xifeng.After all, only Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are both daughters of the Wang family, and they have opposing positions, so they are almost destined to be enemies.
When Jia Min was busy directing the girls to help Li Wan back to the room, Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang almost unconsciously. At that time, Mrs. Wang's eyes made her shudder.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng understood that if Jia Zhu died at this time, Mrs. Wang would definitely blame everyone, whether it was Li Wan and the child in her womb, or her Wang Xifeng, and even Jia Min who was present today. Will not let go.
Who let their Jia family be accused just now, which hurt Jia Zhu's future.
Never mess with a she-wolf who has lost her cubs.
This is a famous saying that has been handed down in the interstellar since the barbaric era.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, turned around and went into Jia Zhu's room, and directly directed the girl to cool Jia Zhu with a handkerchief through the screen.
When Mrs. Wang saw it, she stepped forward and slapped her: "What are you messing around with?!"
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, I just heard that big brother came back from outside, and his expression was not right. I was afraid that he heard something outside, so he wanted to die. Now only by waking up big brother and untying his knot, can we get rid of it?" Save him. Aunt, would you like to let him wish for death like this, or give him a way to live. "
Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded.
With a plop from Zhou Rui's family, he knelt down in front of Wang Xifeng: "Second Grandma, you are somewhat sure."
"Wake him up, tell him the ins and outs, he still has a [-]% chance of survival." Wang Xifeng stared at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Auntie, what's your decision?"
Mrs. Wang screamed: "Quickly, according to the method your second grandma said, wrap Zhu'er's body."
Zhou Rui's family asked: "Would you like spirits, I heard that is faster."
"The spirits are too powerful. I'm afraid that big brother won't be able to support it. If the veil doesn't work, it's not too late to use spirits."
This is the first time Mrs. Wang has heard Wang Xifeng's words.
The maids in Jia Zhu's room were all in a hurry. Several maids climbed onto the bed, and according to Wang Xifeng's instructions, they took off all the clothes on Jia Zhu's body, and then covered Jia Zhu with a veil soaked in well water under the quilt. His joints, not to mention Jia Zhu's forehead, had already been covered with a veil.
After tossing for a full quarter of an hour, Jia Zhu's body temperature never dropped.Mrs. Wang had to ask someone to change the spirits.
After tossing and tossing for half an hour, Jia Zhu finally woke up, but unfortunately, she was so angry that even the imperial physician nearby was not optimistic.
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly waited on the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription in the wing room, and Wang Xifeng said to Jia Zhu in front of Mrs. Wang, "Brother, I heard that you came back from Li's house half a month ago, and your expression was not right. But What did Li Jijiu say?"
Jia Zhu turned pale and said nothing.
His little servant had been kneeling at the door of the bedroom for quite a while, and when he heard that, he immediately shouted: "Second Grandma! That Li Jijiu is not a human being! He, he severed the father-daughter relationship with our grandma, and he didn't recognize our uncle or even I don’t even want my daughter, Grandma.”
Mrs. Wang was furious: "You bastard bastard!"
When he was about to scold again, Wang Xifeng had already said: "I see. I think Li Jijiu said a lot, so my elder brother felt that life was gloomy and lifeless. That's why I came up with this idea. I don't know if my elder brother is interested in listening to me." Say something to this cousin."
Jia Zhu nodded weakly, and the girl next to him hurriedly conveyed the message.
Wang Xifeng said: "This is what my uncle told me when I got engaged. My eldest brother is good at studying and preparing to take the imperial examination. Perhaps no one has ever told my eldest brother. I will repeat it here for my eldest brother. Brother has already heard it, so just treat it as nonsense from my cousin, if elder brother has not heard it, please think about whether there is any truth in this statement."
Jia Zhu nodded again.
The girl conveyed it on her behalf again.
"My uncle once said that the family of generals is the most pitiful and deplorable. Flesh and flesh are separated, and half a life is fought on the battlefield, in exchange for the defense of the master of the earthquake, and even the shroud of horse leather has a good end. And the Jia family is different from other families. It’s different. In Ningrong’s Second Mansion, there were two generations of Dukes in total, and a total of four men served as the governors of the capital. It can be said that most of the security of the capital is in the hands of the Jia family. Such a Jia family, in any dynasty They are all to be guarded against by the royal family. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of today's Wansui, otherwise, it is possible for our whole family to be imprisoned for crimes. Therefore, my father-in-law can only hug the girl at home with an empty title. It is not because he is lustful. The second master can only eat wine at home with a spare job, not because the second master is incompetent, but because it is necessary. What's more, this is already Wan Sui's extra kindness to force the ministers to give our Jia family dignity."
Whether Jia Amnesty was lustful or not, and whether Jia Zheng was incompetent or not, Wang Xifeng didn't even bother to think about it, because it was pointless to think about such things.
"Second uncle told me personally that our Jia family has to be quiet for two generations before we have a chance of revival. But during this period, if our family knows kindness, the peaceful life of this wealthy and idle person is indispensable. The reason why I chose your family is not because the Jia family is rich, nor is it because the Jia family Wang family is an old relative, all prosperous, all prosperous, and all damaged, but because although the Jia family is not very rich, at least it can guarantee my life without any worries. Of course, I The second uncle chose Jia Lian not because of my father-in-law's title, but because of the elder brother, you are too motivated. The royal family hopes that our family will be quiet for two generations, and what you have done is contrary to the royal wishes."
When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she immediately turned pale.
Zhou Rui's family on the ground let out a small exclamation.
Wang Xifeng continued: "For such a big thing as the loss of an imperial gift, the royal family still holds it up high and put it down gently. Brother, the royal family still remembers our Jia family. But if it is this time, our two families, or the old lady , or you, if something happens, what will you think if you are called the Royal? Big brother, the old lady has a long life, aunt and aunt are getting old, Baoyu is a child, and sister-in-law is now. You are the only young and strong in this family , if you have an emergency, how do you ask this big family to live?!"
When Jia Zhu heard this, tears rolled down her face.
He whispered, "Ma'am, ma'am..."
Mrs. Wang had already gone behind the screen: "Zhu'er, you are trying to steal my mother's heart..."
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng quickly retreated to the outside room, and asked Zhou Rui's family to invite the imperial physician over again, and then called a second-class girl in Jia Zhu's room: "Go to the kitchen to see what soup and water are there. Don't just make rice porridge , That’s not easy to digest, let the kitchen make a bowl of cat’s ears with clear soup, it’s better than others. Or a bowl of clear soup noodles. Prepare them all, and see which big brother wants to eat later.”
In fact, Wang Xifeng really wanted to say that millet porridge was more nourishing, but she was familiar with Mrs. Wang's behavior, and she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would think she was torturing Jia Zhu if she ordered it, so she swallowed it.
After finishing the order, Wang Xifeng didn't stop, but came to Jiamu's yard again.
Jia's mother had been disturbed a long time ago, and now she was sitting on the bed, with Jia Baoyu in her arms, and two Yingchun and Tanchun sitting next to her, looking eagerly at the door.Seeing Wang Xifeng coming in, Jia's mother sat up all of a sudden, not caring about getting dizzy, she grabbed Wang Xifeng and said, "Miss Feng, what's wrong with your elder brother Zhu?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Brother has woken up now. I heard that he was angry outside, so he was in chaos just now, so he didn't ask in detail. Madam, can you call Big Brother's servant over to ask?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately ordered her eldest girl, Yuanyang.
Not long after, Yuanyang came over with Jia Zhu's servant, Song Yan, and said: "Going back to the old lady, when the slaves went, the wife was feeding cat ear soup to Master Zhu herself. The imperial doctor said, since Master Zhu can eat It’s okay if you put something down. It’s just that you have to take good care of yourself after suffering such a thing, otherwise, it will be harmful to your life expectancy.”
Jia Mu asked Songyan again what the reason was.
Song Yan spoke naturally, but the more Jia Mu listened, the more angry she became!
This Li Jijiu!It's too outrageous!Since they looked down on their family so much, why did they get married in the first place, and why did they marry their daughter Li Wan?His daughter is married, and he still says that, so it can be seen that he is a ruthless and ruthless person!
After hearing this, Mother Jia waved Song Yan away.
Sitting in her arms, Jia Baoyu whispered, "Old lady, this is not the sister-in-law's business."
Jia Mu patted Jia Baoyu absent-mindedly and said, "Don't worry Baoyu, the old lady knows."
As for how to do it, that's two words.
Of course, Mother Jia is not thinking about the Li family.It was the Jia family, or rather, Jia Zheng's side.Jia Zheng was dismissed from office, and the only person in this house who has been knighted is Jia Mu.She was alive, and others would not care about Jia Zheng's family because of her knighthood.But if she fell down, what would happen to her beloved youngest son's family? Mother Jia didn't even want to think about it!
Li Jijiu is still Jia Zhu's father-in-law!Even so!Not to mention other people? !
This incident seriously stimulated Jia Mu and inspired Jia Mu's desire to survive.
Jia Zhu, who also had a desire to survive, also got better little by little.It's just that Jia Zhu was delayed after all, and his foundation was hurt. If he doesn't cultivate for three to five years, don't think about it.In other words, the one in Li Wan's stomach may be Jia Zhu's only child.
This news is not a serious blow to Mrs. Wang.But what else could she do?
Leaving aside Mrs. Wang and Li Wan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, seeing Jia's mother recovering day by day, Jia Min naturally thought of taking the child to Lin Ruhai to the south for a reunion.
Everyone happened to be in front of Jia Mu that day. When Jia Min brought up this matter, Jia Mu didn't stop her.
In any case, Jia Min has been married to the Lin family for 20 years, and has even been the head of the house for more than ten years.If there was an elder above, it would be fine for her to stay in the capital. Now for her natal family and her own mother, she has been delayed for a long time, and it is time to go south.
Not only Jia Min thought so, but everyone present except Wang Xifeng thought so.
Because of the customs of the world.
However, Wang Xifeng spoke up:
"Aunt, can't you stay in Beijing?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Feng girl!"
Mrs. Xing said: "Girl Feng is young, and she is very close to my aunt. Now that my aunt is leaving, there are some people who are reluctant to part with her." After all, your aunt is the mistress of the Lin family, so it's not easy to take care of her mother's family all the time."
Wang Xifeng said: "Ma'am, the daughter-in-law is also doing this for the sake of my aunt. Although I am young, I was brought up as a man in my mother's family, so I have heard many things. Not to mention, the corruption in the salt administration, I know a lot! Those salt merchants, not to mention tax evasion, acted very recklessly. I heard that some officials with lesser background, when they took office, they would put A dagger!"
Mrs. Xing was taken aback: "Well, what is this not a threat?"
"That's not the case!" Wang Xifeng said, "From the perspective of these salt merchants, the current salt tax is so high. If they pay taxes normally, how can they afford to pay them? Up to now, tax evasion has become their only means of earning money. It’s a trick. Since my aunt has been a salt inspector, it is natural to collect taxes for the court. In the eyes of these salt merchants, what is it not to cut off their money?”
Cutting off people's wealth is like cutting off life.
If Lin Ruhai acted impartially, or if his wrist was slightly weaker, he might be hated by these salt merchants.
Mrs. Xing exclaimed: "But Mrs. Lin is an official of the imperial court!"
"It's not just one or two court officials who were killed by them!"
When Wang Xifeng said this, his eyes never left Jia Min.
Although Jia Min is the daughter of the Jia family, she is one of the rare people in the Jia family who has a brain. After hearing this, why doesn't she understand?
Those salt merchants acted so rampantly, not because they took refuge in the Zhen family.Although the Zhen family was favored and trusted by the emperor, they had already stood on the opposite side of the emperor because they took money from the salt merchants and served as the protection of the salt merchants|umbrella.
That's right, both the Zhen family and Lin Ruhai are courtiers of the emperor, and because of their different positions, they have become political enemies!
Seeing that Jia Min was thinking every day, Wang Xifeng continued: "As far as I know, these salt merchants have never had any scruples in their actions. Thinking that my uncle and aunt got married for 20 years, and they got a cousin and a cousin. She is still young and tender. Auntie, we adults have suffered from some insidious tricks, but the illness will pass after a while. But if it falls on my cousins..."
Before Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Mother Jia jumped up first: "Min'er, what Feng Geer said is very true! You should think twice!"
Jia Min has been married to Lin Ruhai for so many years, and it's hard to hope for two children. Among them, this three-year-old brother is the only male of the Lin family's generation!Could Jia Min risk this child?
Of course not!
If no one tells her the truth, then forget it.But Wang Xifeng has said so much, and she is still determined to go her own way. If something happens, she will not be enough to apologize with death!
Afterwards, Jia Min specially invited Wang Xifeng to Lin's house, and then said to Wang Xifeng: "Feng girl, I don't know whether I should thank you or not."
You mentioned something that I overlooked, but it also caused our husband and wife to suffer from the separation of the two places.
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, otherwise, how can you say that women are difficult? If women are treated fairly outside, it doesn't matter if Auntie just goes south to reunite with auntie. But we are not alone."
Jia Min feigned anger and said, "Are you mocking me?"
"How dare my niece and daughter-in-law?!"
"Yeah, you're all for me too. Your aunt wrote a letter, just as you said, don't stop in the south, let me stay in Beijing with your cousins."
"That's a good relationship. My niece and daughter-in-law can ask my aunt for advice when they encounter problems in the future."
"You can say something like that, so how much can I teach you? Let's encourage each other." Jia Min sighed, "It's just that the old lady recently..."
"But the old lady asked my aunt to take my cousin there?"
"You know it all?"
"Why don't you know? It's just for the sake of the children and grandchildren, thinking of getting closer. But the old lady is only thinking about her grandson, but that one may not be thinking of her aunt, and she may even dislike her cousin for being delicate."
"That's not the case."
When Jia Min heard about it, she could only sigh.
How could she not know what Mother Jia was thinking?But where is Jia Zheng's family a good family?Youdao is three years old and seven years old, and Jia Baoyu is six years old this year, but he is playing around in the inner curtain, that's all.It's just that Jia Min despises Jia Baoyu's behavior of pestering the girl to eat the rouge from other people's mouths.
Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang didn't think so, but thought it was fun. When Jia Baoyu was young and naive, they would still make fun of him.But in Jia Min's eyes, he was clearly a pervert. I don't know if Jia Baoyu's nature is like this or he saw his father and brother's behavior and learned badly.However, Mrs. Jia was so playful that Mrs. Wang didn't care about teaching her, and she just kept teasing her. What's the difference between that kind of behavior and encouraging the child to continue doing this?What is a child who grows up like this if he is not a child?
Not to mention the fact that Jia Yuanchun's fate is precious and Jia Baoyu was born with a jade title, these two things are enough to make Jia Min shy away.
Jia's mother is Jia Min's biological mother. If Jia's mother has something to do, Jia Min will go to visit her, no problem.But if she wants to bring her daughter, don't even think about it!
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Auntie, if you want to dispel the old lady's thoughts, it's easy."
"Oh? How easy."
"Just say it's promised to Brother Cong."
When Jia Min heard this, she couldn't help but pat her twice, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
There is no good family for her daughter, so she must marry back to her mother's family!
Wang Xifeng said: "Aunt, don't be annoyed, let me finish talking first."
Jia Min said: "Talk about it. If it doesn't work out, I can't spare you!"
"Okay, if it doesn't work out, I'll punish my niece and daughter-in-law!" Wang Xifeng said, "Speaking of which, my niece and daughter-in-law have been thinking about it for two months. Seeing that our family has lost face this time, it's also a crooked one. Breaking away from the seriousness of the past. What's more, my father-in-law has been silent for almost 20 years before, and the mansion has been controlled by there for more than ten years. We have long since had nothing to do with the accounts and entertainment. Now we have all the deficits. It's up. I reckon that in two years, when your nephew turns 20, you can consider filling in the vacancy. Do you think our family has come to the end of all hardships?"
When Jia Min heard about it, she turned the fan in her hand and said nothing.
What Wang Xifeng said, how could she not know?
She had already compared the future of the two brothers when Jia Amnesty seized the title and Jia Zheng was dismissed from office and the two brothers were ordered to separate the family.Jia Amnesty is indeed much better than Jia Zheng.More importantly, Jia Lian insisted on repaying the deficit despite the opposition of his elders, and practiced it himself. Such behavior has already given the court a word of loyalty.It may not be possible for the current emperor, but when the new emperor takes over, Jia Lian's chance will come!
Jia Lian is fine, isn't Jia Cong not good?He is ten years younger than Jia Lian. If he studies hard and has his elder brother to take care of him, his future will not be too bad!
Thinking of this, Jia Min couldn't help asking: "What is Lian'er doing at home now?"
"My father-in-law gave him my mother-in-law's dowry Zhuangzi, and now he is practicing with that Zhuangzi."
The mother-in-law here refers to Jia Lian's biological mother, and Jia She was originally married to Zhang.
These days, because Jia's mother is not well, Jia Shexing's wife, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and Jia Cong go to Jia Zheng's house every day to inquire, but it doesn't mean they don't have other things to do, on the contrary, they have a lot of things to do.
Take Wang Xifeng's dowry Zhuangzi as an example. Because of the careful arrangements before, her dowry Zhuangzi began to raise poultry, livestock and earthworms after repairing the greenhouse.Bai Zhuangtou is in charge of the specific affairs, and Jia Lian just needs to go on regular patrols.Also, the dividends of off-season vegetables should be taken care of clearly—thanks to the off-season vegetables from late January to early February, this is also the fourth payment of off-season vegetables this season. Otherwise, Wang Xifeng would not be able to spend so much money.
With this final payment, there is the silver for dividends, and the money for further construction on Zhuangzi.Even if the village is engaged in breeding, there is money to buy chickens, ducks, gooses, piglets, and lambs. As for rabbits, there is no need to buy them at all, just let the farmers go up the mountain to catch them.
In short, the core idea of Zhuangzi's construction is that Zhuangzi belongs to Wang Xifeng, and all the products on Zhuangzi belong to Wang Xifeng.
As for whether the tenants in the Zhuangzi and the nearby villagers objected, firstly, Wang Xifeng paid high wages, and secondly, Wang Xifeng had tried his best to arrange the people in the Zhuangzi, even the children were arranged to work in addition to going to the Meng School, so that They have a chance to earn a few dim sum dollars.
Rewards and punishments are too great, the rewards are much, and the punishments are heavy.The dealers knew how powerful they were, but there were minor twists and turns, but they didn't dare to confront Wang Xifeng head-on.
Bai Zhuangtou acted thoughtfully, Jia Lian made regular inspections, and Wang Xifeng's account books here were also considered fine, which made things go smoothly for Zhuangzi, but Jia Lian's side was not so smooth.The fundamental reason is that after more than ten years, there is no one to supervise, and things in Zhuangzi are in chaos!
There is no way, no one supervises, no matter how loyal a slave is, he will guard himself and steal.Not to mention, the Ningrong Second Mansion was originally a big dye vat, good people would either die or become bad when they came in, and the bad people would only become crazier after a long time.
Although Zhang's family is well-bred, but the Zhang family has been gone for more than ten years and almost 20 years, and there are more or less problems in this village.Jia Lian is young, so it takes a lot of effort to take care of Zhuangzi.
Jia Min is also very clear about these things. After all, her companion is also from the Jia family. How much effort Lin Ruhai and Lin Mu spent in order to let him understand the disadvantages, and how much effort she spent in punishing these slaves , she is very clear.
Jia Min said: "The housekeeper and director are nothing more than rewards and punishments. But the bad habits passed down in the mansion, I'm afraid these people have been used to it for a long time. If there is no generous reward, how would they be willing to do things?! It's just this generous reward... ...Feng girl, you didn't give Lian'er the recipe for winter fruits and vegetables, did you?"
Wang Xifeng nodded: "Auntie is right!"
Jia Min said: "You! This is your prescription! It will be left to your children in the future!"
Fangzi is worth more than silver.Since ancient times, it is rare for a daughter to be accompanied by Fang Zi when she gets married.Especially the recipes with off-season vegetables are worth more than the dowries of Jia Min, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng!
"Auntie, what did you say, why didn't I know? But Auntie also knows that the most taboo thing in this world is to eat alone. If it is said that when they heard about these winter fruits and vegetables outside last winter, many people tilted their heads and couldn't believe it. So this winter, I don’t know how many people are staring at the niece and daughter-in-law’s dowry Zhuangzi. In the next winter, I don’t know how many winter fruits and vegetables will come out of this capital! If there are too many of these things, they will naturally be worthless ! Anyway, it can only be done for a year or two. Why bother to hold it tightly in your hands and cause trouble for yourself?! If it can help Lian's second brother take control of that Zhuangzi, it will be a fight between us and my wife."
"Lian'er is lucky to have married you, otherwise..."
Jia Min shook his head and sighed.
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want this prescription, Auntie?"
"you do not mind?"
"What do you mind? If Zhuangzi from my aunt's family learns it and helps me share some of it, maybe it will save me from disaster!"
Who is the most needy person in this world? It's the emperor.And it is the House of Internal Affairs that helps the emperor take care of the property.Wang Xifeng was the first to say that this yamen didn't pay attention to the prescription in her hand.
There is no patent protection law in this era!
Last year, the couple already earned 20 million silver from this, and it looks like they can earn even more this year!If she ate alone, I don't know what tricks they will come up with!
In fact, there are many strange things in this world, such as the deficit, debt repayment is justified, but Jia Lian Wang Xifeng has become a thorn in the eyes of some people because he repaid all the deficits of the court.For this reason, Wang Xifeng had to borrow money from the treasury again with Jia Lian's post.
Wang Xifeng's borrowing of silver is different from other people's borrowing of silver from the treasury.When she borrowed money from the national treasury, she clearly stated in the document that "the monthly interest is one cent, simple interest calculation, monthly interest payment, and repayment at the end of the year".The translation is: the annual interest rate is 12.00%, which is converted into a monthly interest rate of 1%. If you borrow 100 taels, you need to repay [-] taels of interest every month, and the principal will be repaid at the end of the year.
In later generations, this kind of writing can be said to be full of loopholes, but it is the first in this era!The household officials in charge shook their heads, saying that it was the court's grace to allow hundreds of officials to borrow money, so how could they collect interest.Wang Xifeng didn't know how much she spent talking about it, and repeatedly emphasized that this was to prevent the court from calling for payment, so she left this statement. Later, Prince Ming heard about it inside, and came out to ask the reason, so he borrowed it.
Wang Xifeng borrowed a total of 5 taels of silver, and prepared to go to Lijia Village to buy [-] mu of land when the rice was harvested.
She found out clearly that, just like the previous dungeon, peat and lignite were also buried in the ground, and they were also buried at a height of one foot and five feet.
Fortunately, after getting the family home, Jia Amnesty even handed over the account to Jia Lian directly after getting a new account, otherwise, she would not be able to buy the land here.
It's just that there's no need to tell Jia Min about these things.
On the other hand, Jia Min also knew that what Wang Xifeng said was not a lie. If the Lin family also produced off-season vegetables, it would really help Wang Xifeng share the risk.Immediately thanked him solemnly, and then, under Wang Xifeng's recommendation, let his Zhuangtou and Baizhuangtou meet.
The Lin family is also preparing to produce off-season vegetables.
This matter was not hidden from Jia She.On the contrary, when Wang Xifeng returned from Lin's house that day, he reported to Jia She.
After Jia Amnesty heard this, he only said that he knew it, and then turned around and started to study the homework of his youngest son, Jia Cong.
Anyway, he was also the companion of the old Prince Yizhong back then, and he also received the teachings of the country's top scholars and great Confucians in the upper study room. Jia She is fully capable of enlightening Jia Cong.
As for the future, Jia Amnesty has already decided to see if the youngest son is talented and hardworking enough.If he is hardworking and talented, Jia Amnesty will consider throwing this son to Lin Ruhai and become Lin Ruhai's student.
Regardless of the big and small things, this year has passed like this.
Although farming has not yet taken off, and is even short of reaching a balance of income and expenditure, the price of off-season vegetables this winter is not as high as last year, but Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng still earn a lot of money from it.At the beginning of February of the following year, the couple combined, and the two villages together earned a full winter of 52 taels!Even after excluding the dividends to the stewards and tenants, plus other expenses, the couple received 45 taels of silver in the end.
Seeing so much money sent into the treasury with his own eyes, when he returned to Mude Hall, Jia Lian's footsteps were all floating. Even when he sat in the main hall of Mude Hall, he didn't react, and just sat there in a daze.
Wang Xifeng was also narrow-minded, so she asked someone to bring a fine white porcelain vase from the official kiln, and went to the independent small garden behind Mude Hall to break a willow branch spouting new green, and put it in the vase. , and put it in front of Jia Lian.
Only then did Jia Lian come to his senses.
He looked at the clean bottle in front of him, then at Wang Xifeng who was laughing,
He looked at the clean bottle in front of him, and at Wang Xifeng who was trembling with laughter,
Immediately jumped up: "Well done you Feng'er! You actually made fun of me!"
The young couple ran away one by one and chased after the other. Wang Xifeng's laughter echoed in the Mude Hall.
Jia Lian finally caught up with his wife, held her down, and feigned anger: "Say it! Do you dare?"
Wang Xifeng leaned against the pillar and said with a smile: "I dare not. Good brother, please forgive me this time?"
Jia Lian blushed, and couldn't help pinching Wang Xifeng: "You little goblin."
But he couldn't say anything else.
Wang Xifeng said: "Oh, it hurts."
Jia Lian immediately became nervous: "Really, really? I, I didn't try too hard..."
Wang Xifeng laughed again.
Only then did Jia Lian realize that she had been tricked again, so she had to say, "Feng'er, you've got me determined."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Is it because I'm sure of you, or is it that you love me and let me let me have you?"
Jia Lian glared at her: "Know it and say it!"
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I'm telling you something serious. It's spring again, do you have any plans?"
Jia Lian said: "plan? What else can I do? Isn't it like this for the rest of my life?"
The Jia family's behavior has attracted taboos, and he is afraid that he will only be like this for the rest of his life.
Up to now, he has also accepted his fate.
But Wang Xifeng said: "I have a different idea about this, second brother Lian, do you want to hear it?"
Jia Lian glared at her.
He couldn't stand Wang Xifeng calling him Lian's second elder brother.
no way,
young,
Can't stand teasing.
"Say."
Jia Lian pretended to be serious.
Wang Xifeng said softly: "Actually, I have been thinking about this matter for a year. You see, the court has been urging to pay the deficit for two years, but very few people have returned the deficit. Not only that, every time the treasury receives money, the average family is I dare not continue to borrow, but some people..."
Jia Lian immediately thought of the Zhen family,
There are also Beijing Palace, Nan'an Palace, etc., all of which are amazing people.
"In this way, the court must be short of money. You mean, Wanzai might make an exception and appoint me?"
Wang Xifeng nodded, and said: "Our family earned more than half a million taels of silver in one winter. This matter can't be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the court. Even if we can't hear or see it now, I'm afraid it's from the outside world. There are already rumors that our husband and wife will be able to run the business. Tell me, Second Brother Lian, will Wansui appoint you?"
Jia Lian's eyes immediately lit up.
He always dreamed of being able to fill in the gaps. If he could make it to the top from now on, it would be exactly what he had dreamed of in his life.
Without Jia Lian answering, Wang Xifeng knew what he was thinking.
She pinched Jia Lian and said, "My good brother, listen to me."
"You say, you say."
Wang Xifeng said: "Fruits and vegetables can be sold at a reasonable price in this winter. If you want to talk about the secret, it is nothing more than the rarest thing. We have sold it for two consecutive winters. In the first winter, most people may not believe it. , After this winter, everyone will see it, and I am afraid that nine out of ten will believe it. Tell me, what will they do after they believe it?"
When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately understood: "If Wansui just appoints me to be an official in the inner mansion, and take care of this, the fruits and vegetables will be flooded in winter, and I can't sell them at a price. I'm afraid I can't afford it."
Wang Xifeng nodded heavily and said, "Exactly."
That's what worries her too.
When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help hesitating: "Well, Feng'er, since we separated, whether I can fill in the vacancy is probably also a heart disease in my father's heart."
Wang Xifeng said: "Then you have to think about it carefully. Second Brother Lian, Long Live uses you to help govern the country. Apart from fruits and vegetables in this winter, what else can you do for the court?"
Jia Lian was stunned.
Yeah, besides this, what else can I do for the court?
The author has something to say: From the analysis of this article, it can be seen that the stupid author has a very high evaluation of Lin Ruhai.
If Lin Ruhai hadn't been loyal to the imperial court, he would not have been able to be re-elected.Because the emperor was short of money, he appointed Lin Ruhai as the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou and served for another four or five years. Obviously, it was because Lin Ruhai was loyal and helped him control the money bag of the salt administration very well.Otherwise, the emperor would have confiscated the Lin family's home long ago, and it would have been impossible for Lin Ruhai to have died in office.
Of course, Lin Ruhai's skills and character must be excellent, otherwise, he would have been killed by those salt merchants and the Zhen family.The emperor would never bless an incompetent official.

When Jia Min was busy directing the girls to help Li Wan back to the room, Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang almost unconsciously. At that time, Mrs. Wang's eyes made her shudder.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng understood that if Jia Zhu died at this time, Mrs. Wang would definitely blame everyone, whether it was Li Wan and the child in her womb, or her Wang Xifeng, and even Jia Min who was present today. Will not let go.
Who let their Jia family be accused just now, which hurt Jia Zhu's future.
Never mess with a she-wolf who has lost her cubs.
This is a famous saying that has been handed down in the interstellar since the barbaric era.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, turned around and went into Jia Zhu's room, and directly directed the girl to cool Jia Zhu with a handkerchief through the screen.
When Mrs. Wang saw it, she stepped forward and slapped her: "What are you messing around with?!"
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, I just heard that big brother came back from outside, and his expression was not right. I was afraid that he heard something outside, so he wanted to die. Now only by waking up big brother and untying his knot, can we get rid of it?" Save him. Aunt, would you like to let him wish for death like this, or give him a way to live. "
Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded.
With a plop from Zhou Rui's family, he knelt down in front of Wang Xifeng: "Second Grandma, you are somewhat sure."
"Wake him up, tell him the ins and outs, he still has a [-]% chance of survival." Wang Xifeng stared at Mrs. Wang, and said, "Auntie, what's your decision?"
Mrs. Wang screamed: "Quickly, according to the method your second grandma said, wrap Zhu'er's body."
Zhou Rui's family asked: "Would you like spirits, I heard that is faster."
"The spirits are too powerful. I'm afraid that big brother won't be able to support it. If the veil doesn't work, it's not too late to use spirits."
This is the first time Mrs. Wang has heard Wang Xifeng's words.
The maids in Jia Zhu's room were all in a hurry. Several maids climbed onto the bed, and according to Wang Xifeng's instructions, they took off all the clothes on Jia Zhu's body, and then covered Jia Zhu with a veil soaked in well water under the quilt. His joints, not to mention Jia Zhu's forehead, had already been covered with a veil.
After tossing for a full quarter of an hour, Jia Zhu's body temperature never dropped.Mrs. Wang had to ask someone to change the spirits.
After tossing and tossing for half an hour, Jia Zhu finally woke up, but unfortunately, she was so angry that even the imperial physician nearby was not optimistic.
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly waited on the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription in the wing room, and Wang Xifeng said to Jia Zhu in front of Mrs. Wang, "Brother, I heard that you came back from Li's house half a month ago, and your expression was not right. But What did Li Jijiu say?"
Jia Zhu turned pale and said nothing.
His little servant had been kneeling at the door of the bedroom for quite a while, and when he heard that, he immediately shouted: "Second Grandma! That Li Jijiu is not a human being! He, he severed the father-daughter relationship with our grandma, and he didn't recognize our uncle or even I don’t even want my daughter, Grandma.”
Mrs. Wang was furious: "You bastard bastard!"
When he was about to scold again, Wang Xifeng had already said: "I see. I think Li Jijiu said a lot, so my elder brother felt that life was gloomy and lifeless. That's why I came up with this idea. I don't know if my elder brother is interested in listening to me." Say something to this cousin."
Jia Zhu nodded weakly, and the girl next to him hurriedly conveyed the message.
Wang Xifeng said: "This is what my uncle told me when I got engaged. My eldest brother is good at studying and preparing to take the imperial examination. Perhaps no one has ever told my eldest brother. I will repeat it here for my eldest brother. Brother has already heard it, so just treat it as nonsense from my cousin, if elder brother has not heard it, please think about whether there is any truth in this statement."
Jia Zhu nodded again.
The girl conveyed it on her behalf again.
"My uncle once said that the family of generals is the most pitiful and deplorable. Flesh and flesh are separated, and half a life is fought on the battlefield, in exchange for the defense of the master of the earthquake, and even the shroud of horse leather has a good end. And the Jia family is different from other families. It’s different. In Ningrong’s Second Mansion, there were two generations of Dukes in total, and a total of four men served as the governors of the capital. It can be said that most of the security of the capital is in the hands of the Jia family. Such a Jia family, in any dynasty They are all to be guarded against by the royal family. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of today's Wansui, otherwise, it is possible for our whole family to be imprisoned for crimes. Therefore, my father-in-law can only hug the girl at home with an empty title. It is not because he is lustful. The second master can only eat wine at home with a spare job, not because the second master is incompetent, but because it is necessary. What's more, this is already Wan Sui's extra kindness to force the ministers to give our Jia family dignity."
Whether Jia Amnesty was lustful or not, and whether Jia Zheng was incompetent or not, Wang Xifeng didn't even bother to think about it, because it was pointless to think about such things.
"Second uncle told me personally that our Jia family has to be quiet for two generations before we have a chance of revival. But during this period, if our family knows kindness, the peaceful life of this wealthy and idle person is indispensable. The reason why I chose your family is not because the Jia family is rich, nor is it because the Jia family Wang family is an old relative, all prosperous, all prosperous, and all damaged, but because although the Jia family is not very rich, at least it can guarantee my life without any worries. Of course, I The second uncle chose Jia Lian not because of my father-in-law's title, but because of the elder brother, you are too motivated. The royal family hopes that our family will be quiet for two generations, and what you have done is contrary to the royal wishes."
When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she immediately turned pale.
Zhou Rui's family on the ground let out a small exclamation.
Wang Xifeng continued: "For such a big thing as the loss of an imperial gift, the royal family still holds it up high and put it down gently. Brother, the royal family still remembers our Jia family. But if it is this time, our two families, or the old lady , or you, if something happens, what will you think if you are called the Royal? Big brother, the old lady has a long life, aunt and aunt are getting old, Baoyu is a child, and sister-in-law is now. You are the only young and strong in this family , if you have an emergency, how do you ask this big family to live?!"
When Jia Zhu heard this, tears rolled down her face.
He whispered, "Ma'am, ma'am..."
Mrs. Wang had already gone behind the screen: "Zhu'er, you are trying to steal my mother's heart..."
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng quickly retreated to the outside room, and asked Zhou Rui's family to invite the imperial physician over again, and then called a second-class girl in Jia Zhu's room: "Go to the kitchen to see what soup and water are there. Don't just make rice porridge , That’s not easy to digest, let the kitchen make a bowl of cat’s ears with clear soup, it’s better than others. Or a bowl of clear soup noodles. Prepare them all, and see which big brother wants to eat later.”
In fact, Wang Xifeng really wanted to say that millet porridge was more nourishing, but she was familiar with Mrs. Wang's behavior, and she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would think she was torturing Jia Zhu if she ordered it, so she swallowed it.
After finishing the order, Wang Xifeng didn't stop, but came to Jiamu's yard again.
Jia's mother had been disturbed a long time ago, and now she was sitting on the bed, with Jia Baoyu in her arms, and two Yingchun and Tanchun sitting next to her, looking eagerly at the door.Seeing Wang Xifeng coming in, Jia's mother sat up all of a sudden, not caring about getting dizzy, she grabbed Wang Xifeng and said, "Miss Feng, what's wrong with your elder brother Zhu?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Brother has woken up now. I heard that he was angry outside, so he was in chaos just now, so he didn't ask in detail. Madam, can you call Big Brother's servant over to ask?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately ordered her eldest girl, Yuanyang.
Not long after, Yuanyang came over with Jia Zhu's servant, Song Yan, and said: "Going back to the old lady, when the slaves went, the wife was feeding cat ear soup to Master Zhu herself. The imperial doctor said, since Master Zhu can eat It’s okay if you put something down. It’s just that you have to take good care of yourself after suffering such a thing, otherwise, it will be harmful to your life expectancy.”
Jia Mu asked Songyan again what the reason was.
Song Yan spoke naturally, but the more Jia Mu listened, the more angry she became!
This Li Jijiu!It's too outrageous!Since they looked down on their family so much, why did they get married in the first place, and why did they marry their daughter Li Wan?His daughter is married, and he still says that, so it can be seen that he is a ruthless and ruthless person!
After hearing this, Mother Jia waved Song Yan away.
Sitting in her arms, Jia Baoyu whispered, "Old lady, this is not the sister-in-law's business."
Jia Mu patted Jia Baoyu absent-mindedly and said, "Don't worry Baoyu, the old lady knows."
As for how to do it, that's two words.
Of course, Mother Jia is not thinking about the Li family.It was the Jia family, or rather, Jia Zheng's side.Jia Zheng was dismissed from office, and the only person in this house who has been knighted is Jia Mu.She was alive, and others would not care about Jia Zheng's family because of her knighthood.But if she fell down, what would happen to her beloved youngest son's family? Mother Jia didn't even want to think about it!
Li Jijiu is still Jia Zhu's father-in-law!Even so!Not to mention other people? !
This incident seriously stimulated Jia Mu and inspired Jia Mu's desire to survive.
Jia Zhu, who also had a desire to survive, also got better little by little.It's just that Jia Zhu was delayed after all, and his foundation was hurt. If he doesn't cultivate for three to five years, don't think about it.In other words, the one in Li Wan's stomach may be Jia Zhu's only child.
This news is not a serious blow to Mrs. Wang.But what else could she do?
Leaving aside Mrs. Wang and Li Wan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, seeing Jia's mother recovering day by day, Jia Min naturally thought of taking the child to Lin Ruhai to the south for a reunion.
Everyone happened to be in front of Jia Mu that day. When Jia Min brought up this matter, Jia Mu didn't stop her.
In any case, Jia Min has been married to the Lin family for 20 years, and has even been the head of the house for more than ten years.If there was an elder above, it would be fine for her to stay in the capital. Now for her natal family and her own mother, she has been delayed for a long time, and it is time to go south.
Not only Jia Min thought so, but everyone present except Wang Xifeng thought so.
Because of the customs of the world.
However, Wang Xifeng spoke up:
"Aunt, can't you stay in Beijing?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Feng girl!"
Mrs. Xing said: "Girl Feng is young, and she is very close to my aunt. Now that my aunt is leaving, there are some people who are reluctant to part with her." After all, your aunt is the mistress of the Lin family, so it's not easy to take care of her mother's family all the time."
Wang Xifeng said: "Ma'am, the daughter-in-law is also doing this for the sake of my aunt. Although I am young, I was brought up as a man in my mother's family, so I have heard many things. Not to mention, the corruption in the salt administration, I know a lot! Those salt merchants, not to mention tax evasion, acted very recklessly. I heard that some officials with lesser background, when they took office, they would put A dagger!"
Mrs. Xing was taken aback: "Well, what is this not a threat?"
"That's not the case!" Wang Xifeng said, "From the perspective of these salt merchants, the current salt tax is so high. If they pay taxes normally, how can they afford to pay them? Up to now, tax evasion has become their only means of earning money. It’s a trick. Since my aunt has been a salt inspector, it is natural to collect taxes for the court. In the eyes of these salt merchants, what is it not to cut off their money?”
Cutting off people's wealth is like cutting off life.
If Lin Ruhai acted impartially, or if his wrist was slightly weaker, he might be hated by these salt merchants.
Mrs. Xing exclaimed: "But Mrs. Lin is an official of the imperial court!"
"It's not just one or two court officials who were killed by them!"
When Wang Xifeng said this, his eyes never left Jia Min.
Although Jia Min is the daughter of the Jia family, she is one of the rare people in the Jia family who has a brain. After hearing this, why doesn't she understand?
Those salt merchants acted so rampantly, not because they took refuge in the Zhen family.Although the Zhen family was favored and trusted by the emperor, they had already stood on the opposite side of the emperor because they took money from the salt merchants and served as the protection of the salt merchants|umbrella.
That's right, both the Zhen family and Lin Ruhai are courtiers of the emperor, and because of their different positions, they have become political enemies!
Seeing that Jia Min was thinking every day, Wang Xifeng continued: "As far as I know, these salt merchants have never had any scruples in their actions. Thinking that my uncle and aunt got married for 20 years, and they got a cousin and a cousin. She is still young and tender. Auntie, we adults have suffered from some insidious tricks, but the illness will pass after a while. But if it falls on my cousins..."
Before Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Mother Jia jumped up first: "Min'er, what Feng Geer said is very true! You should think twice!"
Jia Min has been married to Lin Ruhai for so many years, and it's hard to hope for two children. Among them, this three-year-old brother is the only male of the Lin family's generation!Could Jia Min risk this child?
Of course not!
If no one tells her the truth, then forget it.But Wang Xifeng has said so much, and she is still determined to go her own way. If something happens, she will not be enough to apologize with death!
Afterwards, Jia Min specially invited Wang Xifeng to Lin's house, and then said to Wang Xifeng: "Feng girl, I don't know whether I should thank you or not."
You mentioned something that I overlooked, but it also caused our husband and wife to suffer from the separation of the two places.
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, otherwise, how can you say that women are difficult? If women are treated fairly outside, it doesn't matter if Auntie just goes south to reunite with auntie. But we are not alone."
Jia Min feigned anger and said, "Are you mocking me?"
"How dare my niece and daughter-in-law?!"
"Yeah, you're all for me too. Your aunt wrote a letter, just as you said, don't stop in the south, let me stay in Beijing with your cousins."
"That's a good relationship. My niece and daughter-in-law can ask my aunt for advice when they encounter problems in the future."
"You can say something like that, so how much can I teach you? Let's encourage each other." Jia Min sighed, "It's just that the old lady recently..."
"But the old lady asked my aunt to take my cousin there?"
"You know it all?"
"Why don't you know? It's just for the sake of the children and grandchildren, thinking of getting closer. But the old lady is only thinking about her grandson, but that one may not be thinking of her aunt, and she may even dislike her cousin for being delicate."
"That's not the case."
When Jia Min heard about it, she could only sigh.
How could she not know what Mother Jia was thinking?But where is Jia Zheng's family a good family?Youdao is three years old and seven years old, and Jia Baoyu is six years old this year, but he is playing around in the inner curtain, that's all.It's just that Jia Min despises Jia Baoyu's behavior of pestering the girl to eat the rouge from other people's mouths.
Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang didn't think so, but thought it was fun. When Jia Baoyu was young and naive, they would still make fun of him.But in Jia Min's eyes, he was clearly a pervert. I don't know if Jia Baoyu's nature is like this or he saw his father and brother's behavior and learned badly.However, Mrs. Jia was so playful that Mrs. Wang didn't care about teaching her, and she just kept teasing her. What's the difference between that kind of behavior and encouraging the child to continue doing this?What is a child who grows up like this if he is not a child?
Not to mention the fact that Jia Yuanchun's fate is precious and Jia Baoyu was born with a jade title, these two things are enough to make Jia Min shy away.
Jia's mother is Jia Min's biological mother. If Jia's mother has something to do, Jia Min will go to visit her, no problem.But if she wants to bring her daughter, don't even think about it!
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Auntie, if you want to dispel the old lady's thoughts, it's easy."
"Oh? How easy."
"Just say it's promised to Brother Cong."
When Jia Min heard this, she couldn't help but pat her twice, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
There is no good family for her daughter, so she must marry back to her mother's family!
Wang Xifeng said: "Aunt, don't be annoyed, let me finish talking first."
Jia Min said: "Talk about it. If it doesn't work out, I can't spare you!"
"Okay, if it doesn't work out, I'll punish my niece and daughter-in-law!" Wang Xifeng said, "Speaking of which, my niece and daughter-in-law have been thinking about it for two months. Seeing that our family has lost face this time, it's also a crooked one. Breaking away from the seriousness of the past. What's more, my father-in-law has been silent for almost 20 years before, and the mansion has been controlled by there for more than ten years. We have long since had nothing to do with the accounts and entertainment. Now we have all the deficits. It's up. I reckon that in two years, when your nephew turns 20, you can consider filling in the vacancy. Do you think our family has come to the end of all hardships?"
When Jia Min heard about it, she turned the fan in her hand and said nothing.
What Wang Xifeng said, how could she not know?
She had already compared the future of the two brothers when Jia Amnesty seized the title and Jia Zheng was dismissed from office and the two brothers were ordered to separate the family.Jia Amnesty is indeed much better than Jia Zheng.More importantly, Jia Lian insisted on repaying the deficit despite the opposition of his elders, and practiced it himself. Such behavior has already given the court a word of loyalty.It may not be possible for the current emperor, but when the new emperor takes over, Jia Lian's chance will come!
Jia Lian is fine, isn't Jia Cong not good?He is ten years younger than Jia Lian. If he studies hard and has his elder brother to take care of him, his future will not be too bad!
Thinking of this, Jia Min couldn't help asking: "What is Lian'er doing at home now?"
"My father-in-law gave him my mother-in-law's dowry Zhuangzi, and now he is practicing with that Zhuangzi."
The mother-in-law here refers to Jia Lian's biological mother, and Jia She was originally married to Zhang.
These days, because Jia's mother is not well, Jia Shexing's wife, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and Jia Cong go to Jia Zheng's house every day to inquire, but it doesn't mean they don't have other things to do, on the contrary, they have a lot of things to do.
Take Wang Xifeng's dowry Zhuangzi as an example. Because of the careful arrangements before, her dowry Zhuangzi began to raise poultry, livestock and earthworms after repairing the greenhouse.Bai Zhuangtou is in charge of the specific affairs, and Jia Lian just needs to go on regular patrols.Also, the dividends of off-season vegetables should be taken care of clearly—thanks to the off-season vegetables from late January to early February, this is also the fourth payment of off-season vegetables this season. Otherwise, Wang Xifeng would not be able to spend so much money.
With this final payment, there is the silver for dividends, and the money for further construction on Zhuangzi.Even if the village is engaged in breeding, there is money to buy chickens, ducks, gooses, piglets, and lambs. As for rabbits, there is no need to buy them at all, just let the farmers go up the mountain to catch them.
In short, the core idea of Zhuangzi's construction is that Zhuangzi belongs to Wang Xifeng, and all the products on Zhuangzi belong to Wang Xifeng.
As for whether the tenants in the Zhuangzi and the nearby villagers objected, firstly, Wang Xifeng paid high wages, and secondly, Wang Xifeng had tried his best to arrange the people in the Zhuangzi, even the children were arranged to work in addition to going to the Meng School, so that They have a chance to earn a few dim sum dollars.
Rewards and punishments are too great, the rewards are much, and the punishments are heavy.The dealers knew how powerful they were, but there were minor twists and turns, but they didn't dare to confront Wang Xifeng head-on.
Bai Zhuangtou acted thoughtfully, Jia Lian made regular inspections, and Wang Xifeng's account books here were also considered fine, which made things go smoothly for Zhuangzi, but Jia Lian's side was not so smooth.The fundamental reason is that after more than ten years, there is no one to supervise, and things in Zhuangzi are in chaos!
There is no way, no one supervises, no matter how loyal a slave is, he will guard himself and steal.Not to mention, the Ningrong Second Mansion was originally a big dye vat, good people would either die or become bad when they came in, and the bad people would only become crazier after a long time.
Although Zhang's family is well-bred, but the Zhang family has been gone for more than ten years and almost 20 years, and there are more or less problems in this village.Jia Lian is young, so it takes a lot of effort to take care of Zhuangzi.
Jia Min is also very clear about these things. After all, her companion is also from the Jia family. How much effort Lin Ruhai and Lin Mu spent in order to let him understand the disadvantages, and how much effort she spent in punishing these slaves , she is very clear.
Jia Min said: "The housekeeper and director are nothing more than rewards and punishments. But the bad habits passed down in the mansion, I'm afraid these people have been used to it for a long time. If there is no generous reward, how would they be willing to do things?! It's just this generous reward... ...Feng girl, you didn't give Lian'er the recipe for winter fruits and vegetables, did you?"
Wang Xifeng nodded: "Auntie is right!"
Jia Min said: "You! This is your prescription! It will be left to your children in the future!"
Fangzi is worth more than silver.Since ancient times, it is rare for a daughter to be accompanied by Fang Zi when she gets married.Especially the recipes with off-season vegetables are worth more than the dowries of Jia Min, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng!
"Auntie, what did you say, why didn't I know? But Auntie also knows that the most taboo thing in this world is to eat alone. If it is said that when they heard about these winter fruits and vegetables outside last winter, many people tilted their heads and couldn't believe it. So this winter, I don’t know how many people are staring at the niece and daughter-in-law’s dowry Zhuangzi. In the next winter, I don’t know how many winter fruits and vegetables will come out of this capital! If there are too many of these things, they will naturally be worthless ! Anyway, it can only be done for a year or two. Why bother to hold it tightly in your hands and cause trouble for yourself?! If it can help Lian's second brother take control of that Zhuangzi, it will be a fight between us and my wife."
"Lian'er is lucky to have married you, otherwise..."
Jia Min shook his head and sighed.
Wang Xifeng said: "Auntie, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want this prescription, Auntie?"
"you do not mind?"
"What do you mind? If Zhuangzi from my aunt's family learns it and helps me share some of it, maybe it will save me from disaster!"
Who is the most needy person in this world? It's the emperor.And it is the House of Internal Affairs that helps the emperor take care of the property.Wang Xifeng was the first to say that this yamen didn't pay attention to the prescription in her hand.
There is no patent protection law in this era!
Last year, the couple already earned 20 million silver from this, and it looks like they can earn even more this year!If she ate alone, I don't know what tricks they will come up with!
In fact, there are many strange things in this world, such as the deficit, debt repayment is justified, but Jia Lian Wang Xifeng has become a thorn in the eyes of some people because he repaid all the deficits of the court.For this reason, Wang Xifeng had to borrow money from the treasury again with Jia Lian's post.
Wang Xifeng's borrowing of silver is different from other people's borrowing of silver from the treasury.When she borrowed money from the national treasury, she clearly stated in the document that "the monthly interest is one cent, simple interest calculation, monthly interest payment, and repayment at the end of the year".The translation is: the annual interest rate is 12.00%, which is converted into a monthly interest rate of 1%. If you borrow 100 taels, you need to repay [-] taels of interest every month, and the principal will be repaid at the end of the year.
In later generations, this kind of writing can be said to be full of loopholes, but it is the first in this era!The household officials in charge shook their heads, saying that it was the court's grace to allow hundreds of officials to borrow money, so how could they collect interest.Wang Xifeng didn't know how much she spent talking about it, and repeatedly emphasized that this was to prevent the court from calling for payment, so she left this statement. Later, Prince Ming heard about it inside, and came out to ask the reason, so he borrowed it.
Wang Xifeng borrowed a total of 5 taels of silver, and prepared to go to Lijia Village to buy [-] mu of land when the rice was harvested.
She found out clearly that, just like the previous dungeon, peat and lignite were also buried in the ground, and they were also buried at a height of one foot and five feet.
Fortunately, after getting the family home, Jia Amnesty even handed over the account to Jia Lian directly after getting a new account, otherwise, she would not be able to buy the land here.
It's just that there's no need to tell Jia Min about these things.
On the other hand, Jia Min also knew that what Wang Xifeng said was not a lie. If the Lin family also produced off-season vegetables, it would really help Wang Xifeng share the risk.Immediately thanked him solemnly, and then, under Wang Xifeng's recommendation, let his Zhuangtou and Baizhuangtou meet.
The Lin family is also preparing to produce off-season vegetables.
This matter was not hidden from Jia She.On the contrary, when Wang Xifeng returned from Lin's house that day, he reported to Jia She.
After Jia Amnesty heard this, he only said that he knew it, and then turned around and started to study the homework of his youngest son, Jia Cong.
Anyway, he was also the companion of the old Prince Yizhong back then, and he also received the teachings of the country's top scholars and great Confucians in the upper study room. Jia She is fully capable of enlightening Jia Cong.
As for the future, Jia Amnesty has already decided to see if the youngest son is talented and hardworking enough.If he is hardworking and talented, Jia Amnesty will consider throwing this son to Lin Ruhai and become Lin Ruhai's student.
Regardless of the big and small things, this year has passed like this.
Although farming has not yet taken off, and is even short of reaching a balance of income and expenditure, the price of off-season vegetables this winter is not as high as last year, but Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng still earn a lot of money from it.At the beginning of February of the following year, the couple combined, and the two villages together earned a full winter of 52 taels!Even after excluding the dividends to the stewards and tenants, plus other expenses, the couple received 45 taels of silver in the end.
Seeing so much money sent into the treasury with his own eyes, when he returned to Mude Hall, Jia Lian's footsteps were all floating. Even when he sat in the main hall of Mude Hall, he didn't react, and just sat there in a daze.
Wang Xifeng was also narrow-minded, so she asked someone to bring a fine white porcelain vase from the official kiln, and went to the independent small garden behind Mude Hall to break a willow branch spouting new green, and put it in the vase. , and put it in front of Jia Lian.
Only then did Jia Lian come to his senses.
He looked at the clean bottle in front of him, then at Wang Xifeng who was laughing,
He looked at the clean bottle in front of him, and at Wang Xifeng who was trembling with laughter,
Immediately jumped up: "Well done you Feng'er! You actually made fun of me!"
The young couple ran away one by one and chased after the other. Wang Xifeng's laughter echoed in the Mude Hall.
Jia Lian finally caught up with his wife, held her down, and feigned anger: "Say it! Do you dare?"
Wang Xifeng leaned against the pillar and said with a smile: "I dare not. Good brother, please forgive me this time?"
Jia Lian blushed, and couldn't help pinching Wang Xifeng: "You little goblin."
But he couldn't say anything else.
Wang Xifeng said: "Oh, it hurts."
Jia Lian immediately became nervous: "Really, really? I, I didn't try too hard..."
Wang Xifeng laughed again.
Only then did Jia Lian realize that she had been tricked again, so she had to say, "Feng'er, you've got me determined."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Is it because I'm sure of you, or is it that you love me and let me let me have you?"
Jia Lian glared at her: "Know it and say it!"
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I'm telling you something serious. It's spring again, do you have any plans?"
Jia Lian said: "plan? What else can I do? Isn't it like this for the rest of my life?"
The Jia family's behavior has attracted taboos, and he is afraid that he will only be like this for the rest of his life.
Up to now, he has also accepted his fate.
But Wang Xifeng said: "I have a different idea about this, second brother Lian, do you want to hear it?"
Jia Lian glared at her.
He couldn't stand Wang Xifeng calling him Lian's second elder brother.
no way,
young,
Can't stand teasing.
"Say."
Jia Lian pretended to be serious.
Wang Xifeng said softly: "Actually, I have been thinking about this matter for a year. You see, the court has been urging to pay the deficit for two years, but very few people have returned the deficit. Not only that, every time the treasury receives money, the average family is I dare not continue to borrow, but some people..."
Jia Lian immediately thought of the Zhen family,
There are also Beijing Palace, Nan'an Palace, etc., all of which are amazing people.
"In this way, the court must be short of money. You mean, Wanzai might make an exception and appoint me?"
Wang Xifeng nodded, and said: "Our family earned more than half a million taels of silver in one winter. This matter can't be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the court. Even if we can't hear or see it now, I'm afraid it's from the outside world. There are already rumors that our husband and wife will be able to run the business. Tell me, Second Brother Lian, will Wansui appoint you?"
Jia Lian's eyes immediately lit up.
He always dreamed of being able to fill in the gaps. If he could make it to the top from now on, it would be exactly what he had dreamed of in his life.
Without Jia Lian answering, Wang Xifeng knew what he was thinking.
She pinched Jia Lian and said, "My good brother, listen to me."
"You say, you say."
Wang Xifeng said: "Fruits and vegetables can be sold at a reasonable price in this winter. If you want to talk about the secret, it is nothing more than the rarest thing. We have sold it for two consecutive winters. In the first winter, most people may not believe it. , After this winter, everyone will see it, and I am afraid that nine out of ten will believe it. Tell me, what will they do after they believe it?"
When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately understood: "If Wansui just appoints me to be an official in the inner mansion, and take care of this, the fruits and vegetables will be flooded in winter, and I can't sell them at a price. I'm afraid I can't afford it."
Wang Xifeng nodded heavily and said, "Exactly."
That's what worries her too.
When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help hesitating: "Well, Feng'er, since we separated, whether I can fill in the vacancy is probably also a heart disease in my father's heart."
Wang Xifeng said: "Then you have to think about it carefully. Second Brother Lian, Long Live uses you to help govern the country. Apart from fruits and vegetables in this winter, what else can you do for the court?"
Jia Lian was stunned.
Yeah, besides this, what else can I do for the court?
The author has something to say: From the analysis of this article, it can be seen that the stupid author has a very high evaluation of Lin Ruhai.
If Lin Ruhai hadn't been loyal to the imperial court, he would not have been able to be re-elected.Because the emperor was short of money, he appointed Lin Ruhai as the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou and served for another four or five years. Obviously, it was because Lin Ruhai was loyal and helped him control the money bag of the salt administration very well.Otherwise, the emperor would have confiscated the Lin family's home long ago, and it would have been impossible for Lin Ruhai to have died in office.
Of course, Lin Ruhai's skills and character must be excellent, otherwise, he would have been killed by those salt merchants and the Zhen family.The emperor would never bless an incompetent official.
Special Note.
