Since I paid 1,500 taels for painting outside last month, my bank account has already bottomed out.
The second master didn’t believe it. I asked Wu Xindeng to bring the account book. Page after page, item by item, was clearly listed. The second master just checked it carefully.
I also called Wu Xinzhu, who is in charge of the bank, and I can immediately take him to check the bank. Except for five months of food and monthly money, there is no money left.
At least we have to support Zhuangzi until the end of the year, but I don’t know if I can wait.”
In front of everyone, Lai Dada knelt down in front of Jia Lian in a dignified manner, with a look of embarrassment and worry on his face, uglier than his dead father.
.
This was the first time that Jia Lian took over from Jia Zheng and presided over a regular meeting of the "Jia Clan Provincial Family House Project Department" in the small hall behind Rongxi Hall.
Just now, Jia Zhen finished talking about the progress of the Provincial Family Home, and then she talked about money.
When it comes to money, it means "no money".
Lai Da took "Empty City Strategy" which he had sung several times in front of Jia Zheng and sang it again in front of Jia Lian.
Seeing that Jia Lian remained silent, Lai Da shook his hands and acted like "I am a die-hard loyalist" but "I have no choice but to live or die." He knelt on the ground and fucked Jia Lian.
Jia Zhen shook her head repeatedly in her heart:
"This Jia Lian is still too young. For such a big project and such a troublesome matter, what can he know about such a big project and such a troublesome thing? He is just pretending to take care of it."<
/p>
Jia Zhen knew that it must be Mrs. Wang's idea to let Jia Lian succeed Jia Zheng to support this "hot potato". The Wang family... haha.
When that bitch Wang Chunfeng died, luckily I caught Youshi quickly and filled the hole. Otherwise, Mrs. Wang might have killed another girl from their Wang family.
This Jia Lian also married a member of the Wang family, but did he end up plotting against the Wang family? Only he himself knows how uncomfortable it is for Jia Lian to sit in this position.
Seeing that Jia Lian kept silent, Jia Zhen thought:
Humph, where did the energy you had when you were chopping coffins with your ancestors' loyal sword in the street go? Why don't you show off now? Why don't you act like a big-tailed eagle?
At that time, you didn't even dare to look down on me, the leader of the clan, and you were so crazy.
Alas, if I had known that the second master was going to throw this thunder to Lian Er, I would not have agreed to Lai Da's mortgage of the shop. I am so happy that I don't care about anything, I just watch you sitting here.
Forget it, those shops only pawned out 10,000 taels of silver anyway. We are still at least hundreds of thousands taels short of being able to completely complete this Provincial Family Courtyard. Lian Er, I want to see what you are capable of.
Let’s see where you get the money!
If the matter of the Queen's marriage proposal goes to waste this time, Lian'er, Lian'er, look at me, I'll have to let the Jia family scold you!
.
Finally, Jia Lian, who had been silent all this time, raised his head, but instead of talking to Lai Da, he glanced at the "chief designer" Shan Ziye who had been sitting on the side looking at his nose, mouth and heart.
Leng Buding Jia Lian went to Shanzi wildly:
"Mr. Shan Ziye, I heard earlier that you have planned and built many gardens, so you must have rich experience.
On the contrary, here, from design, construction, procurement to personnel appointment, work recording, supervision, and acceptance, most of them are laymen.
Naturally, I am also a layman, so I have to ask the old gentleman for advice on many things."
What he said was very polite, which made Shan Ziye very helpful.
.
It is true that Shan Ziye is a builder, but he is also a cunning old man.
He has been visiting the residences of various nobles, high-ranking officials, and wealthy businessmen all year round. He has planned many large and small gardens for them. He has long been accustomed to seeing people serving dishes. He first understands the situation of the owner's house, and then decides whether he can have a good life in it.
What a "stealing hand".
When the Jia family wanted to build a villa for relatives, the person who recommended Shan Ziye was Zhan Guang, a guest of Jia Zheng.
Zhan Guang's recommendation was successful, so he turned to Shan Ziye and asked for a "red envelope" of one hundred taels of silver.
Shan Zi ambition loves money and says Zhan Guang's lion has his mouth wide open.
Zhan Guang curled his lips:
"The men of the Jia family are just a bunch of fools. You have caught up this time. Just wait until you have enough to eat and drink. Why don't you thank me properly?"
At the beginning, Shan Ziye did not dare to be too careless. He gritted his teeth and trembled with his legs as he reported the huge budget of "one million taels" to Zhan Guang.
Zhan Guang sneered:
"You only earn five hundred thousand taels? Who can share this?"
So, I reached out and changed the budget to 1.5 million taels for Shan Ziye.
When Lai Da was about to report it to Jia Zheng, he looked at the number and shook his head:
"My share is not included in this, right?"
So, the budget was changed to two million taels of silver.
.
More than half a year has passed since the start of construction, and Shan Ziye has already developed his courage.
The sum of tens of thousands of taels of silver was signed with a single swipe of the pen, without any hesitation.
Anyway, you have signed it yourself, and there are still a bunch of people behind you who want to sign, and the responsibility is not on you alone, so what are you afraid of?
The last person to sign was Jia Zheng.
As long as this master feels that it is for the sake of the Jia family and that he is not burdened, he can pay whatever he wants for large and small projects, and no one will scheme against you.
Moreover, every time a sum of money is signed, Shan Ziye will immediately receive a "dividend", why not?
The Jia family's 1.9 million taels of silver were spent like this.
Shan Ziye himself also received one hundred thousand taels.
This is a big number that everyone will be jealous of, and there is no risk. Who will let anyone go?
Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen looked bluffing, but in fact they were two useless people who couldn't understand anything. They were always extremely grateful and admired Shan Ziye.
So this time it was replaced by Jia Lian. Shan Ziye felt even happier when he saw this handsome boy with an unseasoned face like a young man - there was really no one in the Jia family, so they sent such a gadget to make up for the loss.
.
Jia Zheng, the head of the Rongguo Mansion, has given us a lot of fun. Can this young dandy handle it?
Joke!
.
Shan Ziye pretended to be humble and nodded.
Jia Lian continued to smile and said:
"Although our garden is not comparable to the royal garden, it is used for the Queen's wedding. It must have many functions such as receiving congratulations, banquets, traveling, resting, writing meetings, and worshiping Buddha. It is indispensable to dig the ground to make a pond and build stones.
The cost of building a mountain and erecting a pavilion is naturally more than that of an ordinary private garden.
When we first measured the dimensions, the garden had a circumference of three and a half miles and an area of nearly three hundred acres. The total budget given was two million taels of silver, including the curtains and furnishings. Bamboo trees, rocks, pavilions and pavilion railings were all included.
The belongings of Jia's old house were moved and used.
But I just took a look and found that the main body of the building has just been completed. The doors and windows have not yet been made, and the interior is in a mess. But on this account, 1.9 million taels of silver have already been spent.
There must be something wrong that shouldn't happen.
Yesterday I went to ask a doctor from the Ministry of Industry's Maintenance Department. He said that a few years ago, he built the Chengtian Yanshou Garden in the western suburbs for the Emperor to live in his old age. It cost a total of 4.4 million taels of silver. It only included the construction and construction.
Garden, excluding curtains and furnishings.
But the Emperor's garden covers an area of 3,600 acres, which is ten times the size of our garden, but the total cost is only twice my family's budget!
Even if there are a total of fifty-six palaces and pavilions in the royal garden, and there are thirty-six construction projects in my garden, how can we dare to compare with the royal family in terms of scale, grade of materials, and level of detail of our buildings? Compared with this, the previous budget for my garden must have been too high."
.
It’s going to kill you!
Shan Ziye suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his back, and his palms and soles were cramping.
Immediately, the whole back was covered with cold sweat, and the cold sweat on both hands flowed down from the fingers.
Who is this person?
As soon as this young man, who looked like he had no ambitions, opened his mouth, just a few words were like a sharp knife that pierced his vitals.
They have reasons and examples, and directly compare the royal gardens to you, including the size of the area, the number of projects, and the budget, and explain it clearly and clearly.
And Jia Lian's next words made Shan Ziye paralyzed and almost slipped from the chair to the ground.
