Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan looked at Jia Huan deeply, but said nothing grateful. After taking the card, he turned around and strode away.》

Jia Huan doesn’t think he is offended. What a dignified Wuzong!

How could Xiao En Xiao Hui be impressed?

Moreover, Wu Yuan had already swore in front of the Holy Madam, and Jia Huan was not willing to do these small actions of showing kindness.

It's just respect.

If Jia Huan doesn’t mind, it doesn’t mean Zhen Fu doesn’t mind.

What he minded was that Wu Yuan was a person from the Zhen Mansion, but he didn't understand the rules so much that he lost his face.

He snorted heavily, Zhen Wu said coldly: "The vulgar martial man who doesn't know how to be polite."

Jia Huan twitched the corner of his mouth, but said nothing, and laughed and slapped it, and spared this.

...

The winter in Jinling is very cold and wet.

Zhen Mansion is also located on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, with sufficient water vapor and naturally colder.

But the Zhen Mansion Flower Hall is as warm as spring.

There are warm walls around, and ground dragons are burnt below.

After walking outside, I saw colorful flowers and noble grasses, and the windows were made of glass. Through the shiny glass, you can see the snow scene on Zijin Mountain and the beautiful scenery of the fairy steamer on Xuanwu Lake.

Among the flowers, there is a pavilion, and there is a wide round table, which is filled with various delicacies.

Outside the railing outside the pavilion, there are two bamboo tables.

One is equipped with cups, chopsticks and wine utensils, and the other is equipped with tea stews and tea bowls on it.

There are two or three girls here who fan the flames and cook tea, while there are several other girls who fan the flames and cook wine.

The maid was wearing only a small dress, but she had no charm on her face. She did things carefully but added a bit of charm.

Zhen Wu brought Jia Huan into the pavilion and sat down separately.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother, we two brothers have cooked these dishes, where can we finish eating?"

Zhen Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "The third brother is really a elegant man. If there is no wonderful person to accompany you, I want to come and eat it. Haha, I have already expected it for me and prepared it in advance."

After saying that, he clapped his hands gently. Then he saw four graceful girls suddenly walked out of an ear room on the inside of the flower hall, most of whom were sixteen or seventeen years old.

He is extremely beautiful, but his expression only has a chuckle but no evil spirit.

The four of them came from the depths of the flowers, and passed the winding paths. When they came to the pavilion, they all bowed their bodies and said, "I have seen the uncle and the third master."

Unexpectedly, they even knew Jia Huan's identity.

Zhen Wu smiled very proudly and said, "The third brother was going to Yangzhou this time. I shouldn't have done this for my brother. But I either boast about myself or I am in Yangzhou. I have been in the area of ​​Yangzhou and have been spending thousands of painting boats in the West Lake. It is hard to find four beautiful ladies like this. The most authentic Yangzhou thin horses. Moreover, they are all from a lady of a noble family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and are named for the four seasons."

After saying this, he pointed to the four girls with a quiet smile in turn and said, "This girl is Wangchun, don't look at her quietness, but Wang Youjun's running script is strong and powerful, and the brushwork is strong. Many Jiangnan calligraphy masters have come to see each other several times, just for this girl's calligraphy. If it weren't for this reason, it would be impossible to send her to you for your brother..."

"This girl is Yuanqiu. Oh, it's even more amazing. She guesses what she is best at? It's actually the Four Books and Classics! Jiangnan is a cultural treasure land, and famous scholars have been released in all dynasties. But this girl can defend her with famous scholars for three days and never defeated her, and won countless scholars. To this day, I still don't know how many famous scholars ask for their visit every day. If that's not the case, cough cough, it's not impossible to send her to you for your brother..."

"These two girls are Youxia and Lidong respectively, and they are twin sisters. To be honest, I can't tell who they are Youxia and who is Youdong. Both of them are good at playing the piano. However, Lidong is also good at painting. Although they are not a big shot, they are also well-known in the painting world.

These two people are the ones who gave their third brother to their brother. Third brother, you must treat each other well and don’t let down your good wishes!”

Zhen Faou smiled and said warmly.

Jia Huan's mouth twitched, looked at the two identical girls standing in front of him, and said with a headache: "Brother, you are... too..."

Before Jia Huan could speak, Zhen Wu waved his hand and said, "You and my brother, don't be polite, otherwise wouldn't you be separated? Besides, if you don't accept the gift for your brother, wouldn't you look down on me?"

Jia Huan was speechless, blinked his eyes, and then smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank my elder brother for your kindness."

Zhen Wu said happily: "Hey! That's right! Come on, eat the dishes quickly, don't be cold. When you come to Jinling, you must try our famous Jinling dish, salted osmanthus duck. I, also known as the duck capital, is because of this famous salted duck."

Jia Huan: "..."

...

After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Zhen Fu became a little bit slutty and said to Jia Huan with a naked face: "Third brother, I really want to hide it from you. I have some things for you... and I have to talk to you...."

Jia Huan took the veil handed over by Lidong or Youxia, wiped the corner of his mouth, and then held a playful smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother, just give me instructions if you have something to do."

"Okay, happy!"

Zhen Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, he stroked his palm and shouted loudly, then suppressed his voice and said earnestly: "Third brother, you are not an outsider, and you don't hide some of the words for me... My Zhen family is famous in Jiangnan. It is said that my family is the first in Jiangnan, and the gold and silver in the family are like soil. But who can really know the hardships of my family?

Alas, in order to welcome the emperor's carriage, silver flowers flowed like sea water. But the emperor did not want to bear a luxurious reputation, so the silver could only be regarded as borrowed by my Zhen family from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Three or four million taels! How amazing?

Later, in order to repay the deficit, the Supreme Emperor specially ordered a special order to draw some of the Jiangnan Salt Administration and our Zhen family to repay the deficit of the national treasury.

It was nothing at all, it was pretty good, and I would pay it off after more than ten years.

But... But after your uncle came to Yangzhou, the salt tax he distributed to me to the Zhen family every year was getting lower and lower every year.

In the past two years, it has been reduced by more than half!"

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Since it is the grace of the Supreme Emperor, why is my uncle... Brother, if it is inappropriate, why don't you communicate well with him? Besides, if it is still inappropriate, you can also submit a memorial to the Supreme Emperor."

Zhen Feng yelled, poured a mouthful of peach blossom wine on his back, and then said hatefully: "It's not that I'm disrespectful, I'm talking about the strengths and weaknesses behind my back. Lin Ruhai is really a one-on-one... It's really his loyalty. I advised each other in every way. I continued my friendship, talked about the origin, and showed him the emperor's decree, but he still didn't get into it. There was no way to do it...

As for submitting a memorial to the Supreme Emperor? Haha. Only my ancestors and my uncle have this right. But my uncle has never cared about these common things and is unwilling to pay attention to them. As for my ancestors, they even ordered their family members to never send letters to Duzhong in her name, otherwise they would inevitably be expelled from the Zhen family. This kind of thing has happened before, who dares?"

Jia Huan was confused and said, "I wonder what can I do to help my eldest brother?"

Zhen said with a smile: "One of the things, of course I hope you can have a good talk with your uncle. It is reasonable and there is no reason to use my Zhen family as a raft. Although we don't want to argue with him, he can't go too far, right?

Second, haha, I’m really embarrassed to say that, just..."

Jia Huan bent his mouth and said, "Brother, even if you say so, as long as you can do it, you will definitely not refuse."

When Zhen Feng heard this, his face became even more happy and said, "It's really hard to say, but because of the family's financial difficulties, I don't know how much money I spent for Na Wuyuan... I know that my third brother has the skills of cultivating Zhu, so I specially asked my third brother for advice.

It is either a cement method or a glass recipe, or a secret medicine that Donglaishun... In short, I just want the help of my third brother. Of course, it is best to open a restaurant. After all, it is still a bit slower.

Third brother, it’s not that I am not greedy for my brother, but that I have also inquired about the sales area of ​​your goods, third brother, is roughly near Duzhong. I have not gone south.

So, Brother Wei shouldn't be a robbery of your business with third brother, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan nodded slowly and smiled, "It's not counting... However, my father has handed over the cement recipe to the court at the time. My small workshop was only produced in small quantities after the emperor's license. After all, this is related to military and national affairs and is not careless at all. The reason why I only sell a little around Shenjing and did not go out is because of this reason.

As for the glass prescription, I personally presented it to the Supreme Emperor. This prescription is already considered the Supreme Emperor, and I am not willing to give it to you privately. However, with the relationship between Zhen’s Mansion and the Supreme Emperor, I think it is natural that I only need to write a memorial with the Supreme Emperor, so it is not a problem.

There is no problem with Donglaishun’s secret recipe. Brother just asks someone to go and ask for it.”

When Zhen Feng heard this, his face became unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Didn't Brother Wei say it already? The ancestors have already had strict orders and are not allowed to submit memorials to the Supreme Emperor privately, otherwise they will be severely punished. Third brother, Brother Wei is not asking you for money, you... don't say anything else, if it's really a price sale, hum, if you lose 500,000 taels of silver, you won't even look at me."

Jia Huan laughed in silence and nodded and said, "Yes... let's do it, glass artifacts are still rare in the Qin Dynasty. For a long time in the future, they will be exclusively operated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will be carried out in the form of an auction. The sales of the city will be carried out by the Jiujun Wang. The goods will be shipped in Jinling soon. At that time, the Zhen family will be responsible for it. Brother, what do you think?

Cement can also be followed in this example, and there may not be much, but it will be left to the elder brother to handle it."

When Zhen Feng heard this, hesitated and said, "Is this... profitable?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother, the most economic way is nothing more than franchise and monopoly. I control technology and shipment, you are responsible for selling and taking a commission. It is not difficult to make a profit of 200,000 taels a year."

When Zhen Feng heard this, he did not have much joy. The greed could not be concealed in his lower eyes.

If he only takes a commission, he can make a profit of 200,000 taels in a year. If he is the one who controls the production and sale, then...

Isn’t there a million more a year?
