Chapter 165: Silver Owed
On the carriage back, Daiyu saw that she had been frowning and not speaking, and asked with some concern: "Sister, what's wrong, why have you been worried?"
But what does the emperor want you to do? ”
Jiusi didn't hide it from her, thought about it, and told her: "It's nothing, it's just that I heard the news of Dianyuanchun's concubine before, and I deliberately asked people to prepare more things to sell, the benefits are a little too high, and it's my own business, so I can't keep the money." ”
After all, she still has to return the money owed to the treasury after that, and now that she has explained it clearly, it will be easier to do things later.
Daiyu is not the same little white as before, when she heard that it was an interest that could make the emperor speak, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "The interest is too high?" How tall? ”
Jiusi didn't tell her the specific amount, but simply said: "I earned 200,000 taels in two days." ”
Daiyu knew that it would cost a lot to build a garden, but she didn't expect it to be so high, and her face was full of disbelief: "Does it cost so much silver to build a provincial garden?" ”
Jiusi knew that she had misunderstood, so he explained to her one by one: "One family can't spend so much, so isn't there another family, and the Jia family is not the only one who is a concubine."
Besides, they built a garden to build a face, and the two sides were compared again, naturally what is expensive and what is used, and what is rare and used.
If there are fewer things, and even bidding for them, the price will be much higher than the original price.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, things are really not expensive, but the cost of transportation, the effort of craftsmen, and the profit in the middle are relatively high. ”
It was the first time for Daiyu to hear about such a thing, and she asked a lot of questions in surprise before asking another thing: "Since there are so many twists and turns here, why didn't my sister use her own shop to sell it in advance?" ”
Jiusi knew that she would ask about this, and she had already thought about what to say in her heart, so she opened her mouth and came: "When I got the news, it was still early before Yuanchun Feng Concubine, and when the news was not true, I didn't dare to take that risk."
Besides, although those things are not as expensive as they bought, the price is not low, and if you sell them in your own shop, once the news is fake, the loss will be great.
At that time, if my father investigates, I will not be able to explain whether it is wrong, so I will have to use my own private money.
Who knows that the news is true, but the benefits are so terrifying, so much silver, it is not something that the Lin family and I can grasp, so we have to return the silver owed by the treasury, and take the initiative to hand over the silver, otherwise it will be a big trouble. ”
After hearing this, Daiyu thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said was reasonable, so she didn't say anything more, and even helped Jiusi come up with a lot of ideas in order to make her plan go smoothly.
Anyway, this matter is a matter of offending people after all, after Jiusi went back, he still asked people to send a letter to Lin Ruhai quickly and asked his opinion.
It wasn't until she received a letter of support from him that she started her own project.
This matter can't be done by her family, if you want to make this matter big enough to conform to the emperor's wishes, someone has to go along with it.
So, before she owed the silver, she specially contacted a few families who were particularly good friends with the Lin family, and then informed them of the matter, and let them choose whether to make this rich road or not.
The results were mixed, half of the more courageous people chose to give their children and grandchildren a better chance in the future, and half did not want to take that risk to break the current stable state, so they chose neither to participate nor to disclose the matter.
After Jiusi learned about it, she only asked people to give the agreed ones time to return the arrears, and as for those who did not participate, she was not worried that the other party would spread the news.
Since she dared to inform them about this, she was so sure that they would not be able to speak.
From the moment they learned the news, they were monitored, not to mention spreading the news, and the slightest inappropriate behavior would be immediately locked up until the matter was over.
Jiusi's movements were fast, and as soon as the plan was arranged, she asked people to prepare the money that needed to be returned according to the amount of money owed on the silver slips.
Then, he picked a sunny day, and asked people to take the boxes of silver and send them to the household in such a big way.
In order to attract the attention of others, she also instructed Steward Lin to choose the kind of box without a lid when loading the silver, even if there is a lid, it will be removed.
In order to expose the shining silver to the sun, to appear in the eyes of those people and those who have a heart, to attract their full attention.
That's it, she still felt that the formation was not big enough, and she deliberately picked a lot of nursing homes to escort those silver coins.
One by one, the already tall nursing homes, and then put on the special uniform costume, it is simply quite eye-catching when walking on the street!
Along the way, there was no one who didn't talk about it, and when they found out that they were going to the household department, those people talked more vigorously.
The onlookers talked loudly: "With so much silver and such a big formation, I don't know which one it is?" ”
After hearing this, a person in the know hurriedly said: "I know, I know, this is the Lin family who is related to Rongguo Mansion."
I heard that the girl in their family, in order to fulfill her filial piety for her parents, also lived in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, until now it is too old to live there, so she moved back to Lin Mansion. ”
When another insider heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Moreover, I don't think they moved out because they were too old, but the second master of Rongguo Mansion was not making a good scene, and people were afraid that their girls would have a bad reputation, so they moved out!" ”
As soon as everyone heard that Bao Erye, they immediately became interested and chatted one after another, and after a while, the topic was crooked.
Seeing this, the people who were arranged in the crowd hurriedly tried to bring the topic back, otherwise if they really let these people talk like that, it is estimated that today's excitement will be in vain.
Fortunately, the silver was attractive enough, and those who said a few words brought the topic back again, and everyone once again focused on the matter of the silver owed.
The people on the other side of the household department had already been notified, and they were waiting at the door early in the morning, and some curious people came forward to ask, and they didn't hide it, they all told them one by one, for fear that others would not know that the Lin family was here to repay the money.
Not only did they talk about it, but even Steward Lin and the guards of the Lin family also said it, as for the protagonist Jiusi, because it was inconvenient to show up, he could only wait for news at home.
Fortunately, she has mental strength, even if she is at home, she will not delay her to watch the excitement.
Jiusi moved here, and the few families who got the news over there also moved, although they were not as big as hers, but because the things that were paid for in kind were too good, they also made a fuss.
If it's just a family, and there are many people who pay back the money, then the discussion can't stop anymore, and it didn't take long for this matter to spread in the capital, and gradually began to spread outward.
