Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 161 The true nature of a jackal (please subscribe)

In Rongqing Hall, Mr. Zheng and the old lady were talking about the eight large farms outside the city.

After all, the locust plague has appeared, and Jia Huan also begged the second master Zheng for mercy. He talked to the old lady about both emotions and reasons, which could be regarded as satisfying the spiritual needs of his old lord.

Mr. Zheng Er is a truly filial son!

"The old woman has long said that it would be too much for Meng Lang to hand over the farm outside the city to Brother Huan!"

The old lady disapproved and said: "Look, there is something wrong now!"

It's fair to say that the main focus is a 'cow ratio'.

Not to mention Mr. Zheng, even Mrs. Wang, Mr. Pardon and Mrs. Xing who were sitting next to them all had their mouths twitching involuntarily, gaining a new understanding of the old lady's nonsense.

Can a child like Brother Huan affect something like the locust plague?
The old lady didn't care about this, and wrote lightly: "Sometimes, when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will hurt their teeth!"

"Mother, that matter about the farm's reduction of share tax..."

Mr. Zheng Er couldn't stand hearing it anymore and forced Jia Huan to take over the affairs of the Eight Great Farms. However, he had facilitated it all, and the old lady's sinister words were just a slap in the face.

If you have the ability, don't just talk sarcastically, take over all the farms outside the city!

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with the old lady!"

However, the old lady gave a push and said leisurely: "I just hope that Brother Huan's luck will not continue to be bad, otherwise the house will suffer great losses!"

This is to take preventive measures in advance, which is also to plant a thunder in the mind of Mr. Zheng.

If there are still various natural disasters next year, then you have to think carefully about whether Jia Huan is unlucky and let the management of the farm be handed over to others. Maybe the situation will get better.

Older gingers are more spicy!
In an understatement, Jia Huan laid the ground for the thunder, and it would explode if he was not careful.

"Lian's daughter-in-law, let's set this year's share of silver at the farm outside the city at 3 taels!"

The second master of Zheng said to Wang Xifeng: "Of course, there is no need to reduce the supply of rice, vegetables, etc. to the government. This is the duty of the farm!"

Wang Xifeng, who had been standing next to the old lady as a background, suddenly came to life at this time, smiled and nodded in agreement, feeling some sympathy for Jia Huan's bad luck.

Look, just because of a locust plague, the old lady derogated him as a bad guy.

She is well aware of the power of the locust plague.

Don't forget, Wang Xifeng has his own dowry farm, which was also affected by the locust plague this time.

Not long ago, the head of the farm came to complain that the harvest of the farm had dropped sharply due to the locust plague.

I estimate that it is less than [-]% of what it used to be!
It can be said that Wang Xifeng's dowry farm can't expect to have any income in the first half of this year. It may have to subsidize one or two, otherwise it will be troublesome for the tenants on the farm to survive.

If you think of the eight farms outside the city, don't you think that Jia Huan's life was miserable?
She was very clear-minded, and no matter how much the old lady said she disliked Jia Huan's bad luck, if her people were to manage the farm, it would be impossible for the farm to have any harvest at all.

Even the government and the government had to spend thousands of taels of silver as subsidies.

I also want the Bada Farm to hand over 3 taels of silver, so go ahead and dream!

That is to say, the old lady has high seniority and prestige, otherwise Wang Xifeng would have to temper her. It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk. If he has the ability, he can take over this mess of the farm immediately.

When Jia Lian went back to the government office, Wang Xifeng made fun of what happened in Rongqing Hall.

"Second Grandma, please don't get involved in this matter!"

Jia Lian was exhausted and had been very busy recently. He said feebly: "Brother Huan is not a vegetarian either. He has been making a lot of money recently!"

"Oh, is it possible that Brother Huan still has time to do other things?"

Wang Xifeng became interested and urged: "Tell me, what is going on?"

"What else could it be?"

Jia Lian said impatiently: "This boy has long predicted that there may be a locust plague. Together with that stupid overlord Xue Pan, he transports grain from the south to the north. He can make a lot of money every time!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes turned red, and she said unhappily: "This kid has such a good opportunity to make money, but he doesn't tell us about it. It's really annoying!"

"He told the second grandma in advance. Does the second grandma dare to make a big bet?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It costs a lot to buy grain in the south!"

"Once this kid makes a wrong judgment and the grain he buys cannot be sold at a high price, his work will basically be in vain!"

"Losing money is not a big deal, but making money is also impossible!"

"It takes at least a month or two to transport grain from the south once, and it will take at least a month or two to sell it all. Thousands of taels of silver are invested in it. If you don't make anything, can Mistress agree?"

Wang Xifeng thought for a while and shook her head subconsciously. She felt that she might go crazy.

"How can Brother Huan discuss this with Second Mistress when there is a lot of risk?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I can only say that this boy is brave. Even if the farm really fails to harvest, he will be enough to meet the government's quota requirements!"

"This guy is really brave!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have to spend your money to do the grain business, right?"

"how is this possible?"

Jia Lian waved his hands and said disapprovingly: "Brother Huan has many ways to get money!" "The docks and artificial rivers controlled by his men alone can continuously transport silver to him!"

"Even if the grain business fails and all the money is temporarily lost, it won't take long to accumulate a lot of wealth. This kid is doing great now!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up and she said directly: "Do you want to snatch the money source from Brother Huan's hand?"

She doesn't care if she still has some business dealings with Jia Huan, so what if she directly robs Jia Huan if there is enough temptation?

Jia Lian was startled and said hurriedly: "Second Grandma, please don't do this nonsense!"

Wang Xifeng squinted and said, "Why, is it possible that the second master is still afraid?"

"I'm really scared!"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "If I dare to steal Brother Huan's money source, I won't dare to go out easily in the future!"

Wang Xifengfeng's eyes were stern and she said disdainfully: "Is it possible that Brother Huan still dares to take revenge?"

When he said this, his eyes flashed with a cold and fierce light, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions in his heart.

"Don't get me wrong, Brother Huan is not taking revenge!"

Jia Lian gave Wang Xifeng an angry look and said helplessly: "It's the green-skinned gangsters under him who won't agree!"

"It's a joke. It's just a bunch of green-skinned gangsters. Are you still afraid of the second master?"

Wang Xifeng became even more disdainful: "If we really get into trouble, we can directly call on the government to take them all down, and see if they still dare to shout?"

"Haha, once Second Mistress steals Brother Huan's way of making money, she will directly cut off the financial resources of most green-skinned gangsters. How will they react if they don't have enough to eat? Second Mistress doesn't think they dare not kill officials, right?"

"I don't understand what Second Master is saying!"

Wang Xifeng wondered: "We are just stealing Brother Huan's way to make money. How can we cut off the financial resources of most green-skinned gangsters? Where do we start talking about this?"

"Second Grandma still doesn't understand what's going on outside!"

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "Now the green-skinned gangsters under Brother Huan are divided into several waves!"

"They can still unite together because Brother Huan exists!"

"If Brother Huan didn't take charge of the situation and let them unite, they would be separated in minutes!"

"Once separated, many green-skinned gangsters who need to be commanded and dispatched by Brother Huan to make a living will immediately lose their money!"

"These guys are not good people. Does Second Mistress think they won't take the risk to assassinate officials just to vent their dissatisfaction?"

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale after hearing this, but she still said sternly: "What's the big deal? Just bring more guards around!"

"What if they are so angry that they raise money to hire a master of martial arts, or simply hire a killer?"

Jia Lian said angrily: "Second Grandma should give up this thought!"

"How can Brother Huan, a little guy, be able to get so many green-skinned gangsters to obey him?"

Wang Xifeng still refuses to give up. She is still very active in making money.

"Because before these green-skinned gangsters got rich, they followed Brother Huan!"

Jia Lian sighed: "In other words, in addition to their own abilities, they can make a fortune with Brother Huan's help and support!"

"Don't forget the well digger when you are drinking water. The most important thing for people in the world is loyalty!"

"As long as I haven't fallen out with Brother Huan because of interests, I have to give Brother Huan face!"

"Second Mistress, you think there will be no powerful people during this period. Do you want to pick peaches?"

"As a result, all the envoys they sent died in mysterious circumstances without exception!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "How many confidants does Second Mistress have that they can kill?"

"If we can't give them more support, why should they listen to Second Mistress and still give her free money as a filial piety?"

"With the power of Rong Mansion, we can protect their interests!"

Wang Xifeng said proudly: "Isn't this enough?"

"But now, they can protect their own interests!"

Jia Lian said amusedly: "Unless the Second Mistress can make them go one step further!"

"This matter, even if your uncle Wang Ziteng came here, he wouldn't dare to make such a guarantee!"

Then, under Wang Xifeng's steady gaze, he briefly described the doorways of Caoyunli and the affairs of Caobang.

But even so, Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past, she had always focused on the court and the larger dignitaries. How did she know that private organizations could develop to such an astonishing level?
Even the powerful and astonishingly powerful Governor of Water Transport did not dare to mess around!
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​snatching Jia Huan's way of making money, knowing in her heart that it was not realistic.

"Second Grandma, don't think about those things that you have and don't have!"

Jia Lian suggested: "If you really want to make money, you should discuss it with Brother Huan. I think he can provide you with a stable income channel!"
