Bai Yixiu turned his eyes when he heard this. "You also said it was borrowed, borrowed and returned. Why not return it? Although the service is the supreme emperor, the current emperor doesn't recognize it! He can't ask the supreme emperor for money, but he can ask you for money!
Rongning's two houses add up to 1 million Liang. Together with other honourable officials and power ministers, they lend a total of 32 million liang of silver, which is equivalent to one and a half years of tax revenue.
The emperor looked at so many IOUs, thought that the Treasury was empty, and then thought that the Treasury of these ministers Xun GUI's family was full. No one was happy! In the past, the supreme emperor might be embarrassed to ask for it for the sake of that year. Now the emperor doesn't have much affection with you, and he doesn't care about that! "
Jia Jing thought carefully when he heard this, "do you mean to let our rongning second house take the initiative to repay the money in advance? But in this way, our rongning second house will become a leading bird between Xun and GUI!"
Bai Yixiu shook his head. "It's better to be a head bird than a dead bird! In addition, as far as I know, Jia Zhen hasn't really succeeded in Qin Keqing. If you go back and take care of it now, you may be able to turn it around. As long as you handle it properly and hand in the money, you can make meritorious contributions. The merits and demerits are equal to those of Ningguo mansion. Naturally, it's all right.
As for Mrs. Wang in the second room of Rongguo mansion, she not only borrows usury, but also takes charge of litigation. All of them are the charges of copying the family and going to prison. I found brother Jah before I came here, and I will prepare the silver and hand it in to the household department in the future! Brother Jia Jing, are you really reluctant to give up the silver? "
Jia Jing sighed and said with a wry smile, "life is gone. What's the use of asking for silver! Lin Hai, I know your kindness. I'll go back to the city with you tomorrow morning. I'll immediately let Jia Rong take his daughter-in-law to Songshan Academy. As for Jia Zhen, I'll stay in the house. I'll watch it myself! Whenever he makes mistakes, I'll beat him to death! I can't let him do wrong and affect the whole Ningguo house!"
Bai Yixiu smiled in amazement and asked, "brother Jing, are you not a monk?"
Jia Jing shook his head. "Since I can't keep Ning Guofu as a monk, what's the point of my becoming a monk? Times have changed, your majesty has ascended the throne, and the throne is stable. The supreme emperor is still there, and I can still care about my father's rescue work. After returning the money, I bound my children and grandchildren. For the sake of past love, maybe the Jia family still has a glimmer of vitality."
Bai Yixiu nodded, smiled and said, "brother Jing, if you believe me, you will do whatever I do!"
Jia Jing smiled and praised, "Lin Hai, to tell you the truth, I knew you wouldn't live long when I learned that you went to Yangzhou to be the salt inspector in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, you are very capable. You can not only come back alive, but also stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's not easy. I finally understand why the second uncle wanted to be your son-in-law anyway. Min'er was the princess in those days, but the second uncle didn't agree. Today, it seems that the second uncle is looking for a way back for the Jia family! "
Bai Yixiu smiled bitterly, "Hey, don't hide it from elder brother. I was poisoned in Jiangnan and almost died."
"As you said, it's almost dead, not dead. As long as you don't die, it's victory." Jia Jing shrugged and looked at Bai Yixiu. "The Jia family has reached this point. If I continue to hide in the Taoist temple, I'll deceive myself and others. I'll go back with you tomorrow. Tonight, you'll spend the night in the Taoist temple."
