Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 126 The laughingstock of the capital (please subscribe)

Only when you really get involved can you know how dark the military ration trade is!
The Ning Mansion is pretty good. This is the first time it has done such a business, and there is no strong backer to support it. The military rations sold are all real food.

That's it, you still have to be sucked out by the boss who handles it!

I heard, just heard, that the families of the five military governors who were accustomed to the military ration business, half of the military rations they sold were grain, so they were already very conscientious.

Fortunately, these guys are black and white, but they don't skimp on the weight.

It is much stronger than when civilian officials were in charge of the Ministry of War.

The reason is also very simple. No one knows which military camp these military rations will be transported to.

What if there happened to be a descendant of a certain family there?
Isn't it a trap for the rare reserve talents in the family who are motivated and willing to work hard in difficult places?

Without further ado, Jia Huan took advantage of Mr. Zheng's confusion and gave both the old lady and Mrs. Wang eye drops, so that they would have an easier time in the future.

With the energy and resources that Mr. Zheng has at his disposal, it is really not difficult to raise 40 taels of silver.

Jia Huan helped with the idea and naturally set up some small traps to see if Mrs. Wang and the old lady would jump into them.

The main purpose is not simply to alienate the relationship, but also to plan for the future.

No, Mr. Zheng was so anxious that he rushed back to the main room without taking any rest, planning to get at least 10 taels of silver from Mrs. Wang.

Jia Huan made it so clear that if the second master Zheng still doesn't know what to do, he really has something wrong with his brain. Obviously the second master Zheng is not that good.

I heard that there was a lot of commotion in the main room that night.

According to the rumors later spread by the maids and mothers-in-law, the second master Zheng lost his temper and even threatened to divorce his second wife, Mrs. Wang, which made Mrs. Wang so angry!

I also heard that the second wife, Mrs. Wang, broke through the defense that night and almost got into a fight with Mr. Zheng.

As for whether the rumors are true or false, it is difficult to determine. In short, after that night, it is clear that there were obvious cracks in the relationship between Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Of course, the result was good. Within two days, Mr. Zheng showed a total of 10 taels of silver in the big study room!

Fortunately, there was only Jia Huan at the scene, otherwise it would have caused quite a stir.

"My wife is really rich, all of them are banknotes!"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "My kid thought there would be several boxes of silver!"

The smile on Mr. Zheng Er's face froze, he pondered slightly and finally said nothing.

But looking at the way his eyes kept flickering, it was obvious that the eye drops just now had a considerable effect.

One thing drops one thing!
No matter how awesome the second wife, Mrs. Wang, is, she can only bow her head to the second master Zheng.

This time, Mrs. Wang took out 10 taels of silver in one breath. With her brave temperament, I am afraid she will feel distressed for a long time, and then she will think of various ways to make amends.

As long as she is busy and busy with other things, it will be a good thing for Jia Huan.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be too scary to focus on the house fight all day long and think about how to deal with this bastard?
It's better to find an opportunity and an excuse for her to fight Wang Xifeng.

With a base of 10 taels, the rest will be much easier to handle.

Jia Huan's idea was to encourage Mr. Zheng to borrow money from the old lady, preferably 30 taels. Anyway, the old lady's private treasury would definitely be full and it would be quite easy to borrow it.

Doesn't she want control, then just give it to her!
If you can't borrow 30 taels, you can borrow 20 taels. Should the old lady relent now?

It really doesn’t work, the minimum is 15, it can’t be any less!
If he borrows money from others, Mr. Zheng may still be embarrassed.

But borrowing money from the old lady, Mr. Zheng didn't have any psychological burden at all. He went to Rongqingtang in a high-spirited manner. He looked confident and confident.

I don’t know how Mr. Zheng Er negotiated with the old lady. Anyway, when he came back, he had an extra 20 taels of silver notes in his hand.

"It's a banknote again, it's too conspicuous!"

Jia Huan couldn't help but smacked his lips when he saw it, and suggested: "When the time comes to pay back the silver, it's best to exchange it for real silver. It looks valuable, doesn't it?"

Mr. Zheng Er didn’t know the rules, so he agreed without thinking.

Then, the news that the second master of the Rong Mansion, the head of the family, took the banknotes to exchange a large amount of cash from the bank, immediately spread in the capital, causing quite a shock.

Is this person really planning to repay the money owed to the national treasury?
In the court, the commotion originally caused by the second master Zheng's betrayal was just suppressed by the officials working together.

To put it bluntly, if no one takes the lead in repaying the money owed to the treasury, then it is just a bold suggestion and cannot be taken seriously. Whoever takes it seriously will be the enemy of the entire court.No, even Mr. Zheng, the instigator, hasn't even gone to the government office recently. He just hides at home and doesn't go out.It's obviously a sign of guilty conscience!
Those court officials thought that the two princes of the Shi family came to persuade him and it had a great effect!

Even now, I can't help but feel disappointed with the second political master!

Damn, I just made a good start, why can't I follow up? Isn't this just a joke?
As a result, I suddenly heard the news that this man had exchanged a large amount of official silver from the bank. It was obvious that he had taken concrete measures.

The courtiers were in an uproar, and now they are elated!

Sure enough, Jia Zheng didn't dazzle him, he was really preparing to repay the money owed to the treasury.

Then, through the royal spy channel, I briefly inquired about the movements of the second master Zheng in the past few days, and naturally easily learned what happened inside the Rong Mansion!
After receiving the report today, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood!

A good thing was almost ruined in the hands of the old feudal lord of Rong Mansion!
Jia Zheng is also a loser. As the head of the family, he has no control over the family finances. When he needs money, he has to ask his wife and mother for temporary financing.

The most disgusting thing is the old woman Shi Jia!
He clearly knew that the Rong Mansion owed the national treasury a total of 80 taels of silver, but he still refused to support Jia Zheng, his son, in repaying it. He tightly controlled the private treasury of the Rong Mansion and was unwilling to let go.

Fortunately, the royal spy didn't hear what Jia Huan and Mr. Zheng said in their residence. Otherwise, he would have to stare wide-eyed and scream, how can he still play like this?
The courtiers can more or less get some information from today's inquiries.

In addition, Rongfu was already a big sieve, and Jia Huan did not need to secretly add fuel to the flames. The news spread to the ears of all the courtiers who paid attention to Rongfu.

The courtiers were naturally quite disdainful of the incompetence of the second master.

The wealth of the two mistresses of Kerong Mansion also shocked them!
The selling price is either 10 taels or 20 taels. He is really rich.
Of course, some courtiers also sympathize with the Second Master, who is simply a strange existence in the officialdom.

As the head of the Rong Mansion, he doesn't have much money in his hands. When he wants to do big things, he has to ask for money from his wife and me. It's simply embarrassing.

Now, for fear of not being enough, the news that the royal spies had discovered was mixed with many related rumors and spread, and the entire capital city was talking about it.

That is to say, Mr. Zheng doesn't go out often, and he doesn't have much social life. Otherwise, if he hears all kinds of true or exaggerated rumors from outside, he may die on the spot.

For a time, Mr. Zheng Er became a laughing stock!

The common people and officials in the capital often joked about the affairs of the second master after dinner.

At the same time, I also know that it is not an easy task for Master Zheng to raise enough money.

And when the second master Zheng listened to some of Jia Huan's persuasion and took out some rarely used treasures to exchange for money, his jokes and disdain for him became even more intense.

Even before the person involved had done anything, the Jia family in Beijing couldn't bear it.

Led by two clan elders named Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu, they requested to convene a clan meeting.

These two people were also quite annoyed. They had no control over the internal affairs of the Rong Mansion, but it was a joke that the dignified head of the Second Master Zheng had gone so far as to sell off his treasures to raise money.

How could these two clan elders not know whether Rong Mansion had money?

I can only blame the second political master for being such a waste. As the head of a family, he was manipulated by my mother and wife. It is simply a shame for the men of the Jia family.

Of course, outsiders like them have nothing to do with this matter, but there must be a satisfactory answer and result for Mr. Zheng’s raising of funds, otherwise they will never agree.

Although the old lady has a high status, she does not overwhelm the tribesmen and do not even have the courage to speak!

This incident caused considerable shock in the Jia family clan in the capital. All the Mesozoic clan members responded one after another, forcing the current clan leader Jia Rong to hold a clan meeting as soon as possible.

For a time, Jia Rong and Ning Mansion were under great pressure and at a loss as to what to do.
At this time, Jia Huanshi came to the door, and naturally received a very warm reception.

When they reluctantly expressed the dissatisfaction of the tribe and asked how to solve it, Jia Huan said directly: "It's all about the money!"

"What do you think of Ning Mansion regarding returning money to the national treasury?"

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, Jia Qiang, who was accompanying him, said directly: "I don't know what the situation is in the court. If the Ning Mansion really needs money, the Ning Mansion will not hold back!"

This means that the confiscation of Lai Er's home and the huge profits from selling grain in the past two months have given the Ning Mansion a lot of confidence.

Jia Huan knew what he thought, and did not mention the courtiers' opinions. He said directly: "Nowadays, we are very concerned about the issue of repaying the money. We will start the process of collecting the owed money when my master sends the money to the household department!"

Got it!
The current emperor was carried out directly. The three masters of the Ning Mansion were helpless and could only say that everything was subject to the instructions and arrangements of the Rong Mansion.

Naturally, Jia Huan was not polite and said directly: "You also know the situation on my master's side. He can give you up to 40 taels of silver!"

"What I mean is that the Ning Rong Second Mansion will repay the 100 million taels of silver owed to the treasury in one go in advance, and the subsequent silver arrears will be paid back slowly over one year!"
