The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

Wang's private treasury is an eye-opener, not to mention gold and silver, many things in it are originally from the public, even the outer box has not been changed.

After Mother Lin heard about it, she didn't raise her eyes. She had already prepared for it. When she was still trapped inside the jade plaque, Jia's house was ransacked. Except for some clumsy things, there are almost no valuable things, but the private treasury of several members of the family is full.That is, Wang Xifeng, that fool who thought he was shrewd, was so fooled that his dowry was almost empty, and he left a box of pawn tickets!

"Since it originally belonged to the public school, let's return it to the public school!" Mother Lin took the list and took a look. Seeing that it said 63 taels of cash and 7000 taels of gold, she thought about it. After a while, he still said so.

Mother Lin knew that the Jia family still owed a lot of money to the treasury. Most of the money was owed by Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan when they were here. If you say that Jia Daishan knows the art of war and strategy, then Jia Yuan is just a landowner who can't read a few big characters and can understand the art of war and strategy, isn't it a joke!If you want the soldiers and horses under your hands to have combat power, you have to be willing to pay, not to mention, if you want these soldiers to have no worries, you have to be willing to pay for them.

However, the money given by the imperial court is somewhat fixed, and it is not much at all. Therefore, at that time, some generals simply used some means, such as temporarily collecting and embezzling funds from other places, and then sent a note. If no money is issued, these embezzled funds will naturally not be made up, and the deficit will naturally fall.

The higher-ups also knew where these were used. Therefore, although there were IOUs, in fact, each family owed them for the imperial court to raise soldiers, so naturally there was no intention of urging them.Each family also understands how the money is owed, so there is no thought of paying it back.

This kind of debt is a kind of money. In addition, there are always times when the money of each family is not enough. A few years ago, the saint, out of sympathy for his ministers, allowed his ministers if they had any financial troubles. Some money was temporarily embezzled over there, consciously, if the money is loose, it will be repaid, and unconsciously, it will be ignored.At the beginning of this question, some people who are not short of money also feel that it is not worthwhile to borrow money, and some people see that others have borrowed, but they themselves do not borrow, and they feel a little out of place. If you are arrogant, doesn't it mean that we are all jerks?Therefore, many people have borrowed some more or less, and then wait and see whether they have paid back. If others do not pay back, if you pay back, you are against others. In this way, it is no wonder that the national treasury is not empty. !

When the saint came to the throne later, although the treasury would not be so empty that mice could run away, it was still a bit embarrassing.Every year, the taxes and money are about the same everywhere. At that time, there were always various natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there were holes everywhere to be filled. Because of the Zhen family, there were always some problems with the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. After Lin Ruhai passed, Although it was better, but I didn't know how many people I offended because of this, and I was struggling all the time, and finally died in office. When Lin Ruhai died, the one who took over was not as good as Lin Ruhai!

Later, the sage Lin Mu heard some of his actions vaguely, and knew that this man was mean and ungrateful, and he could even be said to be a rather narrow-minded character. Lin Ruhai was not his confidant, so he looked at him with peace of mind. Lin Ruhai survived to death in office and did not give the Lin family any favor in the end.There is no money in the national treasury, and he doesn't care what the reason is for these shortfalls. Anyway, since your family owes it, then you have to pay it back if you don't. If you don't realize it, this is your sin.

The most ironic thing for Mother Lin is that this sage actually came up with a concubine's visitation, in order to ask everyone to pay for it, but he relied on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and several imperial merchants who had taken refuge in him to earn money. Be full.Of course, the natal families of these concubines have exhausted their inner pockets because of these things. In order to make money, they have done many evil things and affected many people. For that saint, it is a ready-made crime, but those victims What should I do?Looking back at each family being questioned and ransacked, I have to thank the saint for his wisdom and martial arts!

Although Lin Mu is just a housewife and doesn't know much about political affairs, many things are actually the same. That's the way it is.

The reason why Mother Lin wanted to urge Lin Ruhai to quickly hand over the affairs of the Yanzheng and return to Beijing to take up the post was also because of this.Lin Ruhai is the current confidant, but he has no friendship with the later one. After returning to Beijing, even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will just do a idle job, at least there will be no fear of his life.

Mother Lin also thought about whether she should take advantage of this opportunity and pay back the shortfalls in the treasury when the family has money, but soon, Mother Lin dismissed this idea. On the one hand, she didn't have that Thinking of Jia's family, if Jia's family has a heart, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng should bring this matter up. On the other hand, for that reason, no one else paid it back, so you paid it back. What's your intention?What's more, the current ruler is well aware of the deficits of the Jia family and others, so naturally he has no intention of forcing them to pay back, and even thought of writing off the matter a long time ago.

The Zhen family owed the state treasury millions of taels of silver because of the four pick-ups. Now, in order for the Zhen family to make up for the shortfall, they are asked to accept jobs in the salt administration. It means to repay the shortfalls of my son together.Who knew that the Zhen family was actually that kind of guy. They were living a life of luxury and wealth, and they only said that they were short-lived for the sake of the saint, and there was no intention of paying it back at all.Even if the saints later removed their errands in the salt administration, they were still not reconciled, and they always wanted to reach out to the salt administration with the help of the contacts left before.

Mother Lin didn't have a good impression of the Zhen family. She had always suspected that Lin Ruhai's death was inextricably related to the Zhen family, but there was no direct evidence.

Others don't know that Lin's mother has thought about so many things in such a short period of time. After hearing from Lin's mother, the money will be returned to the public, and most of it will be used to hold the treasury, and the rest will be put into the public account. For normal use of the entire Rongfu.

Except for cash, Mother Lin was not very interested in other ornaments and treasures. After looking at them, she picked out some of the ornaments and ordered which ones to give to Jia Lian and his wife. Some for Jia Baoyu, some for Li Wan and Jia Lan's mother and son, and some for Sanchun. Of course, Daiyu was also included.

Although Lin's mother had never really raised this granddaughter, she still knew Lin Daiyu's aesthetics and preferences, so she didn't choose the one with the highest value, but the one that most suited Lin Daiyu's wishes.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu's name was at the top of the list, the people below thought that Jia Baoyu's name was very precious, and immediately thought that Lin's mother still valued Jia Baoyu very much. Attitude, immediately extinguished the thought of wanting to win the big house immediately.

This is what Lin's mother wants. If she knocks the second room into the dust right now, what's the point? It's like ordering a donkey, hanging a carrot in front of them so that they can see it but not eat it. In the end, it came to nothing, which can make them really heartbroken.

"Okay, let's go back and compare it with the list at the public school to see what is missing?" Mother Lin looked at it casually and said, "Speaking of which, what happened to Zhou Rui's son-in-law?"

The steward below quickly said: "Don't worry, old lady, she has already been arrested, and even his shop has been closed!"

"Well, he is a good citizen after all, but our family is not easy to deal with. We took a confession later and sent him directly to Shuntian Mansion. He only said that he colluded with our family's servants and stole property from the mansion! As for Tell him to shut up the extra words!" Mother Lin instructed.

The steward quickly agreed, and heard Mother Lin say: "As for those servants who betrayed the master, our family temple is too small to accommodate these giant Buddhas, and it is inevitable that they will make their family ugly when they are sent to the government, so let's just sell them with medicine! Said, my old lady dreamed of the deceased old man yesterday, and she wanted to pray for the old man, and released the servant who had been serving for a long time at home!" It is actually not easy to deal with so many people, but That's all it takes to give an appropriate explanation to the outside world. As long as no one speaks indiscriminately, then there is no problem.

The steward was stunned. He originally thought that Mother Lin would be lenient with Lai Da and the others. After all, the Lai family has always been Mother Lin's confidantes. Who knew that Mother Lin didn't seem to treat them differently, and didn't even mention it. , hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Others are easy to handle, but Lai Shangrong was released when he was born, now?"

Mother Lin said indifferently: "Since he is a good citizen, our family can't control it. However, his family is not. Is it possible that he can manage our family and deal with the slaves?"

The steward immediately wanted to slap himself in the face. Lai Shangrong was also a slave and servant girl since he was a child, and he was spoiled and raised. According to the old lady's wishes, the family's money naturally belonged to the Jia family and had to be taken back. His four limbs Those who don’t work hard and don’t distinguish grains, without family support, even though they are nearly [-] years old, can’t lift their hands and shoulders, what can they do? Without the protection of Jia’s family, his delicate skin and tender flesh , I don’t know what will happen after I go out!But when you think about it, Mother Lin has always trusted Yourong in the Lai family. I heard that she agreed to Nanny Lai before and donated an official to Lai Shangrong in return. In the end, their family did those things behind their master's back. Bodhisattva Buddha, the Buddha still has the appearance of a vajra with glaring eyes!

After receiving Mother Lin's order, the steward thought of the old lady's thunderous tactics when she was a housekeeper, which she had heard from her parents, and her heart was agitated. Although the old lady is old, she is still a sensible person. What a mistake, although it is not likely to be sold out like those people, I am afraid that it will be left out, so I suddenly became more cautious.

After the steward left, Daiyu Sanchun, who had retreated to the room before, also came out, looking at Mother Lin with shock in her eyes.
