Qin Yu saw that she was so persistent, so let's analyze and analyze him.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you about the Jia family!"

"Hmm!" Lin Daiyu hurriedly sat beside him obediently and listened carefully.

Qin Yu said, "Now Jiafu looks magnificent, but in fact, it is full of flowers and cooking oil. The inner bag has been hollowed, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the pile of firewood in Jiafu can be burned for a while, but it can't save the situation of the river. ”

"Has this come to this?" Lin Daiyu didn't really understand this matter, but she could sense what it meant that the monthly money and silver could not be sent.

"Hmm!" Qin Yu This is by no means alarmist, "Since the two princes, they have made great contributions." There are two aspects to the money left from the dragon. One is His Majesty's bounty, the spoils of war. The other part is the fiefdom, which is sent every year. ”

"I assessed the Northern Xinjiang and Western Regions, and laid down this huge territory, and the reward was only two million taels. Ning Rong's second duke has always been inferior to me, so let's calculate it according to two million taels. ”

"Open the mansion and build teeth, inside and outside the two major mansions, such a big mansion, such a big garden, this will be left behind."

"The fief of the second duke is in the Zhuangzi of Heijiliao, where the Zhuangzi is bitter and cold, and the annual income is only about 100,000 taels."

"Three generations, more than 100 years, the annual expenditure is less than 100,000 taels. This shows that it has always been a state of making ends meet. The little silver of the ancestors has long been spent. Therefore, one year is not as good as the next. ”

"The family doesn't know how to be thrifty, but they feed the family's rich slaves. Look at these minions in Jiafu, such as the chief manager Lai, who is like a little master. The house in the house was also replaced, and the son was also freed from slavery and donated a seven-grade county order. There are officials who donate to the country. For example, Jia Rong's five-grade dragon forbidden lieutenant is just a matter of a few thousand taels of silver. But the county order is the seven-grade magistrate with real power. ”

"One year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. The difficulty of donating officials will only be greater! They're better at camping than your two uncles. ”

"There are quite a few of these slaves, guess how they got up?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were already full of shock, "Are they greedy for the silver in the Mo Mansion?" ”

"Where there is an errand, there is money to be earned. Otherwise, do you think that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang's juniors are making money by chaining your second brother around you every day? Of course, it is human nature to go out on errands and naturally have a limit for expenses. As long as it's within reason, it doesn't hurt. After all, you can't just let the horses run and not give them grass! ”

"Hee-hee!" Lin Daiyu was also amused by his remarks, "Even so, the house shouldn't be so empty!" ”

"It's just a small aspect!" Qin Yu said, "The fundamental thing is that I can't make ends meet, and my ancestors' silver is almost gone." The income of the fief is not enough to be collected every year. However, now there are many people who are greedy for pleasure and few who are plotters. The whole family relies on you to run the second brother around. If he makes money, it's fine, but if he goes out to do business, how can he make a sure profit without losing money? Once you lose it, you have to put the capital into it. ”

"I don't have much income, and it's okay to support the constant expenses up and down the house. The eldest sister in the palace needs money for every step, otherwise she won't be able to get out of the two letters, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are even more terrible than these slaves in the palace. ”

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but be shocked, she naturally knew that she had to deal with these wealthy slaves, and she had little silver in her hands. This is also rumored to be a stingy character, not as dignified and generous as Baochai. If there is a rumor in the palace, she is afraid that she will never be favored.

"That's still small, and there are people like Dai Quan, can they get less silver? Every year, there must be filial piety, and he will say good things in front of His Majesty. Qin Yu continued: "Isn't this another big hole? ”

"Master, don't dare to leave a little wife and a little wife in business, isn't that all silver?"

"A group of Qingke raised by the second master, listen to their pursuit if they have nothing to do, but in fact they are all waste, not good at learning to be an official, in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, or a foreigner, that little money, I'm afraid it is not enough for his daily expenses. They don't think about how much money they still have at home, and they only take it from the account room, and the account office can not give it? ”

The more Lin Daiyu listened, the more angry she became, but they were all elders, so they couldn't be scolded.

"It's nothing, the left and right businesses are their own!" Qin Yu said with a smile, "The housekeeper is Mrs. Wang, and the Wang family's property is not much." There aren't many ways either. And Wang Ziteng has been promoted year after year, do you think it is his own merit? ”

"This ......," Lin Daiyu felt that her head was a little insufficient, "What does this have to do with the house?" Could it be that he spent the money in the house? ”

"Almost!" Qin Yu explained, "Connections are incense and favors, and in the past, there was a national prince, and he could make meritorious deeds again, and he maintained the relationship with grace." After the old man leaves, ask someone to do something, the relationship is still there, but if you don't give that little gift, even if people agree, they may not be able to do it for you. Even if it does, it will never help you a second time. This is the incense favor. ”

"Prince Teng's promotion is so fast, he has almost exhausted the Jia family's incense. It's not a small amount of money. ”

"And you don't know, for example, Jia Mansion secretly supports the Six Princes......"

"What!" Lin Daiyu was secretly surprised: "They have already begun to participate in the matter of seizing the heir?" ”

"It's already started, they're afraid they won't be able to wait for Yuanchun to have a child!" Qin Yu said lightly: "The prince is a party, do you value these mediocre talents of the Jia family?" Of course not, what is valued is the Jia family's money. I have to support it every month, so that the prince has the funds to win over the ministers, as for the affairs of the court, it is not clear in one sentence or two. I won't go any further. Now do you understand? Where is your little money enough to cover their expenses? ”

"Oh my God!" Lin Daiyu understood, and thoroughly understood, "So many big holes are sucking the blood in the house, even tens of millions of family property, and they will be lost early." It's just that right now, the uncle of the Wang family has been promoted, and the eldest sister has also been made a concubine, so the situation should be better? ”

"It's a lot better. After all, the two main expenses have been spent! Qin Yu said lightly: "But the Jia family has also been tossed almost over." If there is still progress that can survive, it will be overcome. But the problem is that it can't survive anymore. The last bones of the Jia family were crushed by the Grand View Garden! ”

"Grand View Garden!" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but be stunned, the courtyard they lived in at the moment was so luxurious, how could she not know? I don't know how much it costs to maintain flowers and plants every day. The whole garden has been burning silver every moment from the construction to the current cost.

"That's right, if it weren't for an accident at your family and you brought back some silver, they wouldn't even be able to build the Grand View Garden. Luckily, that's where you live. I didn't care about these things. So you don't have to worry about it so much. ”
