The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 149 English Country Love Story 11
It cost [-] pounds to buy the manor, and the remaining [-] pounds, Mr. Bennet left half as a family savings, and the other half as a dowry for his daughters.

Fifteen thousand pounds was divided equally between the five daughters, three thousand pounds each, plus the one thousand pounds he originally prepared for each daughter's dowry, adding up, the dowry of his daughters increased to four thousand pounds each.

This is not much.

It's not as good as those ladies who are particularly rich, but in their class, they can be regarded as upper-middle level.

Well, although Catherine said that she will never get married in this life, she still has to give her the dowry money.

She is his daughter, and he will treat all daughters equally.

Although he knew that Catherine would not care about the four thousand pounds.

This trip to sea, Catherine must have earned more.

Well, I also want to make more money, and strive to earn more dowry money for my daughters.

In the past, he had no sons, and the ancestral property would be inherited by the sons of relatives who did not deal with him, so he gave up working hard to make money.

But now, my daughter is so upbeat and able to make money, how can I be a father?

I heard from Catherine that the steam engine is a good thing, so why not invest the fifteen thousand pounds in industries related to the steam engine?
Even if you lose, don't you still have two manors?
The income from the Bennet estate was enough for the family, and much more.

The income of the New Manor will only be more, and the money should be kept as a dowry for the daughters.

Mr. Bennet made plans and announced to Mrs. Bennet and the ladies his purchase of the estate.

The ladies all cheered after the surprise.

Only Elizabeth and Jane were a little worried.

The two often help Mr. Bennet handle the accounts of the manor and know the income of the manor for a year.

How can my family have the money to buy a manor?
Mr. Bennet: "Don't worry, this is the money I earned from investing."

"I know a businessman who went to sea. He spent money to buy some goods, entrusted him to transport them to the far east for sale, and then bought goods from the East and sold them back. This round trip made ten times the price difference."

"So, we have a manor that is not ancestral property. In the future, your mother will no longer have to worry about being driven out of Bennet Manor by the heirs."

Elizabeth and Jane smiled reassuringly upon hearing this.

Elizabeth: "Dad, where is the estate located?"

Mr. Bennet: "It's located in the north of Derbyshire. In summer, our family can go there to cool off."

"Great!" Lydia exclaimed.

The Bennet family is discussing going to New Grange, while Jia Huan met several real power managers in the navy under the connection of General Howell.

Jia Huan's appearance now is exactly that of a teenager, so these people have no doubts about Jia Huan's gender at all.

Jia Huan has a lot of capital in his hands: he has a lot of money, and he said that he will "support" part of the navy's military expenditure.What's more important is that he has hundreds close to thousands of people under him.

With so many people, it was a breeze to do what he wanted to do.

The navy is afraid of this power, and wants it to belong to them.

Therefore, accepting Jia Huan to join the navy became a matter of course.

Jia Huan entered the navy and won a high rank.

Major!

There are people with money, and the top executives in the navy want to win him over, so they naturally gave him a not-so-low position.

It wasn't that someone was unconvinced and wanted to trouble Jia Huan.

The pirates under Jia Huan raised their weapons and aimed at those people together, and they were all scared.

Can't be bothered!Can't be bothered!
After becoming an admiral of the navy, Jia Huan did not stay on land all year round like other officers, and took part in various balls in the upper class by virtue of his own status.

Jia Huan prefers to stay at sea and take his men to swim freely in the sea.

Jia Huan led his men to raid many pirate lairs, making his men even stronger.

He remembered a lot of information about the sunken ships and knew the approximate location of these sunken ships.

Jia Huan took his hands down to salvage the sunken ship, one by one.

They fished out a lot of shipwreck treasure.

Jia Huan kept half for himself, and distributed the remaining half to his subordinates.

The subordinates were very happy and sighed that they followed the right leader.

The money in their hands now is enough for them to buy a good property after they go ashore, and live a prosperous life.

In a word, follow Jia Huan and have meat to eat.

This made a group of men follow Jia Huan wholeheartedly.

It was at this time that Jia Huan's identity as a woman was exposed, and these subordinates would not betray Jia Huan, and would continue to choose to follow Jia Huan.

Only Jia Huan can bring them such huge benefits.

During this period, there will naturally be naval battles with the navies of other countries.

Jia Huan won every battle.

Relying on the merits of these battles, Jia Huan was promoted again and became a lieutenant colonel.

When the story of Pride and Prejudice officially begins, Jia Huan is already a colonel.

He gave a group of his subordinates a vacation, and the subordinates happily returned to the land with the large sums of money they had exchanged for the treasures of the shipwreck over the years, spending money and enjoying them lavishly.

Jia Huan returned to Longborn to watch the plot.

Even if he wanted to wear women's clothes, he endured it.

He was genuinely curious about Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley.

After all, he is his destined brother-in-law, and he must know whether the two people are worthy of respect as described in the novel.

After all, it is about the happiness of the two sisters.

Mrs. Bennet was very happy about the return of her fourth daughter, and she took her to show off everywhere, but Jia Huan refused.

She really didn't want to be surrounded by people.

Most of the time, Jia Huan spends his time reading in his room.

Her room is located on the second floor, and the window faces the door, so she can clearly see the people coming in and out.

"Dear Mr. Bennet, have you heard? Netherfield Manor is finally let out."

Mrs. Bennet's loud voice came from downstairs.

Her voice was so penetrating that even walls and doors could not block her voice.

"I heard that it was rented by a young guy from the north of England. He is still single, a rich bachelor!" Speaking of this, Mrs. Bennet became even more excited, "My dear, a rich bachelor who earns four or five dollars a year." An income of a thousand pounds. What a blessing to my daughters!"

"What about my daughter?"

"My dear master, don't you think this is a good husband candidate? It would be great if he could marry our daughter."

"I don't think so, my daughters don't have to worry about getting married. Just because of the dowry I prepare for my daughters, they are the most popular girls in the marriage market."

The steam engine business he invested in earned him a lot of money, plus the income from the new estate, now his daughters have a dowry of [-] pounds each.
