Wang Ziteng originally promised to help Jia Zheng gain connections and get promoted, but it has been several months and there has been no movement at all.

Jia Zheng and Jia Mu must have resentments in their hearts.

Although Jia She didn't want to see Jia Zheng doing well, he also felt that the Jia family had lost face, and of course he also had objections to Wang Ziteng.

Jia Lian had no choice but to think that he had told the Wang family anyway, and if it failed in the end, the Wang family's uncle would first find trouble with Shi Zhongkui, who was also his niece's son-in-law.

The next few people talked about how to pay.

Of course Jia She wanted to use the money from the Rongguo Mansion's public account to buy it at first, but Jia's mother said, "That's fine." Jia She immediately understood that if he really used the money from the public account, all the peach trees would be in Jia's hands from now on.

.

He quickly changed his words and said, "That's not appropriate." Then he winked at Jia Zheng.

The two brothers made a tacit understanding that each of them would pay ten thousand taels of silver.

This is equal to the three principals of Rongguo Mansion, each one has one, which is considered fair.

As for Jia Zhen, it's even simpler.

Although the Ningguo Mansion was a bit tight, Jia Zhen could still easily take out the 20,000 taels of silver.

When the Grand View Garden was built, not only one-third of the land was provided by the Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Zhen was forced to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. After that, he did not show the slightest intention to save.

Even because the only person in charge of the Ningguo Mansion is Jia Zhen, with all the power in one hand, the Ningguo Mansion is far better financially than the Rongguo Mansion, which has more serious internal strife and corruption.

However, it was Jia Zhen who really caused trouble.

Rongguo Mansion, on the other hand, was in a deficit and the whole family was almost out of food.

No, maybe the real culprits are Yuan Chun and Wang Ziteng.

After the discussion was completed, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian took 40,000 taels of silver notes and went to see Shi Zhongkui without delay.

After collecting the money, writing the contract, and discussing some details several times, it was finally done.

However, Shi Zhongkui's promises were only for eight years.

In other words, after 8 years, even if he doesn't give the Jia family peaches, there will be no problem legally.

And this is calculated based on farmland income. The Jia family must not have suffered a loss, otherwise Jia Mu, Jia She and others would not agree.

But this is equivalent to the Jia family spending 40,000 taels of silver, and what they enjoy is 250 kilograms of peaches every winter.

But Shi Zhongkui knew very well that after the Jia family got 250 kilograms of peaches every year, apart from eating them themselves, not to mention selling them, it was not enough even to give them to their relatives.

Even after some relatives knew about it, they would come to visit me every year before the Chinese New Year, and even 500 kilograms would not be enough, let alone 250 kilograms.

Moreover, for the sake of face, the Jia family will definitely grit their teeth and persist.

But Shi Zhongkui definitely made a profit, as he found a customer who was willing to spend a lot of money every year to buy peaches in his space, and this customer also paid the money in full in one go.

If this were the case in the Chinese dynasty, this kind of customer would have to be flattered and flattered by the big dogs who feel comfortable.

So much so that he planted two peach trees in the space again.

Twenty pounds of ordinary peaches a day equals 7,300 pounds a year.

Don't tell me that you only have ten peach trees, but 150 are enough.

Of course, this kind of product, which is priced much higher than the normal price, must not be sold for more, otherwise people would not be fools.

The extra can be made into preserves or kept in the space warehouse.

Jia Zhen asked with a smile, "Brother Xian, since we have reached an agreement, can this year's peaches be delivered in time?"

Shi Zhongkui looked at Jia Zhen in surprise, thinking that normal people must understand that this year's peaches have been allocated long ago.

If you ask for it at this time, you must be shrewd and calculating.

But that’s fine, you don’t have to worry about cheating your money.

He said with a straight face, "How about forget it?"

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was obviously annoyed, Jia Lian quickly stood up and persuaded, "Brother, don't be angry, this is not the old lady, the eldest sir, the lord, and Brother Zhen's father Jing Laoye, I miss you a little after eating it."

Brother Zhen also said that out of filial piety and as a last resort."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jia Zhen also stood up and bowed, "My dear brother, please forgive me. It was my brother who was reckless. I will apologize first."

Seeing Jia Zhen bowing deeply to him, Shi Zhongkui felt secretly happy.

He pretended to sigh, "Hey, if it weren't for the fact that my marriage was approaching and I was about to enter the officialdom, I would really be reluctant to part with it."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian laughed secretly in their hearts. They both felt that there was nothing wrong with Shi Zhongkui's words.

This is just like the powerful and gentry who will never sell their land unless forced to do so.

And only then did the two of them understand that Shi Zhongkui wanted money so that he would have money to manage his affairs after entering the officialdom.

When they thought that the Jia family had to give away thousands of taels to the eunuchs every year, the Jia Zhen brothers suddenly felt that Shi Zhongkui was also helpless.

After all, there are some Shangguan who only like money.

Shi Zhongkui added, "I just hope that my good brother can compete with his family members. When they win the title of scholar, we can think of a way to replace the entire hot spring valley."

By then, you won’t have to worry about money anymore.”

Jia Lian's heart moved and he took the opportunity to say, "Since my good brother is short of money, how about my brother go to the Wang family to ask for it?"

Shi Zhongkui is a hundred willing.

The Wang family is definitely richer than the Jia family.

But he knew in his heart that it would be abnormal not to show anger at this time.

He picked up the tea bowl on the coffee table and took a sip without saying anything. Then he took another sip and simply closed his eyes.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian immediately understood that Shi Zhongkui was really angry.

As soon as they went out, Jia Zhen pulled Jia Lian and complained repeatedly, "Lian'er, you are too impatient. Bo Qian was already a little reluctant, and now you want to take the remaining five peach trees from his hands."

If we didn't beat us brothers out, it would be considered a favor to our relatives."
