Chapter 1852 No credit

"Eighteen clans are all from Zhenglan Banner, and they all owe money to Brother Nine?"

Kangxi's face darkened when he heard this: "Is this because the ninth elder brother is under the banner and has junior qualifications than them, so he is bullying the ninth elder brother?"

Brother Jiu is the current prince, and they dare to bully him. Do they still care about him as the emperor?

Zhao Chang saw that he had misunderstood him and did not dare to delay. He hurriedly handed over the documents in his hands and said: "These clan men did not borrow money from Master Jiu. They are the winter accounts of Master Jiu's vegetable shop..."

Kangxi was confused when he heard it, so he took the note and opened it to read.

When he saw clearly that what he wanted was the account in the shop, the maximum was ninety-eight taels of silver per household, and the minimum was four taels, eight cents and three cents of silver per household, his expression froze.

Looking at the total, it's really not that much. It adds up to just over 600 taels of silver.

He didn't know that this was only half of the vegetable shop's bill.

There is also the account of the honorable family, which is ranked behind the clan members, and I didn't have time to clear it today.

This is only a small part of the list of nine Baylor Mansion's accounts to be settled.

It's not that these nobles have forgotten their dignity and want to take advantage of Jiubele Mansion's account.

It's just that high-ranking households have regulations, and the accountants in the shop go to settle the accounts.

No one has been arranged to go to Jiubele Mansion. The amount of this account is still small, so no one cares about it, and few companies will take the initiative to go there and settle the account.

As for other small households, they are not yet qualified to open accounts at vegetable shops, and they are not rich enough to buy Dongzi vegetables one after another. Most of them save winter vegetables and eat them themselves.

Kangxi cleared his throat and said, "What's going on? Is it because they refused to pay back the debt that Brother Nine sent Cao Shun to collect the debt?"

Since Zhao Chang wanted to come to the imperial court to report back, he also inquired about everything.

"According to the rules of the capital, all shops must clear their accounts before the end of the year. Most of them start around the time of Laba. There is no movement from Master Jiu. It is probably because they were not available before, so it was half a month later than others..."

Kangxi snorted softly and said: "It's really the uncle who owes the debt. Since it is the rule of the capital to settle the debt before and after Laba, why don't they follow the rules? Or are they bullying the ninth elder brother for his tenderness? The ninth elder brother's shop is not the first.

The year is there, I haven’t heard of anyone who owed money in previous years, but this year they dared to do so, who gave them the courage?!"

Kangxi immediately thought of Prince Xinjun’s Palace and Prince Anjun’s Palace.

Those two families all had old grudges with Jiubele Mansion, and they had the most side clans.

Speaking of which, Zhenglan Banner only granted four clans, the descendants of Yongzhuang Baylor, the descendants of Prince Rao Yu, the descendants of Prince Yutong and the descendants of Duke Jie Zhi.

It's just that Duke Jie Zhi once resigned from the clan and later returned to the clan with a low title, less than eight points. The titles of his children and grandchildren were even lower. He probably didn't have the guts to rely on Brother Jiu.

Kangxi couldn't help but become a little worried.

Brother Jiu's temper is black as black and white as white. How can he be reconciled with others?

Failure to repay this debt could be considered a temptation by the Zhenglan Banner clan.

He asked Zhao Changdao: "What is Brother Jiu doing?"

Zhao Chang was ready to give instructions, took out another folded leaf from his sleeve, held it up with both hands, and said: "The ninth master was in the study in the morning, and later the tenth master and his family came, so he accompanied him to the inner courtyard."

Kangxi answered it and saw that at a certain moment, the ninth elder brother entered the study and sent He Yuzhu to find Cao Shun; at a certain moment, the tenth elder brother arrived with his wife and children, and the ninth elder brother left the study; at a certain moment, the ninth elder brother

The elder brother and the tenth elder brother took the little elder brother and little princess to the garden to ride a deer...

Kangxi couldn't help but be suspicious.

Isn't today the first day of the Yamen sealing?

These two brothers walk together every morning and evening, and even get together during holidays.

This day was too leisurely.

Coax the little brother, little princess to ride a deer, luckily they can think of it.

He recalled that in the first month of the new year, he met Jiu Age and his wife taking their three children to play with an ice car.

The old couple behaved differently from other people. Instead of raising their children well, they only thought about how to play with them.

A good child has to be kidnapped.

Humph, it really doesn’t reassure anyone at all.

Scroll further, and as expected, I came home early the day before and did nothing else. I just played with my children.

"Snapped!"

Kangxi slapped the note on several cases and said to Zhao Chang: "I want to hear the follow-up of the accounts demanded by Baylor Mansion. As for these trivial matters in Baylor Mansion, there is no need to report them in the future."

Zhao Chang responded and retreated.

Kangxi couldn't help complaining to Liang Jiugong: "It's so embarrassing to keep saying that you are the pillar of support in front of me. If you want to pay, you have to pay. Just ask the accountant to go there privately according to the rules. He also directly sent the chief of ceremonies, for fear that others would not know that he was there.

Be on guard against others defaulting on your account!"

If he had to pay too much, he would end up with a few taels of silver or dozens of taels of silver, forcing him to exert the momentum of one thousand, eight hundred taels.

Not even a shred of dignity is left to anyone.

If someone else found an opportunity, they would naturally not give Brother Jiu any face.

Liang Jiugong thought about Brother Jiu's temper and said, "Master Jiu is impatient. He probably wants to save trouble and doesn't want to quarrel with others."

Kangxi snorted softly.

Is this because you don’t want to argue?

This simply means that he doesn’t want to interact with the clan anymore.

It’s really easy enough.

He picked up the note that had just been placed on the table and carefully read Brother Jiu's movements throughout the day.

It must have been Brother Jiu's whim to send Cao Shun to settle the account.

I'm still so irritable and impatient, and I can't think long term when things happen.

Whenever she was around, Fujin would probably give her some advice.

However, thinking about Dong E's "obeying the husband's orders" behavior, I may not advise him.

Now that the ministry is sealed, the imperial government affairs have not stopped.

Kangxi had no time to spare, otherwise, he really wanted to send Brother Jiu to the imperial court to teach him a lesson...

Jiubele Mansion, west room of the main room.

Brother Ninth is meeting Cao Shun.

Cao Shun had a stable temperament and would not be jealous in front of Brother Nine, but he also did not cover up for those princes and generals.

When he goes out for a walk, he represents Brother Jiu's dignity. Do those people think he is the only one who is crowding?

When beating a dog, you still need to look at the owner.

If those people were not angry in front of him, didn't they know that he would report it to Ninth Prince?

They know.

They also wanted to let Brother Jiu know their dissatisfaction.

Brother Jiu heard this and said with disdain: "This is also a yellow belt man? He doesn't understand the principle of repaying debts. How can he be embarrassed when he comes to settle accounts and shames himself? Life is poor, so just keep your mouth shut!"

It is a custom in the capital that every family stores winter vegetables.

Chinese cabbage and radish are enough.

Where should I go to a vegetable shop to buy food?

Since he is greedy, shouldn't he settle the account?

There are clan members on the line, but many people have never met each other and just want to eat and drink for free. Why?

Brother Ninth thought of Shu Shu's property, which all had signs saying, "Young and old men are innocent, no credit will be given."

It is the only one among the trading houses in Beijing.

Who knows that most of the banner people are die-hard farmers, receiving money and rice on a monthly basis, and have no savings, so they develop a habit of credit.

When the money and rice arrive next month, you can settle last month's accounts.

As for the money and rice, what will happen to the livelihood?

That's another round of credit.

As for defaulting...

There must be some, but the number is really small. If someone really wants to be a fool, others will not give him credit if they know about it.

Earlier, after Brother Ninth was assigned to various shops, he didn't pay much attention to taking care of them.

Now that I have had this experience of settling accounts, I finally understand that the most indispensable thing in this world is shameless people.

When it comes to feelings, it's true that he's in debt, but it seems like he's wrong in asking for debt.

Brother Jiu then told Cao Shun: "Go back and tell the outside manager that the shop under my name will follow the example of Fujin's shop and put up a sign saying 'no credit', so I don't want to make that useless money!"
