"What's the problem with this matter? Just tell Khan Ama directly. Khan Ama is a holy candlelight. If you don't know these things, you will definitely understand our difficulties!" Zhijun Wang just opened his mouth, and the fourth master said.
When King Zhijun heard this, his eyeballs bulged. It would be great if it was that simple. Yes, if he confessed that he can't handle things, Kangxi would definitely not say anything clearly. The question is, how could he be here? This kind of thing is soft.
The fourth master looked at King Zhijun's eyes, and he knew what King Zhijun was thinking. He was not angry, and he didn't dislike pickling. The beans were sent to his mouth, and he smashed his mouth with relish, and then asked: "Brother, if you don't want to do this, then, what else do you have? Brother, if you can take out dozens One million taels of silver, then pretend I didn't say anything!"
King Zhijun said angrily, "If I had so much money, would I still ask you?"
The fourth master smiled and said: "That's it. I heard there is a saying among the people that if you don't have this diamond, don't do porcelain work. Since you can't afford the money, then don't bother with this hot job! I also I know, brother, you complain that I will let go when I see the wrong limelight, but I don't want to show anything to Khan Ama, and I can't use all the food, clothing, chewing and expenses of the whole family just to make Khan Ama boast about his ability If you are willing, elder brother, then younger brother respects you!" He said, giving King Zhijun a thumbs up.
From the beginning to the end, Fourth Master didn't pay much attention to Lao Ba's words, and Lao Ba suddenly became a little annoyed. What he hated most was Fourth Master's behavior, often ignoring himself. He barely maintained his posture and said, "This time you can Tell Khan Ama, but the treasury is empty, so what should we do next?"
The fourth master squinted at Lao Ba, held a rough pottery wine glass, and smiled: "Lao Ba, it's too early for you to worry about it. I didn't do a good job this time, and I still expect Han Ama to ask you to do it next time." Such an errand?"
Lao Ba only felt angry, but he didn't know what to say. This was what he was afraid of. He was left in the cold by Kangxi for a while before, and Lao Ba felt all kinds of uneasiness. Even if it is to assist the idiot Boss, Lao Ba thinks it is an opportunity. He wants to show his ability to Kangxi, but this time there is no way. At this moment, Lao Ba can't help but become more and more annoyed.
Discuss with the fourth master, the fourth master is playing a rascal anyway, I have no other choice but to call the parents, the boss and the eighth have no other choice, in the end I still pinch my nose and honestly give Kangxi a discount, Khan Ama , we have no objection to your southern tour, but now there is no money, Khan Ama, you can figure it out!
Kangxi actually knew the financial situation of the imperial court, but he didn't think that it had reached such a stretch. However, he didn't say anything, but directly replied to express his own opinion. Then, Cao Yin, Li Xu and the others were very happy. A sum of money was quickly raised, and it was quietly sent to Kangxi, so that Kangxi's southern tour went smoothly.
Both King Zhijun and Lao Ba felt very depressed, but the fourth master was calm. They, Han Ama, would not show timidity in front of their sons anyway.After all, Khan Ama is old, just like the wolf king on the grassland. As long as he shows the slightest awkward posture, the young male wolves in the wolf pack will attack him, drive the wolf king out of the wolf pack or even kill him directly. .Kangxi is now wary of his older sons. If you think you are showing your ability in front of him, he will only think that you are showing your fangs.
Therefore, the more you do at this time, the more mistakes you make, why not be lazy!
Few people knew about the lack of money in the treasury, and Kangxi did not make a sound. However, when Kangxi returned to Luan, after asking about the situation of the treasury, he fell silent. What the hell is going on now.
The Minister of the Household Department is there to complain, what can he do, many yamen have accumulated a lot of deficits, Kangxi wants the name of a benevolent king, and he doesn't pursue it very much, and there are a bunch of officials, big and small, in the court, which is a bit difficult Just go to the national treasury to borrow money, especially many down-and-out banner people, who can't find jobs, are unwilling to condescend, and can't lower their living standards, and then directly go to the national treasury to borrow money.Some ordinary banner people are not qualified to borrow money, but some people are qualified. Therefore, they have created an industrial chain, looking for someone to borrow money from the treasury, and those who handle it get a cut of it. The borrower usually gets [-]% to [-]%. , life will be easier.As for the ones that have not been repaid, there is nothing to say, everyone has borrowed it, and if others don’t repay it, why should I repay it!The court's money, anyway, is not borrowed for nothing.
After such a toss, there will be a lot of deficits and silver owed in the national treasury, and the remaining money will have to be used to distribute the salaries of hundreds of officials, as well as other uses. If it is not enough, I am afraid that even the salaries of hundreds of officials will not be paid by the end of the year.
Kangxi has no expression on his face, he has always been able to hold his breath, what's the point now, when the San Francisco rebellion, there were people in the court shouting to go back to his hometown in Shengjing!He turned his head to look at the group of sons below, and asked, "Since that's the case, let's discuss this matter!"
There was silence for a while. In fact, everyone knows how to do this kind of thing. It is nothing more than chasing down the deficit and recovering the arrears. What about the arrears?This is an errand that offends others. Whoever opens the mouth will lose.
"Boss, what do you think?" Kangxi looked at King Zhijun and asked.
King Zhijun gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "Khan Ama, why don't you increase the tax!"
Kangxi was almost pissed off by this bad idea, can this kind of opening be opened casually?The imperial court said that each household would be taxed with an extra penny, and if it was arranged layer by layer, the people underground would probably have to pay a tael of silver. Originally, the White Lotus Sect and some other strange sects had riots one after another. During the Kangxi period, the so-called The third prince Zhu killed several of them, and after that, many people came out under the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming.Kangxi may not really love the people like his son, but in this position, he must understand that he cannot push the people into a hurry.The reason why the former Ming Dynasty perished was not because the Qing Dynasty was so brave and good at fighting. It was because the former Ming Dynasty had already driven the people to a desperate situation. Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty just came over, many people from the former Ming Dynasty helped lead the way. Later, because For various reasons, the Qing Dynasty raised the butcher's knife, which triggered a series of resistance.Kangxi is a sensible person, and scholars should be appeased, but if they really want to make the world peaceful, they still have to leave a little room for the people of the world, and they cannot be driven to a dead end.
Therefore, upon hearing what King Zhijun said, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Prince, tell me?"
The prince didn't show any signs of trembling, he said with a smile: "I remember, the three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River have the biggest deficit, so why not start chasing the deficit from them!"
This is purely which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, and where does the deficit of the three major weaving come from?To put it bluntly, it was mostly due to Kangxi’s southern tour. The crown prince did not have a good impression of Kangxi’s various favors to those families, especially in the eyes of the crown prince, Cao Yin, Li Xu, Sun Wencheng and others were all Being a villain repeatedly, with both ends of the head and mouse, is not a good thing for him, a prince, to be hypocritical or obedient.Since Khan Ama wants their sons to offend others, let's burn it on his confidants first!
When the prince said this, the eyes of the other princes looked at the prince changed. The prince really dared to say it now, and then they secretly looked at Kangxi, and Kangxi was not angry. If he gets angry with a few words, then Really pissed off.The prince is now trapped by his side, and Suo'etu was imprisoned by him before. The prince now seems to have the idea of breaking the pot, but Kangxi will not take this son lightly because of this. He raised the prince alone. If it was a fuel-efficient lamp, it would make Kangxi doubt his own vision.
When he asked about the third child, the third child said arbitrarily: "Well, I think His Highness the Crown Prince is right. It is better to pay off the debt first!" The third child is a muddleheaded person. Regarding Meng's matter, the concubine Zhang Jia, who was already a little sick, fell seriously ill. She barely survived until her two daughters got married, and she was dying. Concubine Zhang Jiashu died of a serious illness.Kangxi was more generous to the dead, and conferred the posthumous title of Concubine Min to Concubine Zhang Jiashu, who was buried in the Concubine Mausoleum.However, in the eyes of the third child, the concubine Min who was chased after him was still the concubine concubine, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and it caught up with the summer, and it was so hot that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he shaved off his hair.He shaved it as soon as he shaved it, and no one saw him wearing a hat. As a result, in the mourning hall, he felt hot and took off his hat to fan the wind.When Kangxi found out, he directly cut his prestige and became Baylor.He has been living his life with his tail between his legs these days, so he didn't dare to express any opinions at the moment, so he just echoed the prince there.
Now everyone knows that the prince is the prince, and all of them said that the prince is right, and there are some cunning ones, who say that they are stupid and have no idea, what Khan Ama says, they can do what they want!
Kangxi only had a headache when he heard it, he quickly came back to his senses, and said directly: "The matter of recovering the deficit cannot be completed in a day or two, but the treasury owes money, and now it can be recovered first. I don't know who among you Willing to share my worries?"
This is not a good job, everyone avoided it for fear of being late, the fourth master looked around, and simply stood up: "Khan Ama, my son is willing to share the worries of Khan Ama!"
When Kangxi heard this, he slapped the table and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you will be in charge of this matter. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"Don't worry, Khan Ama, I will do my best!" For the fourth master, since he has the position, he can't be afraid of offending others. In this world, anyone can be offended, and the one who can't be offended is actually his own. Dear Lao Tzu, don't look at his benevolent demeanor all these years, but if anyone really thinks that Kangxi is a benevolent king, he is definitely looking for death.
"Fourth, why are you doing this?" After leaving the palace gate, the prince said, "If you really offend those people, your life will not be easy in the future!"
The fourth master said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, if the money cannot be recovered, then everyone's life will be difficult!"
The prince didn't intend to persuade, he just smiled inexplicably: "Success, since you are ready, then the second brother won't talk too much!"
The crown prince went back to Yuqing Palace on his own, and at the same time, the king of Zhijun had a haha with the fourth master: "That fourth son, about the matter of recovering the arrears, please show mercy to my brother later!" Ran.
Not long after the fourth master returned to the mansion, Thirteen, who was on the scene just now, chased after him. He eagerly took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve: "Fourth brother, that younger brother borrowed it for the sake of his two younger sisters." It’s a lot of money, so much money has been raised first, fourth brother, you take it first, and I’ll go back and find a way later!”
The fourth master looked at Shisan with gentle eyes. He patted Shisan on the shoulder and asked, "Thirteen, take these back first, and then send them to the household department by yourself. Speaking of which, how much money do you still owe?" ?”
Shisan said with some embarrassment: "The dowry bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the two younger sisters is average. I borrowed more than 8 taels of silver back and forth. I just collected 5000 taels here, and I still owe less than 4 taels!" It's not easy for San to take out so much at once, how can there be so much cash in his mansion, Fujin took 1 taels of silver in the box, and Thirteen withdrew all the money that could be withdrawn from the mansion's account Well, even if that's the case, he even asked someone to mortgage a piece of property to scrape together so much money.When the mansion was opened on the thirteenth and fourteenth, the treasury was running out of money. Therefore, when the elder brothers opened the mansion, they all took 23 taels of silver to open the mansion. When they opened the mansion, they only had 15 It ranges from [-] to [-]. They are like [-], and they will soon be old next year, but so far Kangxi has no intention of letting them open a mansion, and they really can't afford the money.
The fourth master nodded, took out a box directly, and drew out a stack of banknotes from it: "Here is 5 taels of silver, you take the extra silver back by yourself, and you return all the money. How are you going to live!"
Thirteen shirked for a long time, then took the money, and then swore to Fourth Master that he would help Fourth Master get back all the money owed, and then walked briskly back, and then met at the gate of Baylor's mansion Fourteen came to the door.
Fourteen and Thirteen opened the mansion around the same time, but he is not as down-to-earth as Thirteen. After all, Thirteen still wants to buy dowries for his two younger sisters. Fourteen borrowed money just for enjoyment, and part of the money was taken away. He used it to buy people's hearts.Although Concubine De had a lot of money, it was impossible to subsidize Shisi how much cash, usually it was clothing, jewelry and other things, and the other things were too conspicuous, and it was inevitable that people would talk about it.Fourteenth is nothing else, filial piety is still there, and he also feels sorry for Concubine De who has been cautious in the palace for so many years. Everyone is one of the four concubines. As a result, Concubine De often retreats when facing the other three Half a step, therefore, it is impossible to ask Concubine De for money for nothing.This time, seeing that it was fourth master who was collecting the debt, he became concerned.In particular, when he saw Shisan leaving the mansion with ease, he immediately suspected that the fourth master had helped Shisan pay back the money. Immediately, he became excited. The fourth son even took care of Shisan, so he had to take care of himself Therefore, Fourteen immediately became confident.
Seeing Fourteen's face, the fourth master couldn't help wanting to give this kid a good beating, barely suppressing the urge, he held back his temper and asked, "Your fourteenth master has always been in the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. , Say, how much do you owe!"
Fourteen eyes rolled and said, "My brother owes almost 18 taels!"
Fourth Master almost wanted to slap Fourteen on the face, he continued to ask: "Where did you spend all your money, you owe so much!"
Fourteen simply acted like a rascal, and began to cry poorly: "Fourth brother, when you opened the mansion, the house was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You don't need to pay extra for these. My brother and I are different. The man who opened the mansion At that time, I took 10,000+ taels of silver, and the house I got was just average, so naturally I had to renovate it, and there was a big family pointing at my younger brother to eat, so there is a lot of money to spend!" Looking at the fourth master's face, the expression became more and more serious. It was getting worse and worse, so Fourteen simply told the truth: "When I borrowed money, I thought about my son borrowing money from my father, but never thought about paying it back, so I spent it hard!"
The fourth master simply gave 5 taels, and then said: "I am not an invoicing account here, and there is only so much I can take out now, you take the 5 taels, and the rest, you yourself Let's see!"
Fourteen saw that Fourth Master took out 5 taels casually, and naturally felt that Fourth Master could take out more, and was just about to make a fuss, but Fourth Master said calmly: "I don't want to buy it either." I asked you what you borrowed so much money for, I only have so much money, if you like it, if you want it, if you don’t like it, get out!"
Fourteen hurriedly saw it and accepted it: "If you want it, why don't you want it! Fourth brother, you are my own brother, I am right to come today, fourth brother, don't worry, I will sell everything when I go back, and I will give it to you too!" Return the money beautifully!" Saying that, Shisi stuffed the banknote into his sleeve and ran away.
Looking at Shisi Lisuo's back, fourth master couldn't help but start to get lucky.
In the next period of time, Sibeiler's Mansion suddenly became full of people, but most of them did not come to pay back the money, but to cry for poverty. At first, Siye was willing to listen to a few words, but later he simply ignored everyone and directly Moved to the household department, and then found a group of old accountants who had accumulated for many years, and started to clear the accounts.
Over the past few days, many people have paid back the money one after another. Some of them had a good relationship with Fourth Master, and some of them didn't borrow much at first. They just followed the crowd, and now they just took the opportunity to pay back directly. Yes, others, each of them began to wait and see.
Among the brothers, the king of Zhijun is a big debtor, the ninth and tenth also owe a lot, and the eighth also owes some. Although the prince himself has not borrowed money, many of the princelings have borrowed money from the treasury , the amount is also very large, they borrowed a lot, and naturally they don't want to pay it back, they don't care about the overall situation, anyway, it's just a word, no money!
The fourth master was not in a hurry to ask for it, he sorted out all the accounts first, and then asked for debts from the clan, and the first to bear the brunt were the iron hat kings.
These iron hat kings are all banner owners, and they are not short of money, but that is not the case. Over the years, they have gathered in groups of wives and concubines, the population has multiplied, and there are a lot of children. The sons are getting married, the daughters are getting married, and all kinds of things Human relations, especially if there are a few prodigal sons in the family, it is really not enough money to spend.Kangxi opened an opening to borrow money from the treasury, but they would not save money for Kangxi, and some of them even borrowed money from the treasury with their wives.Some of the children in the mansion would secretly borrow money from the treasury in the name of the mansion, even if the amount was not large at first, but with more frequency, it would be a considerable amount of money.
These iron hat kings have long been dissatisfied that their power has been greatly reduced, and now they don't even have enough money to spend, so they are expected to pay back?To be more polite, invite people in to drink some tea foam, and keep crying poorly; if you are not polite, just start cheating at the door.
Fourth master didn't say much to these people, after walking around a group of big debtors, seeing that they didn't intend to pay back the money, fourth master publicly challenged them at the court meeting.Then, a good big court meeting turned into a crying poor meeting. Kangxi sat on it, watching a group of usually decent clans and veterans singing and fighting without regard for decency, but remained calm.Repaying debts is a matter of course. Since Kangxi gave this job to the fourth master, and he hasn't seen the effect yet, Kangxi naturally won't tear it down right now. He wants to see the fourth master's methods now.
The fourth master just had a clear road at the Dachao meeting. Then, the fourth master started his own performance. After that, Feng Yu felt familiar. Isn't this the way for future generations to deal with Lao Lai!
Now I have to mention Qi Jiashi. Qi Jiashi feels that she wants to be a woman that the fourth master can't live without. She can't serve others with sex. The fourth master has been valued by Kangxi since then, and at about the same time, the little rice cake is about to enter the mansion. Qi Jia doesn't want to face this little rice cake who is suspected of true love, so, before that, she must give Fourth Master left a deep impression, don't wait until Xiao Nian Gao enters the mansion, Fourth Master will forget about her.
Therefore, Qi Jiashi performed a chance encounter, and then put on the appearance of Xie Yuhua.Since fourth master already knew that people like Qi Jia's were so-called strangers, he also wanted to know what Qi Jia's thoughts were on this, and then Qi Jia's gave him a surprise.
The biggest advantage of later generations is that knowledge has become cheaper and there are many ways to obtain knowledge. Although this has caused many specious things to spread widely, it is difficult for the ancients to imagine the perspective of later generations.It's not that the ancients were not smart, but that they had too few sources of information. It's not like the era of information explosion in later generations, where people can know the world's affairs without leaving home. It seems that there are still many childish things, but it has already brought great help to fourth master.
Therefore, the fourth master has now started to go through the registration status of the household department yamen, began to trace the property of each big debtor, and then gave an ultimatum first, if the other party still refused to pay back the money, he would not continue to come to ask for it For debts, the property was seized one by one according to the records of the government office, and then people estimated the approximate value.It’s tricky here, just like when you go to a pawn shop, new clothes can be said to be tattered clothes, and gold and silverware are also broken copper and iron in the mouth of the imperial court. It is natural to ask the government’s dentists to appraise these properties. It’s all calculated on the lower side. A big village that can produce thousands of taels of silver a year is only worth a few thousand taels in their mouths. The annual rent of a prosperous shop facing the street is a lot of money. It was as if their mouths were about to collapse immediately. After being tossed like this, some people couldn't hold it all at once.What kind of fake divorce and transfer of property can you do in future generations? Now it's not possible at all. The fourth master doesn't care. Anyway, as long as there is no separation, he will get it according to the household registration. It doesn't matter if it is the private property of the house in your house or someone else. As long as the dowry of a headed wife belongs to your family, then check the valuation directly, if you continue to hold on, you will only lose more and more, and you will really be destitute by then.
This time, a group of idlers in the middle of the capital watched enough excitement. For a while, the whole capital city began to gossip, and some people who had long been greedy for the property of their opponents quietly asked someone to report to the yamen, and waited for the yamen to turn around. These industries are released, so you can buy them at a low price.The Ministry of Household Affairs has also released rumors that the property seized this time will be sold in several batches, but before the sale, the identity of the buyer will be verified. Those who are too short are not allowed to participate.
As a result, there was another wave of money repayment in Beijing, and even Lao Jiu, who wanted to hold on to it, reluctantly returned the money.No way, the Ministry of Households directly seized Lao Jiu’s several north-south cargo ships. Lao Jiu has been purchasing all kinds of overseas goods from Jiangnan and even to Guangdong, Guangxi and Thirteen Banks through water transport all the year round. With the help of his own cost advantage, he has almost monopolized In the imported products market, the ships are now detained, and every day of delay is worth one day’s money, not to mention that the household department also said that they will sell the ships directly and package them together with the goods inside, even if Lao Jiu can buy them back later, He would also lose a lot of money. In the end, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
"Damn the fourth, what a jerk!" The ninth hid at home and drank, thinking of the money he paid back and the loss caused by the seizure of the fleet, he felt aggrieved in all kinds of ways.
Jiufujin Dong Eshi coaxed Sigege in her arms, and didn't bother to pay attention to Laojiu who was drinking and swearing at the street. Laojiu earned so much money, but she didn't get much glory as Fujin. Now that she has lost so much, she also She didn't suffer any loss, anyway, she was not favored by Lao Jiu, so she simply pretended that she didn't know anything, seeing Lao Jiu still drinking and not playing, she simply stood up with the child in her arms: "Si Gege is tired , I'm going to rest, master, you just need to be careful and wait on you!" As he said, he led the people back to his own yard.
Seeing Jiu Fujin's swift walk, Lao Jiu became more and more upset, but Jiu Fujin didn't bother to pay attention to him after he became four princesses, and he had nothing to do with Jiu Fujin. Throwing the jug directly: "Goucai, do you also think the master is useless?"
The eunuch skillfully knelt down on the ground: "I dare not!"
Lao Jiu was angry in his own mansion, and Lao Ba was also very aggrieved. Who would have thought that Lao Si would frighten everyone by playing cards so unreasonably?In fact, among the people who asked the treasury to borrow money, there were very few people who were really poor. They borrowed money not because they were shy and wanted to save money, but because they had more desires and wanted to make their lives better.Even if they have fallen to the point of living without food due to various reasons, but the broken boat still has a few catties of nails, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, they still have a lot of property. According to Si Ye's idea, they will not pay back the debt One place for the guy is enough, and the others can be directly copied.
During the process of fourth master's debt collection, Thirteen was always on the saddle. Thirteen was a delicate person. He was originally popular and good at calculating financial accounts. It was only after sorting out the accounts of the household department that this bastard only owed 7 taels of silver, but he coaxed him to say that he owed 18 taels, and he didn't even pay the other 2 taels of silver himself, but went to Lao Ba. Over there weeping for poverty, I got it from Lao Jiu.In other words, he didn't pay a penny, but made a fortune.After knowing about Fourteen's showmanship, fourth master didn't even have the energy to get angry. This bastard will fall into these crap sooner or later.Fourteen thinks he's proud of himself, but in fact, he has already left a series of black histories on Si Ye's side, and it won't be easy for him to clean up the whites in the future.
Seeing that Fourth Master's debt collection work had advanced to a certain level, Lao Ba was already in a hurry. He didn't want to be completely a foil to Fourth Master, so he quickly backstabbed him.A group of old ministers went to Kangxi to cry.
The older Kangxi is, the more face-saving he is. He didn't get the money before, but now, he has actually recovered [-]% of the owed money, which has reached Kangxi's psychological bottom line. The persecution went too far.Seeing those old ministers shouting that his family would definitely repay the debt and ask Sibei Le for forgiveness, Kangxi's heart softened. Therefore, he directly decreed that the fourth master should be promoted to the king of Yongjun, and a lot of things were rewarded. Said, fourth brother, you have worked hard during this time, and you have to give other brothers a chance to perform, so, next, you should take a good rest, and leave the rest to the eighth brother!
Fourth Master wasn't angry either. After all, it's not bad to get a county king. The Zhijun king has been appointed as the county king for so many years, and he still has no intention of being promoted again!Besides, other people think that the old man is picking peaches, but in the eyes of fourth master, the old man is clearly out of his wits, playing another bad game of chess.After all, no matter what the old eight does, he can't do better than the fourth master. If he can't even collect the remaining money, he will lose points from Kangxi. Might as well let go and rest for a while.
Thirteen, on the other hand, felt very sorry for Fourth Master. With his contribution this time, he was also given the title of son. It was time to be grateful to Fourth Master. After all, several elder brothers above were still bald-headed elder brothers, so he got one first. The title, in fact, even his fourth master helped to repay most of the money he owed, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Seeing Kangxi like this now, he couldn't help saying: "Fourth brother, you are at a disadvantage!"
The fourth master smiled and said: "Who is the one who suffers, maybe it's uncertain. Thirteen, these days, you have worked hard with the fourth brother. The fourth brother is happy today. Let's go to the fourth brother's place. Let's have a few drinks together !"
When Shisan heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Fourth brother said so, then the younger brother is naturally giving up his life to accompany the gentleman, and today I will get drunk with fourth brother!"
Fourth Master shook his head, and said: "What do you mean when you're drunk, you have to drink in moderation, drink until you're slightly tipsy, don't think about getting drunk, that's not a good thing!"
Shisan quickly nodded and said yes, Shisan was collecting debts with Fourth Master back then, and was prepared to persevere for a long time, who would have thought that Fourth Master would come to such a hand and recover most of the debt smoothly, now Not only is there money in the national treasury, but the household department also holds a large amount of high-quality assets. If these assets are sold, it will be a large amount of income. At least in a few years, the national treasury will not worry about running out of money!The first [-]% of this is due to the contribution of the fourth brother, so in Thirteen Eyes, everything the fourth brother says is right.
In the freshly released Yongjun Palace, Qi Jiashi is looking forward to the fourth master's meritorious deeds. After all, in Qi Jia's view, the fourth master was able to successfully complete most of the debt collection tasks, at least his own credit should be accounted for. Thirty percent, the king of the county can have three side Fujin, so he should be qualified to be promoted to the side Fujin, otherwise, if Xiaonian Gao enters the mansion, even if he is Jin, he will be a head lower than Xiaoniangao, that's terrible I'm aggrieved!
Qi Jia's thinking is very good, but unfortunately, Fourth Master almost forgot about Qi Jia's contribution, or in other words, in the eyes of Fourth Master, Qi Jia's contribution is far from worthy of the position of side Fujin, so However, the fourth master only rewarded Qi Jiashi with a lot of clothing and jewelry, and made no other promises.Mei Xin, the girl serving by Qi Jia's side, was very excited. She didn't know what credit Qi Jia had made, but she only thought that Qi Jia had been in the mansion for so long, loved him so much, and was not pregnant. Having received so many rewards, it can be seen that the fourth master still has his own personality in his heart. It is naturally better to be able to follow a promising master than to follow a hopeless master. The newly acquired jewelry dresses up Qi Jiashi, so as to get more favor from the fourth master: "Ge Ge, you are just in your prime, so you should take advantage of this opportunity to get pregnant with an elder brother as soon as possible!"
Qi Jia's expectations were too high, but now she only got some material rewards, but at the moment she was a little bit dispirited, she cursed inwardly, but said: "What's the matter, it must be better than that in Si Fujin's place." I have more rewards here!"
Mei Xin glanced at Qi Jiashi suspiciously: "Ge Ge, side Fujin gave birth to three elder brothers, and Ge Ge is the only one in the mansion, so the status is naturally different. Ge Ge's reward is first-class among Ge Ge in the mansion. Even Song Gege is not as good, it can be seen that Grandpa has Ge Ge in his heart, why should Ge Ge compare with Si Fujin, when Ge Ge also has an elder brother, then he will have the confidence to compete with Si Fujin!"
Qi Jia's became more and more depressed. After spending so much effort, in the end, in the heart of Fourth Master, it's better to be able to bear children?This time travel is really boring!
When King Zhijun heard this, his eyeballs bulged. It would be great if it was that simple. Yes, if he confessed that he can't handle things, Kangxi would definitely not say anything clearly. The question is, how could he be here? This kind of thing is soft.
The fourth master looked at King Zhijun's eyes, and he knew what King Zhijun was thinking. He was not angry, and he didn't dislike pickling. The beans were sent to his mouth, and he smashed his mouth with relish, and then asked: "Brother, if you don't want to do this, then, what else do you have? Brother, if you can take out dozens One million taels of silver, then pretend I didn't say anything!"
King Zhijun said angrily, "If I had so much money, would I still ask you?"
The fourth master smiled and said: "That's it. I heard there is a saying among the people that if you don't have this diamond, don't do porcelain work. Since you can't afford the money, then don't bother with this hot job! I also I know, brother, you complain that I will let go when I see the wrong limelight, but I don't want to show anything to Khan Ama, and I can't use all the food, clothing, chewing and expenses of the whole family just to make Khan Ama boast about his ability If you are willing, elder brother, then younger brother respects you!" He said, giving King Zhijun a thumbs up.
From the beginning to the end, Fourth Master didn't pay much attention to Lao Ba's words, and Lao Ba suddenly became a little annoyed. What he hated most was Fourth Master's behavior, often ignoring himself. He barely maintained his posture and said, "This time you can Tell Khan Ama, but the treasury is empty, so what should we do next?"
The fourth master squinted at Lao Ba, held a rough pottery wine glass, and smiled: "Lao Ba, it's too early for you to worry about it. I didn't do a good job this time, and I still expect Han Ama to ask you to do it next time." Such an errand?"
Lao Ba only felt angry, but he didn't know what to say. This was what he was afraid of. He was left in the cold by Kangxi for a while before, and Lao Ba felt all kinds of uneasiness. Even if it is to assist the idiot Boss, Lao Ba thinks it is an opportunity. He wants to show his ability to Kangxi, but this time there is no way. At this moment, Lao Ba can't help but become more and more annoyed.
Discuss with the fourth master, the fourth master is playing a rascal anyway, I have no other choice but to call the parents, the boss and the eighth have no other choice, in the end I still pinch my nose and honestly give Kangxi a discount, Khan Ama , we have no objection to your southern tour, but now there is no money, Khan Ama, you can figure it out!
Kangxi actually knew the financial situation of the imperial court, but he didn't think that it had reached such a stretch. However, he didn't say anything, but directly replied to express his own opinion. Then, Cao Yin, Li Xu and the others were very happy. A sum of money was quickly raised, and it was quietly sent to Kangxi, so that Kangxi's southern tour went smoothly.
Both King Zhijun and Lao Ba felt very depressed, but the fourth master was calm. They, Han Ama, would not show timidity in front of their sons anyway.After all, Khan Ama is old, just like the wolf king on the grassland. As long as he shows the slightest awkward posture, the young male wolves in the wolf pack will attack him, drive the wolf king out of the wolf pack or even kill him directly. .Kangxi is now wary of his older sons. If you think you are showing your ability in front of him, he will only think that you are showing your fangs.
Therefore, the more you do at this time, the more mistakes you make, why not be lazy!
Few people knew about the lack of money in the treasury, and Kangxi did not make a sound. However, when Kangxi returned to Luan, after asking about the situation of the treasury, he fell silent. What the hell is going on now.
The Minister of the Household Department is there to complain, what can he do, many yamen have accumulated a lot of deficits, Kangxi wants the name of a benevolent king, and he doesn't pursue it very much, and there are a bunch of officials, big and small, in the court, which is a bit difficult Just go to the national treasury to borrow money, especially many down-and-out banner people, who can't find jobs, are unwilling to condescend, and can't lower their living standards, and then directly go to the national treasury to borrow money.Some ordinary banner people are not qualified to borrow money, but some people are qualified. Therefore, they have created an industrial chain, looking for someone to borrow money from the treasury, and those who handle it get a cut of it. The borrower usually gets [-]% to [-]%. , life will be easier.As for the ones that have not been repaid, there is nothing to say, everyone has borrowed it, and if others don’t repay it, why should I repay it!The court's money, anyway, is not borrowed for nothing.
After such a toss, there will be a lot of deficits and silver owed in the national treasury, and the remaining money will have to be used to distribute the salaries of hundreds of officials, as well as other uses. If it is not enough, I am afraid that even the salaries of hundreds of officials will not be paid by the end of the year.
Kangxi has no expression on his face, he has always been able to hold his breath, what's the point now, when the San Francisco rebellion, there were people in the court shouting to go back to his hometown in Shengjing!He turned his head to look at the group of sons below, and asked, "Since that's the case, let's discuss this matter!"
There was silence for a while. In fact, everyone knows how to do this kind of thing. It is nothing more than chasing down the deficit and recovering the arrears. What about the arrears?This is an errand that offends others. Whoever opens the mouth will lose.
"Boss, what do you think?" Kangxi looked at King Zhijun and asked.
King Zhijun gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "Khan Ama, why don't you increase the tax!"
Kangxi was almost pissed off by this bad idea, can this kind of opening be opened casually?The imperial court said that each household would be taxed with an extra penny, and if it was arranged layer by layer, the people underground would probably have to pay a tael of silver. Originally, the White Lotus Sect and some other strange sects had riots one after another. During the Kangxi period, the so-called The third prince Zhu killed several of them, and after that, many people came out under the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming.Kangxi may not really love the people like his son, but in this position, he must understand that he cannot push the people into a hurry.The reason why the former Ming Dynasty perished was not because the Qing Dynasty was so brave and good at fighting. It was because the former Ming Dynasty had already driven the people to a desperate situation. Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty just came over, many people from the former Ming Dynasty helped lead the way. Later, because For various reasons, the Qing Dynasty raised the butcher's knife, which triggered a series of resistance.Kangxi is a sensible person, and scholars should be appeased, but if they really want to make the world peaceful, they still have to leave a little room for the people of the world, and they cannot be driven to a dead end.
Therefore, upon hearing what King Zhijun said, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Prince, tell me?"
The prince didn't show any signs of trembling, he said with a smile: "I remember, the three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River have the biggest deficit, so why not start chasing the deficit from them!"
This is purely which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, and where does the deficit of the three major weaving come from?To put it bluntly, it was mostly due to Kangxi’s southern tour. The crown prince did not have a good impression of Kangxi’s various favors to those families, especially in the eyes of the crown prince, Cao Yin, Li Xu, Sun Wencheng and others were all Being a villain repeatedly, with both ends of the head and mouse, is not a good thing for him, a prince, to be hypocritical or obedient.Since Khan Ama wants their sons to offend others, let's burn it on his confidants first!
When the prince said this, the eyes of the other princes looked at the prince changed. The prince really dared to say it now, and then they secretly looked at Kangxi, and Kangxi was not angry. If he gets angry with a few words, then Really pissed off.The prince is now trapped by his side, and Suo'etu was imprisoned by him before. The prince now seems to have the idea of breaking the pot, but Kangxi will not take this son lightly because of this. He raised the prince alone. If it was a fuel-efficient lamp, it would make Kangxi doubt his own vision.
When he asked about the third child, the third child said arbitrarily: "Well, I think His Highness the Crown Prince is right. It is better to pay off the debt first!" The third child is a muddleheaded person. Regarding Meng's matter, the concubine Zhang Jia, who was already a little sick, fell seriously ill. She barely survived until her two daughters got married, and she was dying. Concubine Zhang Jiashu died of a serious illness.Kangxi was more generous to the dead, and conferred the posthumous title of Concubine Min to Concubine Zhang Jiashu, who was buried in the Concubine Mausoleum.However, in the eyes of the third child, the concubine Min who was chased after him was still the concubine concubine, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and it caught up with the summer, and it was so hot that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he shaved off his hair.He shaved it as soon as he shaved it, and no one saw him wearing a hat. As a result, in the mourning hall, he felt hot and took off his hat to fan the wind.When Kangxi found out, he directly cut his prestige and became Baylor.He has been living his life with his tail between his legs these days, so he didn't dare to express any opinions at the moment, so he just echoed the prince there.
Now everyone knows that the prince is the prince, and all of them said that the prince is right, and there are some cunning ones, who say that they are stupid and have no idea, what Khan Ama says, they can do what they want!
Kangxi only had a headache when he heard it, he quickly came back to his senses, and said directly: "The matter of recovering the deficit cannot be completed in a day or two, but the treasury owes money, and now it can be recovered first. I don't know who among you Willing to share my worries?"
This is not a good job, everyone avoided it for fear of being late, the fourth master looked around, and simply stood up: "Khan Ama, my son is willing to share the worries of Khan Ama!"
When Kangxi heard this, he slapped the table and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you will be in charge of this matter. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"Don't worry, Khan Ama, I will do my best!" For the fourth master, since he has the position, he can't be afraid of offending others. In this world, anyone can be offended, and the one who can't be offended is actually his own. Dear Lao Tzu, don't look at his benevolent demeanor all these years, but if anyone really thinks that Kangxi is a benevolent king, he is definitely looking for death.
"Fourth, why are you doing this?" After leaving the palace gate, the prince said, "If you really offend those people, your life will not be easy in the future!"
The fourth master said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, if the money cannot be recovered, then everyone's life will be difficult!"
The prince didn't intend to persuade, he just smiled inexplicably: "Success, since you are ready, then the second brother won't talk too much!"
The crown prince went back to Yuqing Palace on his own, and at the same time, the king of Zhijun had a haha with the fourth master: "That fourth son, about the matter of recovering the arrears, please show mercy to my brother later!" Ran.
Not long after the fourth master returned to the mansion, Thirteen, who was on the scene just now, chased after him. He eagerly took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve: "Fourth brother, that younger brother borrowed it for the sake of his two younger sisters." It’s a lot of money, so much money has been raised first, fourth brother, you take it first, and I’ll go back and find a way later!”
The fourth master looked at Shisan with gentle eyes. He patted Shisan on the shoulder and asked, "Thirteen, take these back first, and then send them to the household department by yourself. Speaking of which, how much money do you still owe?" ?”
Shisan said with some embarrassment: "The dowry bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the two younger sisters is average. I borrowed more than 8 taels of silver back and forth. I just collected 5000 taels here, and I still owe less than 4 taels!" It's not easy for San to take out so much at once, how can there be so much cash in his mansion, Fujin took 1 taels of silver in the box, and Thirteen withdrew all the money that could be withdrawn from the mansion's account Well, even if that's the case, he even asked someone to mortgage a piece of property to scrape together so much money.When the mansion was opened on the thirteenth and fourteenth, the treasury was running out of money. Therefore, when the elder brothers opened the mansion, they all took 23 taels of silver to open the mansion. When they opened the mansion, they only had 15 It ranges from [-] to [-]. They are like [-], and they will soon be old next year, but so far Kangxi has no intention of letting them open a mansion, and they really can't afford the money.
The fourth master nodded, took out a box directly, and drew out a stack of banknotes from it: "Here is 5 taels of silver, you take the extra silver back by yourself, and you return all the money. How are you going to live!"
Thirteen shirked for a long time, then took the money, and then swore to Fourth Master that he would help Fourth Master get back all the money owed, and then walked briskly back, and then met at the gate of Baylor's mansion Fourteen came to the door.
Fourteen and Thirteen opened the mansion around the same time, but he is not as down-to-earth as Thirteen. After all, Thirteen still wants to buy dowries for his two younger sisters. Fourteen borrowed money just for enjoyment, and part of the money was taken away. He used it to buy people's hearts.Although Concubine De had a lot of money, it was impossible to subsidize Shisi how much cash, usually it was clothing, jewelry and other things, and the other things were too conspicuous, and it was inevitable that people would talk about it.Fourteenth is nothing else, filial piety is still there, and he also feels sorry for Concubine De who has been cautious in the palace for so many years. Everyone is one of the four concubines. As a result, Concubine De often retreats when facing the other three Half a step, therefore, it is impossible to ask Concubine De for money for nothing.This time, seeing that it was fourth master who was collecting the debt, he became concerned.In particular, when he saw Shisan leaving the mansion with ease, he immediately suspected that the fourth master had helped Shisan pay back the money. Immediately, he became excited. The fourth son even took care of Shisan, so he had to take care of himself Therefore, Fourteen immediately became confident.
Seeing Fourteen's face, the fourth master couldn't help wanting to give this kid a good beating, barely suppressing the urge, he held back his temper and asked, "Your fourteenth master has always been in the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. , Say, how much do you owe!"
Fourteen eyes rolled and said, "My brother owes almost 18 taels!"
Fourth Master almost wanted to slap Fourteen on the face, he continued to ask: "Where did you spend all your money, you owe so much!"
Fourteen simply acted like a rascal, and began to cry poorly: "Fourth brother, when you opened the mansion, the house was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You don't need to pay extra for these. My brother and I are different. The man who opened the mansion At that time, I took 10,000+ taels of silver, and the house I got was just average, so naturally I had to renovate it, and there was a big family pointing at my younger brother to eat, so there is a lot of money to spend!" Looking at the fourth master's face, the expression became more and more serious. It was getting worse and worse, so Fourteen simply told the truth: "When I borrowed money, I thought about my son borrowing money from my father, but never thought about paying it back, so I spent it hard!"
The fourth master simply gave 5 taels, and then said: "I am not an invoicing account here, and there is only so much I can take out now, you take the 5 taels, and the rest, you yourself Let's see!"
Fourteen saw that Fourth Master took out 5 taels casually, and naturally felt that Fourth Master could take out more, and was just about to make a fuss, but Fourth Master said calmly: "I don't want to buy it either." I asked you what you borrowed so much money for, I only have so much money, if you like it, if you want it, if you don’t like it, get out!"
Fourteen hurriedly saw it and accepted it: "If you want it, why don't you want it! Fourth brother, you are my own brother, I am right to come today, fourth brother, don't worry, I will sell everything when I go back, and I will give it to you too!" Return the money beautifully!" Saying that, Shisi stuffed the banknote into his sleeve and ran away.
Looking at Shisi Lisuo's back, fourth master couldn't help but start to get lucky.
In the next period of time, Sibeiler's Mansion suddenly became full of people, but most of them did not come to pay back the money, but to cry for poverty. At first, Siye was willing to listen to a few words, but later he simply ignored everyone and directly Moved to the household department, and then found a group of old accountants who had accumulated for many years, and started to clear the accounts.
Over the past few days, many people have paid back the money one after another. Some of them had a good relationship with Fourth Master, and some of them didn't borrow much at first. They just followed the crowd, and now they just took the opportunity to pay back directly. Yes, others, each of them began to wait and see.
Among the brothers, the king of Zhijun is a big debtor, the ninth and tenth also owe a lot, and the eighth also owes some. Although the prince himself has not borrowed money, many of the princelings have borrowed money from the treasury , the amount is also very large, they borrowed a lot, and naturally they don't want to pay it back, they don't care about the overall situation, anyway, it's just a word, no money!
The fourth master was not in a hurry to ask for it, he sorted out all the accounts first, and then asked for debts from the clan, and the first to bear the brunt were the iron hat kings.
These iron hat kings are all banner owners, and they are not short of money, but that is not the case. Over the years, they have gathered in groups of wives and concubines, the population has multiplied, and there are a lot of children. The sons are getting married, the daughters are getting married, and all kinds of things Human relations, especially if there are a few prodigal sons in the family, it is really not enough money to spend.Kangxi opened an opening to borrow money from the treasury, but they would not save money for Kangxi, and some of them even borrowed money from the treasury with their wives.Some of the children in the mansion would secretly borrow money from the treasury in the name of the mansion, even if the amount was not large at first, but with more frequency, it would be a considerable amount of money.
These iron hat kings have long been dissatisfied that their power has been greatly reduced, and now they don't even have enough money to spend, so they are expected to pay back?To be more polite, invite people in to drink some tea foam, and keep crying poorly; if you are not polite, just start cheating at the door.
Fourth master didn't say much to these people, after walking around a group of big debtors, seeing that they didn't intend to pay back the money, fourth master publicly challenged them at the court meeting.Then, a good big court meeting turned into a crying poor meeting. Kangxi sat on it, watching a group of usually decent clans and veterans singing and fighting without regard for decency, but remained calm.Repaying debts is a matter of course. Since Kangxi gave this job to the fourth master, and he hasn't seen the effect yet, Kangxi naturally won't tear it down right now. He wants to see the fourth master's methods now.
The fourth master just had a clear road at the Dachao meeting. Then, the fourth master started his own performance. After that, Feng Yu felt familiar. Isn't this the way for future generations to deal with Lao Lai!
Now I have to mention Qi Jiashi. Qi Jiashi feels that she wants to be a woman that the fourth master can't live without. She can't serve others with sex. The fourth master has been valued by Kangxi since then, and at about the same time, the little rice cake is about to enter the mansion. Qi Jia doesn't want to face this little rice cake who is suspected of true love, so, before that, she must give Fourth Master left a deep impression, don't wait until Xiao Nian Gao enters the mansion, Fourth Master will forget about her.
Therefore, Qi Jiashi performed a chance encounter, and then put on the appearance of Xie Yuhua.Since fourth master already knew that people like Qi Jia's were so-called strangers, he also wanted to know what Qi Jia's thoughts were on this, and then Qi Jia's gave him a surprise.
The biggest advantage of later generations is that knowledge has become cheaper and there are many ways to obtain knowledge. Although this has caused many specious things to spread widely, it is difficult for the ancients to imagine the perspective of later generations.It's not that the ancients were not smart, but that they had too few sources of information. It's not like the era of information explosion in later generations, where people can know the world's affairs without leaving home. It seems that there are still many childish things, but it has already brought great help to fourth master.
Therefore, the fourth master has now started to go through the registration status of the household department yamen, began to trace the property of each big debtor, and then gave an ultimatum first, if the other party still refused to pay back the money, he would not continue to come to ask for it For debts, the property was seized one by one according to the records of the government office, and then people estimated the approximate value.It’s tricky here, just like when you go to a pawn shop, new clothes can be said to be tattered clothes, and gold and silverware are also broken copper and iron in the mouth of the imperial court. It is natural to ask the government’s dentists to appraise these properties. It’s all calculated on the lower side. A big village that can produce thousands of taels of silver a year is only worth a few thousand taels in their mouths. The annual rent of a prosperous shop facing the street is a lot of money. It was as if their mouths were about to collapse immediately. After being tossed like this, some people couldn't hold it all at once.What kind of fake divorce and transfer of property can you do in future generations? Now it's not possible at all. The fourth master doesn't care. Anyway, as long as there is no separation, he will get it according to the household registration. It doesn't matter if it is the private property of the house in your house or someone else. As long as the dowry of a headed wife belongs to your family, then check the valuation directly, if you continue to hold on, you will only lose more and more, and you will really be destitute by then.
This time, a group of idlers in the middle of the capital watched enough excitement. For a while, the whole capital city began to gossip, and some people who had long been greedy for the property of their opponents quietly asked someone to report to the yamen, and waited for the yamen to turn around. These industries are released, so you can buy them at a low price.The Ministry of Household Affairs has also released rumors that the property seized this time will be sold in several batches, but before the sale, the identity of the buyer will be verified. Those who are too short are not allowed to participate.
As a result, there was another wave of money repayment in Beijing, and even Lao Jiu, who wanted to hold on to it, reluctantly returned the money.No way, the Ministry of Households directly seized Lao Jiu’s several north-south cargo ships. Lao Jiu has been purchasing all kinds of overseas goods from Jiangnan and even to Guangdong, Guangxi and Thirteen Banks through water transport all the year round. With the help of his own cost advantage, he has almost monopolized In the imported products market, the ships are now detained, and every day of delay is worth one day’s money, not to mention that the household department also said that they will sell the ships directly and package them together with the goods inside, even if Lao Jiu can buy them back later, He would also lose a lot of money. In the end, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
"Damn the fourth, what a jerk!" The ninth hid at home and drank, thinking of the money he paid back and the loss caused by the seizure of the fleet, he felt aggrieved in all kinds of ways.
Jiufujin Dong Eshi coaxed Sigege in her arms, and didn't bother to pay attention to Laojiu who was drinking and swearing at the street. Laojiu earned so much money, but she didn't get much glory as Fujin. Now that she has lost so much, she also She didn't suffer any loss, anyway, she was not favored by Lao Jiu, so she simply pretended that she didn't know anything, seeing Lao Jiu still drinking and not playing, she simply stood up with the child in her arms: "Si Gege is tired , I'm going to rest, master, you just need to be careful and wait on you!" As he said, he led the people back to his own yard.
Seeing Jiu Fujin's swift walk, Lao Jiu became more and more upset, but Jiu Fujin didn't bother to pay attention to him after he became four princesses, and he had nothing to do with Jiu Fujin. Throwing the jug directly: "Goucai, do you also think the master is useless?"
The eunuch skillfully knelt down on the ground: "I dare not!"
Lao Jiu was angry in his own mansion, and Lao Ba was also very aggrieved. Who would have thought that Lao Si would frighten everyone by playing cards so unreasonably?In fact, among the people who asked the treasury to borrow money, there were very few people who were really poor. They borrowed money not because they were shy and wanted to save money, but because they had more desires and wanted to make their lives better.Even if they have fallen to the point of living without food due to various reasons, but the broken boat still has a few catties of nails, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, they still have a lot of property. According to Si Ye's idea, they will not pay back the debt One place for the guy is enough, and the others can be directly copied.
During the process of fourth master's debt collection, Thirteen was always on the saddle. Thirteen was a delicate person. He was originally popular and good at calculating financial accounts. It was only after sorting out the accounts of the household department that this bastard only owed 7 taels of silver, but he coaxed him to say that he owed 18 taels, and he didn't even pay the other 2 taels of silver himself, but went to Lao Ba. Over there weeping for poverty, I got it from Lao Jiu.In other words, he didn't pay a penny, but made a fortune.After knowing about Fourteen's showmanship, fourth master didn't even have the energy to get angry. This bastard will fall into these crap sooner or later.Fourteen thinks he's proud of himself, but in fact, he has already left a series of black histories on Si Ye's side, and it won't be easy for him to clean up the whites in the future.
Seeing that Fourth Master's debt collection work had advanced to a certain level, Lao Ba was already in a hurry. He didn't want to be completely a foil to Fourth Master, so he quickly backstabbed him.A group of old ministers went to Kangxi to cry.
The older Kangxi is, the more face-saving he is. He didn't get the money before, but now, he has actually recovered [-]% of the owed money, which has reached Kangxi's psychological bottom line. The persecution went too far.Seeing those old ministers shouting that his family would definitely repay the debt and ask Sibei Le for forgiveness, Kangxi's heart softened. Therefore, he directly decreed that the fourth master should be promoted to the king of Yongjun, and a lot of things were rewarded. Said, fourth brother, you have worked hard during this time, and you have to give other brothers a chance to perform, so, next, you should take a good rest, and leave the rest to the eighth brother!
Fourth Master wasn't angry either. After all, it's not bad to get a county king. The Zhijun king has been appointed as the county king for so many years, and he still has no intention of being promoted again!Besides, other people think that the old man is picking peaches, but in the eyes of fourth master, the old man is clearly out of his wits, playing another bad game of chess.After all, no matter what the old eight does, he can't do better than the fourth master. If he can't even collect the remaining money, he will lose points from Kangxi. Might as well let go and rest for a while.
Thirteen, on the other hand, felt very sorry for Fourth Master. With his contribution this time, he was also given the title of son. It was time to be grateful to Fourth Master. After all, several elder brothers above were still bald-headed elder brothers, so he got one first. The title, in fact, even his fourth master helped to repay most of the money he owed, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Seeing Kangxi like this now, he couldn't help saying: "Fourth brother, you are at a disadvantage!"
The fourth master smiled and said: "Who is the one who suffers, maybe it's uncertain. Thirteen, these days, you have worked hard with the fourth brother. The fourth brother is happy today. Let's go to the fourth brother's place. Let's have a few drinks together !"
When Shisan heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Fourth brother said so, then the younger brother is naturally giving up his life to accompany the gentleman, and today I will get drunk with fourth brother!"
Fourth Master shook his head, and said: "What do you mean when you're drunk, you have to drink in moderation, drink until you're slightly tipsy, don't think about getting drunk, that's not a good thing!"
Shisan quickly nodded and said yes, Shisan was collecting debts with Fourth Master back then, and was prepared to persevere for a long time, who would have thought that Fourth Master would come to such a hand and recover most of the debt smoothly, now Not only is there money in the national treasury, but the household department also holds a large amount of high-quality assets. If these assets are sold, it will be a large amount of income. At least in a few years, the national treasury will not worry about running out of money!The first [-]% of this is due to the contribution of the fourth brother, so in Thirteen Eyes, everything the fourth brother says is right.
In the freshly released Yongjun Palace, Qi Jiashi is looking forward to the fourth master's meritorious deeds. After all, in Qi Jia's view, the fourth master was able to successfully complete most of the debt collection tasks, at least his own credit should be accounted for. Thirty percent, the king of the county can have three side Fujin, so he should be qualified to be promoted to the side Fujin, otherwise, if Xiaonian Gao enters the mansion, even if he is Jin, he will be a head lower than Xiaoniangao, that's terrible I'm aggrieved!
Qi Jia's thinking is very good, but unfortunately, Fourth Master almost forgot about Qi Jia's contribution, or in other words, in the eyes of Fourth Master, Qi Jia's contribution is far from worthy of the position of side Fujin, so However, the fourth master only rewarded Qi Jiashi with a lot of clothing and jewelry, and made no other promises.Mei Xin, the girl serving by Qi Jia's side, was very excited. She didn't know what credit Qi Jia had made, but she only thought that Qi Jia had been in the mansion for so long, loved him so much, and was not pregnant. Having received so many rewards, it can be seen that the fourth master still has his own personality in his heart. It is naturally better to be able to follow a promising master than to follow a hopeless master. The newly acquired jewelry dresses up Qi Jiashi, so as to get more favor from the fourth master: "Ge Ge, you are just in your prime, so you should take advantage of this opportunity to get pregnant with an elder brother as soon as possible!"
Qi Jia's expectations were too high, but now she only got some material rewards, but at the moment she was a little bit dispirited, she cursed inwardly, but said: "What's the matter, it must be better than that in Si Fujin's place." I have more rewards here!"
Mei Xin glanced at Qi Jiashi suspiciously: "Ge Ge, side Fujin gave birth to three elder brothers, and Ge Ge is the only one in the mansion, so the status is naturally different.
