Inside the Wenxi Hall

Qiao Mu was listening to the reply of Min Hai, the newly hired chief steward who was in charge of raiding the house, and when he looked up, he saw Wen Qilian and a group of them walking in with anxiety on their faces, and raised his hand to signal Min Hai to stop:

"Come on, sit down.

A few girls in the back helped move a few more chairs over, one for each of them, I know you guys are strange, but don't worry, I still have something to do, just listen quietly first. ”

After saying this, he said, "You continue to say how many things you have seized from them this time!" ”

Min Hai immediately understood that this was what the old lady asked him to repeat in front of these people in the hall.

Hurriedly arched his hand:

"Back to the old lady's words, a total of 200,000 taels of silver, 6,000 taels of gold, 21 shops in the capital, two courtyards in three courtyards, 18 courtyards in two courtyards, 38 farms in five hectares, 16 farms in 10 hectares, four farms in 20 hectares, and one farm in 50 hectares.

In addition, there are eight boxes of jewelry, six boxes of antiques, three boxes of calligraphy and paintings, and six pieces of imperial gifts......"

When it came to the things given by the emperor, Min Hai's voice couldn't help but lower a little, because this thing is really a very tricky thing, it belongs to something that cannot be used, cannot be lost, and must be provided at home.

Fortunately, it was found back this time, if it was not found, and it was not recovered, or even sold, once it was exposed, it would be a major crime to be cut off at the least, or exiled at the worst.

And Wen Qilian, who was still very strange about what happened just now, had opened their mouths in surprise one by one, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief, which can't be blamed for them being so surprised, when they got married, the sister-in-law only spent more than 10,000 taels on the dowry, and the dozen concubines were only about 5,000 taels, and now although they each have a lot of private houses in their hands, even the total amount of private silver in Wen Qilian's hands does not exceed 20,000 taels, let alone the shop Zhuangzi, There is also a shop and a Zhuangzi in his daughter-in-law's dowry, and he himself has none.

Listen to how much the copyist copied out.

Good fellow, it seems that the whole house is the poorest of them, and some of the slaves below may be richer than them.

After being surprised, it is natural to be the same enemy.

After all, although those slaves are greedy for the silver in the public treasury, but the silver in these public treasury must be distributed to them after all, no matter how much each person can share, then the public treasury can only be divided as much as there is a case, if there is no at all, they will share a fart.

"Now, you should understand why I am doing these things, I don't want to hear from you if I plead, these slaves must be sold, you all pretend to be deaf and dumb for me, just don't leak the news to me, none of you can afford to lose the royal gift, fortunately I have been recovered.

Those subordinates really opened the eyes of the old body, and it was just a matter of embezzling money, and they even dared to move the things given by the emperor, and the old man saw that their necks were very hard, and they were all iron necks. Steward Min, you will sell all the people who were tied up later, and the few who copied out the royal gifts will be sold again, the price doesn't matter what, just clean them out.

In addition, you are tired of sorting out the things that have been copied out, and making a list out, and I will divide the family in two days, and then I will divide the things copied this time. ”

Qiao Mu is still soft-hearted after all, unwilling to create too many killings, if it is a different person, all those who steal the royal gifts of the family will be killed on the spot, maybe they will have to implicate a family, because if this matter really makes trouble, it is a difficult thing to get rid of, at least it is a dereliction of duty, at worst, it can be said that it is a great disrespect, and great disrespect is one of the unforgivable sins.

"Yes!" Min Hai responded.

And the eight concubines who came over below, even Wen Qilian were full of surprise, and hurriedly asked: "Why did my mother suddenly want to split up, but what is wrong with what we are doing?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just think there are too many people in the family, it's noisy, and there are many things to worry about, all of which let Huiwen work alone, it's really too tiring, originally your father died and should have split up, but because there was really no money in the house to help you buy a yard at that time, now a lot of yards have been copied from these people, and it's enough to give one to each of you, don't you take advantage of the fact that there is still a little money in the house to divide your family, you can't wait for the money to run out and then divide it, do you think that's right?"

Qiao Mu's words can be regarded as really speaking to the hearts of those concubines, they all know that the situation in the house is difficult, but they are also poor, so they are reluctant to move out in the mansion, after all, the little money they are officials is not enough to do anything, and the officials they do are also some Qingshui Yamen, there is no place to be greedy if they want to embezzle, plus the things in the capital are expensive, they can only die on the Hou Mansion for a few more years, if possible, they also want to take their son's dowry and dowry to their hands.

But now that there is such a large amount of income in the house, if the family is really divided, although they do not divide much, it is estimated that there are still thousands of taels of silver, plus the yard and the fields that may be distributed, etc., be frugal, and the life of the family can still go on, and it will save you to toss every time you ask for monthly money.

If you can be the master of your own house, who doesn't want to, it's not that there is no way before, knowing that the little assets in your hand can't be the house, and you can't be the master, once you are in charge, you may have to starve to death, but if you can really get a lot of things, and get the yard, then even if the biggest rent problem is solved, how much can you spend on daily food and drink? They don't have to socialize with other princes.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the housing prices and rents in the capital will not be low, which is also the main reason why they were reluctant to leave the Hou Mansion before, after all, there is no mortgage or anything at this time, and a set of two-entry houses will cost two or three thousand taels, which is still a little remote, if you want to be closer to the place where the officials are serving, then there may not be five or six thousand taels at all, but how many assets can they have in their hands, and they have sold all the things, and at most they will make up five or six thousand taels, and they have bought a house, drink the northwest wind?

Living in the capital, it is not easy This sentence is applicable to many officials in the capital.
