Chapter 14 Governance

Ji Qing's guess was not wrong at all.

When Ji Zheng bought this house in the new year, the former owner's family returned to their hometown, and the old family was originally going to leave Beijing, but because of some things to delay for two months, and I didn't want to spend more money to find a place to live, so I begged Ji Zheng to live in this house for two more months.

Ji Zheng agreed.

After this house is bought, it will have to be repaired before it will be delivered to Ji Qing's hands, and it will take almost a few months in between, so it is not a big deal to let this old man stay for two more months.

But what no one expected was that this house had just been repaired, and before Ji Qing had even taken a look, something happened to the Ji family, and naturally no one informed the old man to leave.

And this old man, at the beginning, lived alone in the gatehouse, and after the Ji family's accident, seeing that no one had come to the main family, he had the courage to take his old wife over to live with him, and later took his son, daughter-in-law and grandson over, and the family even dispelled the idea of returning to his hometown in the countryside.

For these, the family is not unreasonable.

Therefore, hearing Ji Qing say this, the family all looked away, but they didn't dare to say anything else.

Ji Qing knew at a glance that he was right, and said lightly: "One person's monthly money of one or two silver a month?" Holly, tell me, how much money does the concierge in our house have in January? ”

Holly snorted coldly: "Madam, the monthly money of our house is five dollars of silver, just this is Mrs., you are sympathetic, when the old man in the concierge does not say the last sentence of Mrs. mercy?" ”

Holly is also right.

Take He Mansion as an example, it's not that no one in the house can get one or two monthly money, such as honeysuckle and holly, they are the big girls next to Ji Qing, the monthly money in January is two taels, and the second-class maids below are one or two, as for the little maids and mothers-in-law who sprinkle and sweep, the monthly money is only a few dollars of silver.

And to be a concierge, in addition to having a good memory and being able to recognize people, you don't need any skills, and the monthly money is really not high.

However, the porter of a large family always gets the reward money from the masters all day long, which is another story.

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and said that their family of five wanted a tael of monthly money, which was really a lion's mouth.

"Do you hear that?" Ji Qing said, "Your family is a family of five, but my father only needed a porter, according to the monthly example of five dollars a month, it was only sixty taels in ten years, not to mention how much money is per month, only that your family dared to move to the wing room in the inner courtyard to live, for this point, no one will say anything even if I kill you with a cane." ”

Ji Qing obviously said these words in an extremely calm tone, but listening to the ears of that family made them cold from the beginning to the bottom.

"You might as well guess if I can spend six hundred taels of silver on killing your family with a rod?" Ji Qing said.

The family that was greedy before, like quails now, dare not say a word again.

Although Ji Qing didn't say it explicitly, they all heard it, Ji Qing was clearly asking, can the five lives of their family be worth six hundred taels of silver?

You must know that the servants and maids are the private property of the master's family, even if the master's staff kills the servants and maids, at most it will be enough to give some money in the official mansion, and there is no need to pay any price.

The middle-aged woman also saw that Ji Qing was easy to talk to, thinking that Ji Qing was thin-skinned and would not tear her face with them, so she wanted to make more money from Ji Qing, and where could she think that Ji Qing could say in a few words that their family's life was worth a few dollars?

As Ji Qing said, even if their family was killed by Ji Qing's cane, they really didn't need six hundred taels.

At this time, the family was really scared.

The middle-aged man was afraid, but suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly raised his voice: "This lady, you can't dispose of us privately, we didn't sell ourselves to your mansion, our family is a good citizen!" ”

Xu saw hope because of this incident, and the middle-aged man's voice became louder and louder, and in the end it even seemed extremely sharp.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our family has not sold themselves!" ”

At the beginning, Lao Su just begged Ji Zheng to stay in this house for two more months, and Ji Zheng gave him half a year's monthly money, and their family was indeed not the servants of the Ji family.

As he spoke, the family breathed a sigh of relief.

They all felt that since their family was not the servants and maids of the lady in front of them, then this lady would not be able to deal with them, and even if they had to move out of the house immediately, it would be better than being killed with a cane.

The old woman also said again and again: "This lady, our family is wrong, we shouldn't live in the wing, and we shouldn't be greedy, madam, you have a lot, just spare us this time, let's move immediately, move immediately!" ”

Lao Sue also nodded.

The family looked at Ji Qing expectantly.

At this time, they didn't dare to think about taking any more benefits from Ji Qing.

Ji Qing's eyes fell on this family, "You were not happy to let you go before, but now it is not so easy to leave, since your family is not my Ji ...... None of them are my servants, so how will the rent be calculated if you live in this house for the past ten years? ”

Rent?

The whole family was dumbfounded.

The house in Sanjin is in such a location, I don't know how sought-after it is, if you really want to rent it, how can the rent for a year not be less than two hundred taels or ten years......

I can't afford to sell them, and my family can't afford it!

Thump!

Thump!

……

A series of "plopping" sounds sounded, and the family of five knelt on the ground in unison.

"Madam, just spare us, it's us who deserve to die, we actually had such thoughts, but we really can't get the rent......"

"Madame, you have a lot of ......."

"Please spare us......

Crying and begging, the appearance of a handful of snot and tears can be very different from the previous greed.

Honeysuckle and Holly couldn't be happier.

Let this family not know what to do, and the lion opens his mouth, they should be treated like this!

Ji Qing looked at the family crying and howling coldly, and after a long while, he said, "Now, are you willing to move out with the silver ticket?" ”

Crying.

This family is overjoyed, right?

I thought that Ji Qing really wanted to find them to recover the rent for the past ten years, but where would he have thought that he would be able to move out with a hundred taels of silver?

This time, the family did not hesitate.

"Madame, let's move, let's move!"

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am!"

After saying that, the middle-aged woman glanced at Ji Qing, carefully took the silver ticket from Honeysuckle's hand, and then moved their family's things out one by one as quickly as possible.
