After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Chapter 86
Xie Xun stood under the porch, and suddenly heard a baby crying. Mrs. Liu gave birth. The new life born in the blizzard seemed to bring light and hope, and a smile appeared on Xie Xun's lips.

Feng Yu smiled, she was sitting in front of the stove, the light of the fire reflected her snow-white face, her brows were dyed with a smile, she looked soft and obedient, Xie Xun's heart that was tightly hanging also dropped.

Feiying and Chunlu also arrived with Dr. Zhou. Mrs. Liu was weak and bleeding after giving birth. Dr. Zhou was a master of gynecology and was dragged to the delivery room by Aunt Yang for treatment.

Xie Xun stopped staying and took Feiying to repair it.

That night, the north of the city was rebuilt in the snowstorm. It was busy but orderly. Feng Yu stayed up until dawn, and was ordered by Doctor Zhou not to stay in the north of the city because of her persistent high fever.Chunlu stays to continue to make arrangements and deal with the aftermath, and Zhang Da escorts Fengyu back to Fengfu.

Xie Xun requisitioned a private house as a temporary yamen, and was reviewing the account books of Jingdu Wei. It was snowing heavily, and it was clearly the middle of winter, but Zhang Boxi was sweating all over.The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are not in charge of the north of the city for the time being, and the repairs will cost a lot. Feng Yu can't be allowed to pay for it alone. This is a matter for the court.Xie Xun wanted to use Jingdu Wei's warehouse, but when he checked the accounts, he found that Jingdu Wei had only more than 1000 taels of silver in his account.

Zhang Boxi led his men to repair a busy day, suffering from hunger and cold, under Xie Xun's gaze like a blade, he cried out for grievances, "Young Master, Jingdu Wei has a bad reputation, and the people complain a lot. , Watching people order dishes, every time they ask for money, they push three times and four times, whether it is spring farming or autumn farming, or they make excuses to repair the palace. After all, the Ministry of Households has no money to send to the Jingdu Wei. Master Li and I can’t pay in private for the payment of money. Less money. Why did Jingdu Wei bully the people and dominate the market? It was also forced to do nothing. If the treasury is rich, Gong Shangshu can still show mercy. It’s left over from the daily diet.”

Xie Xun pointed to the number recorded in the account book, "The Peony House banquet cost 300 taels for the commander? If I remember correctly, it cost 100 taels that day, and it was paid by the Marquis. Are you sure that the Marquis will not check the accounts?"

Zhang Boxi's neck felt cold, and he shirked, "It must be that he was drunk that day and made a foolish account. But young master, it is also true that the household department delayed the account and refused to pay the money. Everyone said that Jingdu Wei was paid for nothing. , do nothing. Everyone is exhausted, and there is no salary to get, who wants to be a cow or a horse."

Xie Xun has heard a little bit about this. There are natural disasters this summer, not to mention that the capital guards can't pay the money. Lin Sheng said that the imperial army almost didn't get paid. It is said that Mr. Gong from the household department scolded countless times in the mansion. Do it, he wants to retire and return home.During the two months of natural disasters in summer, more than a dozen officials blocked the door of the house, and they called for poverty every day in the court.

In the end, Lin Ge thought of a way to borrow some money from several big families and wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to tide over the difficulties.Rich businessmen from Jiangnan and Jiangbei raised a total of 50 taels.The aristocratic family Koukou Sosou only had 10 taels at the beginning, but later Liangjiang wealthy businessmen raised more donations than them. The boss of Linge was furious, and several big aristocratic families took out 60 taels one after another.

The imperial court said it was a loan. Everyone knew that there was no repayment of the loan, and the attitude was quite bad. If the money was not repaid, it could provide resources and protection.The resources that can be given to the aristocratic family are stretched, so the aristocratic family is unwilling to fill in this hole.

But the Jingdu Wei with 1 people only has more than 1000 taels on the book. Xie Xun really didn't expect, how will the salary be paid next month?At this juncture, if the Ministry of Household Affairs can allocate funds, there will be ghosts.

The ex-commander and Zhang Boxi who were dismissed must be unclean. The money may be greedy, but the greed is really limited. Jingdu Wei is too poor.

Xie Xun didn't make things difficult for Zhang Boxi, and said lightly, "The repairs now require money. Brothers need money for food and lodging these days, and the purchase of medicinal materials. You call all the children of the aristocratic family over, mobilize them to collect donations, and keep accounts. After the snowstorm is over, Ben Hou personally asked the household department for money, and the urgent need should be solved first."

Hearing the howling wind outside, Zhang Boxi's heart became cold, and he wanted to advance money again, most of which were meat buns beating dogs, never returning, Xie Xun gave orders, and he could only follow through.

Xie Xun called Feiying and Nuanyang over, "How much can I pay for my private account?"

Fei Ying is the captain of the guard, and Nuan Yang is in charge of the money. After careful consideration, he said sadly, "Master, it's not that I don't want to part with it. You really don't have any money. At most, you can pay 400 taels."

"This Marquis is so poor?"

Nuan Yang opened his big innocent eyes, and settled accounts with Xie Xun cracklingly, "Master, don't forget that although you are the eldest son, you don't care about the money. The second son manages the money of the Hou's mansion. Every cent is carefully calculated and used." In Ningzhou, in order to pay the army, the second son has already sold his private property for seventy-eight eighty-eight, leaving a little ancestral property. After you go home, you will sell two manors in order to play the role of a rich man, and the guards will spend money. You have to pay back the money too. You have no money to buy jewelry for your wives before New Year's Eve, and our Hou Mansion has to sell the ancestral property to make ends meet, so how can you have any private debts?"

Xie Xun, "..."

But money is urgently needed for repairs, Xie Xun closed his eyes and rested his mind, rubbing his temples, "The seven great families have just robbed once, who is better to rob this time?"

Nuan Yang gave Xie Xun a new way of thinking, "Master, the third girl can support our Jingdu Wei, she is too rich."

"Not good!" Xie Xun said hypocritically, "She has contributed money and effort to Chengbei for three consecutive years."

Always catching a sheep and plucking it, he is as thick-skinned as a little duke, and he feels a little guilty.

Fei Ying said, "Master, you can write an IOU to the girl first, wait for the Ministry of Accounts to allocate funds, and then return it to her."

Nuan Yang complained that the allocation of funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs is just to paint a big cake, which is far away.

"Good idea, Nuan Yang, go and borrow money from the third girl." A penny is hard for a hero. Although the young master regards money as dung and never cares about pleasure, now he also understands the difficulty of having no money.

After Nuan Yang left, Xie Xun didn't move for a long time, looking at the wind and snow outside, he refused to give up and asked Fei Ying, "Is our Hou Mansion poor enough to sell our ancestral property?"

Fei Ying pondered for a moment, then replied, "The second young master sold all the properties that were spent on spending money and not used for production. The wives manage the ancestral property, and the profits are huge, but they can't stop Ningzhou from burning money like running water. If there is a truce in Ningzhou , we will be rich."

Xie Xun thought, no wonder the second brother said that Beiman must be subdued, otherwise our whole family will live on the streets.

When Chun Lu heard that Nuan Yang borrowed 100 million taels, her eyes widened.And Nuan Yang held the IOU signed and stamped by Xie Xun, and Chun Lu put on Nuan Yang's smiling face, "I have to ask the girl."

"Come on, sister Chunlu, you have to tell us carefully, the Marquis will definitely pay back the money." Nuan Yang opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Our Hou Mansion has a rich family property, so we will definitely pay it back."
