Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 162 Unexpected (for subscription)

Naturally, Jia Huan didn't know that Wang Xifeng coveted the money-making method in his hands.

If he knew it, he would definitely laugh contemptuously.

Are you crazy about money?

Do you think any place is the same as the back house of Rong Mansion?

There are struggles for interests outside, but they all have to be fought with real swords and guns.
Those green-skinned gangsters who have experienced blood and fire have successfully evolved into gangsters, and some have even become gangsters. It is not easy to control them.

What Jia Huan is currently adopting is a method of checking and balancing each other!

Moreover, the entrance of the hall has the most mobile combat power. This is the main reason why the few Jianghu bosses who have separated are still honest and polite.

But as time went by, even Jia Huan couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future.

At this time, the benefits of the Eight Great Farms were highlighted.

At any time, it can feed dozens or hundreds of thugs, and can also meet their material needs for martial arts training and improving combat effectiveness, allowing Jia Huan to always maintain a great advantage in the power he holds.

Without further ado, Jia Huan is now instructing the tenants of a certain farm to harvest all the wheat that has not yet fully matured before the locust plague has invaded on a large scale.

Rather than letting the overwhelming locusts cause trouble, it is better to harvest the wheat in advance and use it as feed for livestock, which can be put to good use.

Of course, when he issued such an order, the tenants secretly scolded him for being silly.

Who is this idiot? Don’t you have any idea?
Once locusts attack on a large scale, all the wheat will be wiped out, and the harvest in Zhuangzi will not be the same. Is it possible that some will be kindly left for the tenants to enjoy?
Fortunately, the eight farms were not gathered together, otherwise the losses would have been really great this time.

According to the scale and intensity of the locust plague, there are three Zhuangzi who can avoid the fate of being harmed by locusts.

The remaining five farms are all within the scope of the locust plague, so don't expect to be spared.

Jia Huan became cruel and harvested all the immature wheat before the locust army came to kill them all.

This move shocked everyone.

I have never seen anyone play like this before the locust plague comes. It is simply crazy.

Not only the tenants on the farm thought so, but the heads of the surrounding farms and tenants also had the same thoughts, which was quite incredible.

How can Jia Huan understand the incomprehension of outsiders?
After harvesting the immature wheat first, the locust plague swept across the sky and covered the earth like wind and residual clouds.

Wherever the locust army passes by, the fields are in a mess and almost no crops can be harvested.

The wailing and crying of the tenants could be heard everywhere, but Jia Huan commanded his tenants to wait for the locust army to arrive, and then directly lit the wheat straw full of moisture, creating billowing smoke and killing the locusts one by one.

Locusts are passing through the border, causing mourning all over the place!
This is no joke, fortunately Jia Huan is very well prepared!

The coarse grains urgently transported from the south played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military at this time.

After the locust army passed, they immediately purchased a large number of livestock from the cattle and horse market and raised them before the summer harvest. They had enough green wheat straw and immature wheat to feed them.

It can be said that after Jia Huan's troubles, the losses can be considered minimal.

By the time the bosses of the surrounding farms came to their senses, they were already regretting it and had to think hard about how to explain it to their owners, and also asked for support and subsidies from their owners.

But without comparison, there is no harm!

If their boss were to see the five large farms belonging to Rong Mansion with herds of cattle and sheep, domestic pigs running rampant, and chickens and ducks everywhere, I am afraid they would not be in a good mood.

Coincidentally, the anti-corruption scandal set off by Jia Huan at the end of last year still has lingering consequences.

No one knows whether the dissatisfied boss will take action against the farm owner who is not doing things well.

These have nothing to do with Jia Huan!
He was able to continuously purchase grain from the south at normal prices, meeting the daily needs of the Rong Mansion without any problem, and it was hard for the Mansion to say much.

As for the supply of vegetables, aren't there still three farms that have not been affected?

Jia Huan had already made arrangements and planted a lot of seasonal vegetables there.

Even if the government is willing to spend money, he can easily supply enough eggs and duck eggs.

I have read too many farming novels in my previous life, and the authors of those novels are all talented people.

Basically, those basic agricultural technologies, such as the maggot-raising technology that specifically increases egg production, are clearly written in the novel.

Although Jia Huan could only recall roughly, he could easily succeed by following the method described in the novel.

Then, the production of eggs and duck eggs in the farm increased significantly, and the income from this alone was considerable.

Not to mention supplying one Rongfu, even ten Rongfu can be supplied.

It's just a pity that Rongfu Kitchen is unwilling to purchase goods from the farm at normal market prices even if it is purchased outside. They are really a bunch of bastards without moral integrity.

Jia Huan didn't care either. He had already made deals with all the famous restaurants in the city.

As long as the chicken eggs and duck eggs supplied by the farm are sufficient in quantity and of good quality, they will accept them all.

Even if one year is not too much, the income of several thousand taels of silver will still be enough. If the family members in the mansion knew about this, they would probably become jealous again.

Not only the production of chickens, ducks and eggs has increased, but also the breeding of other livestock, Jia Huan can give some advice.

Apart from anything else, at least when these animals are released from the market, they will weigh a lot more than ordinary animals. This is all money in vain.

In fact, even if the five major farms have no harvest, when these livestock are put out, the overall income will be much greater than in previous years!
There is no need to let the guys in the mansion know about these situations.

Their attitude towards Jia Huan was that they were afraid that Jia Huan would lose all his money, and they were not happy to see him really running the Eight Great Farms prosperously. Why bother them?

We took advantage of this opportunity to organize tenant farmers and some refugees hired from outside to carry out major renovations on the farm's water conservancy facilities, ditches, canals, and the like.

In the past, it would not have been easy for him to do this. I was afraid that someone with dissatisfaction would have brought the news to the house, and then the old lady would personally intervene.

In fact, the old lady didn't know much about things in the fields.

However, sometimes in order to establish authority or for other purposes, it is natural to have to do a lot of hard work. Otherwise, over time, someone may forget her as an old feudal monarch!
It's just that the old lady is kind and kind to her children, but she is cold and cold towards her own children. Such a double standard attitude is difficult to convince people. I just don't know whether the old lady understands it herself?

After finishing the work at the farm, this year's locust plague has officially passed.

Everyone in the capital breathed a sigh of relief!
The power of this wave of locust plague belongs to the medium-scale level. It has caused a devastating blow to the agricultural production in the Zhili area, but the other places have not been affected.

All I can say is that this is a blessing in misfortune.

When he returned to the city, he heard good news from Ning Mansion.

I don’t know how Jia Rong and Jia Qiang operated. They really followed Jia Huan’s previous suggestion and it seems to be very successful now.

Otherwise, Jia Rong's title would not have been promoted to the rank of first-class general!

After privately asking Jia Qiang, Bo Ning Mansion directly donated 50 taels of silver, so that he could upgrade his title to a first-class general.

Tsk, how else can I put it, the wealthy people make people envious, jealous and hateful?

Looking at Jia Qiang's calm demeanor when she mentioned 50 taels of silver, she really felt a little bit in need of a beating.

Needless to say, when the area around the capital was affected by the locust plague, the Ning Mansion was making a lot of money.

Moreover, the doors and channels have been completely opened. From now on, as long as you follow the steps, you can reap a steady stream of profits every year, and 10 taels of silver is nothing.

Of course, Jia Huan followed suit and took a sip of the soup. In just a few months, he also made 4 to [-] taels.

Including the dividends from the canal terminal and the artificial river channel, this year's income will probably not be less than 8 taels.

No one told Jia Huan that making a fortune silently is the way to go!
Here, the core members of Rong Mansion are naturally quite envious of Ning Mansion's promotion of title.

When I returned to the house, I had all kinds of speculations and ideas, and I was extremely envious.

You must know that the title of Ning Mansion at this time can be passed down for two or three generations, just like Rong Mansion.

Although there are only the inconspicuous Cavalry Commander and Yun Cavalry Commander behind them, they are also a type of martial arts, aren't they?
"Sir, Brother Rong from the Ning Mansion next door listened to the suggestion from the child and started working in private!"

In order to avoid the trouble of leaking the news in the future, when he returned to the big study, Jia Huan took the initiative to explain the cause of the matter clearly: "I never expected that Brother Rong could succeed!"

"What's going on, explain clearly!"

Mr. Zheng Er was a little surprised and asked hurriedly: "Why are you involved in such a thing again?"

To be honest, the title of the Ning family has been rising steadily, and the one I envy the most is the second master of the government.

In fact, in his heart, he really wanted to give himself or Jia Baoyu a title, such as Cavalry Captain or Yunqi Lieutenant, but he had no way to figure out the situation.

This will save the old lady and Mrs. Wang from having some thoughts and ideas that they shouldn't have.

But I didn't expect that Jia Huan would actually help the Ning Mansion to raise his title.

I heard that on the day when the title is officially raised, the immortal cultivators who usually live in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city will come back to attend.

"Master, Ning Mansion is really confident!"

Jia Huan smiled softly and recounted what he had said during the dinner when he was invited to have a drink.

Master Zheng was speechless after hearing this. How could he have imagined that the Ning Mansion next door would feel uneasy and scared because they made too much money?

Jia Huan was really rude. He asked the Ning Mansion next door to donate money to Jin Dynasty.

What's even more unexpected is that today, he actually accepted it and gave Yu Ning Mansion generous rewards.

These things one after another made him feel a little headache. The promotion in the title of Ning Mansion next door was bought with money, and he felt much more comfortable all of a sudden.

"Don't come up with such ideas in the future. Do you think you are powerful?"

Mr. Zheng Er was quite dissatisfied and warned: "If you want to do anything, say hello to me in advance!"
