Chapter 237: Wang Xifeng is eager to try
A few days later, the Ning Guofu was completely changed inside and out. Although Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are father and son, they are still living the same days as before. But people inside and outside the mansion all felt that Ning Guofu was different from before.
The status of You Shi and Qin Keqing in Ning Guofu is obviously different. The subordinates are all in awe from the heart. Now Jia Zhen's father and son ignore affairs and only care about Gao Le.
You Shi and Qin Keqing are in power inside and out. Who in the house dares to be disrespectful? Jia Zhen is so happy! Although Ning Guofu has not yet gotten rid of the crisis, at least he doesn't have to worry about the silver now.
Jia Zhen now feels that handing over the housekeeping power to You Shi and Qin Keqing is really a clever move. The second daughter has extraordinary abilities, how can Jia Zhen not know? But it is even more inseparable from Li Miao's help. Now that he can be tied to Li Miao, is what he wants to see the most.
Although the purpose has not been achieved, after all, the second daughter has at least cooperated with Li Miao. Although Jia Zhen is still uncertain, Li Miao is a scholar of Jintan Enlightenment. But Jia Jing has been looking for decades and has not found it, and Jia Zhen can only hope for Li Miao.
After all, time is running out in Ning Guofu. He can't afford to think about it. Even if Li Miao is not now, maybe Li Miao will become enlightened in the future? Isn't that it?
If Li Miao knew Jia Zhen's thoughts, he could only say that Jia Zhen's life was good. Jia Jing and other successive generations of family heads couldn't do anything with all their might, but they were blinded by him.
What Li Miao didn't know was that that day, Jia Zhen still had a lot of secrets in Ning Guofu, and he didn't tell Li Miao that there were still many secrets that Jia Jing confessed, and many of them would only be buried in his own heart. Who can't be a little secret?
Jia Zhen has a lot of secrets in Ningguo Mansion, and she may not even tell Jia Rong in the future.
On this day, You Shi and Qin Keqing found Jia Zhen again and reported on the recent rectification of Ning Guofu. Although Jia Zhen handed over the affairs of Ning Guofu to the second daughter. But Jia Zhen is still the head of the Ning Guofu family.
Jia Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia clan. Of course, You Shi and Qin Keqing understood who gave them rights. Jia Zhen can also be taken back at any time. Although Jia Zhen has repeatedly stated that he doesn't care about the affairs of Ning Guofu in the future.
You Shi and Qin Keqing would not believe this kind of joke. You can make your own decisions directly on trivial matters, and once there is a big event, you still need Jia Zhen to make the decision.
The purpose of You Shi and Qin Keqing's coming today was Li Miao's proposal to return the 200,000 taels of silver owed by the ministry. This is also what Li Miao mentioned when her second daughter came to the study for the first time.
"After you have sorted out the affairs of Ning Guofu, you can mention it to Brother Zhen and pay off the arrears of the household department." This was Li Miao's original words at that time.
Jia Zhen has not thought about this issue. Now in the treasury of Ningguo Mansion, there are more than 800,000 taels of silver. And judging from the current situation, Ningguofu's income and expenditure are good. There is a balance every year.
Now returning the 200,000 taels of silver to the household department is still very easy for Ning Guofu. The emperor has been suffering from the lack of silver in the household. If Ning Guofu takes the lead, he will be the first to return the silver owed by the household department. The emperor must be happy.
At least not, Ning Guofu, who is actively returning the money owed by the household department, will be attacked immediately. Ning Guofu can survive for a while. The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the more justified she felt.
As for Ning Guofu's doing, it will make other families resentful. That will be for later. The current Ning Guofu can only care about his own life and death. Life and death are big things, not to mention the big things about the survival of Ning Guofu.
Jia Zhen is also rarely happy, although she is happy all day long. It's all messing around. Now that Ning Guofu can finally breathe a sigh of relief, can he not be happy? "Just listen to my sister-in-law!"
On the same day, Ning Guofu paid off the 200,000 taels of silver owed by the ministry. The emperor was overjoyed when he learned about it. Youning Guofu has made a good start, and the collection of arrears of the household department can finally be carried out. The purpose of Ning Guofu, the emperor is also clear.
Jia Zhen and his son in Ningguo Mansion have been decadent for many years. Now the woman in the backyard is jumping up and down, just to catch her breath. The military forces of Ning Guofu have long been handed over, and they have long lost their threat to the emperor.
After Jia Jing passed away, the emperor didn't pay much attention to Ning Guofu. It's just a bed bug that can be pinched to death with just one hand, and now it's nothing, more important than clearing the debt owed by the collection department. Since Ning Guofu knows how to advance and retreat, why not let you breathe for a while?
At the court meeting the next day, the emperor praised Ning Guofu. How could the ministers not understand what the emperor meant. One by one, they gritted their teeth with hatred for Ning Guofu, and they really couldn't open any pot.
But think about it, is silver important, or life is important. What Ning Guofu did was just to survive. If you think about it, you may have done it a long time ago. I have to say that Ning Guofu played a good chess hand.
At the very least, Ning Guofu can survive for a while. Everything that happened in Ningguo had long been seen by Rongguo Mansion. Rong Guofu has been heartbroken for silver in recent years. Even the old things in the house have been treated as a lot.
Ning Guofu turned out to be inferior to Rongguo Mansion. But now You Shi and Qin Keqing have joined forces to rectify the inside and outside, and in a short period of time, the Ningguo Mansion has been cleared. There was plenty of money in the storeroom. The servants of the house went five or six out of ten.
Ning Guofu, which was still precarious a few days ago, suddenly turned over. Obviously, Rongguofu believes that Ning Guofu's actions are in line with the current situation of Rongguofu. The situation in the two prefectures is generally not much different.
If the Rongguo Mansion can also operate like the Ning Guofu, the financial situation of the government can also be fundamentally improved. Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper, first found Mrs. Shi and expressed her opinion.
Shi Lao Taijun has also noticed the changes in Ning Guofu for a long time, and there is an example of Ning Guofu in front of him, can he not approve? So, Jia Yu was found, and the three people in power in Rongguo Mansion sat together. Began to discuss the major matters of rectifying the Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Yu has long been disheartened and lives a life of eating and waiting for death. As long as the house is not short of his use. You can't be interested in the specific affairs of Rongguo Mansion at all, you can do whatever you want.
So, Mrs. Wang began to discuss with Mrs. Shi the details of the renovation of the Rongguo Mansion. I don't know if I don't discuss it, and I'm shocked when I discuss it. Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang are both housekeepers and know the difficulty of rectifying the Rongguo Mansion.
I can't help but look at You Shi and Qin Keqing with admiration. Although he knew that Ning Guofu's renovation had Li Miao's help. But the rest of the affairs are not something that ordinary people can do. Mrs. Wang also discovered her own shortcomings.
The renovation of Rongguo Mansion is a systematic project. It not only requires strong management skills, but also a ruthless style. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and although they didn't speak, they both saw the content from each other's eyes.
This job must be done by Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng can do it in the entire house. Of course, it is inseparable from Li Miao's assistance. In the eyes of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang, there should not be too much problem on Li Miao's side.
Li Miao is willing to help Ning Guofu even with help, let alone Rong Guofu? After all, Li Miao is the official son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion. It must be closer to Rongguo Mansion.
Now the key is Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng holds nine catties all day long. is no longer the Wang Xifeng who was greedy for power and pleasing in front of Shi Taijun all day long. Let's talk about the milk baby who is only more than two months old.
Now Wang Xifeng seems to have changed as a different person. For the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, he is not interested in it at all. There are only nine catties in my heart. Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang are also very big. In the end, it was decided to find Li Miao over first and listen to his opinion.
At this time, in Li Miao's study bedroom, Wang Xifeng was snuggled in Li Miao's arms. And from time to time to spoil coquettishly. Li Miao teased Wang Xifeng while looking at the nine catties that were asleep.
After the yin and yang were handed over, Wang Xifeng looked at Li Miao with a look of wanting to speak and stopping. Li Miao didn't know what Wang Xifeng wanted to say. Wang Xifeng was originally an idle lord, and Ning Guofu made such a big commotion, Wang Xifeng felt itchy when he saw it.
You Shi and Qin Keqing rectified Ningguo Mansion during this time, and Wang Xifeng saw it in his eyes. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Where can Wang Xifeng still sit still, he has a great intention of showing his skills. As if having found an opponent.
Wang Xifeng felt that his management ability was definitely no worse than that of the second daughter of the You family. As for courage, not to mention, the name of Feng Lazi is called for nothing. may be a lot worse in sleekness, but with the help of Ping'er, at least it is not inferior to them.
In addition, the rectification of Rongguo Mansion is beneficial to the entire Rongguo Mansion. As a genuine grandmother of Rongguo Mansion, why not do it? Wang Xifeng knew that soon the old lady would ask to go out of the mountain.
As for why it's not his own aunt, Mrs. Wang? That's absolutely impossible. Mrs. Wang threatened Wang Xifeng's housekeeper at the beginning, but she still said cruel words. Later, he was slapped in the face by Wang Xifeng.
Madame Wang will definitely not be bored anymore. But what if Li Miao doesn't agree?
