Chapter 455: Daiyu is in charge
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion.
At this time, Lin Daiyu was sitting in the inner study, looking at the account book in her hand.
Ping'er sat next to her and explained to her from time to time that Lin Daiyu was gradually taking over Ning Guofu.
Zijuan is still sitting on one side, and in the future, Ping'er and Zijuan will help Lin Daiyu take care of the house, and Lin Daiyu only needs to control the overall situation.
Jia Cong took a few days off and decided to accompany Lin Daiyu well, and also accompanied her at this time.
After reading the account book, Lin Daiyu said with some surprise: "I didn't expect our Ningguo Mansion, the family background is so solid, it is really surprising, Brother Cong is really wealthy, Sister Ping'er has also made great contributions over the years, and she is a great hero of our Ningguo Mansion, and I will have to help me manage the family in the future, let Zijuan also take the time to help you, everything is still based on you."
When Ping'er heard this, she completely let go of the apprehension in her heart.
stood up and said with a blessing, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. for your attention, I will definitely help my wife and manage Ning Guofu well, and I will definitely give priority to my wife if there is something, and with Zijuan helping me, I will be more confident."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er has always been very good, we have been sisters for so many years, we all know each other, and we will be sisters for a lifetime in the future, and Sister Ping'er will work hard in the future."
Regarding Lin Daiyu's attitude towards herself, Ping'er is still very happy.
smiled and said, "It is my blessing to be trusted by my wife and entrusted me with important responsibilities, and I have to thank my wife."
As he spoke, he took out another account book, put it in front of Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "That was the treasury account book in the outer courtyard just now, mainly for the daily needs of the family. This is the account book of the treasury of the inner courtyard, and I invite my wife to read it, and the treasury of the inner courtyard is full of high-end items, mainly for our inner courtyard."
Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, after so many years, she didn't know that there was still an inner courtyard warehouse in Ning Guo's mansion.
The main reason is that she doesn't care about this aspect, and she usually doesn't pay attention to these things.
Curiously opened the ledger, and as he read page by page, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his small mouth opened slightly unconsciously. Although I knew that Jia Cong was rich for a long time, I just didn't expect to be so rich.
Lin Daiyu was directly shocked by the collection in the inner library and the amount of silver deposited.
Ginseng that is more than 50 years old alone has been stored for nearly 2,000 catties, and there are more than 10,000 pieces of various colors of excellent mink skins, and more than 2,000 accounts of various colors of excellent fox skins. Dongzhu also has more than 500 catties, all kinds of gems are packed in two large boxes, all kinds of jewelry also have five large boxes, tiger bones, deer antlers, blood ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, but also everything.
In addition, there are some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, various colors of jade, and high-end items for daily needs.
The silver stored in the treasury is as high as fifteen million taels, Lin Daiyu was really stunned when she saw this amount, fifteen million taels of silver, what kind of concept is this?
The annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only so much at most, which is a bit too scary.
Brother Cong has been in business since he was ten years old, and it has been less than ten years now, so wouldn't he be able to earn more than one million taels of silver every year? That's amazing, isn't it?
The point is that this is not all, in terms of expenditure, Jeju Island alone has invested nearly 8 million taels of silver.
There are other payments that are not marked and it is not known where they were spent.
Lin Daiyu gathered her mind for a moment, looked up at Ping'er, and asked, "Is this true?" That's too much, isn't it?"
Zijuan next to her was even more stunned and looked stupid.
Ping'er smiled and said, "This is naturally true, when Ye first started doing business, he made a dozen or two hundred thousand, and we were a little dumbfounded. Later, the Li family wanted to rob us of the soap formula, and under the operation of Grandpa Guo, the Li family suffered a big loss, and that time he earned more than two million taels from the Li family, which scared us at that time. Later, the business got bigger and bigger, and we made more and more money, and slowly we became numb."
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
Brother is the little god of wealth in the capital, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, and it was well deserved, and your means of making money were too powerful, it was a little hard to believe."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "The lady has won the prize, and the simple business can't make so much money, but I made a lot of money in the three years in Liaodong, and I went deep into the rear of the barbarians twice to loot, plus the booty, but it is a lot of money.
In addition, after returning to Beijing, as well as in Yangzhou and Jinling, I raided my home several times in a row, and I also made a lot of money from it. In short, if you follow me in the future, you won't be short of money to spend."
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, you are too bold, you dare to stretch out your hand indiscriminately with the income from the house, you are not afraid of being known by Your Majesty and condemning you?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very careful, usually Qingwen and the others go in first, put away the silver ticket first, although there are some points on the surface, but everyone has a share, and that's mainly for people to see." Copying the house is full of oil and water, and if you don't take it at all, it will make people feel uneasy."
Lin Daiyu nodded, but she wasn't too worried, knowing the existence of Jeju Island, she would go to Jeju Island if it was a big deal.
Zijuan also came to her senses and asked Jia Cong, "Master, can you still make money from fighting? I've heard that many of the soldiers are poor."
Jia Cong smiled: "Of course, not everyone can make money, first you have to win a battle to have loot. If you lose and you can get away with your life, it will be great luck, where is the spoils of war.
Then it is to go to the enemy's sphere of influence to rob, this is also very risky, in the face of the Mongol cavalry, and the barbarian fierceness, the army of the imperial court, generally do not dare to go to the opposite side to rob. The two times I went deep into the barbarian tribe, it was also to take advantage of their front battles, and the main purpose was to shake their morale and make their men withdraw from the front line, not to plunder."
Lin Daiyu said: "This makes sense, listen to my father, the imperial court is now fighting on two fronts, spending countless money and food, but the war situation has not improved at all, and I don't know what the future will be?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Whatever, it's not so easy to hit the capital, there are countless generals in the imperial court, and not all of them are wine bags and rice bags, there are still a lot of capable people, I really can't stand it, isn't there still me." No matter how bad it is, don't we still have Jeju Island?"
Ping'er said: "It's better not to go to the battlefield, a few years ago, we were worried every day at home, there are so many generals in the imperial court, let them go."
Jia Cong said: "As a general of the imperial court, it is not up to me to have the final say, if Your Majesty wants me to go, I can't refuse, if you don't let me go, I can't go if I want to." I shouldn't have been sent to the battlefield unless I had to, so don't worry."
Lin Daiyu's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything more.
Although she wanted to follow Jia Cong, after experiencing the Wajima War, she also knew the cruelty of the battlefield.
If she really faced a big war, no one could predict what kind of situation would happen, and she didn't want Jia Cong to take any more risks, in case of some accidents, how would she live.
Thinking of this, he changed his mind and asked, "Brother Cong, I didn't know about this inner library before, and there is anything else in Ning Guofu that I don't know, you can tell me all now."
Jia Cong said, "There is nothing else, most of the items in this inner library are for your use. By the way, I also have a private library, all of which are some treasures I have collected, and there are mandarin ducks in charge, if you are curious, go and take a look, and if you like it, you can also choose some."
Lin Daiyu said curiously, "Brother Cong, you still have a private treasury? I'm a little curious, what treasures have you collected? Why don't we go and see it now?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look, but you have to be mentally prepared not to drop your jaw."
"Cut, mysterious, I want to see what treasure you are hiding, and you have such a big breath."
Several people stood up, went out of the study, called the mandarin ducks, and came to Jia Cong's private warehouse together.
Walking into the door of the private warehouse, on the Bogu shelves on both sides, the most are all kinds of vivid glass products, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan saw it, and they were directly stunned in place.
There are so many glazed treasures, not to mention thousands, each of which is worth hundreds of thousands of silver.
And this thing is very rare outside, no matter who gets one, it is hidden like a treasure, but there are so many here, how is this possible, where did Brother Cong get it?
Seeing the appearance of the two, Jia Cong smiled and said, "If you like it, you can pick a few, you don't need to be polite to me."
Lin Daiyu was puzzled: "Brother Cong, where did you get this from, how can there be so many?"
Jia Cong said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, these things are all made in our own homes, so it can be said that there are as many as we want. The reason why there are no large quantities of them is sold is that in line with the principle that rare things are expensive, and more than a dozen pieces are sold every year, all of which are sold at high prices."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was taken aback again.
Did you make it yourself? How is this possible.
There are also a few pieces in my house, which were also given by Jia Cong before, and I keep them like treasures.
Looking at Jia Cong in front of him, he became more and more curious, the more he knew, the more he felt that this man was unfathomable, such a baby was actually made by himself, and he had known each other for nearly ten years, and he didn't even know it at all.
I really don't know how many things there are, I don't know.
"Brother Cong, you have done a really good job of secrecy, and you didn't even tell me."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "If this is known, this thing is made by our family, do you think others will pay a high price to buy it?" Now that you know, you are not allowed to tell anyone, no one is allowed to tell."
Zijuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, master, I won't tell others."
Lin Daiyu said: "I naturally know this truth, but I don't know how much else you are hiding from me?"
Jia Cong said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, you don't ask, I don't know where to start with some things, you and I are going to stay together for a lifetime, naturally I won't hide anything from you, and you will know it slowly in the future." Let's go, and then we'll see the others."
Lin Daiyu nodded and turned her head to look down.
I saw rows of boxes on the ground on the left, neatly placed together, and there were dozens of them. Lifting the lid of the box, a dazzling golden light came into view, and suddenly it was a box of gold.
I opened a few more boxes, and they were all gold, dozens of boxes of gold, how much does this cost!
At this moment, Lin Daiyu was a little numb, Brother Cong is really an expert at making money, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, he won't be able to spend it in ten lifetimes.
Zijuan muttered, "With so much gold, the girl really found a golden beetle son-in-law."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes, is he the son-in-law of the golden beetle?
Lin Daiyu and Ping'er couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Ping'er hadn't been here before, she knew a rough idea, so she wasn't too surprised.
Lin Daiyu looked to the right again, and there were also large boxes one by one, neatly arranged together.
After opening, it is no longer gold, some are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of which are precious treasures of some years. Some are some precious jade, jadeite, and two large boxes of eastern pearls, shining with light, and some miscellaneous things.
On the innermost Bogu shelf, there are wooden boxes one by one, and I don't know what they contain.
Open the top box and see, it is actually a huge ginseng, Meng looks like a small person, and suddenly it is a humanoid ginseng that has reached a thousand years, about a catty.
It is said that seven taels of ginseng, eight taels of treasures, this is already a treasure ginseng, a treasure medicine, and a truly rare treasure.
There were actually seven such treasure ginsengs, which shocked Lin Daiyu again.
She knows how rare this thing is, even if it is a century-old ginseng, it is usually rare.
In the past, the ginseng Yangrong pills made by Jia Mu and others were all less than ten years old, and more than ten years were good things for them.
Since Jia Cong went to Liaodong, he brought back a large amount of ginseng, and Xifu also sent a lot.
There is no shortage of ginseng in the family.
There are dozens of strains of century-old ginseng below, as well as some cherished treasures.
Several of the boxes contained Dongzhu, each the size of a pigeon's egg, with a hazy light on it, which was as big as the string of Dongzhu on his wrist.
It's more than a little bigger than the average Dongzhu.
Such a big Dongzhu is also something that money can't buy.
The surprises were one after another, and Lin Daiyu was already numb.
"Brother Cong, do you still have so many good treasures hidden?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "This thousand-year-old ginseng is too rare, it can be met but not sought, I also got it through special channels, this thing has little effect on ordinary people, but it is a real treasure for us martial arts practitioners. In a few days, I will ask Nian Ci to take a plant and stew it into ginseng soup, and let you try the effect as well."
Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't this be too wasteful? It's a treasure pill."
Jia Cong smiled: "How can we call it waste when we use it ourselves, and it is called waste when we use it for others, this thing is not something that can be bought with money." Before I went to Liaodong, I paid a high price to buy it, and it was difficult to buy even a hundred years old, let alone a thousand years."
Lin Daiyu said happily, "Well, I listen to Brother Cong."
