Chapter 2892 The Early Bird Is Better than the Dead Bird
Bai Yixiu rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You also said it was borrowed, and if you borrowed it, you will pay it back, so why not pay it back? Although he serves the Emperor Taishang, he doesn't recognize the current emperor! He can't ask the Emperor Taishang for money. , but I can ask you for money!
The two Rongning houses add up to one million taels, plus other honorable and powerful ministers, a total of 32 million taels are lent out, which is equivalent to one and a half years of taxes on the first day of the week.
The emperor looked at so many IOUs, and thought that the treasury was empty, and then that the coffers of these ministers, Xungui, were full, and no one was happy! In the past, the Emperor Taishang might be embarrassed to ask for it for the sake of the year. The current emperor doesn't have much affection for you, so he doesn't care about that! "
When Jia Jing heard this, he thought for a while, "You mean to want our Second Rongning House to take the initiative to pay back the money in advance? But this way, our Second Rongning House will become the first bird among the nobles!"
Bai Yixiu shook his head, "It's better to be a first bird than a dead bird! In addition, as far as I know, Jia Zhen has not really succeeded in Qin Keqing, you can go back and take care of it now, maybe you can turn it around. After the money is paid, he can still perform meritorious deeds, and the merits and demerits are equal to Ning Guofu, so of course it will be fine.
As for the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang from the second room not only borrowed loan sharks, but also sued for champerty lawsuits, both of which are charges of raiding her home and going to jail. Before I came, I had found Brother Jah, and I will prepare the money the day after tomorrow and hand it over to the Ministry of Housing! Brother Jia Jing, are you really reluctant to give up the money? "
Jia Jing sighed with a wry smile and said, "I'm dying, what's the use of asking for money! Lin Hai, I understand your kindness. I'll go back to the city with you tomorrow morning. I'll let Jia Rong take his wife to Songshan Academy immediately. Study, as for Jia Zhen, stay in the mansion, I will watch it myself! If he makes a mistake, I will beat him to death! I can't continue to let him do wrong things and implicate the whole Ningguo mansion!"
Bai Yixiu smiled in amazement and asked, "Brother Jing, are you leaving home?"
Jia Jing shook his head, "Since I can't keep Ningguo Mansion as a monk, what's the point of me being a monk? Times have changed, His Majesty has ascended the throne, and the throne is stable. The Supreme Emperor is still there, and I can still remember my father's efforts to save him back then. I paid back the money. After that, I will restrain the children and grandchildren in my family, and depending on the past relationship, maybe the Jia family still has a chance to survive."
Bai Yixiu nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Jing, if you believe me, then what I do, you do what you do!"
Jia Jing smiled and praised: "Lin Hai, to be honest, when I learned that you went to Yangzhou to be the inspector of salt in the south of the Yangtze River, I knew that you would not live long! I didn't expect you to be very capable, not only Coming back alive can stabilize the situation in Jiangnan.
It's not easy, I finally understand why the second uncle asked you to be his son-in-law no matter what. Min'er back then was the princess, and the prince also made it, but the second uncle didn't agree. Today it seems that the second uncle is looking for a way back for the Jia family! "
Bai Yixiu smiled bitterly, "Hey, let me tell you the truth, I was poisoned in Jiangnan and almost died."
"You said it too, it's almost dead, not dead. As long as it doesn't die, it's victory." Jia Jing shrugged, then looked at Bai Yixiu, "The Jia family has reached this point, if I continue to hide In the Taoist temple, it is also self-deception. I will go back with you tomorrow, and tonight, you will be in the Taoist temple for one night. "
