Chapter 944 What is the picture(1/2)
"Your quotes are really lower than the other one."
Wang Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the humble mountain and stone merchants in front of him with a smile.
This is five days after the timber merchants were arrested. Those who are doing mountain stone business in front of them all came over after receiving the notice of Wang Xiao’s bidding for mountain stones.
"These are all the prices." Shanshiyaxing smiled carefully.
There is nothing we can do about it. Although they also hate this kind of bidding, the painful experiences of those timber merchants have sounded the alarm for everyone.
The man in front of him can do anything, and even the matter of stealing the account book is done. Who dares to go against him?
In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, their offer was really a big sale.
"Okay, stay with the lowest quotation and sign the contract. Everyone else is busy, so I won't leave any food."
With Wang Xiao’s operation, all kinds of raw materials for gardening were quickly confirmed.
No one dares to play tricks on this. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he is scared and dares to do so.
It is indeed impossible for the emperor to forcibly search the house, but when Wang Xiao collected the evidence of guilt and handed it over to the emperor, then these people became cattle and sheep.
No one wants to end up being confiscated and exiled to the army.
Isn’t it delicious to enjoy wealth and prosperity, eat and drink, and hold on to you?
Wang Xiao just bought goods for cheaper, and after the matter was completed, he ignored everything.
But the emperor fell in love with the bidding made by Wang Xiao, and from then on, all the projects of the imperial palace had gone through this model.
Although there are still various problems inside, it is also an improvement for this era.
Wang Xiao didn't pay attention to what the emperor did. He found Wang Xifeng and started to settle the score.
"All things cost a total of 164,155 taels of silver."
Wang Xifeng has been in charge of many years and is naturally very familiar with accounts.
After some calculations, the total cost of purchasing various raw materials was quickly concluded.
Wang Xiao, who was lying on the bed, casually said, "The bidding method is used, so the quotation is low. If calculated based on the market price, it will be 200,000."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Even if the materials are 200,000 yuan, the labor is even cheaper. But the forecast cost for your Jia family to get a garden is actually one million taels? This is really interesting. Are you planning to treat me as a sucker, or is there no one in the Jia family able to settle the score?"
In the original work, the Jia family used Lin Daiyu's dowry for the money to start the garden. Of course, after using it, they kicked the other person away.
Of course, it is impossible for all this money to be spent on garden construction, and the actual cost is less than one-third.
Most of the expenses were actually swallowed up by the Jia family.
Not only the members of the Jia family, but also the servants and nannies of the Jia family were full of energy.
If Lin Ruhai had any knowledge under the spring, he would probably not be able to hold back the coffin board.
"This has been like this in the mansion."
Wang Xifeng closed the account book and sighed silently, "The family of several generations has given birth to children, and each of them is determined to make money. I heard that the houses of several big housekeepers can't even pile up the houses of the money. It's a pity that the Jia family's own private center is about to flip up the inner pocket."
What she said was the truth.
The rich slaves of the Jia family looked at each of them respectfully in front of the master. But when they got outside, they were the uncles.
The butlers set up their own houses and built garden pools. There were countless servants, maids, and beautiful wives and concubines in the house.
As for where their money came from, of course it was dug out from the Jia family.
Why the Jia family's income is getting smaller and smaller is naturally because they are all sucked away by these people.
Even they dared to open shops outside under the banner of the Jia family, take charge of lawsuits, distribute stamps, etc.
This was naturally not the case in the past. When Jia Yuan and Jia were in the palace, they practiced military law. Not to mention being greedy, they would beat the board if they did something wrong, and they would even just beheaded by the military law.
By the time of Jia Daishan, things gradually began to change.
The military law was gone, the care was loose, and the servants dared to reach out quietly.
However, there are still concerns at this time, so the scale is not large.
When Jia Daishan died, Jia Mu began to take charge of the family, and the entire Jia family began to lose control.
All Jia Mu thought of Gaole was Gaole, that is, her life was smooth and satisfactory.
It’s good to eat and drink, and as for the Jia family, how can she, a surnamed Shi, care so much about it?
When Mrs. Wang got married, the servant simply let himself go.
From top to bottom, everyone will reach out as long as they have the opportunity.
No matter how much wealth Jia Yuan and Jia Yan leave behind, he cannot withstand the continuous bleeding for so many years.
So now, I can’t even get the money for building a garden, and I have to fight for autumn wind from Wang Xiao.
They were not happy about this. When Wang Xiao said that when he was all responsible, many people cursed behind their backs, saying that he had prevented everyone from getting rich.
It is indeed a fortune. The total cost of building a garden is only about 200,000 taels of silver, and it is not even enough to use so much. But the price they quoted is as high as one million taels.
Such a fortune was cut off by Wang Xiao, who cares whether he is a god or not?
Wang Xifeng put down the account book and leaned against the side, "Many servants of the Jia family were secretly saying that they wanted to make things difficult for you."
"hehe."
Wang Xiao smiled contemptuously, not even bothering to comment.
Just a group of wealthy slaves, who are called turtles in the small pond of the Jia family, and are still good at calling the king. When facing the real dragon, they dare to grin, that is to be looking for death.
Wang Xifeng raised her elbow and looked at Wang Xiao sideways and asked him, "What do you want to do?"
"Um?"
"You have money, but you just spend so much money to the Jia family. What exactly are you trying to do?"
This question has been in Wang Xifeng's mind for a long time, and she really couldn't understand why Wang Xiao did this.
"If you seek wealth and honor, you don't need the Jia family at all. If you seek power, you will be the guest of honor for the emperor with your ability. There are countless noble families in the capital, and they all want to curry favor with you, but you ignore them all. Instead, they favor the Jia family."
Wang Xifeng simply possessed herself and looked at Wang Xiao's eyes condescendingly, "What are you trying to do?"
‘Of course it’s a golden hairpin.’
"Famousness, wealth and wealth are like clouds. I have actually enjoyed something that ordinary people want very much."
Wang Xiao raised his hand and pinched Wang Xifeng's pretty face. "I'm just too bored, so I can find something to do."
He said nothing wrong.
After experiencing so many wishing worlds, Wang Xiao has enjoyed all kinds of enjoyment.
So what Wang Xifeng said before was not attractive to him.
What attracts readers the most in the world of Dream of Red Mansions?
Is it a big baby-faced look that flirts with girls? Is it a sword-like shadow between women? Is it a family's grudge, love and hatred? Or is it a process from prominent to destruction?
None of them.
What is truly attractive is those beauties with different souls, different temperaments, and different destinies and encounters.
Women don’t read the Red Chamber because the core of this obscure and difficult book is these different girls.
When he was in the Dream of the Red Chamber World, Wang Xiao passed by many girls in the Red Chamber due to his identity.
But now that I have come to the world of Daiyu, it is natural that I will not be able to leave any regrets.
The fate of these golden hairpins is more miserable than the other, and it can easily arouse men's desire to protect themselves.
If he has the ability, Wang Xiao certainly wants to save them.
Just like Wang Xifeng in front of you, what a miserable ending of being divorced from his wife and dying of illness in the original work.
Wang Xiao, who has always been sympathetic, could not watch her die?
When men see Dream of Red Mansions, no one likes a scumbag who specializes in flirting with girls, but is irresponsible after flirting with them.
As long as it is a man, he will think about saving the golden hairpin from the fire and water. Wang Xiao is naturally no exception.
The only difference is that the wisher Lin Daiyu attaches more importance to it.
Of course, these words were not something that Wang Xifeng said. So Wang Xiao didn't talk nonsense to her, and just crossed mountains and ridges, overcoming obstacles and starting to venture into the deep valley.
After the Jia family started to build a garden, as Wang Xifeng said before, the servants in the mansion began to find ways to make trouble for Wang Xiao.
The most eye-catching one is that you can’t work hard, or you can’t just be sick.
The Jia family has many children and servants, so they can naturally be used as laborers for work.
But not only did they not work themselves, they also made things difficult for the masters who came to do things, and even blocked the door and prevented others from coming in.
When the incident reached Wang Xiao, he did not rush over and show his power and dealt with all the servants.
Instead, he naturally took out a post and asked someone to send it to Shuntian Mansion.
That’s right, it’s the common method used by noble officials and officials. You can send famous posts to the yamen and ask the yamen to help you do business.
In this era, this kind of thing is simply natural.
