Chapter 99 Historians(1/2)
"San Master, Third Master, we are back!"
Li Wanji's voice came from outside the study room, and Jia Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. It was becoming increasingly rare for him to see Li Wanji as excited as he was.
"Come in."
After responding casually, Jia Huan continued to copy the copybook with his head down.
This is the homework left to him after Jia Zheng came to the village half a month ago and saw them and his son.
Thinking of Jia Zheng looking at Zhuangzi's current face, Jia Huan couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.
However, he couldn't laugh immediately.
Before Jia Zheng left, Jia Huan proposed to return the silver that everyone gave him when he left the mansion and the last time he returned to the mansion, because he no longer lacked silver.
But he didn't expect that Jia Zheng, who had been proud of his son for a day and a night, suddenly changed his color and asked him sternly, "Do you want to break yourself from the Jia family?"
Tsk! That anger...
In fact, Jia Huan just wanted to test it, but he didn't expect the old man to be so sensitive.
But then again, Jia Huan didn't really want to completely break off relations with the Jia family.
Not to mention that there are too many people in the Jia Mansion that he is reluctant to leave. Just talking about whether the business in his hands can last for a day after leaving the Jia Mansion and leaving the protection of the black cloud above Rongguo Mansion is a question mark.
Since Li Wanji and others spent ten days paving the road for the village of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion a month ago and received a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, Jia Huan can really describe it as a daily wage of gold in just over the past month.
Two engineering teams formed on the village, attacked everywhere, and then silver rolled in.
When Li Wanji came back with a Dalong silver note worth 1,000 taels of silver that day, Jia Huan was a little suspicious whether the silver note was forged.
However, since he went to the Duke of Zhenguo to visit Niu Jizong in person, he understood the reason.
Although Niu Jizong sent him out without saying a few words to him, he still explained to him that the thousand taels of silver were not for those paths, but to help him use martial arts, which was also a good start for his business.
Of course, all this is due to the late Duke Rong.
Otherwise, if only Jia Lao San wouldn't even have a clamp of his eyelids.
Moreover, if Jia Huan is not surnamed Jia, even if he can make cement, a family like the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion will at most send a team of servants to the door, throw a few taels of silver, and then get it back.
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has indeed made a good start.
The first-class uncle of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion personally offered a price of 1,000 taels of silver. Then, those after that, especially those of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, would have the courage to offer a price of less than this number?
As for the lower portal than the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, it is even less obvious.
If they are first-class uncles, they can't do anything to bully others by virtue. You are not as good as others. Can you do such a thing?
Besides, the Jia family’s village is not a big deal that can be bullied by cats and dogs at will, right?
Before you want to have a bad idea, you must always consider whether your own door can withstand the black cloud in the Jia family.
So, Li Wanji became happier day by day.
Because Jia Huan handed over the management of the two engineering teams to him.
Seeing that Li Wanji took back a large silver note every few days, he felt so comfortable.
"San Master, I'm back!"
Li Wanji's voice interrupted Jia Huan's thoughts. Jia Huan, who came to his senses, looked down at the ink dripping on the paper on the desktop. He threw down the brush in depressed manner, grabbed the paper and kneaded it into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket, then looked at Li Wanji and said, "Has the farmhouse on Baobinghou's mansion been laid out?"
After a moment of trouble, Li Wanji calmed down and said, "If you say "San Master, the shop will be finished."
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Did you accept their money?"
Li Wanji rarely saw Jia Huan frowning at him. When he saw him, he suddenly became a little panicked and quickly explained: "San Master, I told them that you have told me that our two families are close relatives of the family and do not charge cash. But the manager also said that their marquis personally ordered that it is because they are close relatives of the family that they cannot take advantage of you, the junior, with thick face. So..."
As he said that, Li Wanji took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "He gave two thousand taels?"
Li Wanji smiled bitterly and said, "No, the third master, it's two pieces of five hundred taels."
Jia Huan's face suddenly sank. After taking the silver note, he looked at it and sneered: "I really admire these people's style, hey!"
Even though Li Wanji has recently come into contact with many officials from high-ranking families and has also figured out the etiquette between some nobles, he still looked at Jia Huan in confusion at this moment.
Jia Huan threw two silver notes on the table and said a little disgusted: "Why do you think he gave two silver notes? They are crying for me to be poor. Moreover, he knew that for the sake of the old lady, I would never accept his money, but in the end he had to hand it over. But he insisted on giving you money, why?"
Li Wanji looked ashamed. If he hadn't known that Jia Huan was not happy to apologize, he would have knelt down and apologized at this moment.
After calming down his guilt, Li Wanji began to think. Suddenly, he suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "San Master, is he interested in our cement?"
"Are you surprised?"
Jia Huan sneered disdainfully and said, "I don't know how many people have come around the bush to find out the recipe for our cement boiling, but there are not many of them in the Shijia."
Li Wanji's face turned pale and said, "Third Master, this Shi family is extraordinary. They are two marquises in the family, and they are very prominent."
The historians now not only have Shi Nai who inherited the throne of Baobing Marquis, but also a tycoon who personally developed another marquis, the Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding.
Among the nobles in the court today, the historians should be the best-selling first-class family.
However, this is not the case.
The reason is very simple, the Shi brothers are in conflict.
If you want to inherit the title of relatives and nobles, you must follow the martial arts.
However, if you want to practice martial arts, root bones and other things are naturally the first priority, but there is one that is as important as root bones, or even more important, that is silver.
Jia Huan now spends thousands of taels of medicinal materials in a month, and in the next one and a half months, the monthly consumption will be 10% more than the previous month.
This is just a consumption of medicinal materials. In addition, he has now become a big bucket, but a meat bucket...
This silver goes in and spends faster, just like flowing water.
If it weren't for the brick kiln and cement support, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion would have opened a very high-priced start.
Jia Huan probably won't be able to support it even for half a year.
Jia Huan was so good at making money that he could barely support him, but the Shi brothers did not have the ability to make money.
Originally, a bowling marquis had already consumed almost the Shi family. If he stopped, the Shi family would be a first-class wealthy family in Longzheng Dynasty.
But the historians not only Shi Nai has the roots and bones of martial arts, but his younger brother Shi Ding has the roots and bones of him.
In addition, the previous generation of Shi's family members preferred the youngest son and ignored the fact that the family's fortune was almost exhausted by Shi Nai, so they forced Shi Nai to find a way, either sell their ancestral property at a low price or borrow money from colleagues, relatives and friends.
In short, the historian tried his best to finally create another Zhongjing Hou and Shi Ding.
However, with the help of Lao Tzu, Shi Ding exhausted the Shi family's connections and made Zhongjing Hou a successful Marquis, and the previous generation of Bowing Hou finally ended in peace, leaving Shi Nai, who inherited Bowing Hou, a stinky and bad stall.
What made Shi Nai hate the most was that the last generation of bowling marquis gave the last little fortune to Zhongjing marquis before his death.
So the biggest joke in this dynasty appeared.
The dignified Marquis' Mansion is a super high-quality and noble person, but the first-class maid of the Marquis' Mansion and the ladies of the Marquis' Mansion have made needlework and threading work to maintain the funny situation of life in the mansion...
If it weren't for the real difficulty, if there was a little room for the wife of the Shi family, they wouldn't let Shi Xiangyun do needlework without any slightest...
The Zhongjing Hou was favored since childhood, so his personality was naturally arrogant. He not only took advantage of him, but also often ridiculed Baobing Hou as incompetent and unable to maintain his ancestral property.
At this point, the conflict between the two gradually became clear and open, and eventually there was a tendency to never interact with each other when they died.
And outsiders naturally enjoy seeing this scene. If it weren't for this, wouldn't the historian be too powerful?
As a result, there were many people who fueled the fire, and the two brothers of the Shi family became more and more enemies...
For these two incompetent nephews, even Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Shi, gave up with such a grudge.
Therefore, the historians are far from as powerful as they imagined.
Just by looking at Baobing Hou’s methods today, you can tell how big his pattern is.
The most important thing is that whether it is Baoling Hou Shi Nai or Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, they can inherit or get the title of noble title, they are all taking the path of Prince Zhongshun.
They are indeed all martial artists, but their martial arts and military merits are far from reaching the point where they can obtain the position of marquis.
Therefore, although the historians were a family of two marquises, their reputation was not good within the nobles.
Even if there are two marquises in the Shi family, in the eyes of the public, they are far less prestigious than the Duke of Zhenguo, who only inherited the first-class beloved.
Even the close relatives Jia family didn't have much affection for them...
So, if Baobing Hou wanted to ask him for cement formula by using the brand of Jia Mu Shi Laojun, he had a wrong idea.
After briefly telling Li Wanji about the reason for the inner world, the very smart Li Wanji understood the inner world situation without long, so he revealed it and did not mention it. However, he still reported to Jia Huan a message that made Jia Huan stunned: "Third Master, when I came back, a historian came with him..."
Jia Huan said speechlessly: "No, right? Old Li, you have such a strong taste? Go and do some work and give the housekeeper..."
Li Wanji said laughing and crying: "The Third Master is talking about it? I... I am really... the eldest lady of the Shi family. I asked that woman to bring a message to the Third Master."
"who?"
Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion.
Li Wanji said: "I don't know who it is. The woman said it was the eldest lady of the Shi family."
"Bang!"
After slapping his forehead, Jia Huan said, "I remembered it, go and call the woman in. I want to listen..."
