After all, the current Rongguo Mansion is the head of the house.
Whether it is Jia She, the nominal leader, or Wang Xifeng, who is actually in power, in order not to pay out money, they would rather give up their place for free than give up the management rights of the other courtyard.
They thought it was just a garden, and when they remembered it occasionally, they could just go and play.
Since it is agreed that the gardens belong to two families, who manages them is not the same.
As long as we don't have to pay, everything doesn't matter. In the future, the management of the yard will also require a lot of people and supplies. Even if it's not much, it's still money.
Although Mrs. Wang had ideas, seeing that both Jia She and Wang Xifeng had withdrawn, she was even more helpless.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up and give up the management rights of the provincial villa.
"Old lady, we can't afford to build a family villa ourselves. We don't want this management right anymore. Whoever wants it can take it."
Jia Mu nodded, glanced at everyone, and understood what everyone was thinking.
Turning to look at Jia Cong, he said: "Brother Cong, since it was you who came up with the idea, no one in Rong Mansion wants this management right now, so you are the only one left. What are you going to do?" ?”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, my grandson's words are just words and words. Since no one is willing to pay, then I will pay for the construction myself. From now on, I will have the management rights of this provincial Qingyuan. It will belong to our Ning Mansion."
After hearing Jia Cong's words, everyone felt relieved.
Now that the matter is done and you don’t have to pay for it yourself, there’s nothing better than that.
At the same time, he was also surprised by Jia Cong's financial resources.
That was 800,000 taels of silver, not a small amount. This guy agreed without blinking an eye.
Although I already knew that this kid was rich, I didn't expect that he would be so rich. He was really wealthy.
Whether it was Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, or Wang Xifeng, they were all jealous.
Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction. It was enough for her that this matter could be solved satisfactorily. She was older now and she didn't want anything else. She just wanted to be able to be in a good position and have some dignity on her face.
But he was also a little surprised by the financial resources of this little grandson.
People in the capital called him the Little God of Wealth, and I had heard it before, so I thought he only knew how to do business.
Now it seems that this boy is really good at making money. He has made a fortune over the years, and he doesn't even blink when faced with 800,000 taels of silver.
My grandson is really good at everything. The Jia family really has a capable person.
Jia Mu glanced at everyone and said: "Since this is your decision, let's make it so. Brother Cong will be responsible for building the Provincial Family Courtyard, and he will be responsible for managing it in the future. No one can regret it."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the matter was successfully resolved.
Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Cong, are you going to use the current construction drawings or find someone to design it yourself? The construction of the provincial residence will also require a lot of people. How do you plan to arrange it?"
Jia Cong said: "Since the second uncle has prepared the design, let's use this one. I still believe in the second uncle's vision.
Since the drawings were designed by Shan Ziye, I want my second uncle to come forward and ask Shan Ziye to supervise the work and act as a technical consultant. In addition, I will invite a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry who are good at building gardens to be responsible for the construction. "
When Jia Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"It's no problem to hire Shan Ziye. It's probably a bit difficult to hire craftsmen. Recently, many families are planning to build provincial villas, and they will probably pay attention to these craftsmen. If the higher-ups agree, there's nothing I can do."
Jia Cong remembered that he and Cao Yi, Minister of Industry, also knew each other, so he could go find him.
I'm sure he won't refuse such a small thing.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong said: "I have dealt with Cao Yi, the Minister of Industry. I will go find him. He should give me this face. Then the second uncle will be responsible for selecting a few good craftsmen."
Jia Zheng said: "In this case there will be no problem, but you have to hurry up, otherwise all the good craftsmen will be chosen by others."
Jia Cong said: "Well, I will go find him tomorrow and find the craftsman as soon as possible."
Wang Xifeng saw that the matter had been settled, and the benefits of such a large sum of money were huge, so she couldn't help but start thinking carefully.
"Brother Cong, such a big project cannot be completed in a day or two. It will take at least half a year. You have court errands and you can't watch it every day. How about my sister-in-law help you take care of it?"
When Jia Cong heard this, he knew what the girl was up to.
It's nothing more than trying to get some benefits out of it. It's really crazy to think about money.
Now that they are not short of money, they are still trying so hard to get money. They are really obsessed with money.
After so many years of development, Jia's Mining has spread to seven or eight cities. The annual dividends are 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver. Adding in other income, the two of them must have at least 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver.
Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, it's okay for you to take care of the housekeeper at home, but don't interfere with outside affairs. Besides, it's not appropriate for you to show up in public, so don't get involved."
Wang Xifeng said: "It's not appropriate for me to step in and let your second brother take care of it for you. That's okay. Besides, such a big project requires a lot of materials and a lot of stewards to help with the purchase. My sister-in-law can arrange some for you." Individuals, let them help with things.”
Jia Cong smiled, this girl is really persistent.
It's okay to let Jia Lian take care of it. Jia Lian is also good at these things, so he feels more at ease than using others.
"It would be best if my second brother could spare some time. I would feel more at ease with you watching over me, but this time is probably not short. Is it okay for the mining company to leave you?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "The mining side is on the right track. It doesn't matter whether I am here or not. Since Brother Cong trusts me, I will help you take care of it. I am quite good at these things."
Mrs. Wang said: "I also have a few stewards here, let them help, the construction will be faster if there are more people."
Jia Zheng said: "My disciples can also come over to help and let them be responsible for keeping accounts. It is still possible to buy and sell things."
Damn it, just take advantage of their retainers. They have no ability other than flattery and accompany Jia Zheng to talk about literature and poetry. Just like his name, you will get the glory.
However, Jia Cong did not refuse. Come if you want. They will never let them get their hands on money.
It's not that easy to do things for yourself. If you want to get benefits easily, there is no way.
Seeing Mrs. Xing also looking eager to try, she wanted to ask for favors.
Jia Cong said directly: "Brother Lian and I will discuss an employment plan. We will post which positions are needed at that time and recruit among the two governments. Your people can apply directly.
I declare in advance that if you want to make money, don't come. My money is not that easy to get. Once I find out, I will confiscate your home and kill them outright. I will not lose money to those who work seriously. , when the other courtyard is completed, I will reward individuals based on their performance.
In addition, I will let my caravan and fleet, as well as the Xue family's caravan, be responsible for the purchase. In this case, it will be much cheaper than buying directly in the capital, and I should be able to save some money. "
Jia Mu said: "This is good. The Xue family should discuss it carefully with them. This will delay their business after all."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady. The Xue family has been doing business with Brother Cong these years and has made a lot of money. Brother Xue has been bragging a lot. To Brother Cong, this matter is nothing like it." thing."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The Xue family has shops all over the place. Letting them help purchase things is not only fast, but also cheap. It cuts out the price differences between middlemen and is much better than asking the managers to come out and buy things." .”
Wang Xifeng said: "Brother Cong, if you are such a rich man, do you still care about a small amount of money?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, this is not a small amount of money. If you ask the steward of your house to help buy it, at least 20% of the money will fall into the pockets of outsiders and their pockets. I am talking about this to the young master. "
Wang Xifeng smiled and did not refute.
She has long learned the virtues of the people here.
Most of the stewards all have a backing, either from the old lady or from Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. After all the housekeepers returned to the main room, Jia She and Mrs. Xing also arranged for several stewards to come in.
As a junior, I can't be cruel to those in charge because of their face.
She didn't have the confidence like Jia Cong, so she directly cleaned up the Dongfu and even killed a steward.
Sometimes, you can only turn one eye or close one eye.
Jia Mu said: "Okay, now that it has been decided, you should hurry up and make preparations and try to build the provincial residence as soon as possible. You all go and work. Brother Cong, you can stay here for a while."
Seeing everyone leaving, Jia Mu said, "Brother Cong, eight hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Do you really have no problem? How about I give you fifty thousand taels?"
Unexpectedly, the old lady stopped him because of this matter.
Whether it's true or false, it's very rare to have this kind of heart.
It's not in vain that he has always been filial to her.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, you'd better keep the money for yourself. I'll let the caravan be responsible for the purchase. It shouldn't cost that much. I've also made some money over the years. Although I spent a lot, the construction department said goodbye." The hospital should be enough.”

Seeing Jia Cong say this, Jia Mu no longer insisted.
It was not easy for her to save the coffin book. The money was in her own hands, and it was convenient for her to spend it when she needed it urgently.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "You bastard, what do you think? Even if you only pay 450,000 taels of silver according to the plan they discussed, it would be better now. You can pay 800,000 taels yourself. The management rights Is it really that important?
Even if you don’t have management rights and want to go for a walk, it’s not the same as going for a walk. What’s the point of managing a garden? Although you won the management rights this time, you lost a lot of money. Tell yourself, did you lose or make a profit? "
Jia Cong has already considered this issue.
Being able to control the Grand View Garden in my own hands, spending more money means nothing to me.
When all the sisters move into the courtyard in the future, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Miaoyu will also follow. Otherwise, it will be too empty for Guang Sanchun.
It's fine during the day, but at night it's easy to get scared when there are fewer people.
The big-faced boy won't let him live in the house, so let him stay with the old lady and be filial to her.
The old lady loves him so much, so it's time for him to fulfill her filial piety.
I sent two teams of female guards in and guarded the corner doors on both sides so that outsiders would not be allowed to enter the courtyard.
If two teams of strong women are selected to take charge of night patrol, safety will not be a problem.
At that time, it will be much more convenient for the girls here to go in and hang out.
In fact, if more people live in such a large garden, it will be more popular and lively.
I can't live in it anymore, but I can live in it occasionally.
Jia Cong said: "We are all a family. Whether we lose money or make money, I don't care very much. If everyone doesn't have to spend money, wouldn't everyone be happy? This management right is not very important to me.
This is what I think. After my eldest sister gets married, I will let the sisters at home move into the garden. They are all grown up and will not be able to stay at home for a few more years. Let them have fun in these few years.
I will send two teams of female guards in to take charge of the safety of the garden. Except for our own family, outsiders will not be allowed to enter the garden. My people will be responsible for all matters in the garden, which makes it easier to manage. "
Jia Mu sighed: "Those girls are really lucky to have a brother who loves them like you. With you taking care of them, I feel relieved a lot.
Your idea is quite good. If the garden is idle, let's do it this way. When the time comes, let Baoyu move in and play with his sisters. There will be more people and more fun. "
Jia Cong grinned, expecting this result.
"Old lady, forget it about Baoyu. He is old now and is about to find a wife. It would be a bit shameful to hang out with the sisters anymore. He should make progress at this age.
Besides, the old lady has loved him since he was a child and kept all the good things for him. Now that he is older, he should accompany the old lady and show his filial piety by her side. "
When Jia Mu heard this, she frowned.
He knew Baoyu's temper very well. Seeing that the sisters were all living in the house, he would definitely make a fuss if he was not allowed in.
Judging from Brother Cong's intention, he doesn't want Baoyu to live in it.
This is a bit difficult to deal with. Brother Cong has now accomplished something, and his idea is very good. I don't want to offend him. Each of these are injustices.
"Brother Cong, Baoyu is not even as old as you. Besides, we are all sisters. We have been playing together since childhood. Why are there so many taboos? You also know Baoyu's temperament. If you don't let him in, he will definitely make a fuss. .”
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, I consummated our marriage with Heping'er years ago, and I won't live in the garden. Although Baoyu is younger than me, he slept with the girl in his house a few years ago. He He's no longer a stupid kid who doesn't understand anything.
You can go to the garden to play with his sisters during the day, but you can't live there at night. If he makes a fuss, I will ask my second uncle to take care of him, and you can just leave him alone. "
