After the meal was finished, four plates of meat and vegetables were left on the bottom of the plate.
Instead, there were four grilled vegetarian dishes, and most of the plate was left with tofu skin and grilled cabbage.
The ninth elder brother couldn't help but glance at the third elder brother's belly.
Why does the belt seem to loosen faster than before?
Did you put the belt on secretly?
Brother Fourteen was still unfinished and said, "Brother Ninth, today's roast lamb tastes different from every time. It's sweet and spicy. What's the seasoning?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "It should be with honey added. I'll ask someone to give you some later..."
Brother Fourteen nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, don't forget, you also need some dry ingredients on the pork belly. With these two things, even if the kitchen can make do with it every day, it will be fine."
There is no mutton in the prince's portion, only pork and chicken, but you can spend money on it.
Ever since he learned this, Brother Fourteen has never said anything wrong.
Brother Thirteen also had expectations on his face.
The third elder brother said politely: "Lao Jiu, give some to the head office..."
Brother Jiu thought of San Fujin and immediately shook his head and said, "No, we agreed before that our friendship belongs to our brothers. As for Mrs. Sanbeile, let's forget it!"
"Mrs. Sanbeile...haha..."
Brother Fourteen couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh out loud.
Everyone looked over.
The third elder brother frowned, what's so funny?
Is "Mrs. Three Belles" funny, or is "Three Belles" funny?
The fourteenth elder brother saw that the third elder brother's eyes were wrong, and hurriedly explained: "I just think it's quite fun, but it doesn't sound as decent as the prince Fujin. This title is of great benefit to the brothers, but it is ordinary for the sisters-in-law. We really have to follow the title Wearing clothes looks even simpler than before..."
The third elder brother said: "No need, even Mrs. Baylor is still the prince Fujin."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother and said: "It should be that I didn't ask for the title. Those who didn't ask for the title are the direct descendants of the prince. This can't be wrong."
Speaking of this, he thought of Prince Chun Fujin.
As the legacy of Prince Chun, Prince Chun Fujin could receive half of the prince's salary every year, and his life was much more comfortable than that of other princes.
The year before last, I had been abusing others. Now that I think about it, if I really die young, Shu Shu may not be as comfortable as Prince Chun Fujin.
Khan Amar always pays attention to the superiority of elders and younger ones, so he probably won't posthumously title him Prince Heshuo. Most likely, this will be the end of Dorobele.
In that case, the silver Shu Shu can receive is one thousand two hundred and fifty taels...
Bah bah bah...
Brother Fourteen frowned and said, "This rule is so strange. We all have monthly money, why doesn't Prince Fujin have monthly money?"
The third elder brother said: "Didn't you bring a dowry?"
Brother Fourteen shook his head and said, "But isn't it a man's responsibility to support his family?"
The third elder brother said: "The daily expenses are paid by the accountant, and no one stops the mistress from spending money."
The fourteenth elder brother said: "That's not good. What's wrong with the lavish spending? When I have Fu Jin in the future, I will give her half of the monthly money. That's what a man is..."
The fourteenth elder brother knew that the third elder brother was stingy, so he said this deliberately.
The third elder brother thought that his wife was lavish, and if Baylor had given her half of her salary, she would have spent it carelessly.
He ignored Brother Fourteen's words and looked at Brother Nine.
I have to get this money back, otherwise I will be constrained by Lao Jiu.
Afraid of offending Lao Jiu, this brother-in-law brother-in-law is just holding his breath and holding his breath again and again.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Ninth Brother said: "Tomorrow is to meet the fourth sister, so I will set a date for four days later. At that time, I will invite all the brothers to come over and pay back last year's 'borrowed money'..."
The room suddenly became quiet.
The third elder brother started to breathe carefully. It seemed that the money was almost collected.
But all the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Xiaotangshan have been sold?
Are the clan members so rich?
Or was it the Dong E family who helped sell it among the nobles?
The third elder brother was burning in his heart. In addition to caring about how much profit he could share, he was even more concerned about how much money the ninth elder brother could have left.
Seeing the third elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother somewhat understood why the ninth elder brother was anxious to pay back the money.
If I don't pay back the money, no matter how annoying this brother is, I can only endure it. It's better to cut it off early and let everything go as I please.
But it might be inconvenient to raise so much money at once...
He said: "My brother doesn't have much money to spend, I can just pay back my share later."
Brother Fourteen said with bright eyes: "I have no use for the money, and Brother Ninth doesn't have to pay it back in a hurry, but I just want to know the number. Brother Ninth, how much bonus do you plan to give us? Do you have 10%?" , or 20%?”
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said, "Keep it a secret! You'll know when everyone knows everything in a few days!"
Just looking at his complacency, I knew he couldn't hold back 10% or 20%.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Brother Fourteen couldn't help laughing and said: "Any amount is fine. It only takes a few months to earn more monthly money for several years. Following Brother Ninth is indeed an advantage, not to mention the good food and drink. You can still make money along the way..."
The Thirteenth Brother also had a smile on his face. The more they shared, it meant that the Ninth Brother earned more, which was good.
As for the brothers, they gave a lot of points for overpaying and a few points for underpaying, which is also in line with Brother Ninth's words, "Good people are rewarded."
The third elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother as if he were looking at two fools.
If he didn't know that the land price in Xiaotangshan would double, he would only be happy this time.
It's true that money begets money. He took 150,000 taels of silver, and after 20% of it, he still had 30,000 taels.
It is twelve times his Baylor annual salary!
But knowing that the land price in Xiaotangshan had doubled, he felt unhappy.
What does 10% or 20% count?
Excluding various expenses and the remaining land, the profit would still be over 50% even if it did not double.
Lao Jiu, a money dealer, used the brothers' hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as capital, and could earn at least three to four hundred thousand taels.
Spend hundreds of thousands to send the brothers away?
Do you have more than two hundred thousand left?
The wealth of a prince's divided family has been revealed!
This is too beautiful!
He was unwilling to give in.
I decided to go to the eldest brother and the fourth brother tomorrow to have a good chat about the profit distribution issue.
If Lao Jiu really has a conscience, he should be evenly matched with these brothers!
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers didn't think so much.
The fourteenth elder brother has already pulled the ninth elder brother and said: "Ninth elder brother, has all the land in Xiaotang Mountain been sold? Is there a hilltop without a spring? The land price is cheap. I want to buy about a hundred acres and make a small village. Asking people to raise pigs and chickens, if you wait for your younger brother to divide the house, who knows when..."
The previous wave of older princes' branch houses were full of elders, while the younger elders were still waiting to vacate the house.
When it comes to the 13th and 14th princes, it’s all over the place.
There are plenty of empty houses, so there is no need to make room for them.
Brother Jiu said: "It is true, but in order not to lower the market price, my brothers bought their land at a high price. You don't have a spring, it is cheaper than theirs, but you won't buy it at the original price..."
After hearing this, Brother Fourteen was a little worried that the money was not enough, and said: "How much does it cost for one hundred acres? If there is too much money, fifty acres will do."
Brother Jiu did the math in his mind and said, "Five or six taels of silver per acre, maybe."
Those were forest lands without springs. When I bought them, they only cost two or three taels of silver per acre.
However, there are brothers who are dragging the price ahead, so we can't lower the price for them. The good land prices in the surrounding area are three times, and only the not-so-good ones are twice as much.
When the time comes, we can ask someone to deliver some stones, and the cost of building a house will be much less.
After hearing this, the Fourteenth Brother immediately became angry and said: "It's so cheap. If you come to 200 acres, you can also ask people to raise pigs..."
With that said, he encouraged Brother Thirteen and said: "Brother Thirteen, please come to 200 acres. Then we can raise chickens and pigs. We will also go to Qianqing Palace to pay filial piety, and we can also pay filial piety to our concubines a few times." Woolen cloth……"
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Is it convenient for the ninth elder brother? If it is convenient, I will come to 200 acres."
Brother Jiu said: "Why is it inconvenient? Come on then. We just happened to have an orchard and a greenhouse there, and we can find two pieces of land for you there."
The third elder brother was standing by, looking at the ninth elder brother and scolding him endlessly.
Only then did I realize that Lao Jiu was so dark-hearted and thick-skinned.
When two teenage brothers want to buy land, they have to get a hand from one of them.
The key is that the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are not aware yet.
Isn't this bullying?
The ninth elder brother noticed the third elder brother's gaze, looked over, and said: "Third elder brother, do you also want to come to 200 acres?"
The third elder brother hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, the old ones haven't come together to understand the inheritance given by Khan Amma before. That's enough..."
Brother Jiu didn't force him either.
When it was time to hold the lantern, the third elder brother and others all left.
Brother Jiu returned to the main room and drank two glasses of cold water.
The roasted coriander was delicious today, but he didn't use lotus leaf cake and ate it directly, which was a bit salty.
After drinking the water, Brother Jiu told Shu Shu about the treat.
Today is May 16th, I will send a message tomorrow, and the banquet time will be May 20th.
Who knows, most of the people here are brothers. Although they are our own people, they still have to follow the rules of treating guests seriously.
Shu Shu said: "Have you collected all the banknotes? If not, I still have some here. I can take it and use it first."
The wealth of each prince's mansion is controlled by them. This is not good. It's better to get up early.
Brother Jiu said: "It's all done, but our advantage hasn't come out yet, it's all on the ground."
Shu Shu said: "It's good. There is no place to spend money. When the palace is built, the land price will rise again..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Before I distribute the money, I will go to Qingxi Bookstore and pay back Khan Ama's money first."
Shu Shu said: "If I can be rich this time, I will also give you my money; if I am not rich, I will give some first and make up for the rest, so that my wife will not have a lot of money..."
Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, I know what I have in mind. I'll pay back the capital from the empress, and Li will stay and continue to make money..."
It's not that they can't subsidize the situation privately, but there are still Fifth Elder Brother and his wife here, so it's hard to do too much.
This money begets money, which sounds more legitimate than filial piety alone.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I have thought carefully..."
