Jia Huan and his classmates at Wendao Academy have always been drinking tea. They are really young. After tasting the warm tea in their hands, Jia Huan smiled and said, "Why is it so urgent? I heard Luo Junzi say yesterday that the admissions results are very good."

The mountain chief Zhang Anbo is currently the left assistant censor and the governor of Shuntian. He also brings five scholars from the Wendao Academy as staff to follow him and do things. Is there any better advertisement than this?

Good recruitment results actually mean a large amount of money.

Du Hong is a white-faced scholar, a little weak, smiled and had a firm light in his eyes, and said, "The head of the institute trusts me and gives me the matter. I am thinking that I should prepare for the future."

Jia Huan and Yao Wei both laughed.

Jia Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you can recruit people and open a brick kiln to burn bricks."

The reconstruction work of Dongzhuang Town is far from completed. For example, his yard has not been repaired yet. There is a large demand for bricks and stones. Brick kilns are labor-intensive industries. The most in Dongzhuang Town now is manpower, and most of them are young and strong men. What they lack is silver, various materials, and fertile land.

One thing we need to understand is that manufacturing generates value, service industry, and financial industry transfers value. Jia Huan must invest in manufacturing and create value. This is enough to allow Dongzhuang Town’s economic circle to circulate and form a siphon effect.

Du Hong was slightly confused, so he took out a quill and paper and asked Jia Huan for various questions. The quill made by Jia Huan can be written quickly, and has been popular in the academy.

I chatted carefully and it didn't end until the night time. At this time, it was already a mess.

Du Hong was thinking about Jia Huan's thoughts at the dinner table. Jia Huan drank the digestive tea and asked Yao Wei curiously, "Brother Yao is interested in the imperial examination, why are he very interested in participating in business?"

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

Yao Wei smiled and said, "The head of the school, I think the chief of the mountain and Mr. Lin are too conservative. In the Jiangnan area, there is no business after leaving the scholar? I am not afraid of the reputation of Shilin, but just thinking about studying and practicing. Anyway, if I fail the exam, I can still come to the business bank to do this way."

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

Of course, everyone has different choices. Jia Huan basically won’t persuade him about these things. The way he chose was himself.

…

Jia Huan had no doubt about the execution ability of the academy disciples. He would open a brick kiln and follow-up development plan with Du Hong. After Yao Wei talked, he let go of his hands and continued to study.

In mid-February, senior brothers Gongsun Liang, Luo Xiangyang and Xu Yinglang asked him to go out for a walk in Lingshan in the early spring season, but he refused and continued to study hard.

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

When Jia Huan was studying in a two-story library on the east side of the academy, Ji Cheng hurried over, called Jia Huan out, and said, "The head of the academy, Senior Brother Du asked me to spread the news. He went to contact the mansion to discuss the business of honeycomb coal without any negotiation."

"Oh?" In the corridor outside the library, mountain birds were singing. Jia Huan was a little strange. Jia Lian refused to give him this little face?

The combustion efficiency and thermal energy utilization rate of honeycomb coal are relatively high. Honeycomb coal can be used in the fuel of brick kilns. He sold the honeycomb coal to Jia Lian at the beginning. Therefore, Xianheng Trading Company did not allow him to make honeycomb coal by himself. In fact, there have been imitations in such a large coal use market in Beijing. There are no patent laws now.

Jia Huan wanted to be a person of particularity, but it seemed that Jia Lian was not very proud of his face.

Jia Huan asked, "What's the reason?"

Ji Cheng said: "Senior Brother Du didn't say that. He only said that the second master of your mansion, Mr. Lian, 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, "Tell me, and change to a honeycomb coal workshop to purchase it. Don't worry about me."

In fact, he did not have the idea of ​​protecting the interests of the Jia family. At the beginning, he just thought that he was an acquaintance with Jia Lian, and when talking about the price, he might be able to get some discounts. Since Jia Lian was unwilling, let's forget it.

Ji Cheng responded and left.

Jia Huan was a little confused. He was famous all over the capital, so how could Jia Lian not know? He didn't do a profitable business? Jia Lian didn't mess with Jia Mu. Jia Lian had enough autonomy in the outside world.

When he went back before the Spring Festival, he told Wang Xifeng: Because the Jia family wanted to hit him, he had to cut off his expenses in the Jia family. This was actually very strange. How could he think of hitting me?

…

No matter how confused he was, Jia Huan didn't have much effort and continued to study step by step.

On February 24th, the sky is clear and the spring is 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. Residents in Dongzhuang Town have become accustomed to the wealthy families coming from the capital. Recently, Wendao Academy recruits students, and wealthy families often come to the town.

Jia Lian and Xue Pan got out of their respective carriages and looked at the bustling town in front of them, and were a little surprised. The two of them gave in a few words and smiled upstairs together.

Jia Lian was wearing a sky blue robe and a folding fan in his hand. He sat in the elegant room and sent his confidant Zhaoer to invite Jia Huan to have a drink. Then, he joked and chatted with the fool Xue. Looking at Xue Pan's short and round face, he felt a little fucked.

He and the daiba King Xue Pan are not on the same path. However, today the fool Xue Dazi heard the news from whom he insisted on following him to see Jia Huan here in the western suburbs. He couldn't refuse, after all, he was a relative.

Sitting at the Eight Immortals Table and drinking tea, Xue Pan smiled and said, "There is novelty everywhere in Dongzhuang Town. People actually have to go to the right. Brother Lian, I have not seen Brother Huan in the past two or three years. I really don't know what kind of person it is. It's amazing to renovate such a town."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother Huan is a person who can turn stones into gold. He has great skills. What's wrong with Wenqi coming to see Brother Huan today? I was puzzled all the way. Oh, I asked casually, and Wenqi is inconvenient, so you can not say it."

Xue Pan, whose courtesy name is Wenqi, is nicknamed: Daibawang. Of course, he would not say that he felt happy because Jia Huan instigated his uncle Jia Zheng to beat Baoyu. Qin Zhong has now given the clan school of the Jia family, and he may have a chance to succeed.

Xue Pan smiled and said, "What's the serious thing about me? I heard my sister talk about the name of Brother Huan and come here to make friends with him."

Jia Lian nodded slightly. He heard Feng Jie'er say that Xue Baochai and her brothers and sisters in the mansion are getting along well. Those who have come into contact with Jia Huan will know his excellence. It is normal for Xue Baochai to praise her brother Xue Pan in private.

While talking and laughing, Jia Huan came late after about half an hour.

It happened to be noon. As the only restaurant in Dongzhuang Town, scholars and restaurants gathered in a tide. Jia Huan met Boss Lu of Renhe Bookstore downstairs. After talking about opening a brick kiln, he went to the second floor of the restaurant.

Xing'er had come to welcome him and smiled attentively: "I'll pay my respects to the third master. Third master, please come here."

Jia Huan smiled. It seemed that Jia Lian was coming to talk to him today. Follow Xing'er and Zhao'er to the private room facing the street east of the second floor, greeted Jia Lian and Xue Pan, "I have met Brother Lian and Brother Xue."

Jia Huan and Jia Lian never met again after the second negotiation of Zuixianlou. At that time, after the coal business was negotiated, Jia Lian was a little embarrassed and left the seat early. Jia Huan pulled Lin Xinyuan to forcefully pretend in front of Liu Guoshan, Chen Jiayun and others.

At this moment, Jia Lian's embarrassment naturally disappeared long ago. He came to the town to find something to do with Jia Huan today, and praised with a smile: "Brother Huan, you are getting more and more prosperous now. I hear your reputation in the city."

Xue Pan shouted loudly: "I heard about it too. Brother Huan, come and sit down. I want to make friends with you today."

Jia Huan felt a little cursed. He remembered a funny sentence on the Internet: Since I met your sister, I have decided to hand over you brother!

Now, Xue Pan ran over and said, I want to make friends with you. His first reaction was actually thinking of the beautiful beauty of the Jia family: Xue Baochai.

This is the first time Jia Huan has seen Xue Pan. Anyone who has read Dream of the Red Chamber will not ignore this person. Xue Pan nicknamed Daibawang. He is arrogant and domineering and bullying others with power. He forced Zhen Yinglian (Xiangling) to be a concubine and ordered his subordinates to beat Feng Yuan to death. He is debauchery and shameless, and likes male style.

Jia Huan doesn't feel that such a rich second-generation full of a scam-like atmosphere is necessary to make friends with him. He is a teammate of pigs. Of course, he doesn't hit the smiley person. Jia Huan doesn't feel ashamed of Xue Pan on the spot. He exchanged a few greetings.

Immediately, Jia Lian ordered the restaurant to have a drink and the three of them sat down and laughed and had a drink. Jia Huan was a regular drinker. After drinking for an hour, Jia Lian used methods to pour Xue Pan over and asked Xue Pan's eldest follower Ying'er to help him go to the carriage to rest.

Jia Lian asked for a hot towel, applied his face, sighed, and said to Jia Huan: "Xue Da Si's drinking well! I almost couldn't tell you the serious business. Brother Huan, the matter that honeycomb coal cannot be sold to you was ordered by Brother Zhen."

He opened a honeycomb coal handicraft workshop and wanted to promote the honeycomb coal to the mansions of the Four Kings and Bagongs. It would definitely not work by himself, but also by Jia Zhen, the head of the Jia family. Jia Zhen inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion: General Wei Lie. Unlike him, he only donated a false title of Tongzhi.

What is the relationship between Jia Lian and Jia Zhen? You can get a glimpse of the clues from the 16th chapter of the original book.

Jia Lian brought Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou and arrived at the mansion. After Wang Xifeng held a banquet. After dinner, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang spoke, talking about the construction of the Grand View Garden. "... The uncle just returned home, so he was exhausted. I don't have to go there. If you have any questions, I'll ask you to come over and discuss it tomorrow morning."

Jia Lian said: "Thank you, my uncle, for your care and understanding, I can't go there... I'll treat you to the uncle tomorrow morning and discuss the details."

Although Jia Zhen and Jia Lian are of the same generation, Jia Lian treats Jia Zhen a bit like an elder. When Jia Lian comes back from afar, he must pay his respects to his elders one by one before he can be finished. This list of greetings includes Jia Zhen. Of course, it is just similar. But it can be seen that Jia Lian surrenders to Jia Zhen.

Jia Huan frowned slightly, and was probably a little relieved in his heart. He asked, "Brother Lian, why is this?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I don't know this. I'll tell you that it was Brother Zhen's opinion to propose that the mansion cut off your expenses. He said it in front of the old lady and the wife."

Jia Huan nodded. It seems that Jia Zhen has a lot of objection to him!
