Chapter 349: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 29

The elders' gift could not be refused, so Lin Daiyu could also let a maid go and directly changed her name to Zijuan. However, there were people in charge of Lin Daiyu's room errands.

Zijuan was really just a playmate and had nothing to do when she was free, so she just chatted with Lin Daiyu.

When Lin Ruhai came to the Jia Mansion this time, he gave gifts to the elders and juniors respectively. The gifts for the three sisters were all chosen by Lin Daiyu herself.

Yingchun has a Go set made of black jade and white jade, Tanchun has a set of famous calligraphy, and Xichun has a brand new set of painting tools.

There were also various handicrafts that Lin Daiyu bought along the way. The three girls were very satisfied with their gifts.

When Tanchun learned that Lin Daiyu was now in charge of the entire Lin Mansion, she was stunned and also revealed a hint of envy.

This legitimate and illegitimate child may seem insignificant, but there is an invisible gap between their treatment:

"Can you control Sister Lin's maids and servants who have been with her for many years?

Are you the one who arranges all the social interactions at home? I only regret that I am not a man. Otherwise, I could also go out and make a career."

Lin Daiyu said quietly, "I do want to take a break, but my father is too busy to worry about the little things in the inner chambers.

Jin'er is studying hard day and night now, so there has to be someone to take care of the house, right?"

The relationship between the girls heated up quickly, and those who often chatted with Lin Daiyu soon noticed something different.

Lin Daiyu handled household affairs decisively and efficiently, just as she did when Wang Xifeng was at home.

Moreover, Wang Xifeng was too aggressive back then and everything she did made people hate her. Lin Daiyu just sat there and gave orders lightly, and it took less than half an hour every day.

He managed household affairs neatly and efficiently, and this ability made the three girls envious and jealous.

Moreover, the nanny around Lin Daiyu is particularly powerful, and Jia Baoyu is a bit crazy.

He dreamed of playing with the new sister, but it was impossible. Lin Daiyu never had the opportunity to talk to Jia Baoyu alone.

Only when the sisters were around the old lady and other elders could Jia Baoyu say a few words to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Jinyu had a lot of homework, so she only stayed at the Jia family for five days before going back to school.

As for Lin Daiyu, she stayed with her grandmother for half a month before leaving. Grandmother Jia also understood that the Lin family had no hostess.

All matters in the inner house have to be managed by the granddaughter. In the past half month, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the court.

The emperor ordered the collection of debts owed to the national treasury, and Jia She and Jia Jing took the lead in repaying the money owed to the court.

The emperor was delighted and immediately awarded the title of Yunqi Duwei to both branches of the Jia family. Although it was a minor title, it was still a good one. Jia Yuanchun's status was also promoted to Xian Guifei.

The whole Jia family was delighted. This was a great honor. The emperor had given them a favor and the money went into their pockets. As for whether the debtor lived or died, it was none of their business.

Lin Ruhai also quickly paid back the little money owed by the Lin family. Lin Ruhai felt that the emperor was a very good person. He had used the money for so many years and did not even ask for a penny of interest.

This is all the emperor's grace. These deadbeats should be arrested. Who are they crying for?

If one is established, another will be pulled down. Anyone who is blind and acts recklessly will fall into trouble.

The Duke of Anguo relied on their good relationship with the retired emperor and not only refused to pay back the money but also wanted to go to the palace to complain to the retired emperor.

This was an intolerable matter, so the emperor directly ordered the Duke of Anguo's family to be stripped of their titles and their property confiscated.

The Ministry of Revenue found out that the Duke of Anguo's mansion had more than two million taels of silver in property, and owed the royal family 600,000 taels of silver but did not want to pay it back.

The emperor's anger had serious consequences: "The Duke of Anguo's family is a figurehead, doing nothing but eating and drinking, and has no intention of repaying the emperor's kindness. I order the whole family to be exiled to Qiongzhou.

This tactic of making a show of force to scare others was so effective that these princes and ministers, who were full of evil intentions, went home and rummaged through their boxes and cabinets to collect money to pay back the debts.

Only at this time did some people envy the Jia family. They also paid back the money and received two titles of Yunqi Duwei.

Others didn't get anything, but Lin Ruhai has been busy leading people to receive the silver returned by the ministers.

He was so busy every day that he often had to sleep in the Ministry of Revenue. Lin Daiyu felt sorry for her father and every day after the kitchen prepared meals, the servants would rush to bring them to Lin Ruhai.

The Ministry of Revenue has now adopted the debit and credit accounting method, and the previously messy journal entries have finally been cleaned up.

The emperor was finally relieved now that the Ministry of Revenue had money, and 70% of the debts had been recovered in two months.

The entire treasury now had 47 million taels of silver. The emperor finally felt a little more confident with the money.

Immediately afterwards, the court promulgated a new commercial tax system. This was no small matter, and officials from various factions in the court were arguing with each other every day.

There was a lot of opposition, but the emperor was determined.

There is indeed a problem with the current agricultural tax, as all the burden falls on the farmers.

This is because the years are good and there is no famine, otherwise there would be a rebellion.

No one dared to touch the emperor's beard about this matter, so when he went to court today, he flew into a rage:

"You all eat the emperor's salary, but have no intention of repaying the emperor's grace. You are simply ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed!

I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, come and drag him away and give him twenty strokes of the cane!"

The crackling sound of a board hitting flesh outside the hall woke up all the ministers. This was not the retired emperor, but the new emperor.

The retired emperor values ​​face above all else, but the new emperor doesn't care about that. The new emperor only cares about benefits and doesn't care about shame!

Who gave the emperor this dirty trick? It's so unethical! Who among the princes, nobles, civil servants and officials doesn't have a business?

Paying taxes according to the new regulations would be a real blow! It must be closely related to the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel also helped a lot!

It is useless to oppose now. The new emperor used this extreme method to quickly stabilize the court.

It was not until the end of the year that Lin Ruhai was able to escape from his official duties and return to live in his mansion. The emperor also realized that he had treated Lin Ruhai too harshly.

So he kindly gave his minister Lin a half-month leave. At the end of the year, the emperor also stopped punishing these ministers.

Seeing blood during the New Year is not a good thing, and the civil and military officials in the court finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This can be considered a relatively peaceful year. At the end of the year, Lin Ruhai is no longer busy, but Lin Jinyu and Lin Daiyu start to get busy.

Giving gifts to familiar relatives and friends requires someone to do the work. Lin Daiyu prepared the things and Lin Jinyu went out to deliver the gifts on behalf of Lin Ruhai.

There was no way. Everyone knew that Lin Ruhai was a very busy man, and Jian Zai Dixin had no time to take care of this.

It's perfectly acceptable for someone to send their eldest son to give you a gift. Giving gifts also means receiving gifts in return. At least Lin Jinyu received a few jade pendants during the day.

The New Year gift to the Jia family was personally selected by Lin Daiyu, and it was increased by 10% based on the standards when Jia Min was alive.

I can't let Jia Min's gift be too little as soon as she goes there, otherwise people will gossip about it.
