As soon as Jia Huan returned to Wangyueju, he called the head of Jia Zheng to Rongxi Hall, and the little magpie who was waiting in the backyard of Wangyueju was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: Ma Daopo came again today and gave things to her aunt and grandmother. If www.biquge.info aunt and grandmother are to find out, they will die.

At the same time, in a courtyard to the west of the front yard of Rongguo Mansion, several tables and bookcases were placed in the room that temporarily served as the residence of the leading group of the Jiafu Rectification Movement. The room is full of forms, materials, and information.

Seven young men from the clan were busy working as scribes. At the beginning, dozens of graduates of the training class have experienced the business cases of Songhua Eggs, experienced internships in various industries in Jiafu, and experienced the suppression of Lai Da and others, and now these 7 particularly outstanding young people are selected. They are good enough to do the copywriting work of the rectification movement.

Jia Qiang was dressed in a light blue gown, wearing a Tang scarf, and a scholar's outfit, making her more and more handsome. At this time, as a member of the decision-makers of the rectification movement, he paced back and forth in the open space of the room, his heart full of uneasy emotions.

He had already received the news that Uncle Huan had just called him to the Rongxi Hall to discuss the matter.

Recently, the information reported below has been more and more involved at the housekeeper level: there are many clues about Zhang Cai and Shan Daliang's corruption in the construction of the Grand View Garden. It is expected that the eldest master is going to be in trouble. Because, in the construction of the Grand View Garden, the most corrupt and polluted, everyone in the house knows that it is the eldest lord Jia Amnesty.

And once Uncle Huan does not resist the pressure of the old man, then this vigorous and eye-catching rectification movement will fail. He went out to eat and drink recently, and everyone outside heard about it, and it was said that it was because Uncle Huan's speech spread throughout the capital.

How could he be willing to fail in rectification?

Jia Qiang walked out of the room anxiously, called her little servant over, and instructed: "You go to wait outside the Rongxi Hall, and come back to inform me if there is news." ”

…

…

Rongxi Hall is a five-room main house in the middle of Jiafu. When Jia Huan arrived, the pillars and courtyards outside were waiting for Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and a few housekeepers from Shan Daliang. In the twilight, more than a dozen people stood quietly outside.

Seeing Jia Huan coming, all the housekeepers and servants smiled and said hello, "Say hello to the third master." ”

Jia Huan nodded, walked through the door plaque of "Book to Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan", and walked into the Rongxi Hall.

Rongxi Hall is a place for daily major meetings and political socialization in Jiafu. Magnificent. On the large red sandalwood carving case on the front, there is a three-foot-high blue-green bronze tripod, on which hangs a large painting of the ink dragon to be leaked. There are 16 nanmu chairs in the ground.

At this time, Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, Jia Rong, and Jia Lian were already here. Bright candles were lit in two rows, illuminating the interior of the Rongxi Hall.

Jia Yu glanced at Jia Huan, snorted coldly in his nostrils, and drank tea slowly with a teacup.

Jia Huan ignored Jia Yu's hostile attitude, and bowed to Jia Zheng, "The son has seen his father. In fact, when he returned to Jiafu at the end of last year, he had already torn his face with Jia Yu. The biggest obstacle to his power inside and outside the Jia Mansion is Jia Yu.

Jia Zheng nodded slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Brother Huan'er is here." "He has a bit of an opinion about Jia Huan. There is such a big momentum in the house, every day you report me, I report you, it's a mess. Not liked by him. He likes to be quiet.

Moreover, he was in the General Administration Department and heard his colleagues talking about it. When relatives and friends in the world came and went, they often mentioned Jia Huan's speech and asked him what was going on in his house. The discussion boiled, and his face was gloomy. Where is the reason for mistreating people? They have a reputation for being kind and generous, and treating their subordinates leniently.

Another one, he told his eldest brother and son at the end of last year that they were not allowed to check each other's accounts. And now, his concubine took the opportunity to check the account of the Grand View Garden. His eldest brother came to him, which made him unhappy.

Jia Rong and Jia Lian both stood up and said, "Uncle Huan, Brother Huan." ”

Although Jia Lian was very dissatisfied with Jia Huan's disrespect for his brother, and because Jia Huan was estranged from Jia Huan when he was involved in the examination fraud, there was a rift in the relationship, but in this rectification movement, Jia Huan gave him a position, and promoted him and Jia Rong (patriarch) to the position of the heir of Rongguo Mansion, which made him more convinced.

Jia Huan nodded and sat down. The little guy came to the tea and retreated.

Jia Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Huan'er, what's going on in the house recently?" Didn't I let you check Jia Qin's business? How did it come to this? It's a big deal. The capital knows everything. ”

Jia Yu sneered on the side: "What else can happen? The career is unsatisfactory, and he is idle in the Hanlin Academy, so he comes to the house to toss. Engage in the set of 'those who follow me, and those who oppose me die'. It's majestic! Are there any of us elders in your eyes? ”

There is a lot of resentment.

Jia Huan still ignored Jia Yu. Jia Yu is actually not entirely right. The party is the same as the other, which is what he must do when he is in charge of the power inside and outside Jiafu. He also engaged in a routine: "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong".

The reason for carrying out the rectification campaign is that Jiafu has reached the stage of not being able to rectify it. The people and things in the entire house are being empty and idling, causing great waste. In the end, Jiafu couldn't make ends meet, and there was only an empty shell left.

In the seventy-second chapter of the original book of the Red Mansion, Jia Lian asked the mandarin duck to borrow money: in the past two days, because of the old lady's thousand years, all the thousands of taels of silver have been used. Several rents and land taxes were only paid in September, and they couldn't be connected at this time. Ming'er wants to send gifts to Nan'an Mansion again, and she has to prepare for the Double Ninth Festival Ceremony of the mother, as well as a few red and white gifts, at least three or two thousand taels of silver, and it is difficult to borrow it for a while...

This was the autumn of the fifteenth year of the Red Mansion. If Jiafu is not rectified, it will definitely look like this: left and right. I didn't even have a cash flow of a few thousand taels of silver. Sad, sad.

The purpose of rectification: to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the upper and lower levels of Jiafu in the construction of the Grand View Garden, and recover the accounts. It is necessary to put an end to waste, greed, and corruption. Establish a new rule.

Rectification has the purpose of rectification. At the same time, the rectification will also involve Jia Yulai. Because, everyone knows that Jia Yu is the most greedy in the construction of the Grand View Garden.

In order to avoid Jia Mansion being fabricated in the future, raiding his home, exile, and killing his head, Jia Huan must suppress the pig teammates in Jia Mansion and prohibit them from making trouble. Among the pig teammates, only Jia Yu is still not suppressed by him.

Through the rectification movement, Jia Huan wants to collect all the power inside and outside Jiafu, and the biggest obstacle to seizing the dominance of Jiafu is also Jia Yu.

When Jia Yu vented his dissatisfaction with Jia Huan, where did he think that Jia Huan was originally intent on making trouble for him?

Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong.

Jia Huan said to Jia Zheng: "Father, I have already checked the matter of Jia Qin. He confessed his sins and was willing to repent. I sent him to the village at the foot of Xiangshan to plant land for two years. Labor reform. However, the situation in the mansion that was involved by Jia Qin was shocking, and his son had to investigate, but he didn't dare not investigate. ”

Jia Huan handed Jia Zheng the information sorted out by the leading group of the rectification movement in his hand, "This is the real situation in the mansion revealed by the subordinates, which is terrifying." The son is going back to his father tonight.

There are roughly five ways to earn income in the prefecture. First, my father and uncle have a total of about 3,000 taels of silver every year. Second, the reward of the concubine is about 100 gold a year, which is equivalent to 1,000 taels of silver. Third, the reward of the Son of Heaven's Layue Spring Festival. It's not much, but it's decent. Fourth, ground rent. When the year is good, the house is 20,000 silver a year. In Dongfuli, 10,000 taels of silver a year. Fifth, the various shops and businesses purchased in the government. However, our family was not a businessman. The business and shops in the house only earn about 1,000 taels of silver a year (the loss is very serious).

Total income: twenty-four thousand taels (24,000).

And what about the expenditures? There were 1,103 people in the prefecture at this time. The monthly amount of silver is about 8,500 taels of silver. Then there are daily expenses for food, clothing, and consumption, and the statistics of the past years have not yet come out. Last year, the necessary expenditure for this alone was 6,000 taels.

Again, all kinds of chores, service costs. The cost of maintaining the Grand View Garden. According to rough estimates, last year it cost 4,500 taels of silver.

In addition, there are 10,000 taels of rewards, purchases, festivals, birthday banquets, and old friendships.

Converted, usually calculated, it will lose 5,000 taels of silver a year. If it is a famine year, the land rent will be halved (only 10,000 taels of income). If it continues like this, no matter how thick the family in the house is, it will be ruined. ”

After Jia Huan finished speaking "sincerely", he didn't say anything else, just looked at Jia Zheng like this.

Jia Zheng's face had changed at this time, and he held the Nanmu chair with his palm. The dissatisfaction with Jia Huan in his heart disappeared.

Although he is in charge, he does not know the value of firewood and rice. Listening to Jia Huan's data, he was already very shocked in his heart. How serious is the situation? What happens if you don't have money, this is something that anyone can figure out.

It should be noted that the data Jia Huan said is the silver in Jiafu, not the private treasury and private money. For example, Jia's mother has 80,000 taels of private money alone. Wang Xifeng's private money, when he raided his house, had 60,000 or 70,000 taels. Mrs. Wang, it is estimated that it will not be much worse than Wang Xifeng. There are Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Huan, all of whom are not short of money. Jia Yu bought a concubine, and threw 800 taels of silver into it.

This is somewhat similar to the United States of later generations. The state is heavily indebted, and the salaries of civil servants cannot be paid, and it has even been suspended for a period of time. But to say that Americans are poor, this is really not true.

That's what happened. The question is, who will take their own money and use it in the public of Jia Mansion?

There are really few people with such noble sentiments. Very rare.

This responsibility, Jia Zheng, as the head of Jiafu, must be carried. The point is, he can't carry it! Even if he and Mrs. Wang's family has 80,000 taels and loses 5,000 taels a year, it is not a disaster year, and it will only be 16 years.

At that time, he was only in his sixties, and he was still alive, could he see Jiafu scattered?
