Don't tell me, this old lady is kind-hearted, and sometimes she is very cute - especially when she is facing herself.
If Jia Mu hadn't made the final move, he would have only been able to get the 50,000 taels of silver given by Jia Mu. The five thousand taels of silver promised by Jia Lian were not very safe.
As for Jia She's 10,000 taels and Jia Zhengxu's 50,000 taels, there is no need to think about it, it is almost impossible to get it.
Jia She stopped talking. It wasn't that he refused to give Jia Zheng's words.
Of course he was willing to give it, but he was too lazy to pay attention to such trivial matters, so Mrs. Wang naturally took care of it.
It's strange that Mrs. Wang would pay so much money to him.
And if they didn't give it, Jia Huan wouldn't drop the price enough to ask them for it.
After all, although the money was promised, it was also given for free. If they didn't give it, you wouldn't be able to come and ask for it, right?
But now that Jia Mu is here, she directly helps him come over.
Jia Huan calculated, Jia Mu fifty thousand, Jia Zheng fifty thousand, Jia She ten thousand, Jia Lian five thousand.
All added together is one hundred and fifteen thousand taels.
In fact, Jia Huan felt that building the Grand View Garden did not actually cost as much as one million taels of silver.
The main reason why Rongguo Mansion has such a high budget is because there are so many moths here.
From the big supervisor at the top to the little supervisor at the bottom, everyone secretly put money into their pockets.
They were afraid of embezzling half of the one million taels of silver.
Therefore, Jia Huan felt that with 600,000 taels of silver, he could almost build the Grand View Garden.
But now, Rongguo Mansion also offered 115,000 taels of silver, and he would be enough to pay 500,000 taels of silver.
I have to pay 500,000 taels to build it myself. If I lend it to Rongguo Mansion, I will not only borrow 500,000 taels, but also pay an additional 50,000 taels, and build a Huifang Garden. After it is built, it will not be my own. It's really the kind that makes you lose money.
And now? I only need to pay five hundred thousand taels of silver. After the construction is completed, the Grand View Garden will be my own, and I will get a large area of land in Rongguo Mansion for free!
Jia Huan was naturally delighted.
He chatted with Jia Mu without saying a word.
Not long after, Jia She sent over 10,000 taels of silver notes with a dark face, Jia Zheng sent 50,000 taels, and Jia Lian sent 5,000 taels.
Jia's mother asked Yuanyang to take out 50,000 taels of silver notes, put them together, and gave them to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan took the 115,000 taels of silver notes and put them into his pocket with a smile.
Then he called everyone and went out to measure the land.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is here now, we must immediately define the territory.
After measuring the land, Jia Huan ordered someone to ask the old man named Shan Ziye to draw the blueprint of the Grand View Garden.
In The Book of Red Mansions, the Grand View Garden was designed by him.
Jia Huan didn't plan to start a new business, it was better to keep the original appearance.
On the other side, Jia Yun was also called in.
Jia Huan ordered Jia Yun to take full responsibility for the construction of the Grand View Garden.
As for the matter of building factories outside Zhuangzi, they had to leave it to the Mohists themselves.
There is no way, there are still too few available people around Jia Huan.
Now if something happens, Jia Yun can only be caught and spun around.
After the drawings were completed, Jia Huan planned to let Jia Yun take full responsibility and invite some people from the Mohist family and a group of craftsmen to come.
As for those small workers, try to use outsiders as much as possible.
People in the Jia family don't use it if they can.
The Jia family has been rich for many years, and even those whose families are poor, most of them maintain their status and cannot afford to lose face.
Therefore, it is better to invite someone from outside.
Only those who know the basics and are down-to-earth and willing to work can be recruited to work.
Jia Huan told Jia Yun that no matter who comes to him, if they can't use it, they won't use it.
If anyone has anything to say, just ask someone to come to him.
Jia Yun agreed and immediately became busy.
After giving the instructions, Jia Huan got up and went to Daiyu's courtyard.
Daiyu was looking at a book of poems in the yard. When she saw Jia Huan coming, she invited him in.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin, during this period, you should not go to Dongfu to find me..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Brother Huan, why is this? Don't you have to leave for a while?"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "No, it's because we are building a villa for the relatives. In the next few days, I am afraid that the middle courtyard wall and some houses will be knocked down one by one."
"I'm afraid there's no way to go through the door to the East Mansion. Don't go over there to see me. I'll just ride in a carriage to see you every day."
Lin Daiyu said: "You have to be on duty every day, so you don't need to come to see me every day. Just come once every three or two days."
Jia Huan said with a smile: "Sister Lin, when the wedding villa is built, the eldest sister will not leave the yard empty after the wedding. You will definitely be able to live in it."
"When the time comes, it will be our yard. You can choose it first, and you can live wherever you like."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Isn't this Provincial Family Courtyard built with money from the government here? Why does it become our courtyard?"
After saying that, I realized that what we said about our yard was inappropriate, and Brother Huan got in. He couldn't help but scolded Jia Huan and slapped him on the arm.
Jia Huan chuckled and told what happened at Jia's mother's place just now.
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but marveled after hearing this.
She really didn't expect that the second wife would do this.
But since it was Brother Huan who paid for the construction of the provincial residence.
This courtyard will really be ours from now on!
Pooh! Wherever we come from, we all belong to Brother Huan.
The two talked for a while, and Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I forgot one thing."
Lin Daiyu asked in surprise: "What did you forget?"
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "I moved to Dongfu. Now that I'm far away, I forgot about your diet. I was confused."
"I'll think of an idea when I get back. If it doesn't work, I'll find an empty courtyard in Xifu and assign two people to set up a small kitchen to take care of your food."
Lin Daiyu looked like she was frowning but not frowning, and her eyes were filled with mist and mist.
She chuckled and said, "You don't know yet? Sister-in-law Liu sends people to deliver food to me every day when it's meal time."
"I told her that there was no need to go to so much trouble and that I could just eat here. Sister-in-law Liu just didn't listen."
Hearing this, Jia Huan smiled and said, "That's good. Sister-in-law Liu is actually more thoughtful than me."
"I want to reward her when I go back. If that's the case, that's how it will be from now on."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "You also said that during this period, the provincial residence will be built, and you can't leave in the middle."
"If it is delivered from outside, it will have to go in a big circle, and the food will be cold."
"I know your heart, but why am I so squeamish? If I don't eat Jiangnan food in the past few months, my patience will pass."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "That can't be done. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. What if you starve and lose weight? You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me."
