Jia Qiang hurriedly waved her hands and said, "The Moon Shadow Lantern is for you. How can you give away your things? There is no need to do that. Although the gift I prepared is far less valuable than the Moon Shadow Lantern, it is also useful for her medical skills. It’s rare. Besides, I still have serious business to discuss with my husband.”

Lin Ruhai wondered, "What else?"

Jia Qiang looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "Sir, the Bingmasi Yamen is currently cleaning the East City, and I plan to collect a certain amount of money for sanitation and fire control from each merchant in the East City on a monthly basis. It can be regarded as another kind of business tax. "

Hearing the word "business tax", Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, looked at Jia Qiang and said softly, "Is it too early?"

Although the Supreme Emperor has passed away, the power of the court is still in the hands of Jingchu's old ministers.

It is impossible for Han Bin, Li Han and other famous ministers who left Beijing to return to Beijing for a while.

Doing too much at this time is afraid that it will cause a violent rebound.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "So it's not called commercial tax, but money for sanitation and fire ban. That's okay, let's do a preliminary test."

Lin Ruhai heard the words, pondered for a while and said: "You can also try, you can do it first."

Seeing Jia Qiang happy again, Daiyu gave him another look, not wanting Lin Ruhai to ask suddenly: "Qiang'er, but you don't have any money?"

Jia Qiang: "..."

……

PS: There should be another update in the evening, just groaning about Master's League, 666!

------------

Chapter 5 and Seven Bad Words (Third update!)

Hearing Lin Ruhai's sudden question, Jia Qiang stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

Daiyu looked at him suspiciously. In her impression, Jia Qiang seemed to be busy making money all the time, how could there be money?

Aunt Mei said with a strange expression: "Could it be that you really have no money, so you send a cheaper gift to Yin's family?"

Jia Qiang looked at Aunt Mei speechlessly, and said, "Where did Aunt Mei want to go? No matter what, she wouldn't make it to this point. It's just..."

He looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "After the death of the Supreme Emperor, Wanxianglou's business has plummeted, and we have to continue to support wages and so on. In addition, the guild hall has also stopped, and the barbecue stalls set up by the Jinsha Gang have also stopped. Well, the Xiqu club has also been suspended, so the expenditure during this period is indeed very high. But it’s nothing, I will find a way.”

When Daiyu heard this, she became worried.

Lin Ruhai smiled and asked, "What do you think? Could it be possible to turn stone into gold?"

Jia Qiang hesitated for a while, and said: "I plan to go to the Yin family, and have a word with the girl of the Yin family. First, I will use some of the family property of the Duke's mansion, and then make up for it later. Although I promised at the beginning, the family property left by the Duke's mansion, They are all owned by the Dafang. But I am also the owner of the Dafang, so there is no reason why I can’t use the Dafang’s property?"

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu couldn't help but snorted.

Naturally, it wasn't because Jia Qiang put all the family property of the Duke's Mansion under the name of Dafang, but because he was annoyed that he was short of money and would rather talk to Yin Ziyu than her.

Jia Qiang smiled apologetically and said, "It's just a turnaround. After the national funeral, when the money is in hand, I'll just return it. Besides, it's also my thing, isn't it?"

Daiyu was still angry and ignored him.

Lin Ruhai stood by her daughter this time, and said to Jia Qiang: "Accordingly, what you said is reasonable. If the girl from Yin's family is only her and the relationship is simple, there is nothing wrong with you doing this. But, Qiang'er You have to understand that the relationship behind her is too complicated. The Yin family is going to be of great use when they see it. His family didn't show up before, but now the emperor is short of people, and the Yin family is regarded by the emperor as reliable and available people. Yin Chu, Yin There are also several adult sons of the Yin family in the court, all of whom are rare talents. After working hard for so long, after two or three years, they are bound to ascend to the throne one after another. Although there are empresses, they may not be able to hold them for a long time. At this time, what you are going to do can't be simply regarded as a family matter. Besides, you have promised others that Dafang's family property will be handled by Dafang in the future. Isn't it a breach of trust when something happens at this time?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she frowned and thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "Mr. is right, but I really... didn't expect it. Forget it, I'll think of other ways. The matter of money is not a problem for me. "

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't go outside to ask for help, just take it from home..."

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Sir, there is no need to be like this..."

"Humph!"

Daiyu snorted again, and turned her head away from him.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly, but he still waved his hands to Jia Qiang and said, "You are not a pedantic person, what do you pay attention to? You don't use it to eat, drink and make trouble, but to do serious things. I have no children under my knees. Du Yuer is a beloved daughter, so in the future, the Lin family's business will belong to you?"

Jia Qiang smiled, and said: "Don't worry, sir. In the future, heirs will be born. The eldest son's surname is Jia, and the second son's surname is Lin. It was my agreement with Sister Lin. So, you don't have to worry about the family fortune of the Lin family for several lifetimes. people inherit."

This was the first time Jia Qiang said this to Lin Ruhai.

In this world where for thousands of years, "unfilial piety has three things and no descendants are the greatest", how can Jia Qiang's actions not make Lin Ruhai feel gratified?

At the beginning, he could recognize Jia Qiang and Daiyu, except that Jia Qiang was really good to Daiyu, he also heard that Jia Qiang promised a concubine...

If Lin Ruhai wasn't moved, how could it be possible?

Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even Aunt Mei was very pleasantly surprised. Looking at Jia Qiang, she smiled and said, "It's not in vain that Master loves you so much! What a good boy!"

Daiyu was no longer annoyed, and cast a shy glance at Jia Qiang, too shy to raise her head.

Bah Bah!

Lin Ruhai was naturally smiling, but...

"The old lady, I'm afraid you may not agree?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "I agree to this matter, and no one else can control it. Besides, it's not a son..."

"Bah! Are you ashamed or not?"

Daiyu couldn't take it anymore, she spat with disgust on her pretty face.

Jia Qiang is not ashamed, but proud, and she is very happy.

Aunt Mei also teased, "I'm so shameless!"

Lin Ruhai ignored these, he said: "That's the case, if you are short of money, you should take it from home. The money at home is placed there, and there is no chance of using it. What are you doing there for nothing? But , don’t be too anxious, too many stalls are too big, and you will be under great pressure.”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I understand."

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai asked Aunt Mei to fetch a pair of cards, and said, "Below 10 taels, you can just take it and withdraw it yourself, don't ask me. For more than 20 taels, say hello to me."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It's about 10 taels, it's enough to support the national funeral. At that time, there will be sufficient cash flow back."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said: "Withdraw 20 taels. Didn't you plan to use the Song family's 20 taels to make a living in a carriage? Now that the palace takes away 15 taels, there must be a gap. Since you decided There is a lot to do in this line of work, so there is no need to delay.”

Jia Qiang said with some embarrassment: "Sir, there is still the share of the Yin family..."

Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and said, "The Yin family... It doesn't hurt to make more friends."

……

Coming out of Zhonglin Hall, Jia Qiang first sent Daiyu back to Qingzhu Garden.

The two of them strolled along the Chaoshou verandah, stepping on the brilliance of the stars and the moon.

Daiyu asked softly, "Is Feng girl better?"
