"I'm leaving Beijing in two days, so I'll leave the information gathering to you."

Feng Ziying ordered Jia Huan: "Once every three days, give it to Liu Xianglian."

Jia Huan was surprised: "Has Liu Xianglian become the emperor's confidant?"

Feng Ziying: "He is loyal and capable, and the emperor decided to train him."

Jia Huan: "It's really good."

After a pause, he asked: "Where are you going?"

Feng Ziying: "Jiangnan, go buy some things."

"Purchasing?" Jia Huan blinked, "Which method has the Emperor adopted?"

Feng Ziying: "When the emperor sealed the harem, he had already made the decision."

Jia Huan clicked his tongue: "This time, we can take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Feng Ziying: "Thank you for choosing this idea."

The so-called method is for the emperor to ask the concubines to visit their relatives, and let the concubines' natal families build separate courtyards for their marriage, so as to judge the financial resources of these concubines' natal families, and then find ways to deal with these concubines' natal families.

This method was proposed by Kong Weixuan.

After that, Jia Huan had another idea.

Before announcing the establishment of a provincial residence, the emperor asked the emperor to send people to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase cheap wood, stone, various antiques, paintings, and other furnishings, and open a shop in the capital specifically to sell these things.

When the emperor announces that the concubines are planning to get married, the concubines’ natal families will definitely go crazy purchasing wood, stones and furnishings for the garden, and the goods they hoard can be sold at high prices.

It was definitely a huge profit at that time.

As soon as this idea came up, the emperor was tempted, and several of the emperor's confidants who knew about the idea were also tempted.

The emperor pulled several of his confidants to work together, with the emperor taking the majority and the other confidants sharing the soup.

As the person who came up with the idea, Jia Huan naturally became a member of the soup-drinking group.

Of course, he has to pay the cost.

As one of them, Feng Ziying had prepared 50,000 taels of silver notes, plus the silver notes given to him by the emperor and others.

He has a total of one million taels of silver notes on him. If he was robbed...

Jia Huan put away the images in his mind, picked up the tea cup with a smile, and raised it towards Feng Ziying.

"With tea instead of wine, I wish you a safe journey and all the best."

"Thank you."

Feng Ziying left, and all the work of gathering intelligence was handed over to Jia Huan.

Although this job is tedious, it is also interesting, and you can see a lot of gossip.

For example, an official's family was not at peace. In order to replace his eldest daughter as the prince's concubine, his second daughter attacked the eldest daughter before the palace came to propose marriage. The eldest daughter accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by her cousin at home. She had to marry

cousin.

The second daughter thought that she would be the crown prince's concubine, but the palace turned around and proposed marriage to the second daughter's nemesis.

The second daughter made herself sick because of this.

After the officials learned the truth, they married their second daughter to a widower to fill a house and sent her out of Beijing.

Here is a piece of gossip: a certain dandy who likes to visit brothels actually got the disease and passed it on to his wife.

The wife couldn't bear it, so she poisoned the food and took her scumbag husband to die with her.

After the man's family knew the truth, they did not dare to make a big deal out of the matter, so they had no choice but to let the woman's natal family take the daughter they left behind back to their natal family.

By the way, what happens in the homes of these officials and nobles is quite interesting, no worse than the plots in TV series.

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

Perhaps, he can write these things into a script in the future and film them in modern times, and the ratings will definitely not be low.

On the tenth day after Feng Ziying left, the emperor announced his intention to allow the concubines to visit for marriage.

The emperor hypocritically stated that because of his relationship, the concubines in the harem were unable to see their relatives anymore after entering the palace. This caused the two parties to miss each other so much that he, as the emperor, couldn't bear it. For this reason, the emperor granted permission to meet on the 26th of every month.

On the date, please wait and see if the jiaofang scroll belongs to the palace. And the door is opened for convenience. "Except for the grace of entering the palace on the 26th, any house in Chongyu Villa that can stay in the guarded place may as well open it."

Invite the imperial court officials to enter his private residence, and the common people can indulge in their personal relationships with each other, which is the most important thing in family relations."

As soon as this imperial edict came out, many concubines' families were very excited and began to plan to build provincial relatives' homes.

These people don't care about the happiness of their family, what they care about is the honor of the concubine's marriage.

When Rongguo Mansion heard the news, the first thing that came to his mind was how much benefits the Yuanchun visit could bring to Rongguo Mansion.

The masters of Rongning and Ningfu immediately gathered together to discuss the establishment of a provincial residence.

Mother Jia: "It is an honor for a noble concubine to visit the bride, and a separate courtyard for the visit must be built."

Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement: "It must be built."

This is a rare unity of opinion between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law these days.

The others also very much agreed with this idea. Only Jia Huan felt vaguely that something was wrong, but seeing that the elders all agreed, he, a junior, couldn't say anything.

Obviously the emperor is a very frugal person!

Everyone began to discuss how to build a garden.

Jia Zhen generously allocated part of her garden to Jia Yuanchun to build a garden.

Wang Xifeng reported the balance of the government account and sighed. How can he build a garden with this little money?

Mrs. Wang frowned. If Lin Ruhai had died and they had seized the Lin family's millions of wealth, they would no longer have to worry about having no money to build a garden.

Jia Mu sighed, not expecting that Rongguo Mansion was already in such a bad situation.

However, a garden must be built.

Jia Mu: "I will take out one hundred thousand taels of silver from my private treasury. You can also take out some from each of your houses and put them together."

Jia She cried out about poverty: "There is no money for the big house."

Jia's mother was so angry that she wanted to hit Jia She with a teacup.

When Jia Mu's mother-in-law gave her private house to Jia She before she died, how could he have no money?

Jia Mu: "My dear, it is an honor for the whole family to have your wife come to marry you."

Jia She pouted, how much is this honor worth?

I didn't see that Jia Yuanchun, who became a concubine, brought much benefit to the family. On the contrary, she sent more money to the palace.

But Jia She also knew that it would be impossible for him not to pay.

Jia She said: "I am just an uncle, not my biological father. Fifty thousand taels is enough. Let your biological father pay more for the rest. Oh, and my biological mother, but because of the lack of white jade in the East China Sea,

Bed, the Dragon King came to invite King Jinling's family, but there is no shortage of money. Shouldn't he pay more for his own daughter?"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost broke her back molars and wanted to rush up and tear Jia She's mouth open.

But she can't.

Mrs. Wang sat next to Jia She with a dull face.

It is impossible for her to dig into her own private treasury. Even if she does, she will have to make up for it from other places.

Jia Zheng was also very angry at Jia She's words, but he could not respond: "We also have one hundred thousand taels of silver for this house."

Jia Zhen said hurriedly: "Ningguo Mansion will give you 20,000 taels."

He has paid for the land. He has paid enough and cannot pay more.

Even the Jia family is divided into two houses!
