The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House
Chapter 25 Corruption and Bribery
I saw the man secretly watching outside the door for a few seconds, he seemed to have confirmed the person, turned his head and left, but the back and the laughter and laughter in the room always felt a bit bleak.
Perhaps it was Lin Ruhai who sent the nanny's family away. Jia Min was in a good mood all the time. After waiting for a few days to arrive in Jinling, she was in great shape, which relieved the people who cared about her.Lin Ruhai couldn't help being more satisfied with the two nuns. What is face, the true son is the truth, especially the Lin family, which is a single-line family, is even more important!
Acting, well, it's not considered acting.One of the purposes of Manager Lin’s coming to Jinling was indeed to rectify the ancestral property of Jia’s family. By the way, he would see if there was any suitable place to buy it as a sacrificial field. This time, Mother Jia gave Manager Lin 10 with a generous wave Two taels of silver, the market price of one mu of fertile land is four taels of silver. Of course, the price varies from place to place, but it is not much.
One hundred hectares of fertile land means five thousand mu of land, which is 2 taels of silver. That is to say, Director Lin will have to buy at least three to four thousand hectares of fertile land this time, and then arrange reliable people to sow the seeds. This is not a small task.
Therefore, in order to take advantage of Lin Ruhai, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture who just took office, and make it easier to clean up people in the future, Manager Lin and his family lived in Lin Ruhai's house first, and then moved out after they found out the foundation of Jia's family. .
Maybe Jia Daishan passed away a few years ago, and before that he was the housekeeper of Mrs. Zhang. The servants of Jia's mansion are not as rampant as in the original book, and there is no such thing as living in the ancestral house of Jia's mansion as their own.Of course, corruption is unavoidable, as long as it is not too much and does not do bad things in the name of the Jia family, Chief Manager Lin will turn a blind eye, after all, he is the biggest leader in corruption.
Even so, two families still ran into the hands of Manager Lin.They were also bold enough to lend usury under the banner of the Jia Mansion, but they didn't kill anyone and were not discovered, but this time they were caught by Manager Lin.
Usury or something is actually not forbidden, it's just that there is a limit to everything.The imperial court clearly stipulated that anyone with an interest rate of more than two cents is a usury, and if someone is caught, he will be sent to prison.Putting only one cent or two cents of interest is not considered usury, and it is a normal business income.
But these two families actually paid five cents of interest in the name of Jia's house, this is the rhythm of courting death!In the face of big right and wrong, Chief Manager Lin was clear about it, so he sent the person directly to the yamen and killed the chicken for the monkey to see.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, not to mention that those people in Jia's mansion were originally the servants of Jia's mansion who signed the contract of selling their lives. With Lin Ruhai as the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion, Chief Lin killed chickens for monkeys to see the effect. Not to mention how many times the work efficiency has been increased, even the things these people "filially" gave to Chief Lin did not know how much he earned.
Hehe, the instinct of a corrupt and bribe-taking person is that Shulan said that he was loyal to Jia's family wholeheartedly, but he was not lenient when it came to putting things away.In fact, Shulan should feel lucky. If Mr. Lin's wife hadn't died, she would have been the mistress of the Lin family. It would be her turn to have such a good thing. It would be nice to have some soup by the side.
Looking at the dazzling jewelry one by one, Shulan counted them happily, opened her jewelry box, wiped them off one by one, wrapped them in flannelette and put them in the box.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law's smirk, and felt a little embarrassed.
To say that he is very satisfied with Shulan, she is good-looking, capable, and far-sighted.The only thing that makes him 囧囧 is his obsession with jewelry, women, he can understand that he loves these, but every time he sees Shulan looking at the jewelry with a silly smile on his face, he can't help but feel embarrassed.
He didn't abuse her, not to mention the jewelry in Shulan's own dowry, and not to mention the reward she got from the master of Jia's house for favoring her, even his own family would give her one or two pieces of jewelry every month.Of course, because they are going to work in Jia's mansion, there must be no such majestic jewelry that is of great value at first glance, but they are all small and exquisite, with gems and pearls on them.
but……
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help but rubbed his forehead and looked at the sky, why did his daughter-in-law look like she had never seen the world every time she saw these things?Could it be that the girls who came out of Mrs. Wang's side have the same characteristics-love money!
How did he know that there is no woman who can resist the temptation of jewelry. Shulan was a graduate student of history in her previous life. Luxury goods are somewhat difficult.
In addition, she became a married woman as soon as she transmigrated, and she hadn't received the unified training from Jia's maid, how could she resist the temptation of jewelry.Moreover, the Lin family is rich now, but the jewelry is not as expensive as in the previous life. In this day and age, no one will find it strange that your hair is full of hairpins, and no one will think you are crazy. One of my ideas is to draw the design drawing by myself and let the gold shop do it.
Sensing someone at the door, Shulan turned to see Lin Zhixiao, her face blushed involuntarily, she must have seen her foolishness again, Lin Zhixiao has hinted at herself many times because of this, but... Bad habits die hard!
He stood up and welcomed Lin Zhixiao in, and while helping him change his clothes, he asked, "Didn't you say you went to have a drink with Jin Da? Why did you come back so soon?" This is unscientific.
Lin Zhixiao loosened his belt, cleaned his face, and said: "Father got a temporary message that there was a piece of fertile land adjacent to the Jia Mansion's sacrificial field that someone wanted to sell, so he led people to rush there immediately. Naturally, this wine can't be eaten. It's gone." When they want to treat guests to a drink, the target is naturally not him, and now Lin Zhixiao can't hit the target.
"Drink less alcohol when you go out, it will hurt your liver." Shulan gently persuaded, but she also understands that it is impossible not to drink on some occasions.
Lin Zhixiao squeezed Shulan's hand ambiguously, "I know." Then he looked at the jewelry that Shulan hadn't had time to put away, and said with a smile, "Recently, the harvest has been good."
Raising her eyebrows, Shulan said reproachfully: "How can I compare with you? I don't know anything else. I still know that we have a few more antique bottles, calligraphy and paintings in our house." With more money and land, Manager Lin won't take the opportunity to make a fortune when he buys the land for the Jia family, who knows.
"You just know what's in your heart, don't go outside and say it." Lin Zhixiao said righteously, and it wasn't just about accepting bribes.
Shulan gave him a supercilious look, she would be such a novice person, it may seem like a good reputation to kill a relative righteously, but in fact, the end of that person after killing a relative is not too good.
It was when Shulan was talking to Lin Zhixiao about what the family had gained during this period, a shocking news came - Jia Min became famous! ! !
Everyone was shocked.
