I felt the temperature drop sharply.

Jia Cong's face was full of doubts, "What do you mean?" Have all of us borrowed money from the public? ”

"That's still when Daqian first founded the country, and it's normal that you don't know."

Jia Yu coughed twice and continued: "Back then, I waited for each family to follow Emperor Taizu to conquer the country and be able to be knighted and given the mansion, and the specifications in this family were raised all of a sudden, and the amount of food and clothing rose sharply, and the silver was inevitably a little uneasy......

Just borrowing money because you don't have enough money to spend?

Jia Cong heard that his back molars ached faintly.

"So everyone is in the same situation!"

Xie Kun said with a smile: "When the poor get rich, it is inevitable to spend money. Besides, borrowing money is also a matter that Emperor Taizu personally agreed, although we are not short of money, but the colleagues around us are going to borrow money, wouldn't it seem too unsociable if we don't go? ”

"That's exactly what happened!"

"It's all the same ......"

“……”

Looking at the look of recognition on the faces of Jia Yu and the others, Jia Cong's brain hurt.

couldn't help asking: "But that silver is always a borrowed thing, as I said just now, what if Liu Ce thinks of this stubble and is ready to recover the arrears?" ”

“……”

The smiles on everyone's faces froze suddenly.

There was silence in the hall.

Half an hour later.

"That's where people get stuck."

I only heard Marchand smile bitterly and said: "At the beginning, our family only stored the borrowed 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury for later use, but in recent years, the grange has been really sluggish, so we have no choice but to open the package and spend it."

If Liu Ce is collecting debts, I really don't know what to do! ”

Hearing Ma Shangde's words, Jia Yu and Jia Zhen looked at each other, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What, your ruling mansion only borrowed 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

"It's only 100,000 taels ......???"

Jia Cong only felt that his scalp suddenly exploded, and he hurriedly asked, "Father, Brother Zhen, how much have we borrowed from the two mansions?" ”

"Well, our family borrowed 300,000 taels ......," Jia Yu said.

"Three hundred thousand taels? Then the two sides of the house are 150,000 taels each? ”

Jia Cong frowned, "It's not a small number either. ”

"It's not that each government borrowed 150,000 taels," Jia Yu added, "It's our Rongguo Mansion alone that borrowed 300,000 taels, and Brother Zhen'er's Mansion also borrowed 300,000 taels!" ”

Jia Cong, "......"

Someone else couldn't sit still.

"Your family is only 300,000 taels, and our old lady borrowed 500,000 yuan with a big stroke of the pen!"

Chen Ruiwen cried with a sad face, "After the abolition of the prince, the military power of each family was deprived, and since the time when my Qi Guofu was beaten, I have almost been eating the old book."

A few years ago, I saw the opportunity, and finally pushed my nephew up, just up and down for him, it cost a small 100,000 taels, who knew that he died in Liaodong last year, not to mention, even the official position was topped ......"

Come on, the most unlucky one came out.

"At the moment, I can only hope that Liu Ce will not think of this stubble."

Jia Cong also sighed, "If we really want to go to the worst step, we can only sort out our own family property and try to pay back some of it first." ”

"How easy is this to say?"

Qiu Liang's face was full of bitterness, "How many of our families can do business?" Your Jia family first came out with a Jia Lian who opened a restaurant, and then you rose to the top, and everyone didn't know how much envy they had.

In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently and harvests have been in short supply in various places, and those of us who rely on Zhuangzi to feed our families have long been unable to make ends meet. ”

With that, he sighed heavily.

"If you can't sell some properties and objects, you have to do it anyway."

Jia Cong said: "The saint has made the will of the imperial expedition, and the Northern Expedition has become a foregone conclusion after the year, and the consumption of a large army is so amazing, it must not be said."

Looking at the appearance of the household department, I am afraid that there is no money for the Northern Expedition again, so it is very likely that Liu Ce is already playing the idea of arrears back then. ”

Let the people digest it for a while.

Jia Cong reminded again: "Therefore, these arrears have been linked to the Holy Northern Expedition, you say that if it is delayed because of us, what will be the consequences?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone was suddenly trembling.

Because when he put down the rebellion of the abolished prince Liu Yu that year, he accidentally caused Liu Yu to be shot by a stray arrow, so even if the founding line played a great role in quelling the rebellion, it did not end up well in the end.

In the follow-up, it was targeted by the Emperor Taishang, and a lot of military power of each family was lost.

Now, if you want to cut yourself off from Emperor Liu Zhang of Chengde again, the founding of the country can directly declare the game over.

"Raise money, you have to raise money!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were extremely determined......

…………

Sure enough.

Only two days after Emperor Chengde rang the Jingyang bell to summon the ministers, an official document was delivered to the door of Rongguo Mansion.

After Jia Cong learned about it, he went to see it, and sure enough, it was a notice to collect the arrears of the year.

It's just a cup of tea.

A little girl in Rongqing Hall was ordered to invite, saying that Jia Mu sent everyone to Rongqing Hall.

Hear the words.

Jia Cong hurriedly changed out of his practice clothes and took Qingwen to Rongqing Hall.

……

Only then did he enter the Rongqing Hall.

Jia Cong sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

I saw Jia Yu sitting next to Jia's mother, with a gloomy face and not saying a word; Jia Zheng next to him was frightened, and he bowed his head and said nothing like Mrs. Wang.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng sat calmly at the bottom of everyone, staring at the tea cup in their hands with a pair of eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing this, Jia Cong's heart suddenly became clear.

It's still a matter of silver!

Jia Yu said: "After the year, the Holy Lord wants to personally conquer Mobei, but the military salary and silver in the treasury are insufficient, and Liu Ce, the secretary of the household department, remembered the sum of money lent out by Emperor Taizu when he was there.

The 300,000 taels of silver that our family borrowed from the public school back then should also be returned. Otherwise, it will delay the Holy Emperor's personal expedition, and that is not a joke! ”

"But right now, we don't have so much money in the treasury!"

Sister Feng's face was full of embarrassment, "After deducting the necessary consumption, the cash that our family can take out is at most 200,000 taels and nods, and there is nothing else!" ”

The expressions of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang next to him froze.

"The number is not right!"

Jia Mu also frowned, "When the treasury was handed over from me, not to mention the 300,000 taels of silver borrowed from the public office, our family's own reserve silver alone has more than 400,000 yuan, only a few years?" That's all that's left? ”

said.

Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang: "Over the years, our family has not spent a lot of money anywhere, the second family, tell me, where has all the money in the treasury gone?" ”

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang knelt down together, "Please also ask my mother to calm her anger!" ”

Looking at Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia's mother opened her eyes and said angrily: "Don't mention it for the time being, you two tell me first, where did the hundreds of thousands of silver go?" ”

Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang next to her.

Gritted his teeth and said: "Most of this silver has been spent by me!" ”
