When Jia Jue heard the news that Wang Xifeng had given birth to a son, it was already the next morning.Yidong told him beamingly.

"Then congratulations to Lian's second elder brother." Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had only one son after being married for many years, so they were extremely happy.

"Not only the second master Lian, but also the old lady and the old man are very happy. My brother is healthy and weighs seven catties after birth."

Jia Jue was also happy, new life is hope, and Jia Lian having a son represents the orderly inheritance of the Jia family.

"Go and send the longevity lock I prepared earlier."

"Yes."

"Miss Lin is back?"

"When I came back, the girl also brought a lot of things to the master. She said it was a special product from Yangzhou, and there was a small box, which she said was a thank you gift from Mrs. Lin."

"Go get it."

"Yes."

Jia Jue looked at the small box and opened it. There was only an envelope and a book inside?

Jia Jue opened the letter first. Nothing important was written in the letter, but he was very grateful for the 'good medicine' he sent over.And said that the book in the box was his thank you gift.

Jia Jue raised his eyebrows and picked up the book again.

Yo!The Lin family was indeed rich, and Jia Jue didn't expect Lin Ruhai to be so generous, so he just gave him a bank note.After a rough calculation, I am afraid that there are three to four million taels.

Money is a good thing, and he doesn't feel that the things he gave away are not worth the money.It's just that Lin Ruhai still wants to be loyal to the Supreme Emperor?The letter he asked Daiyu to bring before was actually to let Lin Ruhai 'good birds choose trees to live in'.If the Supreme Emperor really valued him, he wouldn't let his family be ruined.

It's just what this reply means.

Forget it, you can't save your life if you can cure the disease.How Lin Ruhai chooses is beyond his control.

The most important thing for him now is to complete the debt collection mission given by the emperor.In fact, with the downfall of the crown prince and Prince Gong, and the enthronement of King Yong, the degree of difficulty of this task has dropped a lot.Some smart people have already consciously paid back the debts owed by their families.

Those who are greedy for money and have no brains, or those who still have a chance.Jia Jue naturally has a way to deal with it.

Of course, he also knew that it would be better if things like sending accountants didn't happen or not. After all, there was still a Supreme Emperor on top. The emperor had just ascended the throne and needed to stabilize the court situation.

However, the modern society's "restriction of high consumption" and "publicity of lack of credit" can be tried.

"Where did Guan Yan go?" Jia Jue thought that Guan Yan seemed to have a good relationship with the beggars in the city because of monitoring Ma Daopo before, and this time he needed to do this matter.

"If you go back to Master, Guan Yan is going to visit Master Rui."

"Master Rui? Jia Rui?"

"Yes, it is said that they are seriously ill, and I don't know how the two of them met." Yidong returned.

"Let Guanzhi go and have a look, and bring 20 taels of silver there. If their house is short of any medicinal materials, you can find some from my private treasury and send them over." Jia Jue didn't look down on Jia Rui, but Poor Jia Dairu lost his only grandson after losing his son in middle age.

"Yes."

After receiving Jia Jue's order, Guan Zhi immediately went to Jia Dai's Confucian home, and happened to meet Guan Yan who was about to leave at the door of their house.

"Why did you come here?" Guan Yan was puzzled, his relationship with Guan Zhi was much better now, and his impression of him was no longer a piece of wood.Know that the other party is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"The master just looked for you, but you are not here."

"What, Master is looking for me, then let's go back quickly." Guan Yan heard his master looking for him, pulling Guan Zhi in a hurry and was about to run back.

"Don't be in a hurry." Guan Zhi was helpless at Guan Yan's surprise.He told Guan Yan what Jia Jue had told him.

"The master is benevolent, let's go! Let's go and tell the good news to the old man Confucianism." He was also happy in his heart, who wouldn't want to follow a kind master.

Jia Dairu was surprised to see Guan Yan go back and forth. When he saw the 20 taels of silver and heard Jia Jue's order, he was moved to tears.

"Master Ru, don't worry, if Uncle Rui needs anything, you can come to me, and I will tell the third master."

"Good good!"

Guanzhi and Guanyan left Jia Dairu's house and hurried back to Qinghuiyuan.

"Master, you are looking for a slave."

"What's going on at Mrs. Ru's house?"

"If you go back to the master, it will be fine if you have the 20 taels of silver that the master sent over."

"That's good. This time I want to give you a task, you find the beggars in the city... find out where these people go and go, and their consumption..."

"Can you do this?"

"Return to the master, yes!" Guan Yan replied firmly, this matter is a big deal at first glance, the master can entrust him with such a matter because he trusts and reuses him.

"Okay, let Guanzhi assist you. No matter what, you can't be noticed by others."

"Yes, master."

Jia Jue nodded, Guan Zhi and Guan Yan were the only people around him who could be dispatched to handle errands.Guan Mo and the Jia family are too involved, so he should stay by his side and be an ordinary servant.As for whether to take him to Zhuangyuan Mansion, Jia Jue was still thinking about it.

The next day, the Great Court Meeting.

Because Jia Jue has been promoted to the fourth-rank Hubu Youshilang, he also has a place in the Dachaohui.Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, there were a lot of things to do. Jia Jue stood quietly behind the Minister of the Household Department and listened to the performances of the ministers.

Listening to Jia Jue's taste, this is a multi-faceted and multi-departmental cry of poverty.The Ministry of War said that it needed money to pay the army, and the Ministry of Industry said that the rainy season was coming, and some river embankments had to be repaired.The Ministry of Rites said that some canonization ceremonies for the new emperor's ascension to the throne are about to be prepared.Tsk tsk, he looked up at Mr. Qiao, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, in front of him.

Seeing that he was so unmoved, he knew that it was impossible for these people to want money.Sure enough, after the beggars finished speaking, Mrs. Qiao took a step forward and began to cry poorly.

The first is to cry and complain that the household department has no money.

The rest of the money is used for emergencies, and if there is a disaster, the court will rely on the money for disaster relief.If the money is allocated, natural disasters and man-made disasters will happen, and the court will not even be able to distribute the relief money, what will the people think.

Sitting high on the dragon chair, the emperor's face was dark and he asked the officials present what they could do.

In the end, someone really came out and told the emperor to increase taxes.The result was also very touching, and it was pulled out directly.Increasing taxes has been a sign of subjugation since ancient times.

In the end, Emperor Yonghua handed over the matter of recovering the arrears to Jia Jue.

Jia Jue took over the task under the scrutiny of all the officials.

He knew that most of the people standing here would think that he was young and unreliable in his work, despise him and think that he was promoted by relying on his status as the future son-in-law.

Jia Jue didn't care about this, and after receiving the errand, she laughed and said that Yan Yan went to the homes of various ministers who owed money to ask for debts.The first goal is Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen is not a good person, but he is not bold either. The siege of the past few days has frightened him. Jia Jue came to the door and got 60 taels of silver. As for the rest, Jia Zhen probably Really can't make it out for a while.

Jia Jue didn't force it either. He actually didn't want to take care of the affairs of Ningguo Mansion. People's hearts are unpredictable. What he thought to be good intentions may be seen as bad intentions by others.

"Brother Zhen, you...you can do it for yourself!" Jia Jue left without staying in Ningguo Mansion after speaking.

What he never expected was that it was because he was so vague.Jia Zhen, who was like a frightened bird during this period of time, was even more frightened.Silver is naturally good, but you can only enjoy it if you have a life. Jia Zhen began to anxiously collect the remaining 40 taels of silver.

For a while, I didn't have time to think about those dirty thoughts in my heart.

However, Jia Jue's process of recovering the arrears was not as smooth as expected.

Those who owed the money cried and complained about the difficulties of the family, and some said that the elderly in the family had been sick and needed money for medical treatment.Anyway, there is no money to pay back the silver.

Jia Jue didn't force it, but just wrote down the reasons why they cried poor.His soft performance naturally caused contempt in the hearts of many people watching.There are also very few who are willing to pay back the money afterwards.

Until the Great Court Meeting a month later.

"Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

"Jia Aiqing? Tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I took over the emperor's errand to pay the debts owed by the Ministry of Households a few days ago... Mr. Yuan from the Ministry of Officials said that the old father in the family was seriously ill and needed to go to the doctor to buy medicines frequently, and the family had no money left. I feel that Baishan filial piety is not the first thing to do." There was no persecution, but how could I have thought that the minister heard that Mr. Yuan's son spent a lot of money in the Yichun Tower and only laughed for Bo Jia. The minister was surprised and then carefully checked some situations, and found that Mr. Yuan's family only invited him once a month. doctor."

"My father is seriously ill, but Mr. Yuan doesn't care about it. Mr. Yuan still wants to visit brothels. This father and son are simply unfilial to the extreme, not as good as animals."

The Daqing Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the crime of unfilial piety is more serious than not paying back money owed.

"The emperor is wronged!" Yuan Chong almost fainted when he heard Jia Jue's words. How could he have thought that Jia Jue would make such an attack.Kneeling down as soon as his legs softened.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Yuan is complaining, the Emperor might as well send someone to investigate. I don't want to believe that there are such unfilial people among the officials in Daqing."

All the officials present looked at Yuan Chong with pity.

The emperor went to investigate. If what Jia Jue said was true, it would be a crime of unfilial piety, and if it was false, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.None of them can be easily escaped, and a careless one will be infamous for thousands of years.

Everyone looked at Jia Jue differently, and those who owed money also began to wonder if they had something to do with Jia Jue.

"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to investigate." Emperor Yonghua's tone was cold, but the anger in it was felt by everyone.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please forgive me!" But Yuan Chong couldn't stand the scare, and confessed directly.I just don't know which crime he pleaded guilty to.

A court meeting ended when Yuan Chong was pulled out.Yuan Chong is a member of the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor often emphasizes filial piety in order to restrain the emperor.Yuan Chong was convicted of unfilial piety, and the Supreme Emperor would not protect him.

When Jia Jue retired from the court, he felt that the emperor was much lighter. Presumably, he felt a little angry.After all, most of the officials in the imperial court today are still the emperor.This time was regarded as a wake-up call to those people, once the emperor and the courtiers.
