With the development of the business integration of Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu with the popcorn project as the core, Xue Baochai and Qin Keqing's position in the two mansions has been completely consolidated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, it is the winter farming season in the north, and the integration of the farms outside the two provinces has been basically completed.

Through the integration, three major results have been achieved.

The first is to integrate all the land, livestock and other assets of the farm under the management of Xue Baochai and Qin Keqing. The government has direct control over these assets.

Although the accounts are still through the official channel under the management of the housekeeper, the operation and management of the entire economy has been transferred to the hands of the two. Accounts can also be checked at any time.

The second is the land-based contract responsibility system for each farm, and after screening and selection, the contractor has been determined.

Starting next year, the profits will be handed over to Jiafu according to the agreed amount. After handing over the profits of the government, the rest goes to the contractor.

As a result, the two governments have received more regular income than before, and they are no longer responsible for losses.

The third is to recover the land rent owed by each Zhuangzi over the years, and now the two governments have each recovered more than 10,000 taels of silver. Most of the arrears have been recovered.

Those who were unable to repay for a while also made repayment plans.

So far, the reform of the agricultural project has been completed and has been successful.

Reform of shops in the city is also underway. The idea is basically the same as that of an agricultural project, but with a slightly different approach.

The management rights of the stores that were originally in charge of the masters in the house were also unified under the names of Xue Baochai and Qin Keqing.

The businesses under the names of Jia Yu, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. Wang were separated from the business in the house, and they were completely operated by them in the future, and they were responsible for their own profits and losses.

This reform has been widely welcomed and cooperated by all the masters in the government.

Its biggest advantage is that it allows the former personal underground economy to be put on the table, and implements the separation of public and private. Correspondingly, what used to be a sneaky business has now become reasonable and legal. The private money in each room, that is, their own small coffers, can also exist openly and reasonably.

The public finances of the eastern and western provinces have now improved considerably. In addition to the income from the original farms and shops, the new economic growth points are mainly in the three major projects of public transportation, horse-drawn carriages, silk and popcorn.

With the continuous profitability of the three major projects, the life of Jia Fu has become better. Not only has the financial situation of the government improved, but the income level of individuals is also gradually increasing.

The masters began to receive dividends, and the subordinates also received a lot of income from their own labor projects.

The more diligent maid can earn one or two taels of silver a month just by making a lock. This income even exceeds their monthly income.

Men earn more from popcorn projects. Not only the subordinates of Jiafu, but also many relatives and friends of the subordinates also joined this plan.

Some of the more flexible brains have already taken the popcorn machine and began to develop in Zhili, Shandong, Fengtian and even Liaodong.

Letting these people out is very beneficial to the two provinces from an economic point of view.

The first is to save these people's monthly expenses and food and clothing, and the second is that these people can also pay a lot of money.

From the personal point of view of these people, it is also very cost-effective. Their net income is now at least two or three times that of the past.

So far, Jia Min's demographic dividend plan has been successful, and the ensuing income doubling plan has also been successful.

However, the people of Jia Mansion are still a little dissatisfied, that is, they are now beginning to envy Jia Min's training business again.

It only takes a few days and a sum of money to learn, which makes many people rush to it, so business is booming.

People think that this money is simply too easy to make.

However, envy is envy, that is Jia Min's business, and others dare not interfere.

Xue Pan and Jia Rong had planned to imitate it, but they were first warned by Qin Keqing and Baochai, and the two had no choice but to give up.

The life of Jiafu is better, the affairs of the mansion are in charge of Baochai and Qin Keqing in business, and Wang Xifeng is in charge of internal affairs, and all affairs are basically in an orderly state. Therefore, Jia's mother lived a very nourishing life.

She's always a pleasure person, and this time, it's even more so. One day when he was fine, he led a group of female dependents to eat, drink and have fun, so unhappy.

Jiafu was originally a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, but now that Jia Min has won the Wujinshi, he naturally has a reason to celebrate, so Jia's mother ordered a banquet in the house to celebrate Brother Min'er winning the Wujinshi.

On the side of Yeduju, according to the strong request of everyone, Jia Min also ordered a day off to celebrate.

In addition to improving food and eating and drinking to celebrate, Jia Min also took out silver from his private money, regardless of officers and soldiers, one or two silver for each person.

The soldiers were generous and used the money to buy food, clothing, and other supplies, while the more frugal ones collected the money and prepared to send it home in the future.

Although Princess Chang'an scolded Jia Laosi in her heart, she still happily called Lichun to get the money. As soon as the money arrived, he asked Li Chengbin to go out and quietly bought a lot of snacks and came back.

Because you are not allowed to eat snacks in the barracks, you can't put it if you buy too much, and you can't eat it yourself, so you have to give it to your four promises. In the end, even Ping'er and Qingwen were wiped out.

It's just something for the two of them, which is really shabby: three jujubes per person and two plums.

However, for Princess Chang'an, this is already unprecedented. This is the first time I have been able to give my own things to outsiders. And she herself felt that even Jia Laosi didn't give it, and being able to give them something was enough to look up to the two of them.

With the end of the examination and the release of the list, some news about this examination has also spread in the imperial capital.

Among them, the most talked-about is the matter of Ma Shangde, the son of the ruling government who has a high demand for the champion.

This time, Marchand won the sixth place in the exam, and was humiliated in the ring by Jia Min, a disciple of Rongguo Mansion, and was beaten in the ring while composing poems.

Correspondingly, several poems made by Jia Min in the ring are also widely known. In particular, the song "Yongquan" is widely known because it is simple and easy to remember, and it is accompanied by interesting scenes.

This reminds people of Jia Min's previous poems, and of course, his previous famous words are indispensable.

"Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend."

The feud between Jia Min and Marchand is just an interesting story in the eyes of ordinary people. But, in the eyes of others, it's more than just anecdote.

People see it as a feud between two families.

As the topic deepened, people found that the Ma family, who governed the country, had a close relationship with the Zhenguo Gong Niu family, the Liguo Gong Liu family, and the Qi Guo Gong Chen family.

At the same time, the Rongguo Mansion and the Ning Guofu, in addition to being in the same relationship with their in-laws Wang Family, Shi Family and Xue Family, also had a close relationship with the Feng Family, the Chen Family and the Wei Family.

As a result, this dispute has been labeled as a dispute between two major family groups.

Although this statement seems to have some truth on the surface, at least in terms of Jia Min, it is groundless.

The family on his side has never had any premeditated plans for this at the family level.

Even when Jia Mu heard about the incident between Jia Min and Marchand afterwards, she just said: "If you fight, you should fight." "And that's the end of it.

However, this speculation from the outside world is at least reasonable for the Ma family.

Now, in the Governing Mansion, the elders of several families have gathered together.

Ma Qiming, Ma Shangde's father, is currently the deputy envoy of the Beijing camp. Because Wang Ziteng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, was ordered to patrol the border, and now he is acting as the envoy of the Jingying Festival.

Niu Jizong's uncle, Niu Shilang of the military department. Liu Rui, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is the father of Liu Fang. Changping Prefecture garrison Chen Jiayin, Chen Ruiwen's father. Sun Qian, the father of Sun Yaozu, is the father of Sun Yaozu.

These people are all friends of the Ma family, and when they heard about Ma Shangde, they rushed to condole.

claimed to be here to condole, but in fact, where could it be so coincidental that they all happened to come together?

It's just that the Ma family invited it in advance.

Despite the events of Marchand, the atmosphere here is still very relaxed, far from being as gloomy and bleak as outsiders imagine.

The banquet was even very warm, even when the topic of Marchand and Jia Min was discussed, it was a breezy atmosphere.

It is certainly unfortunate that such a thing has happened, but for a family like them, it is not a big deal.

"Brother Liu is here today, I feel very honored, come, I toast you."

Although Ma Qiming is higher in taste than Liu Rui, he usually respects Liu Rui very much.

Although Liu Rui is only an outsider in the Ministry of Rites, he has always been known for his resourcefulness, and among several families, he is willing to ask Liu Rui for an idea when he encounters an undecided matter.

"So thank you, Brother Ma. As for the affairs of the Najia family, we don't have to worry. It's just the end of the test, and there is still a pass to pass the palace test. ”

Seeing that Liu Rui mentioned Jia Min, others knew that this was the main topic of today. So I listened.

"Even if he passes the palace exam, if he doesn't arrive at the Golden Palace, then the qualification of the Jinshi will be cancelled."

Liu Rui pointed out the key point.

The so-called "Golden Palace" is also one of the procedures of the imperial examination.

Two days after the temple examination, the Holy Lord summoned the new priests. On that day, the Jinshi who had already passed the examination had to wear official uniforms and a crown of three branches and nine leaves on their heads, and wait at Tiananmen Square to listen to the page.

Then, along with the princes and hundreds of officials, they entered the Taihe Hall and lined up left and right, and solemnly listened to the names and rankings of the Jinshi who were admitted to the examination.

This is commonly known as the Golden Temple.

If the new Jinshi does not show up at this time, he will be disqualified. His hard work was all in vain.
