Chapter 401: Unexpected
The fuse of all this is because of Jia Lian.
Of course, you don't like to hear these things, but you never think of them.
It was also at this time that the palace saw His Majesty and the prince discussing with their own eyes, and wanted to use your Rongguo Mansion to kill chickens and monkeys! ”
These words successfully attracted Jia Lian's attention, and finally stopped moving forward, Jia Lian turned his head, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Jia Lian's performance pleased Jia Yuanchun to a large extent, seeing this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes looked at Jia Lian, Jia Yuanchun was not as proud as Jia Lian expected.
"Brother Lian, you can not believe what I said, but do you dare to bet on the entire Rongguo Mansion?
If I guessed correctly, the court should be discussing the matter of the treasury today, the treasury is empty, I can understand that the emperor is going to use the silver borrowed from the Internal Affairs Office by our Jia family in the past to make a raft. ”
With sincere words, Jia Yuanchun got up and approached Jia Lian step by step.
"I want you to save my second room, but also to save yourself.
Why don't you want to think about it, why he knows that Keqing is the illegitimate daughter of that person, but he acts as if nothing happened.
And not only that, he has obviously made me a widow, but he has made everyone in the Six Palaces think that I am the most favored, why is this? ”
Reaching out to hold Jia Lian's hand, the tears on Jia Yuanchun's face broke the embankment again.
"He has already thought about the ending of our people from the beginning, the pulse of Ping'an Zhou, after so many years, he still can't even come back to the capital, he is afraid.
And I also heard that he was dying, and the reason why I was seriously ill this time was because I heard them say that he wanted me to accompany him to his funeral! ”
His body trembled, and Jia Yuanchun's eyes looked at Jia Lian fixedly.
Yes, she can't live.
The reason why she is trying her best to know Jia Lian and persuade Jia Lian is her last contribution to this family.
......
Rongguo Mansion, after Jia Lian came out of the palace, he kept himself in the study.
It is undeniable that Jia Yuanchun's words touched him very much.
Even if Jia Yuanchun is in his heart, he is an arrogant and selfish person.
Even if Jia Yuanchun gave him a lot of stumbling blocks.
Because she said it so impeccably.
Whether it is the old emperor's short life, or the statement about the treasury above the court.
But Jia Lian was also very puzzled.
Why?
Now he is a princeling, and Jia Lian asked himself, since he joined the office, except for the affairs of the Pei family, because he didn't want to affect himself, he put the Pei family in a situation from which he could never recover.
Other times, not to mention serving the country and the people, at least Jia Lian has a clear conscience.
Of course, he will not deny the fact that the officials who are released from abroad will not deny this when they enter Beijing to pay filial piety, but he will still take it.
But this is the unspoken rule of officialdom, these people send filial piety to the Jia family year after year, in order to be able to seek a blessing, or a peace of mind.
Although the Jia family's right to speak in Kyoto is declining day by day, the name of the two countries is still loud outside.
Another one, that is, compared with those families, it seems that Jiafu is down. Compared with ordinary officials, the foundation of Jiafu is still strong.
So this is not too much.
But apart from these, Jia Lian really couldn't imagine why the old emperor did this.
If it is to kill chickens and set an example to monkeys, the Jia family is now a princeling known to both the government and the opposition, and the old emperor is already a prince who is the future king, and he Jia family is used as a raft, isn't he afraid that the prince below will rise again?
Pacing back and forth, Jia Lian looked at the candle flame on the table, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
Could it really be as Jia Yuanchun said, it has something to do with Qin Keqing?
"Prince Lao Yizhong......"
muttering to himself, Jia Lian's doubts were even stronger.
Jia Yuanchun used Qin Keqing's identity to do the thing of a springboard, and he knew it from the beginning.
But according to his observation, the old emperor did not have the slightest malice towards Qin Keqing, and secretly took good care of him.
At least in Jia Lian's opinion, the three-grade right servant on his body at least has an ordinary merit medal in Qin Keqing.
And when Lin Ruhai was still alive, didn't he also say that in recent years, although there will be an autumn tent to clear the remnants of Prince Lao Yizhong every once in a while, aren't they all those people who are grass on the wall?
The more he thought about it, the more clueless he became, Jia Lian looked out the window, and he didn't know when it was getting dark, and there was a hot meal on the table not far away.
"It would be nice if Uncle Lin was still here."
Inadvertently spoke, Jia Lian was suddenly stunned, and then his nose began to sour.
When Lin Ruhai died, whether it was because he was busy or because he deliberately forgot it, in fact, his grief was really limited.
But at this time, for some reason, Jia Lian suddenly felt extremely sad, and missed the old man who was always chattering.
Compared with Jia Yu, who always ignored him and was even a little afraid of him, Lin Ruhai was more like his father.
"Master!"
With a delicate exclamation, Qin Keqing, who was silently guarding, saw that Jia Lian didn't know when to cry, so he hurriedly rushed over in a panic.
"Huh?"
Qin Keqing's voice made Jia Lian come back to his senses, and he noticed two lines of coldness on his face, and then he reached out to touch his face, and then realized that he didn't know when he also fell into sadness.
"No problem."
Laughing and letting Qin Keqing wipe away the cowardice on his face, Jia Lian was also afraid that Qin Keqing would be worried, so he quickly put away his thoughts, Jia Lian held Qin Keqing's small hand and walked towards the table full of delicious food.
"When did you come, how long have you been, why haven't you called me?"
Before I entered the house, I ordered the little ones below not to disturb him, Qin Keqing is the mother of this family, and only she can enter.
Qin Keqing is a smart person, Jia Lian's appearance just now is vivid, although the worry in his heart is still there, but seeing that Jia Lian avoided the topic, he also knew that Jia Lian was reluctant to say more, so he smiled gently, and used chopsticks to clip his favorite eggplant into Jia Lian's bowl.
"I've been here for a while, and I see that I can't think about something, so I don't dare to disturb."
Usually when Jia Lian came back, he would always go to see the two little ones as soon as he came back, but today he heard Xing'er say that he would lock himself in the study as soon as he came back.
And because of his busy official duties, Jia Lian rarely has time to accompany his wife and children, so at dinnertime, Qin Keqing and Ping'er usually sit together, regardless of their identity, and the family has a happy dinner.
But when it came to dinner, Jia Lian's house still didn't move.
Xing'er had the courage to light a lamp, but knowing Jia Lian's temper, although he usually didn't look like a fight, if he made a mistake in his hands, he wouldn't be able to please him, so he didn't dare to persuade him, so he hurriedly went to Qin Keqing in the inner courtyard to talk, which attracted Qin Keqing to come over with food.
Qin Keqing said this, but he also meant that Jia Lian's scene just now had been fully seen, which made Jia Lian very embarrassed.
The man doesn't flick when he has tears, thinking that he is the head of the seven-foot man's family, most importantly, who is already thirty-four years old, and he is still crying, which is very embarrassing.
"Ahem, I, I just got my eyes in the sand."
Coughing twice to hide his discomfort, Jia Lian quickly took two mouthfuls of food in his mouth, and saw that Qin Keqing didn't seem to pay attention to himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It is said that people are iron and steel, if there is anything unpleasant, it is good to eat one meal, if one meal is not good, just two meals.
Jia Lian was full of wine and food, and couldn't help but sigh, the ancients did not deceive me.
Touching his round belly, although Jia Lian still had no clue about what Jia Yuanchun told him, the anxiety in his heart was mostly gone.
There must be a way before the ship reaches the mountain.
No matter what the old emperor's move was, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, in Jia Yuanchun's words, the prince is also aware of this matter, but he seems to have a different opinion with the old emperor.
So now the old emperor's meaning, since he wants to start with the national debt, Jia Lian also thinks of this, and it is a big deal to return it to him.
It's just that in this way, the previous appointments with the Zhen family and the Shi family can't be counted.
Just thinking of Jia Yu's attitude towards the second room and one vein, Jia Lian didn't plan to tell Jia Yu about this matter, but he hurriedly went to the side of Juren Lane the next day, but after half a day's effort, Liu Zhaoxuan's name had a three-entry house in Nancheng, where commerce and trade were prosperous.
It is the most unpredictable king's heart.
Jia Lian asked himself if he didn't do anything to be sorry for the royal family and the people.
So he has a clear conscience, although Jia Yuanchun said the situation so clearly, but since this person has a black history here in Jia Lian, there is still a question mark about the authenticity.
It's just that despite this, Jia Lian still has to prepare with both hands.
Now he is no longer when he first arrived, he was still very sorry for his life when he was alone, and now he is surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and he is a pair of children, so he is even more reluctant to die.
So the meaning of this house is also to make a way out.
The matter of the national debt, now that the emperor has already spoken, no matter what the others do, the Zhen family is already the target of the public, and his Jia family is on top, and others are not easy to put their beaks on.
It's just that the agreement with Zhen Qiyao and the historian was about to change.
A rough count of the current Jia family's industry.
Needless to say, in addition to a pen factory that still has income, the dowry of the remaining female dependents cannot be counted, and Ning Guofu's assets are full of calculations, after the baptism of the original Grand View Garden, even if it sells the property and Zhuangzi to get the land, it is about one hundred and eighty taels.
After all, the sacrificial field cannot be moved, and the remaining Zhuangzi shop is sold for half, so that Ning Guofu can take out about forty or fifty taels.
On the side of Rongguo Mansion, when the Grand View Garden was built, Jia Lian actually only took out a hundred thousand taels, and the rest basically relied on compilation, and in the end, Jia Zheng paid for it himself.
In this way, the income of Rongguo Mansion in the account, that is, the hot spring Zhuangzi, plus five shops, (two of which are grain and oil shops, that is, the grain income of three Zhuangzi), three fast food restaurants, and two gold and silver shops that were added later.
Aside from the labor and cost in the next three months, the part that can be taken out is more than a million.
Qin Keqing still has a lot of dowries given by Jia Lian in private, and Jia Yingchun also has two shops in his hands.
It's just that the things in the hands of these female dependents didn't move when the Dog Emperor raided the house in the Red Mansion, and it was impossible for him to move as a big man.
It's just that in this way, there is still a gap of more than one million yuan from the arrears, so Jia Lian has to think of other ways.
For example, if the three Zhuangzi want to sell one, the shop, although the fast food restaurant business is okay, just because it is a civilian route, plus environmental reasons, except for the workers on the dock, where are ordinary people willing to spend twenty or thirty yuan to eat a fast food, a penny of baked cakes, and his own boiled boiled water, he can eat twenty or thirty.
So although he also made money, the money he earned really made Jia Lian couldn't afford to wait.
After all, it's only two or three hundred taels a month, and it's only thirty or forty thousand a year.
If there was no such thing, the money would be very considerable, but now that the situation is urgent, Jia Lian can't think about the future.
So after careful calculation, Jia Lian gritted his teeth and simply shot all three shops.
It's just that except for one of the three shops in the south city, the remaining two are one in the west city, and one is even in the north city.
The location of Nancheng is not too good, but it is always in the place where the rich live, and if it is sold directly with the title deed, it will not be a problem to sell it for four or five hundred thousand.
It's just that this shop is sold, and it won't be easy to buy such a shop again in the future.
Although the people living in Xicheng are all locals in the capital, most of them are ordinary people, but there is no shortage of merchants, and it is not impossible to sell them for three or four hundred thousand.
But not in Beicheng, most of the people living in Beicheng are migrant workers, and it is a dirty and messy place, even if the merchants make a move, the price is there, and it can be sold for 15 or 200,000 yuan, Jia Lian's mouth will smile crookedly.
So in this way, it is still conservatively estimated that the three shops will shoot in the fastest time, and before the others have reacted, they may be able to have a look of 800,000.
In this way, another Zhuangzi is sold, the Zhuangzi territory of Rongguo Mansion is not small, and the fields are good, and the whole Zhuangzi is packed, seven or eight hundred thousand, it should not be a problem.
In this case, even if it is not counted, it is about the same.
The big head has already been taken care of, even if it is less, it will not be a problem.
It's just that in this way, the Jia family really bleed hemorrhage all of a sudden.
While calculating, Jia Lian thought silently in his heart.
At the beginning, Jia's mother was eccentric, so when Jia Lian asked people to do the accounts, they were all two, in order to prevent Jia's mother from making unreasonable demands because she felt that the second room was too different from the big house.
And in this way, in fact, these industries of the Jia family are also unknown to outsiders.
Even Jia Lian dared to say that even Wang Xifeng of Ningguo Mansion didn't know about it.
Rubbing his chin, Jia Lian's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
Jia's house was raided, which is the worst plan.
Originally, Jia Lian thought that if he was like this, working desperately for the imperial court, the tragedy of the Jia family in the Red Chamber would not be repeated.
But now, it seems to be a bit hanging.
So the worst plan at the moment is that the Jia family will be raided.
In the later generations of the Red Mansion, the Jia family was so unbearable, but in the end, they were amnesty.
Jia Lian made up his mind, although he didn't know what would happen in the future, but his credit was really there, and it would be better than in the Red Mansion.
So Jia Lian boldly guessed that maybe his return to the treasury was just the beginning, and maybe there was something waiting for him in the future.
