No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 621 Thinking Beautifully

"Aren't you talking about whether they have money to repair the garden? Then the restoration of the garden in Jiarong Mansion will cost six or seven hundred thousand taels, right?" Niu Jizong couldn't see Liu Fang's virtue. He felt that Liu Fang was a little weird these days. of. I don’t know who provoked him.

"No." Liu Fang shook her head and shook her fan gently, "Have you forgotten what the Jia family was doing when stones were more expensive than silver in the capital?"

Everyone looked up together. They knew that the Beijing Wang family spent 1.5 million taels, and they actually admired the Jia family's management ability, so they felt that they had to spend 600,000 to 700,000 taels. As a result, now it is said that this is useless, and what should the Jia family do when King Beijing and others are building a villa for relatives? What can I do? Their family went out to play. But immediately, everyone's minds were buzzing.

"They delivered food to various construction sites, and they also kept buying curtains, tablecloths, chair covers, flowers and plants from outside and brought them to Beijing, making money from everyone. At that time, many people in Beijing were jealous, but they were not a little jealous. There was no way. As for delivering food, the Jia family had the upper hand at that time. Even if we wanted to follow, we didn’t know what was in Zhuangzi. How could we do it? As for decoration, they were in Jiangnan at that time. , the person in charge of the family really did not need to discuss it, just purchased it directly from various places and shipped it back to the capital. Who could learn this? At that time, every family was exhausted by the garden. The Wu family said that they sold four or There were five houses and a lot of property, and who had the money to buy it at that time? The Jia family made money from everyone, and at the same time, they used the money to buy each family's property cheaply. It's all for free. So this time, the land and houses are exchanged for the houses on Ningrong Street. The pictures above are divided into blocks, and each family chooses the area on Ningrong Street. It’s the government’s.”

Liu Fang didn't need them to think about it and continued on her own. He was embarrassed to say that he saw a familiar antique on an antique shelf somewhere in King Beijing's garden. He had seen this antique at Jia Zheng's, and it was an antique he bought in a scam. So he absolutely believed that the Jia family took the opportunity to sell a batch of inventory that no one wanted. Obviously, there were too many fools and not enough liars at that time. But he pretended he didn't see this, and now he doesn't dare to use it as an analogy. He only dares to talk about the Wu family, because at that time, the Wang family in Beijing also sold off a lot of property. He didn't believe it, King Beijing didn't know.

You really don’t need to bother checking this. In fact, it’s all listed on the stall. After a little inquiry, it will be clear at a glance. When the Jia family was selling vegetables, some people also impeached them. However, selling vegetables was not something that was harmful to nature and etiquette. They were beaten back before they even got to the holy place. So everyone knows that although they smile on the face, as soon as they get home, they quickly ask if their home is okay.

Of course it doesn’t work! Because Zhuangzi has been in charge of the village leaders for many years. They have to pay the money at the end of the year, what to plant, how much to plant, and how to sell it. They have never taken care of these. Now if they are asked to take care of it, they can't control it. Even if the bad-tempered one had to ask Zhuangtou to plant it, Zhuangtou would not agree to it, because if he plants it now, it will take three or four months before he can eat it. After three or four months, the vegetables from each family will be available. , then the food will not be sold for the price.

So for all kinds of things, the Jia family had made enough money at that time, and they also knew better the process required to build a garden, so other people’s families had six to seven hundred thousand taels. When they came to their house, they could buy land for free, eat for free, design, The supervisors were free of charge, and the required bricks and stones were old bricks and tiles from demolished houses, and Liu Fang also heard that the design was based on local conditions, so none of the excavated mud was wasted. In this way, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are needed.

What Liu Fang didn't say was that the Jia family taught a school, not a family-friendly villa like other families that only wasted money. In the past seven years, they really had to pass every exam, and they didn't even enter the safe to get insurance from their school. This kind of family education needs to be re-educated. Parents of students who are not allowed to spend money on weekdays, will they come back to repay their "teacher's kindness"?
Send some building materials to this house, flowers and trees to that house, and if you have a large family, send some people out to help clean and move the head office, right? The Jia family doesn't even need to take care of the food. They bring their own carriages and horses to help, and then go back to eat by themselves, making sure not to embarrass the Jia family. Like this, how much do you think they can spend?

Of course, that's not the point. As I just said, the garden of the Wang family in Beijing is really useless except for a waste of money. As for Jia Family School, in addition to being a place for leisure, its important function is that it is a school. An important function of the school is to accept students and collect tuition fees. I just said that the Jia family has received a full harvest this year, 60,000 taels!

An ordinary family in Beijing can live for a year with 25 taels, and taels is the annual living expenses of ordinary families. In the original book, Qin Zhong went to study at the Jia Family School and scrapped together twenty taels. That's still an official family!
The Jia family's annual tuition fee is 20*500, or 10000 per class, and these students also have social practice every year, and the Jia family allows them to go on internships and practice everywhere. It's not like I did this for nothing. I got half the money from the students and half from the students. That's why Liu Fangcai said that this family science is the treasure trove of the Jia family, and the point is that other families can't learn it.

King Beijing didn't like to hear this the most. He also knew this. It was because he knew it that he felt resentful and deliberately refused to go this time. I'm gardening, but you won't come. If you build a school and ask me to go, I will go? There is no such statement. But now, talking about this is really boring.

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this? The Jia family has not been of the same mind as us in the past few years. They live their own lives wholeheartedly. Now in Jingying, if Prince Teng dies, the Jia family doesn't want it. It's all at the advantage of the superiors. Inner Imperial Guards Shi Ding is that boy's disciple. Although he is also from an old position, he has long been dissatisfied with us. He is also the Prince of Nan'an County. Now he is fighting for us four princes and eight princes. In fact, when will he be strong? No one will look down on you. If the Jia family lives like this, I would rather die."

"If King Nan'an makes a great contribution this time, the pressure on King Xining can be reduced a little. The southeast, northwest, west, and south are still guarding the border due to geographical problems, but the royal family still wants to try to capture the four kings. This time The King of Nan'an went with his eldest son. "The grandson of Niu Qing, the first-class Bo Niu of Zhenguo, was full of envy. Like the Jia family, they had lost military power a long time ago. Who can take over the army with their eldest son now?
They are all hereditary generals. He Ying knows everything about the military, let alone them. King Nan'an is planning for the next twenty years, how can he not make these people envious.

King Beijing was also envious, but there was nothing he could do. His father died early, and his grandmother and mother wanted him to live well, so they had no choice but to let him give up martial arts and become civilized. Now he has lost even the subsidies from the North and offended the emperor in the palace. Concubine, if the person with the most opposition now is him, because he clearly saw the butcher knife being raised, it was not that the royal family did not dare to kill her, but was waiting for the opportunity.

"The King of Xining has never been in the capital. Even if the emperor wants to find trouble, it will be difficult. The King of Nan'an has gone to the south, and he and the King of Xining are at odds with each other, and he can dominate one side." Shi Guangzhu said excitedly.

Tomorrow is Thursday, but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have a meeting and think it's half dark.
