Xie Kun returned to the Yamen of the Jinyi Army, began to write the recital, and came to the Daming Palace in the evening and met Emperor Shenglong.

Emperor Sheng Long couldn't help but smile when he looked at the song.

"Heh, Xie Aiqing, the Jia family is quite interesting. The poker Grand Prix, the whole family raised donations, and the house was plastered with slogans, and the movement was not small. ”

"Your Majesty, it's the first time I've seen this kind of situation. Call them nonsense, they still make a serious one. ”

"Let's say they're not messing around, this provincial villa hasn't started yet, so they have created a momentum, and now many people in the city know about it."

"They're here to show me, to let me know they're taking this seriously. How about the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Wu family? ”

"I don't dare to slack off, and they should be preparing in secret. It's just that there is no such big movement. ”

"What do you mean when you say that the Jia family is making up this fundraising ceremony?"

"Presumably, it is to mobilize the whole clan to contribute money and efforts."

In fact, Xie Kun had another answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it all at once. I have to leave an answer for the emperor.

Wouldn't it be too smart to say everything yourself?

It doesn't matter if you're smart, but if you're smarter than the emperor, it matters.

"Hmph, they're crying to me."

"Your Majesty, won't you?"

Xie Kun pretended to be stupid.

"Hehe, think about it, the most one person only donated two hundred and fifty taels, Shi Taijun donated two hundred taels, and those subordinates are only a few hundred taels, so they all come to donate money, how much money can they have? It's only a few thousand taels at most. ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, a few thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for the construction of a provincial villa, and it doesn't help at all. It was still the emperor's eyes like a torch, and he saw through their intentions at a glance. ”

"Xie Aiqing, how much money do you say the Jia family can have?"

How much? Isn't it all written on the fold? What does it mean to ask this again?

After a few quick spins in his mind, Xie Kun decided to stick to his original statement.

"According to Zheng Haoshi, the two of them raised 400,000 taels, and the remaining 1.3 million taels should be the money that Lin Ruhai left to her daughter, and the Jia family may have embezzled the money."

"The Jia family is indeed not as good as before, there are many people who enjoy honor, and there are no planners, but they are just sitting on the mountain."

"You say they don't have much money, but that's pretty much it. If they don't have any people, I'm afraid it's not accurate. The Jia Rui who made up this matter this time is a talent. ”

"By the way, when the emperor said this, the minister remembered it. There is something unusual about this Jarry. ”

"You mean he died for seven days and came back to life?"

It turns out that the emperor even knows about this, and it seems that the emperor has other sources. Fortunately, I brought it up, otherwise, the emperor would have thought that I didn't know and was derelict in my duty.

"It is this matter, the sentence reading method of Wenchang Xingjun, which he proposed. This year, I first won Xiucai, and then I was promoted in Yingtianfu. wrote a poem "Mulan Ci" at the Luming Banquet, which was widely sung. ”

"If life is only as it first sees, I know that this poem is indeed very well written."

"Poker was also his first creation, and according to Zheng, he also has a special kind of number that is very easy and quick to write."

"Special numbers? What does it look like? ”

"The minister is stupid, I haven't seen it yet, and I just learned about it today. But. The minister had already asked Zheng Haoshi to collect it, and it wouldn't be long before there was a response. ”

"When the time comes, I want to see what kind of skills this disciple of Wenchang Xingjun has."

"Obey."

"Although the Jia family's matter is a little ridiculous, it is better to have movement than no movement, and it is difficult for them. Go down. ”

"The minister retired."

Xie Kun came out of the palace and counted as he walked.

It seems that the Jia family is on the right track.

The emperor still likes them to make a noise, so that his reputation can spread.

The Zhou family, the Wu family. The Zheng family didn't expect this step, should they remind them?

Also, do you want to talk to the prince about this?

Forget it, let's let it go. Let's take care of the Wenchang Xingjun number first.

Wenchang Xingjun's disciple, is it real or fake?

Rongguo Mansion, Mengpo Zhai.

Jia Rui, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Shan Ziye, Zhan Guang, and Shan Pingren are studying the patterns of the provincial villa here.

The pattern was drawn by Yamazino, and they had discussed it together before, and everyone agreed to this plan at that time.

But today Jarry opposes the original plan and proposes his own set of plans.

The drawings are also different, and some crooked things are used on it, saying what Wenchang Xingjun number is, no one can understand it, and Jia Rui has to explain it one by one.

It is the imitation Song characters on the drawings, and the writing is relatively standard.

Shan Ziye is an old craftsman who has done projects for many princes and nobles.

This is the first time that his proposal has been rejected.

Being denied by a young man in his twenties is something that has never been done before.

But what Jia Rui said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.

This made him a little frustrated.

"Brother Rui, is it appropriate to change so much?"

Jia Zheng said politely.

Unconsciously, Jia Zheng and the others talked to Jia Rui and were a lot more polite.

Even they don't notice when they developed this habit.

"Second master, to build a provincial villa, of course, we must focus on the usefulness of the mother's mother."

"However, the provincial relatives come back once a year at most, and it only takes a few hours to come. In fact, most of the time, it is idle. ”

"Once the houses and pavilions are built, the money will be smashed inside, and it is impossible to turn it into cash."

"If you put two million taels of silver here, you will never get back this money."

"How many two million taels are there in our house? After the villa is built, someone has to take care of it, and every once in a while, it has to be painted and repaired. The utensils are old and need to be replaced. Flowers and trees have to be tended to, rare birds and animals have to be raised, and forage is needed. ”

"In this way, you have to keep filling it with money. The daily use of the house is a huge amount of money, plus the villa, if we don't get it in terms of money, we will be dragged down. ”

"I mean, as soon as you save money, you cut unnecessary works and construction."

"For example, the construction of the temple is completely unnecessary."

"It's not just that it costs money to build, it's also about bringing in some nuns."

"If you have a nun, you have to make offerings, which is another perennial expense."

"The monastery has to hold some ceremonies, incense, lamp oil, etc., which is also a big expense."

Jia Rui also mentioned the problem of the opera garden.

Originally, it was necessary to build a theater garden, and buy some theaters and teaching from the south, which was another huge expense.

In fact, there is no need to set up a special troupe at all.

If you want to watch a play, you just need to spend money to hire a troupe from the society.

The original plan gave Jia Rui the impression that in addition to meeting the needs of the provincial relatives, it seemed to be more to satisfy the pleasure of the masters of the two provinces.

The current life in Jiafu is already luxurious enough.

If you get a large entertainment city again, Jiafu's finances can no longer support it.

What these masters of Jiafu are playing now is a game that will kill if they are addicted.
