Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 444 Iron Blood Emperor 40

After Jia Daishan carefully read the suicide note left by his uncle, he got up to tidy up, and took his two sons to Baolinghou's mansion.

The three Shijia brothers really did the funeral in accordance with the old master's will.If it is not simple, it will not work. The three brothers have to stay at home for three years, which means they have no income.If there is no special war, the saint will never recruit them who keep their filial piety.

After Jia Daishan went to pay homage to the eldest uncle of the historian, he called the three brothers together.

"Your father left a letter with me, and asked me to take good care of you in the future. You have been keeping filial piety at home for a few years, and then pass on the incense. Don't even think about participating in the war on the northern front."

The three brothers nodded in unison.

Jia Daishan took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve pocket and put it on the tea table in front of him.

"There are 1 taels of silver bills in here. You should take them to supplement your family first."

1 taels of silver bill?But the three brothers were so moved that they immediately kowtowed to Jia Daishan, his uncle.If the money owed by the court is not repaid, the historian is also a wealthy family.Now is the time when we are in short supply, and with the assistance of my uncle, even if several of them are from the military, they all have red eyes with gratitude.

Jia Daishan pulled the three brothers up one by one, sighed and said: "You don't have to do this. The money owed by the court will have to be paid back sooner or later. If the court collects the debt and the debt is not paid, it will be a big trouble. Now there is no debt. If you have a meritorious field to rely on, you can live a good life behind closed doors, and if you have anything to do, send someone to Rongguo Mansion."

The three brothers sent Jia Daishan and his son off with tears of gratitude.

On the way back home, Jia Zheng looked at his father with his eyes closed and meditated, and asked Jia amnesty in a low voice.

"Brother, does your uncle's family owe the court a lot of money?"

"Well. Hundreds of thousands."

Jia Zheng half-opened his mouth in fright, and Jia She laughed at him, "Second brother, close your mouth. Our government also owes 80 yuan."

80?

Jia Zheng suddenly felt out of breath.His one-year salary in Luzon is just over 200 taels.Without the support from his family, he would have to live at the same level as those around him.

"Big brother, why do you owe so much? How do we pay it back?"

Jia Zheng was about to cry.

Jia Daishan slightly lifted his eyelids, glanced at his next son, then at his eldest son, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

"You don't need to worry about this. Now there is only a debt of 20 yuan. My father and I will arrange it."

Jia Zheng still wasn't at ease, so he chased Jia She and said, "Brother, when I was in Luzon, Mrs. Wang always wrote down the possible monthly expenses first, and then calculated the family's money, and decided what was available or not. Let’s avoid it first. In the military camp, there is also a plan for the monthly expenses. Our mansion, our mansion..."

"How is our house?" Hearing what Jia Zheng said, Jia Amnesty became interested in his younger brother who had been separated for ten years.

"Brother, although he is the housekeeper of my sister-in-law." Jia Zheng looked at the old father who was dozing off with his eyes closed, and he mustered up his courage to say, "Brother, let's make a plan like a military camp. We can reduce what should not be spent and what can be saved. Minus, pay back the owed money first. And the children grow up every year, and getting married in the future will be a big expense."

These latter words are what Mrs. Wang often chanted to him, and at the end of the chanting, there is only ten taels of silver in his purse all the year round.As long as he spends a couple of dollars, he feels ashamed of his wife and children.

"Okay, just do as you said. Tomorrow, let's call the children together and think about what can be cut and unnecessary expenses in the house, and reduce them all."

Jia Amnesty followed the sage, and often checked with the sage on the accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs.Thinking about Jia Zheng's going out for a trip, he really understood something. Hearing his father's breathing pretending to be asleep, he immediately decided to let the second room join the housekeeper.

Firstly, the close relationship between the sisters-in-law can be used to show the close relationship between the brothers and reassure the father; secondly, the Wang family can take the niece to share some housework, which can also reduce the labor of the Zhang family and the daughter.

Another thing, the boys knew earlier that the government had huge expenses, which could also stimulate them to make progress.

When Jia Zheng went back to his yard, he told his uncle about the money he had returned from the mansion and the difficulties he would have to live with in the future. Then he told Mrs. Wang what Jia Amnesty said, and Mrs. Wang understood that her naive husband had caused trouble. .When I was in Luzon, I counted the monthly expenses to Jia Zheng, and I really couldn't stand his spending without counting.

well!Mrs. Wang felt tired. With such a husband, he could cause "disaster" if he was out of sight for a while.The head of the house, why did he propose to save flowers?In a few years, when the eldest son gets married, and the eldest daughter gets married, the stomach will be able to take it out, so let’s go back to Luzon.

I really dare not keep him in the capital, since the next few children will have to rely on Dafang's son and daughter.

It's really sad.

I hope the big house doesn't think they want to covet the right to be a housekeeper!

The Supreme Being has also been settling accounts with the Holy Spirit these days.Ever since the sage said to go out for a walk that day, the Taishang has been moved.He wanted to visit Jiangnan and Liaodong, but it would be better if he went further north.There are Fusang, Luzon, Siam, Annan.

The sage took a pen and paper to record while listening to the Supreme Master's plan.When the Supreme Master finished speaking, the saint nodded in praise.

"Father, Annan should be in the last row. Liaodong is getting colder and colder in front of these places. You might as well go to Siam first, then to Luzon, and then to the Strait of Malacca. Father, it's just a big tour. It’s time to go back to Beijing. Before it freezes in autumn next year, it’s good to go back to Beijing. At that time, you can also keep an eye on those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and watch them prepare for Changtai’s wedding in the next year. Don’t let them wrong Changtai. Let the old Rongguo Would you like me to accompany you for a walk together? My son sees that he is very depressed."

The Empress also meant the same thing, with Jia Daishan to accompany him, and someone to talk to.

After all the calculations, Yin Zi was a little nervous.

The saint was a little embarrassed, "Father, it's all my son's fault. I allocated too much silver to the Academy of Sciences a while ago. Let's see where it is, my son. I can tighten it up."

The majesty glanced at his son, "Forget it, take the balance from my own private treasury. You don't have to worry about them at the Academy of Sciences. When their steam locomotive is built, I can take the train to Liaodong."

The saint nodded again and again, "Father's arrangement is very good, the steam locomotive is already being tested, and the track should be laid in Liaodong within three years."

The crown prince looked at his grandfather who was enthusiastically planning his itinerary, and thought that he was learning from his father to deal with government affairs recently.Wanting to go very much but a little bit reluctant, the tangled little expression changed back and forth, making Taishang laugh uncontrollably.

"Changtai, follow your father and study hard. After you are 60 years old, you will give up the throne to your son, and you will have the opportunity to go around."

After 60 years old?The prince's face looked like he had eaten bitter melon.

The Taishang turned his head and told the saint, "Ming Yun, you have to teach Changtai well, I will come back next year and I will question Changtai."

"Okay, okay, Father, don't worry, my son will use the method you taught him back then."

The Supreme Master agreed to the itinerary, and the sage began to prepare for the Taishang's entourage.The Imperial Forest Army had to bring enough people, and the accompanying imperial physician, the imperial chef of the imperial dining room, the four divisions and eight bureaus also had to draw people to accompany the holy cavalry.As for the women in the sage's West Sixth Palace and the Compassionate Ning Palace, it was up to the sage to decide who to bring along.

The Taishang watched his son explaining to the Prince while drawing up the list, and he was satisfied and said: "The Palace of Compassionate Ning will only bring Concubine Wang and Niu Guiren, but not the four divisions and eight bureaus. It costs too much to put on such a big show."

The sage said: "Father, if you only take them two to serve you, and don't want the servants of the four bureaus and eight bureaus to accompany you, then you don't need to use your private treasury to make up for it."

The Taishang insisted on bringing only the necessary accompanying personnel, and only a small half of the list made by the sage was deleted, deleted, and deleted.He didn't forget that he went to Jiangnan for the third time in his dream, but he almost couldn't return to Beijing because he had no money.

After the royal father and son confirmed all the entourage, Jia Daishan, who hadn't been at home for a long time, was summoned to Wenyuan Pavilion by the saint.

"Old Duke, the Empress Dowager is going to visit Luzon, and you will patrol Nanyang with the Empress Dowager, okay?"

Well, of course!

The sage can remember Rongguo Mansion, and his son will recover after his filial piety next year.Jia Daishan quickly stood up and was about to kneel down to thank Shengen.

The sage swept away Wangcai, and Wangcai held Jia Daishan extremely quickly.

"Old Duke, the saint has spared you from saluting."

After Jia Daishan left Wenyuan Pavilion, he went to the Taishang's Compassionate Palace.

Seeing his wife's obviously sluggish and unbearably sad appearance, the Taishang said to Jia Daishan, "Walk around with me to relax, Ming Yun is also worried about you."

In one sentence, Jia Daishan Haoxuan shed tears on the spot.

"Look at you, look at you, you don't look like a general anymore. A man is a man, and his wife is unvirtuous and his son is unfilial. If I want to be like you, when the second prince threw smallpox into the East Palace, I would have died of anger. Dead wimp."

Jia Daishan replied: "So you are an old sage, and my minister is an old Duke. There are so many gaps in the middle."

Hearing Jia Daishan's words, the Empress was not only not annoyed, but laughed instead, "Old Jia, you seem to be refreshed now that you can go out and have some fun."

"The Taishang is the same as the old minister. I am detained in this capital every day, and there is a horse racing beyond the Great Wall."

"Yeah, it's been boring for a long time, and the bones are rusted."

The monarchs and ministers talked and laughed, and each other's mood improved a lot.

It's quick to say, slow to say, after all, when the sage gives an order, a large number of officials will be mobilized from each ministry to obey the order.Among the suitable travel days selected by Qin Tianjian, the Taishang chose the nearest one.

After many years, the Taishang left Beijing again to inspect the territory of Nanyang.The sage took the prince, civil and military officials to a place ten miles away from Beijing.The Supreme Master stopped everyone who was seeing them off, and went to Tianjin Wei with a mighty team.The Taishang is going to set off on a sea boat in Tianjin Wei.
