Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 83 What a Uncle

After listening to Qin Zhong's reassurance, Jia Rong gave up.Said: "This is what you promised yourself. If you want me to know that you don't keep your word, go and find the nun quietly. From now on, you will never want to see that nun again."

Seeing the brothers of the Qin family nodding solemnly, Brother Rong chatted with Mr. Duan Lang again. On the way, he asked Que'er to go to the yard to pick up the Jiangnan cakes sent by the Xue family a few days ago.

"These are Jiangnan's specialties. Although they are not worth a lot, it is rare to eat them once in Shenjing. These days, I have bothered my husband's teaching in Yixue and the supervision of Jingqing, so I took these snacks back to give to him." The family has a taste."

Jia Rong asked Que'er to bring out a small brocade box again, and said to Duan Lang: "I heard that Mr. married not long ago, and our house didn't send a congratulatory gift, so let me make it up."

The box was opened, and there was a large and round South Sea pearl inside.Duan Lang won Juren many years ago. After all, he has already entered the officialdom with one foot, and his family is short of money.It's just that it was the first time I saw a pearl of this size, and I was at a loss for what to do.

"How... how?"

Jia Rong closed the box and put it in Duan Lang's hands, and said with a smile, "Mr. has done a lot of hard work, and I'm just afraid that this small gift will neglect you."

Duan Lang is an honest man, so he could only accept it with a blushing face.I feel a little regretful in my heart, but the purpose of his coming to Jia's Yi School is not for money.He just thought that one day he would be able to join the big ship of Jia's family and find a reliable dock and port for Ansheng, even if he could get a county magistrate of seventh or eighth rank.

Uncle Rong said: "Mr. has been an enlightenment teacher for many children of the Jia family in Yi Xue. How can these students lose money in the future? Our Jia family is not a family of ungrateful people. If there is a suitable opportunity, we will never forget Mr.'s contributions. "

After hearing Uncle Rong's words, Duan Lang was ecstatic and wanted to kneel.

"It's cold on the ground." Jia Rong took him by the arm and said, "Mr. is a teacher of righteousness. Many elders in the clan are students of Mr. How can they do this kind of ritual. Isn't it going to shorten my life? The owner of the righteousness school I am old, and the old Confucians of the Li family are not young, so I still have to rely on my husband to take care of the righteous school. When my husband comes back in the next year, I will go to the ancestral hall to get a punishment whip and use it as a tool. If there are any children of the righteous school who do not listen to the teaching, the husband can whip That's right."

Duan Lang's heart was really turbulent, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.The young Uncle Rong in front of him is really cruel to Yi Xue's children.To use family law to discipline children, this...

Uncle Rong smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed. I just asked Mr. to hang the punishment whip in the school as a deterrent. A noble brother like Bao Erye is usually difficult to control. With the whip of this ancestral hall, he Don't dare to be presumptuous."

After explaining everything to Mr. Duan Lang, Jia Rong went back to her yard through the night.I thought to myself that I was really Jia's lucky star and Baoyu's savior.If this is the case, Baoyu can't learn anything, it can only be a dead wood that is hard to carve.

Brother Rong is facing the complicated situation of Jia's family outside, and is worried every day. How can these brothers from Yixue live a good life?You have to suffer together, otherwise there is no balance in your heart.

"Oh... Uncle Bao, I'm sorry."

…………

On this day, Uncle Rong changed his clothes meticulously, and took the two long-term treasure cars with him and went straight to Wanhualou.

"It's true, little third master. People in Rio will freeze to death on the way to brothels this winter." Jia Rong complained to herself.

In the small courtyard behind Wanhua Building, several guards in plain clothes stood outside the door, and there were only Qiu Jiheng and Xiao Sanye in the room.

The third master asked: "Are you sure that Jia Rong will come?"

Qiu Jiheng replied: "The person who humblely arranged to guard outside the Ningguo Mansion just now reported back. Jia Rong has already boarded the carriage and is coming this way."

The little third master nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Qiu Jiheng's actions.He said lightly: "Have you already inquired clearly? How much cement can the cement kiln in Ningguo Mansion produce every month?"

Qiu Jiheng said: "This matter is not a secret in Beijing. According to the people at the Zhongshun Wang Manor that day, Jia Rong once reported to the present that now he can produce [-] stones of cement every month, and the price of high-quality cement is [-] yuan. One stone, the price of second-class cement is [-] Wen and one stone, and the price of conventional cement is [-] Wen and one stone. If it is required by the Ministry of Industry, it will be [-]% off."

"Only 150 taels per month?" The third master felt a little lost when he heard this, and said lightly, "Even if all of them were sold at a price of 100 taels, it would only be more than [-] taels of silver per month. The wages and raw materials have not been converted into it." Yes, is the cement kiln in Ningguo Mansion really profitable?"

Qiu Jiheng explained: "This is just the monthly profit of a small kiln in Ningguo Mansion. If the third master gets the prescription and builds a large kiln with a monthly output of thousands of stones, it will be at least 1000 taels of silver per month. If you are outside If we build a few more large kilns like this, the monthly income will be innumerable."

The third master pondered for a while.Well, Qiu Jiheng is right.

If Jia Rong's prescription can be used to build a large kiln, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver can be gained in a year. The more kilns built, the more silver.With more money, it's easy to do things!
The prince living in the deep palace is miserable. Although he is a prince, his annual salary is only 2000 taels of silver. Although he is 2000 taels more than other princes, he is still not as good as King Zhongshun's annual 5000 taels of silver.

Being in a high position lacks money to spend.Every year and every month to reward the people below, to manage things in the palace, to please the emperor and the old concubine, there is no surplus of more than 1 taels of silver every year.He wanted to win over some people, but he had nothing to give.

The third master also felt sad.

"Tell me, would Jia Rong be willing to give me the prescription in her hand?"

Who is the third master?
That's the current prince!Today, on the first day of his ascension to the throne, he was established as the existence of the prince, the future emperor of Dayan.Qiu Jiheng thought, unless Jia Rong lost his mind, he would refuse the future emperor's request.

Qiu Jiheng flattered and said: "If you are humble, let alone a small cement prescription, even if it is a bigger benefit item, you are willing to give it to the third master. As long as Jia Rong is not stupid, she will not refuse the third master."

After hearing what Qiu Jiheng said, the third master nodded in agreement.I didn't ask too much, I just asked Jia Rong to share the recipe with me, and I didn't want to grab him.

Jia Rong didn't know what the prince was thinking, so when he entered the Wanhua Building, a guard who knew him searched him and invited him to enter the small courtyard behind.

Hey?
It's pretty much the same thing.

Jia Rong is also someone who has seen big scenes now, and she looks not worried.He ordered the long follower to wait outside the courtyard, and went in with the guard himself.

Brother Rong had just entered the yard when he saw a man in a Chinese dress about his own age approaching him, and said with joy on his face, "You are here, but let me wait impatiently."

He saw that apart from this person, only Qiu Jiheng was left in the room.Thinking that this person should be the prince of this dynasty, he saluted and said: "I have seen Your Highness."

"You don't need to be too polite, you don't need to be too polite." The young third master took Brother Rong's hand very kindly, sat down at the same table with him, and said: "You and my two families have been close since the Taizu, and the Taishang Emperor and Daishan A father-in-law is like a brother, according to the folk saying, you should call me Uncle Shi."
