"Five hundred taels of silver." Zhao Yuankun said again.

"What?" Zhao Yuanliang's eyes widened suddenly.

Zhao Yuankun frowned: "You don't think this position fell from the sky, do you?" If you don't take the money, who will give you this position? I spent 1,500 taels on that. ”

He snorted coldly: "That's it, I still asked for my contacts for many years." Otherwise, there are many people in the capital who are waiting for this official position with silver in their hands, how can it be your turn? Five hundred taels is five thousand taels, and there are many that people want. ”

It's the truth.

The wealthy nobles in Beijing are not short of money, what they lack is power, vacancy, and the future of their children.

That is, there are few people in Suiping Bofu. Other people, which is not a few dozen people? These children stay at home and eat idle meals and have to make trouble, even if they spend a little more money, the elders are willing to ask for an official position for their children.

If you do a good job, you can go up the ranks. In addition to the monthly income, there are various incomes, and the money spent can always be recovered. The most important thing is that after being promoted, the entire family is stained. One pulls one by one, and the overall status of the family goes up.

In the past, Zhao Yuanxun was not reluctant to spend money, but he couldn't find a way with the silver.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanliang was a little skeptical.

Five hundred taels of silver can you get such a position? Zhao Yuankun wasn't joking with him, or cheating him of the money in his hand, right? Otherwise, how could it be that he had exactly the amount of money in his hand?

"Then thank you for the third brother's support." He raised his hand and arched towards Zhao Yuankun, "But you know the situation in our second room, and you have no money to spare." The family hasn't gone to drink the northwest wind yet, thanks to the difference in the price of the field that you compensated me for the third brother. Nowadays, the family needs to eat, and it costs money to repair the house; Although Wei's is not good, he is also married to me, and I have to collect her, which requires money. ”

He sighed: "I really can't take out the five hundred taels of silver." Or the third brother, you can help me cushion first. When I take office, find a way to take back the two shops under the Wei family's name, and then use the shops to offset the silver you advance? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuankun couldn't wait to splash the tea on the table on Zhao Yuanliang's face.

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness.

This deputy envoy of the Jingwei Command Envoy Division, even if he has connections, he also spent a thousand taels to deal with it. Now that Zhao Yuanliang is asked to pay five hundred taels, he still can't pay a penny, and he wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

If it weren't for the people in Zhan Shifu suggesting that he let others occupy this position, he also hoped that Zhao Yuanliang would be able to feed back to him after taking office, so that he could be more reused by Zhan Shifu's boss, so he wouldn't care about Zhao Yuanliang.

"You pay two hundred taels, and I will advance three hundred taels for you, but you have to write an IOU. Otherwise, it's over. He said with a grimace on his face.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yuanliang touched his chin and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take two hundred taels." But this IOU doesn't need it, right? Let's be brothers, it's too much to write an IOU. Don't worry, brother, I'm not dishonest. If you borrow, you must pay back. Besides, I'll have to get a shop when the time comes. ”

Zhao Yuankun forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Okay, hurry up." "If he grinds again, he can't help but beat people.

Only then did Zhao Yuanliang signal Zhao Xing to move the box, and counted twenty silver ingots to Zhao Yuankun - this is still the money that Zhao Yuankun just gave him yesterday.

Zhao Yuankun called his subordinates to carry the burden of silver, got up and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county with my eldest brother to go to the Toda deed." I'll take care of it the day after tomorrow, maybe I'll call you to take office the day after tomorrow. Do not run around these days, lest you find no one. ”

Zhao Yuanliang was pondering, if Zhao Yuankun lost his words and took his two hundred taels of silver and lost his money, how would he run to his house to make a fuss and take the family to his house to eat and drink.

As soon as he heard Zhao Yuankun's words, it didn't seem like he was blinded by him, he was immediately overjoyed, and arched his hand: "I am waiting for your good news at home as a brother." ”

Zhao Yuankun's mood eased a little and stood up: "It's not too early, then I'll leave." ”

Zhao Yuanliang got up diligently, intending to send Zhao Yuankun out.

Zhao Yuankun took two steps and said as if unintentionally: "I see that your house is a mess, and it's really not good to have a housewife." And if you want to be an official, do you have to come back every day to deal with trivial things at home? ”

Zhao Yuanliang let out a long sigh: "This can't be done. ”

Looking at the situation just now, he knew that he couldn't keep the house in order with just two concubines. Not only is it not good, but it is more chaotic.

But he insisted on handing over the home to Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue couldn't hold the family down.

In order to fight for power, Aunt Wang just asked someone to drop two worthless vases. If she wasn't allowed to participate in the housekeeping, she didn't know what was going to happen.

She was pregnant, and she was at the most delicate time. Even if he loves to be a demon, Zhao Yuanliang is really reluctant to sell her, so he can only make do with it.

"I heard from a friend that Wei's is these two days." Zhao Yuankun said.

Zhao Yuanliang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a sad mood.

Husband and wife, although when Zhao Yuanliang was angry before, he wanted to strangle Wei to death. But when it really came to this point, he still felt panicked in his heart.

"You can't do this, it's hard to find an errand, if you are dragged down by your family and do a bad job, you will be in trouble. If the matchmaker is unreliable, there is no truth in her mouth. I'll let your three siblings keep an eye on you. Marrying a widow or abandoned woman with a good dowry can also ease the situation in your family. ”

Zhao Yuanliang was sincerely grateful this time.

He waved at Zhao Yuankun: "Thank you, third brother." ”

"Okay, you still have injuries on your body, you don't need to send them. Brothers, don't be so polite. Zhao Yuankun waved his hand and walked out.

When he walked to the door, he almost bumped into Zhao Ruyu, who was about to enter the house with a snack.

Zhao Ruyu was frightened by Zhao Ruxi, she was not in good spirits, and she didn't want to participate in the struggle for power between Aunt Xue and Aunt Wang, so she planned to go back to the house to rest.

Helplessly, the furniture in her yard had to be moved, and there was no place to rest, so she had to stand there, listen to the two aunts and Zhao Rurui arguing, and supervise the maid and mother-in-law to move things by the way, so as not to let them break it again.

Because the second room is now indistinguishable from the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, Zhao Yuankun followed the maid in, and happened to pass through the chaos of moving things, and was seen by Zhao Ruyu.

Thinking of Zhao Ruxi's reminder, Zhao Ruyu felt a pang in her heart, thought about it, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a snack to Zhao Yuanliang.

Zhao Yuanliang's door was guarded by a small servant, she was not easy to eavesdrop, and she was planning to break in without a pass. I didn't expect to hear Zhao Yuankun's last words.

"Third uncle." She raised a smile and said to Zhao Yuankun, "I saw you coming just now, and I was about to send some snacks in to entertain you." What are you...... Going? ”
