Chapter 96
"Master Zhang, read the account book to Mrs. Jia and the old lady. We are acting according to the order, so don't be slandered for nothing." There are some things that Jia Lin doesn't need to say in person, because all the people here We all know that there is a gap between Jia Lin and the Jia family, and it is not good for Jia Lin to say too much or lightly.However, those who can work in the household department must be veterans in the officialdom. If Jia Lin doesn't talk about it, someone will rush to talk about it.No, a servant immediately ordered the chief under him to take out the account book and read it, and what he said was very rude.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he didn't feel angry at all. He quickly touched his head and said with a smile: "It should be so. Although the female relatives should avoid it, the lower official's mother is now the head of the lower official's house. The key ledger Put it all with Xiaguan’s mother, why don’t you ask Xiaguan’s mother to listen to it too.” What he meant was that he agreed with the people in the household department to read out the account one by one, and he specially read it for Jiamu.Which of the people present is not a human being?How many years have passed since the old Duke died, but Xijue's eldest son is still living outside, and the eldest son's daughter-in-law is not in charge of the house—someone can't help but think in their hearts that Jia's mother is greedy for power and ignorant.
Mother Jia finally understood what was going on.She deliberately scolded the eldest son who was not successful enough but failed. There were many nobles who borrowed money from the treasury back then.However, now that the people from the household department and the military department have already come to the door, is she going to drive them all out?Rongguo Mansion can no longer bear the torment.Mother Jia was trembling with anger, she naturally knew that it was a large sum of money, and she originally wanted to leave the things in the warehouse to Baoyu!
To make a digression here, although Jia Yuanchun climbed into the bed of the Supreme Emperor, he became a nobleman.But this award was not put on the table, that is to say, only a few people in the palace knew about it, if it wasn't for Shui Ying, it would be a joke, and Jia Lin might not know about it.Besides, even if it is put on the table, the Supreme Emperor will not live long. What can a person who is too noble do?That is to say, people in Jia's mansion don't know what good fortune Jia Yuanchun has, but even if they know, they don't want to get any benefits from Jia Yuanchun.
Mr. Zhang thought about it one by one, how much money was borrowed on a certain day of a certain month, and how much was the interest... In fact, the Jia family did not borrow much money. At first, it was just to see how many people borrowed money from the treasury. , they followed suit and borrowed some.In addition, there is no family-sustaining villa built yet, and Jia's mansion also has some background, so there is no need to borrow money at all.Calculated in this way, plus interest, the total amount of money owed by the Jia family is 37 three-two-six percent.Of course, this amount of money is not too small, and the perennial liquidity in Jia's public account is only 420 to 3 taels.
The people at the bottom calculated the money, Jia Lin shook her clothes and stood up - he is the biggest official here, so naturally he wouldn't stand and listen the whole time, some of the servants had already moved under the direction of Jia Amnesty. He laid out a chair and laid a soft cushion for him to sit down——Looked at Jia Mu with a smile, and said, "Old Madam, this value has been calculated, do you think it's time to open the warehouse and let everyone in the Ministry of War Brother moved something?"
Jia Mu only felt that she could not get up and down at one breath. She motioned to the big maid behind her to get the key, then took it out herself and put it on a plate before handing it to Jia Lin.Jia Lin didn't pick it up, and raised her hand, signaling the people behind to pick it up and go to open the warehouse.He sat back on the chair again, so calm!
The people in the military department are more or less ruffian, but now because of Qin Shu, they are also happy to give Jia Lin, a non-staff member of the military department, a little face.Jia Lin consciously showed her demeanor, and the people in the military department put away their anger, which was rare, and went to the warehouse to get the silver quickly. If the silver was not enough, they took objects of equivalent value.
After all the things were packed and placed in the yard, Jia Lin asked the people below to check the values for the last time, and after seeing that everything was correct, he stood up and cupped his hands at Jia Amnesty, saying, "I will bring all the brothers Returning orders to the emperor. General Jia is coordinating with the Ministry of Household Affairs this time, and I have fully remembered it in my heart. Even in front of the emperor, I should speak for General Jia."
"How can this make it so, the next official is just doing his duty as a courtier..." Jia Amnesty was happy in his heart, but pushed back with pretending humility on his face.
Jia Lin only smiled and shook his hand. In the eyes of others, it seemed that everything was kept silent.
After everyone left, Mother Jia looked at the half-empty warehouse, and thought that she would have to look at the face of a concubine at this age, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart. With a look of joy on her face, Mother Jia directly threw the cane in her hand towards Jia Amnesty.Although Jia's mother was getting old, she still had some strength in her hands. The cane hit Jia She's leg, and the pain made him scream out loud.
"Mother, my son is just obeying the emperor's order and repaying the money he owed. Why does mother blame her son?" Jia She, enduring the pain in his calf, knelt down on the ground and defended himself.
"Damn! You rebellious son, how can I not know your intentions?! You must have listened to that bastard's bewitchment and used this money to change your official position! They are all lying to you! They are all lying Yours! Now, our Rongguo Mansion is really in disaster!" Mother Jia stomped her feet and scolded, "Our family is not the only one who owes money to the treasury. The Guofu should be more powerful. You are in a hurry to be the leader, but you are rushing to become a thorn in their side? How will the Rongguo Mansion gain a foothold in Shixun in the future? Besides, if you really want to pay back the money as a face, you should also Discuss with me, let's pay back part of it first, and the rest will gradually show the sincerity of the Rongguo Mansion, but now, you are telling the emperor that we are not short of money! You idiot...Your brother's official position is still low. There is no restoration, but now you use your property to fill your own path..."
What Jiamu said makes sense.One is to shoot the bird, and the other is that even if you want to pay back the money, you should have a plan.However, no matter how reasonable Jia's mother said, Jia Amnesty, who had long been disappointed in her, would not listen at all.Not to mention, Jia Mu's last words really hit Jia Amnesty's lungs.Jia She simply stopped kneeling. Having just been praised by the emperor today, he thought he was very confident. He stood up and said mockingly: "Mother, don't say anything. Now that the men of the Rongguo Mansion are going out, they just do it in front of others." I can't hold my head up. It's not because of my first wife. It's clearly the second wife's fault, but it's the whole family's fault. If mother thinks that what I did today has delayed my good brother's future, why not do it now Go and call Jia Zhen, let's divide this family!" Jia Zhen is the head of the clan, so it is natural to call him when the family is divided.
Jia Mu has scolded Jia Amnesty all these years, and it's not a day or two that she has been biased. This is the first time Jia Amnesty has said about separating the family, and she almost bluffed Jia Mu.The maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly appeased Jia Mu, and then Jia Mu intermittently pointed at Jia She and cursed: "Nizi, you are really a naughty son, this is going to be rebellious! That bastard must have poured you a confused soup." Well, now that he is in a good position, he will turn around and disturb the peace of my house..." Hearing what Jia Mu said, she actually put all the responsibility on Jia Lin.
Jia She sneered: "Mother, don't blame Lin'er for everything. Today's incident happened to me. Although I have been ridiculous these years, I respect my mother, but my mother How did you treat me? To say something unfilial, I should be the head of the Rongguo Mansion! I will put it here now, even if the family is not separated, I want my brother to follow the Rongxi Mansion today. Moved out of the hall! Lian Er's mother was wronged, although my younger brother didn't know about it, but it was the one in front of him who did it, and now Lian Er is coming back, his wife is doing her best, and she has given birth to me. Grandson, heh, my darling grandson, the decent grandson of the eldest son, can’t live next to the barn with my useless grandpa!”
"Okay, okay, you don't want to separate the family, you want me to die!" Mother Jia couldn't catch her breath, so she passed out like this, and she didn't know if it was real or fake.However, this trick really worked, no matter how muddled Jia Amnesty was, he knew that the conversation should not continue at this time.He looked around at the serving maids, and said with a sneer: "Help the old lady in to rest, just ask the second master to come back and serve." After finishing speaking, he walked away without hesitation.
On the second day, Jia Amnesty handed over the paper again, this time it was an excuse paper.
In other words, Jia Amnesty made a good start for the Ministry of Households to collect the arrears. After him, Jia Lin took the ledger and the people from the Ministry of War directly, and surrounded them from house to house.Read the ledger first, and then ask the people from the Ministry of War to move the money.Are you crying poor?No use, unless you can keep Jalin and his gang of soldiers out.After leaving Jia's house, within a day, Jia Lin collected the debts owed by three more families.As for the rest, it doesn't matter, if you don't take the initiative to return them, they will be copied to your home one day.
Therefore, when Jia Amnesty handed over the paperwork the next day, almost everyone looked at him sympathetically, fearing that something would happen to him again!But, who knew that Jia Amnesty, who just showed his face in front of Emperor Jingde yesterday, is pleading guilty this time!What crime did you plead guilty to?Jia She said that he was confused, because of respect for his mother, since the mother preferred the younger brother, he let the younger brother live with his mother in the Rongxi Hall of the main courtyard of the mansion.However, he only knew that he should honor his mother, but he didn't realize that it was a matter of seniority and inferiority!The plaque hanging on Rongxi Hall was bestowed by the royal family. Jia Zheng, who is not a nobleman, lives inside, while he, who is a nobleman, lives outside. To put it seriously, there is still the meaning of contempt for the emperor's prestige!
Jia Amnesty burst into tears again, for an old man crying like this is really not beautiful.Emperor Jingde was so pained by his crying, he had no choice but to take advantage of people not paying attention and glared at Jia Lin who was standing in the front row: "Look at what bad idea you gave him!"
