The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Jia Lian's eyes were still on the county chronicle, he read the last line carefully, and then turned the page.

Xing'er was stunned, and took a peek at Second Master Lian, the anger that was originally filled with righteous indignation was driven away by Second Master Lian's calm reaction.

"Could it be that the second master is going to use this land as a breeding ground like Xiaozaozhuang?"

Xing'er still didn't get a response.

After being quiet for a while, Xing'er became more and more aggrieved as he thought about it, and his resentment accumulated again, "Even if it is a breeding farm, then we don't need to buy that piece of bad land. It would be cheaper to just get a piece of wasteland for reclamation. Second Master, We were really tricked this time, why don't we use Uncle Lin's reputation to scare that guy and get the money back?"

Jia Lian finally put down the book and looked up at Xing'er coldly.

Xing'er was so guilty of being looked at by the second master, she reflected on herself, and quickly slapped herself, "Damn the little one, the little one shouldn't make up his own mind and bark like nonsense!"

"Then back off."

Jia Lian's eyes fell on the book again, and continued to study the contents above.

Concentrate on reading, he doesn't like to be interrupted.

It wasn't until evening that Jia Lian summoned Xing'er and gave him a tael of silver so that he could have time to treat Housekeeper Lin to a drink.

Xing'er felt that the second master must have something to explain to him, so he asked cautiously: "The little one... what should I say?"

Jia Lian raised his eyes to see Xing'er's nervousness, and chuckled, "Just have a good drink with him, and behave naturally. Don't talk too much about me, but you can't say nothing, and you must wait for others to ask me about it." You can talk when you are."

Xing'er realized it and nodded.

When having wine with Butler Lin at night, Xing'er behaved very naturally and didn't take the initiative to mention anything.After Steward Lin asked about the Rong Mansion, Xing'er only slightly mentioned the meritorious deeds that Second Master Lian had done.Later, both of them drank too much, and Xing'er got a little excited, and then mentioned that the second master Lian was cheated when he bought the land a few days ago.Lin Butler's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he wanted to ask carefully.But Xing'er shook his head and didn't mention it, and his words were very vague, just expressing his indignation.

After much deliberation, Lin Butler felt that he should tell Lin Ruhai about this matter. After all, Second Master Lian was wronged in Yangzhou, so he should let him know.

Lin Ruhai immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter in detail, and soon he investigated the relationship between the seller and the Xue family.If in the past, when he and Brother Xi were still alive, Lin Ruhai would never have worried about anything.But now it's different, his wife is seriously ill, brother She and his eldest son came to visit, he is very sincere, he should be grateful in return.

The first room...the second room...the Xue family...

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's heart sank, and he thought a lot.

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai called Jia Lian to come to him and asked him about the purchase of the land in detail.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I know it is a thin field, and the land is a little deserted. Although I haven't inquired about the previous harvest of that field, I know the situation in my heart when I see it. I didn't care what he said, but because If you want the land, you will buy it.”

Seeing Jia Lian's calmness, Lin Ruhai couldn't help admiring Jia Lian's mind, "Then since you don't know well, why do you spend money to buy it?"

"Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and those born in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges. In fact, the same principle applies to farming. That piece of land is definitely a loss for food, but it's just right for other things." Jia Lian explained with a smile.

"It makes me more and more curious." Lin Ruhai laughed, twirling his beard politely, "But I look forward to seeing the result with my own eyes rather than continuing to ask you for answers. Uncle is just waiting for you to turn that piece of land into waste. Treasure! But now there is one more thing to consider, who do you know who is the real owner of that land?"

Jia Lian thought for a while, then returned to Lin Ruhai uncertainly: "Yesterday I heard from Xing'er that it seemed to be the Xue family. He was doing other things at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. Could it be the Xue family from Jinling?"

Lin Ruhai nodded: "I've already checked, and it's true. It's strange to say that the Xue family's property should all be in Jinling, but they suddenly went to Yangzhou to buy a property. I also heard that the eldest son of his family Xue Pan is currently playing in Yangzhou."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian with deep meaning, hoping that he would understand his prompt.

"I will deal with this matter," Jia Lian always hated dishonest people, not to mention this time it was a malicious deception. Although there was no evil result, they had to be taught a lesson for a long time to remember.

Jia Lian thought about it, and added a time limit, "Probably around a year ago."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily. He really liked Jia Lian's calm and intelligent character.He had listened to Jia Min's analysis before, the reason why Jia Amnesty came to Yangzhou and stayed for a long time was probably due to Jia Lian.At that time Lin Ruhai didn't quite believe it, but now he does.

His eldest nephew has a city in his chest and great wisdom, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"By the way, you bought that piece of Susukida, but is it because you don't have enough money?"

Jia Lian glanced at Lin Ruhai with a half-smile, and sure enough, Jiang was still hot, and Lin Ruhai saw through his difficulties at a glance.He is indeed short of funds and can't use it.

Jia Lian was also polite, and nodded directly to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Uncle also has a little property under his name, but he has no time to take care of it due to heavy official duties, and your aunt's body is like that, so naturally she has no energy. Now several villages have been abandoned, and there is no shortage of profits. Not much. How about this, you will help my uncle take care of it in the future, and if you make a profit, I will give you [-]% of it, how about it?"

Lin Ruhai really liked Jia Lian, that's why he proposed such a big interest of [-]%.

"They are all relatives of my own family. A little help is nothing. My nephew is willing to do it, but I can't ask for money." As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, Lin Ruhai wanted to persuade him again, and immediately said, "If uncle feels embarrassed, you must If you want to give your nephew something, just leave some seeds for him when Zhuangzi has a good harvest next year."

"Seeds?" Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, leaving some seeds is nothing at all.Even though he really wanted to share more profits with Jia Lian, seeing Jia Lian's sincerity, Lin Ruhai couldn't force it, and nodded in agreement, giving Jia Lian's character a higher evaluation in his heart.

Jia Lian was almost perfect in Lin Ruhai's eyes.

Lin Ruhai hooked Jia Lian's shoulder curiously, and patted his arm. Now he really likes this eldest nephew, but hates that he is not his own son.

……

In the next few days, Jia Amnesty was urged by Jia Lian to go to Jia Min to tell stories.In the past, Jia Min lived in panic every day bored in the house, with nothing to look forward to. Coupled with the grief of losing her son, she didn't like to drink medicine to treat illnesses.Now because of Jia Amnesty's story, Jia Min has expectations every day, and is willing to drink the medicine instead, because after drinking the medicine, she can hear the wonderful stories told by her elder brother.

Gradually, being urged by Jia Lian for a long time, Jia She has the consciousness of telling stories to Jia Min, just like people have to eat on time every day, storytelling has now become a daily habit of Jia She.

Jia Lian didn't care about Jia Amnesty until now, and after visiting Jia Min every day as usual, he was busy collecting herbal seeds.

When he had free time, Jia Lian would go to the rice shop, but he only looked at the unhulled rice.When he came across a batch of large grains in the hands of any grain store, he would take a magnifying glass to observe carefully, and then weigh a catty first. If he appeared again three days later, he would definitely take the whole batch of rice.

In less than half a month, Jia Lian's "abnormal behavior" became famous in the rice and grain industry in the entire Yangzhou City.

Everyone knows that there lives in the Lin Mansion a handsome young man from the Duke's Mansion who likes to collect large grains of rice.So all the rice shops in Yangzhou City would send samples to Jia Lian for a look whenever they got good goods.

In the house where Jia Lian lived, there was a heated kang in the inner room, which was very warm when sleeping on it in winter.But now the kang is never full of people, and it is full of three-inch bowls.The bowls are next to each other, almost each one is filled with rice, soaked in water, and covered with a layer of gauze.There is still a note stuck to the side of the bowl, on which the date and source are briefly recorded, which is a mark that only Jia Lian can understand.

Once the rice germinates, Jia Lian will use a magnifying glass to observe the condition of the sprouts, and at the same time count the germination rate, and then decide whether to buy this batch of seeds.

Jia Lian would not throw away the germinated rice either. He would change the pots and put soil on them. These soils were all kinds of soils he collected from Linfu's Zhuangzi.

One day, Daiyu heard that there was a lot of green grass growing on Lian's second brother's kang. She was very curious, so she asked her father when she was saying hello.Lin Ruhai was also curious when he heard it, so he brought his daughter to see it directly.

Hearing that Jia Lian happened to be busy in the 'inner room with long grass', Lin Ruhai became playful and deliberately refused to be notified, and took her daughter directly to the door.As soon as the father and daughter entered the house, they saw the green grass all over the kang.

It happened that Jia Lian was recording something seriously with a booklet, and after recording, he would carefully observe the 'grass' with a magnifying glass.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu, father and daughter, looked at each other, and they were both amused by Jia Lian's weird behavior.

Jia Lian didn't discover them until now because he was too focused.

Daiyu stared at the note on the kang bowl very curiously. She pointed to the Arabic numeral "8" on it, and curiously asked Jia Lian what he read.

"Eight means the number eight." Jia Lian explained.

Daiyu nodded, looked at "1" and "3" again, and continued to ask curiously.Jia Lian explained them one by one.

With sharp eyes, Lin Ruhai saw a bowl on the top of the kang that was not covered with gauze and had no seeds sprouting, "This is?"

"Cooked rice." Jia Lian narrowed his eyes lightly, and said in a meaningful tone, "Recently, a mysterious person who came from nowhere offered to buy rice from me. The price was quite high, and he said that he was buying rice for the Chinese New Year. Yes, but obviously he is not as simple as just buying it for dinner."

Lin Ruhai was startled, and suddenly remembered what Jia Lian said last time that he would teach the Xue family a lesson.

The author has something to say: Xue Pan in Wenrou Township sneezed twice in a row in 360, with a vague premonition.

Jia Lian: Pray

Xue Pan's eyes were full of tears: I prayed, so you can let me go, right?

Jia Lian: Pray hard, maybe there will be a miracle, and a few grains of rice will germinate in a thousand catties of seeds.

Xue Pan: (┬_┬) (Let me die!)

Jia Lian: Even if you die, you are just a starving ghost.

Xue Pan: "..."

Ding--

Xue Pan has modified his permanent personal status: I am dead, and the cause of death: death from anger + starvation.
