He easily won over all the students in the clan school who wanted to make money, and Jia Rong was very satisfied.
At least half of ethnic studies students have a strong desire to make money.
Needless to say, family conditions are quite average.
As for other ethnic studies students who want to make money but can't endure hardship, or whose handwriting is too ugly, they can only curse their classmates in their hearts for losing money.
These guys don't know that in Jia Rong's eyes, they are nothing but parasites who can only rely on Ning Rong's second house to survive in the future.
It's not that he is mean. Through communicating with ethnic studies students, he also understood the current situation of the Jia clan in Beijing.
As the saying goes, leaning against a big tree is the best way to enjoy the shade, and this is true.
If you really don't have a confused mind and endure the pain of running around, if you have the ability to run ideas and rely on the momentum of Ningrong's second house to create a situation that is slightly better than a well-off level, there will be no problem.
The top-level nobles who have fallen into decline naturally do not have much deterrence to the big men in the court, but they are still very powerful to the officials who are at the bottom of the officialdom.
Using the name of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, it is quite profitable to do some reselling business.
The key is that being able to avoid being exploited by lower-level officials is a considerable advantage.
In addition, you can do some money-making activities such as intermediary guarantees.
In short, as long as you have a clear mind, your life will definitely be fine.
It's a pity that the Jia clan members in Beijing at this time have become accustomed to clinging to Ningrong's second house as vines. They only want to take advantage of Ningrong's second house. As for other things, they have never thought about it and cannot bear the hardship.
The problem is that those who want to benefit from Ningrong's second mansion also have a huge team of servants from the two mansions. The benefits that fall into the hands of the Jingcheng clan will only be leftover.
The same is true. Most of the Jia clan members in the capital are living a normal life.
People like Jia Dairu are relatively wealthy.
It's a pity that in order to support the children in the family to study, the family's financial resources have been almost exhausted.
Coupled with my old-fashioned temper and poor management skills, life became a bit tight.
But that's it, as a clan scholar, you can get at least seventy taels of silver benefits from the clan every year, plus gifts from the student's family, life is pretty good.
After understanding this, Jia Rong felt confident.
It can only be said that Ningrong's second house has risen too fast, and its background is still too shallow.
The eight houses in the capital are all from Ningrong's second house.
After all, the two houses can only be inherited by direct descendants, and the other concubine descendants are the origins of the eight houses in the capital.
It's a pity that the two old princes and the two powerful generation leaders behind them have problems with the use of the side tribesmen.
Of course, maybe Jia Rong's idea is wrong, but it is an indisputable fact that the Jia clan is not doing well in the capital.
Not to mention anything else, there are still many ways to make money just in Clan Science here, as long as you are willing to use your brain.
Copying books is the stupidest, but also the most stable way to make money.
It’s no joke that books are expensive. There are not many scholars here like Zuxue who have a complete set of classics and history.
Those scholars who come from poor backgrounds may not even be able to collect four books and five classics.
For example, the Four Books and Five Classics published by the government were simply unaffordable for scholars from poor families.
At this time, the business of copying books emerged.
In short, there are many ways inside, and Jia Rong does not fully understand them, but she knows that this is a pretty good and stable source of income.
When school was over, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang took their young servants with them, and Shi Shiran left to study.
"Brother Rong, is your method of making money by copying books reliable?"
After holding it in for a day at the clan school, Jia Qiang finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked directly: "Is there any problem?"
"What could be the problem?"
Jia Rong said disapprovingly: "When we bought story books before, didn't you see people making money by copying books?"
"Brother Rong, is this what you are talking about?"
Jia Qiang looked surprised and said disdainfully: "How much money can I earn?"
"No matter how much money you can earn, it is always a good path!"
Jia Rong said angrily: "How about you lend me a few hundred taels?"
"It's better to wait and make money by copying books!"
Jia Qiang was startled and said hurriedly: "Anyway, I won't participate anymore!"
hehe……
Near the corner gate, I waved goodbye to Jia Qiang. Seeing the anxious attitude of this guy, I guessed that he had made an appointment with someone.
After all, he can be regarded as a direct descendant of the Ning Mansion. Given the attitude of the head of the family, Jia Zhen, at least there is no problem in standing upright in front of a group of Jia clan members.
Because of the relationship between the original owner Jia Rong, he had some friendship with a bunch of dudes in the capital.
Even if he is a vassal of Ning Mansion, he still has a few friends outside.
Of course, this guy's greatest ability is to please Jia Zhen, the head of Ning Mansion, so he spends most of his free time in Ning Mansion.
When Shi Shiran arrived at the second gate, he waved goodbye to several young servant chiefs. Jia Rong stopped a maid who was passing by and asked if Master Jia Zhen was not in the inner courtyard at this time.
In this case, there was no need for him to go to Ning'an Hall to pay his respects.
First, he went back to his small courtyard, changed his clothes, and took his two maids with him to the courtyard where his grandmother was.
The courtyard where my grandmother lives is similar to the Rongqing Hall where Mrs. Shi of Rong Mansion lives.
Of course, as the residence of the head of the Jia family in Beijing, although the courtyard where my grandmother lived was not as magnificent as the Rongqing Hall described in Dream of Red Mansions, it was still quite majestic and solemn.
Jia Rong knows exactly what gods he worships wherever he goes.
But I don’t think that I am a time traveler, just as arrogant and ignorant as the boss in heaven and his second son.
After entering the main hall of the courtyard according to the rules and etiquette, my grandmother was lying on the bed, breathing a little unsteadily. It was obvious that her health was not very good.
"My grandson has met the old lady!"
After saluting, Jia Rong looked up and saw the old woman with a high bulge in her abdomen and was lying on the bed with unsteady breathing. She was suddenly surprised.
Damn, what did he see?
I saw the void above the bed where my grandmother was lying, representing the old lady's red luck, which was rapidly draining away at a speed that could be sensed.
The key thing is that all the luck that the old lady lost actually poured into the placenta in her belly.
However, the fetus that has formed in the old lady's belly shows no sign of improving its own luck. I don't know where the old lady's lost luck has gone.
The situation that appeared in front of her made Jia Rong a little stunned for a while.
Although I knew that the old lady's condition was not very good, I didn't expect that it would be like this, which was quite strange.
Seeing that the red luck in the void was gradually changing to light luck, he knew that once the light red luck could no longer be maintained, it would be the day the old lady died...
