Seeing Jia Zheng looking at him, Jia Zhen smiled and said, "My side of the house is not as good as this side, since my grandfather, there has been no big progress." After the little nephew took charge of the family all these years, he didn't achieve anything, not to mention that he didn't add a little benefit, and he spent a lot of money in vain. In addition, my father begged the immortals and spent a lot of money every year, so I can't take out much......

Although he had expected it, Jia Zheng was still a little embarrassed, and reluctantly asked, "Then, I don't know how much Zhen'er can move?" ”

"Here, after my nephew goes back, he will carefully count the treasury, and if he gets together, he may be able to find forty or fifty thousand silver out, and if he wants more, I am afraid that he can only sell his business......"

Jia Zhen said sincerely.

Forty or fifty thousand pieces of silver is a lot of money for most families in the world. In this world, silver is a good thing, and twenty taels is enough for ordinary people to have food and clothing for a year.

If it weren't for the glory of the Jia family, he would be reluctant to take out so much silver. You must know that the expenses of Rongguo Mansion are even greater than those in his mansion, and the foundation of the two mansions is similar.

Although this time the provincial relatives can let the Rongguo Mansion bathe in the grace of heaven and have unlimited honor, it is also bound to consume all the family resources of the Rongguo Mansion. The silver he gave now never thought that he would be able to get it back in the future, so he felt that he was already very righteous when he could grit his teeth and say this amount.

Hmph, as a brother and uncle, the eldest man only took out so much silver, and I have already taken three or four times more, which is already very interesting.

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Zhen's last sentence and felt uncomfortable. What do you say about selling business...... He Rongguofu is not ready to sell his business, can he let Ning Guofu become a provincial relative?

Therefore, although he guessed that Ning Guofu definitely had more than just a little surplus silver left, he couldn't say anything.

"In this case, the poor silver is really a bit too much, I'm afraid I can't build according to Mr. Shanziye's drawings......"

Jia Zheng is a little decadent.

Before this incident, he had always felt that his family was quite wealthy, and he had never worried about the matter of silver. Now he can be regarded as having tasted the taste of a hero who is hard to beat a penny.

Jia Zhen said: "Master may wish to ask Shanziye again, can the cost of building a garden be reduced, after all, this suddenly has to come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and it is not easy for anyone's family." ”

Jia Zheng shook his head: "I have asked repeatedly, the reception arrangements required by the provincial relatives can be reduced and exempted from some unnecessary, but Niangniang's palace really has every old precedent to be found, and it can't be faked at all......

If this matter is done badly, not only will my mother's face be dull, but my entire Jia family will also lose face. ”

Jia Zhen also agreed with this, as the head of the Jia family, of course, he hoped that the Jia family would be as beautiful as possible, thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said: "If it doesn't work, you might as well discuss it with the old lady, she has been an old feudal monarch for decades, maybe there is a way......"

"No, how can this be done by the Son of Man!"

Before Jia Zhen finished speaking, Jia Zheng categorically refused. He understood what Jia Zhen meant, Jia Mugui is the Duchess of Rongguo, and the ancestor of the Jia family, who has enjoyed wealth for decades, and countless people have flattered and filial piety in action, and there is no place to spend money.

"What the master said is that the nephew wants to be bad, and this kind of thing really shouldn't let her old man worry about it."

Jia Zhen saw Jia Zheng's resolute attitude and regretted it in her heart. If Jia's mother is willing to contribute, then even if it is not enough, it will not be too bad, and it will be easier to find a way to raise it.

It's just that Jia Zheng is unwilling, and he doesn't dare to instigate it. Otherwise, if it spreads, he can't stand a disrespectful and unfilial name.

Anyway, in this matter, Jia Zheng should be the one who should be worried about the most, he just gives advice from the side.

Jia Zhen stopped talking, the scene fell silent for a while, and everyone was thinking of a plan.

Jia Baoyu was on the side and didn't speak.

He didn't know why the Jia family needed so much silver to build the Grand View Garden, and it didn't appear in the original book that the Jia family was stretched thin when building the garden, on the contrary, it was seen that many people were enriching their pockets......

However, in his opinion, this matter is actually not much trouble, although he is also a poor ghost now, but with the foundation of Jiafu, it is not difficult to raise 200,000 taels of silver or something!

Jia Zheng now just wants to be decent and look good, that is, the so-called face-saving thing.

In fact, either on the basis of the existing silver, the grade of the garden will be lowered, or the body will be put down, what antiques in the house, jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc., all valuable but not so necessary things to clean up a few batches, casually tens of thousands of taels of silver, if it is not enough, the grange, the shop these things are more valuable, but also sell a part, it is enough.

It's just that in the eyes of Jia Zheng and others, selling their business is a symbol of decay and an act of unfilial piety, so their eyes are only aimed at the silver.

As everyone knows, for a powerful family like the Jia family, the silver will never be retained, and it will slowly become a fixed family asset in the accumulation of years.

Jia Baoyu naturally didn't want Jia Zheng and the others to choose the first plan, and finally crossed over, he was still thinking about his Grand View Garden, his Yihong Courtyard, how could he bear that the "Dream Land" in his heart was inexplicably downgraded?

Therefore, Jia Baoyu decided to let Jia coup sell his property......

Anyway, even if it is sold now, it is just a different way to invest in the Grand View Garden, and there is no loss to the Jia family as a whole.

Well, it is foreseeable that Jia Zheng will definitely curse, but he believes that he can finally wake up Jia Zheng, which is the easiest and most effective way.

"Sir, I think ......"

Jia Baoyu had just made a start, and the little servant said that there was a person named Li Mu outside the door who asked to see him.

Jia Baoyu was suddenly distracted.

Li Shaoyou? Why did he come to himself?

Although he had doubts, Jia Baoyu still decided to meet him, after all, the two were friends.

Therefore, after asking the little servant to invite people to his study, he asked Jia Zheng to resign.

Jia Zheng asked who Li Mu was, Jia Baoyu replied simply, Jia Zheng didn't say anything else, and let him go.

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Baoyu's back, smiled, and said, "Brother Bao has changed a lot over the past year, and now he can be entertained." ”

Jia Zheng snorted lightly, to be honest, because of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng has heard a lot of praise and flattery from others in the past few months.

Yuan Chun, he has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, as for Jia Baoyu, to be honest, he still has a strong sense of unreality, where is the stubborn and unchanging obstacle in the past?

Many times, Jia Zheng even thinks that this bastard boy who is not afraid of him at all, and even shows that he is smarter than his son at any time, is it really his own son?

Jia Zheng's non-speech was understood by Jia Zhen as wordless pride, he smiled quietly, suddenly thought of something, and said: "My nephew has an idea, I wonder if the master is willing to hear it?" ”

"You say."

"According to what the lord said before, for the mother to build a garden, there is a difference of more than 200,000 taels of silver, even if you add the lord and my side, the shortage is still very huge, and our family naturally can't come up with so much silver.

Since I can't take it out for the time being, the best way is to borrow ......."

Jia Zhengdao: "Who to borrow?" Who could have easily taken so much silver? ”

"Hehe, others naturally can't do it, but Aunt Xue's family, a generation of imperial merchants, for their family, a mere 200,000 taels of silver, it is naturally easy to take out......"

Jia Zhen said with a smile. The Xue family is rich, the Xue family is very rich, not only do they know this, Jia Zhen believes that since the birthday banquet of the Emperor Taishang, it is estimated that people who have a little heart will know.

After all, the golden Buddha gift worth 10,000 taels of gold (10,000 taels of gold refers to 10,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels of gold) was still a lot of topic on the day.

Jia Zheng originally thought that Jia Zhen had some good idea, but it turned out to be this.

To be honest, he had thought about it before, after all, there was a relative of a big money owner living at home, and anyone who was short of silver would subconsciously think of it.

But Jia Zheng finally dispelled the idea, not to mention so much silver, whether the Xue family is willing to borrow it, in terms of etiquette alone, the Xue family has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, not living in their own house, and temporarily living in Jiafu because of their relatives, what kind of trust is this, but you go to someone to borrow silver, and borrow so much when you borrow it, what is the reason?

Isn't it the Jia family taking advantage of the fire to rob it?

In case it doesn't work out, the Xue family will be too careful to move out, not only will the two relatives not be able to do well, but the reputation of the Jia family will also become a joke.

One more thing, Jia Zheng couldn't pull down his face and go to outsiders to borrow silver.

"Zhen'er said it easily, 200,000 silver, no matter who should be cautious, who can lend it easily? Moreover, although the Xue family is quite wealthy, but now that they live in the mansion after all, wouldn't it be coercive to open their mouths at this time? This must not be done. ”

Jia Zheng shook his head blindly.

Jia Zhen knows that Jia Zheng is a little pedantic, this is not good, that is not good, how can it be done?

"The master misunderstood what his nephew meant, and the things in the world may be different in a different way and way.

For example, now, it is naturally inappropriate for us to go to the Xue family in such a vain way and say that we want to borrow silver, but if the Xue family voluntarily funds and lends us silver, then the situation will naturally be different, and maybe we can use this to enhance the relationship between the two families......"

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Jia Zheng was surprised, if there were no conditions, who would voluntarily lend so much silver to others?

Jia Zhen smiled mysteriously: "I heard that Aunt Xue's wife loves Brother Bao very much, if it is ......"
