1522 The Last Story (12)
Hearing this, Jia Mu was shocked to lean back, if it weren't for the high back of the Taishi chair, she would have been able to faint.
It's just that this time it's really uncomfortable, and the qi and blood are surging, rushing straight to the Tianling Gai, making the young Jia's mother tremble directly with her hands and feet.
She leaned on her lion-headed cane and muttered only one word: "Let me think, let me think." ”
When this Jia Mu calmed down, the once wise old man seemed to have returned to this old skin.
"You wait here, I'll have someone look for your sister-in-law of the Wang family. ”
Lin Zheng just wanted to ask, this Jia family's internal affairs don't sound appropriate for an outsider, right?
The capable mandarin duck had already made people look for Wang Xifeng's family.
This phoenix is wearing a gilded red shirt today, covered with a three-tailed phoenix hairpin with a jewel pendant on the sideburns, which is really a bright and eye-catching dress.
When she entered the inner room, she first greeted her ancestors, and then saw the people doing it on the side, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, it turned out that the brothers of the Lin family came, and the ancestor had already told me, so I wouldn't dress up and come to meet people?"
It's a pity that the current Jia Mu didn't have the heart to listen to Wang Xifeng's ridicule, she asked Wang Xifeng to sit down opposite Lin Zheng very seriously, and began to ask about Jia Yuanchun's relatives clearly.
Hearing Jia Mu ask this, in order to show his ability, Wang Xifeng desperately said this thing.
First of all, he told Jia Mu about the boundary of the yard that was demarcated in the Jia Mansion, and also took the initiative to say how much money was taken for each house.
After saying that the Ningguo Mansion not only gave up a large piece of the courtyard, but also took out 50,000 silver coins, Jia's mother's face became more and more unsightly.
I thought that only my family would be involved, but whoever wanted to think about the neighbor next door thought a lot.
The anxious Jia Mu completely ignored Wang Xifeng's expression when she looked at Lin Zheng at this time, which was an extreme desire to see the golden doll.
No, just when Mother Jia was thinking about saying this without arousing Wang Xifeng's suspicions, this girl from the Wang family, who is a good hand at grabbing money, took this opportunity to open up with Lin Zheng.
"Brother of the Lin family, this is not what my sister-in-law should say. ”
"It's just that our two families are related, and Sister Yuanchun is also your cousin, isn't it?"
"Now that this garden is being built, each family has taken 10,000 taels of silver, and even the Xue family, who is now temporarily living in Jiafu, has also taken out 20,000 taels of silver to help their relatives. ”
"I don't know ......"
Lin Zheng, who immediately understood in seconds, first twisted his face to Jia's mother, although this grandmother had a very bad face, she was like Wang Xifeng, and looked at Lin Zheng.
It seems that regardless of whether this garden is repaired or not, whether their Lin family can help the Jia family when they are in trouble is another matter.
Thinking about this, Lin Zheng was a Ling in his heart.
This Jia Mansion must not fall when the old lady is alive, if it is a moment in advance, I am afraid that the Lin Mansion, which will be dragged down, will have to manage them for the rest of his life.
Therefore, at this time, Lin Zheng showed a particularly simple and positive smile, and put his hand into the purse in the sleeve robe that had been approved a long time ago, and the next moment a large amount of Tonghui silver ticket was handed over by Lin Zheng.
"This is what my father has prepared for a long time, and I brought it with me when I learned that I was going to my grandfather's house early this morning. ”
"Since I learned the news of Yuanchun's sister concubine, my father said that this is the pride of all families with relatives. ”
"It's not too much, but it's also a part of my Lin family. ”
These words were comfortable, and Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng both had a little smile on their faces.
After Wang Xifeng saw the amount of money, the smiling face became more and more open.
Fifty thousand taels, Tonghui's silver ticket, the country's silver ticket money can be exchanged.
It's really not a small deal.
For Lin Ruhai, who has remarried, it is the affection of relatives to make a little effort, and if you pretend not to know, it is also your duty.
What if Wang Xifeng's psychological activities at this time were known to Lin Zheng?
He would have laughed sarcastically.
If Wang Xifeng knew that there was no such thing as Lin Zheng in this world, and now Lin Ruhai would have died a few months ago, and the huge Lin family and majestic wealth would have been returned to Jiafu, she was afraid that she would not be as happy as she is now.
Lin Zheng, who sighed lightly, stopped talking.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng put the silver ticket into his arms, Jia's mother opened his mouth.
"He Lian's family, let the land of this garden be closed. ”
"Return the courtyard of the Ning Mansion and carve out a piece of land from our Rongguo Gong's mansion. ”
"As for the size of the place, it doesn't need to be too big, just split half of it. ”
"Even if this virtuous concubine is favored by the Son of Heaven and returns home to save her relatives, she will not be able to spend the night in it. ”
"You just need to make the place where you gather brighter. ”
"After all, after the eldest girl of the Jia family returned to the palace, the courtyard would not be able to be lived. ”
"The free space still needs to be maintained by the servants, and it is really more than worth the loss. ”
"Not only will we be able to leave a lot of money left, but we will also save our accounts to fill such a big hole in the future. ”
Wang Xifeng was stunned when he said this, this Mrs. Wang's smiling advice was different.
The dignified national mansion, if you come according to Jia's mother's rules, wouldn't it be a joke?
Wang Xifeng thought about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he had just brought in his pocket, and thought about the grand occasion of the eighth prince. I always feel that people like them encounter such a good thing, if they really do it, then they turn their heads and don't know what kind of person they want to be said to be.
Seeing Wang Xifeng's expression, Jia Mu knew that this little hoof didn't take her to heart.
She could only say it more thoroughly.
"Your Majesty has always been thrifty, and the middle palace lady has repeatedly worn a hairpin, and the emperor also commended her for her frugality. ”
"If the Son of Heaven sees such extravagance in his favorite concubine's home, I don't know how he will feel in his heart. ”
"The beginning of this year is not smooth, there is a big drought in Shandong, and there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"There is still a lot of shortage of silver in the imperial court, but we are building a garden here with great fanfare, you are not afraid of His Majesty the Emperor who turned his head and asked for money from us nobles!!"
Speaking of this, Jia Mu put her crutches on the ground: "Just do what I say, I, the old feudal lord in this family, can still be the master!"
After speaking, Jia's mother, who was out of breath because she was too excited, turned her eyes to Lin Zheng's location, but found that her grandson was actually a wandering world.
"What's going on?"
Mother Jia's abrupt questioning interrupted Lin Zheng and suddenly thought of something wrong, which made the young man who had something in his heart blurt out: "Grandmother, when you talked about the use of the imperial court, I suddenly remembered the documents I handled in the Hanlin Academy. ”
"Are our four kings and eight princes still hanging accounts in the household department?"
"Account, what account?" Jia Mu was really confused.
"Debts!" Lin Zheng said simply and affirmatively: "Our Jia family has borrowed nearly 1.1 million taels of silver from the public account of the imperial court because of the driving and other problems. ”
"When my grandfather was alive, there was still a small part, and now there are enough 800,000 taels that have not been returned. ”
"If we take out so much silver taels to build a garden at this time, guess what His Majesty the Emperor will think in his heart?"
Hearing this, Jia Mu sighed in her heart.
She turned over all the memories that were too old in her mind.
In the past and present, Jia Daishan's generation, because of the proximity to the emperor, who has not received a few visits?
Coupled with the love of fighting the world together, when I didn't get together at the beginning, I really hung up in the household department.
It's like that for all people.
Some people see that after the household department borrowed, no one took the initiative to mention the deadline for repayment...... Even those who did not lack these two money in the family borrowed a sum of money from the big stream, as if only in this way could they integrate into the group and not be rejected by the great nobles.
It's just that the drawbacks of this have been reflected more than ten years later.
How prosperous the Jiafu was in the past, how depressed the current Jiafu will be.
The days when Jiafu was not short of money took a turn for the worse, and it was necessary to deduct silver from relatives like the Lin family, so you can imagine the difficulty.
Therefore, when Lin Zheng tore off this last fig leaf, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng were so flustered.
Of course, for people like Jia Mu, she is panicked, but for people like Wang Xifeng, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, she is just a little dazed.
"Did the Wang family also borrow money from the household?"
"Yes, but there have never been as many as the Jia family. ”
After all, before Jia Daishan's death, the Wang family was just a family attached to him.
If it weren't for Wang Ziteng's sudden rise and the fact that the second generation of the Jia family was really a waste, the status of the two of them would not have changed so much.
Jia Mu, who sighed for a long time, couldn't even maintain her sitting posture.
She asked Wang Xifeng tremblingly: "How much silver is left in the accounts at home?"
Wang Xifeng, who asked, was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "There are 300,000 taels of silver." ”
Hearing this, Jia's mother was even more surprised: "How can it be so little? Didn't each house give the money to build the yard to the account a few days ago?"
Wang Xifeng, who asked this, was so sad that he said: "Ancestor, you put the right of this housekeeper into the hands of my aunt, and I am at best the big housekeeper who holds the key for her." ”
"The incoming and outgoing accounts in the house are not up to me, and how to spend them must also be known by Mrs. Wang. ”
"The amount of money in our family is beyond our means every year. ”
"If it weren't for the pooling of money from various prefectures, this year's money would have been issued only after Zhuangzi came in at the end of the year. ”
Hearing this, Jia Mu stood up from her seat with a spirit, because she was too violent, and almost fell down, Lin Zheng on the side quickly supported her, and hurriedly let her sit down on the side.
Let's listen to Wang Xifeng continue.
"Among them, the Xue family's 200,000 taels of silver have not yet been delivered, if it is really calculated, there are only 500,000 yuan that can be taken out of the account. ”
"Ancestor, it's not that it's not easy for me to cry, so let's go and see what is left of my dowry. ”
"Over the years, I have filled in the items every year, and only then have I demolished the east wall and made up the west wall. ”
"If our family wants to repay this money, it will not be able to pass without pawning objects. ”
What he said made Jia Mu and Lin Zheng want to jump into the river together.
The Jia family is so dilapidated?
That still maintains the battle of eight big girls who take one step out, and every meal is a table of dishes coming up, and another table is withdrawn?
It's not going to be a long time.
Thinking deeper, this Jia Mansion will not attack the Lin family in order to survive this crisis, right?
My family has always been a family that hides wealth, but it can't be hollowed out by a Jia mansion.
Just when Lin Zheng was worried about this, this once wise old lady finally returned to her original peak state after being exposed to all her unbearableness.
She calmed down and made a categorical decision.
"Take out all the 300,000 taels on the account, and then tell the people of the two prefectures to let them make up 200,000 taels each. ”
"Whether it is selling something, pawning things, or what method it is, in short, the cash must be sent to the account of the public high school. ”
"As for the remaining 100,000 taels, open my private treasury, and my old wife will make it up for you. ”
"The object that was originally intended to be kept as a coffin, if it can't pass this level, what kind of energy will it be left, and I don't know who it will be left for in the end. ”
"That being the case, it is better to return it to the royal family, maybe Your Majesty is grateful for our mellow simplicity, for the sake of years of service, this generation of descendants will automatically delegate power, and there is no big mistake in letting go of our Jia family." ”
"Go! You will call me all the people they can be in charge of! If you don't come, you won't have to be surnamed Jia in the future!"
When she said this, Jia Mu's face was already three points stern.
At this time, Lin Zheng also stood up, he knew that this place was no longer suitable for him to stay.
There is about to be an extremely big shock in the Jia family, and he, a person with a foreign surname, should avoid it.
Mother Jia was also very pleased with Lin Zheng's eyes, she nodded and asked the maid next to her to send Lin Zheng out, and she happened to meet Wang Xifeng from Anqingtang, who had been out of Jia's mother in advance.
This phoenix was now staring coldly at the young man who was five years younger than her.
It's only been a few days, and the young man who was originally amused by her to avoid it now has the prestige of being an official.
Wang Xifeng, who consciously couldn't show his timidity, stared at Lin Zheng for a long time, but after snorting heavily, he didn't dare to entangle with him any more.
She always felt that Gu Zheng, who had won the top prize, had become dangerous.
Looking at her is like looking at a dead thing, without any emotion.
Let all her careful thoughts now dare not reveal a point, just thinking about missing this evil star quickly.
Regarding Wang Xifeng's reaction, Lin Zheng was very satisfied.
This is a troublesome girl, after this incident has passed, there are still many sores about the prosperity of Jiafu that need to be uncovered one by one.
At that time, the Jia Mansion, which has been greatly damaged, will inevitably decline, but it can give everyone a clean Jia family that will not drag others down.
Lin Zheng, who wanted to understand, walked very simply, after he handed over this matter to his father, he asked a few useful little guys around him to keep an eye on the development of this matter throughout the whole process.
And this person from the Jia family is indeed worthy of being a joke in the whole capital.
The repayment of the loan in their family spread like a whirlpool.
On the most prosperous commercial street at the south gate of Kyoto City, the doors of several famous pawn shops have been crushed by the carriages and horses pulled by the Jia family in the past few days.
Boxes of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry, like cabbage, were stuffed into these shops.
After a few times, Lin Zheng pretended to pass by, and saw a lot of good goods.
This Jiafu really started with military merits, and for those rare books, the calligraphy is really not very important.
I don't know if it's the wealth that was indiscriminately wrapped up in the war, and many of them have traces of smoke and fire.
If this is not the most serious, those insects and rats bite the lonely book, which makes Lin Zheng beat his chest when he sees it.
When he gritted his teeth and came to the backyard of the Treasure Pavilion, the chief butler of the house was waiting in the inner hall early.
Boxes of books, calligraphy and paintings that he could see were placed in the hall, in order to let the champion who had greeted him in advance take the lead in picking out some eye-catching ones.
To say that this talented man really has two brushes, how did he know that the Jia family was going to sell the property?
The Lin family's personal scholar greeted him early in the morning and bought back many of the things that flowed out of it with a lot of money.
And this scholarly champion is really a rich man, as long as it is something he likes, he will not bargain with you.
Naturally, a dead merchant would not dare to slaughter such a high-roller, but just this time, thousands of taels of silver went into his pocket, which was really a refreshing thing.
The unfathomable Lin Hanlin bought the items that he could use, and then they dealt with the rest, which was a deal that could not be accompanied.
Just when the people in the capital were all shocked, they didn't know why the Jia family sold so many things, and even a few bad relatives in various places ridiculed and said that their family was gossiping about a swollen face and a fat man in order to take Concubine Xiande home, and Jia Yu, who only played with a little lady all day long, actually stood outside the door of the household office.
Boxes of silver ingots, and thick stacks of silver tickets, that's what he's here for.
This first-class general Jia Yu, who has never appeared seriously except for the previous dynasty, is now staring at the big bags under the eyes of the wine-colored wealth erosion, and is very serious about the origin of this money with a household secretary and a household servant who rushed to hear the news.
"The silver money that I borrowed a few years ago has been borrowed one after another since the eighth year of eternity, and now I have come to return it. ”
"I just ask all my colleagues not to be afraid of trouble, and to take all the constraints and check them one by one. ”
"It stands to reason that such a large amount of silver should be given to His Majesty three points of interest. ”
"Just to repay this money, the family really has no more money left. ”
"If it weren't for the message from the virtuous concubine a while ago, let the family sort out everything that was wrong when they were provincial, so as not to pollute the prestige of the heavenly family. ”
"When we were sorting through my father's belongings, we couldn't find so many IOUs. ”
As soon as the old feudal monarch in the family saw this, the courtyard of the provincial relatives could not be repaired, so he shouted that they were sorry for His Majesty's trust. ”
"How can we, as courtiers, owe money to Your Majesty? Isn't this disrespectful?"
So, all the things in the whole family stopped, the income from all over the place was remitted to the palace, and the people of the two rooms realized all the savings over the years, and even borrowed a lot of money from a few good relatives, so that the 880,000 taels of silver could be made up. ”
"You ask me why I have an extra 80,000 taels?"
"Hey, we're not afraid that it's been a long time, in case we miss one or two endings, we won't be able to get so much money for a while when we check it, and we have to go on another trip to make trouble for your people, right?"
"I simply sold more calligraphy, painting and antiques, gathered all the industries that were not well managed at home, and disposed of them all, and got rich and put out some money to prepare. ”
"If it's enough, I'll use the rest to build a small yard and happily wait for my Jia family's daughter to return home to save her family. ”
"If it's not enough, there's nothing left to fill. ”
"Speaking of this squire, how much silver do we owe?"
To say that this household is really the world's money bag, a few crackling calculations in the matter, no more, no less, exactly 800,000 taels.
A loan without any interest is enough for ten or twenty years.
I really don't know if it's the blessing of the person who borrowed the money, or the blessing of His Majesty who suddenly has such a windfall.
Jia Yuzhen, who knew that he had brought enough with him, breathed a sigh of relief.
He's a little confused, but it's real.
After seeing that all the IOUs about Jiafu were destroyed by the people of the household department in an official process, he really didn't say anything and returned directly satisfied.
By the time this matter was immediately reported to the case of the Son of Heaven, the second ancestor had already gone far away.
Looking at the sudden increase in cash in front of him, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The wild boar, who was going to fight with his hands, outwitted or outwitted or rivaled in the process of being slaughtered, suddenly turned into a fat and straightforward domestic pig, and very bravely cut off his fattest two thighs, and actively handed it to the butcher's hand.
'Wow Wow'
The emperor, who was more thoughtful than anyone else, clasped the table with his fingers, and looked at the piece that symbolized 800,000 taels of silver, and had a trace of distraction.
This person from the Jia family is not too hateful.
With this silver, it was enough to cope with the floods in the south and the great drought in Shandong.
As for the remaining disaster relief money, it can be used to pay for the normal food and military equipment in the frontiers, so this year's household bank deposits will not only not lose money, but may even have a slight surplus.
His Majesty felt a little happy when he thought of this.
Stretching his waist, he gently overturned his original plan for the Jia family.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
