Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 44 The seriously underestimated Jia Lian (please follow up)

Judging from Wang Xifeng's tone and demeanor, she was not involved in the loan sharking matter at this time.

Thinking about it, Wang Xifeng had not long since married into the Rong Mansion. Although the public finances of the Rong Mansion were no longer very good, they were not at the point where they could not make ends meet.

When the financial problems of the Rong Mansion really started, it started when the head of the Eight Farms found out about Wang Xifeng's background and began to find various excuses for not handing over the harvest.

At that time, Wang Xifeng, who was determined to seize power, even had to use dowry to supplement the family income for the sake of the dignity of the palace, and then she began to make money by any means.

Of course, Mrs. Wang must have pushed her from behind, causing Wang Xifeng to jump directly into the fire pit.

Mrs. Wang's zodiac sign is Pixiu, and she has a temperament that is only in and out.

Although his skills are not very good, he is not merciless in making money from the public and other places.

Speaking of usury, it is quite common for wealthy families.

When productivity is low, collecting land rent and lending money are the most stable sources of income.

The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother. There are too many people lending money to usury.

Speaking of which, the royal family is also making loan sharks.

From what Jia Huan heard, some of the largest pawnshops in the capital had royal figures behind them.

There are also famous banks and gambling houses, all of which are more or less involved with the royal family.

However, the people the royal family loaned money to were only wealthy people, and had nothing to do with ordinary people and poor civilians.

Naturally, public dissatisfaction will not boil over because of debt collection.

Most of the wealthy families in the capital have some degree of involvement. After all, this kind of business is really about making money on your own.

It can be seen from the original work of Red Mansions that Wang Xifeng was very unscrupulous in loan sharking.

How can we stand the trouble of directly targeting ordinary people?
The bad outcome was that the family was ruined, and Wang Xifeng and the Rong Mansion behind him naturally accumulated a lot of public resentment.

And Mrs. Wang, who pushed Wang Xifeng into the fire pit, is probably also a person who is not particular about loan sharking.

It is obvious that the target customers can be targeted at merchants in the capital, but ordinary people have been chosen.It is estimated that there were too many loan sharks and Mrs. Wang did not have the patience to wait for her subordinates to start their business.

The reason why he told Wang Xifeng that Mrs. Wang instigated Zhou Rui to loan loan sharks was to tell Wang Xifeng that Mrs. Wang must be interested in the money in his hands.

That’s more than 1000 taels of silver every year, maybe even more!

After successfully obtaining the slave deed from his blood relative, Zhao Guoji went to the Yamen to handle the household registration procedures, so Jia Huan did not need to come forward.

By the way, Jia Huan is in the Yamen now, and he also has a partner he just met.

That is the other proprietor of the Sihai Gambling House, the commander of the West City of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!
Maybe, this commander is just a representative of the Xicheng Military and Horse Division. No matter what, he has a cooperative relationship with Jia Huan, so it's easy to ask him for a little help.

If the partner changes, the other party will naturally want to meet him.

The Commander-in-Chief of the West City of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was very enthusiastic when he saw Jia Lian, and was not unhappy at all about being forced into a partnership, as if Jia Lian was his best friend.

Even when Jia Lian came to meet him, he brought a child to see the world, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort and his attitude was extremely good.

Jia Lian is a standard social person. When he saw the other party's enthusiastic attitude, he immediately relieved his worries, and then the guests and the host had fun eating, drinking, and having fun.

As for Raiji, who was still in the dark and had lost his right to receive dividends, he was simply ignored.

"Second brother Lian, you should be relieved now!" After sending the person away, Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I have already said that others outside the house recognize the Jia family, not the so-called Chief Manager of the Ning Mansion!"

"Have I never experienced anything like this?"

Jia Lian smiled happily and said happily: "When I went out on business in the past, the guys I met were not so enthusiastic!"

After hearing this, Jia Huan rolled his eyes in anger.

Although he didn't know what happened when Jia Lian went out to do business before, he also knew that most of them were matters within the government's industry.

Outsiders don't know the internal situation of Rongfu, but as the industrial manager of Rongfu, how can he not know?
In addition, Jia Lian has an exaggerated temperament, and it is obvious at a glance that he is not capable of getting things done. How can he get good feedback when dealing with things?
How could those managers on the front lines of the industry not be able to tell if they have real abilities?

Jia Lian probably focused most of his thoughts on making money. Wanting to be recognized by the managers below was simply wishful thinking. It would be nice not to be fooled.

Cooperation with the West City Commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is another matter.

Jia Lian's identity is still very bluffing.

At this time, Ningrong's Second Mansion had not completely fallen out of the circle of first-class dignitaries.

Otherwise, in the original work of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing’s funeral would not have been so grand.

So what if she is the former prince's concubine?

A princess who has not entered the royal jade butterfly is not a serious royal princess!
Even if a real royal princess dies, the funeral will not be so grand.

It can only be said that the power of Ning Rong's second house at that time was still not weak.

By the time Jia Jing passed away, the standard and grandeur of the funeral had declined drastically.

Maybe it was because Jia Zhen didn't take it seriously, but couldn't it be the reason for the serious decline of Ning Rong's second house?

Let's talk about Jia Lian. His famous post was even able to persuade the Chang'an Jiedushi to help handle the lawsuit during Qin Keqing's funeral. How powerful is it?
Although the four major families in Jinling are no longer in their heyday, Wang Ziteng has been promoted to the post of governor of nine provinces at this time. He is one of the top brass in the military and has considerable energy.

In addition, the Jia family is also a member of the Eight Founding Fathers, the core of the noble lineage, and their momentum and influence are really no joke.

For many things, if Jia Lian can come forward, it will be more convenient than the Xicheng commander.

As for Lai Er, the chief steward of the Ning Mansion, he is just a fake person.

When others give him face, he is the number one person.

But if others don't give him face, the commander of Xicheng alone can make him look good.

It can only be said that Jia Lian was neglected and suppressed so much that he rarely interacted with official officials.

If he dealt with it more often, he would definitely be surprised to find out.

Even if you are not in the officialdom, you can do many things due to your status, and others have to give you face.

It is pitiful to say that in The Story of the Red Chamber, Jia Lian has few good friends.

On the other hand, when Jia Baoyu appears, he can chat happily with young masters like Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.

Analyze carefully.You can notice how different the training of Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu in Rong Mansion is. In short, it is extremely abnormal...
