No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 620 Settlement of Accounts
King Beijing remained silent. He also had great expectations for the Jia family to rebuild and expand the school this time. He still feels that he has suffered a huge loss from the Provincial Family Courtyard. From time to time, I have to regret that one and a half million taels of silver were spent on a garden. Now that he is being mentioned by these people, he really feels a bit miserable.

Therefore, he hopes Jia's family will build a garden more than anyone else. Seeing that the Jia family suffered heavy casualties in the Beijing Rebellion, he felt very happy. Even if the foundation is not touched, it will cost a lot of money to re-build the Rongqing Hall and the east courtyard. Not to mention, there are new ethnic studies. He was just waiting to see how the Jia family, who had to go out independently, would repair the house and school.

Thinking about it, the Jia family spent a lot of money to buy back the clan's house. He had heard that the Jia family's clan members were more difficult to deal with than the last. When the old Duke was here, everyone had to be polite. Now, even if Jia She is not as easy to talk to as Dai Shan, but the clan members have relatives there, even if Jia She is a bastard, he will still give him the money he deserves. You have to give it, the Jia family can't afford to lose this person. That’s real money!

And it is impossible for the clan to provide this money. Besides, I heard Lai Er said that there is no money in the clan. When it comes to paying, it will be shared equally by Ning Rong and Ning Rong. The government is just holding on.

Compensation was given to the tribesmen, the land was recovered, and a garden was built. Taking a step back, even the students in the Jia family school are as smart as Qin Zhong and can help, but they can't save the scenery, materials, and labor when building a house, right?
Also, the price of building materials in Jingli is now falling, but it rose too much before. This time, even if it falls, it can't stop you from increasing your quantity. So he did the math for the Jia family in private and felt that even if the Jia family couldn't spend one million, they would need seven or eight hundred thousand. This is not counting the precious furnishings and furniture that the Jia family lost during the Beijing Rebellion. After the house is built, all these miscellaneous things cost more money.

Think about what Lai Da said, the Jia family had little money in the officialdom when they left. At that time, many servants' homes were ransacked, and Zhou Rui's family finally filled the hole in the Rong Mansion. And how many other servants can there be. As for the Lai family, although they didn't say it, King Beijing could guess it. The Lai family has controlled Ning Rong's second house for decades, and they should have tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, with tens of thousands of taels of silver and the income of several Zhuangzi, it is unlikely that the Rong family will be able to afford the seven to eight hundred thousand taels. ?
He has just been watching with cold eyes these days, waiting to see the Jia family being stretched thin. As a result, the Jia family started repairing things calmly. From the report, it can be seen that the Jia She brothers are not very concerned. They go to the countryside to accompany their mother when they have nothing to do. Now even the most disliked Jia family is speechless when it comes to the filial piety of these two brothers. I have never seen such a filial person. Even at such an old age, he is still completely obedient to his mother. Sometimes King Beijing becomes anxious and wants to know where the Rong Mansion's money comes from.

"Previously, the prince's family invited the Jia family to visit their provincial residence. As a result, the Jia family made a dream of acting as a benefactor, which made everyone lose face. Now the Jia family has built a university hall themselves, thinking that it has the support of the imperial concubine. They are above all our families. I don’t even think about it. If we don’t go, their garden party will be very shabby.” Hou Xiaokang, the hereditary son of the Duke of Xiuguo, said angrily. He remembered that King Beijing was shaking with anger. And this time, the Jia family's banquet will be divided. If they don't go, only the Zhanghou family, the in-laws of the Jia family, will go. Even if the clan and courtiers give them face, some things are not that easy.

"Just as the prince said, the empress actually wants their family to hold a Double Ninth Festival banquet. According to the order of the old lady of the Jia family, and the imperial concubine herself said it, the Jia family will have to wait for seven or eight days this time. And Jia's family has to wait for seven or eight days. The family held this garden party, and it took only three days to solve it. Moreover, they only needed a place, and there were special people to tie the lanterns with paper, and then put the eyes on them. Those lanterns were made by the craftsmen, and they would sell them if they could, but they would not pay the money. For the Jia family. Now I feel that what is being prepared inside is all professional. If the Jia family doesn’t want to bother, then it can only be spent money. "

"That's why I'm saying now, where does their money come from?" Niu Jizong gave that man a look. He felt that his people were going to be ruined. Didn't he express himself clearly just now? He had been talking for a long time and asked where the money came from. Knowing that, he also opened the door a little. Now among the four princes and eight princes, which family is not short of money?

Everyone gave Niu Jizong a look. You don't have to ask. Everyone wants to know, but where does anyone know this? Those who should be driven away were all driven away when they were in decline, and no one could inquire about them until they became prosperous.

"It's not like schools can really make money, right?" Shi Guangzhu couldn't help but said suspiciously. Now he wants to set up a school. Jia She can do it, so why can't he do it. Is it possible that you have to be a prodigal to run a good school?

Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but become fascinated. They all looked at King Beijing and said that no one could compare to him in terms of literary fortune. He was a master who loved to read and was good at reading as the old sage himself praised.

King Beijing was also a little fascinated. It was a good idea to run a school. However, he tried. Instead of doing it himself, he signaled his disciples to do one, but it failed. Because running a school requires reputation. Look at the eleven sons of the Jia family, but it took one year to send them all to the position of scholar. Let the Jia family learn to become famous in one battle. Who can guarantee this? If you didn't dare to guarantee it, who would be willing to spend five hundred and two years? No one’s money comes from floods.

"Really, the Jia family only has 150 students now, and the ones who charge fees are less than 120. They have fully calculated that this year they have collected all the money, which is only 60,000 taels of silver. They still have to raise like For a rotten scholar like Master Meng, they can really calculate how much they can afford to eat, drink, ride and shoot for so many students. People say that three hundred taels per person is the cost." King Beijing said. He said calmly.

But 60,000 taels a year is enough to stimulate everyone. With an income of 60,000 taels a year, who can have a business with an income of 60,000 taels a year? The income from their farm is less than 50,000 taels a year. As a result, they had 60,000 taels just to teach a few children here. Everyone is starry-eyed.

"The cost of three hundred taels is just a joke. They went to Jiangnan for a year before, and each student only received one hundred taels. They also brought those great scholars with them. They spent a year eating, drinking and having fun, and each of them received one hundred taels. The tuition fee is another 100 taels. Forget it! People who can afford five hundred taels a year don’t care about spending another five hundred taels. I heard that during the New Year and the holidays, these parents give out extravagant gifts. If the old lady in their family hadn’t strictly refused to accept holiday gifts, they would have been rich.” Liu Fang laughed. These people are really fools, right? Sixty thousand taels a year, don’t you think it’s enough?
So sleepy, I seem to be so sleepy every morning. But I couldn't bear to sleep at night.
