Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 703 Deja Vu
Rong Mansion is a big sieve, it can't hide any secrets at all.

Especially the old lady who is the core of the Rong Mansion, what she wants to do or what she said, if it is not deliberately kept secret, it will basically spread everywhere soon.

It's the same thing this time!
The news that the old lady was dissatisfied with Uncle Rong of the Ning Mansion spread throughout the servant circle in an instant, and then spread to the Ning Mansion. Qin Keqing was the first to hear about it.

To be honest, she was really speechless for the old lady of Dongfu.

It is enough to fight for power and profit.

With Qin Keqing's education, how could it be possible not to see what the old lady was thinking?
But the problem is, even if you can handle Uncle Rong, you still have to ask Uncle Rong to do something, which is very funny.

In other words, the talent fault of the Jia clan in the capital has reached a serious level.

Uncle Rong in the mansion is trying his best to train the children of the clan, even scholars and children.

Under such circumstances, there is really no need to fight for power.

In addition to showing your level of internal fighting, that is, the name of the patriarch is more pleasant, but the resources in the clan that can actually be called are those.

To be honest, the clearer she was about the situation of the Ningrong Second Mansion, the less worried Qin Keqing would be.

The Ningrong Second Mansion's fall was too rapid, and even their background began to be consumed.

Qin Keqing didn't know what was going on in the Rong Mansion.The situation in the Kening Mansion is already pretty bad.

As far as she knows, when Jia Zhen was the head of the family, money was spent like running water, and the income and consumption were completely out of proportion.

The most amazing thing is that Jia Zhen actually opened the old library!

What is Laoku?

That was established by the first generation of Ning Guogong as the last guarantee of the Ning Mansion.

The main thing in it is silver deposits. The first generation Ning Guogong saved several 10 taels of silver, and the second generation of Ningfu's head, Jia Daihua, also saved tens of thousands of taels of silver.

According to the account records, the old inventory of silver exceeds 150 million taels!
Not including other jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc., it can be said that the rich are very rich.

But after Qin Keqing entered the door, he cooperated with Mrs. Zhao to check the warehouse, only to find that the old warehouse had been opened, and the silver in it was missing a full 80 taels.

That was 80 taels of silver, definitely an astonishing figure.

At the same time, he counted the money in the company and found that there was obviously something wrong with the consumption in the past ten years, and the amount of money spent had reached 40 taels.

It's almost like a joke!
Needless to say, Mrs. Zhao and Qin Keqing understood something instantly, and their moods were heavy and depressed.

Fortunately, her husband, Jia Rong, doesn't care about it. The nudge shop in his hand, and the dividends he gets from setting up the polo league, are 10,000+ taels a year, and it gets higher every year.

Although this huge income did not go to the Ningfu Gongzhong, Jia Rong, who was the head of the Ningfu, did not ask for a penny from the Ningfu Gongzhong.

Just to maintain the operation of the Ningfu mansion, Gongzhong's income is enough, and there is still a lot of surplus.

"No matter what the master did with so much money, let's pretend we don't know!"

"Actually, I really don't know what the master has done, and I don't want to know!"

"In the future, if there is any surplus in the public bank, please slowly fill in the hole in Lao Ku, so that you can feel more at ease in your heart!"

After listening to her husband Jia Rong's orders, Qin Keqing's heart inexplicably calmed down.

Obviously, Jia Rong ignored certain things.

No matter how effective it is, Qin Keqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Gossip aside, Qin Keqing couldn't sit still after hearing the rumors from the Rong Mansion.

Regardless of whether she disagreed or not, she had to make it clear to Mrs. Zhao immediately, so as not to be affected by Chi Yu.

"Let the old lady over there make a fuss, I don't know what's the point?"

On Mrs. Zhao's side, she actually heard the news, and her reaction was similar to Qin Keqing's, and she didn't take it seriously.

"I'm afraid that the uncle will feel uncomfortable!"

Qin Keqing said that he was uneasy, and he was still very satisfied with her husband Jia Rong.

Not to mention how much you value yourself, at least you should have a lot of respect.

In addition, there is responsibility.

She married into the Ning Mansion, not without a mission.

In the end, her husband, Jia Rong, made it very clear that if you don't want to bother, then don't bother, and there is no need to worry about things outside.

In fact, he did as well.

With the Ning Mansion undergoing several rectifications, various access control rules have become more stringent. Although it cannot be said that water is intrusive, external connections have really been temporarily blocked.

Although it was only temporary, Qin Keqing was quite satisfied, and it could even be said that she was more than half at ease.

If you can block it once, you can naturally block it more times.

The point is that her husband Jia Rong's responsibility and ability to act is what makes Qin Keqing most at ease.

In addition, she always felt that her husband, Jia Rong, was a little too strong.

Not to mention just 15 years old, with a height of over 1.7 meters, he is definitely considered tall among his peers, and his body is extremely strong.

Watching him practice martial arts diligently every day, I always feel very safe.

When Jia Rong returned home at night, Qin Keqing took the initiative to recount the rumors she had heard in detail.

In the end, he worried: "Master, is there anything wrong?"

"What can be wrong?"

Jia Rong laughed softly, and said indifferently: "The old lady in the West Mansion will let her go, and there will be no trouble!"

"If she really tosses hard, she will regret it when the results of the martial arts exam come out!"

"Master is so confident?"

"nature!"

Jia Rong laughed lightly and said, "If the imperial court allows elite soldiers in the army to participate in martial arts, I'm afraid no one else will have a chance!"

Qin Keqing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in response.

She is not a lady who knows nothing. Although Guan Yu's military content is not much in the education she has received, she has a normal understanding of the army.

"By the way, sir, I heard that you want to recover the money owed by the borrower department?"

Changing the subject, Qin Keqing talked about another piece of news that has been spreading in the capital recently.

As for why she called Jia Rong 'Uncle', it was also because her father-in-law Jia Zhen and grandfather Jia Jing were still alive, so it was not easy to call 'Master'.

If Jia Rong was called 'Master', how should I call him when my father-in-law and grandfather are face to face?

You can't have a grandpa and grandpa, can you?
In recent years, the imperial court has made a fuss several times because of the emptiness of the treasury.

Although Dagan has been in peace for a hundred years, it is just that military disasters and man-made disasters have decreased, and it does not mean that there are no natural disasters.

On the contrary, Dagan has a vast area, covering almost all topography and most of the climate features, and there are constant natural disasters every year.

What the imperial court needs to do is to allocate money for disaster relief.

Nowadays, people's livelihood is still more concerned, and it may be because the emperor restrained him from doing so.

But the fact is that whenever there is a disaster book sent from below and it is confirmed, the imperial court will carry out disaster relief as soon as possible.

It's just that the money in the household department is not enough for today's "benevolence and righteousness" to be brought to the extreme, and it is often blamed by the present for the emptiness of the treasury.

But there is no way, before the emperor took the initiative to retire, he opened a very bad opening, which was to allow officials to borrow money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Originally, the original intention of such a policy was good, but unfortunately it changed after it was implemented.

The poor officials who should be taken care of the most don't borrow much. The real big borrowers are the relatives of the emperor and the court officials.

It is heard that the princes who borrowed the most amounted to more than 200 million taels each.

You know, the annual tax and silver income of the entire Dagan Dynasty is only 3000 to [-] million taels.

However, according to statistics, the total amount of silver lent by the Ministry of Households has exceeded ten million taels.

In today's troubled by money, how could it be possible not to grit your teeth with hatred for the guy who owes money?

From the later period of the emperor's reign to the current emperor these years, there have always been rumors that officials who owe money will pay back the money.

It's just that for various reasons, it was not implemented in the end.

Jia Rong was a little curious, but this situation is similar to the situation in the Kangyong period of the Qing Dynasty in normal history.

The only thing that has changed is that Dagan is a standard Han Dynasty, and there are still nearly a hundred years before the founding of the country, so they are quite scrupulous about acting too harshly.

Today, during the prince's period, it is a standard little transparency.

He didn't want to be like Yongzheng, who had been the special envoy of the royal debt collection early on.

But the problem is that the national treasury is empty, and many things that need money to be done cannot be done at all, which affects the current layout, which is not good.

What should I do if I have no money?
Naturally, they just want to find a way to get money, so is it possible to empty out the internal treasury immediately?
Although he didn't participate in the court meeting, Jia Rong had also heard that it was a headache to be troubled by money.

In addition, the big borrowers are basically the sons of the emperor, that is, the brothers today, how could they swallow this breath?

Maybe this time, today is still just a 'letting go'.

But Jia Rong can be sure that if a catastrophe suddenly breaks out somewhere, it is very likely that the bills will really start to be collected today.

"Does our mansion also owe a lot of money to the treasury?"

Jia Rong didn't have much interest in how to behave today, but he still cared about the situation of Ning Mansion itself.

"I heard from my grandmother that it's about 100 million taels!"

Qin Keqing was a little uncertain: "The exact number is not very clear to me!"

"so much?"

Jia Rong was a little surprised. There was not much difference between this number and the bank deposits in the old library. I don't know if there is any connection?
"I heard from my grandmother that at the beginning, the old Duke paid out of his own pocket to help many comrades who died in battle to take care of their children, as well as those who were injured and disabled. The cost was quite huge!"

Jia Rong nodded, showing no dissatisfaction.

If the silver deposit in the old treasury does not move, it can completely repay the arrears and still have a lot of leftovers.

Obviously, the two heads of the Ning family have made complete preparations, it's just that the descendants are unfilial...
