The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Unexpectedly, I went to the Jiubeile Mansion in the morning of the [-]th. I didn't even eat lunch at noon, and came to the household department with money in the afternoon.

Jiuye is one of the big debtors, and it is not easy for him to pay back the money.

"I thought you had to come tomorrow!" Prince Yong looked at the carts pulling money one after another, and then at Jiu Ye who was a little worried: "Old Jiu is not bad."

Master Jiu's eyes widened. Fourth brother... No, he often saw fourth brother scolding others with a straight face, but he never thought that fourth brother would even praise him.

He thought that in his life, it would be impossible for the fourth brother to look him in the eye.

"Okay, let's order some money, brother, for your errand to be carried out smoothly, Brother Ninth has to sell everything!" Master Fourteen deliberately exaggerated: "Brother, you have to give the IOU to Brother Nine."

"Understood." Many of Fourth Master's subordinates counted the money, put the money into the warehouse, and gave the IOU to Jiuye, so there was nothing for Jiuye on the accounts owed by the household department.

At present, the accounts of the account department are frozen, no loans are made, and only the outstanding money is collected.

Many people are actually a little ready to move, because a few princes and elder brothers took the lead in repaying the money.

As a result, as soon as Master Jiu finished counting the silver, Master Ten came in person, and he didn't need Fourteen to urge him, he took the silver to pay back the money by himself.

"In the past two days, I tidied up the warehouse and ordered some cash. Just in time, fourth brother, you can also give me my IOU!" Master Shi was delighted.

"Okay, let someone order the money, and I'll find you an IOU. What do you think you borrowed the money for? Just to set up a stage?" The fourth master rarely babbled: "Now that the real money is returned, why bother?" !"

"Don't tell me, fourth brother, the theater stage is actually quite well built. In the past few years, I have also raised two theater troupes in my house. It is quite interesting to sing a song or two every day. Fujin also Love to watch." Shi Ye rubbed his nose: "Well, if fourth brother wants to listen to an opera, he can come to my brother's house, the stage at my brother's house is really good."

"I don't like to listen to operas. Your sister-in-law likes to listen to them. Let her take the children there another day." Prince Yong was still so unreasonable, but it was already very good to let his wife and children go to the opera.

Master Shi didn't force anything, he paid back the money, and made an appointment with Shisi to eat roasted whole lamb tomorrow, and then went back.

After the ninth master finished repaying the money, he didn't have any working capital, but the fourteenth master had someone bring him 10 taels of cash during dinner: "You use these as working capital first, and the rest are for you to pay." Tell me what’s missing, I’m here to help you tide over the difficulties.”

"Where did you get so much real gold and silver?" Master Jiu was extremely envious. If he had so much gold and silver treasures, what business would he do?

"I prepared for it several years in advance." The Fourteenth Master said, "Just for this day."

If he doesn't prepare in advance, how can he make his brother's errands run smoothly?

Master Jiu drank some wine and held out his thumb: "Brother, I admire you. Look at your kindness. My own brother didn't pay any attention to me. You should go to him and pay back the money with him. There are still seven Brother, to be honest, Seventh Brother had some difficulties in the early years, so he borrowed money to live. Later, you gave him the share and dividends, so he lived so well. Fourteenth, brother just admires you One point, you, benevolence and righteousness are in your heart, not in your mouth."

When he said that, the fourteenth master was very happy.

Because the one who talks about benevolence and righteousness is Ba Ye, Ba Ye can't take care of himself now, Jiu Ye almost gave him half of his worth for Ba Ye, but at this time, Ba Ye didn't even ask Jiu Ye. Not even a word.

It's probably because Master Shi has been indifferent to Master Ba very early on.

So Ba Ye was also very disappointed with Shi Ye, he didn't even think about what would happen to Shi Ye. Back then, Shi Ye also supported Ba Ye, and he didn't give Ba Ye less money.

Ba Ye's mother's family is not prominent, and there is limited help for him, Concubine Liang's life in the palace is not very good, so she can't help Ba Ye much.

Master Ba was able to start a family, thanks to the selfless help of Master Jiu and Master Shi, they were able to succeed at the very beginning.

It's a pity that later, the brothers disagreed, and now they are even strangers.

"Ninth brother, don't say that, brother, I have no other skills, but my ability to make money is pretty good. Now we brothers are twisted together, we can't tear down Huang Ama, we have to give fourth brother face." Fourteen The master said: "We brothers will live a good life in the future, even if Huang Ama lives long, then we have done nothing wrong."

"Brother, that's what I admire about you." Master Jiu drank a big cup: "Come on, brother respects you!"

The Fourteenth Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, even if his own brother ascended the throne, he would not do anything to Brother Nine and Brother Ten.

At least, it won't be like in history, where both sides want the other to die.

In fact, in history, the end of Master Jiu and Master Ten was really miserable, and Master Eight was even worse.

After dinner at Master Jiu's house, Master Fourteen went back. Nian Gengyao was waiting for him at home, saying that he had something to discuss, but only a few people knew what the two of them did.

The next day, Fourteen rested at home for a day. He ran too hard these days.

I also want to give myself a vacation.

As a result, the twelve princes came to the door by themselves.

The eleventh prince didn't stand still. After the tenth prince, King Dunjun, there was the twelfth prince, the twelve Lord Baylor.

"How much is owed to the Ministry of Households?" Fourteen saw Twelve Baylor and knew why he came: "How much is there?"

"It's still 8 taels of silver." Twelve Baylor scratched his head: "My brother can't help it."

"Why do you owe so much?" Master Fourteen was very surprised.

Twelve Baylor said not too loudly: "My brother took care of the family. You know about my mother-in-law. It's useless. Take care of my mother and my brother's family."

Ding concubine Wanliu Ha's family background is not high.

Wanliu Hashi was selected as a palace lady in the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is said that she entered the palace as a court lady on the same day as the concubine Wu Ya.

Before Twelve Baylor was born, Wanliu Hashi was always a concubine. Later, when Twelve Baylor grew up, he changed his treatment from concubine to concubine. Later, he became a Ding concubine, and Twelve Baylor also became a concubine. The mother and son are in the palace, and to be honest, they are neither up nor down.

If there is no money to support it, life will be really difficult.

Therefore, the cost of Twelve Baylor is relatively high.

"The shares and dividends I gave you are not enough?" Fourteenth Master frowned.

"It's enough now, but it wasn't enough before..." Twelve Baylor didn't have any confidence.

"Okay, let's go, let's pay back the money, take out all the silver that your family can get out, and you will be at ease after paying back the money. I will give you another 5000 taels of silver for household use, and I will share it next time." Fourteenth Master Arranged: "After March, it will be divided, and my sister-in-law's dividend is also quite a lot."

"Well, my brother listens to you." Twelve Baylor is very obedient, he has more confidence than anyone else, his mother is just a concubine, not to mention, her mother's family is still in decline, and he is relied on for promotion.

Simply because he has a good personality, and Aunt Su Mala takes care of him a little bit, that's why he doesn't lose sight of everyone.

The Fourteenth Master accompanied the Twelfth Master to the household department, paid back the money and took back the IOU. Thirteen joked, "I've finished paying it here, but you don't have an IOU. You still want to pull out the ten 56 and seventeen ?”

"How much do Fifteen and Sixteen owe?" Master Fourteen really doesn't know how much these two younger brothers owe.

"One is 10 taels, and the other is 8 taels." Thirteen said, "They should be able to return it."

"I'm afraid there will be no money after I pay it back." The Fourteenth Master said: "I'll go and see, if there is no money after I pay back the money, I will temporarily borrow some money from my family and deduct it from their share."

As for the Eighteenth Prince?

He is only 15 years old, two years away from getting married, and he has no place to spend money at all.

In addition, he has been with Fourteen for a long time, so don't save too much money.

The nineteenth prince was even younger, the twenty-first prince went to study in the Shang study, and the twenty-first prince was just able to run and dance.

"Okay, you go." Thirteen Baylor counted the money and went directly to the warehouse.

On the second day of the fourteenth, he really ran to the palace again, and met the fifteenth and sixteenth princes, who were a bit battered now.

"We borrowed a little money, but we didn't expect that much." Both of them were a little slumped.

"Did someone take advantage of the loophole?" Fourteenth Master could only think so.

"No... it's our mother's family...the expenses are relatively high." Although the two princes and elder brothers are both sons, they still don't have the confidence to mention their mother's family.

Isn't that right, Wang Bin's natal family is not as good as it used to be.

Wang Pin's father has passed away, and the tallest elder brother in the family is only a Juren, and the two younger brothers are scholars.

Even the official status is gone. If Wang Pin had not given birth to three princes and elder brothers, the old Wang family would have been trampled into the mud long ago.

The three princes and elder brothers don't have that ability, so they can only give some support in money to find an errand for their uncle.

The people of the Wang family are greedy, they want 500 taels today, and 1000 taels tomorrow, and both the [-]th and [-]th beauties have left the palace to build a mansion.

The Wang family always comes, and the two of them just...

"Why didn't you tell me?" Master Fourteen frowned.

"How do you say that?" Fifteen Beizi lowered his head, "They are Er Niang's relatives after all."

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you two don't worry about it from now on." Fourteenth Master said: "Go, take the money at home, and the seals of both of you, and follow me to the household department."

The two obediently went to get the silver and the seal, and followed Shisi to the household department. How much silver can the two of them have?

Fourteen paid more than half of it, and the two got back the IOU. Only then did Fourteen find out that the Wang family had taken a lot of money from the two.

Later, he told Nian Gengyao about it.

"What do you want to do?" Nian Gengyao stroked his head and pressed his temples.

"I want to settle it once and for all." The fourteenth master pursed his lips: "Fifteen and sixteen are good boys, and eighteen is even better. They should not be entangled by the Wang family."

"It's easy to handle." Nian Gengyao said: "I guarantee that they will not show up in the capital in the future."

Fourteenth Master handed over the matter to Nian Gengyao with confidence.

Nian Gengyao also has a way. He recruited all the males of the Wang family into the Northwest Army!

The whole family moved to Qinghai in the northwest. No matter how good the weather was, the whole family moved away by force. Nian Gengyao explained how to arrange after arriving in the northwest.

Anyway, I settled down in Kangding, not to mention going back to the capital, even writing a letter to Beijing is difficult.

When moving, Nian Gengyao told Fourteenth Master: "It's not that the Wang family has no money, they just spent their money in some crooked places, trying to find an official, but no one paid any attention to them."

"Then let them stay in the northwest!" Fourteen pursed his lips: "Today we are going to eat spring rolls, and I asked someone to make spring rolls with vegetarian fillings."

Tomb-sweeping Day is here, and the Fourteenth Master asked his family to make spring rolls. They are not the kind filled with bean paste, but thin pancakes wrapped with shredded carrots, cabbage and radish. After deep-fried, take them out and eat them. It's like ringing a bell.

The Fourteenth Master was busy, and Nian Gengyao was also busy, because many people in the army borrowed money from the household department. There were many reasons, but few people paid it back now.

There were not many people in Nian Gengyao's own group, but there were not many people who didn't return it.

"Why don't you pay back the money you owe?" Nian Gengyao asked with a straight face an old subordinate who was kneeling in the tent and dared not get up.

"The family doesn't have that much money." The old subordinate knelt down obediently, bowed his head and said, "The military salary is not much."

"If you live on military salary, I will be a god who sucks the wind and drinks the dew!" Nian Gengyao didn't care about that: "The first four concubines in your family, two are girls from merchant families, and two are you in the flower shop. The oiran bought in the building, you can spend a lot of money for a woman, let you pay back the 3 taels of silver owed to the household department, you push me against you?"

"That's not it. It was fun to spend it at the time. Now the family only has 2 taels of silver, and there are 5000 taels for the elderly. In case something happens, the family will not have no money to manage." The old subordinate is also a failure Those who count, the spoils of war, the rewards for military exploits are quite a lot, but they didn't save money.

"Take out the 2 taels of silver at home, and I will lend you 1 taels to make up for the money owed by the household department. I will deduct it from your trophies in the future, or reward it for military exploits." Nian Gengyao said mercilessly : "You can figure out what to do in your family. Why do you have nothing to do with a concubine? Is your wife not beautiful or you have no son? The cost is so high that a few women will make you dizzy."

He scolded the old subordinate.

Because he knew that the first wife of this old subordinate was a very nice woman, but this old subordinate was a bit lecherous. After the first wife gave birth to the eldest son and second son, he started to seek flowers and ask willows outside, and took a concubine after he had some money. .

Those little goblins coaxed him with a few nice words, and he gave money to the concubine's room.

Just because the wife of the first wife is silent doesn't mean she doesn't know how rich the family is.

When he spends money, he is chic, but his first wife is not happy. She lives with her own dowry, and the concubines in the family search for him. His wife is divorced from him, and his children look down on this concubine. daddy.

The common people went home in panic and took the money, but Nian Gengyao pressured them to pay back the money. Later, Nian Gengyao deducted nearly 20 years of his salary.

When other people saw it, they immediately took the initiative to go to the household department to pay back the money, and the family borrowed money if they had no money. In fact, few families actually borrowed money.
