Saying this, there was a bit of ridicule on his face, Jia Yu got up and got up, sat on the edge of the bed, looked out the window, and turned his head to look at Jia Lian without paying attention for a moment.

"Put your heart in your stomach, there are more people who have borrowed money in Kyoto, no matter which way you start from it, it won't be our family's turn."

Of course, Jia Lian thought of this attitude, but after all, as Jia Yu said, there are so many people in Kyoto, if you want to say that you haven't borrowed it, there are really only a handful.

Of course, those who are not qualified to borrow are a different matter.

This is also an unspoken rule, the emperor wants to fill the heart of the treasury, and these officials don't know it, but openly and secretly, these people's money is owed layer upon layer, and it doesn't mean that they can't afford to pay it back.

It's just that even if there is something that can afford it, there is no or dare not have the heart to pay it back.

Officials protect each other, that's what they say.

One mistake that everyone makes, and that is that no one makes it.

But if everyone is committing it, and you don't commit it, it means that you don't commit it, and in the end, you will attack it en masse, and it will be obvious who is unlucky.

So Jia Yu dared to say this, relying on nothing more than this.

Everyone is a grasshopper on a vine, pulling the whole body, getting old and gray, and everyone is choking.

But Jia Lian knew the end of these old men in his head.

Jia Lian looked at it coldly, although this dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty in later generations, this prince seemed to be quite similar to the cold-faced brother of that dynasty.

Of course, because Jia Lian is not very familiar with history, there is no way to tell whether the two people are the same or not.

Therefore, combined with the fate of the major families in the Red Mansion in the later generations, Jia Lian might as well boldly guess that even if it is not the same person, he has crossed this kind of thing by himself. Even if the history here is recorded differently in the history books of later generations, then is it possible that the souls of two people may be the same.

In short, the behavior of two people is inseparable. Maybe this prince and the cold-faced elder brother did the same thing after they took the throne, and drastically peeled off the moths of the country one by one, and confiscated their property.

After all, in Jia Lian's view, the deduced in the Red Mansion in later generations, Jia Tanchun married and married, Jia Yuanchun died of a serious illness, and the four major families wiped out their families, all of which looked the same as the cold-faced elder brother in everyone's mouth.

So what Jia Lian has to do now is to take precautions.

Even if the money from the treasury cannot be repaid in a big way, it must be revealed that you want to pay it back and will definitely pay it back, which must give the top an attitude. 、

So he didn't pay attention to Jia Yu's indifference, Jia Lian sat on the chair next to the bed, still with the same attitude as before.

"Just tell me how much our house owes, now that the situation in the court is uncertain, my son is afraid that in case, it's okay, but if there is really that day, don't be caught off guard."

This sentence Jia Lian said the truth, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and no one knows what the old emperor is thinking.

But with Jia Lian's memory of the major events in the Red Mansion in the later generations, Jia Lian knew that although the government and the opposition were calm now, he was afraid that he didn't know how to be magnificent.

Jia Yu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jia Lian deeply.

Now that he has been worried for several months, his temperament is already lazy and does not like to take care of things. Therefore, the affairs in the court, unless they are to be helped by Jia Yu, other Jia Lian will not explain it to him.

With Jia Lian's current attitude, Jia Yu speculated in his heart that he was only afraid that something big would happen in the court.

"Whatever you want, it's rare for you to have this heart, but my father reminds you that although our family is relatively generous now. But some things are not as simple as you think, if you really want to return the silver from the treasury, then you must discuss with me, and even invite your Uncle Lin and the two marquis of the Shi family together. ”

The reason why I say this is because I know my son Mo Ruo's father, just like Jia Lian understands Jia Lian after getting along for so many years, Jia Yu also knows Jia Lian very well.

"It's good for young people to have ideas, but don't be unaware of the high ground and the thick of the treasury, and the matter of the treasury is not as simple as you think."

As he spoke, he got up, took out a small box from the Duobao Pavilion, took out a booklet from it and handed it to Jia Lian.

"Our family is good, and when we were in Jinling in the past, because we had to take over the car, we spent a lot of silver at that time, but then we didn't borrow it again."

When the emperor goes on patrol, he should eat, drink, and stay, all of which are exquisite. Where can ordinary people provide this?

Therefore, people like them who want to take over the car borrow money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance, and then according to the specifications of the palace, they will build a series of affairs to be taken over in the future.

But even if it is a family like the Zhen family that has taken the drive several times, they have to borrow it again every time.

And the home of these drivers is not a royal residence, so under normal circumstances, these things are used once and belong to the household. That's why there is, obviously the cost is huge, but everyone is still keen to take over.

After all, the wool comes out of the sheep, and the left and right are used with royal money, and they can still make a lot of money, so why not.

And in the back, it was the families who saw this situation, and he didn't count how much money the emperor spent on his patrol, and the reward was effective, that is, more and more people joined the ranks, and finally evolved into basically everyone having such an account.

And the person in the treasury did not take a single account, and he himself had to make a lot of money, so he ......

Back at Wangyue Residence, Jia Yingchun and the others had already returned to their courtyard, and Qin Keqing beckoned people to go to the big kitchen to prepare dinner.

opened the box that Jia Yu gave him, and Jia Yu took out an account book from it.

Looking at a few sheets roughly, it is recorded that the details of all the utensils used to drive that year, and the total price used in the end was 2.75 million taels of silver.

The look on his face became heavier and heavier as he flipped through it, and Jia Lian finally understood why Jia Mu and Jia Zheng opened their mouths so much when they built the Grand View Garden.

It turned out that there was such a precedent ahead, and it was no wonder that when the subordinate lions opened their mouths, they didn't feel strange at all.

Close the books and think about it.

Now Jia Lian's own stable income is roughly divided into three payments.

The official is not counted at all, a little drizzle, it is not as good as Jia Lian's annual income in a shop.

The first to bear the brunt was the thirty acres of hot spring Zhuangzi that Jia Yu gave to Jia Lian back then.

Now it has developed into a hundred acres of Zhuangzi, of which 80% is used to cultivate river fresh, and the rest is planted with fruits and vegetables for the daily life of Jiafu. There are about five or six hundred thousand dollars in profits every year.

The second is Jia Lian's pen factory, in order to prevent Jia's mother from letting the second room climb the relationship, so he deliberately pulled Ning Guofu into the shares, Jia Lian except for a Liu Xianglian, he can't use him for his efforts, but on the rubber tree glue, Jia Lian is another fee for raw materials, and Jia Lian picks up 30% of the total income of the pen factory.

From last year to now, Jia Lian's income is more than 200,000 taels of silver.

The last thing left is the original Zhuangzi shop in Jiafu.

There are not many shops, and Jia's mother still reads the second room when she was separated, so there are only five shops in hand. Three of them were converted into wine shops by Jia Lian.

These liquor shops are different from others, they take the civilian route, and the gimmick is that they can eat a full set meal with meat and vegetables at a low price.

It is also the location of these shops that is good, two close to the docks, and the workers there are still more persistent about eating meat because they need to pay a lot of physical strength every day.

Although the average price of these shops is actually more expensive than other restaurants, because the content of the package is irresistible, the business is very prosperous.

But it's also a civilian business, and apart from the dock workers, other families even use fast food restaurants as birthday dinners. When there are guests at home, or when there is a big event, I will also choose here.

And the remaining two are grain and oil shops.

What the grain and oil shops sell is the production of several Zhuangzi under the Rongguo Mansion.

These farms grow grain, fruits, vegetables, and poultry.

If some Zhuangzi has mountains, they also raise wild meat.

Fortunately, Zhuangzi is not small, so there are about two or three hundred thousand taels of silver every year.

The rest is the filial piety of officials from other provinces during the annual New Year's Festival, as well as those officials who are attached to Jiafu.

It's just that the Jia family has been declining over the years, so the income in this area is not much, and it is almost the same if you can have 350,000 yuan a year.

Calculated in this way, Rongguo Mansion now has about four or five hundred thousand taels of silver on its books.

Among them, the income of the pen factory and the hot spring Zhuangzi, Jia Lian was directly handed over to Qin Keqing for a single calculation.

On the one hand, these two revenues are used as research funds for the cement research team, the cowpox research team, and the grain research team.

So in this way, even if you have to pay back, it is a big difference.

So, making money has become a top priority now?

2.75 million taels, when Jia Yuanchun repaired the provincial villa, Jia Lian's various provinces in the open and secretly also spent a total of about 1.5 million taels, although the majority of others came out, but Jia Lian also took out two or three hundred thousand.

And now there is no news of the 400,000 yuan that Jia Zheng promised to pay back, so he doesn't count.

And today's scene, even if he is forced to do so, I am afraid that he is powerless.

Taking a deep breath, the pressure that Jia Lian had disappeared since his promotion rerose.

On the second day, I will go to the Yamen, and the streets of Kyoto today are not the same as before.

On the lively street, the vendors are in their respective areas in an orderly manner, and there is no garbage on the street.

The shops are even more neat and clean, which is refreshing.

In this way, Jia Lian's work has been calculated as half of the work, and the rest is to think about the autumn harvest grain.

Although the cement research team has made a little research at present, Jia Lian still sees that the cost is still too high, so he gives them some rewards and pressure, and is ready to see if the cost can be lower.

After all, this thing is meant to be used to pave roads, and if the cost is too high, it can't afford it.

When I arrived at the office the next day, I didn't work for half a month, and now there is something like that in the imperial court.

There is a long way to go, Jia Lian buried himself in the table, only to feel that his head was beating painfully.

The matter of Zhuang Xian and others inspecting the shop is almost completely completed at present, and no one is facing Jia Lian on such trivial matters, so things are going smoothly for the time being, and they have temporarily established the teaching.

was thinking about the autumn harvest about the disposal of old grain, and the door of the office was suddenly knocked open with a "bang", and Jia Lian was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Second master, help, my grandfather said that it is a matter of human life, please ask the second master to help."

A person on the ground knelt panting, holding an envelope in his hand, his face was full of anxiety, and it was the smoke next to Jia Baoyu.

Xing'er and Zhuang Xian followed closely behind, and their faces were also very ugly.

"Hey, you, you said you were going to wait, why did you break in by yourself."

Stunned, Jia Lian got up and took the envelope, and opened his mouth angrily.

"You don't knock on the door, it almost scared me to death."

As he spoke, he reached out and opened the envelope, glanced at the letter roughly, and his face couldn't help twitching.

Hmph, really, he should be a big deal.

It turned out to be Jia Baoyu's affair.

Don't really say it, although Jia Lian was ignorant when he first watched this section, but when he went to school later, he was poisoned by the rotten girl in the class.

The letter said that the housekeeper of the Zhongshun Royal Mansion came to the door, and under the pressure of Jia Zheng, he betrayed his friend and called Qi Guan, and this Qi official is now in a courtyard in the suburbs, and now he is locked up by Jia Zheng and can't get out, so let Jia Lian help walk the path and go to save this Qi official in danger.

It didn't say the identity of Qi Guan, nor did it say why the Zhongshun Mansion wanted to arrest this person, but Jia Lian saw the word Qi Guan, and he almost knew the inside.

Qi Guan is Jiang Yuhan, who is rumored to be a servant of the body of the King of Zhongshun. It is rumored that the king of Zhongshun attaches great importance to this servant, and even the princess has to avoid his edge when he sees it.

So the relationship is obvious, Jia Baoyu ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, although now the king of Zhongshun has thought about it behind closed doors because of Jia Lian's relationship, but it is not possible to bully like this.

Not to mention that the second room is like that now, it is still difficult to protect itself, and Jia Zheng naturally avoids such things.

However, thinking that although Jia Baoyu betrayed others, he knew that sending a letter to himself for help was also a bit righteous.

"Is the butler gone now?"

If he leaves, Bacheng has already gone to find Na Qi Guan, and even if he takes the path to save him, he may not be in time.

Ming Yan'er heard Jia Lian say this, knowing that there was a way to do this, and hurriedly looked up in surprise.

"Back to the second master, the little one hasn't come out yet, I heard my grandfather say that I'm afraid it will be a while before leaving, my grandfather said that it is to make amends for my grandfather, and let people prepare gifts, so I'm afraid there will be a while."

Jia Lian nodded and thought about it, but it was not impossible to do it.

"Xing'er, let's go, Qiao Zhuang dress up, take people to the hot spring village, be careful not to let people notice."

Although it was a gesture, Jia Lian didn't want to get into trouble.

Xing'er responded, and Jia Lian saw that Mingyan'er was still standing, so he looked at him a little strangely.

"What are you doing here, if you don't follow, how will Xing'er know where it is."

The latter seemed to be a little hesitant when he heard this, and Jia Lian stood still when he saw this, frowning slightly.

"But what's there to talk about? Now that it's already here, what else can't be said? ”
