The purchase of the manor cost 70,000 pounds, and the remaining 30,000 pounds were left by Mr. Bennet as a family deposit, and the other half was given to his daughters as dowries.

Fifteen thousand pounds was divided equally among the five daughters, with each of them being worth three thousand pounds. In addition to the dowry of one thousand pounds that he originally prepared for each daughter, the total dowry for his daughters increased to four thousand pounds for each of them.

This is no longer too little.

Not as good as those extremely rich ladies, but in their class, it can be considered as an upper-middle level.

Well, although Catherine said she would never get married in this life, the dowry money still had to 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 during this trip to sea.

Well, I also want to make more money, and try 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 with whom he had no dealings, so he gave up trying to make money.

But now that my daughter is so ambitious and good at making money, how can I, as a father, do nothing?

I heard from Catherine that the steam engine is a good thing, so why not use the fifteen thousand pounds to invest in steam engine-related industries?

Even if we lose, don't we still have two manors?

The income from Bennet Manor is enough to support their family, but there is much more.

The income from the new manor will only be more, and the money should be reserved for dowries for the daughters.

Mr. Bennet made plans and announced his purchase of the estate to Mrs. Bennet and the ladies.

The ladies all cheered after being surprised.

Only Yin Lisabai and Jane were a little worried.

The two often help Mr. Bennet handle the manor's accounts and know the manor's annual income.

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

Mr. Bennet: "Don't worry, this is the money I earned from investing."

"I know a businessman who went to sea. He spent money to buy some goods and entrusted him to transport them to the distant east for sale. Then he bought the goods from the east and sold them back. This time, he made ten times the price difference."

"So, we now own a manor that is not ancestral property. From now on, your mother will no longer have to worry about being kicked out of Bennet Manor by the heirs."

When Yin Lisabai and Jian heard this, they showed relieved smiles.

Yin Lisabai: "Dad, where is the manor located?"

Mr. Bennet: "It's located in the north of Derbyshire. In the summer, our family can go there to cool off."

"Great!" Lydia cheered.

The Bennet family was discussing going to the new manor, and Jia Huan met with several real power managers in the navy through General Howell's connection.

Jia Huan now looks like a teenager, so these people have no doubt about Jia Huan's gender.

Jia Huan has abundant capital: he has a large amount of funds, and he has stated that he will "support" part of the navy's military expenditures. More importantly, he has hundreds to thousands of people under his command.

With so many people, it would be easy for him to do what he wanted to do.

The navy is afraid of this power and wants this power to belong to them.

Therefore, it became a matter of course to accept Jia Huan into the navy.

Jia Huan entered the navy and obtained a high military rank.

Major!

With money and people, the senior officials in the Navy wanted to win over him, so naturally they gave him a high position.

It's not that someone is unconvinced and wants to cause trouble for Jia Huan.

Jia Huan's pirates raised their weapons and aimed at those people together, and those people were all cowed.

Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend!

After becoming a naval admiral, Jia Huan did not stay on land all year round like other officers, but relied on his status to participate in various dances in high society.

Jia Huan prefers to stay at sea and travel freely on the sea with his men.

Jia Huan led his men to raid many pirate lairs, allowing his men to grow even stronger.

He remembered information about many shipwrecks and knew their approximate locations.

Jia Huan and his men went to salvage the sunken ship, and they fished it out accurately.

They fished out a large amount of sunken treasure.

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

The subordinates were extremely happy and sighed that they had followed the right leader.

The money they have now is enough for them to buy a good property after landing and live a prosperous life.

In short, if you follow Jia Huan, you will have meat to eat.

This made all his subordinates follow Jia Huan wholeheartedly.

Even if Jia Huan's identity as a woman is revealed at this time, these subordinates will not betray Jia Huan and will continue to choose to follow Jia Huan.

Only Jia Huan can bring them such huge benefits.

During this period, naval battles will naturally occur with the navies of other countries.

Jia Huan won every battle.

Relying on his meritorious service in these battles, Jia Huan was promoted again and became lieutenant colonel.

When the plot of Pride and Prejudice officially begins, Jia Huan is already a colonel.

He gave a group of his men a holiday, and they happily returned to the land with the large amount of money they had exchanged for the treasures from sunken ships over the years, and spent and enjoyed themselves lavishly.

Jia Huan returned to Longbourn to watch the plot.

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

He is really curious about Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley.

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

After all, it is related to the happiness of the two sisters.

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

She really didn't want to be watched.

Most of the time, Jia Huan stayed in his room reading.

Her room is on the second floor, with the window facing the door, so she can clearly see people coming in and out.

"Dear Mr. Bennet, have you heard? Netherfield Manor has finally been rented out."

Mrs. Bennet's loud voice came from downstairs.

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

"I heard that it was rented by a young man from the north of England. He is still single, a wealthy bachelor!" At this point, Mrs. Bennet became even more excited. "My dear, a wealthy bachelor who earns four or five dollars a year."

Thousand pounds of income. What a blessing for our daughters!”

"What does it have to do with my daughter?"

"Dear sir, don't you think this is a good candidate for a husband? It would be great if he could marry our daughter."

"I don't think my daughters have to worry about getting married. Just from the dowry I prepared for my daughters, they are the most popular girls in the marriage market."

The steam engine business he invested in has earned him handsome rewards. Coupled with the income from the new estate, his daughters now have a dowry of 10,000 pounds each.
