Chapter 27 What Makes Money
The four daughters of the Jia family, Yuan, welcome, visit, and cherish.
Yuanchun is still in the palace. Yingchun is cowardly, Tanchun is strong and smart, but Xichun is young and has often expressed his meaning as a monk.
In this regard, what Lin Dong admires most is Tanchun, who is capable, skilled, and has a very popular personality. In the Jia family, there are also cheating goods such as Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, Tanchun has always been at a disadvantage. He even has to draw a clear line with Aunt Zhao in exchange for purity.
Recently, many things have happened in the Jia family, especially the things Jia Baoyu did outside have become a laughing stock. Recently, after the Jia family has been closed, Aunt Zhao has begun to become alive in the inner house.
When Lin Daiyu first started to enter the Jia Mansion, she looked carefully at her mouth and rinsed out the water when she was drinking tea after dinner. In fact, there was an allusion in this matter, and the allusion came from "New Words on the World".
Wang Dunchu was still in charge. When he went to the toilet, he saw dried dates in the lacquer box, which was originally used to block his nose. The king said that the fruits were also lowered on the toilet. When the food was over, he returned. The maid held a golden bath plate to hold water and a glass bowl to hold bath beans. He poured chopsticks into the water and drank it, which was said to be dry rice. All the maids covered their mouths and laughed at them.
This is when a man married a princess. The princess used dried dates to stuff her nose when she went to the toilet, used a golden basin to take a bath water, and used a glass bowl to take a bath bean. Wang Dun didn't understand, so he ate it, and the maids all laughed at him.
If Lin Daiyu swallowed the water at that time, the maids would also laugh at Daiyu.
This is a wealthy family. Usually slaves always joke in private, and Jia Baoyu's actions can be said to be a joke that has been contracted by the Jia family for a year. Jia Mu naturally cannot tolerate Baoyu being laughed at casually, so this matter is a ban on the inside. Whoever dares to talk about it will tear up someone's mouth.
In this Rongguo Mansion, there are also lynchings, and there are great identities between slaves and masters.
And the ban order issued by Jia Mu is definitely not a casual statement.
Aunt Zhao had almost no scruples and just spread her virginity in the mansion. When talking about this, she was vivid and her behavior was exaggerated, which was as if Jia Baoyu was about to fall and Jia Huan was full.
Tanchun happened to see this scene and hurriedly stopped him, just to avoid Aunt Zhao causing trouble again. However, she didn't expect Aunt Zhao was a mess and thought that an egg accident would have caused Jia Baoyu to fall down and speak unscrupulously. After all, as soon as Jia Huan came to power, half of the Rongguo Mansion belonged to her, so she swears and does everything, and even complains about Tanchun. After all, she quarreled in the mouth of Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang has always had a character of being "kind and kind-hearted" and did not punish and beat her. She easily arranged for Aunt Zhao to kneel down, repent and review. Although this behavior was "kind and kind-hearted" and "benevolent outside the law", it was enough for Aunt Zhao to drink a pot.
Seeing this, Tanchun knew that he was following Aunt Zhao's back, and there was also sarcasm. Seeing Mrs. Wang by her side, she called out to her mother and said she wanted to go to Baoyu's room to check it out before she got out.
Jia Baoyu's room.
Jia Lian brought two painters to the room and discussed the composition of the Grand View Garden.
Jia Baoyu sat barely on the bed. Recently, he had been recuperating on the sickbed. He was full of energy. It was because of the pain behind him. However, Xiren applied medicine day and night, which was no longer a problem.
"This is a rockery, this is a small bridge, you should walk like this... the wood should be the best."
Jia Baoyu retelled the construction of the Grand View Garden one by one. Jia Lian was originally playing with the mentality. At this time, he saw that Baoyu retelled the serious matter. Under the writings of the two painters, the Grand View Garden gradually became lifelike, which ultimately made Jia Lian lose his contempt and carefully watched the construction of the Grand View Garden.
"Brother Bao, what do you think of this manor?"
Looking at the successful outline of the large manor, Jia Lian was full of unbelievable.
If you want to conceive this kind of manor, even if you are a person who specializes in this kind of garden design, you have to worry about constructing it and properly arrange the internal space to build it so that you can see the scenery everywhere. Such a manor is really not something that a playboy like Jia Baoyu who makes money by taking out chrysanthemums can design.
“…I dreamed too.”
Jia Baoyu leaned against the head of the bed and said.
"Brother Bao, I misunderstood you before."
Jia Lian said seriously: "You wanted to build this manor before, and I just thought you were just playing. Now it seems that this manor must be your hard work... In the future, as long as the money is provided, I will never be greedy for you!"
“…”
Jia Baoyu's body was shocked and his expression was complicated. You are greedy for the money for selling chrysanthemums. You are still human, not human!
This thought made Jia Baoyu feel a little painful. After thinking about Jia Lian's character, he felt that it was normal for him to be greedy for gold and silver, but there should not be much left and right, and it would not affect the construction of the Grand View Garden.
"Brother Lian."
Jia Baoyu leaned against the head of the bed and said, "I'm not a long-term solution after all. Tell me which aspect is the most profitable, it can be regarded as a clear path."
Everyone around was ordered to go out, but Xiren stood there and brought tea and water.
Upon hearing this, Jia Lian sat on the head of Jia Baoyu's bed and said, "Brother Bao, if you say that this is the most profitable one, it is to be an official. Why do people keep climbing to this officialdom? It is because we make too much money in this officialdom. If we don't talk about those who are blatantly buying and selling official positions, we just say that after becoming an official, we can peel off a layer of skin for a little thing. Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, 100,000 snowflakes. If we take care of taxes and salt, then there will be countless profits..."
"ah!"
Jia Baoyu said in surprise. He remembered Lin Daimei's father, who was the Yanyan Censor in Yangzhou, and was also a business that made money.
"If it weren't for these salts, taxes, and the Ministry of Revenue would also make money..."
Jia Lian talked to Baoyu about the current social situation. If a person becomes a high-ranking official, the family can rely on their power and then plunder in all aspects. Compared with the way others make money, Jia Baoyu only feels that he is low.
"What's hateful is that now my father and your father are not real power. Those high-ranking officials with real power have given these businesses to their relatives. Although Ning Rong's mansion is big, there is no one in charge now. Our inner pocket is coming."
Jia Lian sighed.
"Our family has no one in charge, so we go to the person in charge."
Jia Baoyu frowned and said, "This kind of business should be able to be followed."
There are too many industries that can make money in the government. The wealthy families in Shenjing have some contacts with the officialdom.
"We can't find any business, even if we find it, we can't knock on the door."
Jia Lian knew a lot about Shiqing and said, "Businesses like this are taken care of by relatives, because the high-ranking officials in charge have to occupy the big heads in it, while the relatives have to occupy the small heads."
After Jia Baoyu was "reborn", he suffered losses one after another. At this time, his head started to work and regulated his experiences in his "previous life". His eyes lit up and he said, "We will just eat the small head and still give the big head to the high official. Even in this, we can provide him with more benefits..."
In his experience in "previous life", Jia Baoyu saw the ability to make money in business.
This is actually not a good skill. It is not much worse than the "lu worm" that Jia Baoyu hated most in his previous life. Zhen Baoyu heard that the officials, servants, relatives of officials, and slaves of officials were able to occupy the most in this industry.
Come forward to "contract" the project.
"The problem is that we can't contact others."
Jia Lian sighed.
"I can."
Baoyu said with certainty: "You said that I can contact any of the high officials in the capital. My relationship with King Beijing, Dukes, Jiedu, and the governors are all very good..."
Although Jia Baoyu has acted absurdly recently, he has unknowingly contacted a huge network of relationships.
Jia Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and grabbed Jia Baoyu's hand and said, "Brother, come forward to contact these people, grab the project, and get the property allocated by the court. This property will be enough for you first, and then we will come."
"The state has always allocated money, and it seems that it was paving the road outside the capital. The emperor asked for five taels of silver per mile, and it was always necessary to build a thousand miles. However, hiring farmers to fill the road, and one mile left and right is only 200 yuan. After the road is repaired, there will be subsequent maintenance... If this is eaten, the road near Shenjing will be enough for all the expenses of our family. It is extremely easy to build the Grand View Garden!"
This is a project that Jia Lian had long been jealous of. I usually hear people say that if you take up one of these paths, you can at least get tens of thousands of taels of silver here, and this is still a small matter.
"Brother Bao!"
Jia Lian became more and more excited as he spoke, holding Jia Baoyu's hand.
"Brother Lian!"
Jia Baoyu also held Jia Lian's hand, and the two looked at each other.
"We two brothers work together, this gold, silver and wealth... Bah! The Grand View Garden will definitely be built!"
Jia Lian said, Jia Baoyu also said that he was holding Jia Lian's hand.
"Brother Bao!"
Jia Lian said again: "I know you are recuperating recently, but there is one thing that I must share with you now. Jia Rui, the eldest grandson of Jia Dairu in your school... is really a wonderful person! When my brother has a good rest, I will take you to try it out!"
Jia Rui lost his life and became more feminine. He also intended to seduce Jia Lian. Jia Lian was originally not afraid of meat and vegetables, regardless of gender, and the two hit it off.
"I can't do it!"
Jia Baoyu waved his hand quickly and said, "Although Jia Rui is not good at doing things well, he has taught me to read and read. This person is like a teacher. How can this be done!"
Even if he is lawless, it is because of his spoiledness in the Jia family. However, when he grew up in the Jia family, Jia Baoyu still has the moral concept brought by the ethics.
"What's wrong with the teacher?"
At this time, Jia Lian was also proud. He only felt that he had cooperated with Baoyu, and the whole world was in control. He said, "I even slept with my old man's concubine. I still care about the bullshit teacher. According to what I said for my brother, the more immoral this is, the happier it is~"
After speaking, Jia Lian was winking.
But all this was heard by Tanchun.
