Qin Qin Keqing opened her lips and said.

"Where?"

"It's the seven Zhuangzi (farms) newly purchased from the Ningguo residence."

"Including the other three newly purchased Zhuangzi."

"Ten Zhuangzi, after Cheng Cheng Shaoshang and her sister looked at the account books, they found that they all had problems."

"Although it was the previous accounts of the Ning residence."

Hearing this,

Jia Hui could be said to have had no surprise at all.

After all, even the imperial court was blatantly corrupt, and corruption was rampant.

It would be strange if these guys didn't play tricks.

So, Jia Hui asked: "Is the Zhuangtou (farm manager) named Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao?"

"Husband, the Zhuangtou of the Black Mountain Village of the former Ning residence is indeed surnamed Wu."

The twenty-fifth concubine Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang agreed with a slight nod.

Because Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang had stayed in the Zhuangzi for ten years,

Qin Qin Qin Keqing directly handed the task of managing the Zhuangzi to Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang, and also her cousin, the twenty-sixth concubine Cheng Gan.

The two sisters were responsible for the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo residence together.

The current ten Zhuangzi.

Jia Hui looked at Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang upon hearing the sound, seeing this woman of his, who looked very much Love Love Like Sang Qi and Bai Hei Hei Fengxi, mainly because their temperaments were not quite the same.

Sang Qi was obviously cuter and more lively.

Bai Hei Hei Fengxi was a dashing jianghu girl.

She was seemingly pitiful, scheming inside, but actually still a kind person.

Her eyebrows were curved and thin, a pair of eyes were big, and very spiritual.

A small mouth was red and bright, cute, and a round face, skin was white and greasy, wearing a light green skirt, different from the general white, young, and thin, although her skin was white and greasy, her face was plump and beautiful, her figure was plump and graceful, which could be called the ceiling of the slightly fat world.

Because of Jia Hui’s good development,

now her long hair was also draped, looking very feminine, and her temperament had a bit more maturity.

In contrast to her was her cousin Cheng Gan.

A light pink dress.

She had always dressed very simply.

At least compared to Seeing Seeing Fengjie and the others.

And not the big maids Love Love Like Ping'er.

But simple didn't mean not good-looking.

Simple and generous.

Because she was very beautiful, whatever she wore looked good.

Her figure belonged to the petite and exquisite type, compared to Jia Hui’s women.

Giving her a gentle and delicate beauty.

Different from Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang’s pretense.

She was truly delicate.

Also a head of black long hair draped down softly.

Her skin was smooth and tender, as if a fairy had descended to the world.

Love Love Like Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang,

she had been developed by Jia Hui for half a month.

But she had a lot of flavor!

A typical virtuous wife and good mother.

After hearing Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang’s words, Cheng Gan added gently: "Yes, husband, he traveled for more than a month at the end of the year to enter the capital to pay rent, and complained to us: 'The harvest is really not good.'"

Jia Hui sneered, not being fooled by the other party at all.

This Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao was not an old rural woman Love Love Like Granny Liu, nor was he Love Love Like Zhou Rui who directly managed the fief for the Jia residence.

·· 0 begging for flowers 0 ·········

But was renting the farmland of the Ningguo residence, and after signing a contract with the master, handed over the rent and rent, equivalent to a farmland manager.

In fact, Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao’s duty was similar to Zhou Rui’s.

The difference was that Zhou Rui’s authority was above him, he was a manager; Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao was the specific person in charge of the farmland.

However, Zhou Rui was responsible for the farmland of the Rongguo residence.

While Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao was in the Ningguo residence, equivalent to the head of all the long-term workers, he understood farm work and was good at dealing with the Ningguo residence, climbing up the relationship.

Such a person was not simple.

In Jia Hui’s eyes, he was a truly powerful character among the small characters.

And his brother was also responsible for the farmland of the Rongguo residence.

That is, working under Zhou Rui.

Therefore,

Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao and his brother

actually specifically controlled the harvest of the farmland in the Jia residence’s fief.

"Husband, this is the bill he offered."

......... ..... 0

The bill was kept by Cheng Gan.

She respectfully offered it to Jia Hui with both hands.

Jia Hui read the bill carefully.

The bill listed the accounts very clearly: "Thirty big deer, fifty roe deer, fifty roe deer, twenty Siamese pigs, twenty soup pigs, twenty dragon pigs, twenty wild pigs, twenty home-cured pigs, twenty wild sheep, twenty green sheep, twenty home soup sheep, twenty home wind sheep, two hundred sturgeon, two hundred catties of various miscellaneous fish, two hundred live chickens, ducks, and geese each, two hundred wind chickens, ducks, and geese, two hundred pairs of wild chickens and wild cats, twenty pairs of bear paws, twenty catties of deer tendons, fifty catties of sea cucumber, fifty deer tongues, fifty cow tongues, twenty catties of razor clam dried, two bags of hazel, pine, peach, and apricot kernels each, fifty pairs of big prawns, two hundred catties of dried shrimp, Master He He, there are so many, we don't need to buy a lot for the New Year!"

"In addition, there are one thousand catties of top-grade silver frost charcoal, two thousand catties of medium-grade, thirty thousand catties of firewood charcoal, two dan of imperial field rouge rice, fifty hu of green glutinous rice, fifty hu of white glutinous rice, fifty hu of powder japonica rice, fifty hu of various colored sorghum and grain, one thousand dan of regular rice for use, one cart of various dried vegetables, red sorghum and grain livestock."

"The total value of the items is two thousand five hundred taels of silver."

"Hey, there are also outer gate filial piety items, two pairs of live deer, four pairs of white rabbits, two pairs of live pheasants, two pairs of Western ducks."

After reading,

Jia Hui, who saw it for the first time, felt that there were still quite a lot of things.

However, he was not fooled.

He didn't believe that this Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao was so honest.

He was certain that there must be a lot of corruption here.

Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang had one view, saying with dissatisfaction: "Husband, this Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao is a flattering old guy, experienced in the battlefield, responding freely, speaking without leaking, and slick to the extreme. But I can be sure that what he said must be problematic, the things shouldn't be so few, the things should be at least five thousand taels."

"How did he say it?" Nine.

[464] Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang who repays grievances with directness, the resolute Cheng Gan sisters

"He said the harvest this year was really not good. It rained from March, continuously until August, and it didn't clear up for five or six days in a row; he also said that in September, there was a bowl-sized hail, and in the area of two or three hundred miles, people, houses, livestock, and food were injured and thousands were killed... but in fact, he is fooling us for not knowing the weather, not knowing the farming time, and not knowing the crop harvest!"

Cheng Cheng Cheng Shaoshang sneered endlessly.

"In fact, it is impossible to be Love Love Like this. I have already investigated. Farming in the countryside depends on the weather, this is normal."

"It is also normal to have a poor harvest, but it is impossible to have a poor harvest every year, and it is a continuous poor harvest; not to mention that if the poor harvest is serious, it must be large-scale, caused by natural or man-made disasters, and it will not be limited to the Jia residence’s fief."

"I stayed in the Cheng family’s Zhuangzi for ten years, although the scale is certainly not as large as the Jia family’s."

"I dare to say that the weather this year is absolutely not as bad as he said."

Cheng Gan nodded in approval, and then said to Jia Hui: "Husband, the reason why Wu Wu Wu Jinxiao is so old and still does things himself '960', now that the Ningguo residence has fallen, the Zhuangzi is ours, he sends New Year goods to our Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo residence, the purpose is to continue to take advantage of our Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo residence and pay less tribute."

"If he sent someone else, even his own son, he wouldn't be at ease, afraid of revealing the truth."

Jia Hui asked: "Where is he?"

"Still in the city, waiting for our reply."

Cheng Gan replied.
