The host of Quick Travel is too rebellious

Chapter 42 Clearance + Red Mansion dares to ask the sun and moon to change the sky 42

Thinking of the family property and title of Rongguo Mansion, the couple immediately became at odds.

Wang Xifeng's waist and legs no longer hurt immediately, so she thought about going back quickly to tidy up Rongguo Mansion.

"Grandma, grandma, don't bear the burden of shaving your head. Don't you know how much our ancestors favored Baoyu? How can we live better with the word "filial piety"? Do you remember the money I asked you to bring?" Jia Lian said hurriedly.

"Remember, I left enough money to run the shop. This year's income plus the cash in my dowry is 5 taels."

"You keep 5000 taels and buy the rest as property. Don't worry about the Rongguo Mansion for now. Are those minions a fuel-efficient lamp? Let's fix our own home first. Save some more for our sister and let the father-in-law pay for it. What can we do? Why don’t we all have to be supplemented by my mother? We are still young now, how can we not have a son in the future?” Jia Lian said. "If you can't buy it at Zhuangzi near the capital, you can buy it from other places."

Wang Xifeng is a quick-thinking person. Thinking of the emperor's southern tour these days, and the Zhen family picking him up, he wanted to make a fortune from it, even three to five hundred taels of silver would be good.

"Get along well with your sisters these days." Jia Lian asked.

Fusu Garden

Several people get together.

"Sister, during this emperor's southern tour, can dad be promoted to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?" Lin Tongyu said, holding her head.

"I don't know, but it's best not to. Our career is on the rise now." Ying Qingyan took a sip of ginseng tea.

"Sister, why are you thinking about helping your mother with the accounts recently? Aren't you not interested in this? And you don't care about how much your mother supports the Jia family? And you give them a lot of gifts?" Lin Qingyu was puzzled, but She knew that the boss must have a reason for doing what he did.

Ying Qingyan laughed, "You also know that my mother gives gifts to the Jia family during all seasons, right?"

"Of course I know, there has been no rest for twelve months this year." Lin Qingyu hummed. "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, give a glass lantern, on the second day of the second lunar month, give a gift of spring, on the Shangsi Festival, and on the Qingming Festival, give gold foil, silver foil and other items for worship... There are three festivals and two birthdays. Whoever celebrates a birthday or gives birth to a child must give a gift. , simply looking for a reason to give gifts to the Jia family. Just like that, the Jia family took the property of their orphan girl, and suppressed them everywhere, saying that every plant and tree came from the Jia family, and their girls were petty. This money is considered a loss. , and don’t give a single point to the Jia family!”

This damn thing is not the Lin family, it is clearly a bank owned by the Jia family.

Lin Qingyu held the gift list between two fingers and said disgustedly.

On the gift list, the gifts given by the Lin family to the Jia family were normal relatives.But it also came with a gift that Jia Min was said to have used her own dowry money to buy for everyone in her natal family.

But no one believed it when I said it. Whose wife had such a rich dowry and gave so many gifts to her parents’ family every month?Even the queen and her mother-in-law don’t reward her mother’s family that often!

This is a bank that treats the Lin family as the Jia family!

"Dad is in charge of the salt tax. You also know that this position is rich in oil and water, but in fact, it is much more than the limit you can think of. But this money is not just something you say you won't take. The salt merchant's filial piety As well as the management of various officials, not to mention you, I was shocked."

"Dad is the censor of the Salt Patrol. No matter what is behind his back, he is a pure minister of the emperor. So every time he collects something, he will give the emperor a list. It means that he has to take it."

"And the Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives, and they have the same master behind them. My mother sends gifts to her parents' house every four o'clock and eight o'clock in the morning, and she sends gifts to the Jia family every month. In their view, my father is giving gifts to the Jia family behind his back." The owner surrendered. And the people behind the scenes probably thought so too. Otherwise, who would tolerate a wife who goes to her parents' house all day long? This money can only be given by my father. Because my mother can't afford it!"

"And after I found out, I just let nature take its course, and sometimes even added some money. After all, the list of gifts from dad was there. We gave everything we should give. As for why there are less things, our Lin family is eight hundred feet away from the capital. "Where do you know where to go?" Ying Qingyan smiled miserably.

"Boss, you drink tea." The two of them said in a cowardly manner.

"Boss, where will the extra money for the Jia family come from?" Lin Tongyu asked.

"The Lin family has thousands of acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as a shop and Zhuangzi's fortune. I gave away part of the profits of the Zhuangzi and the shop, and the filial piety of the salt merchants and part of the salt merchants remained. After all, the situation in Jiangnan is complicated. How many people are eyeing this money bag? Rather than fattening the brains of those officials, I might as well use it directly."

"In the eyes of the Zhen family, my father surrendered to the masters of the Jia family by giving gifts to the Jia family, and the masters of the Jia family also thought so. In the eyes of Kangxi, my father was a pure minister. In the eyes of others, the Lin family was just taken advantage of. As for the This money is invisible when it comes and where it goes. Who among them dares to speak out? Who knows how much it is?" Ying Qingyan said.

"Given the extravagant style of the Jia family, they don't even scratch off the oil on their hands. It's weird to be able to show off after taking advantage!" Lin Qingyu said.

"That's right! Sister, how much does that part of filial piety cost?" Lin Tongyu asked curiously.

"30 taels." Ying Qingyan said calmly.

"30 taels of silver, what a big deal!" Lin Qingyu sighed.

"30 taels of gold!"

Snapped!The sound of tea cups falling to the ground.

"puff!"

"These salt merchants are so rich!"

"Sister, do you want to stay here and plunder these salt merchants? But if the money is withheld, what will the Tatar emperor do if he finds out?"

"My father was assigned here to take meat from the mouths of these salt merchants, no matter how much. The most important thing is to do better than the previous salt inspector. As long as the tax collected is more than the previous one, even if it is a few hundred thousand Two, in the eyes of the emperor, the last one was useless. Besides, can the salt tax of the past dynasties really be collected in full? I'm afraid not! And how many officials regard the salt tax as their own money bag? Those princes are no exception."

"I said I've got a lot more money recently, so how long will we stay here?" Lin Qingyu said.

"Five or six years!" Ying Qingyan said, "It depends on where the Tatar Emperor transfers my father."

The two of them flipped through their account books, "Boss, you are so ruthless. In addition to rare treasures, you also collected tens of thousands of taels of gold. As a result, the Jia family and the master behind them were dismissed by you for only 10 taels of silver a year."

"Although 10 taels of silver a year is a lot, it doesn't hurt our Lin family. After all, the Lin family's property is there. But it's not much compared to the salt tax." Lin Tongyu said, "But I still feel sorry for those 10 taels of silver a year." Ten thousand taels of silver, how many weapons can you use with 10 taels of silver? How much food and grass can you buy? What’s wrong with 10 taels of silver? It’s raising waste!”
