A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

The fourth elder brother was very surprised, no matter whether he was called to come here by Huang Ama, or what he saw.

He noticed the sour eyes of the third elder brother next to him.

The fourth elder brother saw it and passed by calmly.

He knew what he was complaining about, the Lin family was his side Fujin's natal family, or the marriage that Huang Ama had decreed for them.

This kind of credit is no different than others. The merit will last for thousands of years, and it will be famous in history.

This is of course also beneficial to him.

When he saw Huang Ama also picked up the sickle and went down to the ground, the fourth elder brother also went down to the ground skillfully, which was no stranger to him.

He carefully compared the difference between the wheat here and ordinary wheat.

The height is about the same, but the wheat leaves here are wider, and the roots look thicker, and the most important thing is the wheat ears.

It is heavy, and the people who see it are not consciously happy.

The fourth elder brother made a rough estimate. The wheat harvest here is [-] to [-]% higher than the average wheat harvest. Some of them are outstanding, so he specially took them out individually.

Compared with ordinary wheat, this has twice as many ears of wheat!

However, such a quantity is really small. The entire Zhuangzi's wheat has been harvested, and only twelve plants have been collected.

Looking at it this way, the number is quite a lot, and this Zhuangzi is actually not that big.

After the harvest was over, the wheat was dried in the sun, and when it was weighed, it verified his previous estimation.

The fourth elder brother also has a farm near here, and the yield per mu here is [-]% higher than the wheat on his farm.

He personally took care of the cultivation of his farm, which was different from the simple and rough management of other people's servants, and the annual harvest was no worse than that of the people's intensive cultivation.

This made the fourth elder brother also shocked.

What does this represent?

It represents the same land that can fill more people's stomachs.

Is it because of the seeds, or is it because of the soil quality here?

The seeds have undoubtedly been carefully selected over the years and cultivated using special methods.

The land here is not so fertile or blessed.

In addition, he had read the booklet, which described in detail how to fertilize and kill insects.

The fertilizer applied was piled up with some common things, such as fallen leaves, putrid mud, cow dung, pig manure, chicken manure, etc. piled together.

The fourth elder brother is also very interested in this. If it can be promoted, it will not only benefit the people who grow wheat.

The third elder brother is also very interested in this, and the credit is obvious. The third elder brother looked at Huang Ama with earnest eyes. Huang Ama, look at my son, I am willing to help!

Then he listened disappointedly to Huang Ama calling out the fourth brother's name.

Third Elder Brother: "..."

The fourth elder brother solemnly agreed: "My son takes orders."

As for the strong sour taste on the third brother's side, just ignore it.

The fourth elder brother was in charge of this matter, and with his usual serious attitude, naturally everything was fine-tuned. Yun Shuyao was only glad that she had made a lot of preparations in advance to be on the safe side, so it was luck to say that she had researched a good breed. But with so many years of background, it can't be said that she has a problem.

The incident was not made public.

To be on the safe side, all the harvested wheat has become seeds, that is, the scattered wheat that falls in the field, has been carefully sieved several times, and then they will take root and germinate on the farm.

If it is feasible to follow the method in Yun Shuyao's brochure, increase the test sites every year, and wait for several consecutive years to confirm that there is no problem, then it will be widely promoted.

What Yun Shuyao has to do is to cooperate with the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother's attitude is very respectful: "Mrs. Yun, I'm sorry."

Yun Shuyao was still down-to-earth, she was agitated by the emperor for a while, but now she has calmed down: "Your Highness is very polite, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything."

The fourth elder brother nodded, watching her heart move.

It seems that it is not accidental that Huiyan discovered sea salt, purification and low-alcohol wine purification before.

For so many years, no achievements have been made, and the study of fine seeds is still not given up. The initial results can still be stabilized without showing merit. Only those with great perseverance can do it.

She is still studying rice now, if she can achieve results... The fourth elder brother's attitude is more kind: "If Madam needs anything, just ask the servants."

Yun Shuyao: "Thank you, my lord."

Recently, it is not convenient for her to use supernatural powers to give birth, so she sent all the supernatural powers to the spirit mirror to make it more full and recover as soon as possible.

After this period is over, the fourth elder brother goes back to do other things, so he doesn't have to be so careful, this is not something that can be done overnight.

But at that time, Yun Shuyao believes that even if there is no such thing on the surface, there will definitely be people from the royal family watching her secretly, and she must be more cautious when doing things.

The fourth elder brother is very busy during this time, except for the Zhuangzi in the outskirts of the capital, he takes over all the Zhuangzi with good seeds in other places and sends people to follow up.

This is the only serious errand on his body right now. When he is almost done, I don’t know if it’s because he’s free, or because of the drought in a certain place, the state treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief, which makes the emperor dissatisfied. All the princes were summoned to ask who would like to collect the owed money.

He had loose hands before and borrowed a lot of money, whether it was from the royal family or ministers.

No one urged them before, and no one paid them back. Some of them would borrow money again when something happened. Some of them had to borrow money from the imperial court because it was really difficult to live in the capital. Earning money, I didn’t want to miss it, so I went to borrow money too. No one mentioned it for such a long time, and many people would forget about it.

Undoubtedly, collecting arrears of money is an errand that offends people. They still want to fight for the throne. This collection of arrears of money will offend people. How can they win the support of these ministers and royal family and nobles?

So after Kangxi's question, there was silence, only the fourth elder brother stood up.

"My son takes orders!"

Kangxi glanced at the other sons with heavy eyes, "Fourth, I'll leave this to you."

He focused on Lao Ba, he originally wanted to leave this matter to Lao Ba.

Pity.

Although the fourth elder brother took over the errand, he also asked for a helper, and then the thirteenth elder brother who had been sitting on the bench for a long time finally got another errand.

Although it was an errand that offended others, he was almost forgotten by everyone before. Now Huang Ama finally agreed with him to assist the fourth brother on the errand, of course he must seize this opportunity.

Facing the two princes who owed money, all the people in the capital who owed money did not dare not to know, waiting to see their actions one by one.

The emperor had spoken out several times before, but no one took it up. This money is not a small amount. Once it is repaid, it will be a nerve-wracking one. If you can't repay it, of course you won't.

But now... the situation is not so good. The fourth elder brother is not a person who will be careless. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the fourth elder brother did not disappoint. He first took his own brother for surgery, and took the lead in boarding the third elder brother's mansion .

The princes are also one of the borrowers.

They also know that this time [-]% of them will not be able to escape. If you don’t pay back the money, you can directly register with the old man, but you can’t take out the money in one go. There is so much money, why do you borrow money, and why don't you pay it back?

The third elder brother took out one-third, and cried loudly: "Fourth brother, I really have no money for your third brother, the rest... just give me some more time, I'm almost done. return."

Brother San is not purely selling poverty, it is really poor.

Although he also has the filial piety of a disciple, the expenses are not low, the exchange of favors, and the birthday gifts of Huang Ama and others, these are not small sums, and what he has given out now is almost [-]% of his family's cash.

If there is any unexpected situation, he will ask Fujin to borrow money.

The fourth elder brother didn't think it was too little, counted the amount, and knew it in his heart, "Third brother, I understand." Then he went to the fifth elder brother to collect the money one by one.

Every time a sum of money is received, the household department will sign for it, and then issue a note to confirm how much has been received and how much is still owed.

The other people in the capital saw it, and even the prince paid back the money. Are you embarrassed to not pay the others?

Some really didn’t want to pay it back, for example, to some royal relatives, the fourth elder brother was also a junior to them, they relied on their elders to sell their elders, crying that they were poor and had no money to pay back the money, could the fourth elder brother still grab it back from their mansion?

Robbery is of course not acceptable, but as long as they want to go out, they must pay back the money.

There is a special team watching them, didn't you say you have no money?

How dare you eat hundreds of taels of silver for a meal?

Still going to Hualou?

Still go to buy antiques, spend a lot of money?

This is the crime of bullying the king!

The red-faced royal relatives who were blocked: "..."

Among them, there are people from the Tong family.

It was the family of the fourth elder brother's adoptive mother, who was very powerful, but he still didn't give face. Suddenly, his reputation of "iron face and selflessness" was once again spread in the capital. All of a sudden, there were a lot of dramas in the capital that "the seller should pay back the money", and some went directly to the emperor to cry, but Kangxi also avoided it at this time.

The fourth elder brother knew that he was offending people, but someone had to do some things, and if the treasury was not empty, Huang Ama would not ask everyone to pay back the money.

To some extent, this was slapping Huang Ama in the face.

Even asking everyone to pay back the money now, the attitude is actually very loose. As long as they pay back part of the money, Huang Ama will not continue to pursue it.

If he can completely make the decision... Thinking of the disaster victims over there, some people here are golden mountains and silver seas, and some people who have spent a lot of money on some playthings, but have been crying for poverty and refuse to pay back the money, Yinzhen secretly tightened the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist .

A small leak will sink a great ship.

He will continue to endure.

The Lin family also owed money, but the amount was not much. At that time, everyone borrowed money. If they didn't borrow money, it would be a different kind of thing. Now that they want to pay back the money, and someone has already started it, Lin Ruhai quietly sent The person went to return the borrowed 5000 taels of silver, and took the IOU back and destroyed it.

The money they borrowed was not much, and it was easy to repay it. However, some people borrowed a lot of money. Looking at the situation, they wanted to pay it back, but where did the money come from?

When Jia Lian first heard about this matter from his friends, it seemed that it was nothing to do with him, and he seemed to be hanging on high, but who knew when he went back, he asked, "My lord, the court is now collecting the money owed. Is there any money owed by our family?"

Jia She raised his head in a daze, hiccupped, reeking of alcohol, he shook his head to keep himself awake, "...I remember."

Jia Lian was agitated at the time, "How much does our family owe?"

Jia Amnesty didn't know either: "Go and find the IOU. I remember something like this. My father borrowed it."

He didn't handle it, and he heard about the IOU once.

Jia Lian: "Where is the IOU?"

Jia Amnesty: "The warehouse, you can look for it, it's in a small box."

Wang Xifeng listened, tried hard to hold her face, her heart was pounding.

She has almost replaced these warehouses. At first glance, the things in them are still there, but she has picked out most of the valuable ones. It was really there... It was said that there was a plague of rats, the warehouse was neglected, the loss was heavy, and the IOU was gnawed!

The Second Mrs. Wang was also disturbed by the matter of owed money, she really didn't know there was such a thing.

How can the money given by the emperor be returned?

He is rich all over the world, and his courtiers are not rich enough to borrow some money. After such a long time, he still has to send his son to take it back. The emperor is too stingy!

The Second Mrs. Wang slandered in her heart, and she didn't dare to take it seriously. The fourth elder brother didn't even give face to his own brother, and didn't even give face to his uncle. The Jia family's face... shouldn't be that big.

Afterwards, I searched the warehouse up and down, but I couldn't find the IOU, but there was another place, and that was the Ministry of Accounts.

Jia Lian took the famous post to check, and after this check, his face turned pale with shock. Their family owed more than 70 taels of silver? !

The Ningguo Mansion next door has 10 taels more than theirs. How could they have borrowed so much money? !

How can this be paid off?

Jia Lian went home weak-footed, and said that no one could sit still, "The handwriting belongs to grandfather."

He confirmed it, it was grandfather's handwriting.

After hearing this, Jia's mother wanted to talk. She knew the money, but it wasn't just borrowed from their family. !

They shouldn't pay it back!

But no matter how anxious she was, she was sweating profusely, and she couldn't speak.

Jia She made the decision: "Open the warehouse! The fourth elder brother collects the owed money. If our family doesn't pay back any money, it will be over!"

Jia Zheng agreed very much: "Our family has a big business, and the total amount is a bit larger. We will not fail to make up [-]%."

Second Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng: "..."

They couldn't be more clear about how many things were left in the warehouse, and it was too much to make up tens of thousands of taels!

Second Mrs. Wang tightened her handkerchief: "I'll let someone send a message to Yuan Chun first, and ask her to intercede with the emperor."

Yuan Chun gave birth to a young son, and the emperor still dotes on her very much.It would be even better if this debt could be avoided!

If it is unavoidable, please ask your relatives and friends to help, and each family will get together, and it will be almost the same.
