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

Chapter 154 It's time to build the Grand View Garden

"I'm going out of Beijing in two days, and I'll leave the intelligence to you."

Feng Ziying told Jia Huan: "Once every three days, give it to Liu Xianglian."

Jia Huan was surprised: "Has Liu Xianglian become the emperor's confidant?"

Feng Ziying: "He is loyal and powerful, the emperor decided to train him."

Jia Huan: "It's really good."

After a pause, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Feng Ziying: "Jiangnan, go shopping."

"Buying?" Jia Huan blinked, "Has the emperor adopted that method?"

Feng Ziying: "When the emperor sealed off the harem, he had already made a decision."

Jia Huan tut-tsk: "This time, we can take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Feng Ziying: "Thank you for choosing this idea."

The so-called method is that the emperor asked the concubines to visit their relatives, and asked the concubines' natal families to build a provincial court, so as to judge the financial resources of these concubines' natal families, and then find a way to deal with these concubines' natal families.

This method was proposed by Kong Weixuan.

And Jia Huan added another idea after that.

Before announcing the establishment of the Provincial Courtyard, the emperor sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase cheap wood and stone, as well as various antique calligraphy and paintings, and opened a shop in the capital to sell these things.

After the emperor announced that the concubines were visiting relatives, the concubines' natal families would definitely purchase wood, stone and decorations frantically to build gardens, and the goods they hoarded could be sold at high prices.

Absolutely made a fortune at that time.

As soon as this idea came out, the emperor was tempted, and the emperor's confidants who knew the idea were also tempted.

The emperor pulled several confidants to work together, the emperor took the lead, and the other confidants shared the soup.

Jia Huan, as the person who came up with ideas, naturally became one of the people who drink soup.

Of course, he has to pay the cost.

As one of them, Feng Ziying had prepared [-] taels of bank notes, plus the bank notes given to him by the emperor and others.

He has a total of one million taels of silver notes on him, if he is robbed...

Jia Huan put away the picture in his mind, picked up the teacup with a smile, and raised it to Feng Ziying.

"Tea instead of wine, I wish you a smooth journey and all the best."

"Thank you."

Feng Ziying left, and all the work of gathering information was handed over to Jia Huan.

Although this work is tedious, it is also interesting, and I can see a lot of gossip.

For example, an official's house is not peaceful, and his second daughter, in order to replace the eldest daughter as the prince's concubine, attacked the eldest daughter before the palace came to propose a marriage, so that the eldest daughter did not fall into the water and was rescued by her cousin at home, so she had to marry cousin.

The second daughter thought that the position of the crown prince would fall on her, but the palace turned around and proposed marriage to the second daughter's deadly rival.

The second daughter made herself sick because of this.

After the officials knew the truth, they married their second daughter to a widower to fill in the house, and sent her out of Beijing.

There is this gossip, that a certain dude who likes to visit brothels actually got Hualiu disease, and even infected his wife.

The wife couldn't bear it, put poison in the food, and dragged the scumbag husband to die together.

After the man's family knew the truth, they didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so they could only allow the woman's natal family to take their daughter back to her natal family.

In other words, what happened in the homes of these officials and nobles is quite interesting, no worse than the plots in TV dramas.

Perhaps, he can write these things into scripts in the future, and get them to be filmed in modern times, and the ratings will definitely not be low.

On the tenth day after Feng Ziying left, the emperor announced his intention to allow concubines to visit relatives.

The emperor hypocritically stated that because of his relationship, the concubines in the harem would not be able to see their relatives again when they entered the palace.For this reason, the emperor allowed his family members to enter the palace on the [-]th day of each month, please wait and see.And open the door of convenience, "In addition to the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, where you can stay and guard, you may wish to invite Luanyu from the inner court to enter his private residence, so that you can use your flesh and blood Love, the ultimate nature in the family relationship".

As soon as this imperial decree came out, many concubines' families were very excited and began to plan to build a relative's house.

These people don't care about family happiness, they care about the honor of concubines visiting relatives.

When the Rongguo Mansion heard the news, the first thing that came to mind was how much benefit Yuanchun's provincial relatives could bring to the Rongguo Mansion.

The masters of the Rongning Second Mansion immediately gathered together to discuss the establishment of the relatives' hospital.

Jia Mu: "It is an honor for a noble concubine to visit relatives, and a separate courtyard for visiting relatives must be built."

Mrs. Wang nodded agreeingly: "It must be built."

This is a rare unity of opinion between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Others also agreed with this idea very much, only Jia Lian felt that something was wrong, but seeing that the elders agreed, it was hard for him as a junior to say anything.

Obviously the emperor is a very frugal person!
Everyone began to discuss how to build the garden.

Jia Zhen generously allocated part of her own garden to Jia Yuanchun to build a garden.

Wang Xifeng reported the balance of the public account of the mansion and sighed.How to build a garden with this little money?
Mrs. Wang frowned. If Lin Ruhai had died and they had seized the Lin family's millions of wealth, they wouldn't have had to worry about building a garden without money.

Mother Jia sighed, she didn't expect Rongguo Mansion to be in such a downturn.

However, a garden must be made.

Jia Mu: "I'll take out one hundred thousand taels of silver from the private treasury, and each of you will also come out of your own. Let's make it together."

Jia Amnesty cried poorly: "The big house has no money."

Mother Jia was so angry that she wanted to hit Jia Amnesty with a teacup.

Before Jia Mu's mother-in-law died, she gave all her private house to Jia Amnesty, how could he have no money.

Jia's mother: "Old family, it is the honor of the whole family for the mother to visit relatives."

Jia She pouted, how much is this honor worth?

I didn't see how much benefit Jia Yuanchun brought to the family as a noble concubine, but more money was sent to the palace.

But Jia Amnesty also knew that it was impossible for him not to pay.

Jia Amnesty: "I'm just an uncle, not my mother's father. Fifty thousand taels is enough. Let my mother's father pay more for the rest. Oh, and my mother's mother, but because of the lack of white jade in the East China Sea bed, the Dragon King came to invite King Jinling's royal family, but there is no shortage of money. For his own daughter, shouldn't he pay more?"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost gnawed her back molars, she really wanted to rush forward and tear Jia Amnesty's mouth open.

But she can't.

Mrs. Wang sat beside Jia She with a sullen face.

It was impossible for her to dig out her private treasury, and even if she did, she would have to get it back from other places.

Jia Zheng was also very angry at Jia She's words, but he couldn't respond: "Our house also pays one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "The Ningguo Mansion pays [-] taels."

He is out of the land, he has already paid enough, and he can't take any more.

Even the Jia family is divided into two houses!
