Jia Huan and his classmates from Wendao Academy have always drunk tea. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is really a little young. Tasting the warm tea in his hand, Jia Huan smiled: "Why do you have such a sense of urgency?" I heard Luo Junzi say yesterday that the results of the enrollment are very good. ”

Zhang Anbo, the chief of the mountain, is currently the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Shuntian. He also took five Xiucai from Wendao Academy by his side to act as staff members and follow along. What could be a better ad?

A good enrollment score actually means a large amount of money coming in.

Du Hong was a white-faced scholar, a little weak, smiled, there was a firm light in his eyes, and said: "The head of the academy trusts me and entrusts me with the matter." I was thinking that I should plan ahead. ”

Jia Huan and Yao Wei both laughed.

Jia Huan pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, you can recruit people and open a brick kiln to burn bricks." ”

The reconstruction of Dongzhuang Town is far from complete. His yard, for example, has not yet been repaired. There is a large demand for masonry. Brick kilns are a labor-intensive industry. The most important thing in Dongzhuang Town now is manpower, and there are many young and strong men. What is lacking is silver, all kinds of supplies, and good land.

It is important to understand one thing, the manufacturing industry generates value, and the service industry and the financial industry transfer value. Jia Huan asked Xianheng Commercial Bank to devote itself to the manufacturing industry and create value. In this way, it is enough to circulate the economic circle of Dongzhuang Town and form a siphon effect.

Du Hong was slightly puzzled, took out a quill pen and paper, and asked Jia Huan for various questions. The quill pen made by Jia Huan has been popularized in the academy because it can write quickly.

After a careful chat, it didn't end until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. At this point, it's already a mess.

Du Hong pondered Jia Huan's thoughts at the dinner table. Jia Huan drank the diet tea and asked Yao Wei with some curiosity, "Brother Yao is interested in the imperial examination, why is he so interested in participating in commercial affairs?" ”

In August last year, almost all of the core disciples of the academy went to the capital to take the academy examination. Yao Wei has performed well in the expansion of Dongzhuang Town.

Yao Wei said with a smile: "Chief, I think the mountain chief and Mr. Lin are too conservative. Over there in Jiangnan, there is no business after the scholar leaves? I'm not afraid of Shilin's reputation, I just want to learn practice. Anyway, if you don't pass the exam, you can still come to the business bank to do things. ”

Jia Huan smiled and shook his head. Fame is still very useful to scholars.

Of course, everyone's choice is different. Jia Huan basically won't persuade in these things. The path is chosen by oneself.

…

Jia Huan did not doubt the execution of the disciples of the academy, and after talking to Du Hong and Yao Wei about the method of opening a brick kiln and the follow-up development plan, he let go and continued to study.

In mid-February, the elder brothers Sun Liang, Luo Xiangyang, and Xu Yinglang asked him to go to Lingshan in early spring, but he refused and continued to study hard.

On February 20, the vernal equinox has passed. The mountains are verdant, and the flowers are red and willow green.

When Jia Huan was studying in the two-story library on the east side of the academy, Ji Cheng hurriedly came and called Jia Huan out, saying, "Head of the Academy, Senior Brother Du asked me to pass on the news, he went to contact your mansion to discuss the business of honeycomb coal, but it was not negotiated. ”

"Oh?" In the cloister outside the library pavilion, mountain birds chirp. Jia Huan was slightly strange. Jia Lian didn't even want to give this face?

The combustion efficiency and heat utilization rate of honeycomb coal are relatively high. Honeycomb coal can be used as fuel for brick kilns. He originally sold the formula of honeycomb coal to Jia Lian cheaply. Therefore, it did not let Xianheng Commercial Company make its own honeycomb coal. In fact, there has been an imitation of such a large coal use market in Beijing for a long time. Now there is no patent law.

Jia Huan wants to be a particular person, and it seems that Jia Lian doesn't give much face.

Jia Huan asked, "What is the reason?" ”

Ji Cheng said: "Senior Brother Du didn't say it. I only said that the second master of your mansion brought a message and said that he would come to the town to visit you in two days. ”

Jia Huan nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "You tell Du Hong to buy it from a honeycomb coal workshop." Don't worry about me. ”

In fact, he did not have the idea of defending the interests of Jiafu. At the beginning, I just thought that I was an acquaintance with Jia Lian, and when I talked about the price, I might be able to get a discount. Since Jia Lian is unwilling, forget it.

Ji Cheng answered and left.

Jia Huan had some doubts in his heart. He is famous in the capital, Jia Lian will not know? Don't even do a profitable business? Jia Lian didn't mix in front of Jia's mother. Jia Lian has enough autonomy in matters outside.

He went back before the Spring Festival and said to Wang Xifeng: Because Jiafu wants to beat him, he will cut off his use in Jiafu. It's actually weird too. Good manner, why do you want to beat me?

…

Doubts are doubts, Jia Huan didn't bother too much, and continued to study step by step.

On February 24, the sky was sunny and the spring was bright.

Two luxurious carriages came from the official road outside Dongzhuang Town, and slowly stopped in front of the scholar's restaurant in the town. The residents of Dongzhuang Town have become accustomed to the rich and noble families from the capital. Recently, I heard that the academy was enrolled, and there were often rich families coming to the town.

Jia Lian and Xue Pan got out of their respective carriages and looked at the bustling town in front of them, slightly amazed. The two of them humbly said a few words and went upstairs with a smile.

Jia Lian was wearing a sky-blue robe, holding a folding fan, handsome and chic, sat in the private room, and sent his henchman Zhao'er to invite Jia Huan to eat and drink. Then, laugh and talk with Xue Da Fool. Looking at Xue Pan's short round face, his heart was a little crooked.

He and Xue Pan, the dumb overlord, are not the same people on the road. However, today, Xue Dafool didn't know who he heard the news from, so he had to follow him to the western suburbs to see Jia Huan. It's not easy for him to refuse, after all, it's a relative.

Sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals and drinking tea, Xue Pan said with a smile: "This Dongzhuang Town is full of novelty. But the men and horses had to go on their right. Second Brother Lian, I haven't seen Brother Huan in the past two or three years since I came to the house. I really don't know what kind of person it is. Rectify such a town. Terrific. ”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother Huan is a person who can turn stones into gold. He has great ability. Wen Qi came to see Brother Huan today, what is the matter? I've been wondering all the way. Oh, I asked casually, and I don't have to say it if it's inconvenient. ”

Xue Pan, from the text, nickname: Dull Overlord. Of course, he wouldn't say that because Jia Huan instigated his aunt Jia Zheng to beat Baoyu, he was happy. Qin Zhong has now figured out the ethnology of Jiafu, and he may have a chance to succeed.

Xue Pan smiled: "I have something serious to do, I heard my sister talk about the name of Brother Huan, and made a special trip to make friends with him." ”

Jia Lian nodded slightly. He heard Sister Feng say it. Xue Baochai and the brothers and sisters in the house are getting along very well. Those who have come into contact with Jia Huan will know how good he is. Xue Baochai privately praised a few words in front of her brother Xue Pan, which is normal.

Laughing, about half an hour, Jia Huan was late.

It happened that it was close to noon, as the only restaurant in Dongzhuang Town: the scholars and restaurants were crowded, Jia Huan met Boss Lu of Renhe Bookstore under the restaurant, chatted a few words about opening a brick kiln, and then went to the second floor of the restaurant.

Xing'er greeted him early and said with a courteous smile: "The little one asks for the third master." Third master, please come here. ”

Jia Huan smiled, it seems that Jia Lian is going to talk to him about things today, followed Xing'er and Zhao'er to the private room facing the street on the east floor of the second floor, and greeted Jia Lian and Xue Pan, "I've seen Second Brother Lian, Brother Xue." ”

Jia Huan and Jia Lian have not met again since the second negotiation in Zuixianlou. At that time, after negotiating the coal business, Jia Lian was a little embarrassed and left the table early. Jia Huan pulled Lin Xinyuan behind and forcibly pretended to be in front of Liu Guoshan, Chen Jiayun and others.

At this time, the embarrassment in Jia Lian's heart naturally disappeared a long time ago, he came to the town today to find Jia Huan for something, and praised with a smile: "Brother Huan, you are becoming more and more prosperous now." I have heard of your fame in the city. ”

Xue Pan shouted: "I heard about it too. Brother Huan, come and sit. I'm going to make friends with you today. ”

Jia Huan wanted to vomit a little in his heart. He remembered a funny sentence on the Internet: Since I met your sister, I have made up my mind for your brother!

Now, Xue Pan ran over and said, I want to make friends with you. His first reaction was actually to think of the plump beauty of Jiafu: Xue Baochai.

Jia Huan saw Xue Pan for the first time. Anyone who has read Dream of Red Mansions will not ignore this man. Xue Pan is nicknamed the dumb overlord. He is arrogant and domineering, and bullies. forcibly sold Zhen Yinglian (Xiangling) as a concubine, and ordered his subordinates to kill Feng Yuan. Shameless and shameless, like male style.

is such a rich second generation full of cheating atmosphere, Jia Huan doesn't feel the need to make friends with him. Proper pig teammates. Of course, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Jia Huan didn't lose Xue Pan's face on the spot. A few words of greeting.

Immediately, Jia Lian ordered the restaurant to serve wine and food, and the three of them sat down to laugh and talk and eat wine. Jia Huan routinely drinks tea. After drinking for an hour, Jia Lian poured Xue Pan down. Let Xue Pan's elder Ying'er help him to rest in the carriage.

Jia Lian asked for a hot towel, covered his face, sighed, and said to Jia Huan: "Xue Da fool, this wine is good!" I almost can't get down to business. Brother Huan, the fact that honeycomb coal can't be sold to you was ordered by Brother Zhen. ”

He opened a honeycomb coal handicraft workshop, and wanted to introduce honeycomb coal to the mansions of the four kings and eight princes, and he definitely couldn't rely on him alone, but also relied on the help of Jia Zhen, the patriarch of the Jia family. Jia Zhen inherited the title of Ning Guofu: General Weilie. It's not like he only donated a fictitious title of Tongzhi.

What is the relationship between Jia Lian and Jia Zhen? From the sixteenth chapter of the original book, you can get a glimpse of the clues.

Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu to just come back from Yangzhou, and after arriving in the house, Wang Xifeng held a banquet to receive him. After eating, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang came to speak and talked about the construction of the Grand View Garden, "... Uncle has just come home, and he is tired, so he doesn't need to go over to us, and if he has something to say, please come over early tomorrow morning to negotiate. ”

Jia Lian said: "Thank you uncle for your understanding, I won't go....I'll go to the uncle early tomorrow morning to ask for peace, and then discuss the details." ”

Although Jia Zhen and Jia Lian are the same generation. But Jia Lian's treatment of Jia Zhen is somewhat similar to that of an elder. Jia Lian came back from afar, and he had to greet the elders one by one before he was done. And this list of invitations includes Jia Zhen. Of course, just something like that. But it is enough to show that Jia Lian is subservient to Jia Zhen.

Jia Huan frowned slightly, feeling a little bottom in his heart, and asked, "Second Brother Lian, why is this?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "I don't know about this." Let me tell you, it is also Brother Zhen's opinion to propose that the government cut your use. Said it in front of the old lady and the wife. ”

Jia Huan nodded. It seems that Jia Zhen has a lot of opinions about him! (To be continued.) )
