Chapter 176
The craftsman level of the Ministry of Industry is still good, and the manufacturing process provided by Wang Zhanjun is relatively detailed, and the samples were produced very quickly.The problem that plagues the emperor now is finance instead. The imperial court has no money to manufacture firearms in large quantities.

The emperor thought of many ways, but he couldn't solve this problem.The only way to solve financial problems quickly is to settle the arrears.

Originally, the biggest obstacle to clearing the arrears was the Supreme Emperor.However, since the beginning of this year, the Supreme Emperor has not been in very good health, and has not had much energy to interfere with the government.This gave the emperor the opportunity to strengthen his own strength.After years of planning, the strength in the hands of the emperor is enough to deal with those unwilling forces.

Without the protection of the Supreme Emperor, no one can stop the determination of the Emperor to pay the arrears.The household department where Lin Ruhai works began to get busy, and began to gradually pay off the arrears.

Most of the arrears from the household department are due to the fact that the children of the rich and powerful do not want to make progress, and the family business has declined, so they set up the idea of ​​​​the national treasury.The emperor took pity on the veteran and made this opening, and it has been out of control ever since.Borrowing money has become a trend in the capital, and those who don't borrow money will be isolated by their colleagues.

Now that the emperor wants to pay off the owed money, the capital will be heated up.Fortunately, those who were able to return it said that the emperor did not ask for interest. Although he was reluctant to give up, it did not have much impact on the family.However, like Jia's family, the honorable family whose wealth has been emptied feels uncomfortable.

"Old lady, the emperor issued an order to start collecting debts, and no one can be an exception. Even if you don't have cash, you have to use land, real estate, shops, antiques, and jewelry to pay off the debt. The Ministry of Households will arrange for knowledgeable people to conduct valuations. Deliberately suppress the price. At the same time, allow the poor families to set a deadline and repay in installments." Jia Lian told the Jia family about the household affairs.

"Old lady, what should I do?" When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng heard the news, they panicked and asked Jia's mother for advice.

Looking at Liushen Wuzhu's son, Jia's mother felt infinitely sad: "Lian'er, you follow Uncle Lin at the household department, and you know a lot. Tell me if there is any other way."

Jia Lian had already received Lin Ruhai's order and knew how to deal with it.Even if Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, Jia Lian would drag the second room to pay back the money owed.After all, Rongguo Mansion will be inherited by him in the future, and he is unwilling to bear such a large debt.

"Old lady, there is no way. Our family must pay off the debt."

Jia's mother looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Zheng'er's family, how much money does our family owe, and how much money does our family have now?"

Mrs. Wang lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law looked at the account book yesterday, and she owes a total of 88 taels of silver to the household department, and there is less than 2 taels in the account."

"Impossible." Jia She picked it up and said, "When my father was alive, he said that the family owed 20 taels of silver to the household department, and he set aside this money for repayment at any time. My father once said that besides that, The family is not allowed to borrow money from the household department. How can you owe so much money?"

Mrs. Wang replied: "In recent years, the family's expenses have been increasing day by day, but the income has become less and less. It has long been unable to make ends meet. If it weren't for the money borrowed from the household department, how could the family live on."

"I don't care. My ex-wife Zhang's housekeeper is the housekeeper. This is not the case. When the account book is handed over to you, it is also in good condition. You didn't tell me about the situation in the family, and you dared to borrow money privately. The money is not I borrowed it, and whoever borrowed it will pay it back." Jia She was unwilling to accept the money.

Mrs. Wang said: "These years, I have not been the housekeeper, and Baochai has just taken over." The implication is that it has nothing to do with the second room, and the responsibility is pushed to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng looked directly at Mrs. Wang angrily: "Auntie."

Mrs. Wang ignored Wang Xifeng, and continued: "Back then, the household department used the elder brother's seal to borrow money, and the Rongguo Mansion inherited the title from the eldest son, so naturally the elder should bear the burden."

Jia Lian had already responded to the behavior of the second room's throwing away the pot, saying: "Madam, although the loan is made with the seal of the big lord, the person in charge of the land is the post of the lord. If the wife refuses to admit it, I have no choice but to ask the emperor, someone Borrowing money from the Ministry of Households pretending to be the Rongguo Mansion. If the emperor traces it out, the empress must have her own countermeasures."

"Well said. If the court asks for a crime, I will go to the emperor to complain. Anyway, I don't have a good reputation, and I am not afraid of losing face. I just don't know if the emperor will look at the empress's face and forgive our family. .”

"No!" It was Mrs. Wang who spoke, the empress is her greatest reliance, and she does not allow anyone to ruin the future of the empress.

"How dare you!" Mother Jia shouted, "Your Majesty has sacrificed so much for our family, how dare you involve me in such a way."

"Old lady, if the money from the household department has not been paid, I will not take such a big blame. Back then, I still had some friendship with the emperor. If our family really couldn't solve this problem, I had no choice but to go to the emperor and say .” Seeing Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang throwing their hands at each other, Jia Amnesty immediately threatened them forcefully.

It was only then that Jia's mother remembered that Jia She was the former prince's companion, so naturally she knew the emperor.She didn't dare to bet on the friendship between the emperor and Jia She, so she could only say: "The emperor is still here, there is still room for relaxation in this matter."

Jia Lian retorted: "Old lady, this is not a long-term solution. The money from the household department must be paid back after all. It is better for our family to pay it back as soon as possible."

Jia's mother was angry with Jia Lian's attitude, and angrily reprimanded: "Lian'er, there is no room for you to speak here."

Jia Lian said: "Old lady, it was obviously not Sister Feng who did it, but the wife wants to put the blame on Sister Feng. Don't tell me you want to force your grandson to death."

Wang Xifeng also saw the opportunity and knelt on the ground: "Old lady, although I have been a housekeeper for so many years, I have never taken the key to the treasury. I don't know about the money and loans in the treasury. Please ask the old lady to check."

What else is there to check? Jia Lian himself is in the household department, and he has already made these clear, and even thought of countermeasures long ago.

It was only at this time that Jia's mother realized that Dafang had already known that the emperor would pay off the debts and was ready.After thinking about these things, Mother Jia didn't want to pursue any responsibility.At this time, the best way is to ask Dafang to pay back the debt, otherwise, Zheng'er can only let Zheng'er bear it.

Jia Mu said weakly: "Let's all make up together, first pay back part of the owed money, and then figure out a solution for the rest."

Jia She said indignantly: "Why, the mansion violated my father's will and borrowed so much money secretly, but didn't tell me at all. Now that I have to pay back the money, let me pay the money. There's no such reason."

"Brother, you can't say that, the borrowing of money is all for the family." Mrs. Wang argued.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to argue with Mrs. Wang, and avoided Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother, take care of your mother-in-law. You won't tell me about borrowing money, you don't know anything about it."

Jia Zheng blushed and couldn't say anything, he just called out, "Brother."

Jia She said: "Tell me, what are you using the borrowed money for? Show me the account book. If it's really used in the mansion, let's talk about it."

How dare Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang ask Jia She to check the accounts, most of the money went into the pockets of the two of them.If it is really found out, after a hundred years, I will really have no face to see my ancestors.
