It only took half a month to quietly obtain Jia Cong's younger brother's qualification for the childbirth examination and deliver it directly to Jia Cong.
"This is the recipe for briquettes and the method for making grinding tools!"
There was nothing wrong with the inspection, and Jia Cong did not delay. He made an appointment with Jia Lian to meet outside and took him directly to a remote courtyard where the printing workshop belonged.
"So simple?"
After glancing at the thin piece of paper and the few words on it, Jia Lian's face looked very bad.
"What if?"
Jia Cong was not afraid of Lian Er falling out, and said with a leisurely smile: "If it is too complicated, there is no need to promote it at all. How can it replace the role of firewood?"
this……
Jia Lian thought about it and said depressedly: "The third brother is really a good trick!"
"There's nothing I can do, I can't use the resources in the mansion at all!"
With a chuckle, Jia Cong confessed very frankly and said with a wry smile: "Some things are simply impossible to do, so we have to do this!"
"Are you brave enough to want to get your hands on the resources in the house?"
Surprised, Jia Lian was not in a hurry to find someone to test the recipe, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing!"
hehe……
Jia Cong was noncommittal. If we were to go by the original version of Red Mansions, he actually didn't like Chain Two at all.
The main thing is that this guy simply can't see his position clearly.
In the original work of Red Mansions, this man obviously regarded himself as the foreign affairs officer of the Rongguo Mansion, and even he subconsciously thought that he was helping the second master Jia Zheng manage the foreign affairs.
What a big joke!
So what if Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion? Jia Lian is the only legitimate son of the first-class general Jia She and the heir to the title of the General Mansion.
When he inherits the title, he and his contemporary Jia Baoyu will definitely separate their families.
It is obvious that both the old lady and the second wife have trained Jia Baoyu, the Phoenix Egg, as the head of the Rongguo Mansion. From now on, the resources of the Rongguo Mansion will have nothing to do with Jia Lian.
In other words, even if he attacks the prince, Jia Lian can only get the resources of the general's palace.
No matter whether he is doing good or bad now, it has nothing to do with him, the legitimate son of the eldest son.
Under such circumstances, if you still follow Jia Zheng and do things as a matter of course, you will get nothing in the end. In other words, when you deal with foreign affairs, the amount of money you spend is pitifully small.
This kind of performance means that it is difficult to read in capital letters.
"Brother Lian, have you thought about how to run the briquette business?"
He casually changed the subject and said with a chuckle: "Brother Lian, don't be offended, I'm just a little worried!"
"Why are you worried?"
Jia Lian asked with a smile: "Is it possible that there is something going on with the briquette business?"
He just spoke like this subconsciously, without thinking about it.
Naturally, he had already had an idea for the briquette business, and he had already considered it all, and was just waiting for it to be fully launched to make huge profits.
As long as I think of the scene of gold mountains and silver seas rolling in, I can't help but feel hot in my heart, and I don't even have the attention to pay attention to the pile of rubbish in Rongguo Mansion.
Managing the external affairs of the Rongguo Mansion for your second uncle, how can you be more comfortable than making a lot of money yourself?
"We'll know what's going on when Brother Lian fully expands his business!"
Jia Cong just smiled and said nothing, and did not reveal the hidden dangers of the briquette business. It is estimated that even if he mentioned it now, Jia Lian might not take it to heart.
It's better to wait until he feels the pressure before discussing it.
Just kidding, a resource-based business like coal can be successful on a small scale, but once the scale expands, it will touch the territory of the top powerful people.
Since the death of the previous generation of Dukes, the Rongguo Mansion has fallen from the position of top dignitaries. Now it is at best a second-rate dignitary, or even worse.
"You kid, you still play such tricks on me!"
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and scolding, but he didn't care too much.
Just as Jia Cong guessed, he was full of joy at this time and had no mind to care about other things.
Now that the prescription has been obtained, Jia Lian had no intention of continuing to chat with Jia Cong. When he turned to leave, he unexpectedly asked: "What are you going to do if you don't have the qualifications I got for you to participate in the childbirth examination?"
"What else can be done?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Let's ask the younger brothers to go back to Jinling in batches and participate in the childbirth examination organized by the local government!"
"You're so cruel, kid!"
…
Huibinlou, a mid-range restaurant in Beijing.
In addition to providing wine and food, the Huibin Building has storytellers stationed there all year round, and from time to time some famous operas will be invited to perform on the stage.
In Beijing, all restaurants that reach a certain scale basically have this number.
When the lanterns come on, business is at its hottest.
Several well-dressed young men wandered into the bustling reception building, and under the warm greetings of the waiter, they went directly to the second floor seating area.
"Kuaizui Lao Li, what are you talking about tonight?"
One of the young men in Chinese attire asked curiously: "It's not like the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses?"
They are all regular customers and they are not polite at all.
Kuaisui Lao Li is one of the signatures of Huibinlou. He is a famous storyteller in the storytelling circles in the capital. Several well-dressed young people are also his audience.
"You guys are blessed today, Lao Li is planning to talk about the new novel of 'Cong San Shao'!"
The second brother was very enthusiastic. While serving tea and water, he did not forget to introduce: "I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Young Master Cong?"
The young man in fine clothes who spoke frowned slightly, quickly reacted, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "He must be the guy who wrote "Calabash Baby" and "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen"!"
"It's his new book!"
The younger brother nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I heard that Lao Li spent several hours in Huiyou Bookstore in order to buy new books!"
"If it's really a new book by 'Cong Sanshao', you should listen to it carefully!"
Not only the young man in fine clothes who spoke, but also several other companions were also interested.
The so-called "Three Young Masters Cong" is naturally Jia Cong's pen name, which is quite straightforward.
Although he is mainly famous for writing children's books, because the stories are novel and exciting, even adults will find them quite good.
At least it is more interesting and novel than the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, which I am almost tired of hearing about. It has gradually accumulated some adult fans.
"Kuai Zui Lao Li, I heard that there is a new book by 'Cong San Shao' today. Let's start quickly. I can't wait!"
Obviously, there were quite a few "San Shao Cong" among the drinkers, and before the reception building entered its busiest stage, some of the drinkers were already shouting.
"What, are you talking about the new book of 'Cong Sanshao' today?"
"Who is 'Master Cong'? Is he famous?"
"Hurry up and start, listen first and then talk!"
"..."
Regardless of whether they have heard of the name "Cong San Shao" or not, the group of drinkers heard that they could hear a new joke today, and it was very lively for a while and they started shouting...
