Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 743 Returning to Beijing, Breaking News

The room was completely silent, and several elders and some knowledgeable nephews in the clan were hesitant.

"In fact, we don't need to invest all of it! We can buy shops and mountain land. But we can't cheat our tribe members. We can buy less mountain land and find tribe members to help plant tea trees. This way, the loss will not be too big.

The income from the land can be maintained every year, so the clan is not without income. Even if there is a loss, it is not a complete collapse. "

Young people with some knowledge are very motivated and think it is worth a try.

"But it will take three to five years to harvest, right? If the tea leaves don't grow, wouldn't that be a huge loss? The mountains can't be used to grow food, so if we don't grow tea leaves, the land will be left empty."

These are the conservatives, that is, the older people. They feel really bad about seeing the money being squandered like this.

"I disagree. I think it's too risky."

"I think it's feasible. Since Shiliu Lang proposed it, it's feasible. Think about it! When did Shiliu Lang ever say he wasn't sure? He did this to help the tribe. Otherwise, he could find a mountain to do it himself."

The words of an elder reminded everyone that up to now, Jiang Youzhen’s decisions should not have been wrong.

"The Fugui family is so rich now, Shiliulang has made great contributions. She has a lot of businesses, all of which make money. I think it's feasible, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, there will be surplus money after the harvest this year, so we can save it slowly."

"Yes! Besides, haven't you noticed? Now we all rely on Shiliu Lang, but we haven't given him anything. If he says he will help, then he will help. If he doesn't want to help, then he won't help. There will always be a time when the favor will run out.

Since we can't separate anymore, I think we can grow the tea leaves. Then I'll give Shiliulang a share of the profits and tie him to our boat. He'll have to work hard even if he doesn't want to."

Seventh Uncle used his crutch and felt that tea must be grown and grown well.

"Seventh Uncle's words make a lot of sense. In this case, we should be more courageous and buy all the mountain lands over there, and then find people in the tribe to plant the crops. We should plant the crops first, after all, there are risks." The clan leader clenched his fists, knowing that wealth and honor must be sought through risk.

At present, they want to tie Jiang Youzhen to them, otherwise, when Jiang Youzhen comes back in the future, how can they rely on him? They must keep in close contact.

"Buy all? That's too risky, right?" someone objected.

"Didn't we get through this when our tribe had nothing? Not to mention that we now have thousands of acres of tribe land and we make so much progress every year. What is there to be afraid of?" The tribe leader has made up his mind, but there are still obstacles.

"We've bought them all! What if our tea plants are doing well and someone discovers them and buys out the remaining land?"

"That's right! It's just that the land on the mountain behind is cheap, but the land at the foot of the mountain, although not considered arable land, is not cheap either."

"We'll buy as many as we can! Now is the perfect time to buy tea trees for autumn planting. We've prepared the money from selling the tea trees, and we'll keep some for the tribe's expenses, and the rest will be used to buy land."

At this time, the clan leader made the final decision, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger! It's settled. Let's ask the government to measure it today and ask about the price of the tea trees."

When Jiang Youzhen was having lunch, he heard that the clan leader and his men had already measured the land and were planning to buy 300 mu. Although the wasteland below could not grow much food, the price was far more than one tael, and it would cost about two to four taels.

"I didn't expect the clan leader and his men to act so quickly. However, with so many tea trees, it will not work to just buy from one." Jiang Fugui sighed. The clan leader was still courageous. If it were him, he might not dare to do so.

"Since the clan leader has made the decision, I can't just stand by and watch. I have to contribute as well."

Jiang Youzhen then told Qinglang to take a copy of his post to the clan leader. With this post, the business negotiations would be different.

Even if they knew that someone in the Jiang family was an official, taking out the letter of credit would show that they had a close relationship with the family, and others would look at it favorably.

After dinner, Jiang Youzhen returned to the house, prepared the plant nutrient solution, wrote down the proportions, and asked Qinglang to deliver it to the clan leader's house.

After the clan leader received the two gourds of nutrient solution, he immediately expressed his observations. The nutrient solution was light green and smelled colorless and tasteless. Apart from the unusual color, he really couldn't see any difference.

Jiang Youzhen was reluctant to waste it, so he asked them to keep it well and not let outsiders know about it.

Qing Lang came back and told Jiang Youzhen that the clan planned to give her a 20% bonus after the fruits were ready to be picked, but Jiang Youzhen did not comment.

Even if there is nutrient solution, the effect will not be so good after dilution. You will have to wait at least two years, but this is much faster than usual.

Otherwise, if there is no nutrient solution, you will have to wait three to five years.

After arranging everything at home, Jiang Youzhen and his companions boarded a carriage to the provincial capital early the next morning, preparing to go to the capital.

A month later, when Jiang Youzhen arrived in the capital to rest for two days and returned to the Hanlin Academy to report for leave, it was already late August.

Although it was still a little hot, it was no longer scorching heat. This time, Jiang Youzhen had an independent study room in the Hanlin Academy.

"Sir, you don't know that just a few days after you left, Sir Tong was promoted to a higher rank and is now a compiler in the Hanlin Academy." As soon as Mu Yuan entered Jiang Youzhen's study, he told him what had happened in the past month.

Jiang Youzhen had known about this a few days ago and had even sent a gift. However, Tong Huaian's gift arrived first, after all, she had been promoted to the Imperial Academy before leaving Beijing.

However, Tong Huaian has been busy recently, so Jiang Youzhen has made an appointment to host a banquet for him the day after tomorrow.

It seems that the aristocratic families in the capital have won. The power of the aristocratic families in the capital is deeply rooted, and even though the southern forces have risen in recent years, they cannot be easily shaken.

"Where is Yu Feng working now?" Jiang Youzhen asked.

"I have been promoted to the position of Inspectorate Officer."

The Inspectorate is a sixth-rank official with considerable power. It is mainly responsible for assessing, investigating and evaluating the performance and integrity of officials.

"I remember that he was just an editor originally, right?"

A seventh-rank official was promoted twice? If the Southern officials were so powerful, how could they lose their position as editors?

She had made so many contributions but she hadn't even been promoted two levels! This instantly made Jiang Youzhen feel unbalanced.

"Isn't it? He was promoted twice in a row, which made others envious. But Lord Yu reported Duke Anguo, saying that Duke Anguo had a mistress and a child, which brought shame to the royal family. The emperor was very unhappy and severely reprimanded Duke Anguo. It is said that the child..."

Mu Yuan made a "Ka" gesture, and Jiang Youzhen's eyes widened in shock.

Oh my god! This is such explosive news!
