Uncle Rong replied: "It's only a little over 5,000 taels of silver to rent eight villages. It's really outrageous. But have you locked up the people? You need to do a good job to avoid raising a big rat in Heishan Village." Come on. Big rats, big rats, won’t eat my millet! I won’t care about a three-year-old girl. I’m sure Uncle Lian understands the meaning.”
Mr. Lian glanced at the illiterate man and said, dumbfounded: "We are the big rats in their mouths. However, our family has never treated them badly. The rent has never been increased in so many years, and in the past, rent was waived during disasters." . Recently, I haven’t even taken the initiative to ask them to be the head of the village. They give me rent every year and there are many rewards.”
"We are short of money now, but we don't know how much rent they will send." Uncle Rong said quietly, "This kind of thing is easy to handle. As long as you take the lock, you dare to teach him not to tell the truth?"
Second Master Pian Lian was embarrassed after hearing this method. The Jia family had no history of being harsh to their supervisors.
When Brother Rong made a big fight and confiscated the village outside the city, and then went to seize the land of Ningguo Mansion in Heishan Village, the masters and wives of Xifu didn't like this style of behavior. After all, the village head and the village owners were working for the government. Second Master Lian really didn't dare to lock up the village head who sent the rent, and he was too ruthless to do anything.
Seeing his expression, Uncle Rong couldn't help but make up his mind and said: "Uncle Lian estimates how much annual rent the eight village land in Heishan Village to the west will get? If I ask Lai Sheng to check Guan Guan, he will also go back to Heilongjiang after the year. Go to the mountain village. The farmland of the two houses is only more than a hundred miles apart, and there are Jia Qin and others from the clan here. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to find out the truth? "
"this……"
"Why are you hesitating?" Uncle Rong frowned and said, "For such a large area, not to mention giving away 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, there should be 7,8,000 or 8,000 taels. Even if Uncle Lian lets me run the show, Heishan Village will receive less money every year from now on." He said he would send more than 10,000 taels of silver."
No. The Ningguo Mansion has more land in Beiliao than the Rongguo Mansion. This year, Lai Sheng gave away nearly ten thousand taels of rent. Can Zhuangzi over there in Rongguo Mansion still have less than ten thousand taels?
"The brothers of the Wu family are also bold. How could they not have heard that I had Wu Jinxiao copied? We are brothers of the same family, so why didn't we ask how much rent was given to the land that Wu Jinxiao manages this year?" Uncle Rong was indignant. He grabbed the second master Lian and said: "Today Lai Sheng came back from Heishan Village. The land rent and beast exchange alone cost nearly ten thousand taels. In such a comparison, how can the land in Xifu Village, which is more than a hundred miles away, be any different? too much?"
Jia Lian also felt that it was too much, and he couldn't get too angry. Sansan explained: "Wu Jinxian has said a lot, and his family has sent a lot of things to honor the old ladies and gentlemen in the mansion. I'm afraid that because of the trouble in the mansion, both the empress and today will have troubles." I got a reward, so I just had some weird thoughts."
"I'm just afraid. The rewards you get from the palace are not as much as 32% of the filial piety you go to the palace. Not to mention building a big courtyard, the filial piety sent out every festival is taken care of by the eunuchs who come and go. It's a lot of money. How much income do you have over there? How can you support such an expense?"
Jia Lian replied nonchalantly: "It's not that we don't have money, the New Year expenses are high. This year I just want to wait for Brother Rong to receive the reward from the Spring Festival, so that the money in the west can be used freely."
"It's only a few thousand silver. How much money can you get from the grand prize, silver, official salary, etc.? You guys don't have this land over there." Brother Rong curled his lips and said, "If we are really short of silver, we can just use some from here." Yes. We are really in urgent need of money over there. Let’s take 20,000 taels from Dongfu. Next year, I’ll ask Lai Sheng and the others to collect the rent for your land in Heishan Village.”
"How can you get 20,000 taels of silver there?" Jia Lian was a little moved after hearing this, and he felt that he had taken advantage of Dongfu. "This matter is going to reach the ears of the old lady, and she doesn't know how to scold me."
"Uncle Lian looked forward and backward, but he didn't dare to raid Wu Jinxian's house. I asked Lai Sheng to go over and beat it, and all the Wu family members had to lie down. If we really want to find out the huge inventory of Shuoshu, we have to eat more of them. Take it back." Brother Rong pulled Mr. Lian and said sincerely: "Leave the affairs of Heishan Village to me. It won't damage your dignity. It's just that this is not a long-term solution. With such a big family, How can anyone survive on a rent of 10,000 to 20,000 taels per year?"
Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Who doesn't want to make a fortune?"
"So. When we have no money, we have to catch rats and eliminate the rat infestation." Uncle Rong rolled his eyes and said, "In Heishan Village, there are some Lai Sheng and the others there anyway. What are you worried about? Here we come from Wu Jin Xiao That's a lot of money. How much less can Wu Jinxian's family get? Uncle Lian doesn't want to think about it anymore. I will talk to Mr. She tomorrow and write a letter to Mr. Second. You will wait for it next year. Just silver."
"this……"
Uncle Rong smiled and said: "It just so happens that I also have a profitable business in hand. I borrowed the money and the joint venture between the two governments will be enough for my children and grandchildren to squander."
Jia Lian had never worried about money before. Even if he was worried, it was because he didn't have enough money to be happy with women. Nowadays, the big New Year items in the house really make him feel depressed. After listening to Brother Rong's advice, I slowly accepted it.
No matter what, let the gentlemen and ladies in the house ensure their current wealthy life.
Brother Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Lian, please don't frown anymore."
"..."
The frown can easily disappear. In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Lian had another drink in Huifang Garden and returned to the west early. Just as he was planning to go back to the hospital to have some fun with Qiutong to relieve his fatigue, he saw a familiar person playing in the snow.
It should be said that this man is also quite talented, and he is easy to dress up. She is only in her early twenties, and most of her movements are charming. When Mr. Lian saw her figure, he recalled some things and suddenly no longer wanted to go back to the courtyard to find the little girl Qiutong.
Second Master Lian tightened his coat and walked over in the snow, saying with concern, "Girl is not afraid of the cold either."
It turns out that this person is the daughter-in-law of a cook in the back kitchen of Rongguo Mansion. Her husband's name is Duoguan. People see him as cowardly and incompetent, so they call him "Duoguan". Therefore, this daughter-in-law was called "a girl" by the people in the house.
There are so many girls who take advantage of some of my beauty. They are frivolous by nature and like to flirt with women the most. He is a fool and has no theory. He just has wine, meat and money, so he doesn't care about anything, so the male servants of Rong Ning's second house have been able to get it.
Second Master Lian has experienced it himself, but he still loses his soul when he thinks about the past, and his heart feels more like being tickled by the little hands of many girls.
Many girls are also interesting people, and all the male servants in Rongguo Mansion have been tested by her. Most of those rough people were boring, but Second Master Lian impressed her the most. When he saw the second master, he said with a charming smile, "The second master came back this morning?"
Second Master Lian was getting angry after drinking. Seeing everyone at the moment, they wanted to turn into snow and fall on her. He said softly: "I was just thinking about the things that Heishan Village sent me today, and I decided to pick something good-looking to match you."
