[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

On the day of Linlin's wedding, the mansion of Xunyan Yushi in Yangzhou City was also decorated with lights and festoons everywhere.All the officials from Jiangnan who could come came, and the gifts who couldn't come also arrived.

Lin Ruhai wore new clothes and entertained these colleagues in the official residence.After everyone dispersed, he returned to the backyard exhausted.

Just a few days ago, Aunt Zong, who is usually honest and modest, gave birth to a son.Having another son in middle age really comforted Lin Ruhai.

Just like today's auspicious day, after returning from the front yard, although he was exhausted, he clenched his fist and tapped his sore waist, and couldn't help but go to the backyard to see his little son.

Aunt Zong was still in confinement, the mothers-in-law carried the young master out, and it happened that the young son was awake, Lin Ruhai hurriedly took over the baby, and couldn't help teasing him a few times.

Who knew that this kid didn't cooperate, and started crying as soon as he saw his father.

The nanny hurried over, "Master, our second master is hungry."

"Hold it, carry it." After handing the child over, he watched helplessly and carried him to the back room, so he stopped sitting here.

As soon as I came out of the backyard and came to the study, the person in charge came to report, "I just sorted it out. The congratulatory gifts I got totaled nearly 15 taels of silver, and there were many unique calligraphy and paintings in it. Our accountant said that this number is It’s a lower value. Please show me, master, how to deal with this thing?”

"Those unsightly ones were sold in the south of the Yangtze River, turned into silver, and sent to the emperor. Some of the unsightly ones were packed directly into boxes and sent to the capital. Don't send them to our house, all of them will be sent to the emperor's hidden residence."

When I was not an official, I thought I could be clean and honest for a lifetime, and my family was rich so I didn't need to be greedy, but I didn't expect that I would still be covered with fish in the end.

"Leave Jiangnan as soon as you find an opportunity. Sitting in this position will kill you." Thinking that the two sons are still young now, although it is my son-in-law who sits on the dragon seat... the son-in-law cannot be compared with the son.

Within two months, the report of the mansion spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and Lin Ruhai was granted the title of Duke Cheng'en.Along with these mansion newspapers, besides the family letter, there is Cheng Engong's court uniform.

Lin Ruhai didn't take a long look at those vain things, and was a little anxious holding a thick stack of family letters.After finally sending away those who came to congratulate, I found an opportunity to open the family letter.

From the handwriting inside, it was obvious that it belonged to the eldest son. On the first page, Lin Hao asked his father to send his aunt and brother back to the north, emphasizing in the letter that "Jiangnan is not a place to live for a long time".

Seeing that his son had understood the court situation, Lin Ruhai stroked his beard happily.The second page is about the eldest daughter. Lin Ruhai read it very carefully, wishing to savor every word carefully.

The letter said, "On the second day after the empress entered the palace, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were summoned to the front court, and the treasury was closed to check the accounts. After another two days, countless dead and bad debts were found. There are more than fifty people...the children are terrified, the queen has only entered the palace for two days, and the officials in the palace do not know how to do such a thing. This plan is not enough. It is upright, it seems to be the work of a woman... On the fourth day, the angel arrived at home, and gave the father a false title..."

Lin Ruhai was so frightened that the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground, and the heads of people at West Street were rolling... It must be the heads of those confidantes of the Supreme Emperor who fell to the ground. The father and son had already fought, and now they have torn their faces, but what happened in it? Daughter is involved.Quickly pick up the letter paper and read on.

"...My son was terrified. The Queen's maid returned home. It was rumored that my father would return soon. She talked about the salt tax, which made my father think twice in the future. The gold and silver embezzled earlier will arrive in Yangzhou within two years..."

Upon seeing the news, Lin Ruhai quickly stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Could it be that what Madam said is true, Linlin... no, the empress loves to make troubles? It shouldn't be!"

Then I looked down again, there was nothing important, I just talked about some family matters, and there was one thing that was neither good nor bad. He wants to ask Baoyu to marry his younger sister Daiyu as his wife.

Lin Ruhai quickly spread out the letter paper, thought for a while and began to write the letter. There was only one central idea, that is, your sister is still young and is not in a hurry to get married, and this is the only thing that can be written in the letter. It cannot be said.

As I write this, I feel warm in my heart when I think of my well-behaved and lovely little daughter, and I feel heart-piercing when I think of my eldest daughter who is in danger now from the little daughter.

"Children are debts, the ancients never deceived me."After feeling emotionally, he wiped his tears again, thinking that his wife and children were not around, and there was no one who could let him talk about his thoughts, so he asked someone to bring wine and food over and drank a few glasses by himself under the lamp.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he suddenly remembered something, spread out the paper again, and wrote a memorial, Lin Ruhai wanted to return to the capital to congratulate him.

Both Linlin and the emperor, who were far away in the capital, had serious faces.

The Supreme Emperor was honest in the palace, although he occupied the emperor's bedroom and had no intention of moving, but the newly married young couple really didn't care where they lived.

After the emperor took power, he put the important department of the household department in charge of his teacher.

The emperor's teacher, surnamed Kou, was an old man from a poor family. He was well-educated and thoughtful of the world.After becoming the Minister of the Household Department, he didn't mess around every day just because his student was the emperor.On the contrary, this old man is very diligent. The first thing he did when he took office was to read the official documents of the household department.

The Ministry of Households is a special place. First, it is in charge of the household registration of the world, and second, it is in charge of the world's money and food. There is no problem with the household registration, and the most common document is money.

In the past, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the officials of the household department would always cry about being poor. This year, the old man Kou would also cry about being poor.

The income of the household department is nothing more than money, grain and commercial taxes. In the years when the weather is good and the weather is good, the people pay the imperial grain commercial tax after planting the land, which is about 2000 million taels of silver every year.Now that there is no money, the old man Kou checked the accounts and found that the family that embezzled the most money from the treasury was Cui.

It is only natural that Lao Tzu owed his son to pay back the money. With this in mind, old man Kou entered the palace with the account book under his arm.

"You tell me again, how much silver do you owe? 6000 million!!!"

The old man Kou looked at his students with some pity, but quickly put away his pity eyes, and explained the ins and outs of these accounts in a businesslike manner, to the effect that "Your grandfather and father owe money, two generations of emperors It has been embezzled for 50 years, adding up to more than 6000 million taels of silver."

The emperor said in his heart that my father is still alive, if you have the ability, you can ask him for money, but asking me is nothing.

"Master Kou, the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't have any money. The queen complained to me yesterday, saying that there is no money for this year's Chinese New Year."

The old man Kou thought that he would be able to pay back the bill today, but he didn't expect that the emperor was too poor to get rid of the pot, and the old man's face suddenly turned pale. "What can we do? If there is no money to pay the officials, if this group of people has nothing to eat, they will definitely take away the fat of the people. This is a small matter, but the big thing is how to relieve disasters without money? How to build the city wall? How to build official roads? How to pay the army , how to raise food and grass?"

How did the old man come down in a series? The emperor was crumbling.I had no money when I seized the country, but I didn't expect to have no money after sitting in the country!

So at night, the emperor sat opposite Linlin with a sullen face, and sighed, "If things go on like this, something big will happen to the court. I don't know what the situation will be next year. If the taxes are increased, the people will be overwhelmed. In the event of a natural disaster, when the time comes..."

Linlin was not in the mood to listen to him talking over there, she turned around and took out the abacus behind her, put it on the kang table between the two of them, and began to fiddle with it.

The emperor got angry when he saw it, "What are you doing? You don't even know how to be virtuous. You didn't see that my worrying hair was about to fall out in a while. Don't talk about letting you share your worries. At least you don't make trouble on the sidelines."

"I'm just sharing your worries. There's still half a month before the Chinese New Year. At this time, doing business will definitely make a lot of money. Let's make money from this year's Chinese New Year first. When the spring starts next year, I'll make a big one. Yes. I will invest the money in your private treasury for you, and you will have pocket money when you earn it."

When the emperor heard this, he quickly lay down on Linlin's side, "Do you have a solution?"

"What can I do? I can only use my dowry as capital to start a business. As for the money our family owes to the national treasury...we will pay it off every year. At this time, I have to make a family rule. When your beauties come to you to cry, you will feel that I have treated them badly."

"Say what you say, I'm listening here."

"I married you, take care of the housework for you, honor the elderly, and raise children. This is what I should do. Whether I was born or not, I can't ignore them after calling me a mother. This is my job. Of course. Yes, it is also your duty to honor the elderly and raise children.

But seeing that our family now has much less income and expenditure, in order to increase income and reduce expenditure, the elderly can’t be wronged, and the children can’t be wronged either. Besides, our children’s future marriages don’t even try to make do, the girls have to give them a generous amount. A thick dowry, the sons have to give them a mansion, and the building must be beautifully built inside, and the furniture and accessories must be arranged before they can be separated.Which one of these do you think does not cost money? "

"That's right, that's true."

"It's so difficult to raise a child. There is no difference between being filial to the elderly and animals, so we have to be wronged. I'm fine. Anyway, when I married in, my natal family gave me a dowry, but according to our current rules, I This dowry will be given to my children if the dowry is not exhausted.

So I will not spend my dowry to support your women. No matter how many concubines you have in the future, they will have more than theirs. If they want more, rely on your love, and they will be here. Work, imitate the extravagant concubine next door... It will be deducted from your share, and after the deduction is over, it will be deducted from your dividends. "

"...I listen to you, listen to what you mean, is that you can revive this mess?"

Linlin smiled and said nothing.
