Bai Yixiu rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You also said that it was borrowed, and there were borrowing and repaying it, why not repay it? Although the emperor was serving the Emperor, he did not recognize the emperor now! He could not ask for money from the Emperor, but he could ask for money from you!

The two Rongning prefectures combined only one million taels, plus other nobles and powerful officials, lent a total of 32 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to one and a half years of tax revenue in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The emperor looked at so many IOUs, and thought that the national treasury was empty, and then the treasury of these ministers and nobles was full of treasuries, so it would be unhappy for anyone! In the past, the Supreme Emperor might be embarrassed to ask for it for the sake of that time. The emperor now has no affection with you, so he doesn’t care about those!"

Jia Jing thought carefully when he heard this, "What do you mean is that we, Rongning and Ning Mansions, take the initiative to pay back the money in advance? But in this way, our Rongning and Ning Mansions will become the first among the nobles!"

Bai Yixiu shook his head, "It's better to make a head bird than a dead bird! In addition, I understand that Jia Zhen has not really succeeded in Qin Keqing. If you go back and take care of it now, you may be able to turn it around. As long as you handle it properly, you can still make merits after handing over the money. If you have to get the merits and demerits to Ningguo Mansion, it will be fine.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, the second wife, not only borrowed usury, but also took charge of litigation. All of them were the charges of raiding the house and going to prison. Before coming, I had already found Brother Jah, and I would prepare the money in the future and go to the Ministry of Revenue to hand it over! Brother Jia Jing, do you really want to bear the money?"

Jia Jing sighed and smiled bitterly, "I'm gone, what's the use of asking for money! Lin Hai, I know your kindness. I will go back to the city with you tomorrow morning. I immediately asked Jia Rong to take his wife to Songshan Academy to study. As for Jia Zhen, I will stay in the mansion, and I will watch it myself! Whenever he makes a mistake, I will beat him to death! I can't continue to let him do something wrong, which will implicate the entire Ningguo Mansion!"

Bai Yixiu smiled in shock and asked, "Brother Jing, are you not going to become a monk?"

Jia Jing shook his head, "Since I can't even keep the Ningguo Mansion even if I become a monk, what's the point of becoming a monk? Times have changed, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and the throne is stable. The Supreme Emperor is still here, and he can still care about my father's achievements in saving the Lord. After paying back the money, I restrained my descendants in the family. For the sake of past friendship, perhaps the Jia family still has a glimmer of hope."

Bai Yixiu nodded and said with a smile: "If Brother Jing believes in me, then you will do whatever I do!"

Jia Jing smiled and praised, "Lin Hai, to be honest, when I learned that you went to Yangzhou to be the salt inspector of Jiangnan, I knew you would not live long! I didn't expect that you are quite capable. Not only can you come back alive, but you can also stabilize the situation in Jiangnan.

It’s not simple. I finally understand why the second uncle had to find you as a son-in-law at the time. Min'er back then was the princess and the princess was also allowed to do so, but the second uncle didn’t agree. It seems that the second uncle is finding a way out for the Jia family!”

Bai Yixiu smiled bitterly, "Oh, I'm going to hide it from my brother, I was poisoned in Jiangnan and almost died."

"You said too, that was almost dead, not dead. As long as you don't die, it's victory." Jia Jing shrugged and looked at Bai Yixiu, "The Jia family has reached this point. If I continue to hide in the Taoist temple, I will also deceive myself. I will go back with you tomorrow. Tonight, you will be in the Taoist temple for one night."
