My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 200 Do you think you died quickly enough?

Seeing that Jia Zhen actually complained about Jia Yu for not giving them shares, Jia Yu was almost angry.

He didn't attack immediately, but looked at Jia Zhen with a playful expression.

It was also the first time for people in the Jia family to hear about this incident, and they all turned their attention to Jia Yu.

Seeing that her words had attracted everyone's attention, Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel proud, and continued: "Brother Yu, I know that the wool business you are going to do is a big deal.

There are tens of millions of taels of silver every year, but you would rather give these shares to irrelevant people than share the profits with your own family. What does this mean?

Can I think that you have any dissatisfaction with our Jia family? "

Everyone in the Jia family was dumbfounded when they heard what Jia Zhen said.

Jia She's eyes almost bulged out.

Tens of millions of taels of silver. If you can get your hands on this, you will probably become the richest man in Great Xia immediately, right?

If he had tens of millions of taels of silver, the little wife would buy as much as she wanted, and the courtesan in the brothel would buy as many as he wanted.

Wang Xifeng is no exception. Her triangular eyes are so bright that they can almost serve as light bulbs.

Thinking that she had worked hard to run the Rongguo Mansion all these years, racking her brains to get money, and even going so far as to make usury loans, she never thought that the best money-maker in the Jia Mansion turned out to be this good brother-in-law.

Jia Yu caught everyone's attention. He shook his head helplessly, stood up slowly and walked to Jia Zhen. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes became colder.

"Jia Zhen... I thought you were just stupid at first... Now I understand that you are not only stupid, but also very bad!"

"Snapped!"

Only a crisp sound was heard, and Jia Zhen, who was sitting on the chair, was knocked to the ground along with the chair.

Everyone was in an uproar when they saw Jia Yu knocking Jia Zhen to the ground at the slightest disagreement.

Jia She immediately stood up, pointed at Jia Yu and shouted, "Brother Yu, how dare you beat the leader of the Jia clan?"

"Don't fucking do this to me!"

Jia Yu will not tolerate this idiot.

Pointing at Jia She on the spot, he angrily rebuked: "Don't think that I won't dare to beat you, your uncle in Yuanchun? If you keep beeping like this with me, believe it or not, I will still beat you?"

Seeing Jia Yu's sharp gaze, Jia She shivered in fright and quickly sat back down.

This guy even dared to slap Jia Zhen, the clan leader, and it would probably not be difficult to slap his uncle twice.

After Jia Yu finished speaking, he lifted up Jia Zhen who was lying on the ground. Jia Zhen, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, was lifted up like a rag doll. He then slapped her again.

Jia Zhen was beaten around twice like a roly-poly, and finally sat down on the ground.

At this time, he was completely confused. Who am I? where am I? What am I doing?

Seeing Jia Yu beat Jia Zhen into a dead dog at the slightest disagreement, Mrs. Wang, Mr. Xing and others screamed in fright.

Daiyu, Baochai and other girls were also so scared that they closed their eyes.

On the contrary, Youshi's performance was beyond Jia Yu's expectations. She was so frightened that she screamed, then threw herself on Jia Zhen, looked at Jia Yu with tears in her eyes and cried: "Brother Yu, what do you want?" Just hit me, and don’t hit my master again.”

Seeing Jia Zhen being protected by You, Jia Yu, who originally wanted to add another kick, snorted, pointed at Jia Zhen and cursed: "For the sake of Sister-in-law You, let me spare you for now, otherwise If I hear you say such calamity words again, I will beat you to death."

To be honest, Jia Yu's reaction scared everyone.

No one expected that Jia Yu would suddenly become violent and beat Jia Zhen up after a disagreement. You must know that Jia Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia family.

Beating a clan leader is not a trivial matter in any era. In some remote villages where imperial power does not go to the countryside, the clan leader is the authority of all clan members. Not to mention beating the clan leader, even contradicting the clan leader is a big deal.

But this one was good, he beat him whenever he asked, without giving any face to the Jia family.

Although he was also very scared, Jia Zheng knew that if his father-in-law didn't speak up, things would be very difficult to solve today.

He bravely shouted: "Think twice, what's the matter with you?

Even though Brother Zhen said something wrong, he is also the head of Dongfu and the head of the Jia family. How can you hit someone if you disagree with him? "

Fortunately, although Jia Yu beat Jia Zhen, she still gave him face as his father-in-law.

Jia Yu snorted, pointed at Jia Zhen and said angrily: "Father-in-law, old lady, do you also think it's wrong for me to hit Jia Zhen?"

Mother Jia also looked a little angry: "Brother Yu, Brother Zhen, even though I shouldn't pry into your wool business, you can't hit people. If word gets out, how will you let outsiders see my Jia family and me?" The Jia family?"

Jia Yu said: "Old lady, do you think I am such a violent person who doesn't know the importance of things and gets violent and hurts others when I don't agree with you?

If I don't beat Jia Zhen today, it will bring disaster to the Jia family. "

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel angry: "According to what you said, we have to thank you for beating Brother Zhen."

"You should really thank me." Jia Yu said politely.

"you!"

Mother Jia was really angry this time, but before she could speak, Jia Yu continued: "Old lady, you also heard what Brother Zhen said just now.

He himself said that the wool business generates tens of millions of taels of silver every year. Do you think our Jia family can afford this money? "

Mother Jia snorted softly: "I'm not that old yet, and I know it's unrealistic for the Jia family to have tens of millions of taels of silver on their own, but getting hundreds of thousands of taels shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Haha...hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?" Jia Yu sneered, "Old lady, please tell me, in the huge Shenjing, including the four princes, eight princes, twelve marquises, and even the princes, whose mansion can have 100,000 taels of silver per year? Income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

Why do you think that the Jia family should get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, just because of their shamelessness or because Jia Zhen's face is big enough? "

After Jia Yu finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at Jia Zhen, who was sitting down again with Youshi's help, and found that after being slapped twice, her cheeks had indeed become a lot bigger.

I don't know who was the first to scream. Jia Zhen, who was so humiliated for the first time in her life, wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

He did not dare to look directly at Jia Yu, but glanced at Jia Yu secretly. Malice surged in his heart, and a thought immediately came to his mind.

"I swear I won't be a human unless I kill this guy!"

"This guy must die, otherwise there will be big trouble!"

Coincidentally, he was not the only one who had this idea.

Seeing that Jia Yu, a junior, didn't even give face to the old lady, everyone in the Jia family was surprised, angry, and admired. For a while, everyone had mixed emotions.

Or Yuan Chun was afraid that Jia's mother would not come to the stage, so he secretly pulled Jia Yu's arm.

Jia Yu turned her head and gave Yuan Chun a calming gesture.

Then she said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, in fact Jia Zhen just said that this is a business that can generate tens of millions of taels of silver every year.

But what he didn't say was that such a big business could no longer be sustained by any house. Otherwise, why don’t I do it myself and distribute the money to others?

To tell you the truth, 60% of this business will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 20% will be given to the civil servants headed by Mr. Wang Ge, and 20% will be ours.

And I divided the 20% of the noble income into 10,000 shares, each worth 100 taels of silver, and asked the Zhenguo Palace, Beijing Prince's Palace and other houses to subscribe.

Just now, you also saw that Shui Rong, Niu Jizong, and Shi Guangzhu all had colors on their faces, right?

That's because the governments took action today when they couldn't reach an agreement when subscribing for shares. In the end, each government argued for a whole morning before finally determining the shares that each government could subscribe to. "

Jia Zheng couldn't help but exclaimed: "Think twice, are you saying that Shuirong, Niu Jizong and the others acted to snatch those elements?"

"Exactly."

Jia Yu nodded: "Those who want to buy wool can't buy it just by being thick-skinned.

After the wool was purchased from the mutual market in Xuanzhen, it was transported thousands of miles to the capital, and then went through a series of manufacturing processes such as cleaning and processing before it could support the sale of cloth and clothing.

There are so many links and checkpoints that need to be cleared in the middle, whether it is escorting manpower, weavers, dyeing, cleaning and selling, etc., it requires countless people to work together to complete it.

Now the question is, how can our Jia family help in these aspects?

If you can't help, why should people give you their free money? "

Jia Yu's words made everyone speechless, including Jia's mother.

At the same time, Jia Yu's words also deeply hurt everyone's hearts.

It was at this time that they realized that the once glorious Ning and Rong mansions had indeed declined, and they were no longer even qualified to participate in sharing the cake.

As the person in charge of the financial power of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng's love for money made her couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yu, can you tell me how many shares you want."

Jia Yu stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand shares."

"Two thousand shares." Wang Xifeng silently calculated and exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean we have to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"unnecessary."

Jia Yu shook her head: "I only promised to pay ten thousand taels."

"Ten thousand taels?" Wang Xifeng said in disbelief: "Can Shui Rong, Lord Niu and others agree?"

"They have to agree even if they don't agree." Jia Yu said calmly: "Otherwise, I don't mind selling these elements to others."

Wang Xifeng: “…………”

Tan Chun and Yuan Chun looked at Jia Yu standing proudly, with a look of intoxication in their eyes. This was their husband, the man who could support them.

After everyone did the math, they found that with just these two thousand shares, Jia Yu and his uncle Dingyuan's mansion could earn two hundred thousand taels of silver every year. Even if they were discounted in half, they would not be able to get away with one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, everyone gasped.

What kind of wool business is this? This is simply a mountain of gold, and it can be passed down from generation to generation as long as the descendants of the future generations do not commit suicide.

Looking at the two mansions of Ning and Rong, they only rely on renting a farm outside the city and a few limited shops to survive every year. Life is tight for the huge Jia mansion, but their annual expenses are constantly increasing.

As the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng wonders where to get today's money every day when she wakes up. The heavy pressure almost drives her crazy.

Seeing that Jia Yu actually found such a golden mountain, her eyes almost turned red, and she couldn't help but said: "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in making money.

Can you teach your sister-in-law how to get money? These days, I am almost driven crazy by people coming to ask for money every day. "

Seeing Wang Xifeng's unabashed expression about money, Jia Yu couldn't help but laugh. He thought for a while and then shook his head.

“Sister-in-law, it’s not that I didn’t tell you.

But the current Rongguo Mansion is already in a state of trouble that cannot be cured without strong medicine, but I'm afraid that if I say it out, it will immediately attract a lot of scolding.

Since I know you can't do it, why should I say it? "

When Jia Mu heard this, she didn't care about anything else and asked quickly: "Brother Yu, you are trying to kill me...speak quickly!"

"Really?"

"Nonsense...hurry up!"

Seeing that Jia Mu was really anxious, Jia Yu took a deep breath and then asked: "Old lady, I want to ask you something now. Do you know how many people there are in Ning Rong's second mansion now?"

"How many...how many people?"

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't answer for a moment and turned to look at Wang Xifeng.

"Girl Feng...how many people are there in our house?"

Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said: "Although our house has a small population now, there are only three to four hundred houses from top to bottom. The situation in the East House must be similar, so the two houses combined should have about eight hundred houses."

Please note that in ancient times, only young men with actual jobs and wages could be called "Ding". Women, the elderly, and children were not counted.

Jia Yu continued: "According to what Sister-in-law Lian said, there are 800 people in the two mansions. If you include the old, weak, women and children, there will be at least 1,500 people. This number shouldn't be much, right?"

Wang Xifeng nodded. In fact, what Jia Yu said was less. The real number of people was only a lot more than what Jia Yu said.

Jia Yu continued: "These people are all raised by the Jia Mansion, and more than a thousand people have to take care of their food, drink, diarrhea, weddings and funerals, birth, old age, illness and death.

Just to support these people, the Jia family would have to spend at least two to thirty thousand taels of silver every year.

This does not include the expenses of the masters in Jia's house.

So how many masters do we have in the Jia family? "

Jia Yu's sharp eyes scanned the faces of everyone in the Jia family and said slowly.

"There are only about ten or less than twenty people."

He ignored everyone's ugly expressions and a hint of sneer flashed across his lips: "Eight or nine hundred servants, wives, and maids serve less than twenty masters.

Let’s talk about the expenses of these masters. The masters of Jia’s house ate crabs and had to wash their hands with mung beans smoked with chrysanthemum leaves, osmanthus stamens;

Even the floor tiles are green, and even the girls in Jia's house have broken many agate bowls and glass jars;

When you eat an eggplant dish, it requires about ten chickens to make it into a dish; the dim sum in Jia's house must be made into the most exquisite patterns...

Even if you have money and money, you can't live like this.

And Baoyu... I have heard people say more than once that he was born with jade in his mouth and was destined to be rich and noble.

I just want to ask, what do you want to do?

Do you think you didn't die quickly enough? "
