Heaven's Martial Fate

"Well done, you all performed well!"

Half a year later, Jia Min, head of the Ningfu Women's School, received Xue Baochai, who was in charge of supervising the construction of the Rongfu Provincial Family Hospital, in the women's school office.

Xue Baochai and his party submitted a summary report on the completion of the supervision task to the mountain chief Jia Min, which was affirmed and appreciated by Jia Min.

At this time, almost seven months have passed since Xue Baochai and his group of female students accepted the task of supervising the construction of Rongfu provincial relatives' hospital.

That's right, after seven months of non-stop construction, Rongfu Provincial Courtyard has been completed, and the next interior decoration is not their business.

The speed is not fast if you say it is fast, and it is not slow if you say it is slow.

In the story of the Red Mansion, the Jia clan in the capital invested more than one million taels of silver to build the Grand View Garden in one year.

Xue Baochai presided over the construction project, only the craftsmen of Xue's family were busy.

"this is necessary!"

Xue Baochai pursed her lips and chuckled, and said with high spirits: "Since the government trusts the students, naturally it won't disappoint you all!"

"Take a good rest, there are more important tasks after that!"

Jia Min said with a smile: "I hope you can continue to perform well!"

Are there more important tasks?

Xue Baochai's eyes lit up, her heart was beating wildly, and there was a rush of enthusiasm.

In fact, regarding the fact that she was in charge this time, presiding over the construction of Rongfu provincial relatives' hospital, she had private communication with her second uncle.

Uncle Xue told her that according to the request of General Jia of the Ning Mansion, the Xue family had already found a small island as a foothold in Koryo.

Although it feels unbelievable, Second Uncle Xue guessed that General Jia of the Ning Mansion wanted to reuse Xue Baochai, maybe it was related to the development of that island?
As for whether this is the case, it is hard to say.

After all, Xue Baochai is a woman, and she has reached the age of marriage, so she is subject to too many constraints and restrictions.

Xue Baochai kept it firmly in her heart, and secretly made a decision: If Jia Rong of Ningfu really trusted her, she would definitely do well.

Who says women are inferior to men?
She feels that she is better than most men in terms of knowledge and ability, so why is she subject to many restrictions and cannot display her talents even if she has the opportunity?

Now, hearing the hint from the mountain chief Jia Min, how could there be no waves in his heart?
Make a decision immediately, and contact your second uncle more when you go back to learn about the island situation on the Koryo side.

Women's School has taught a truth, that is, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and she quite agrees with this.

"In the Rong Mansion, have you explained everything clearly?"

Jia Min changed the subject, did not continue the topic just now, and asked, "Does the old lady know?"

"It's all handed over, and it was handed over at Rongqing Hall!"

With a trace of regret in his heart, Xue Baochai still replied seriously: "Everything, including the confirmed official documents from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have been handed over!" '

"Seeing the specific construction cost, what was the old lady's reaction?"

Jia Min nodded in satisfaction, and asked curiously, "It's just that I didn't expect that the cost of building the provincial hospital was just over [-] yuan?"

She was really surprised in her heart, and she wasn't lying.

Although she has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Lin Mansion for many years, she is not very clear about the specific garden construction matters.

In the past, it was handed over to the housekeeper of the Lin family, and she only paid the money.

It occurred to her there that Xue Baochai presided over the construction of the provincial house, and the cost was so low that she couldn't believe it.

In my heart, I was actually quite unhappy.

It was not aimed at Xue Baochai, but at the housekeeper and servants of the Lin family.

Obviously, through Xue Baochai's operation this time, she understood that Steward Lin and his servants had made a lot of money in some previous projects.

It's still a so-called scholarly family with strict rules, and the family has a variety of methods to make children, and it's not polite at all to make money.

Later, she decided that some of the projects in the mansion would be in charge of her daughter Lin Daiyu, who participated in the supervision of the construction of the provincial hospital.

Jia Min didn't expect that some numeracy-related knowledge taught in the women's school would have such an effect when used in the construction of the provincial hospital.

Before, I felt that Jia Rong stuffed some inexplicable knowledge into the female school's hamster, and sometimes even asked the female school to organize special courses.

It feels cumbersome and unnecessary, such as what kind of cost planning, what kind of checklist, etc., now I know it well.

Now I know that although the preparation in the early stage is a bit cumbersome and requires the collection of a lot of information from various aspects, as long as the preparation is done properly, the real effect on cost reduction is obvious.

But Jia Min knew that in order to avoid trouble, or gossip from the Jia clan, Xue Baochai had even done a lot of trivial work, and the expenses in it were definitely far beyond the standard.

But that's the case, the construction cost of the entire provincial hospital was just over 8 taels, not to mention others, Jia Min herself was taken aback.

Previously, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to check and accept, and Jia Min also went to take a look at it. The Provincial House is absolutely beautiful, without any discount.

How did Mr. Shan Ziye plan, and how Xue Baochai supervised the construction.

"The old lady is very surprised!"

Speaking of this, Xue Baochai unconsciously showed a funny look on his face, but the scene at that time was quite funny.

When the old lady saw the list of construction expenses, the surprise on her face was undisguised, and she was obviously quite shocked.

Mrs. Wang is also in the same situation, but her eyes are a little dim, and she doesn't know what is going on in her heart?
You know, when it was planned to build the Provincial Hospital, the Rong Mansion was so noisy that almost the whole capital knew about it.

When it comes to raising funds for construction, it's like a lion opening its mouth.

Ning Mansion, Dafang and Lin's family each gave 10 taels, which was not enough, and they made up all kinds of gossip in private.

The Xue family even took out 20 taels of silver in one breath, and now the construction list that Xue Baochai came up with was a slap in the face.

Of course, since all the money has been given, no one will take it back.

However, in the future, if the empress in the palace has anything to explain, and it will cost a lot of money, basically there is no need to expect relatives to contribute.

Of course, Mrs. Wang also has reason to deal with possible gossip.

Before, the area of ​​the Provincial Hospital was more than ten times larger than it is now.

If the cost is calculated according to the construction area, it should be 80 taels, which is not much different from the initial estimated cost.

These words only fooled the common people outside. How could any powerful family not understand the loophole in Mrs. Wang's words?

As for the relatives of the Rong Mansion, they scoffed even more.

The area where the Qingqin Bieyuan was planned to be built before was all Fuchu Gardens.

Either the gardens on the Rong Mansion side or the Ning Mansion's gardens are basically filled with flowers and trees, so it shouldn't be too easy to clean them up.

Basically, they are all violent cleanups, and the secondary use is not considered at all.

As for the demolition of the courtyard on the Lixiangyuan side, all the materials that could be preserved were preserved intact. The degree of care and the money spent are naturally different.

In other words, there are quite a few gardens in the Rong Mansion, and the various flowers in them are not cheap, and some of them are even expensive and precious varieties outside.

For example, in the garden of the East Courtyard where Grand Master She lives, the flowers planted outside are very sought-after.

When Xue Baochai was building the Provincial Courtyard, he had already discussed with Mr. She, and transferred a lot of flowers from the garden of the East Courtyard.

Not only the flowers in the garden of the East Courtyard, but also the public gardens in the mansion, as well as the garden behind the Rongqing Hall have transplanted flowers into the Provincial Courtyard.

No matter how unscrupulous Mr. She is, he transplanted the flowers in the garden of the East Courtyard, and he didn't know how to collect money. Didn't he slap him in the face?
Both Mrs. Wang and the old lady behave like this, and the expenses here are basically negligible.

But in the story of the Red Chamber, the purchase of all kinds of flowers for the Grand View Garden costs at least ten thousand taels of silver.

There are some things that really shouldn't be studied too deeply, otherwise it will feel like Rong Mansion is like a big fool, letting all kinds of moths crazily poach the wall.

No matter how solid the family background is, it can't stand such a toss.

But fortunately, Xue Baochai completed the task perfectly in the construction of the relatives' house this time.

As for what the old lady and Mrs. Wang are thinking, it is not something that a young girl wants to care about.

After handing over everything, the little girl, whose practical experience has soared, returned to the women's school to continue her studies.

There have been several group activities, and they are not even interested in going out to socialize or making handkerchiefs.

It feels like they are no longer thinking in the same frequency band as those of their peers who still live in the backyard.

Apart from helping the family with some things, I don't know what to do, so I can only go back to the women's school and continue to improve myself.

Jia Min's feeling is very clear. After her daughter Lin Daiyu experienced the incident of supervising the construction of the provincial hospital, she has a little more capable temperament.

This made Jia Min very satisfied, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family should be like this.

I don't know what's going on, but even though Lin Daiyu has a cheerful personality, she always has a literati air that hurts the spring and the autumn.

It's not that this kind of breath is bad, it's just that Lin Daiyu looks like a weak willow supporting the wind, and with the breath of sorrow for spring and autumn, it gives people the feeling that her body is weak.

This is not a good impression!

Jia Min wanted to help Lin Daiyu adapt it, but she always felt that she couldn't do it.

In terms of studies, Lin Daiyu works very hard. It seems that she was born with the seeds of reading, and her enthusiasm for reading is quite positive.

Sometimes, if you study too hard, you can forget to eat, and you have to remind Jia Min.

Under the influence of Lin Daiyu, the eldest sister, her younger brother, Brother Yu, became a little more conscious and active in studying.

It is no exaggeration for Jia Min to say that although Lin Daiyu is not yet ready, her knowledge is definitely at the level of a master.

Whether it is planning the design of Jinmen Port, learning about the reconstruction of Zhuangzi later, or supervising the construction of the provincial relatives before, what Lin Daiyu has learned is not only in books, but also in practical operation ability.

It's just that I always feel that Lin Daiyu is not particularly concerned about the so-called mundane affairs.

This is also the main reason why she can only act as Xue Baochai's deputy, but not alone.

Even Jia Min, who is a mother, sometimes feels inexplicable, very helpless and doesn't know what to do.

But to say that Lin Daiyu has a negative attitude is not the case.

When making suggestions and providing various materials and information, Lin Daiyu's performance was amazing, like a humanoid library.

The whole women's school, even the most brilliant Xue Baochai, is quite inferior in this respect.

It's not that Jia Min is eager to win, but he has an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Brother Rong of Ningfu seems to be playing a big game of chess.

Just because he values ​​the performance of female students, I believe he will make good use of the abilities of female students to achieve certain things.

Otherwise, in the social environment of Daqian, who would take great risks to entrust such important matters as the planning and design of Jinmen Port to a group of female students?
Who will be fine, how to improve the farmland water conservancy facilities to the female students?
Not to mention, he even took the liberty of handing over the concubine's relatives' hospital to the supervision of female students. If it's not good, it will be a big joke.

One pile after another, it's like exercising the abilities of female students.

Jia Min didn't know what was going on, but his heart was quite uneasy.

It doesn't mean there is any uneasiness, and with the style of Ningfu Rong'er, he will not do the kind of dirty work that pulls people into the water.

But for some reason, although I don't know the specific plan of Brother Rong, Jia Min is willing to cooperate, and the students who want to come to the female school think the same way.

For no other reason, Jia Min and the female students would not neglect Brother Rong's attention and trust.

In this era, the constraints on women are too strong and the requirements are too harsh.

To be immobile is moral oppression, and if there is a slight mistake, the more aggressive ones will directly kill them with ruthless hands.

It's like a pond in the countryside, and I don't know how many women are haunted by the unwilling ghosts.

Whenever he heard the news that the village clan used lynching to sink the woman into the pond, even with Jia Min's demeanor, he couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

She didn't know why Jia Rong valued female students, and even meant to entrust her with a heavy responsibility, but Jia Min was happy to see the success.

In fact, if possible, she did not want Lin Daiyu to be bound in the back house after she got married, surrounded by her husband and children all day long, fighting with her concubine.

As soon as he thinks of such a scene, and thinks of Lin Daiyu's innocent temperament, Jia Min feels a wave of panic in his heart.

No matter how you think about it, Lin Daiyu is not a virtuous wife in the traditional sense, and she is afraid that there will be a lot of conflicts.

The social atmosphere of Daqian is not as good as that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Lin Daiyu has the talent of a layman Yi'an, but she does not have her relaxed living environment.

Thinking about how elegant Layman Yi An lived, Lin Daiyu would definitely not be able to learn it.

It's better to use the hands of Brother Ningfu Rong to help him exercise and train and improve, at least he can increase his survivability.

Poor parents all over the world, Jia Min has already thought about the future for Lin Daiyu at this time, the more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes, and she feels that something is wrong...
