Rebirth of the Red Mansions: Jia Lian's way of turning over

Dare to bring up the matter of the Ministry of Accounts owed money at this time, a very loud slap was slapped on the face of the emperor, the matter of the Ministry of Accounts having no money, a large part of the reason should be attributed to the emperor.

Among the powerful and powerful royal family members and nobles who have countless money, none of them have ever owed money to the household department. On the contrary, those families who really need money can't borrow money no matter what.

This is still second, the emperor's benevolence has indeed increased because of this incident, but it is only circulated among the upper class, but there is no money in the treasury of the entire dynasty, and there will be endless troubles.

The first ones to be oppressed are the bottom-level peasants, who have been extorted by various exorbitant taxes. Life is not much better than that of the previous dynasty, and there are no natural disasters, and they can just make do with it.

The second thing is that the new emperor can't bear it. The food and grass on the front line are tight, the weapons and equipment are obviously insufficient, and the horses are being domesticated less.

But the emperor is getting old, how can he see so long-term, the king of Nan'an is accumulating money on the border, even the capital has heard about it, but he didn't go into it, he always wanted to get through this time safely, and wait for the next emperor to come to rule.

However, his body is so good that he can live for ten years without any problem. Who can tell what the dynasty will look like after ten years.

Just like what happened this time, there was only a small blizzard in Beijing, and there was no money to settle properly. The new emperor could conceivably want to take someone to the knife.

The concubines in the harem have been stable for a long time, but except for the queen, none of them have been canonized. Until today, the attitude of the new emperor has become quite obvious.

The Jia family hadn't received any news from above, but Jia Zhen got a letter from Jia Lian.

Jia Zhen, who once took refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince, has recently been hiding tightly, not going out easily, and not allowing people in her house to go out to make troubles. Now their family has no backing, and even faintly offended Prince Teng.

That is to say, Wang Ziteng didn't know about it. If he knew that the prince made up his mind to deal with him at the beginning, it was all because of Jia Zhen's voluntary report, and the follow-up would be a mess.

Jia Zhen really didn't dare to accept this letter. Jia Lian knew what he was doing at the beginning, and even arranged that matter. Jia Zhen was afraid that he would blackmail him.

Although Ningguo Mansion has nothing to gain, Jia Zhen is still worried.

When I opened it, Jia Zhen's heart was really hurting. Jia Lian actually wanted to cooperate with Ningguo Mansion to pay back the money owed to the Ministry of Households, and she was going to be the first bird. That was risking her life!

However, Jia Zhen was very curious. He, who was in Beijing, didn't know about such things. How could Jia Lian, who was far away in the northwest, get the news so quickly. Moreover, such a letter was not intercepted, and it was delivered without delay. Ningguo Mansion.

If it hadn't been for Jia Lian's private seal on this letter, Jia Zhen would have thought it was someone planning to frame him in Ningguo Mansion.

A rough calculation shows that the Ningguo Mansion owes 50 taels of silver, and the Rongguo Mansion owes 80 taels of silver. This time, it is not necessary to repay at least half of it. People are dumbfounded.

In particular, what Jia Lian said hit his heart, after this vote, the original mistakes can be written off, the new emperor wants to be the first bird alone, and if the first bird does a good job, he can sleep peacefully in the future.

Thinking about it, the Household Department used to be under the control of the Xinhuang, but now someone in the Household Department raised the matter of owed money. It wasn't the Xinhuang's idea, could it be the idea of ​​a certain minister?At this critical moment, the treasury is short of money, and the new emperor wants a large sum of money to appease all places.

If it wasn't for the Ningrong Second House to come out first, there would be other Xinhuang factions coming to the stage, but their Ningrong Second House had nothing to lose, and they had nothing to do except lose some money after finishing this vote, but the New Emperor had a hard time The diehards cultivated will suffer quite a blow.

Therefore, they did this vote entirely to make the new emperor feel comfortable. As long as he can see that the Ningrong Second House has worked hard this time, their Ningrong Second House should not be listed as the key target of overthrowing.

The saying that one dynasty is one emperor and one courtier is never groundless. With this favorable wind, maybe the Ningrong Second Mansion can be stable for a long time.

After thinking about it, Jia Zhen began to organize the family wealth of the house.

The servant who came to help Jia Lian deliver the letter made an appointment with him to enter the palace three days later, and left in a hurry.

Without the knowledge of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhen took three carriages and ten boxes to the palace three days later, and when she was on the main road outside the palace, she could see the servant who had come to deliver the letter that day.

The other party brought one more carriage than him, and Kong Wu and about twenty strong men stood on both sides, looking much more dignified than Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen rubbed her chin, thinking that Jia Lian's departure from Beijing might have changed a lot. Could he have done such a thing without hiding it from the Rongguo Mansion?Can he have so many capable people in his hands?Not to mention so much money.

"Master Zhen, here are the supplies prepared by our second master, please take a look first." The young man respectfully handed over a list, the first item on it listed 40 taels of silver, followed by food and grass , cloth, leather, cotton wool, etc., fully made up the total price of 80 taels.

Especially the latter ones were urgently needed. Jia Zhen didn't even know how happy the new emperor would be after sending them up.Sure enough, becoming an official is different.

The young man saw Jia Zhen's thoughts, smiled slightly and handed over another list, "This is prepared by our second master for Mrs. Zhen. The second master said that the two residences of Ningrong and Rong are all from Jia's family, so naturally they have to watch over and help each other. However, Master Zhen needs to write an IOU, and it will be fine to return it later."

The items on this gift list were not ordinary items. There were [-] sets of soldier uniforms and [-] pieces of animal skins, and the price was enough for half of the money owed by the Ningguo Mansion.

"Good guy, you've got a lot going on." Jia Zhen neatly pressed her handprint on the IOU, and then happily led everyone to the palace. This visit will definitely make the new emperor extremely happy.

The guards guarding the palace gate had been staring at them early in the morning, and when they saw Jia Zhen leading the team, they even smiled, "Master Zhen, wait a little longer, and let me go to report, Little ones, keep an eye on those convoys of Mr. Jane."

Jia Zhen raised her brows, "How do you know that my car team is valuable?"

All the guards on the side laughed, "This car is so heavy, if it is not a valuable thing, can it be so heavy?"

Jia Zhen doesn't think so, you guards always look above the top, and Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion has to be careful with him, how can he get the treatment he is getting today, if it wasn't for someone from above, he would have prepared several times Here comes a red envelope.

Not long after, Gao Sheng, the manager next to the new emperor, came out with a smile, "General Jia Zhenjia, follow the old slave in, the Holy Majesty is waiting for you."

"This carriage..."

"Of course this car will also be sent to the palace. Will it attract people's attention by staying here? You guys push the things into the House of Internal Affairs for me, and let the eunuchs of the House of Internal Affairs take a good inventory. If there is even a slight mistake, the Holy Majesty will definitely blame it. "

"Yes!"

Manager Gao was accompanied by twenty or so guards. After those guards took over the carriages, they all pulled closer to the palace in a short while.

Jia Zhen followed Manager Gao and walked all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The new emperor, who had returned from the court, was correcting the memorials inside. Jia Zhen walked in and saw his cold and majestic face. Make a sound.

There were seven or eight people standing in the whole hall, but it was hard to hear the sound of breathing. Except for the occasional noise made by the Holy Majesty, if you didn't look around, you might feel that there was no one else here at all.

This is Jia Zhen's first time entering the palace, so she is unavoidably reserved and uneasy, and no one makes people kneel down. When he stood in front of the new emperor, he knelt there consciously, neither made a sound nor felt uncomfortable. Willingly.

There was a flash of astonishment in Gao Sheng's eyes, and then he walked to the new emperor and said softly, "My lord, General Jia is kneeling."

The new emperor frowned slightly, and looked up to see Jia Zhen who was kneeling shyly. He was speechless for a moment. Based on Jia Lian's previous words, this Jia Zhen should have met the crown prince. appearance.

"General Jia, please rise up. Ning Rong and the Second House are loyal, but I know it. Gao Sheng, give the general a chair."

Jia Zhen stood up in trepidation, even if she was sitting on a chair, she was just touching the edge.

The new emperor hooked his lips helplessly, isn't he some kind of evil spirit, much scarier than the crown prince?

"My lord, this is the gift slip from General Jia for repaying the debt."

The new emperor took it over and saw that the number of materials on the left and right sheets was correct. It was rare that Jia Lian could get them all together so quickly, and the price was reported at a low price. I'm afraid it has risen by now.

"Very good, let the Ministry of Households return the IOUs of the Ningrong Second Mansion. This time, the two mansions have generously donated money to share the country's worries. What do you want?"

Jia Lian's share of the new emperor will be given to him sooner or later, but the new emperor wants to see the character of the Ningguo Mansion. Since Jia Lian wants to push him out, if it's okay, he doesn't mind training him together.

Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on her face, "This is what I should do. I don't dare to ask for anything. All I need is a compliment from Your Majesty."

If someone else said this, the Holy Majesty would probably feel that he was asking for more, but Jia Zhen's stupid performance made the Holy Majesty smile slightly, "Okay, then I will give you a compliment. Gao Sheng, reward him with Yu Ruyi .”

No matter how valuable this jade is, it is not as good as what Jia Zhen sent, but Jia Zhen feels that the grace of the Holy Majesty is more important than anything. .

Besides, with Jia Lian here, will their Jia family's life be sad?

This time it seemed that Jia Jiagan was the leader, but in fact, Jia Lian just obeyed the orders of the sage, otherwise Jia Lian could gather so many things in a few days, not to mention that he was still far away.

After finishing the errands, Jia Zhen returned home happily with Yu Ruyi in her hand. Without the 30 taels, his Ningguo Mansion was not too poor, but the fear of the previous period was no longer there.

Seeing him smiling and straightening his waist, Youshi hurried up to please him, "What happened to the master today?"

Jia Zhen was happy, so she had the energy to chat with her, "Your lord, I have paid back the money owed by the family. The Holy Majesty praised the loyalty of our Ningrong Second House. When Rong'er grows older, maybe Can be sent to the palace to be a guard."

"What does the master's repayment of money have to do with the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Zhen laughed more and more, "It's a big relationship, the Rongguo Mansion really has a talent, Jia Lian paid back the 80-year debt owed to his house by himself, and I paid back 30 to the master by the way." Wan Liang, don’t you think he only went out for a short time? Why so much money.”

"80 taels!! Being a sixth-rank official can earn so much!!!" Youshi covered his mouth in disbelief.

"That's not true, but he is located in the northwest, so there shouldn't be so many of them," Jia Zhen frowned slightly, "He can't be collaborating with the enemy, right? No, we can all see the problem, how could the Holy Majesty not see it?" , I clearly feel that the Holy Majesty is satisfied today."

Youshi rolled his eyes, "I heard people say that the second master Lian is quite capable of earning money. When he was in the capital, he pulled the King of Beijing, Dai Quan Dai, and those dudes together to set up a lot of restaurants. Teahouses, gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache are all bought, and in just two years, Wang Xifeng can wear thousands of taels of hair."

"It is said that there are a lot of leather in the northwest and they are all high-quality things. If he can trade the goods between the north and the south, I'm afraid he can make a lot of money." Youshi frowned again, "But my father once said that there There are villains in the poor mountains and rivers, and many caravans are afraid to go there, and the possibility of death is extremely high."

Jia Zhen nodded, "You're right. It's really messy there. Didn't Wang Ziteng go there too? The money is not less, but the earning is much less, and the people who lack food and clothing are less educated and want to do something. It's hard to do something, but since Jia Lian has so much money, we can help!"

"Oh, by the way, I just saw Jia Lian's servants. There are about twenty strong men. They all look very imposing. They are probably soldiers in the army. With this group of people guarding them, Jia Lian's business should be a lot easier. Let's Ningguo There are quite a few uncles in the house, and it would only be good for Jia Lian to work together."

Youshi's eyes lit up, "That's right, our Ningrong Second Mansion is in a favorable time, place and people, with so many uncles helping out, hello, hello, hello everyone, will Second Lord Lian refuse?"

"If he wants to refuse, it depends on whether I am willing or not! Will we not rely on it? By the way, this good news must be passed on to the Rongguo Mansion, so that Master She can also enjoy it."

Youshi nodded, and was about to go to the Rongguo Mansion for a sit down.

In the past, the old lady often suffered a lot of anger, and her waist was probably not strong enough to face her elders, but now everything has become very different, the old lady's power has been stripped by Jia Lian in sevens and eighties.

There is also that Baoyu, who is indeed a character who has drawn lots and caught rouge and gouache. He is really amazing in lust. How old is he, and he has to be accompanied by beauties every day. rude.

Thinking of this, You Shi went back to her room to put on her make-up, making sure to let people know that she, You Shi, is not the kind of person who can be bullied at will.

Just when Jia Xing was about to write a letter to Jia Lian, he realized that he had not made an appointment with Jia Lian's people at all, and now he wanted to send the letter directly to the northwest.

With such trouble, I'm afraid it will take two or three months before I can contact Jia Lian, which is very sad.

And after Youshi dressed himself up very delicately, he headed towards Rongguo Mansion. The two mansions are very close to each other, and they don't have much contact with each other usually, and the servants may still walk around often.

In the past few days, there has been news from Ningguo Mansion that Mr. Zhen is returning the entire family property, and he didn't know what to do with it.

As soon as the old lady and Wang heard this, they knew that Jia Zhen was planning to die. So many people didn't pay back the money, and they were not willing to pay back the money at all. How dare they Ningguo Mansion?

Fortunately, the Rongguo Mansion did not move, so there was no need to pay too much attention to the matter.
