    "Mom, how is this possible? If I, the dignified Jiangnan Weaving, sell off a large amount of property, it will make other people think of our family. I can't afford to lose face"

    Zhen Shijia¡¯s face was full of disbelief.

    At the same time, he immediately and resolutely refused.

    Whether they are from aristocratic families or officials, they all need face to some extent. Some people even regard their face as more important than their wealth and life.

    Selling one¡¯s property is the most embarrassing thing. At least one will be accused of being a prodigal, and at worst others will speculate whether something happened to their family?

    Qiao Mu couldn¡¯t bear his temper any longer. He raised his hand and crutches and hit him on his thighs and calves:

    ¡°Face, face, is face more important or life more important, face is more important or family is more important?

    Didn¡¯t I make it clear enough?

    What¡¯s more, did I ask you to sell it openly and loudly?  Can't you send some people to secretly transport it to other places for sale?

    Do you still expect your mother and I to repay all the money you owe? You can sell me!  "

    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be angry!

    ¡°Oh, mother, you are so tough!  "

    Zhen Shijia was instantly beaten to the point of jumping. He was used to being pampered, so how could he endure the pain? However, he still explained while running away:

    "Mother, I am walking away with a small stick and a big battle. This is not unfilial, this is not foolish filial piety, it is filial piety."

    Qiao Mu was stunned by him and laughed angrily. He simply didn¡¯t hit him and threw the crutch aside:

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be foolish and filial!

    ¡°Then you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m stupid for being my mother.

    ¡°I tell you, you have to pay back the money you owe to the treasury, and you have to pay back the money you owe to the treasury, otherwise I will go to the capital in person to plead guilty to the Holy One, and I will never lie.  "

    "Mom, why are you doing this?

    We are not the only ones picking up the car.

    We are not the only ones who owe money.

    This is the whole court.

    ¡°Any family that is qualified to borrow money from the treasury does not owe the treasury tens of thousands of taels of silver.

    If you do n¡¯t pay it back, pay it back in our family. Will this become the enemy of the criticism? At that time, our family must not be isolated by other officials, and your son and my official should be improper!  "

    Of course there was a reason for Zhen Shijia¡¯s refusal.

    If this matter is just about repaying debts, it would be easy to handle. The key point is that there are too many people involved. If no one else pays back, you will be the one who pays back. Then in the officialdom and even the court, it will be a problem.  But there is no way to mess around.

    What¡¯s the use of just trying to please the emperor.

    The emperor can remember you for a moment, and he can remember you for a lifetime, okay? During the time when the money was just paid back, if others made some slanderous remarks, the emperor would definitely not take it seriously, and would even reprimand him. But after the money is paid off, it will take three to five years.  , others still hold grudges and make slanderous remarks, then it¡¯s really hard to say what will happen.

    "Since you can't pay it back.

    Then prepare the money.

    I will return it when the time comes.

    I don¡¯t believe they dare to impeach me!

    When the time comes, you will say that you were forced to give me the money because of my coercion.

    How much can be better.

    "The money must be repaid, there is no doubt about it. Also, don't give money to the Sixth Prince in the future. I will tell Zhen'er about the specific situation. I believe she will understand."

    If you have nothing to do, go back and raise money.

    I¡¯m also going to sort out the warehouse and see if I can get as much as I can to pay off the debt as much as I can.

    The debt of the treasury is over there.

    Whenever the treasury is short of money for disaster relief, the emperor will think of you who are in debt.

    Think about it, if others owe you money to live a comfortable life, but you can't get the money to do anything, what will you think in your heart?

    The emperor is also a human being.

    He also has the emotions that others have.

    ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say. If you still can¡¯t figure it out, then you should resign from this position as soon as possible and come back and be a rich man honestly.  "

    Many things can actually be understood with a little careful thought, but some people are unwilling to think deeply, or they know the relevant situation, but are not willing to admit it at all.

    I would rather be a coward.

    Go with the flow.

    Thinking about something like the law does not punish the public anyway.

    ??But don¡¯t think about it, other people¡¯s families owe tens of thousands, and even more than a million, but their family owes a full five million taels. It¡¯s unfair if the law doesn¡¯t punish everyone.When it comes to punishing the general public, the leaders still need to be punished. Their family is one of the groups that owes the most money to the treasury.

    If the emperor wants to cause trouble, of course he will first settle the accounts with the family that owes the most money.

    Zhen Shijia lowered his head and thought for a long time. He carefully thought about what his mother said. After thinking about it, he felt that it made sense. He sighed and said:

    ¡°Mom, you are still thoughtful.

    I am too short-sighted. There is indeed a difference between owing tens of thousands of taels and owing millions of taels. Even if the current emperor can tolerate it, I am afraid that the next emperor will, alas!

    I will go back and sell off my property.  "

    After thinking about it, Zhen Shijia naturally no longer hesitated, turned around and left quickly, and quickly went home to clean up the warehouse, preparing to sell off the property and return it to the national treasury.

    After her son left, Qiao Mu quickly called in the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper not to worry about the birthday banquet, but to take her to the warehouse to tidy up the warehouse and see how many things were left in the warehouse.

    This sight is really eye-opening.

    The imperial gifts in this warehouse are probably much more than the royal gifts of many princes and princesses. Looking around, almost half of the things in the entire warehouse are from the late emperor, the emperor, the late emperor, the late emperor, the late queen mother, etc.  It was given by others, and the remaining half was given by the original son and some officials.

    However, although it looks very spectacular, there are not many things that can be exchanged for money, because the gifts given by the emperor cannot be sold, so first of all, half of the things are missing. Although the remaining half of the things are also valuable,  The more valuable something is, the harder it is to sell it. Antiques and treasures are far less easy to sell than houses and land.

    Even if it is 100,000 hectares of land, as long as it is released at market price, it can be sold in two or three days at most.

    But if it is a top-grade jade carving worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, it is normal for it to not be able to sell it for three to five years if it cannot be sold to anyone who wants it.

    Because land and real estate are something that everyone likes and likes to hoard. In this era, not to mention aristocratic families, even ordinary wealthy households and wealthy businessmen also like to hoard land and buy real estate.

    It¡¯s a rare antique.

    Unless someone really likes it, or someone who wants to buy it as a gift, who would buy it?

    "How much cash is there in the warehouse?"

    Since Qiao Mu said he would help with one million taels, he would definitely not break the promise, so he immediately asked the housekeeper about the money in stock at home.

    ¡°Back to what the old lady said.

    "You still have about 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver in your private treasury, and about 50,000 taels of silver in the public treasury. Do you want to withdraw the money?"  "

    Butler Yu replied honestly.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that little bit, and that¡¯s really not enough.

    You look at picking out all the famous calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse to see how much money they can sell for. I am still short of 750,000 taels. If the celebrity calligraphy and painting are not valuable enough, pick out some handicrafts and large jade Buddha statues and sell them.  .

    If that¡¯s not enough, then you have to  "

    As Qiao Mu spoke, he couldn't help but stare at his butler in a daze. Whether it was in the palace or the prince's mansion, almost all the people who served people were corrupt. If it wasn't enough, maybe they could just raid the slave's house, but  There's no need to be too anxious, we still need to investigate clearly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
