Chapter 403: Paying the Money Back
Jia Yuanchun's name, Jia Lian naturally wouldn't say it, after all, Jia Yu hates the second room very much now.
So just a little hesitation, Jia Lian turned Jia Yuanchun into Dai Quan, and changed the whole thing slightly to Jia Yu and explained.
"The last time the royal hunting ground happened, my son thought that he was the person close to the emperor in the end, and it was not a big deal, it was not impossible to give him a convenience, and this time, it should be his return to his son, so the credibility is very high."
Frowning, of course Jia Yu knew the seriousness of Jia Lian's words.
It is true that he is an old gentleman, but in the end, he has been an official in the court for so many years, and he was carefully cultivated by Jia Daishan at the beginning, so he naturally understands what kind of consequences this matter will have on the Jia family.
"How's it going?"
Directly giving up asking about the purchase and sale input, Jia Yu sighed and opened his mouth to Jia Lian, but this was to agree with Jia Lian's intention to sell his property.
After all, money is a dead thing, and it is too insignificant compared to a small life.
"I haven't told them in the East Mansion for the time being, and the government over there invested a lot of money when it built the Grand View Garden before, I want to let them make up for the shortcomings, let's make it together first, and finally see how much the difference."
Wang Xifeng's person Jia Lian knows best, with a big mouth and a wealth obsession.
If you tell her about this early in the morning, if there is no shadow, let's not say whether she believes it or not, even if she believes it, such a large amount, if you let her smash the pot and sell iron, it may be another entanglement.
It's better for Jia Lian to arrange everything here, so that she can see how much advantage she has taken advantage of, so that things can be efficient.
Nodding, Jia Yu thought of Wang Xifeng, and also understood the meaning of Jia Lian's actions, although he was not very happy in his heart, he also knew that if he wanted to take silver from Wang Xifeng's iron rooster bowl, this was already the best way.
It's just that the silver owed by the Jia family is not a small amount, and the industry is the foundation of the Jia family.
"You wait."
The heartache was unbearable, Jia Yu glanced at Jia Lian, and finally made up his mind, gave Jia Lian an order, and then walked quickly towards the inner room.
"I don't have anything else, but over the years, thanks to the blessing of the Wang family, I have also saved a lot of private houses."
Holding a key in his hand, Jia Yu's face twitched a few times, and finally handed it to Jia Lian.
"This is the key to my small treasury, you look at the things there, even if they are all sold, it will be okay, this is those shops Zhuangzi, you think about it, there are so many people in the house, but you can count on the life of so many Zhuangzi shops, you don't have to be afraid in the house over there, you can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, the silver was borrowed by the ancestors in the Internal Affairs Office, and they are the heirs, and they can't be relied on."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, Jia Yu put the key in his hand, and the coolness of the key's metal touched the palm of his hand, and he came back to his senses.
Well?
Private?
His eyes stayed on the key in his palm, and Jia Lian looked up at Jia Yu with a smile.
He remembered that Jia Yu himself had said that he had saved for decades, but he had only saved 100,000 taels of silver and two shops.
After Jia Yu finished speaking, he didn't hear Jia Lian reply, and turned his head to see that the rabbit cub was looking at him with a deep expression, and what he said to this son in the past suddenly appeared in his mind, and his old face couldn't help but turn red.
"What are you doing? Don't get out of here! ”
Annoyed and angry, Jia Yu coughed twice in embarrassment, and then flicked his sleeves fiercely pretending to be angry and walked to the back room.
"This old man ......"
Looking at Jia Yu like an old child with a funny smile, Jia Lian Wan'er took the key in his palm and looked at it, feeling emotional.
Actually, this dad is really not as bad as he imagined.
However, this exclamation did not last long.
When Jia Lian took the key to open Jia Yu's small warehouse, the corners of his eyes really jumped.
"It's all the old man's savings?"
Pointing to the room full of antique calligraphy and paintings, Jia Lian opened his mouth to Jia Yu's personal servant.
"The second master don't be embarrassed, the little ones don't know this, the master of this room has always not allowed the little ones to come in, even if it is cleaned, the master himself does it."
waved his hand again and again, and the little guy also stretched his neck curiously to look at it, and then talked back to Jia Lian.
Nodding his head to indicate that he knew, Jia Lian entered the house, and the hygiene of the house was average, and it was not as bright and clean as other places in Jiafu, which also proved the words of the little girl, but Jia Yu was so far about the treasure here, and it can also be seen that these things are in Jia Yu's heart.
But now Jia Yu is willing to hand over the key to Jia Lian, and he also released such words, which shows how important he attaches to this matter.
And the reason why Jia Lian was surprised just now was because he had seen several familiar things here.
For example, the two pairs of calligraphy and paintings that were taken to the pit Wang's pawn shop, such as the antiques that are used to being placed in the old lady's room.
Thinking of the ability of the shopkeeper of the antique shop, Jia Lian couldn't help but want to laugh.
Okay, it can be seen how tightly Jia Mu and the Wang family forced Jia Yu in the past, but they even stole their own mother's things, and made a fake one to put it on.
But looking at this full of objects, Jia Lian felt a lot more relieved.
Antiques are priceless, although this sentence is just a joke, but such a room of things, Zhuangzi probably does not need to sell them.
Time is urgent, Jia Lian doesn't know when the old emperor will start to get nervous, so he can only sell what he has in hand as soon as possible.
A room full of antiques, although they are all stolen goods, are all genuine, and everyone is also knowledgeable, so in the end they were sold for seven or eight hundred thousand.
And what went even smoother was that Jia Lian originally thought that Wang Xifeng would have to take some trouble, but he didn't think that he would just open his mouth and roughly talk about the consequences of this matter, and Wang Xifeng actually agreed.
On the contrary, Jia Rong seemed to be a little hesitant, and was scolded by Wang Xifeng.
"Think what you want! Don't look at your own brains, what is the situation in our house, is it possible that you don't have a bottom, if it weren't for the second uncle who gave me such a prescription and asked us to take the lead in the pen business, you still want to be in the position of this patriarch in peace? ”
Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng was angry, Jia Rong's inferior nature is simply not good-tempered.
When the two got married, in order to look good, Jia Zhen was a Jia Rong who donated a virtual title of dragon riding Wei.
Later, Wang Xifeng thought that Jia Rong was not as good as Jia Lian, so he prepared enough gifts and went to his mother's prince Teng a few times.
But Jia Rong always thinks that here and there, it's really useless.
On the contrary, it is useful to stay at home and take care of business.
"But this shot is 500,000, not 50,000, not thousands of aunts!"
Thinking that the 500,000 yuan would at least have to be sold for a shop to get it, Jia Rong felt even more painful.
Wang Xifeng was looking at the account book, and the fixed assets of Ning Guofu were actually more than those of Rongguo Mansion.
After all, it's the patriarch's lineage, and it hasn't been divided, so it's not a big deal to sell one or two shops or something.
Again, since Jia Lian handed over the affairs of the pen factory to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's vision has been much higher, such as this incident, if it is really as Jia Lian said, he can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, not to mention that this loan was borrowed by the ancestors of the Jia family.
The Rongguo Mansion has taken up the big head, and now it's just letting them have a small head, although Wang Xifeng is a money-loving person, he can also carry it.
Jia Lian's thighs are very strong, although 500,000 is more, but if you look closer, if the emperor fails to return the silver in time because the Jia family fails to return the silver, and finally ends up with a family raid and extermination, it will be worth the loss.
Looking at it from a distance, Wang Xifeng has learned a lot of strange things in Jia Lian's mind, the spacious and stable cement road on the experimental Zhuangzi, and the stable and comfortable carriage of Rongguo Mansion, all of which hook Wang Xifeng's soul.
She knew that if Jia Lian was willing to let her participate in these things, she wouldn't be able to get much silver in the future!
So Jia Rong's hesitation didn't last long, this home is now completely controlled by Wang Xifeng, and two Ma Yo with a slightly worse income were selected from many shops to sell, and Wang Xifeng quickly sent the money over.
"Can the rumor spread that our Jia family is benevolent to the emperor and scatters all the family wealth just to fill the treasury?"
The account book in front of him was opened, Jia Lian checked one item after another, confirmed that the amount was enough, and then spoke to Xing'er next to him.
Taking out a few million taels of silver at one time, even in the capital, this is a bombshell.
Therefore, it is too easy to take it out so easily, which will inevitably make colleagues jealous, and even cause a lot of incidents.
Second, it made the emperor feel that the Jia family was obviously rich but did not pay it back, which added to the fire.
So in fact, when Zhen Qiyao Shijia asked Jia Lian to repay the loan in installments together, of course Jia Lian couldn't ask for it, but now he can't help himself, in order to prevent the old emperor from using this reason to use the Jia family as a raft, Jia Lian can only choose this road.
And releasing such a rumor is to give everyone a sense that the Jia family spent money this time, and they really smashed the pot and sold iron to pay it back.
At the same time, Jia Lian also gave twenty other places in Rongguo Mansion to dismiss the extra subordinates in the mansion.
Most of the descendants of the Jia family are born to the family, and some of them are the descendants of the girl with the death deed bought from outside.
In fact, there are so many masters of the Jia family, but according to statistics, there are more than 100 people in the family.
So what Jia Lian meant, these twenty places, one place is ready for twenty taels of silver, two horses of material that have been backlogged in the warehouse for a long time.
In the past, Jia Lian didn't care about the furniture that everyone saved in Jiafu, but these 20 places could go out of the house with silver and materials, as well as their own deed of sale.
With their own deed of sale, then the moment they step out of Jiafu, they are no longer slaves of the Jia family, but ordinary people who are upright and can participate in the imperial examination!
And the reason why I have done so much is to add a kind of Jia family to repay the loan, and they have done their best, and even hollowed out their family funds.
In this way, the money is returned, and other people will definitely be resentful when they see the Jia family, but the fate of the Jia family will also make them feel more comfortable.
"I have sent people out according to the master's instructions to take over the merchants of our shop and antiques, and the minions have also been arranged, so that they don't have to hide and tuck, if anyone asks, just say a spade."
In fact, Mrs. Wang has not done such a thing as selling property before.
It's just that generally for a family, selling property is already a sign of decline, and it is even more panicked to sell it.
Therefore, even if someone is forced to sell their property, they are generally hidden, hoping not to let people know about it, but Jia Lian is the opposite, not only selling it in a hurry, but the price is not high, and even deliberately letting people spread these news. Although Xing'er didn't understand Jia Lian's intention to do this, she still told the truth.
In order to get the money together as soon as possible, whether it is a shop or a shareholder or something, Jia Lian is about 20% lower than the market price.
Twenty percent, jumping off the building is not an exaggeration.
Nodding with satisfaction, Jia Lian had already sorted out the account books in his hand, more than two million taels of silver, a denomination of one thousand taels, and a large box full of silver tickets alone.
"Lift up, let's go!"
It hurts a little, but there is no way, Jia Lian took a deep breath and asked people to carry things into the carriage.
With such a large amount at one time, it was returned directly to the household department, and Jia Lian was not at ease.
After all, human nature is greedy, and it is such a sensitive matter, two million taels, this is not Zhen Qiyao's 500,000 taels.
If the people from the household department give him a no, or a collective amnesia or something, the old emperor is looking at the opportunity to rectify him, then it is a ready-made handle.
So what Jia Lian has to do now is to take advantage of the fact that it is still early, and directly get the things into the palace and hand them over to the emperor.
Approaching the palace gate, Jia Lian looked at the towering palace wall and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
For so many days, he tried to get things done as soon as possible, but he even spent his working hours doing this.
Now that it is finally completed, as long as he enters this door and hands over the things to the old emperor, in the future, Jia Lian will no longer have to worry about this bad thing!
Mei Zizi thought about it, the guards at the door wanted to open the box for inspection on routine business, but in order not to stir up the crowd, Jia Lian simply took out the royal gold medal.
"The emperor personally enlightened, you can just carry it in and follow the official in."
There are too many guards at the gate of the palace, if it is opened here, I am afraid that Jia Lian has not seen the emperor yet, and the news that he carried the silver into the palace will spread all over Daxuan.
It's just that Jia Lian knows the emperor's character, and if Jia Lian does that, I'm afraid it will disgust the old emperor.
The royal gold medal has an amnesty that can be cut first and then played, and the guards looked at each other, although they didn't know what to do, but they didn't dare to disobey Jia Lian's meaning after all.
After all, even this thing was made, and if something happened to them after they opened it, it wouldn't be something they could afford.
Again, if the emperor came to give the gold medal in person, they did not dare to have other thoughts and actions except to kneel and shout long live long live.
In the imperial study, the emperor was talking to the prince, Dai Quan was standing at the door, looking at his eyes and nose, although it looked like nothing on the surface, but in fact, his ears had already been erected, silently listening to the conversation between the emperor's father and son.
"When Erchen heard the news, he directly sent someone to invite someone, but it was true, and he was not alone, there were more than 20 merchants who talked about it, and the price that he finally took over was much cheaper than the market price, it seems that he really smashed the pot and sold iron."
