"Lai Da spent 10,000 taels of silver for his son to donate to the official, and then used the same amount of silver as the official donation to dredge up and fill the vacancy, well, donating the official and dredging can't be interjected by outsiders, I just don't understand, why is your Rongguo Mansion's big housekeeper so richly paid, and he can easily take out 120,000 taels of silver to donate to fill the vacancy? So how rich is everyone's family background? I'm afraid I can't find out even 100,000 taels of silver, right? ”

Feng Ziying smiled and gently patted Wang Xifeng's round and full legs with her hand, but the words she said made Wang Xifeng and Ping'er dumbfounded, 20,000 taels of silver?

What a huge number?! You must know that twenty taels of silver in the first twenty taels of silver can make an ordinary farmer live in peace for a year, and the monthly monthly money of ordinary maids in the house is only five hundred copper coins!

It is a very heady big girl such as mandarin ducks, amber, colorful clouds, colorful xia, and charming people, and they are only one or two silver, like Baoyu's purple silk, Qifei, autumn pattern, musk moon A few big girls, as well as Daiyu's purple juan, Si Qi to welcome spring, to explore the spring's book, Xiangyun's cui wisps, and to cherish the spring's paintings, it is just a hanging of money.

Raider and Ping'er are exceptions, raiders originally only had one or two silver, because they were combed by Baoyu, it rose to two taels of silver, this is the standard of a girl in a room, and Ping'er is also the same as taking two taels of silver with the reputation of a girl in a room, which is also the reason why Jia Lian was very dissatisfied at the beginning, and kept talking about Ping'er's monthly example of taking two taels of silver, but he couldn't get his hands on it.

"How many years has Lai Da been a housekeeper in your Rongguo Mansion? He is the son of a family, and Mama Lai started with Lao Taijun, how much is his monthly money? Is there twenty taels? Coupled with the year-end bonus, can Lai Da get three or four hundred taels a year? Seeing that Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak out, Feng Ziying asked again.

For example, Jin Chu'er took one or two taels of silver in Jiafu, and after arriving at Feng's house, he doubled and got two taels of silver, Xiangling only took a penny in Xue's house, and it also rose to one or two halves of silver when he arrived at Feng's house, but later Jin Chu'er and Xiangling were combed by Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying raised the monthly case of five taels of silver for the two of them, which is the monthly standard of Feng's house.

According to the exchange of silver coins in this era, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for 1,200 copper coins, and 200 copper coins are the difference between a big girl with a card and an ordinary big girl.

Of course, in addition to these monthly money, there will definitely be bonuses at the end of the year, and the number is not small, basically according to about half of the monthly rules of each year, depending on the generosity of the host's family, of course, there are some red envelope rewards, that is, the owner's one-to-one individual reward.

"How is that possible?!" Ping'er couldn't help but sneer, and shook her head again and again, "The ancestor and his wife are only twenty taels a month, although the old man doesn't know?" But the second master of Lian only spends fifty taels per month, and the eldest master and the second master are only eighty taels at most, although Lai Da is a housekeeper? But it's not the master, how can you surpass the masters? But eighteen taels is already the limit? That's still watching him work hard over the years. ”

Fifteen taels, is it really not too little? One hundred and eighty taels a year? With bonuses and rewards, at least an annual income of more than 300 taels? But this is really too different from 20,000 taels of silver? This means that Lai Da used his income for sixty or seventy years to donate an official for his son? How many years has Lai Dacai been a housekeeper?

Even if the food and clothing in this Jia Mansion are all managed by the government, plus it is estimated that everyone can use one hundred taels of silver to earn a year, four hundred taels of silver a year, and it will take forty or fifty years to save without spending a penny? Is this possible?

And Lai Daneng took out nearly 20,000 taels of silver to donate to his son, so the family will definitely not have this alone? According to Feng Ziying's estimate, it will at least quadruple, that is to say, the family foundation is at least more than seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver.

"Then Ping'er, where did you say that you rely on everyone's solid family background?" Feng Ziying looked at Ping'er with a smile and asked.

Ping'er glanced at Wang Xifeng? After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Steward Lai's annual income must be more than three hundred taels of silver, but it ......."

"But what? Isn't it just that he is in charge of the daily routine of the house, although Sister Feng is in charge of distributing money, but how to do it and how much it costs, she can't just listen to the reports from the people below, as long as it's not too outrageous, she doesn't have much energy to worry about specifically, right? Feng Ziying smiled faintly, "Lai Da is up and down, it is estimated that he may be able to make eight thousand taels this year, right?" ”

Ping'er was startled, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Master, it's impossible, right?" Where did he come from to be so bold? ”

"Hmph, where did he come from to be so bold? I'm afraid that his courage is bigger than the sky, and he didn't even look at the masters in the mansion, thinking that he could fool you casually, as if he had fooled you for decades, and he wouldn't just come over like this, or how would you explain that the 20,000 silver was taken out casually? As far as I know, Lai Shangrong seems to have been raised as a young master outside the mansion since he was a child, shouldn't he spend the past twenty years? Feng Ziying snorted coldly.

When Feng Ziying and Ping'er were talking, Wang Xifeng was already pondering the mystery inside, she was much more calculating than Ping'er.

The Lai family can take out 120,000 taels of silver casually, and the family is definitely more than 50,000 taels of silver, and even this bottom line is too low, it should be more than 80,000 taels, plus this time the Lai family grabbed food from Jia Yu and Jia Zhen, Wang Xifeng estimated that they would at least not be able to make more than 20,000 taels for this livelihood, maybe Lai Shangrong's donation to the official dredged up the silver came from here.

Not to mention it before, Mama Lai has an ancestor to rely on, and Rongguo Mansion is also passable, but she is a little greedy, and everyone doesn't care about the face of the ancestor, but this time the situation is different.

Jia Jiaxiu this garden tossed the old foundation, not to mention, and still owed a lot of debts, this day will be long when you have to live a tight life in the future, and the Lai family also robbed Jia Yu and Jia Zhen of the meat in their mouths, and hated Jia Yu Jia Zhen, the two leaders of the Rongning Second Mansion, it can be said that the time and place are not on the Lai family's side now.

This garden also made so much silver, and quietly spent 10,000 or 20,000 silver to donate officials to his son to fill the vacancy, this matter is going to come out, but I am afraid that the house will be blown up.

Wang Xifeng has been the home of Rongguo Mansion for so many years, and he still has some calculations in his heart.

The Rongguo Mansion has food and clothing, and the cost of human relations is a little tighter, and it is impossible to pass 25,000 taels of silver a year, especially after the garden is repaired, this cost has to go up, so if you throw it a little, you have to go to more than 27,800 taels.

Now because of the construction of the garden, the Rongguo Mansion has to borrow 30,000 taels of silver in addition to borrowing the silver of the relatives of the Lin family and the Xue family, and even if it is paid off in three years, at least 12,000 taels of silver must be arranged in a year.

In other words, according to this rough estimate, starting from the eighth year of Yonglong, in the next three years, this Rongguo Mansion will not be able to live without 40,000 taels of silver every year.

But what about the income of Rongguo Mansion now? The salaries of the two masters add up to only more than 1,000 taels and less than 2,000 taels, which is a drop in the bucket, and the annual income of the Zhuangzi shop in the house is about 21,200 taels of silver, depending on the harvest situation, but after selling some Zhuangzi shops in order to repair the garden, this income may have plummeted to only about 17,000 taels.

In this way, the deficit in the past three years will have to be 70,000 taels, where will the 70,000 taels of silver come from? This is not counted, in case Jia Yuanchun needs to be counted in the palace, the number will not be important.

As for borrowing money from relatives, Wang Xifeng didn't dare to count it, and no one knew how to pay it back.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Wang Xifeng is reluctant to have the power in her hand, and she also knows that her private money of tens of thousands of taels of silver cannot withstand much toss, and she has to plan for her future.

How are you going to do it? At present, Feng Ziying singled out the affairs of the Lai family and said, then Wang Xifeng still doesn't understand, it's time to kill the pig, otherwise the master's family will have nothing to eat.

"Brother Cong, the Lai family is not so active, not to mention that Mama Lai is very affectionate with the ancestors, Lai Da is not easy to be with his generation, and the relationship in the house is deep-rooted, even the two masters are not willing to provoke him easily."

Wang Xifeng's focused expression when thinking about the problem made Feng Ziying very eye-catching, especially a pair of bare feet unconsciously stretched out of the skirt, and the white and red toes smeared with impatiens juice were confusing, making him a little distracted.

didn't hear Feng Ziying's reply, Wang Xifeng was so ashamed that he quickly withdrew his foot, kicked the other party again, and almost kicked Feng Ziying out of bed, "Death!" I'm going to get down to business. ”

"Huh?" Feng Ziying stumbled and hurriedly sat down.

Ping'er also hurriedly twisted her face to the side, the situation between grandma and Uncle Feng was too spicy, she couldn't dare to look at it.

"It's true that the Lai family is not moving, but do you Jia family have any good choices?" Feng Ziying sneered, "Dead Dao friends don't die and poor Dao, Sister Feng'er, you first tell the two aunts about the current situation in your mansion and tell them to listen, they will know it in their hearts, if they want to ask you for a way, you can reveal Lai Shangrong's donation of officials, and they will understand it when they touch it, the old ancestor is there, don't pick it out for the time being, move first, the old ancestor asks, and then explains, what she can understand is nothing more than leaving a decent face for the Lai family in the end,......"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was silent, Feng Ziying smiled again, "Don't worry, as long as you talk to the eldest aunt, it is estimated that Yu Shibo will take the initiative to come to you to discuss, well, you might as well let him take the lead, and the old lady can also let him take the lead first, he is a serious family member in the house,......"
