After Brother Jiu ordered him to go down, the treasurer did not dare to delay and handed over the Dingkou booklet the next day.

Among the dozens of families who are unable to repay their loans, there are 16 families without errands. They are basically families of the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled.

If there was a man who could support the family, he would have taken care of the job long ago.

Brother Ninth took a closer look at the conditions, such as deafness, lameness, ugly appearance, etc., which do not affect the work and can grow vegetables.

For those with diseases such as tuberculosis, gas diseases, etc. that make it impossible to do the job, it depends on whether there are any female relatives in the family who can handle the job, or if a half-grown man can be used as a half-year-old to make up for the job.

Pulling in, pulling out, the family sent an errand.

Although growing vegetables is harder, there is money and food available.

After the assignment was made, Brother Jiu put it down and stopped worrying about it.

Seeing that the Internal Affairs Office had no intention of being accommodating, the principal and interest of Guangshanku's loan had to be repaid in full, and some were handed over one after another.

However, very few people repay the full amount. Some are lucky, some are not willing to pay, and some are deceived by others who borrowed their names.

The one who is lucky is Tuo Heqi.

The one who didn't join in was Cao Quan.

The person who was deceived was Lin Qing, the father of Lin Gege in Yuqing Palace and the grandfather of the third elder brother.

Tuo Heqi borrowed 118,000 taels, and has paid back 78,000 taels, and there is still 40,000 taels that have not been repaid, but it is not in his name, which shows that he is also cautious, fearing that he will be regarded as a standout.

I withheld 40,000 taels and still wanted to wait and see.

With Guangshanku's current situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to borrow money from outside the country in the future, and it will not be as easy as before.

Cao Quan has borrowed two thousand taels here, and he just lent them last month.

He is a fifth-grade bodyguard, and his salary is not high. His family has some income from property, but his expenses are also high. He also likes to buy antique calligraphy and paintings, and his savings are limited.

Of the 5,000 taels of banknotes handed over to Brother Jiu's house, 2,000 taels were borrowed from Guangshan Ku.

However, for the Cao family, the two thousand taels of silver could still be transferred. Cao Quan directly sent several gold items at home to the pawn shop to be pawned, and repaid the loan from Guangshanku.

When Cao Shun learned the news, he was a little confused.

Should things be redeemed?

He was holding 5,000 taels of banknotes, and it seemed very unfilial to see his father pawning things.

But if you use this sum of money, you will inevitably be questioned by your family. Then the matter of withholding calligraphy, painting and money will be exposed.

But when he found out that his family had sent a letter to Jiangning, he gave up any thought of redemption.

It's good to give your uncle a warning, so that he can learn from it.

The main thing is that Cao Shun didn't think that the five thousand taels of silver were his own. He always felt that it belonged to Brother Jiu, and he just kept it temporarily.

There are slaves who work for their masters, but there are no masters who work for their slaves.

He worked as an errand beside Brother Ninth for two full years. Although he struggled a little, he still had a future.

If you want anything else, you deserve it.

Therefore, Cao Shun did not intend to touch the eight kinds of calligraphy and painting, or the five thousand taels of banknotes. He planned to find an opportunity to return to the prince's mansion in filial piety.

Lin Qing borrowed 20,000 taels of silver from the Li family in his early years. He was unable to repay it, so he had to go to Yuqing Palace.

The Li family had long since disappeared due to crimes such as secretly concealing tributes from Yuqing Palace.

Although the Lin family has a daughter from the East Palace, she is from an ordinary family and has been suppressed by the Li family in recent years.

He couldn't raise twenty thousand taels by selling pots and iron, so he had to boldly go to Yuqing Palace to ask for an audience.

The money was taken away by the Li family, and they all disposed of it, but there was also brother Hong Xi.

The prince has met.

He has been in a gloomy mood these days because of the issue of the distribution of Duanyang tribute.

Although he knew that Princess Rongxian, as the eldest daughter of the emperor, had dignity in front of the emperor, the prince was still unhappy.

He even complained about Princess Rongxian.

After coming back from a thousand miles away, she was such a filial daughter, and she was favored to live in her elder brother's house and was given a banquet in front of the emperor.

Why?

If Concubine Rong was really guilty, Princess Rongxian should have kept her tail between her legs!

Even if the disaster does not affect the married woman, she should not be promoted like this.

He also complained about Kangxi.

He only said that he valued him as the prince, but Kangxi also loved the concubines in the harem and the concubine princes.

The Lin family asked for a meeting, and the prince was a little surprised.

This place was rarely visited before.

With the death of the Li family and Akedun's mother and son, the prince's dislike for the Li family has faded a lot, remembering the days when the Li family's children were outside listening to his orders in the early years.

Now that the Lin family came together, he also wanted to see how the Lin family was doing.

"Prince, my family really has no choice. Twenty thousand taels of silver is too much and I can't afford to make up for it. I would like to ask for a favor and see if I can pay it back in installments..."

Lin Qing met the prince, paid his respects, and conveyed his family's prayers.

The prince frowned and said, "How can I repay it in years?"

According to the ten-year installment, it is also two thousand taels per year.

The Lin family was a servant and lived in an official house. Neither father nor son were officials, so they only received a small salary. However, because of the birth of Princess Donggong, they were able to make up a dining room in Yuqing Palace to encourage their growth.

The prince then realized that the Lin family had not been mentioned before. After all, they were the grandson of the emperor, and they actually had no permanent property.

The money was borrowed by the Li family, and the Lin family took it for granted. The prince should have made up for the debt, but the prince knew that the Yuqing Palace accounts were less than 20,000 taels of silver.

Lin Qingdao: "My ancestors used to cook a pot. I want to ask the prince for a favor and take my family to Baoding Royal Village. Then I will open a pot and transport it to Zhangjiakou for selling."

After hearing this, the prince disapproved and said: "In the 30th and 32nd years, Khan Amma issued two orders prohibiting the burning of pots in Shuntian, Yongping, Baoding and Hejian. This move is inappropriate."

Lin Qingdao: "Since the government is banning it, but people are still making pots down there, the price of Shaojiu has also increased by several percent in the past two years, and the profits are huge."

The prince said: "You can't blatantly violate the law. Even if you want to build a pot, it must be placed outside Baoding Mansion. You can choose a site in Zhending Mansion, or go north..."

After hearing this, Lin Qing hurriedly said: "The prince's instructions are that slaves must abide by the rules and laws and do not place any cooking pots in Baoding Mansion."

The prince also knew that Mongolians loved soju and thought Lin Qing's idea was a good one.

If the cooking pot is really finished, Yuqing Palace will be able to make more money in the future.

He ordered the eunuch in charge to take five thousand taels of banknotes and hand them to Lin Qing, saying: "I will say hello to Guang Shanku. You pay back the two thousand first, and keep the remaining three thousand taels. When you return, you will return home."

Pack up and go to Huangzhuang..."

Lin Qing hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince!"

He took the banker's ticket with both hands and stepped back gratefully. He was not at all dissatisfied at being borrowed by the Li family to borrow money.

The prince was left behind, thinking about the financial situation of Yuqing Palace, and was worried about it.

Thinking again of Lin Qingti's Baoding Imperial Mansion, which was originally bought to Akedun, the prince felt a little sad...

The matter of Guangshanku is a hot topic right now.

The eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace went to Guangshanku. Everyone in the palace watched, and the news quickly spread everywhere.

Then the news came out that Yuqinggong Gege's natal family owed 20,000 taels of silver. Along with this news, the Li family owed 20,000 taels and Ling Pu owed 20,000 taels.

These are all people related to Yuqing Palace, and they all have bad debts with nowhere to recover.

The treasurer of Guangshanku, as if his mother had died, went to the yamen of the hall again to ask for an audience with the ninth elder brother.

He didn't dare to be clever anymore.

The Li family has all lost their registration, and Ling Pu and his wife have been dead for several years. What should we do with these two sums of 20,000 taels?

When no one paid attention to it before, it could be hidden for a while. Now that it is revealed, it will be solved.

"Master Jiu, look at these two accounts, we can't recover them. Why don't we settle the accounts first and ask the Li family to recover them?"

"Master Jiu, look at these two accounts, we can't recover them. Why don't we settle the accounts first and ask the Li family to recover them?"

The treasurer said.

The Li family came from a family with many descendants. Although there were only two brothers, there were nine uncles, seven grandfathers, and many cousins.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "I've never heard of collecting debts from relatives. Are you trying to make me laugh?"

In the early years when Li Gege was prosperous, the Li family was indeed a bit like a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven, and it made up for a lot of shortcomings.

But everything was cleared from behind.

Li's brothers and nephews were all accused, and several uncles were also involved.

The remaining ones that can be preserved are all relatively distant, and they don't have much to borrow from Yuqing Palace.

At this time, we have to involve them and have to ransack their homes to collect the 20,000 taels, which is a bit bullying.
To be continued...
