Chapter 9: Letter
A month has passed by since Hao Jiazhi's plan has started
"This is the collection of one month" Meng Bai said as he puts down a mall square box on the study table of Hao Jiazhi
(Hao Jiahi's mansion is small, so there is no guest are. Actually, rather than saying mansion, we should say it is a small house)
Han Yachun opened the small square box and inside, there were total of 6 pouches and inside these pouches were money
2,000 in each pouch
Hao Jiazhi counted the money and it was full 12,000 ban liang
"hmm…
Here is 2,400 ban liang, distribute 800 among you, Fu Yu and Mao Xue
Also, take these 6,000 ban liang and distribute 200 in each person working for you 3" Hao Jiazhi said as he hands out a big share of money to Meng Bai
8400 – 12000 = 3600 ban liang
The amount of money remaining with Hao Jiazhi may seem quite low but it is only the beginning so he is happy with this much
After handling money issues, Hao Jiazhi started talking about the next step
"Make sure to keep the money flowing and just bring my share after cutting all expenses
Also, now that we have a proper source of money, start training all those people who are working for us and also try to find someone who excels in the field of administration (and information collection)
You have time till New Year
You can leave now" Hao Jiazhi said as he stands up and leaves the room
Meng Bai bowed his head and then leaves the place
Hao Jiazhi clearly knows that there will come a time when his small organization will fight some people, they could be anyone
And right now, they only have a numbers and small amount of weapon
Which is useless if they ever come across someone who is really good at fighting or martial arts to be particular
This is not earth where numbers will give them an advantage
Here, a martial artist could fly in the sky as he used to see in those dramas, and also these martial artists are fucking too strong
He needs a good amount of manpower if he ever wants to fight a martial artist
So, for this very reason, he wants his gang to be really strong and now Hao Jiazhi will also stop moving around much as he will start taking some martial arts training from someone who is well experienced
After all, the Main Boss should never be weak, or else his own people will try to throw him out of his throne
Hao Jiazhi don't want to make mistakes that he did in his past life, thus he starts his training
3 months passed by-
New Year is here and Hao Jiazhi has completed his basic training in Martial Arts
The training of martial arts seems to be much harder than Hao Jiazhi has asked for; it's really tough as he had only completed the basic so far
"Being young is sure a gift in its own" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks himself in the mirror and then steps out of his room
It's new year time and also the season of winter
Snow could be seen around the yard/garden of Hao Jiazhi's house
In these 3 months, few things have changed
Hao Jiazhi has fired all old maids/servants and hired new maids or more particularly, he hired those maids that were selected by Zheng Zhen
Zheng Zhen is the 5th shadow and the head of the administration department
According to him, these new maids are much better and well tamed as their family is in Jinyi. So if there is any mistake committed by these maids, they will have a very bad future
Not just them but their family also
This makes it easy to control them, rather than having people who we don't know
Thus, Hao Jiazhi hired those maids
As for how Zheng Zhen was selected,
It was done by Meng Bai personally when he was testing the skills of all men working under him and other 2
He is really good in the field of administration, but not so good in the field of collecting information. But he will understand things and improver more and more in the future
Zheng Zhen has made a visit to Hao Jiazhi in past, so there is nothing to worry much
There are now a total of 6 new maids that are paid by Hao Jiazhi personally, not by the Imperial palace or central government as they only pay those servants that are hired by them
By firing all old servants, Hao Jiazhi had cut his all ties with the central government and there is no room for any spies in his house
It's almost because Hao Jiazhi still have guards by his side and because this property is owned by the royal family, these guards are also paid by them
No doubt, these guards are loyal to him and he also pays them money but if he really wants them to cut their ties with the central government, he has to shift to other place and then make them leave their old position
But right now he doesn't have the money to do so, so he will just stick with things like this. At least he has new maids
The amount of money he has right now is around 20,000 ban liang
Today, there is a special guest who has come to his house
It's a middle-aged man with golden-colored armors around him; surely he is from the central government
The man handed a small letter to Han Yachun and then left the place without wasting any time to enter the mansion
His attitude clearly showed that he doesn't give a shit about Hao Jiazhi, something Hao Jiazhi don't like it but didn't bother about it much
In the letter-
"Your birthday is coming,
Come visit your mother's palace, as you will now finally be in-line for the throne of the emperor
You Mother"
'Ahhh, OK…. So it is from my new mother huh?' Hao Jiazhi said in his mind as he looked at the letter
It was short and to the point with no extra stuff or any unnecessary thing
It was like, someone is ordering him to come here which somewhat made Hao Jiazhi giggle a bit
"Seems like this new year will be full of work" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks around
. . .
