The Shuoshu in the Imperial Manor was easily dealt with without causing much disturbance or commotion, and the lower-level tenants were naturally not affected at all.
It wasn't until Jia Cong's subordinates went deep into the fields and came into contact with these low-level tenants that they realized that Huangzhuang had "changed."
I was worried for a while, until I realized that it had little impact on them, and then I felt relieved.
Jia Cong simply temporarily stationed in Huangzhuang. Unless something really happened and he couldn't escape, his younger brothers basically worked with him. Of course, their studies were not affected.
But in this way, I can't fall behind in my studies. I have to work according to the tasks assigned by Jia Cong, write summary reports and experience. In short, I am as busy as a dog without any chance to breathe.
They were all underage. Although almost all of the younger brothers were admitted to Tongsheng and their status was no longer the same, Jia Cong still explained it clearly to their families.
The current traffic situation is quite primitive, and it is impossible for him to let his younger brother ride a horse instead. Huangzhuang is located in the suburbs of Beijing, which is still a bit far away. Sometimes, he can only rest in Huangzhuang if he doesn't have time to return to the city.
What makes Jia Cong dumbfounded is that when the family members of these younger brothers heard that they had the opportunity to be 'trained' in Huangzhuang, they actually became greedy as they shouldn't be.
On this day, the busy work in the Huangzhuang Management Office finally came to an end. The few children who stayed in the management office breathed a sigh of relief, made a pot of tea and chatted and relaxed together.
One of them looked around and saw that there was no old man in the village. He whispered: "It's really unlucky. My father actually asked me to help arrange a few relatives in the village, and even took the position of a minor steward. How can I open my mouth? How dare I say it?"
Open your mouth?"
"You have also encountered such trouble, and my family is also in trouble. My mother has been talking to me in private. Not only does she want to arrange for relatives to come in, but she even wants to completely control the imperial village!"
"Haha, my house is relatively quiet here, but some people in Rong Mansion heard the news and wanted to get involved!"
"I don't know where my family got the confidence. Even if I leave the Imperial Mansion to them, they will be able to completely control it. Let's just dream!"
"Yeah, I thought this place in Huangzhuang is the Rong Mansion. Those managers are so lawless that they really don't know whether to live or die!"
"I'm afraid they will go directly to the boss and try to use their power to overwhelm others!"
"..."
Jia Cong stopped at the door of the central hall of the management office for a long time, listened to the "secret", and finally shook his head and left with an angry look on his face.
"Third Young Master, why don't you come in and give me a scolding?"
Wangcai looked like he was loyal to his master and said angrily: "I gave them such a good opportunity and even thought about getting involved in the imperial village. They are worse than pigs and dogs!"
"Didn't you hear it? It's their family members!"
Jia Cong looked calm, without the slightest hint of anger, and said with a leisurely smile: "Obviously they understand what is going on here in Huangzhuang!"
My younger brother is still smart enough to know that Huangzhuang is different from Rongguo Mansion.
Apart from other things, the forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, those small stewards, and even Jia Cong were not easily touched. Why should they?
The people of the Jia clan in the capital are almost useless. They can live a better life than ordinary people in the capital because of the power and influence of Ningrong's second house. It has nothing to do with their own abilities. Otherwise, there would be almost no Jia in the officialdom or even in the yamen.
None of the clan members?
The reason why the Aristocratic Family is called the Aristocratic Family is because they not only have people at the top, but also have unwavering influence and control over the lower levels. This is the true heritage of the Aristocratic Family.
Obviously, blindly focusing on high-level officialdom and "ineffective training" of many clan members are the real reasons for the decline of the Jia clan in the capital.
It is a fact that once the high-level officialdom loses its role model, the influence of Ning Rong and the Second Mansion will shrink sharply.
However, the Jia clan members, who are used to waiting for something, do not realize this at all. Even if they realize it, they do not have the courage to change their more comfortable living environment.
Then, they were influenced by the bad atmosphere of Ning Rong's second house. They were all big-eyed and empty-hearted, greedy for profit without the ability to match it.
Jia Cong really didn't take notice of such tribesmen.
Still want to seize control of Huangzhuang?
He didn't even need to come forward personally, the gang of stewards in the Imperial Manor who were inextricably connected with the Ministry of Internal Affairs could bring them to death.
If you really have to deal with these little stewards, the power of the Rongguo Mansion cannot intimidate anyone.
My subordinates may or may not have noticed it, but they all know that the bargains at Huangzhuang are not so easy to get their hands on.
Just saying that these days of investigation in the fields, the information collected shows that the oil and water that Huangzhuang can extract in private has been divided up.
If the Jia clan members came in rashly, the most likely outcome would be a bloody encounter.
Besides, Jia Cong is just letting them learn management in Huangzhuang at the moment. As for whether he will really let them continue to manage Huangzhuang in the future, he has no confidence at all.
It is simply impossible to fool Jia Cong like the old lady and second wife of Rong Mansion, and their IQs are not enough.
Wangcai was a little confused and didn't understand the third young master's thoughts at all.
But one good thing about him is that even if he doesn't understand something, he doesn't bother to think too much about it. He can just listen to the third young master's instructions.
This kid is simply the only junior in his family. His parents are both at the bottom of the Rongguo Mansion, and he has a very honest personality, so he doesn't have many other ideas.
Wangcai is overjoyed to be able to follow Jia Cong as a servant, and the situation at home has also improved. As for more extravagant wishes, at least for now.
…
The fact that Jia Cong began to take over the management of Huangzhuang gradually spread as time went by.
The Jia clan members on Ningrong Street are all jealous. Their child is Jia Cong's younger brother. If they have the opportunity to learn management practice in Huangzhuang, they are even more imaginative and want to directly intervene in Huangzhuang. There are all good reasons.
How can outsiders be as reliable as family members?
Didn't the village head earlier take away eighteen carts of property in one go? How could such a thing happen if clan members like them were there to help watch?
Brother Cong is still young after all. He still has to study and make progress. He has no time to manage the palace. Naturally, he needs help from his family members, right?
In short, during the time when Jia Cong was staying at Huangzhuang, these and other opinions were very popular, and there was no intention to stop, as if they were really doing good for Jia Cong.
Not to mention the children who participated in the management internship in Huangzhuang, Jia Yun and Jia Fang who were in the clan school were also affected.
In the evening of that day, Jia Yun packed up her lesson plans and greeted two young scholars from outside who lived in Mr. Ethnology's dormitory before Shi Shiran went home.
Although he is now a scholar, with the clan's monthly offerings and clan scholarship, the family's economic conditions have greatly improved. At least the mother does not need to do laundry and do odd jobs to make money to support the family, but the mother and son have no intention of moving away.
.
Although Jia Yun can live in a better house with her current income.
"Brother Yun, your uncle came here in the afternoon and wanted to talk to you about something. I pushed it to the afternoon of the day after tomorrow when school is on vacation!"
When she saw her son, Yun's mother said something first, with a dull look on her face, and she obviously didn't have a good impression of her biological eldest brother.
The same goes for Jia Yun. His uncle Bu Shiren has a similar homonym to his name. He is truly a villain.
When the family's situation was at its worst, this guy didn't even try to help, and even engaged in misappropriation of real estate. He was stingy and unjust, and didn't care about family ties at all.
Before Jia Yun started to gain momentum, the two families had basically stopped contacting each other.
But when he was selected as a scholar, his future was bright, and he had a stable income, so he immediately came to marry him. Unfortunately, Jia Yun and his mother were not enthusiastic.
Although she was reluctant in her heart, after all, the other party was her uncle, so Jia Yun had to reluctantly agree: "Then let's do it!"
According to the rules of ethnic studies, there is a half-day holiday after ten days of study, so that both teachers and students can breathe a sigh of relief.
Before dinner was ready, Ni Er, who was dressed beautifully, invited him for a drink, and Jia Yun immediately accepted and went out.
Ever since selling information to Jia Cong, this guy's life has been quite comfortable.
Not to mention the reward of one hundred and twenty taels of silver for the first two times, and the subsequent benefits of fifty or sixty taels of silver.
The quality of life suddenly improved, and the clothes on my body changed accordingly, and they looked very bright and beautiful.
After eating and drinking, reminiscing about old times and chatting about nearby gossip, Ni Er finally asked out of curiosity: "I heard that Mr. Cong got a big palace?"
"It was a gift from a noble man. It has a thousand acres. I heard it is all fertile land!"
Jia Yun didn't hide it. He had heard what Ningrong Street said recently, but he didn't take it seriously.
But he was quite disdainful of what was said on the street.
Wanting to take advantage of the boss is simply wishful thinking!
"I heard that several housekeepers in Rong Mansion are also interested in Third Master's Imperial Mansion!"
Looking around, Ni Er lowered his voice and revealed: "I also overheard that a certain butler in Rong Mansion was having a drink outside, and what he said after drinking!"
Hey!
Jia Yun frowned. If the housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion wanted to reach out, it would not be so easy to deal with. These guys are all so arrogant that they almost think of themselves as kings.
"I will tell the boss about this, and you will benefit from it when the time comes!"
Jia Yun toasted with a glass of wine, and then solemnly said: "If there is anything else that concerns the boss, remember to notify him as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, I want to become prosperous with Third Master!"
Ni Er chuckled, with a happy smile on his face.
On the next day, Jia Yun passed the news to Jia Cong in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing through the channel of Huiyou Bookstore, and continued to teach and study on her own with peace of mind.
Soon, the half-day holiday that comes every ten days came. Jia Yun rushed directly to her uncle Bu Shiren's powder shop. When they met, she didn't greet him politely and directly asked her uncle about the real purpose of meeting him?
Bu Shiren acted like an elder and said directly: "Didn't I hear that Young Master Cong San of Rong Mansion took over an imperial estate? I heard that you have a good relationship with Young Master Cong. My uncle wants to find out more about Young Master Cong through you.
Regarding your tone, can you arrange for a few relatives to come in as stewards..."
