If there weren't so many people in the public place, Jia Liu would definitely have picked out a guy and slapped the old rich guy in the face.
You can make an IOU, but what does it mean to make an IOU?
Since becoming an official, no one has dared to give Mr. Jia a free note!
This is a big deal.
The more Jia Liu thought about it, the angrier he became. He was really burning in his heart, but he couldn't control it. He pinched the piece of paper that was obviously from the military aircraft office, and his chest felt tight and tight.
Just this, ten thousand taels?
When he was feeling uncomfortable, Daquan came with his little son in his arms.
But when he heard that the foreman, Fu Zhongtang, was all here to drink his youngest son's full-moon wine, he was so happy that he wanted to talk to Fu Zhongtang no matter what.
If my wife doesn't come, it's not a good thing for the family. Of course, the family members can't show up casually.
In the past, it didn't matter if Aunt Zhao stayed by the door soliciting customers. Now she has become an official's wife or an official's mother. Some rules must be followed, otherwise the Jia family's face will be lost.
"I didn't expect that my child's full-moon wine would alarm the Lord in the middle hall. It's really. It's so radiant and the ancestors have accumulated good deeds."
Daquan was so excited that he didn't know which hand to put his little son in.
"Jia Weng's words are serious. I have a very close relationship with my husband-in-law. Today is a happy event. How can I not come? Well, Jia Weng, a Qilin son, looks like a blessed person at first sight."
As the old man spoke, he stared at the little son Daquan held in his arms, and realized that the little boy looked neither like his father nor his elder brother.
Maybe he just followed his mother.
The rich man really doesn’t know whose daughter Jia Daquan’s second wife is.
I asked Daquan casually: "What is this child's name?"
Daquan hurriedly said: "It's called Baoyu. I asked you to pick it up from your husband. What do you think of the name?"
"Baoyu? Jia Baoyu?"
Not only was the old rich man stunned, but even Governor Bi of Shaanxi Province next to him had a question mark on his forehead: Is there anyone else with this name?
"Okay, what a good name."
The old man reacted quickly and quickly praised Daquan for the good name he gave his youngest son. At the same time, he glanced meaningfully at the six sons who were in a panic.
There was a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.
Very damaging.
Jia Liu had nothing to say, so why should Daquan be so uneducated?
In "The Story of the Stone", Jia Baoyu and his eldest brother Jia Zhu died young.
You fucking named your youngest son after Baoyu, aren't you cursing your boss?
But it doesn't matter, the beliefs of the six Jia people are quite outrageous.
What is good for him is science, and what is not good for him is superstition.
"The name Baoyu is really good. As the name suggests, this child will definitely be a handsome man when he grows up."
The old rich man was very good at talking and gave him a lot of face. He pretended to chat with Daquan, and then suddenly took out his personal jade pendant from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Baoyu's hand.
Since it is called Baoyu, there must be a piece of it. It just so happens that his rich father has one, so it should be a blessing to the little Baoyu.
The jade looked like a good thing at first glance. Most of them were knowledgeable. How could they be embarrassed to accept the jade pendant from the Lord of the Central Hall?
Received.
Jia Liu watched from the side and remained silent.
If he read correctly, the jade pendant that the old rich man gave to his younger brother was a burial object of Yongzheng.
After sending the jade away, he praised Jia Liu there, saying that Daquan was a blessed person, the eldest son was filial, the younger son was good-looking, and the Jia family would be extremely prosperous in the future.
Everyone listened with great joy, nodding their heads from time to time.
Finally, the useless nonsense was over. The old rich man coughed lightly and walked to Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, who had been standing beside him, and said a few words.
Because the voice was not loud, Jia Liu could not hear clearly what the old rich man said.
But judging from Bi Yuan's expression, it's probably the matter of the descendant of the Fourteenth Master.
The old rich man must have known the purpose of Bi Yuan's visit to Jia's house. After all, the governor of Shaanxi, Lerjin, had pointed him to help in the first place.
As a result, the rich man returned the favor, and Governor Le had no choice but to find someone else to find a solution.
Jia Liu can help with this matter.
He had thought about it, Leerjin didn't need him for the nomination, so in the end he definitely hoped that Jia Liuxi's votes would go to Yongxin.
According to the revised voting method, the hat king candidates will have to go through two votes.
The first time is to select the final hat king candidate to participate in the competition.
In this process, Jia Liu planned to offer a price of 10,000 taels a piece, and first earn around 300,000 from Le Erjin.
In the final vote, the price is uncertain.
Because Jia Liu didn't know who was on the final list of candidates, and how much these people were willing to pay in order to compete for the title of Hat King.
Therefore, it is most beneficial to him not to make any bids yet and let the candidates compete among themselves.
Just like an auction, the highest bidder wins.
Otherwise, if you write a ticket for 20,000 taels, but someone else originally planned to issue a ticket for 50,000 taels, wouldn't this transaction result in a huge loss immediately?
I don’t know what the old rich man said to Bi Yuan, but Bi Yuan’s expression didn’t change much.
And judging by his posture, the old rich man was planning to run away.
So before the old rich man said he wanted to leave, Jia Liu stepped forward and warmly invited Mr. Zhongtang to come in and have a cup of tea.
This is to move the old man over again and study the meaning of the white paper representing ten thousand taels.
If the old rich man doesn't give him rice and beans, Jia Liu will definitely not let him live in peace.
He is enthusiastic, but his eyes are a little sideways.
This made the old man’s cheeks twitch, and he waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no, no, the Military Aircraft Department still has a lot of official business waiting for me to do.”
"Aren't there other military masters here? It's rare for me to come to the central hall, so I have to have two drinks before leaving."
Jia Liu tried his best to persuade him to stay, and nothing he said today would make this big fat pig run away.
The old rich man will not be fooled. Unless there are a hundred thousand urgent matters waiting for him to deal with, he really cannot afford to delay here any longer.
"What's so urgent?"
"It's urgent anyway."
"What's going on?"
Jia Liu inquired deeply and made it clear that if you, the old rich man, couldn't tell me anything, you wouldn't be able to leave today.
In order to escape, the old man had no choice but to say that the official army in Taiwan was defeated, the rebels of the Tiandihui colluded with the Westerners to interfere in our internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian, Ba Baili Kuaima, requested the imperial court to send a large army to cross the sea platform.
"Foreigners?"
This news made Jia Liu a little surprised, because Xiao Chunzi had not written to him recently, so he did not know where this foreigner came from.
But no matter what happened to this foreigner, the reversal of the war situation in Taiwan is a good thing for Jia Liu.
Out of distrust of the Tiandihui, an incompetent rebel group, Jia Liuda proposed an "independent" development program for Xiaochunzi and Liu De from the beginning.
In the early stage, Lin Shuangwen and others may still be needed to carry the banner, but in the later stage, the leadership of the rebel army will be concentrated on Xiao Chunzi and Liu De. It doesn't matter how big the momentum is, how many people participate, or what if there are one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, only one or two thousand elites are needed.
That’s it.
After fully occupying Taiwan, we must actively build warships, train soldiers, strengthen ties with Western countries, and improve our own technological and combat readiness capabilities. Then, if the Huguang war situation requires us to launch a counterattack on Fujian and send our troops northward, we will launch a plan.
It was Jia Liu who pointed out that Yang Yuchun and the others could contain the Qing army in the southeast and contribute to the Gongjin Association's comprehensive usurpation of the Qing power.
