I wonder if the Duke Cao's mansion wants brothers to be killed, but the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion is already tense.

Zhao Sili looked at her son who had just felt heartbroken and scolded her for being righteous, and said calmly, "Are you questioning your father?"

My father's eyes were very cold, and in an instant, Zhao Shi suddenly thought of those high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court.

He suddenly realized that his father had really changed. He was no longer the father who used to smile all day long, occasionally swearing in the streets and alleys with a little chivalrous spirit, convinced the neighbors of the stingy.

The father and son are heading towards the father-son relationship of a wealthy family.

A country is a dynasty, and a family is also a country.

In the court, the monarch, minister, father and son are also the monarch, minister, father and son in the family. The monarch is the main body of the minister, and the father is the main body of the son. If the monarch wants his minister to die, his minister has to die, and the father and son have to die, but he dare not die.

"Son doesn't dare!"

Zhao Sili sat upright in the chair of the Grand Master. The heavy rains over the past few days have made the old injuries on his body feel so heart-warming that he couldn't sleep all night and was exhausted.

"If you don't take charge of your business, you don't know how expensive it is!"

Zhao Shi imagined that his father's thunderous anger did not come, but Zhao Sili was very calm.

"You said that the court had strict orders and could not connect officials and businessmen. I know! But I ask you, which noble family in the Ming Dynasty and which senior official had no business?"

"You said that the Lotus Hall will ruin our family's reputation in the future, and you also said that it would lose the face of the Queen and the Prince."

"You also said that your mother and I are poor and have forgotten our duty, and have been in a high position and have forgotten our sense of duty."

Zhao Sili looked at her son and shook her head, "Then I ask you, do you know how much money our family has?"

"I think it's enough food and clothing!" Zhao Shi whispered.

"Ha!" Zhao Sili smiled, "When your sister was not the queen, our family had a total of 726 taels of silver, and some minus and some chunks. After your sister became the queen, my annual salary was 1,500 shi."

As he said that, he sighed, "But in the past I only wanted to raise you, mother and son, to help your elder sister. But now there are 287 people in the entire Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. In addition to people, there are mules and horses, and there are also maintenance of the mansion and houses!"

"The servants at home also represent our family's face. They have eight sets of clothes all year round, and monthly silver and food. Now our family is not happy for a long time after eating a pound of pork head meat!"

"Do you know how much it costs?"

"Our family has some farms, which are all given by the emperor. There is only so much profit every year, and tenants will be exempted every few days to show that we are a kind family."

"Do you think, how much money can our family have left every year?"

Zhao Shi's mind was in chaos, and he wanted to refute but didn't know where to speak.

"The expenses at home are small, big...haha!" Zhao Sili continued, "Before the New Year, the New Year gifts sent by the Duke of Zheng State, a truck of marten from Liaodong, various precious medicinal materials and porcelain were worth 1,500 yuan in cash."

"The things given by others can only be put into the warehouse. I can't take the Chang family to send them to the Guo family, right? Do we also need to prepare the gifts for the return? How much is my annual salary? What should I get?"

"Friends and relationships are the big deal. Our family saves money in this regard and does not do enough etiquette. Who will be embarrassed?"

"Also, take it as an example. The four guards in the palace are in charge of the military commander of each family. Do you also need to send some? Don't think that you are the uncle. Any guard in the palace is stronger than ours. Why should people take care of you?"

"Interpersonal communication requires money, human relationships and worldly affairs require money, and family also requires money!"

"And your sister!" Zhao Sili sighed, "Will she be in the palace reward slaves during festivals? Should she be rewarded with a wife? Speaking of which, this is also the low-ranking family. Your sister, the queen, has no confidence and dares to be respected by outsiders, so she can only use her private house to reward people!"

"Do we have to give this money as much as possible?"

After saying something, Zhao Shi was silent.

"I will tell you now that our family not only has the stocks of Lianhuatang, the meat shop in the South City and the oil shop in the West City, but also has two large brands to give our family filial piety!"

"In addition to these, the monthly filial piety money received by the Bingmasi is also one of you." Zhao Sili sneered, "I told you this money, maybe you want to come with you again. This money is to collect the safety money of the Qinhuai River pleasure boat and the city's flower streets and willows and alleys!"

"Originally, my father was 370 taels a year, because I wanted to keep the position of the Bingma Si, I had to give three hundred taels to Shangguan of Yingtian Mansion. Now, my father was 4,000 taels a year."

"In addition to these, there are also the filial piety of the North Court and the carriage and horse carriage of the East Street, and the filial piety sent to the Bingmasi. You also have a share every month!"

As he said that, Zhao Sili stood up and limped to his son, "I'll ask you now, can the family be maintained if you don't have this money?"

Speaking of this, he pulled the new clothes on his son, "Do you know how much this cost? Whose person is lost when we live a poor life?"

"You think your father is wrong, you think your father is like a corrupt official, you think your father is a majestic, you think your father is a majestic, you think your father and your mother are jealous of money!"

"Who are we for?"

"Will you spend a lot of money when you get married in the future?" Zhao Sili suddenly lowered his voice, "The prince is old in the future, should he use money?"

Suddenly, Zhao Shi looked up and his eyes met his father, and Yu stubbornly felt a little at a loss.

"But!" he said stubbornly, "Dad, this is not right! If we do business, our family can do it openly. It's like investing in Lotus Hall, and he is raising prices under the banner of our family..."

"One, tell me, who can do business, and do we have any disciples who can do business and make money? Second, tell me, who doesn't do that?"

"Only children are right or wrong, adults only talk about reality!" Zhao Sili patted his son on the shoulder, "Since you are old, you should know the difficulties of maintaining this family!"

As he said that, he smiled, "Didn't I ask you just now, do you know how much money our family has now?"

Zhao Shi nodded confusedly.

"The family is poor, the family is low, and the filial piety is little! It's not as good as the other man and the marquis!" Zhao Sili slowly walked to the ancient shelf, opened the drawer, and smiled slowly, "It's just a passing God of Wealth!"

As he said that, he suddenly turned around.

And the next second, Zhao Shi widened his eyes.

Because his father's hand was a stack of votes.

"You tell your father a big reason, but how can you know that your father's is not easy!" Zhao Sili shook off the ticket in her hand, "Next month is your mother's birthday, and your sister will return to the province... It's just a few days to stay in my mother's house. There are more than 200 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace alone, and there are 500 guards accompanying him."

"Our family wants to welcome you...what do you think I'll welcome you?"

In an instant, Zhao Shi's heart was blocked and tears blocked his eyes.

The court meeting continued in the Ganqing Palace.

"The court will have a big expenditure next!" Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a while, and said the truth, "Relief of the disaster victims is a lot of money, and the bigger the amount is the post-disaster reconstruction!"

"If you rebuild Sizhou Prefecture City, each person cannot get 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, and the civilians cannot work in vain. The daily rations are astronomical numbers."

"The fields and livestock of the victims must also be cleared and cleared, the canals must be strengthened, and the river embankments must be strengthened...."

As he said that, Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, "The disaster came happily, but it couldn't be relieved for a year or two after the disaster. I guessed that this was not a matter of one shot, but a matter of throwing it in forever, but it was a matter of throwing it in for years!"

Zhu Yunyu walked to the window, didn't say anything at first, and looked at Zhang Yu for a moment of contemplation.

"Ministry of Revenue, can you take out the money?"

"Yes, but..." Zhang Feng was very embarrassed. "The folk saying goes, you always have to have money to cross the river, right?" He said, sighing, "When the autumn taxes in various places are still half a year later. We have to ensure that there is no place to spend money in the past six months!"

"But..." He sighed again, "The King of Yan in Liaodong is spending money, the border is concerned, the town of Gansu is spending money, the ancestral tombs, the imperial tombs of Fengyang, the army... You also need money to build ships..."

"It really doesn't work!" Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said, "The Ministry of Revenue's Ticket Bank..."

"No!" Zhu Yunxiu said decisively, "That is the credibility of our Ming Dynasty, you can't move around!"

As he said that, he frowned and looked at the Arhat bed. There were exquisite imperial meals on the kang table.

"The cost in the palace cannot be reduced..."

"I know, it's a drop in the bucket!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted Zhang Feng.

"I have an idea!" Censor Yang Jing said, "It's possible..." He paused, as if he had made a great decision, "Give the treasure money again!"

"No!" Zhu Yunxiu shook his head again, "That's paper. I can't do it if the money from the people is confiscated and the butts are hard for them!"
