Seventy thousand pounds were spent on the purchase of the estate, and the remaining thirty thousand pounds were left, half of which Mr. Bennet kept as a family deposit and the other half as a dowry for his daughters.

Fifteen thousand pounds were divided equally among the five daughters, three thousand pounds each, and together with the one thousand pounds he had originally prepared for each of his daughters, the dowry of his daughters increased to four thousand pounds each.

That's not a small amount.

It's not as good as those particularly rich ladies, but in their class, it's also considered to be at the upper middle level.

Well, although Catherine said that she would not marry in her life, the dowry money would still be given to her.

She is his daughter, and he will treat all his daughters equally.

Although he knew that Catherine would not care about the four thousand pounds.

Catherine must have earned more on this trip.

Well, I also want to make more money myself, and strive to earn more dowry money for my daughters.

In the past, he had no sons, and the ancestral property would be inherited by the sons of relatives who did not deal with him, so he gave up trying to make money.

But now, daughters are so competitive and so good at making money, how can they be salted fish as a father?

Listen to Catherine say that the steam engine is a good thing, so why not use the fifteen thousand pounds to invest in the steam engine-related industry?

Even if you lose it, aren't there still two estates?

The income from Bennet's estate was enough for the family, and much more.

The income from the new estate will only be more, and the money will be kept for the daughters as a dowry.

Mr. Bennet made plans and announced to Mrs. Bennet and the ladies that he had purchased the estate.

The ladies were amazed and cheered.

Only Elizabeth Yin and Jane were a little worried.

The two often helped Mr. Bennet with the accounts of the estate and knew how much the estate was earning for a year.

How can his family have the money to buy a manor?

Mr. Bennet: "Don't worry, it's money I made from my investment. ”

"I know a merchant who went to sea, bought some goods for money, entrusted him to transport them to the far East to sell, and then bought the goods from the East and came back to sell. This back and forth, I made a tenfold difference. ”

"So, we have a manor that is not our ancestral property. Your mother will never have to worry about being kicked out of Bennet Manor by her heirs. ”

Yin Lizabeth and Jian Yan smiled reassuringly when they heard this.

Yin Lizabeth: "Dad, where is the manor located?" ”

Mr Bennet: "Located in the north of Derbyshire. In the summer, our family can go there to cool off. ”

"Great!" Lydia cheered.

While the Bennet family was discussing a trip to the new estate, Jia Huan met with several powerful administrators in the navy under Admiral Howell's company.

Jia Huan's appearance now is completely the appearance of a teenager, so these people have no suspicion of Jia Huan's gender at all.

Jia Huan has a lot of capital: he has a lot of money, and he said that he will "support" part of the navy's military spending. What's more, he has hundreds to thousands of people under his command.

With so many people, what he wanted to do was a breeze.

The navy fears this power and wants it to be their own.

As a result, it became a logical thing to accept Jia Huan into the navy.

Jia Huan entered the navy and also received a high rank.

Major!

There are rich people, and the top brass in the navy want to win him over, so naturally he is given a position that is not low.

It's not that someone is unconvinced and wants to find trouble with Jia Huan.

The pirates under Jia Huan raised their weapons and aimed them at those people, and they were all intimidated.

Can't afford to mess with it! Can't afford to mess with it!

After becoming a naval general, Jia Huan did not stay on land all year round like other officers, and participated in various balls in high society with his identity.

Jia Huan prefers to stay at sea and take his men to swim freely on the sea.

Jia Huan led his subordinates to raid the lair of many pirates, making his subordinates grow stronger.

He remembered a lot of information about the wrecks and knew the approximate location of them.

Jia Huan led his men to salvage the sunken ship, one by one.

They fished out a large amount of shipwreck treasure.

Jia Huan kept half of it for himself, and gave the remaining half to his subordinates.

The subordinates were overjoyed, and sighed that they followed the leader.

They now have enough money in their hands to buy a good property and live a prosperous life when they go ashore.

In a word, follow Jia Huan to have meat to eat.

This made a group of subordinates follow Jia Huan with all their hearts.

It was at this time that Jia Huan's identity as a woman was exposed, and these subordinates would not betray Jia Huan, and would continue to choose to follow Jia Huan.

Only Jia Huan can bring them such huge benefits.

During this period, it is natural that naval battles will also occur with the navies of other countries.

In every battle, Jia Huan won.

Relying on the exploits of these battles, Jia Huan was promoted again and became a lieutenant colonel.

And when the plot of Pride and Prejudice officially began, Jia Huan was already a colonel.

He gave his men a vacation, and they happily returned to land with the Dabi silver coins they had exchanged for the treasure of the shipwreck, and spent lavishly to enjoy them.

Jia Huan returned to Longborn to watch the plot.

Even if he had to wear women's clothes, he endured it.

He was genuinely curious about Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley.

After all, he is his destined brother-in-law, and he must understand whether these two people are worthy of respect as described in the book.

After all, it is about the happiness of the two sisters.

Mrs. Bennet was very happy with the return of her fourth daughter, and pulled her to show off everywhere, but Jia Huan refused.

She really didn't want to be watched.

Most of the time, Jia Huan snuggled up in his room and read.

Her room was on the second floor, with the window facing the door, so she could see who was coming in and out.

"Dear Mr. Bennet, have you heard? Netherfield Manor was finally rented out. ”

Mrs. Bennet's loud voice came from downstairs.

Her voice was so penetrating that even the walls and doors could not block her voice.

"I heard that it was rented by a young man from the north of England, and he was still single, a rich bachelor!" Speaking of this, Mrs. Bennet was even more excited, "Honey, a rich bachelor who earns four or five thousand pounds a year. What a blessing to the daughters! ”

"What's the matter with my daughter?"

"Don't you think this is a good husband candidate, dear lord? It would be great if he could marry our daughter. ”

"I don't think my daughter is worried about getting married. The dowry I have prepared for my daughters alone is the most popular girl in the marriage market. ”

He had been paid handsomely for his investment in the steam engine business, and with the income from his new estate, his daughters now had a dowry of ten thousand pounds each.
