Zhao Dian bowed his head and said: "In the past, the income from the shops, granges and caravans in the mansion will be put into our public account, plus the master you can subsidize from time to time, so even if the income and expenditure are uneven, you can make up for it, but since we followed Your Majesty to Yuncheng, your side will no longer take out money to enter the public account." ”

That part is the inheritance left to him by Zhao Changyu, when he left Luoyang, he felt that he was ready to die, and naturally it was impossible to take his family with him, so he handed over all the money to Zhao Hanzhang.

"A year ago, you gave an account and asked the stewards to dissect the property, except for the house, shop and grange you added, the rest of the property was handed over to the fifth master to take care of, and even the account books and seals were sent back."

Oh, Zhao Zhongyu remembered, a year ago, he was dizzy because of Zhao Ji's stupidity, and he knew from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for the clan to be handed over to Zhao Ji.

Therefore, in order to avoid resentment within the clan in the future because of the dispute over property, he deliberately asked people to divide their private property, and the share of assets that should be taken by the patriarch should be temporarily handed over to Zhao Song to take care of.

In the future, whether Zhao Yi is the patriarch or Zhao Erlang's son is the patriarch, he can get that asset directly from Zhao Song's hands.

That is the accumulation of the Zhao family over the years, the clan inheritance, the eldest son can be divided into seventy, and the remaining thirty percent is inherited by other heirs, so that seventy percent and seventy percent, one son passes on one son, and there is such a family business until now.

In this way, the family can not be destroyed, and only when there is a strong descendant can the clan be protected.

Therefore, this family business is not only the patriarch's family, but also the clan's.

It is also because of this that Zhao Changyu will hand over most of his property to Zhao Zhongyu to inherit, and Zhao Zhongyu, even if he is unwilling, after seeing his son's stupidity and short-sightedness, he can only endure the pain and return to the clan, so as to wait for a more competent patriarch in the future.

"So...... Without that asset, I don't have any money? ”

Zhao Zhongyu couldn't believe it.

Zhao Dian lowered his head and whispered: "Master, most of the houses, shops and granges you bought in the past are in Luoyang, and Luoyang has only sporadically entered the accounts this year, and we have relied on the two Zhuangzi and fields in Xiping to raise it." ”

"How can I only have two Zhuangzi in Xiping? I remember there were several shops, a lot of fields. ”

Zhao Dian's voice was even quieter, "The small account book, that part you exchanged for Sanniang four years ago, and it was for Luoyang's shops and granges." ”

Zhao Zhongyu stopped talking at all, he was in a trance, and he didn't react until this time, "You said, four years ago, she exchanged Luoyang's shop and grange for me, was she sure that Luoyang would be in turmoil?" ”

Zhao Dian lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Zhongyu's heart is very complicated, he is not very angry at this time, and he is still a little proud, but it is more sour, how can the luck of the eldest brother always be better than him?

Born to the same father, the eldest brother is smarter than him, he gave birth to a smart son, but he is weak; Although his son is not as smart as Zhao Zhi, he is strong and strong;

At this point, the two of them are tied.

But he has a smarter, healthy grandson.

Zhao Changyu will choose Zhao Ji to inherit the title, isn't it because of Zhao Yi?

So Zhao Zhongyu felt that God was fair to their brothers, at least better than his grandson, he won.

But going around and around, he still lost, his granddaughter was much stronger than his grandson, even better than him.

If she could have foreseen Luoyang's fall four years ago, this vision would not be worse than her grandfather's.

"Master, what should I do with this money?" Zhao Dian's question pulled back Zhao Zhongyu's thoughts.

Zhao Zhongyu came back to his senses and asked, "Have you found everything, can't squeeze out the money?" ”

"The small one only left the daily necessities of the money, and the rest was calculated, but it was not enough."

Zhao Zhongyu stretched out his hand to take the account book, flipped through it and pointed to a road: "Remove this, it is difficult for the family to be like this, what kind of sheep and scorpions do you eat?" ”

"This is for the master, he is recuperating from his injuries, and he said that he wants to make up for his ......."

"What is the form to make up the form, that is all a fallacy, he is not a sheep, what form is to be supplemented?" Zhao Zhongyu paused and said: "If he really wants to eat, go back and ask someone to go to the vegetable market to see if there are any shaved sheep bones, and take two pieces back to stew soup." ”

Zhao Dian should be down.

Zhao Zhongyu flipped over, his brows furrowed more and more, "Why is his expenses so big, he is hurt, he is still drinking, go and put away all his wine, ask the restaurant if it can be refunded, if not, you find someone to find a way to sell it." ”

"And these medicines," Zhao Zhongyu paused, but still endured it, and did not deprive his son of the right to take medicine, "Next time, don't invite the doctor to come to the door, let people carry him to the pharmacy for consultation, just let him relax." ”

The doctor comes to the door to ask for a carriage fee, which can save a little bit.

Zhao Zhongyu is worthy of being Zhao Changyu's younger brother, and it was just that he didn't pay attention to it before, but when he noticed it, he was still very thrifty and his brother's demeanor.

Flip through your ledger and cross off one or two unnecessary expenses from time to time, or replace them with cheaper ones.

Even the vegetables, he did not allow the slaves in the family to go to the East Market vegetable market again, but asked to go to the South Market, it is best to go to the small market not far from the city gate to buy, where the peasants outside the city from time to time pick some in and sell, because it is not large-scale, the price is also very arbitrary, and you can cut it down if you cut it.

Zhao Zhongyu even lowered his own living standards, so he could squeeze out a lot of the money he retained, but it was still not enough.

Zhao Zhongyu frowned and asked, "Is there anything that can be quickly realized in Jizhi?" Some gold and silver ornaments, or jade will do. ”

Zhao Dian didn't know much about Zhao Ji's things, but Zhao Zhongyu had it here, "There is a gold-inlaid hair crown in the master's treasury. ”

It was worn by Zhao Zhongyu when he was young, and he liked it very much, but because he was older, he no longer wore gold-inlaid ones, but changed them to jade ones.

Zhao Zhongyu didn't hear it, and after thinking about it seriously, he said: "I remember that he has a saddle there, which is inlaid with jade pieces, warm in winter and cool in summer, you can find it tomorrow, now that many generals have arrived, this thing is very easy to shoot." ”

Zhao Dian responded and retreated silently.

Zhao Jidu hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and now that he was locked up to recuperate, he didn't know about it at all, so Zhao Dian went to the warehouse in his yard and rummaged through it, turned out the saddle and took it away.

He only went out for half a day, and then he came back with a bag of golden beans.

Zhao Zhongyu handed over these golden beans and the money he had squeezed out before to Zhao Hanzhang, and said indifferently: "Tell me again if it's not enough." ”

Zhao Hanzhang took it and responded happily, she didn't know how difficult it was for the money to come by, after all, in her memory, several elders were very rich, and now in the Zhao clan, there should be no one poorer than her, right?
