According to the timeline of the Red Mansion, Jia Lian found that even if he had his own butterfly, many things were still happening, so even though the Jia family had no signs of being raided now, he was prepared for a rainy day, and if he could sell Dai Quan a favor within the conditions, it would be fine.

After all, Dai Quan, as the emperor's close eunuch, is the first to know no matter what happens, so that even if there is any change in the Jia family in the future, he can prepare in advance.

Of course, this also has to see what is going on, if the consequences are too serious, this kind of favor will not be sold.

Otherwise, if you involve yourself, the gains outweigh the losses.

And Jia Lian is selfish, if it is a big treacherous thing, he doesn't want to take action.

Dai Quan naturally understood the meaning of Jia Lian's words, and scolded him again, but he had to speak.

He also wanted to directly kill Jia Lian and his party without realizing it, but he had already asked Zhang Liang just now, in fact, the guards in the hunting ground did not know about the sale of the grain.

On weekdays, there are many benefits for these guards, but what they bought was their blind eyes and really did things, but Zhang Liang had his own manpower, so the guards on the hunting ground were indeed suspected of dereliction of duty, but they did not participate in the reselling of grain.

And no matter how high the status of Indulgence Power is, after all, he is just a slave in the palace, but he can't order these people, and these people may not cooperate.

So convincing Jia Lian and asking Jia Lian to help cover is the best plan.

Of course, if you can't convince you......

The gloom flashed in his eyes, and Dai Quan suppressed the anger in his heart and told the cause and effect of the matter.

"His short-sightedness is part of it, and the other is that he used to be poor and afraid in his hometown, you know people like us, if it weren't for the real difficulties at home, how would the family be willing to send it to this place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

Later, he finally survived to today's status, and saw that there was so much grain in the granary, although it was old grain, but it was only two or three years, and it was old grain for a rich and noble family like them, but for us, it was a life-saving thing. ”

Speaking of this, it seemed a little sentimental, Dai Quan tucked the corners of his eyes with his hand, and looked up at Jia Lian with an embarrassed smile.

"Let Master Jia smile, when I was a child, my family was poor, hungry and full, at that time, I was hungry and could only pour cold water desperately, thinking of that bitter time, I couldn't help it."

With a faint smile, Jia Lian had to say a few more polite words, Dai Quan felt satisfied, and then continued.

"So there is so much food, the palace can't eat it all, and some people outside want to eat but don't have to eat, he sees the grain rotting in the granary little by little, it's really bleeding in his heart, it's all food, it's all life!"

With a heavy sigh in the last word, Dai Quan pointed at Zhang Liang again.

"So he was fascinated for a while, and as long as the new grain was put into the warehouse every year, he would sell all the old grain of the first year."

As he spoke, he paused and looked at Jia Lian.

"But my lord, this kid is sincere, he sold the grain, most of the money was given to incomplete people like us below, and the rest of the filial piety to me, the old immortal, I didn't say anything for fear that I was worried, but what is the situation in the palace, do you know, which of those nobles is easy to serve? You have to do it everywhere. This goes back and forth, and the silver is gone. ”

Originally, because of Dai Quan's words, Jia Lian felt a little touched in his heart, but when this sentence was spoken, Jia Lian immediately woke up.

Hehehe, the silver is gone.

That's the point.

Drinking tea again, Jia Lian took a deep breath.

"Have you been to the granary?"

There are dozens of granaries in the royal hunting ground, large and small, and now Dai Quan means that all the grain in it has been sold.

Fifty or sixty square meters of houses are generally three granaries, and these dozens or hundreds of tons of grain are sold, and the silver is just like that.

Dai Quan didn't expect Jia Lian to ask this, he was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Zhang Liang with some hesitation, and then shook his head.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"This is the account book of the granary, please take a look at it yourself."

Hearing this, he already knew that Dai Quan was afraid that he would also be put in a position by his relative, so Jia Lian directly put the account book that Xiao Yuanzi had asked Xiao Yuanzi to take in front of Dai Quan.

It is also these people who are fat, as long as the royal granary has enough to eat, it is normal that no one has investigated for decades.

Therefore, they are not keen on making false accounts at all, which leads to the fact that there are only records of entering the warehouse at the beginning of the account book, and there is no record of leaving the warehouse.

In this way, the amount of grain in the granary is clear at a glance, and it is also ironclad evidence.

I said before that Dai Quan actually only got one-tenth of it, so when he saw the last page of the account book, he was stunned.

This is a business without capital, and it can no longer be simply described by the word profiteering.

Although he saw Xiao Yuanzi being escorted and kneeling on the ground, Zhang Liang didn't expect that this little coward and fool had already handed over the account book.

Immediately, his face was also miserable, his eyes glared at Xiao Yuanzi, and he was worried.

The reason why he was able to persuade Dai Quan to help them was that in addition to threats, the feelings accumulated over the years of filial piety were also a major factor.

But now this lie is easily broken with just an account book, even if Dai Quan helps them solve the matter now because of the difficulty of riding a tiger, then it may be necessary to settle accounts in the future.

Who is Dai Quan?

To be able to go from a small sweeping eunuch to the position of the current head of Ouchi (harmony) step by step, will he be a good person?

Don't be funny, the blood on his hands may not even be able to count himself.

It's not just killing with your own hands that you kill people.

Glancing at Xiao Yuanzi and Zhang Liang sharply, Dai Quan endured a breath in his heart.

Previously, when Zhang Liang found him and asked him to come forward to talk to Jia Lian, he rejected him. It wasn't until Zhang Liang talked about this incident that he had no choice but to come forward, and he never told him that there was such an inside story here.

At this time, it was not the time to pursue it, Dai Quan retracted his gaze, put the account book on the table, and his face was still smiling with the same meaning, but the haze in the depths of his eyes flashed.

"Wise people don't talk darkly, and this booklet doesn't really mean much to us."

The wrench on his hand turned slightly, and Dai Quan opened his mouth towards Jia Lian.

Jia Lian asked him to look at the account book, which was nothing more than to refute what he said about where the money went.

It's just that now that things have happened, if Jia Lian asks for money, he doesn't care. Anyway, now that the account book is here, he already knows that Zhang Liang and his son have hidden a lot of money in their private warehouse over the years, and they have scattered their wealth to eliminate disasters.

If it is really something that can be solved by silver, let their father and son pay for them to buy their two heads, which is already a sure thing.

It's just that Jia Lian doesn't actually want money in his heart, it's only a matter of time before he makes money, and there are many ways. Now that I ask like this, I actually have the meaning of wanting to sell favors to Dai Quan.

stealing public property and reselling it, in Jia Lian's view, is still within the tolerable range. It's not enough to be a gesture, and it's not impossible to sell the right to wear a favor.

It's just that since he wants to sell favors, Jia Lian must make Dai Quan feel that he owes Jia Lian, and he must also be grateful to Dai De and convinced.

Freedom will allow Dai Quan to send someone to know Jia Lian in time when the Jia family is in danger.

So reaching out to pick up the account book, Jia Lian looked at Dai Quan with bewilderment in his eyes.

"Based on my friendship with the chief manager, as well as the adult's righteousness to Jia in the past, in fact, this favor is just a gesture for me, but I think this is only a symptom after all."

Although this place is not necessarily remembered for 180 years except for Jia Lian, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if something really happens, it is estimated that their heads will not be stable for a few days.

But if you follow Jia Lian's instructions, even if this matter is turned out again in the future, there is no need to be afraid.

Hearing this, not only Dai Quan, but even Zhang Liang looked at Jia Lian incredulously.

As long as this kind of thing is a stain from the beginning, no matter how long it takes, as long as it is found out, it will not escape the death penalty.

But now Jia Lian actually said that the symptoms are not cured, is this difficult, what else can be done, can it be cured?

With anticipation in their eyes, Dai Quan and Zhang Liang looked at Jia Lian.

"You should know that if this kind of thing reaches the ears of the emperor, it will not only be a dereliction of duty and a private bag, but also a crime of deception!"

The crime of bullying the king can destroy the nine clans, except for the emperor's own willingness, otherwise no matter who is contaminated, there is basically no way to live, and it will also affect the family.

And although Zhang Liang Daiquan is a eunuch, he still has family members outside the palace, and it is a bit cruel to send them to the palace at a young age, but in such a chaotic era, they are afraid that they will not live long.

So whether it's remembering his family or worrying about himself, Jia Lian's current words have a fatal temptation for them.

"Ask the adults for advice, please give the adults guidance for the little ones, how can we cure this matter?"

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't react, Zhang Liang hurriedly spoke anxiously.

Jia Lian nodded in response, and then slowly spoke.

"This official is here this time, and the chief should know what it is for."

Previously, when Jia Lian entered the palace to report on the street sanitation and fines, he said by the way that he would come over to inspect, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Dai Quan has always served the emperor, and basically every time Jia Lian comes, he can see him next to him, so he really knows these things clearly.

"Lord Jia is here for money this time?"

This wealth is not the other wealth, Dai Quan originally told Zhang Liang that Jia Lian went to the granary this time for office work, but he forgot that there was still this stubble.

The reason why Jia Lian asked the emperor for the imperial gold medal was to fill the treasury.

Knowing that Dai Quan understood what he meant, Jia Lian stopped going around the bend.

"Instead of being frightened, according to me, it is better to send the silver directly to the saint, just saying that it is unbearable to watch the grain rot in the granary, so the second-class old grain is sold and replaced with silver, but because the grain is the emperor's, the silver is also the emperor's, so it has not touched a penny."

Dai Quan's face immediately turned happy when he heard this, but Zhang Liang's face was ugly.

He has been in this position for decades, and in order to hide people's eyes, every time he carries food, he will give a lot of benefits to those who are soldiers, in order to let them relax their vigilance.

Therefore, every time grain is bought and sold, he personally directs and transports it.

And because it's a shady thing, it's always a little lower than the price on the market.

Small profits are quick turnover, and there must be a lot of silver sold, but people are also tired and tired.

But now Jia Lian wants him to spit out this silver!

His lips pursed, and Zhang Liang looked at Dai Quan.

He was looking for Dai Quan to persuade Jia Lian, hoping that he could turn a blind eye to the past, but now that Jia Lian is like this, the silver does not need to be paid by Dai Quan, and the matter is solved again, and his son is naturally happy. But after being busy for decades, in the end, it turned out to be a bamboo basket for water, how could he be willing.

As if sensing the unhappiness in Zhang's conscience, Jia Lian thought about it and spoke to Dai Quan.

"Ping'an Zhou is now pure and wants to move, and the matter of Yuehai and his relatives is about to set off, and the treasury is empty, if this silver is sent up at this time, not only is there no fault, but it is also a credit."

Originally, what Jia Lian promised the old emperor was to deposit silver, but now it's good, and people will send it directly to the door, and they will not lie in vain.

Although Jia Lian was talking to Dai Quan, the corner of his eye was looking at Zhang Liang.

is different from what Jia Lian thought, if it is someone else, scattering wealth and eliminating disasters, and being able to show his face in front of the emperor, it is a great honor, it should be positive, but the face of the person is already gloomy, and the eyes that look at Jia Lian are also fierce.

"What are you not satisfied with, I think this reason is very good, money is something outside the body, and now just a little money will save your life, be content!"

Speaking at Zhang Liang hatefully, Dai Quan snorted coldly.

"You settle the accounts immediately, and then according to the hand-picked in the account book, make up the money from the grain sales, and Lord Jia and I will take it directly into the palace."

Everyone knows that it is basically impossible to say that it is all together, such as the ones that Dai Quan ate in his mouth, it is impossible for him to vomit. There are also bribes that Zhang Liang gave to those soldiers in order to hide people's eyes, and it is impossible for these people who have been given away to chase them back.

In addition, he used it himself, and Xiaoyuanzi took it to make some points, and the total income over the years will be reduced by about 20%, which is the real property in Zhang Liang's hands and the family property that is ready to be passed on to Xiaoyuanzi from outside.

It is also Jia Lian's proposal to hand over the means to the country to ensure safety.

There is no doubt about Dai Quan's words, and now that the charges have reached this level, even if Zhang Liang is reluctant, he has to do what Jia Lian said.

Zhang Liang Xiaoyuanzi went to count himself, and only Zhuang Xian, Jia Lian and his party were left in the house for a while, as well as Dai Quan, talking and laughing and greeting each other, until dusk, Zhang Liang and the others handed over the newly made account books to the two of them.

On this account book is the silver that has been sold for all these years.

It's just a little above the price, but it's another story.

But since it is to be presented to the emperor, the details must be refined.

Speaking of which, Jia Lian will not enter the palace today, let Dai Quan go back with the account book, and this credit will naturally be credited to Dai Quan.

The credit fell on him like pie in the sky, Dai Quan was excited, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, he just wanted to go back to ask the emperor for credit as soon as possible.
