After only a few words, the reason has already been explained quite thoroughly.

In the final analysis, it is the economic base that determines the superstructure.

Although Rongguo Mansion is at the top of the superstructure, if you want to maintain this superstructure and be rich and prosperous for a long time, you must have a strong economic foundation.

Even if the feudal court wanted to maintain the long-term stability of the entire court, it would need to spend a lot of silver.

Without silver, even the emperor would not be able to do anything.

Now, the building is about to collapse, which is the clue to the economic problem.

Xiangling's words caused everyone to think deeply, and suddenly everyone became noisy.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but be surprised, how did Rongguo Mansion get to this point step by step?

"What's wrong?" Before Xue Baochai could ask a question, he heard Xiangling's inquiry.

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Xiangling, how did you say that Rongguo Mansion came to this point? I have never been able to think through it, how can such a top power in Rongguo Mansion and a relative of the emperor be so poor? Although the old lady also has some silver, I am afraid that that little bit of silver is a drop in the bucket, so I don't use it!"

only listened to Xue Baochai's words, and the faces of Qin Keqing, Jia Yingchun and the others next to him suddenly became concerned.

Oh, yes!

Rongguo Mansion is a relative of the emperor and a member of the country, and his power is monstrous, how can he fall to such a point now?

Xiangling sneered when she heard this, and said, "There are three main sources of income for Rongguo Mansion, one of which is the rent and filial piety of the grange, which is pumped according to a certain proportion every year, so as to maintain the dignity of the entire big family.

If you are frugal, you can maintain it, and even be rich, but the people in the entire Rongguo Mansion, such a big family, have a lot of expenses.

In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and farmland harvests have plummeted.

Don't say it's the field of Rongguo Mansion, that is, the field of our Yun Mansion last year, the harvest was thirty percent less than in previous years.

However, with a wave of his hand, the second master turned a blind eye to these people.

But that's not the case on the other side of Rongguofu.

This is one of the less incomes from the fields.

Second, there are a lot of contacts in this big family, and every time the eunuchs in the palace come out, what time does it not mean to honor at least a few hundred taels of silver? Those eunuchs are insatiable, and there is never a one who is satisfied.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the human relations in our Yun Mansion, if you don't spend 10,000 taels of silver a month, it will be considered less.

The bigger the stall, the bigger and more places to spend money, and the more places to go up and down.

Filial piety is all silver that goes out, and silver that does not come in.

Does Rongguo Mansion have an economic account and business territory, how can it last long?

This is the second, and the third, in terms of the court's salary, their income is too low to support such a large expenditure.

There is also the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth......

If you say it all, there will be more problems."

After that, Xiangling's words made everyone ponder again.

Although Su Ri never talked about this matter on the surface for the sake of their own face, but with the naked eye, they can see the gradual decline of Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the previous things, but a few things that have been born recently, which are enough to make people have a different kind of mind.

Xiangling looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "When I go to find out a little bit about Mandarin Duck tomorrow, I will probably know the old lady's private money, how much silver and approximate amount there is."

Listening to Xiangling's words, everyone was slightly surprised, but they didn't stop it, just nodded.

Aunt Xue looked at Xiangling and asked her, "Xiangling, has your master sent a letter recently?"

Xiangling thought for a moment before frowning and said, "It stands to reason that the husband should also send a letter, but this place is too far away from the Southern Province, if it is a letter

If something goes wrong along the way, that's normal."

Listening to Xiangling's words, Xue Baochai next to him also said, "Yes! I don't know what's going on with my husband, I've always been worried about it recently, but I don't dare to go to Sister Lin to talk about it, for fear that this matter will make Sister Lin worry and affect my mood."

Qin Keqing also said from the side: "Forget it, don't worry, the husband has great ability, and it is difficult for him to fall down on such small things."

Aunt Xue also nodded: "Then so be it! It's not early today, and you're tired today, so let's all rest after dinner!"

After listening to Aunt Xue's words, everyone dispersed.

........

Following.

Shenjing, in the Yun Mansion.

As soon as everyone got up in the morning, they heard the maid outside come out and say, "Aunt Xiang, my lord has a letter."

Listening to Qingwen's words, Xiangling was also slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly send me the letter."

With that, Qingwen gave the letter to Xiangling.

After reading the letter, Xiangling's brows stretched slightly, and she immediately became smiling, and she hurriedly patted her thigh and said, "Okay, okay!"

Qingwen waited beside her and asked with a smile, "Aunt Xiang, what's wrong?" What did the lord say in his letter that deserves such a please?"

After listening to Qingwen's inquiry, Xiangling replied with a smile: "But the master said in the letter that everything is safe and smooth, and in less than a month, you can return to the capital."

Qingwen was also very happy when she heard this.

Just because there is no master in this family, it is not good, if Jia Yun can return as soon as possible, it must be a very happy thing.

Now Jia Yun is the backbone of the family, so if Jia Yun can come back one day sooner, they will have more peace and ease in their hearts.

Then Xiangling took the letter and went to Lin Daiyu's house, intending to talk to Lin Daiyu about it.

Not long after, Xiangling met Lin Daiyu and mentioned this happy thing.

Lin Daiyu was also happy when she first heard the news, but then she frowned, looked at Xiangling and asked, "Why did you show Sister Xiangling's letter first?" net

Xiangling heard Lin Daiyu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "My good sister, my sister Lin, why are you still jealous in this matter? You and my sister, who am I, don't you know? I just thought, let's take a look at the content first, and if there is any problem, I'll just bear with it first, and I'll talk to you later, so as not to affect your mood, right?"

Listening to Xiangling's words, Lin Daiyu also smiled and said, "Sister Xiangling, I don't mean anything else, don't be careful. Otherwise, it's mine."
