After Yonghao planted his two acres of land with vegetables, Gu Qinyuan ordered people to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.

There was no other way, Emperor Tiansheng even sent someone to remind him.

The emperor has no money, and life is not easy, and the expenses of the concubines in the palace have been reduced a lot.

Queens and high-ranking concubines are naturally still the same as usual, after all, they have subsidies from their natal family and sons.But those low-level unfavored beauties and talented people are pitiful. The jewelry and makeup are inferior, and even the dishes delivered by the imperial dining room are worse than before.

Emperor Tiansheng couldn't save face and cry for poverty with his courtiers, so he could only find his son.

Knowing that the fourth prince was pointed at the nose and scolded by Emperor Tiansheng recently, the first prince and the crown prince hid far away, unwilling to get close to Emperor Tiansheng.After all, they have their share in borrowing money from the household department, not to mention the large number of people under them.

When Daqi was founded, all the courtiers were poor, so the Tai and Zu ordered the honorable ministers to borrow money from the Ministry of Households. After decades, the amount is really not small.

When Emperor Tiansheng succeeded to the throne, he was quite gentle with the ministers under him, and he didn't tell them to pay back.

The courtiers don't feel sorry for spending the money in the treasury. Whenever the family needs money, they go to the household department to borrow it. Anyway, they can get the money by writing a note. Where can such a good thing be found.

Colleagues all borrowed, and the rest didn't want to be the target of public criticism, so they borrowed more or less from the household department. Even the Gu family followed the trend and borrowed 5 taels.

Gu Yanyuan was not at home, and Gu San was in charge of all the affairs at home.As for Gu Er, let him take care of these matters, and he will definitely not escape.

Gu San took the account book and went to the study to look for Gu Qingbai, and said: "Father, the Ministry of Households asked the courtiers to pay back the money, should we be ready?" The fourth prince will not talk about it, but the seventh prince always wants to give face.

Gu Qingbai flipped through the book in his hand, without even raising his head, he said: "First set aside 5 taels from the account, as for when to pay it back, let's see."

The father and son of the Gu family discussed the matter of repaying the debt. In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan also called Jia She, "Let your daughter-in-law do the math and see if 30 taels of silver can be moved out of the treasury."

Jia She was surprised and said, "Master, what are you doing with so much money?"

Jia Daishan stared, and shouted: "Didn't you hear about the major events in the court recently?"

Jia She swallowed her saliva, and then said: "Could it be that the mansion also owes money to the household department?"

Jia Daishan didn't reply to him.The boss is such an elm bump, the Rongguo Mansion can't count on him, but luckily he also gave birth to a good son.Thinking of it this way, he was a little jealous of his eldest son.He has been pampered and protected by his grandparents since he was a child, he was born with the title of inheritance, and in the future, Hu'er will give him a long face.

He immediately waved his hand in disgust, and said, "Let your wife do this, get the money ready first."

Jia Amnesty curled her lips, knowing that Jia Daishan didn't want to talk to him, so she saluted and went out.

Jia Daishan tapped his finger on the table in thought. Counting from his father, Rongguo Mansion borrowed a total of 80 taels from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is definitely not possible to pay back one piece. Isn't that just telling the Holy Father that in fact, my family has silver and I just don't want to pay it back.If he really thinks the head on his head is too heavy, he might as well go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy,

Thinking that Ningguo Mansion next door also owed a lot, Jia Daishan planned to discuss with Jia Daihua tomorrow.

As for the old relatives who are four kings and eight kilometers away, Jia Daishan only intends to remind historians, and other families are fine.

Jia Amnesty returned to the east courtyard and told Gu Qinting about the matter, she immediately nodded in response, "Understood, I will open the warehouse with the key tomorrow."

Jia Hu was teaching Jia Lian how to read, when he heard this, his eyes flashed with thought.

In the previous life, before his grandfather died, he did bring up the matter of owed money with his father and second uncle, and asked them to take the money to the household department to write off the account after finishing their filial piety.But my father and my second uncle didn't take it to heart. Grandma Shi still remembered it, but she never mentioned it afterwards.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that the Jia family lived in a muddle in their previous life, and without the self-awareness, they got involved in the matter of seizing the heirloom, and ended up with a ransacked home.

Seeing that Jia Hu didn't look at him in a daze, Jia Lian twisted her buttocks and rubbed her wrists, weeping silently in her heart, why didn't his brother stay longer at his grandfather's house and insisted on coming back to watch him study.And Xinning is the same, let him read more books as soon as we meet.

Jia Lian drooped his head. His father didn't study any books, so he was doing well!

After recovering from the memory of the previous life, Jia Hu saw Jia Lian deserting, immediately put on a straight face, and slapped the table.

Jia Lian shuddered and said with a smile, "Brother, I'll just endorse it." Well, the black face of the elder brother is too scary.

Jia Hu snorted, if he didn't get these brothers over in his life, he might as well be reincarnated.

The next day, Gu Qinting opened a large warehouse, ordered 20 taels of cash, and collected another 10 taels of antique calligraphy and paintings.

Looking at the things Gu Qinyuan sorted out, Jia Daishan couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, that's how it should be.

Jia Shishi heard what the Lai family said that Gu Qinting opened a large warehouse to get money, frowned, and waving her handkerchief, she went to Jia Daishan to complain.

"Okay, I asked her to take it." Jia Daishan waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do all day, go to worship Buddha and ask Buddha to bless the second child. I tried it."

"What is the master doing with so much silver?" Jia Shishi asked.As for Jia Daishan's last sentence, she pretended not to hear it.

Jia Zheng has been taught by an old Juren for so many years at home, and the degree of success in the examination for scholar is still relatively low, but Tong Sheng can pass the exam no matter what.In addition, the capital city is not as competitive as Jiangnan, so the competition is not so fierce.

Jia Daishan wanted Jia Zheng to try again, after all, Jia Hu was going to take the imperial examination in a few years.At that time, his uncle will not even be a child, and it will not be his own face that will be lost.

Jia Shishi still cared about Jia Zheng in the past few years, but all these years, this son has not earned her any glory, and she has given up on herself, so she hopes that Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun of the second room can earn her some face .But the grandchildren raised by their husbands and old wives are not close to her, Jia Shishi feels depressed thinking about it.

"Of course it's useful for me to take the money, so don't interfere with the big things outside." Jia Daishan said.

Jia Shishi was very angry at these words, turned his head and rushed back to Rongqing Hall.

Leaving aside the Gu and Jia families, the Lin family is also talking about repaying the money they owe.

Mrs. Lin touched her grandson's head, and said with a smile: "Grandmother asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks for Yu'er, use them quickly."

Lin Yu nodded his head and said obediently, "Grandmother eats too."

Madam Lin smiled even more happily, her gums were exposed.

Jia Min smiled and said, "Mother has good things here, Yu'er likes it."

To this daughter-in-law who gave birth to her grandson, the old lady was very kind, and told the maid behind her: "Hurry up and bring the soup to your wife."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Lin Ruhai asked, "Did mother prepare for her son?" When Lin Hai was weak, his teacher named him Ruhai, and now everyone calls him Lin Ruhai.

The old lady glanced at him and said, "Can't you compete with your wife and children for food?"

Everyone in the room laughed, Lin Yu pinched a snack and handed it to Lin Ruhai, "Father, here you are."

Lin Ruhai took it with a smile, praised Lin Yu again, and then mentioned to the old lady about the money owed by the Lin family ancestors.

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is true, but the amount is not large. But the court said that they want to pay it back?"

"Father-in-law sent me a letter, saying that the account department will probably settle the accounts in a few days." Lin Ruhai replied.

"In that case, just prepare the money." The old lady said.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got up and responded.

When Gu Qinyuan received the letter, she told Tu Mingjin about the matter, "I think it's not difficult to collect the debt."

Tu Mingjin shook his head, "It's not that simple. These families are thriving, and they have surplus money, and it won't hurt the foundation if they owe money. But after the founding of the country, many families have not been left behind. In addition, their children and grandchildren are ineffective, extravagant and extravagant. It's not that easy to pay back the money. What's more, more ministers and dignitaries have no intention of paying back the money at all."

Gu Qinyuan sighed, and then said: "It's really the uncle who owes the money."

Tu Mingjin smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can always spit out the money."

On the second day, Tu Mingjin went to the Imperial Palace to pay respects to Emperor Tiansheng, and by the way, he mentioned Yonghao's planting of vegetables, "The emperor father and the queen mother will try it at that time, and it will always be Yonghao's filial piety."

There are not even ten grandchildren in total, Emperor Tiansheng still had a deep impression on Yong Hao, and immediately smiled and said: "It's hard for him to be so filial at such a young age."

What he said made the surrounding princes secretly hate him, did the old man say that they were so disobedient?

Tu Minglang laughed and said: "Seventh brother, please remember to bring some to me, just so I can try the vegetables Yonghao grows."

Emperor Tiansheng pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "As an uncle, you are ashamed to ask for things from your nephew."

"Father, Yonghao and I have a good relationship." Tu Minglang said.

It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.Emperor Tiansheng still liked his older son in his early years, but in recent years he prefers Tu Minglang who is cheerful all day long.He doesn't like the youngest son who has no big ambitions and acts like a baby to him.

The father and son were so happy, the other princes saw their teeth sour.

"It's no wonder that Lao Qi stayed in Zhuangzi and didn't come back. It turned out that he went to enjoy the pastoral pleasure." The fourth prince said with narrowed eyes.The fourth prince usually has a very kind attitude towards people, but this time he really hated Tu Mingjin so much that he couldn't even put on a smiling face.

"Look at what fourth brother said, seventh brother was tired from work earlier, so it's not time to take a rest." Tu Minglang said hastily.The fourth brother has a bad heart.

Tu Mingjin answered, "My younger brother is tired, and fourth brother has worked hard these days."

The fifth prince let out a snort, the fourth child was working hard, and being caught and scolded by his father every day was not hard work.

The fourth prince snorted coldly in his heart, but said to Emperor Tiansheng with a smile on his face: "As soon as Lao Qi comes back, I'm really relieved."

Emperor Tiansheng didn't care how his son bickered, as long as he finished what he told him, he nodded immediately and said: "I will hand over the household department to you two brothers, and you can have some snacks."

After speaking, he looked at Tu Mingjin meaningfully.The fourth child is good at other things, but he is not good at asking for debts, but the cold face of the seventh child must be useful.

Tu Mingjin lowered his eyelids, and answered with the fourth prince.

Several princes walked out of Qianqing Palace, and the fourth prince called Tu Mingjin to stop him, "Seventh brother, can you come to my house for a sit down?"

Tu Minglang said: "Fourth brother is not kind, no matter what, you have to invite all the brothers." Most likely, the fourth brother will discuss with the seventh brother about asking for debts, so it is just right for a few brothers to get together .

The First Prince, Crown Prince and Fifth Prince stared at the smiling Tu Minglang, wishing they could strangle the culprit to death with their own hands. Didn't they know they were avoiding the fourth and seventh sons recently?

The fourth prince laughed immediately, "That's right, it just happened that our brothers got together."
