Chapter 2923
When master Shi heard this, he was very distressed. He seemed to be dripping blood. "Ning Rong's second house borrowed one hundred liang of silver at the beginning. Our family can't compare with the Jia family. In order to be dignified, we borrowed more, a total of 700000 liang of silver. We had already spent 7788 at that time. Now pay back the money. It's estimated that we can empty the house."
When Shi Ding heard this, he was very upset. "700000 taels of silver, even if you don't pay the interest, you can really empty our treasury. Dad, can we pay it back?"
Master Shi hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, gritted his teeth and said, "now we have titles in our house, which are getting worse and worse in the army, and your majesty obviously attacked us.
If you can get the handle of Ning Rong's second house, you can naturally find our historians. Anyway, as far as I know, one of these dignitaries and ministers in the capital is one. There is no clean one under the ass, so they can't stand investigation. "
Shiding frowned, stamped his foot, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, we'd better pay it back. If we don't give interest, we'll pay 700000 liang of silver. Jia Jing and Jia he were so outstanding that they must have a deep meaning to do this as soon as they came out. They pay back the money, and we'll pay back the money."
Master Shi nodded, "you're right if you think so. Money is not so important in our position. Your Majesty's trust and the talent of your children and grandchildren are the most important."
With that, master Shi also went to the warehouse with Shi Ding.
The ladies at home heard about it and ran over one by one.
When they saw these silver boxes carried out, their eyes were red. Those who were reluctant to give up fainted directly.
In a place different from Jia's house, although the younger generation is reluctant to give up, they dare not oppose the presence of Shi Laozi.
Just as Minister Dai of the Ministry of household was preparing to go to the yamen, he heard the following officials coming, "Sir, the historian came to pay back the money."
Lord Dai was in high spirits today. Unexpectedly, on the first day, five families took the initiative to pay back the money, "go and see the Shi family."
Shi Ding personally came over and counted 700000 liang of silver face to face. Looking at the boxes of silver being moved to the warehouse, my heart was dripping blood.
But for the future of historians, we can only pay back the money.
When Shi Ding took back his IOU from the household department, his heart was not so painful.
Lord Dai said with a smile, "I will play your majesty tomorrow. Your Majesty must be very happy to take the initiative to repay the money today."
The historian returned 700000 Liang, which, together with what he had received in the morning, added up to more than two million liang of silver. For a country, the money is not much, but it can also do something to relieve the pressure on the Ministry of household.
When Shi Ding heard this, he suddenly felt no pain. "Thank you for your kind words, Lord Dai. The supreme emperor and the emperor are kind. We as ministers can't help ourselves. It's natural to pay off debts."
Lord Dai was even happier when he heard this, "Lord Shi is wise."
Shi Ding was in a happy mood. He came out of the house with ease. After returning home, he told master Shi what had happened.
Master Shi nodded, "in the future, the cost of food and clothing at home will be halved. Let your majesty know that our family almost ate bran and swallow vegetables in order to pay back the money."
Shi Ding smiled bitterly, "yes, father."
When Wang Ziteng received a report from the servant below that the historian had paid back the money, he was so angry that he smashed a vase.
Even now Wang Ziteng wants to pay back the money, but the Wang family is far away. When he arrives there, it is estimated that the household department has gone to the yamen, and it is too late.
