Magistrate Ji was calculating crazily in his mind. A tea mountain would require at least thirty people to take care of it! When picking tea and making tea, more people would be needed. One tea mountain, thirty, ten tea mountains would be three hundred
One hundred tea mountains... They don't have that many tea mountains in Jiangzhou, and the Ning family doesn't have that much money either.
He had to think of a way to buy more tea mountains so that the Ning family could put together a sum that they could afford.
"Just sixty thousand taels!" Magistrate Ji said. Sixty thousand taels of silver can buy a dozen tea mountains.
Six hundred thousand taels becomes sixty thousand, directly reduced by ten times.
Just sixty thousand taels? Mrs. Ning rolled her eyes. This was the amount that could only be obtained by selling off all the Ning family’s property!
"I, the Ning family, really can't afford this much money!" Master Ning looked at Magistrate Ji and said, with a look of pleading on his face.
Someone ridiculed: "Isn't the Ning family rich? Why can't they even get out 60,000 taels of silver?"
"that is."
"Husband..." Mrs. Ning tugged on Mr. Ning's sleeve and whispered: "It's really unnecessary. You have to pay the entire Ning family for something like this that will ruin the Ning family. You
Thinking about you, and then thinking about our son..."
Both of them have to take the imperial examination. It costs a lot of money to take the imperial examination. If the entire Ning family loses money just for such a prodigal thing, how will they take the imperial examination in the future? How will they pursue an official career?
This man! Everyone puts himself first, and Mr. Ning is no exception. He knows that his mother wants this younger brother to go back safely, and he also wants to be a filial son and satisfy my mother, but he cannot do it for this prodigal younger brother.
And to fulfill my mother's wish, I don't care about my own future and that of my son.
Mrs. Ning Er heard Mrs. Ning's words, but she didn't say anything. She is a man who is involved in everything, including food, drink, prostitution and gambling. She doesn't care about family affairs. She doesn't even know how old her children are. What does such a man want to do?
?Even if you get the person back, he may continue to lose the family. It is better to let the Ning family keep some property so that when the children grow up, they can share some of it.
Ning Zheng didn't know that even his wife had given up on him.
Mr. Ning said that if he chooses the first method of judgment, the Ning family will not pay any compensation and let Ning Zheng be exiled.
The people who were watching all accused Mr. Ning of being ruthless, even risking the life of his biological brother just because of 60,000 taels of silver.
Ning Zheng even scolded Ning Qing directly in court for not being a human being, scolding him for not saving him just to swallow up all the Ning family's property. Ning Qing was so angry that he almost fainted.
Mrs. Ning protected her husband domineeringly and scolded Ning Zheng for being a prodigal. In just a few decades, he almost completely destroyed the Ning family's ancestral business. She also deceived the family and said that he was unworthy of the Ning family's ancestors.
Ning Zheng was cursing and cursing more and more harshly. Finally, he was silenced by the yamen servant and he became quiet.
Although the Ning family chose to exile Ning Zheng, Magistrate Ji changed the sentence. The man had to be exiled, and the tea trees, the workshop, and the money of the injured people also had to be compensated.
The Ning family had lost all face today and did not dare to say anything anymore. They obediently accompanied Yinzi and left Ning Zheng to walk away in despair.
The common people were filled with regrets and hoped that the Ning family would lose their money so that the Shen Dong family could buy more tea mountains and they could also work in the Shen Dong family's tea mountains! Who knew that the Ning family would rather ask for money than Ning Ning?
Second Master’s life.
On the way home, Master Ning talked to Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning. After letting them go back, he told the old lady that it was the prefect who had sentenced them to exile, and he also told his servants not to do anything in front of the old lady.
Nonsense.
After returning home, the three of them told Mrs. Ning the results. When the old lady heard this, she rolled her eyes and passed away, which lasted all day and night.
