    The inner house of Yanzheng Yamen has red lights everywhere.

    Each door has also changed its door gods, couplets, and signs, and has added peach charms, giving it a completely new look.

    Daiyu is not a stingy person. She had already ordered members of Cui Yi's family to distribute New Year's silver rewards to the daughter-in-law, nuns and maids who worked as servants in the house, and she also exempted them from kowtows.

    This was originally supposed to be a reward given by the servants on the first day of the Lunar New Year when they kowtowed to their heads one by one, but Daiyu was impatient and gave it out in advance.

    And they are all red envelopes!

    It's just that most of the wives and servants in the Yanzheng Yamen's inner house, except for one from Cui Yi's family and a few old nuns who are too old to serve as directors, are people who were trained by Shen Yan's old wife Wu for Jia Cong. They are not originally  The Lin family only works as errands in Yanzheng Yamen.

    And the original maids and maids of the Lin family had long been sent out by Jia Cong.

    ¡°At least nine out of ten of them are someone else¡¯s spies, and the remaining one is a double agent

    ¡° Keep them, if one day they are bribed to poison the well and the kitchen, which will make people regret and die

    Perhaps it was due to this reason that other people¡¯s servants were working, so the ¡°year-end bonus¡± given by Daiyu was as much as a year¡¯s worth of monthly money.

    How can you not make all the servants smile?

    Now Daiyu is a truly wealthy woman. Jia Cong once settled an account for her while chatting.

    Not to mention the considerable dowry left to her by her mother Jia Min, the amount of money Lin Ruhai has accumulated over the years as a Yangzhou Salt Institute is a huge sum.

    "However, it is not as exaggerated as the two to three million taels of silver in the rumors in the previous life. Now that there are two million taels of silver left in the treasury in a year, it is a good year.

    During the Zhenyuan Dynasty, after successive wars, in which year did the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts not have a deficit of several million taels?

    Every year, the treasuries of various provinces and vassals are sent to Beijing, and they stay in Taicang for less than half a year before they are empty.

    In the second half of the year, the ministers will either try to plunder it from the palace treasury, or they will send it to the people, and some will eat the grain.

    In order to maintain the operation of the frontline army and the court, the Zhenyuan Dynasty lasted for twenty-five years, but some places levied taxes for thirty-five years.

    It¡¯s also thanks to Emperor Chongkang who was not bad to the people and accepted this debt.

    ¡°If we change the emperor, I am afraid that the next ten years will be wiped out. The emperor is very poor

    So, if Lin Ruhai had two to three million taels of silver, Emperor Chongkang would not let him go

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Lin family has four generations of marquises, and with the addition of the rich and poor children over the years, the family still has a fortune of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

    When Jia Cong took Daiyu to Suzhou to visit his mother's grave, he also sold the property, ancestral house, furniture and antiques under Lin Ruhai's name.

    That is the family fortune accumulated by the Lin family over several lifetimes!

    The Lin family has always had a difficult time producing heirs, and they are almost the same as their son. It is conceivable how rich this family fortune is.

    If Daiyu is a man, naturally this family fortune cannot be sold lightly.

    How can we abandon our ancestral heritage lightly?

    But as a girl, how can she have the energy to understand this

    ¡°And she followed Jia Cong¡¯s advice. She already knew that Jia Cong planned to take her and Lin Ruhai to Beijing to support them. Rather than leaving the family property empty in Suzhou Mansion, it was better to sell it.

    She has no plans to come back

    Although the Lin family still has distant relatives and branches, and even if they intend to occupy the Lin family's ancestral property, the Jiangnan gentry have long been frightened by Jia Cong's methods of confiscating their homes and killing their clansmen and fortifying the capital. Who dares to say a word to him?

    What's more, Jia Cong still sold most of the Lin family's ancestral property to the Lin clan in Daiyu's name for 80% less than the market price.

    ???????????????????????????? Not only did the reputation not get broken, but Daiyu also gained a good reputation.

    Calculating it this way, even if Daiyu is not worth a million, it is not much different.

    Naturally, I have to tell her that she will not make her like a previous life.

    In fact, she is not poor, she is very rich.

    Jia Cong still remembers the look of surprise on Daiyu¡¯s face when she heard about this. She originally only knew that the family did not lack enough food, clothing and food, but it seemed that it was still some distance away from a wealthy family.

    Before her death, her mother had told her that the grandeur and wealth of the Rongguo Mansion in Jingli was far inferior to that of the Lin family.

    ???????????????????????? The food and clothing expenses of her family are only at the level of ordinary officials¡¯ families, and cannot be said to be wealthy.

    How come there are so many belongings?

    After hearing her doubts, Jia Cong explained to her Lin Ruhai¡¯sPeople went back inside.

    Qingwen and others went to prepare the garden and dumplings again, but Daiyu didn't know how to do it, so she asked Jia Cong to sit down.

    Jia Cong lay down on a Xiangfei couch and breathed a sigh of relief slightly tiredly.

    Seeing Daiyu bring a cup of tea in a blue and white jade cup, Jia Cong hurriedly sat up and took it, smiling: "How can I ask my sister to serve me? I'm sorry for you"

    Daiyu¡¯s eyes narrowed and she said angrily: ¡°Third brother is teasing me again!¡±

    Jia Cong chuckled and said, "What are you talking about" After that, he drank the hot tea in his hand and relaxed a little.

    When Daiyu saw it, her eyes relaxed a little.

    She took the blue and white cup from which Jia Cong had finished drinking, and said: "You can lie down and rest, you are so tired"

    Jia Cong didn't show any pretense, he stretched and lay down, smelling the faint fragrance, listening to Qingwen and Xiaohong bickering not far away, Chunyan on the side seemed to be kindly trying to persuade them, but in fact they were fanning the flames, and then  After being discovered by Qingwen and Xiaohong, they turned their guns and attacked together, causing a burst of laughter.

    He slowly closed his eyes and thought about Hao Jing again.

    "Don't delay too long. We'll start after the first day of the new year."

    It¡¯s better to ride a horse, faster.

    Going south from Yangzhou Prefecture, the waterways of the Yangtze River and Ganjiang River are all in reverse flow.

    But we can¡¯t all ride horses, otherwise how could Henry¡¯s little friend stumble and fall into the river

    He wanted to meet this person again and talk more about his sister.

    You must know yourself and the enemy before you can make a clear target.

    Time waits for no one

    Just as Jia Cong was deep in thought, he suddenly felt something rolling between his eyebrows.

    He opened his eyes and saw Daiyu playfully holding an egg and rolling it between his eyebrows.

    The egg is colorfully painted with figures, landscapes and auspicious words.

    Seeing Jia Cong open his eyes, Daiyu giggled, rolled the auspicious egg on Jia Cong's heart, tilted her head to look at Jia Cong, and said with a smile in soft Suzhou dialect: "Go away, go away, go away."  Go away, wish the third brother good luck, good luck every year, and everything goes well! Come on, third brother, eat it quickly, hee hee!"

    This is Su Yang¡¯s custom. In her childhood memories, this is what her mother did to her father during the Chinese New Year
