Chapter 293: It’s hard to pick up the hot potato (please subscribe)

At the same time, Mrs. Wang met Jia Huan in the flower hall of the second room.

"I've met my mother!"

Jia Huan saluted and said hello solemnly. He would not give Mrs. Wang the slightest opportunity to criticize her.

Some people like to find these small loopholes to show their differences in status and let the targeted people understand the seriousness and cruelty of ethics.

"Well, sit down and talk!"

Mrs. Wang nodded and had no intention of directly tormenting Jia Huan.

At this time, Jia Huan is no longer the little brat she used to take care of.

After looking at it carefully, if I am not biased, I really have to praise him: What a handsome young man!

Jia Huan was fourteen years old at this time, which would have been sixteen in virtual years. In Daqian terms, he was considered an adult!

He is already over 1.8 meters tall, and his whole body exudes a powerful aura.

Even without ferocious muscles, the clothes on his body are fully stretched, but he still gives people a strong feeling that is not easy to mess with.

His face is handsome and full of vitality, and his eyes are full of energy and energy, which makes people know that he is extraordinary at first sight.

I don't know if it was intentional, but there was more or less a martial aura about him.

Mrs. Wang didn’t feel much of a threat!

"The finances of the public and secondary schools have been completely separated, and the Rongfu farm in your hands must also be handed over!"

Regardless of what she was thinking, Mrs. Wang spoke calmly: "How is it? When can the handover be completed?"

When she said this, she didn't notice the Zhou Rui family standing next to her, showing a proud chuckle.

"Mother, before I say this, I have something to ask you!"

Jia Huan's expression remained unchanged, and he asked sincerely: "I don't know, is mother clear about the agreement I made with my second sister-in-law when I took over the farm in Fuli?"

"Oh, you and Feng Lazi still have an agreement. Can you tell us about it?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, obviously unhappy with Jia Huan's refusal to answer the question.

But what Jia Huan said aroused her interest, and it was easy to figure out the joints.

"Mother, that's it!"

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, and slowly explained what had happened: "The eight village heads who managed the farm at the time were too greedy, and in the end they all had their homes confiscated and sent to court!"

"The amount of silver copied alone is just over two hundred thousand taels. Not counting other items, the total is at least over four hundred thousand taels of silver, just a lot more!"

"Just from the belongings confiscated from the houses of these stewards, we know how much harm they have done to the eight farms. They can barely maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and they even need some support from the government from time to time!"

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but think of what happened at Bada Grange.

Of course she knew that the stewards of the farm were not good birds, and they paid her thousands of taels of silver every year.

I was in a pretty good mood at first, and thought the eight stewards were quite discerning.

But when the stewards of Bada Farm were ransacked, her mood was not so good. She remained angry for several months before she gradually subsided. It turned out that the stewards themselves were greedy even more!

How could she endure such a thing? It was like being slapped in the face by those stewards!

At the end of the co-authorship, the clown turned out to be himself. It is simply unreasonable for them to be complacent and become the stewards of these farms to avoid their responsibilities!

It could be said that Jia Huan's unhurried introduction reminded her of her original anger and embarrassment.

It's just that Mrs. Wang's appearance was very good and she didn't reveal her true emotions.

Jia Huan didn't care about this and continued on his own: "Back then, the second sister-in-law was so angry at the farm bosses and didn't want to get involved in the mess of the farm, so she found me!"

"Second sister-in-law made a request, that is, all the eight farms will be handed over to me to manage, but I must pay a rental fee of 80,000 taels of silver every year!"

In Mrs. Wang's slightly changed eyes, he solemnly said: "In other words, the annual rental fee for each farm is ten thousand taels of silver!"

"so much?"

Mrs. Wang was really surprised now. She frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration!"

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "I have some talents in business, and I have a good relationship with the Ning Mansion. I can sell food directly to the Ministry of War through the channels of the Ning Mansion!"

"If we can run the eight farms well, we can still afford the annual rental fee of 80,000 taels, and there will still be some surplus!"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Huan in surprise, she didn't expect this kid to have such ability.

At this time, she was attracted by the annual rental fee of 80,000 taels.

That's not a small amount of money. Even when she was a housekeeper, it would take her several years to earn so much money. It's really incredible.

As for the Zhou Rui family standing next to them, their faces were not so confident at this time.

"At first, I didn't want to agree!"

Jia Huan's words made Mrs. Wang raise her eyebrows, and she became even more curious.

"After all, I still know very well what kind of character the children in the house have!"

Jia Huan said unceremoniously: "A high-minded person but a low-handed person is greedy and greedy. He wants to take advantage of it whenever he sees it!"

"What if I can still make money by straightening out the Eight Farms? Who knows if there will be some stewards in the government who want to pick peaches and take advantage?" Mrs. Wang didn't react at all to this.

But the face of Zhou Rui's family standing next to him was rather ugly.

Damn it, she felt that Jia Huan was criticizing Sang and Huai, as if it was her and her husband.

What is meant by suspicion giving rise to ghosts? This is the best example.

"Second sister-in-law made an agreement with me after she found out about my worries!"

Jia Huan continued speaking unhurriedly: "Give me ten years of management rights of the Bada Farm. I have to pay the public house a rent of 80,000 taels every year. This year happens to be the third year!"

Mrs. Wang's face darkened and she said calmly: "According to your opinion, you don't want to hand over the management rights of the farm?"

The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Standing behind Mrs. Wang, the Zhou Rui family member suddenly showed a proud chuckle.

No matter what Jia Huan's talk is, as long as she doesn't want to hand over the management of the farm, my wife will definitely not agree. What will you do?

"Mother misunderstood!"

Jia Huan smiled softly and said directly: "It's not impossible to call out the management of the farm, but I just have some doubts in my heart and want to ask for clarification!"

He would not be so stupid as to directly top the cylinder with Mrs. Wang!

Do you know what "ruling the country with filial piety" means?

Regardless of whether he is justified or not, there will be no easy outcome if he directly confronts his aunt.

So what if he wins, his reputation is completely ruined!

I still want to take the martial arts exam and enter officialdom, so go ahead and dream!

The rules are just that, and until he doesn't have enough strength to ignore them, he can only obey them honestly, otherwise all the previous arrangements will be in vain.

To achieve the final goal, the time and energy required must be increased by at least dozens or even hundreds of times. It is not an exaggeration at all.

I can analyze the pros and cons and reason with Mr. Zheng, but how can I reason with Mrs. Wang?

Of course, Mrs. Wang's shortcomings are so obvious that Jia Huan cannot turn a blind eye. She has to make good use of them. Otherwise, what else can she do?

"Oh, do you have any questions?"

Mrs. Wang's face was a little gloomy, and she said impatiently: "Hurry up, I don't have much time to talk nonsense with you!"

"I want to ask, if the management rights of the farm are handed over!"

Jia Huan was not angry, but asked calmly: "Can the person who takes over do the same as me and hand over 80,000 taels of silver to the public school every year?"

"This one……"

Mrs. Wang suddenly hesitated, and the expression on her face became uncertain.

She has the temperament of Pixiu and is extremely greedy for money.

It's related to the annual income of 80,000 taels of silver. It's impossible not to feel anything at all.

"Mother, the finances of the father-in-law and the middle school are divided. Of the 80,000 taels of rental money for the farm each year, 30% of it comes from the second sister-in-law. There is no way she doesn't want it!"

Jia Huan continued to speak and said in a deep voice: "If the person who takes over the management of the farm can promise to hand over 80,000 taels of silver every year, then I will immediately hand over the management rights of the farm!"

"Otherwise, I'm worried that my second sister-in-law will cause trouble for me in the future!"

As he spoke, he showed a helpless look and said with a wry smile: "After all, it involves eighty thousand taels of silver!"

"Even if mother doesn't care, she still needs to give the second sister-in-law 24,000 taels of silver, so she can't give her a cent less!"

Which of your eyes can see that I don’t want money?

That's fifty-six thousand taels of silver per year, not five hundred and sixty taels!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang subconsciously looked at the Zhou Rui family beside her, her eyes flickering.

It was Zhou Rui's family who kept tempting her to

The management rights of the Eight Great Farms were taken back from Jia Huan.

This time, she explained her thoughts and got a clear answer.

But the problem is that the interests involved are too great, so the Zhou Rui family has to take a stand.

She knew what Zhou Rui's family wanted. Didn't they just want her man to take over?

Mrs. Wang doesn't care at all who manages the eight farms in the mansion, but the annual lease money must be in place, otherwise she will not be able to pass this test, not to mention that Wang Xifeng is not a good-tempered person.

Feeling the look in Mrs. Wang's eyes, Zhou Rui's face suddenly turned bitter, as if he had eaten coptis. How could he dare to accept such words?

That's 80,000 taels of silver per year, not 8,000 taels!

Jia Huan's words made everything clear. Even if she wanted to reduce some numbers, it would be impossible.

The reason why Mrs. Wang was persuaded to take back the management rights of the farm from Jia Huan was naturally because she wanted to make a fortune.

But Zhou Rui's family knows their own affairs, and whether their men have that kind of business ability, Zhou Rui's family is quite clear. The reason why they are able to thrive outside is just because they are pretending to be powerful.

If you really focus on your actual business capabilities, the final result will most likely be losses.

The Eight Great Farms might lose tens of thousands of dollars a year. How can they afford it?
