Chapter 334 Planning

"Even if you don't have such an idea today, some people and forces will secretly add fuel to the fire and make you think of it and start implementing it!"

The elder smiled slightly and said something that made Lin Ruhai's face change slightly and the second master Zheng was confused.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai quickly regained his composure and asked directly: "Do you need my help?"

The second master Zheng was still confused and didn't understand what the elder master's plan was.

"I'm just letting you know in advance so that you don't become someone's assassin without even realizing it!"

The elder shook his head and said with a smile: "This time will definitely be a big trouble for Xungui Group, but if it is operated well, it will also be a big opportunity!"

Lin Ruhai understood immediately, and was a little moved at the same time, but in the end he sighed and said helplessly: "It's better for me not to get involved in such things, so as not to cause the Emperor's displeasure!"

This is the worst thing about being alone. There are obviously good speculation opportunities, but because of the preferences of the current emperor and the emperor, he has to give up such a great opportunity.

Because Lin Ruhai was an official in the imperial examination, he was classified as a member of the civil servants group by the honorary group. However, the civil servants group did not recognize Lin Ruhai's identity. In addition, because of his marriage to the Rongguo Mansion, he was regarded as half a member of the honorable group.

.

Speaking of which, he was not human inside and out. Fortunately, the elder had pulled him out of the fire pit in Yangzhou. Otherwise, even if he was trapped to death, he wouldn't have expected to get much sympathy.

Ningrong's second house was different. It was the backbone of the Xungui group at the beginning. Although it had been dormant for a long time because of the former prince, and even the two houses were in severe decline, it was still one of the important members of the Xungui circle.

Apart from other things, the names of the four major families in Jinling are still quite influential in the capital.

When the Ningrong and Ningfus fell silent, the Wang family and the Shi family rose up again. No matter what, outsiders regarded the four major families of Jinling as one, and at the same time they were also a powerful force within the Xungui Group.

The Xungui Group is a natural imperialist party, and can also be said to be a solid force supporting orthodoxy.

That is to say, the court is now facing the sky, otherwise the Xungui Group's momentum would not be suppressed, and the Wenchen Group has slowly begun to gain the upper hand. However, as a member of the Xungui Group, Ning Rong's second mansion still has considerable room for maneuver.

Big ones, at least don't have to be as timid as Lin Ruhai, worrying that his actions will cause dissatisfaction with the current emperor or the emperor.

The eldest master plans to seize this opportunity and make the four major families in Jinling rise to the top.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's look, the elder smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't get involved this time, just go with the flow!"

Lin Ruhai nodded silently, not having many regrets in his heart. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but for now, safety is the most important thing and not to act carelessly while the Supreme Emperor is still alive.

On the other side, Mr. Zheng Er asked curiously: "Brother, does the government owe money to the Ministry of Revenue?"

"nature!"

The eldest man nodded and said: "When our Rong Mansion was still in Jinling, we took over a royal mission, and also had to arrange for many veterans of the personal guard and other matters. We borrowed one million taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"Why so many?"

The second master Zheng was shocked and didn't believe it: "There seems to be no shortage of money in the house, right?"

"It was after the war at the founding of the People's Republic of China had subsided, so the government was not very short of money. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were wars every day, and the benefits gained from the government could not be realized, so we had to borrow money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to tide over the difficulties!"

Of course, there is also the meaning of hiding one's clumsiness, but there is no need for the elder to speak too clearly.

"Brother, if the government takes out one million taels of silver in one go and returns it to the Ministry of Revenue, I'm afraid it will break your muscles and bones!"

Mr. Zheng Er hesitated and said, "How about we take a look at the situation and then talk about it?"

"Don't worry about this!"

The eldest man said calmly: "How could my grandfather and father be so unprepared that we, our descendants, carry such a heavy burden?"

Ignoring the surprised look in Mr. Zheng's eyes, he smiled and said: "The secret store in the mansion has enough silver, which is just for repaying the money owed to the Ministry of Revenue!"

Speaking of this, the eldest man had to admire the foresight of the two Rongguo Dukes, and secretly arranged such a move, which saved him a lot of trouble.

If the old lady and Mrs. Wang had known that there was such a sum of money, they would have thought of ways to use it for themselves. They would not have cared about the huge impact it might have on the Rong Mansion by not paying back the money owed to the Ministry of Revenue.

Mr. Zheng Er was not in a very good mood, feeling depressed as if he was being marginalized.

Only when he knew that even the old lady didn't know that there was a secret vault in the mansion, he was completely relieved. Only the head of the family knew about the secret vault. It was obvious that the eldest master was the real head of the Rong Mansion.

"Not only Rongfu, but also Ningfu also owes a lot of money to the Ministry of Revenue. Just ask Brother Jing about this!"

The elder made a decision directly and solemnly said: "This time, the government must seize the opportunity to pay off the money owed to the household department and get the maximum benefit at the same time!"

Mr. Zheng Er asked doubtfully: "Brother, it is natural to pay back debts, how can you still get benefits?"

"Huh, what's the right thing to do?"

The elder sneered and said: "If this is really the case, there have been many silver shortages in the Ministry of Revenue before. Why haven't the powerful people who borrowed the money taken the initiative to repay it?"

this……

Mr. Zheng Er was at a loss for words. He said that borrowing money from the Ministry of Household Affairs seemed to be a trend in the officialdom. Usually, we only heard about how much money someone borrowed from the Ministry of Household Affairs to support their family. I had never heard of anyone taking the initiative to repay the money.

.

Even with his slowness, he also knew the inside story. Once someone stood out, they would face the collective hatred of the entire officialdom.

Thinking of the horror, he couldn't help but shudder, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he reminded: "Brother, if we stand out, will others attack us?"

"What are you afraid of?"

The elder sneered and said: "If you want to get benefits, how can you not take any risks?"

Seeing that the second master of Zheng was still worried, he said angrily: "Okay, let's build momentum first, and then we can repay the money in the name of helping the court solve its troubles, that's it!"

The elder made the decision directly. Neither Lin Ruhai nor the second master Zheng raised any objections, and the matter was settled.

However, the elder has to go back to the house later to convince the old lady and the others, otherwise the repayment of the money will cause trouble, which will not only cause great pressure outside, but also cause trouble in the house.

"What, take the initiative to pay off the bank account debt?"

After the old lady heard what the elder had thought, she opened her eyes wide and looked at him like a fool, glaring at him angrily and said dissatisfied: "Boss, are you crazy? Do you know how serious the consequences of doing this are?"

"Of course I know!"

The elder said calmly: "But the opportunity is rare. If the operation is good, Lian Er and Lao Er can go further, and even the two cousins ​​of the Shi family can benefit!"

"Is it worth it for just such a small benefit?"

The old lady was not stupid and sneered: "When the time comes, those officials who have borrowed money and don't want to pay it back will hate us to death!"

"Yes, uncle, such a thing is too risky!"

Mrs. Wang agreed, but she was extremely angry. There was actually a secret bank in the Rong Mansion, which contained at least one million taels of silver left by two previous Dukes.

She couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart at the thought of sending the money to the Ministry of Finance to pay off the debt.

It's a pity that she has been kept in the dark. If she had known that there was such a place, the money and other good things in it would have been taken away by her long ago!

Now that she heard that the eldest master wanted to repay the silver he owed, and the repayment was worth millions of taels, she was really angry. She had never seen such a prodigal person before.

What can I do to repay the money from the household department?

It's better to divide the money in the secret treasury, and the second house can get at least 300,000 taels of profit.

"This opportunity is great, I plan to pay back the money!"

The elder didn't bother to explain any more and said with a smile: "I will talk to the two cousins ​​of the Shi family and the powerful people of the Wang family later. It is best to let the four major families of Jinling take action together to gain a foothold in today's world.

color!"

"Boss, are you trying to piss me off?"

When the old lady heard this, she said angrily: "I firmly disagree. If you can do such an offending thing, how will the Rongguo Mansion be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future?"

Tsk tsk...

Not affected at all, the elder chuckled and said: "It's too early to say this now. When the old lady sees her current determination, she will know how to choose!"

After saying this, he did not mention the matter of repaying the money again, which made the old lady and Mrs. Wang feel very depressed, as if they were completely unqualified to intervene in such an important matter.

According to the eldest man, they, the housewives, really have no right to interfere.

After that, he made an appointment with the two princes of the Shi family and said straight to the point: "An opportunity to please the present may even give you the opportunity to lead troops abroad. Are you interested in participating?"

Of course Shijia Shuanghou was interested in participating in such a good thing.

But after they listened to the elder’s thoughts, they couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air and said in surprise: “Hou Hou, you are really courageous. You dare to do something like this!”

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The elder sneered and said: "This opportunity is rare, it depends on whether you dare to take the risk or not!"

Shi Jia Shuanghou quickly decided to take this risk.

Are you kidding me? To pay back the money at this point, even for the sake of face, I have to give them benefits. It can just help the Shijia Shuanghou get out of the current embarrassing situation.

They didn't want to stay in the capital anymore. They had no chance of getting ahead at all, so they might as well become local military governors.

However, they were also worried that they would encounter retaliation from the Xungui Group. It was not until they heard the big master's overall plan that they felt completely at ease and prepared for a big fight.

Both the Jia family and the Shi family agreed. It would be easy to convince the Wang family.

The elder wrote a letter directly to Wang Ziteng, and within a few days he received a reply, directly agreeing to the elder's risky move.

For Wang Ziteng, this matter is a few times to improve his current favorability. He will naturally not let it go, even though it will cause heavy losses to the Wang family.

Just when the eldest master was planning to pay back the money, the situation in the court was changing. Now I don't know if it was proactive or passive. When the household department had no money and he was not willing to take it from his private treasury, he came up with the idea of ​​urgently paying off the debt!
