Whenever a wealthy family leads a luxurious and prosperous life, money is needed every day to pave the way.
Ordinary people are frugal in spending and living frugally. They only use a few taels of silver in a year, and they only spend dozens of taels of silver in the sky.
Similar to when Grandma Liu came to the Rongguo Mansion to ask for money, Wang Xifeng only gave twenty taels of silver and a drop of money, which could keep Grandma Liu's family alive for a long time, which was directly equivalent to their family's food and clothing expenses for a year.
This may seem like an exaggeration, but it is not.
When the class gap is too big, the wealthy family is full of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death.
Compared with the expenses of Grandma Liu's family, if they were placed in the Rongguo Mansion, they would have to spend at least dozens of taels of silver a day. The expenses were really too high.
Not to mention the Rongguo Mansion, but also the current imperial court, the six bureaucracies, and the bureaucrats up and down, how little money do they have for food and clothing?
Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion did not have much money. In the household department that Jia Yun had previously controlled, the money in the treasury was also stretched thin. I am afraid that it would not be able to support Emperor Yongtai's war for too long.
What is the war about?
If they are evenly matched, it will be similar to the Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, Bai Qi VS Zhao Kuo.
Zhao's comprehensive national strength, logistics, food, etc., there is really no way to continue to lose the confrontation with Qin.
Therefore, there was a subsequent change of generals on the battlefield, and Changping was defeated.
Otherwise, as long as the State of Zhao can withstand it, Lian Po will stay at home and not go out to fight with Bai Qi.
Even with Bai Qi's killing ability, Lian Po's turtle tactics can't be defeated.
It may not be that in the later Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi learned from the typical case of Zhao Guo's Lianpo failure and chose to shrink back and be a coward. Even if Zhuge Kongming gave Sima Yi women's clothes, he could still wear them calmly. For his own part, he dealt with it indifferently and did not engage in a decisive battle or head-on fight with Zhuge Liang.
Gou, that's it!
Now Jia Yun doesn't really expect Jia Zheng and others to achieve anything. Instead, she hopes that these people will continue to maintain their original appearance. It doesn't hurt to give up some money, and they will earn it back sooner or later. But if something happens to these people, then it will be... It's not something that a few dollars can solve.
What's more, Jia Yun has always known Jia Zheng's difficulties. A pedantic gentleman, if he had not been born in Rongguo Mansion, he would have been in poverty.
In this chaotic officialdom, you can be Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo, but you cannot be a good person.
Good people are destined to die a good death.
As the saying goes, kindness does not govern soldiers, emotion does not establish affairs, justice does not manage finances, and kindness does not serve as an official.
To be a good person in the imperial court is to seek death.
If you don’t take it and he doesn’t take it, how can the courtiers above take it?
If you are not filial and he is not filial, how can you get promoted and make a fortune?
This has been the case throughout the ages and has never changed.
Even Jia Yun relied on bribing Emperor Yongtai, as well as the help of Xiang Daiquan and other people in the Ming Dynasty in the palace, and using the power of eunuchs, so that he could rise through the ranks and rise step by step.
If there is no human relationship involved, why should others help a little person like Jia Yun?
Jia Yun watched Jia Zheng write an IOU, but she didn't stop her. She just smiled and said, "You don't need this IOU! However, since the second grandfather has already written it, I can't say anything more. As for the repayment There’s no need to write down the date, just pay it back when you have free time.”
Nowadays, the Rongguo Mansion is not only extremely poor, but it also really cannot afford much money.
Jia Yun had no intention of using Jia Zheng's IOU. Anyway, it was just a means of spending money to avoid disasters and appease people's hearts.
If Jia Yun was really short of money, she would never touch this IOU and go to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia Zheng for it.
To put it bluntly, Jia Yun never intended to let others return the money she gave away.
This is like a meat bun beating a dog, willingly.
In the past, Fan Li became the richest man in the Spring and Autumn Period and the richest man in the world. He distributed his wealth to ordinary people three times.
Just spend all your wealth and start over again. You can reach the peak of business every time and achieve the identity and status of the number one business person.
Spreading money is to buy fame and win people's hearts.
The human heart is an immeasurable treasure.
Just because of one sentence, "He who wins the hearts of the people can win the world."
Jia Yun wanted to use this method of spreading money to win over everyone in the Rongguo Mansion and take it completely into his hands.
Jia Zheng wrote the IOU, and when he heard Jia Yun's words, he quickly shook his head and said, "How can this be done? This has always been about repaying debts since ancient times. It is a natural principle. There is absolutely no reason to borrow money and not repay it. Now I have borrowed ten thousand taels of silver from you. If I have more money in the future, I will naturally have to pay back the money."
Jia Zheng is an honest man, and what he says is definitely not a lie.
It's just that Jia Yun also knows Jia Zheng's ability. If Jia Zheng doesn't embezzle and ask for bribes, it would be really difficult to pay back the money.
Jia Yun thought that she was the emperor, but she was afraid that Jia Zheng would not be able to get back the money.
However, Jia Yun still nodded and accepted the IOU, and said calmly to Jia Zheng: "Okay, this matter has been settled. I heard that Baoyu and Brother Lian are also here. We have already ordered people to prepare a dinner party. Let’s have a few more drinks and we won’t get home until we get drunk today.”
With that said, Jia Yun sent Jia Zheng out to play, and also received Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian and others.
As for this IOU, Jia Yun handed it to Hong'er next to her and said, "Send this IOU to Xiang Ling and let her let it go!"
After arranging these things, Jia Yun walked around the courtyard with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia She and others, admiring the scenery in the courtyard.
When Hong'er was about to send Xiangling the IOU, she happened to bump into Jia Baoyu coming out of Lin Daiyu's house.
Jia Baoyu looked at Hong'er who was passing by in a hurry and shouted: "Hong'er, where are you going?"
Hong'er knew Jia Baoyu. Before that, Hong'er worked as a third-class maid in Jia Baoyu's house.
But the master and servant of the past are no longer master and servant, they have already changed.
However, Hong'er didn't feel disgusted with Jia Baoyu. Instead, she smiled and said, "It was the second master who asked me to go to Aunt Xiang to deliver the IOU!"
"What IOU?" Jia Baoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Hong'er hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell Jia Baoyu about this matter.
But when Hong'er thought that Jia Baoyu was not deeply involved in the world and was a demon king who knew nothing about secular economics, it would be okay to just say it.
So Hong'er said to Jia Baoyu, "Second Master Bao, it was my master who lent you the IOU of 10,000 taels of silver."
