If you want to use one sentence to describe Yang Yiqing's current mood, it can only be said that the plot was subverted too quickly, and he was planted before he was psychologically prepared. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

Looking at the bright "nine thousand taels" on the IOU in front of him, Yang Yiqing had a bitter feeling in his heart for the first time.

As everyone knows, the Ming Dynasty officials were notoriously low. Comparing the Ming Dynasty with the Song Dynasty, the annual salary of a cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty was even less than that of a small county prince in the Song Dynasty. Of course, someone familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty may say that the officials of the dynasty had a lot of informal income, such as the consumption of silver by fire.

The so-called fire consumption refers to the fact that when the magistrate collects money and taxes, he will collect more money and silver on the grounds of attrition. And all this excess money ended up in the pockets of the officials themselves. Of course, it is impossible for the magistrate to take the money himself, and he must also pay the money, which is the so-called apportionment. If the dots are not in place, then his official position will come to an end.

But to be clear, the levy of fire money refers to the actions of most officials. This does not mean that Yang Yiqing has done the same.

In the concept of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, officials should be gentlemen who abide by Confucian moral norms, even if they have a meager income, they will act impartially and regardless of personal interests. Most people naturally can't make such a request, but Yang Yiqing, who has impeached the corrupt general Wu'an Hou Zhenghong five times and took the initiative to reduce the fees of the lieutenant guards, this is exactly what he has always been the purpose of being an official.

If Yang Yiqing had silver, why couldn't his daughter even take out a thousand taels of the guqin when she liked the guqin and bidding with others?

Nine thousand taels. Yang Yiqing silently calculated his own fortune, plus the little silver taels that he had saved for being an official for so many years because he had been rewarded for his meritorious service to the enemy, he was afraid that he would have to save more than three years to pay off the nine thousand taels.

Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and signed his name on the IOU, then dipped his outstretched thumb on the ink, and pressed his thumb print on the IOU.

Seeing that Yang Yiqing really signed the IOU, Jiang Xia was quite impressed in his heart. He smiled and took the IOU and carefully dried the ink, then folded it and put it in his arms.

Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Lord Yang, you are still the first second-grade member of our place to sign an order, what an honor and honor." ”

Yang Yiqing couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he just said very sincerely: "Jiang Gongzi, although he is a second-grade official, his salary is not too high. I just calculated that it would take more than three years to pay off the arrears of 9,000 taels. ”

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned after listening to Yang Yiqing's words, and he looked at Yang Yiqing carefully. Jiang Xia was sure that Yang Yiqing was not joking, nor did he deliberately shirk it. is the so-called three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. I didn't expect a dignified second-class member to be worried about nine thousand taels.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly: "Lord Yang, forgive me for making a bold guess, you didn't just want to stand out for Ling Qianjin this time, did you?

Tong Guò Jiang Xia's observation of Yang Yiqing, he felt that Yang Yiqing was not an unreasonable person. If he was really unreasonable, he would not be able to force him into a desperate situation where he had to sign an IOU. How could a person who is not unreasonable make an unreasonable act? There is only one truth, that is, (how did he have the rush of Detective Ke Disaster Star?) He came here to find himself with such fanfare for other purposes, so Jiang Xia opened his mouth to ask.

When Jiang Xia asked Yang Yiqing like this, he was suddenly shocked, he almost forgot about it when Jiang Xia interrupted him, and he came to ask Jiang Xia how to solve the problem of insufficient money for building border defense. That's the most important thing, compared to the mere nine thousand taels, it's nothing at all.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqing immediately got up and saluted Jiang Xia and said, "Gongzi Jiang is indeed extremely smart, Yang Yiqing really has something important to ask Gongzi for advice." ”

"Just ask whatever you want, why do you make such a big battle out of this whole matter?" Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and spit out four words: "Ask for your own hardship." ”

Yang Yiqing's old face turned red, and he simply didn't answer Jiang Xia's words, but directly asked his own question: "Jiang Gongzi, I heard that you formed the Shanren Association and helped the current emperor solve the Henan disaster relief silver and the military salary of the northern border army, can I ask if there is such a thing?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

Yang Yiqing's spirits suddenly perked up, and he hurriedly asked with a happy face: "Then Jiang Gongzi, I have a question for you." In Xiaguan Renganshan Governor, under the jurisdiction of Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu three places. These three places were fortresses to prevent the Mongols from invading the Central Plains, so I intended to connect them together and build fortifications to prevent the Mongols from invading. If this move is successful, it will at least guarantee that the Mongols will not enter the land of Ganxi lightly in the future.

However, I calculated that it would take 800,000 taels of silver to build the city defense to my ideal shape, but unfortunately now the imperial court can only come up with 300,000 taels, and the remaining 500,000 taels."

Yang Yiqing looked up at Jiang Xia, what he wanted to ask was that there were 500,000 taels left, and he didn't know if Jiang Xia would have a way.

Jiang Xia immediately laughed when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Do you think I have gold and silver mountains, and if I had 500,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't give it to you to repair the city defense." ”

"Jiang Xia!" Yang Jingjing, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but burst, she said viciously: "My father asked you to look up to you, don't be ignorant." Anger me, be careful when I make you a eunuch. ”

Jiang Xia's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When did the woman of Daming become so fierce and speak so violently. Subconsciously, Jiang Xia clamped his legs, feeling cold underneath.

"Nonsense!" Yang Yiqing snorted, pointed to the door with his hand and said, "Get out!"

"Dad" Yang Jingjing screamed coquettishly, but Yang Yiqing was unmoved, still pointing to the door, his face was pale.

Yang Jingjing knew that Yang Yiqing was really angry, so she stood up and prepared to walk out. But at this time, Jiang Xia shouted: "Slow!"

Yang Yiqing and Yang Jingjing were both slightly stunned, and Jiang Xia looked Yang Jingjing up and down. That gaze was like a wolf examining its prey, Yang Jingjing's heart suddenly rose uneasy, she looked at Jiang Xia and said, "What do you see? ”

As soon as Yang Jingjing said this, Jiang Xia really didn't look at her again, but moved her gaze to Yang Yiqing and said, "I do have a way to help you with what Lord Yang just said, but I have one condition. ”

"Oh, what conditions?" Yang Yiqing said excitedly: "What conditions does Jiang Gongzi have, please say, this matter is beneficial for a thousand years, and it is a great merit." If Jiang Gongzi can help to promote it, no matter what the requirements are, as long as he can do it, he will do his best. ”

Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Don't worry, my request is simple. I'll tell you what you should do about this, and you'll have to let Ling Qianjin be my student for seven days. ”

"Student?" Yang Yiqing was slightly stunned.

Jiang Xia smiled and nodded: "I am a scholar, I have learned the four books and five classics of gentleman's etiquette, and the most unsightly thing in my life is that a beautiful woman becomes a shrew." As long as Lord Yang promises me, I will immediately tell you that you should do so. ”

Yang Yiqing was also stunned at this time, he looked at Yang Jingjing, and there was obviously a trace of intention in his struggling eyes.

Yang Jingjing suddenly panicked, she hugged Yang Yiqing's arm and said, "Dad, the ministry can promise him, this guy is not a good thing at first glance." If you give me to him, isn't that what the entrance is?"

"Send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Jiang Xia said lightly.

"Yes, send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Dad, you can't do that. ”

Yang Yiqing stared at Jiang Xia's face, Jiang Xia also looked at Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing saw that Jiang Xia's eyes were clear and did not seem to be strange. After thinking about it, he said: "Gongzi Jiang, my wife unfortunately died in childbirth when she gave birth to her little girl, and I am busy with official business on weekdays, so I neglect to discipline my little girl. If Jiang Gongzi is willing to teach the little girl for me, it will naturally be better, but Jiang Gongzi must know that I, Yang Yiqing, can only have such a daughter, if Jiang Gongzi dares to bully her, then I, Yang Yiqing, will have to take your life even if I fight for this old life. ”

"Don't worry about handing her over to me, and I'll give you a skillful and lovely girl in seven days. But I can say it before, if she doesn't listen to me, I'm afraid it will be indispensable to suffer a little bit of the precept. ”

"Daddy, don't. Yang Jingjing finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yang Yiqing suddenly softened and hesitated, Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Lord Yang, don't worry, the daughter of the second-grade master, I won't have any trespassing." ”

"Jiang Xia, if you want to say one more word, I will kill you immediately!" Yang Jingjing shouted loudly.

Hearing Yang Jingjing's roar, Yang Yiqing also felt that his daughter should be trained well. He thought that he could actually agree first, and then send secret agents to closely monitor Jiang Xia and Yang Jingjing, so that nothing would go wrong.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, that little girl will be bothered by Jiang Gongzi's training." ”

Jiang Xia waved his hand and said, "It's easy to say." ”

Jiang Xia looked at Yang Jingjing, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light and said, "I will definitely treat Miss Yang well." ”

Yang Yiqing arched his hand and said: "Then please ask Jiang Gongzi to sue him for building a border defense."

Jiang Xia said: "At this time, it couldn't be simpler, and it can be summed up in just four words. ”

"Four words?"

"Hmm. Open source and reduce expenditure. ”

"How to open source, so throttling?" Yang Yiqing couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Xia smiled and said to Yang Yiqing: "Lord Yang, you will tell me about the things that need to be consumed to build the city defense, and then tell you how to save money if you open up the source like this." ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "To build a city defense, it takes a lot of manpower, and then materials."
