"Even if there is no such idea today, some people and forces will secretly contribute to the trouble, so that today will think of it and start to implement it!"

The eldest lord smiled slightly, and said something that made Lin Ruhai's face change slightly, and the second master of politics was inexplicable.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai quickly regained his composure and asked directly, "Do you need my help?" ”

The second master of politics is still confused, and he doesn't understand what the eldest master is planning.

"Just let you know in advance, don't be a gunman for some reason!"

The eldest lord shook his head and smiled: "This time is definitely a big trouble for the Xungui Group, but it is also a big opportunity if it is operated well!" ”

Lin Ruhai understood in seconds, and at the same time was a little moved, but in the end he sighed and said helplessly: "It's better for me not to participate in such a thing, so as not to cause the emperor to be unhappy!" ”

This is the worst part of the situation, there is obviously a good opportunity for speculation, but because of the preferences of the emperor today, he has to give up such a great opportunity.

Lin Ruhai was classified into the Wenchen family by the Xungui Group because he was admitted to the imperial examination, and the Wenchen family did not recognize Lin Ruhai's identity very much, and because of his marriage with Rongguofu, he was counted as half of the nobles.

Speaking of which, he is not a person inside and out, but fortunately, the eldest man pulled him out of the fire pit in Yangzhou, otherwise even if he was killed, don't expect to get much sympathy.

Ning Rong's second mansion is different, it was the pillar of the Xungui group at the beginning, although it was silent for a long time because of the first prince, and even the two mansions declined badly, but they were still one of the important members of the Xungui circle.

Not to mention, the names of the four major families in Jinling are still very influential in the capital.

When Ning Rong's second mansion was silent, the Wang family and the Shi family rose up again, no matter what, outsiders regarded the four major families of Jinling as one, and they were also a mountain force within the Xungui group.

The Xungui clique is a natural imperial party, and it can also be said to be a solid force supporting orthodoxy.

That is, the court is now facing the sky, otherwise the momentum of the Xungui Group will not be suppressed, and it will slowly let the Wenchen Group gain the upper hand, but as a member of the Xungui Group, Ning Rong's second mansion still has quite a lot of room for maneuver, at least there is no need to be as timid as Lin Ruhai, worried that his behavior will cause dissatisfaction with the current or the emperor.

This opportunity, the eldest master plans to take advantage of it and let the four major families of Jinling improve the mountain.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression, the eldest man smiled: "Don't participate in this brother-in-law, just go with the flow!" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded silently, and there were not many regrets in his heart, what the opportunity would be in the future, for now, safety was still the priority, and when the Emperor Taishang was still alive, he should not jump around.

On the other side, the second master of the government said curiously: "Big brother, does the house owe the household silver?" ”

"Naturally!"

The eldest lord nodded and said: "When our Rongfu was still in Jinling, we took over a holy drive, and there were many things such as the placement of veterans of the guards, and so on, and we borrowed one million taels of silver from the household department!" ”

"Why are there so many?"

The second master was taken aback and said in disbelief: "It seems that there is no shortage of silver in the house, right?" ”

"That is, after the founding war has subsided, there is not much shortage of silver in the house, just when the founding of the country will be fought every day, the benefits of the government can not be realized, and I have to borrow silver from the household department to tide over the difficulties!"

Of course, there is also the meaning of concealment, but there is no need for the old man to say it too clearly.

"Big brother, the house took out one million taels of silver and returned it to the household department in one go, I'm afraid it will hurt my muscles and bones!"

The second master of politics hesitated a little and said: "Or, let's see the situation?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this!"

The eldest lord said indifferently: "How could my grandfather and father not be prepared and let our descendants carry such a heavy burden?" ”

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the second master Zheng, he smiled and said, "The secret bank in the mansion has enough silver, which is prepared to pay off the silver owed by the household department!" ”

Speaking of this, the eldest lord also had to admire the foresight of the two Rong Guogongs, and secretly arranged such a hand, which saved him a lot of trouble.

If the old lady and Mrs. Wang knew that there was such a sum of silver, I am afraid that they would have already found a way to misappropriate it for their own use, and they would not care if they did not repay the silver owed by the household department, which might have a huge impact on the Rong Mansion.

The second master of politics is not in a very good mood, and there is a depression that seems to be marginalized.

It was only when he knew that even the old lady didn't know that there was a secret vault in the mansion, that he was completely relieved, and the secret vault was only known to the head of the family, and it was obvious that the eldest master was the real head of the Rong Mansion.

"Not only the Rong Mansion, but also the Ning Mansion also owes a lot of money to the household, just ask Brother Jing for this!"

The eldest lord made a decision directly, and said solemnly: "This time, the government must seize the opportunity to pay off the arrears of the household department and reap the greatest benefits!" ”

The second master of Zheng was puzzled: "Big brother, it is natural to repay debts, how can you still get benefits?" ”

"Hmph, what's right?"

The eldest lord sneered and said: "If this is the case, there have been many silver shortages in the household department before, why haven't you seen the powerful people who borrowed the silver take the initiative to repay?" ”

This one......

The second master of the government was speechless for a while, saying that borrowing silver from the household seems to be a trend in the officialdom, and he usually only hears of how much silver he borrowed from the household department to subsidize the family, and he has never heard of any family who has taken the initiative to repay the silver.

Even with his sluggishness, he also knows the inside story, once anyone becomes a bird, he is waiting to encounter the collective hatred of the entire officialdom.

Thinking of the terrible place, he couldn't help but shiver, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and reminded: "Big brother, if we make a bird, will it cause others to attack in groups?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

The eldest man sneered: "If you want to get benefits, how can you not take any risks?" ”

Seeing that the second master was still worried, he said angrily: "Okay, let's build up the momentum today, and then we will repay the silver in the name of helping the court solve the trouble, and it's decided!" ”

The eldest master made a decision directly, and neither Lin Ruhai nor the second master raised objections, and the matter was settled.

However, when the old man waits for the meeting, he has to go back to the house to persuade the old lady first, otherwise the matter of repaying the silver will cause a storm, not only will there be a lot of pressure outside, but there will also be chaos in the house.

"What, take the initiative to pay off the debt owed by the Ministry of Households?"

After the old lady heard the eldest master's thoughts, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the fool angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, are you crazy, do you know how serious the consequences of doing this are?" ”

"Of course I do!"

The eldest lord said indifferently: "But the opportunity is rare, if the operation is done well, Lian Er and the second brother can go further, and even the two cousins of the Shi family can get benefits!" ”

"It's just a little good, is it worth it?"

The old lady was not stupid, and sneered: "When the time comes, those officials who borrow money and don't want to pay it back will not hate us to death!" ”

"Yes, uncle, this kind of thing is too risky!"

Mrs. Wang echoed, but she was so angry in her heart that there was still a secret store in the Rong Mansion, and there were at least one million taels of silver left by the two princes.

As soon as she thought that the silver would be sent to the household department to pay off, she couldn't help but twitch in her heart.

It's a pity that she has been kept in the dark, if she had known that there was such a place, the silver and other good things in it would have been taken away by her!

Now that she heard that the eldest master was going to repay the silver, and it was millions of taels as soon as she repaid it, she was really angry in her heart, she had never seen such a loser.

What is there to pay back the money in the household?

It's better to divide the silver in the secret vault, and the second room can at least share the benefits of 300,000 taels.

"This opportunity is very good, I plan to pay back the silver!"

The eldest lord didn't bother to explain at all, and said with a smile: "Later, I will talk to the two cousins of the Shi family, as well as the ruler of the Wang family, it is best to let the four major families of Jinling make a move together and win a jackpot in front of today!" ”

"Boss, are you going to be angry with me?"

When the old lady heard this, she said angrily: "The old woman resolutely disagrees, you can do such an offending thing, how can Rongguo Mansion gain a foothold in the capital in the future?" ”

Gee......

Unaffected at all, the eldest lord chuckled and said, "It's too early to say this, and when the old lady sees the determination of today, she will know how to choose!" ”

After saying this, he did not mention the matter of repaying the silver, which made the old lady and Mrs. Wang feel very depressed, as if they were not qualified to interfere in such a major matter.

According to the eldest master, they, the women of the house, are indeed not qualified to interfere.

After that, he made an appointment with the two marquis of the Shi family, and said straight to the point: "An opportunity to curry favor with today, and even give the two of them the opportunity to go out to lead the troops, are you interested in participating?" ”

Such a good thing, of course, the Shijia Shuanghou is interested in participating.

But when they listened to the old man's thoughts, they couldn't help but gasp in unison, and said in surprise: "You are really not small, you dare to do such a bird!" ”

"What's not to dare?"

The eldest lord sneered and said: "The opportunity is rare, it depends on whether you dare to take risks!" ”

This risk, the Shijia Shuanghou quickly decided to take it.

What are you kidding, paying back the silver at such a juncture, even if it is for the sake of face today, you have to give them benefits, which can just help the Shi family Shuanghou get rid of the current embarrassing situation.

They don't want to stay in this place in the capital, and they have no chance of getting ahead at all, so it is better to be a local military commander.

However, they were also worried that they would encounter retaliation from the Xungui group, and it was not until they listened to the overall plan of the eldest master that they were completely relieved to prepare for a big fight.

Both the Jia family and the Shi family agreed, and it was simple to persuade the Wang family.

The eldest lord wrote a letter directly to Wang Ziteng, and it didn't take a few days to get a reply, and he directly agreed to the eldest lord's risky move.

This matter is a few times for Wang Ziteng to brush up on today's favorability, and he will naturally not let it go, although this will cause the Wang family to suffer heavy losses.

It was also when the eldest master planned to repay the silver, the situation in the court changed, and now I don't know whether it is active or passive, in the case that the household has no silver, and he is not willing to take the private treasury, he put forward the idea of emergency debt settlement!
