Chapter 184 Lin Hai 47
Jia Amnesty brought a hundred and ten people and drove dozens of carriages to the household department early the next morning.
"Li Shangshu," Jia Amnesty said bluntly after saluting Li Shangshu of the Household Department, "I heard that after the court meeting yesterday, the Household Department wanted to recover the money owed, and this general has already brought the 80 taels of silver owed by the Rongguo Mansion. Who do you think will be counted by the household department?"
Li Shangshu has been forced by money for more than a year, and he doesn't know how much more hair he lost.Seeing that Jia Amnesty took the initiative to pay back the silver, it was still 80 taels. "Now, now, I will immediately ask Liu Shilang and Zhou Shilang from the household department to take stock." He rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and said to the long attendant who was guarding outside the door: "Quickly call Liu Shilang and Zhou Shilang to come here."
Jia She smiled leisurely, seeing that Li Shangshu had arranged the manpower, he and Liu Shilang, who led a group of officials from the household department, went to count the silver taels.
Cheng Yin went to Jinshang's inner study early in the morning, and explained in detail what Jia She had to pay back the money last night.
"Saint, Enhou heard that the saint was troubled by the spring flood yesterday, so he immediately asked me to pay back the money today. Is it the right time? There are no such people as Enhou and Ruhai who take the saint's affairs to heart." Cheng Yin paused. He smiled again and said, "Enhou later told me that he offended the nobles who owe money, and asked the sage to protect him in the future."
Jinshang and Cheng Yin have been reading together since they were young, and now they have been together for 30 years. "Yeah, I was also protected by him back then. He was the first to break the situation for me. It's really not good for him to offend those nobles who owe money and don't want to pay it back."
The monarch and ministers were talking about Jia Amnesty, Li Shangshu sent someone to report, saying that he was counting the 80 owed silver returned by Jia Amnesty with the officials of the household department, and he would come over after the count was cleared.
Today I heard that Jia Amnesty repaid 80 yuan in full, and a smile came out of his eyes. "Okay, Enhou, today I will fulfill the kindness he deserves."
After hearing this, Cheng Yin hurriedly thanked him, "Saint, I would like to thank you for your kindness first."
The sage laughed, "Honor Chengquan, what are you thanking for?"
"A sage treats loyal ministers with kindness and righteousness, and the minister knows that Mu Jun will always be kind."
"Get up quickly, besides you, who else is there in this imperial court?"
When Jia Amnesty and Li Shangshu arrived at Jinshang's inner study, Jia Amnesty was greeted by the imperial decree of inheriting the Marquis that had already been written.Jia Amnesty was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, and accepted the canonization of Rong Guohou, who was almost 20 years late.
"Enhou, I don't treat ministers who are loyal to the state affairs badly. In the future, you will have to work harder in the Ministry of War."
Jia Amnesty kowtowed again, not daring to show the attitude he had treated the young man 20 years ago, but respectfully said: "Yes, I will work harder for the saint in the Ministry of War in the future."
The Taishang heard that Jia Amnesty had paid back the money he owed, so he sent the little eunuch from the Palace of Mercy over.
"Enhou, go, the Empress has not had a good look at you for many years."
Jia Amnesty thanked him again, and followed the eunuch to the Palace of Mercy.
His Majesty looked at Jia She, who was kneeling and worshiping. It turned out that the young man who was full of vigor and looked down on everything was now wearing a fourth-rank official uniform. He has more timidity, introversion, and restraint that he didn't have when he was young, and he lacks too much and too much dignified manner of a powerful minister compared to Jia Daishan.Thinking of my old school companion, who had been loyal to me for decades, but finally died in depression, I couldn't help feeling ups and downs, and beckoned Jia She to come forward.
"Enhou, when your word was still crowned, I took it for you, remember?"
Jia Amnesty stepped forward, "I remember."
"Do you hate me?"
Jia Amnesty quickly leaned over and replied, "I never did. I am grateful for the saint's life."
Taishang was moved, "I can't help it either. How is Taifu's grandson?"
"Okay, I won Juren last year, and I sent him to my uncle's house to continue studying."
"Okay, okay, the Zhang family, all the men in the family are talented, and they must be grandsons who can teach the Taifu well. You go, and you will learn from your father to be loyal to the country in the future."
After Jia Amnesty bowed again, he followed Xiao Huangmen out of the Palace of Mercy.
Here Jia She has not yet returned to the Ministry of War, the secret report of the conversation between the old sage and Jia She has reached today's desk.
"Fansen, has Enhou's son been sent to Zhang's family to study?"
"Yes. I heard him say it once. Enhou's eldest son was born at the time of Lao Qiansui. This time, Jia Lian was Lin Hai's apprentice. He used to study with Lin Hai. Enhou disliked him for not being able to concentrate on his studies after being elected and returned to Beijing. So I sent him to Taifu's hometown."
"Teacher. Fansen, do you know that back then I envied Jia Shede for marrying the daughter of the Taifu. At that time, I thought that when I got married, what kind of family would the Taishang choose to marry? Will it be as good as Zhang's daughter?"
"Sage, the eldest prince and the second prince are all outstanding in learning and temperament, and the queen is also very good."
"Yes, the two princes, the queen taught them very well. I remember that the Zhang family returned to their original place?"
"Yes. After the old matriarch Fu committed suicide, the majesty released the rest of the Zhang family."
"Few families were able to retreat unscathed back then. It was really rare for the Supreme Being to deal with the Zhang family. However, the Zhang family can still teach people to read, that means there are still capable people. Tell me, how about I call the Zhang family back? "
"Where is the Taishang?"
"The Taishang let the Zhang family go, and it has been 20 years. If the Zhang family has something available, it can also solve the urgent need of our monarchs and ministers who have no one to use."
"Yes, the sage has thought carefully. I will tell Enhou today to bring Zhang's family back."
Just when Jia Amnesty returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he was confronted by a fist as big as a fist, hitting him on the head.Shocked, Jia Amnesty raised his arms to shield him, and punched the man in the face with ease.The two of them kept silent, just you come and go, punching more and more.The fist hit the body, making a dull sound.
Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding and Bao Ling Hou Shi Nai rushed out and shouted: "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore."
After a while, a few more people came over and finally pulled the two apart.It was only then that Jia She could see clearly the person who had been gesticulating with him for a long while.
Jia Amnesty raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said to the heir of Shan Guogong and Niu Shilang of the Ministry of War, "You can do it, you can do it. Let's go to the saint and talk about it."
Only then did everyone see clearly that Jia Amnesty was still holding the imperial edict in his hand.
Shi Ding hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Enhou, Enhou, forget it, the Ministry of War never fights or kisses."
Jia Amnesty held the imperial edict and refused to let go, "Why did you attack me?"
The son of Shan Guogong was not angry, "Jia Amnesty, you can do it, you have money, are you going to kill us nobles?"
It's no wonder that the son of Shan Guogong is anxious, his family is a typical example of not being able to afford it.Several generations of Shan Guogongs were greedy and lustful people, carrying people to the mansion one by one from left to right. I don’t know how many concubines and concubines have given birth to girls. After generations of family separation, the direct branch can get less and less.Fortunately, there are many concubine girls, and some of them are married well.A concubine's younger sister of Duke Shan's son entered the palace, and was promoted to one of the four concubines because of the joy of the emperor, but unfortunately there was no prince.With the abdication of the emperor and becoming a concubine, the influence of the Shanguo government in the court has declined a lot.
The son of Shan Guogong is the chief executive who doesn't want to pay back the money. The old Shan Guogong is still alive, and he has seven or eight brothers living with him in the mansion. Everyone has many children, let alone paying back the money. , the annual expenses have to be calculated.Jia She is taking the lead and still owes money, isn't he just trying to drive him to nowhere? !
"Murderer pays for his life and pays for the debt. I owe the debt and I pay the money. I have to discuss with you? You want to pay for me?" Jia She was furious.He is almost ten years older than the son of Shan Guogong, and he has suffered a lot after this tough resistance.Fortunately, he has been working hard in the morning and evening for more than half a year, and he has never been negligent.Otherwise, he would have to be beaten to death by the prince of Shan Guogong.
"Enhou," Shi Ding asked Jia She as a good man, "Enhou, why are you thinking about paying back the money?"
"Father's will."
Jia She's words choked everyone who was listening in the courtyard back.Shi Ding blinked and didn't know what to say.Tch, my late father's will——Jia Daishan has been dead for 20 years, and it was decided 20 years ago to pay back the money now?If you want to fool people, don't talk nonsense.
Shi Nai yelled, "Okay, okay, let's all go back to the house, it's not too cold." The two brothers dragged Jia Amnesty into the house.
Shi Ding ordered his entourage to watch the door, and pulled Jia She to sit down, "Cousin, there are no outsiders here, just the three of us, tell your brothers about the inside story of returning the money."
"What's the inside story, debt repayment is a matter of course. If the family is not as good as ours and owes us money, it's our turn to be tight, and we have to ask!" Jia Amnesty was still not calm.
"Enhou, do you know that you have offended all the people who owe money by taking the lead to pay back the money?"
"Tch, so what?" Jia She rolled his eyes and shook the scroll in his hand, "Marquis Rongguo. Haha."
Shocked, Shi Nai stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict in Jia She's hand, but withdrew his hand again. "Enhou, are you a Marquis?"
"Yes." Jia Amnesty looked at the door, and unfolded the imperial edict to Shi Ding and Shi Nai. "Marquis Rong Guo."
"It's worth it." Zhong Jinghou Shi Ding patted Jia She on the shoulder vigorously. "Sooner or later, you should pay it back, Enhou is smart. My title was earned by thousands of troops, Enhou, you..." What Shi Dingwei said, the ancestors of the Jia family borrowed money and spent it, but repaid the money and got the Marquis , There is reason to go there.
"Don't say that, cousin. Part of the money borrowed by the Rongguo Mansion is to accommodate the disabled soldiers who followed their ancestors to fight the world, and the other part is to pick them up. The 80 I repaid are all paid by the ancestors of the past generations. , accumulated. Every generation of the Jia family who took over the Rongguo Mansion must take over the will, and if the court’s turnover is tight, it must be returned as soon as possible.”
Shi Ding and Shi Nai brothers were silent, why didn't their ancestors have such vision.
"After paying back the money, the warehouse in Rongguo Mansion doesn't need to be locked. Do you know? Back then, the Lin family of Marquis Wending also borrowed money."
"Lin Hai has been in the Lianghuai Salt Administration for many years, and he can still afford hundreds of thousands." Shi Nai didn't care.
"His ancestors only borrowed 1 taels."
Jia Amnesty saw the surprised look of the Shijia brothers as he wished, "Literati, they are smarter than us. You two should pay back quickly. Don't wait for it to be used as an excuse to seize the title later."
Shi Ding and Shi Nai nodded, and the Lin family enshrined them as counselors, so they followed, there was no mistake.
At this time, Lin Hai, who was in the Ministry of Rites, also received the amount of owed money from the head of the household department.Lin Hai looked at the note, beckoned Lin Jin to come in, and told him to go back to the mansion to get enough cash of 1 taels and 1000 taels and send it to the household department.
