Xin Zi Juan Chapter 187: Sales (Second update, please vote!)
On the way back home by carriage, Wang Xifeng leaned on Feng Ziying's shoulder and suddenly felt something.
After marrying Jia Lian, it seems that she has never felt such tenderness.
Jia Lian was incompetent and weak-tempered, and could hardly hold his head up in front of himself.
If he wants to steal a favor, all he needs to do is give him a sideways glance, and he will be intimidated. He will only dare to tease her with words, and occasionally flirt with her, but he will not dare to do anything serious.
The financial power is also in his own hands. Even if he wants to steal some rewards from the women in the house, or go to a brothel to drink wine, he has to find other ways to get money from here. This is probably because he doesn't look down on the other party, and subconsciously
Just because you despise the other person.
Of course, ever since they got married, Jia Lian seemed to have never been as affectionate and affectionate towards him as he is now. Every time he was either drunk and wanted to have sex, or he rushed to bed.
After a lot of tossing, he fell asleep. He had never been as considerate and gentle as the man in front of him. He considered everything for himself and made himself satisfied.
Wang Xifeng also knew that she had a bad temper and was suspicious and irritable, but in the face of this man's tolerance and concession, everything about her seemed to be melted away. She seemed to be willing to give in and compromise with this man's unsatisfactory insistence on some things.
Perhaps this is the injustice of fate?
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng subconsciously touched her belly. She didn't know whether the evil creature in her belly was a boy or a girl. It would be fine if she gave birth to a daughter. If it was a son, what would his surname be?
Isn’t it possible to follow your own surname?
What should we say to the outside world?
Those outsiders who have nothing to do with it are fine, but how should we explain old friends and relatives like the Jia family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the historians?
Is it really like what this enemy said, to the outside world, it was said that he was adopted, so that the people of the Jia family and the Wang family thought in their hearts that Ping'er was born after Brother Keng took Ping'er?
It seems like double insurance, which can be justified, but why doesn’t the Feng family let the child return to the Feng family?
Even though the Feng family did not have a male heir, how could they tolerate a son like Ping'er who was born outside the family living outside the family? This is obviously unreasonable.
She couldn't help but take a peek at the calm face of the man next to her with her eyes closed and meditating. Wang Xifeng felt peaceful again for no reason in her heart. Forget it, as long as he is here, all these troublesome things can be properly solved. With this
What's there to be afraid of as a man?
Feelings surged in her heart. Wang Xifeng felt her body was a little hot for no reason. She couldn't help but tighten her legs. The first one or two months of pregnancy was the most dangerous. She definitely couldn't have sex. But Wang Xifeng also knew the dangers.
Yes, after two or three months, when the fetus is stable, you can still be careful and affectionate.
Glancing at Ping'er who was sitting across from him with his chin on his head and his eyes closed to meditate, Wang Xifeng pursed his lips, taking advantage of his little hooves.
Suddenly, another question came to mind. The house here was about to be renovated and moved in. It seemed that it would soon be difficult to hide this belly. Since Xiaohong wanted to follow him, it would be difficult to hide it, but Wang Xifeng
But he didn't feel confident about her.
Others have no way of turning back, but not her. Lin Zhixiao and his wife are famously shrewd people. It is impossible for Xiaohong to follow her without their consent. The couple can agree to Xiaohong following them, and they probably feel honored.
The situation in the government is not good, so I want to find another way out.
So from this point of view, Xiaohong is still a little unreliable, and we must find a way to completely cut off her mentality of stepping in two boats as soon as possible.
With an idea in mind, Wang Xifeng leaned closer to the man next to her, which actually gave the man an advantage.
Feng Ziying did not expect that he would fly to Hengfu or Yanfu. At this time, he was also considering the request made by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
A lot of money was seized in the Jingtong Ercang case, but the amount of gold and silver was not large. Calculated, it was probably between eight and nine hundred thousand taels. If the amount was one million taels, just scrape it together and sell some casually.
Yes, but 1.2 million taels requires some effort.
The current situation is a bit chaotic. Jade is hidden in prosperous times and gold is hidden in troubled times. Nowadays, smart people still smell some uneasy atmosphere.
The war in the southwest is protracted and drags on for a long time; there is noise and public resentment in the south of the Yangtze River; the mutiny in the northwest makes the situation worrying; Liaodong is still unstable, and the Jurchens and Chahar people in Jianzhou are still fiercely armed and eyeing; even in the north, there is also a hidden watershed of the White Lotus Sect.
Down, lead but not send out.
I am not the only one who can see these things, maybe I can see them more fully and more deeply. In this case, if a rich person has to pay for pearls, jade, antiques, mansions and estates, then the price is not that easy to say.
The Ministry of Revenue nominally leaves this matter to itself, but how can it be possible to bypass the Ministry of Revenue and the Metropolitan Procuratorate? This is just putting the burden of responsibility on yourself. You must shoulder this responsibility and handle this matter as soon as possible.
Handle it well.
Huang Ruliang and Wang Yongguang are also afraid of leaving it to others, or they are afraid of taking responsibility and offending others, so they procrastinate and may not be able to complete it in half a year. If they are entrusted to unworthy people, collude internally and externally, and deliberately lower the price, then the court will lose a lot of money.
Already.
They had to plan carefully to handle this matter quickly and efficiently. Huang Ruliang and Wang Yongguang came to him specifically to talk about this matter. Naturally, they were not only representing the Ministry of Revenue, but also must have received the approval of the cabinet.
Anyway, if you have a lot of debts, you won’t have to worry about it, and if you have a lot of lice, you won’t be bitten.
As soon as the Tongcang case came out, he became famous, and his reputation was even higher than that of Xiao Feng Xiuzuan, who had only a good reputation before. However, now there is inevitably a lot of criticism and criticism
, this is inevitable, there are a lot of people who will suffer losses this time.
“How do you think this matter should be handled?” Feng Ziying leaned on the official hat chair, playing with the Ding kiln paperweight in her hand, and said in a low voice.
Fu Shi, Wang Wenyan, and Wu Yaoqing all looked at each other in confusion.
"Sir, in fact, although there are only twenty days until the end of the month, it is not difficult to sell two to three hundred thousand taels of silver and to collect 1,200,000 taels of silver. The key is that the price may not be that impressive.
I'm satisfied, but Wenyan is worried about the 1.3 million taels of silver at the end of September." Wang Wenyan pondered for a moment before speaking.
One sentence hits the nail on the head. How can we not get two to three hundred thousand taels of silver? There are so many artifacts and treasures confiscated, and there are also a large number of farm shops. There are many good things among them. This amount can be sold easily.
Come on, but what about September?
That’s 1.3 million taels of silver, and there is no cash anymore. All of it has to be raised by selling these utensils and farms. Who will take over such a large amount?
And it must have been sold first in the early stage. After digesting the two to three hundred thousand taels of treasures, some people will definitely want to breathe a sigh of relief. It will not be easy to sell them again.
When Wang Wenyan said this, Fu Shi and Wu Yaoqing immediately understood and nodded in approval of this statement.
"Yes, sir, it is easy to collect three hundred thousand taels of silver, but who will buy the subsequent one million and three hundred thousand taels of silver?" Fu Shi considered his words, "And according to what Mr. Huang and Wang said, we will pay for it at the end of the year.
A batch of silver is to be handed over. Although the amount is not stated, the court must still have expectations. If the amount is too small, I am afraid that you will be a little disappointed. Your Excellency has finally left the impression on the minds of the public through this case.
There will also be discounts,..."
Feng Ziying laughed.
Fu Shiting is good at talking. He is talking about himself in name, but he is more concerned about himself.
This case was also a good one for him, so he recommended his performance in this case to the superiors, which also gave Fu Shi a rough impression among the court officials. This was what Fu Shi was most excited about and valued the most.
Fu Shi is not too old, in his thirties but not forty years old. He is a general judge of the sixth grade, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, so he is focused on handling this case perfectly and beautifully.
What the imperial court values most now is how much money it can recover from the Jingtong Ercang case. It is well known that the imperial treasury is tight. If this money thing is done well, it will be a hundred times better than what you can do with other things, so this matter
Fu Shi is also the most enthusiastic about things.
Both Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing couldn't help but frown. What Fu Shi said was true. Although there were only quantitative requirements for the money turned in for the two sales in June and September, and the amount was not specified for the one at the end of the year, what is your Feng Ziying's ability to do things?
, maybe it will be reflected in the amount of this payment at the end of the year.
Everyone was confident about the first two times, but this last time, if it can give everyone an unexpected surprise, it will be extraordinary.
“Qiu Sheng, how much do you think you need to pay to the Ministry of Household Affairs at the end of the year to satisfy them?” Feng Ziying put down the Ding kiln paperweight and took a sip from the teacup.
"Sir, it's hard to tell this official, but the court's thoughts are definitely that the more the merrier, and as the end of the year gets more difficult, I'm afraid the expectations on our side will be greater." Fu Shi hesitated, "I'm afraid the official thinks it will be better."
Five hundred thousand taels of silver is a similar standard."
Five hundred thousand taels? Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing both shook their heads slightly, this is a bit high.
"Xiaoguan thinks this way. In the follow-up Jingtong II case, we will definitely be able to collect some more, but most of them will be from farm shops. By the end of the year, the wealthy people in Beijing may have more money, and they will be able to buy some.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver might be enough..."
Fu Shiqian expressed his opinion.
It can’t be said that Fu Shi’s idea is wrong. It would be true in normal times. However, considering the situation this year, especially the severe drought in the north, instability in the south and northwest of the Yangtze River, and the war in the southwest, this idea is a bit too optimistic.
However, in the following two cases, a batch of fixed assets will definitely be seized and returned, but the realization situation is not optimistic, and the further back, the more difficult it will be for Feng Ziying. If he wants to do it, he must do it first, especially when the situation is still unclear.
