Chapter 62

Jia Hui's Jia Fu, although it didn't have as many masters as the Rongguo Prefecture, so it wasn't as extravagant and wasteful.

It could save a few thousand taels of silver.

But the annual expenses would still be over ten thousand taels!

Thinking of this, Sister Sister Xiren exclaimed in horror: "My Lord, you can't!"

Sister Sister Xiren was dutiful and someone who thought for the master.

So she immediately wanted to persuade him.

"This is absolutely impossible; the whole mansion will cost at least ten thousand taels of silver a year, nearly a thousand taels a month, you can't support so many people."

Jia Yun, as the chief steward, was also shocked after a rough calculation, and his scalp tingled as he followed up to persuade: "Yes, my Lord, this is too much, there is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful."

Hearing their words,

Jia Hui, who had already dismounted and was looking at the shops one by one, nodded with satisfaction!

Could he not have thought of these?

Of course he had.

And for their loyal advice,

he was naturally very satisfied.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

"A mere ten thousand taels of silver is naturally nothing to me."

He said with great spirit!

Hearing his words,

the three of them were very surprised.

Jia Hui was a Viscount, and his annual salary was only four hundred taels, and his salary rice was also four hundred hu.

Then there was his salary as a third-rank Assistant Regional Commander.

The official salary of the Great Great Great Qian was divided into 10 levels from the first rank to the ninth rank and unranked.

The highest first rank was 180 taels, second rank 155 taels, third rank 130 taels, fourth rank 105 taels, fifth rank 80 taels, sixth rank 60 taels, seventh rank 45 taels, eighth rank 40 taels, ninth rank 33 taels, and unranked was only 31 taels.

Besides the official salary, there were material subsidies, that is, salary rice, which was rice for officials to eat.

Generally speaking,

for one tael of salary, one hu was issued at the same time.

Equivalent to half a shi of salary rice.

Among them, the first and second ranks received double salary and double rice, that is, double salary and double rice. Other capital officials received double salary and single rice. Except for a few officials in the Ministry of Revenue, most capital officials did not have "nourishing honesty silver."

Jia Hui was one step away from the second rank, which was a pity.

But this refers to monthly salary.

It was much higher than the title salary for a year.

1,560 taels of silver a year.

In addition, there were varying amounts of public funds, etc.

Jia Hui's annual income was at most two thousand taels of silver.

Plus the title.

It was about two thousand five hundred taels of silver a year!

This money compared to the annual expenses of over ten thousand taels, the gap was huge.

Jia Yun didn't say one thing: "If you were a civil official, it would be fine. A civil official in a prefecture for three years gets a hundred thousand taels of snow-white silver. Unfortunately, you are not. The income of a military general is much worse than that of a civil official, unless you take the risk of being beheaded or demoted abroad and secretly indulge in burning, killing, and looting the people."

"The Rongguo Prefecture can hold on because the Jia family has some shops outside, and there are several manors to support it."

In fact,

he didn't know that

the Rongguo Prefecture was currently in a state of spending more than it earned.

In fact, the Ning and Rong Prefectures had fifteen or sixteen manors, each worth two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

Each prefecture had an annual income of about twenty thousand taels.

However,

this money did not all go into the hands of the masters of the two prefectures.

If there were large expenses, or people begging for favors, or even blackmailing, and the corruption and malpractice in the accumulation of private money, several things combined, it was spending more than earning, and the deficit was getting bigger and bigger!

The current Jia family's two prefectures were actually just an empty shell.

Another two years.

Even if they weren't raided, they would go bankrupt.

Otherwise, Seeing Seeing Fengjie wouldn't use various invisible means Love Love Like lending money at high interest to make up for the deficit!

Otherwise, Jia She and the others wouldn't be forced to sell their daughters for a mere few thousand taels of silver!

The family of Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun, an old relative, was even worse.

Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun, as a master, had to do needlework to subsidize the family!

So Jia Yun felt that Jia Hui was a bit arrogant.

He wanted to persuade him again: "You are a Viscount, supporting twenty or so maids and servants is already quite decent."

Indeed.

Having twenty or so servants was already very decent and had face.

In the home of a fifth-rank official Love Love Like the Qin family,

adding the whole family of three, there were less than ten people!

Jia Hui waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, this money won't stump me. Have you forgotten that the ten thousand taels of silver and a shop contributed by Jia Zhen yesterday are enough for us to spend for a year or a half."

Jia Yun and the others were stunned, then said:

Their expressions were a bit strange.

That's true!

Jia Zhen and his son contributed a lot to Jia Hui.

But this money wouldn't last too long, right?

Just seeing Jia Hui's confident appearance,

they had to give up.

"Don't worry, I have my own means of profit."

"After today's shopping is done, you go and keep an eye on that shop, and make good use of it; I will sell some new things."

Jia Hui comforted.

It was a good thing that Jia Yun and the others could speak the truth.

As a superior, he also needed to comfort them.

Only when everyone is of one heart

can the cause be prosperous.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Jia Yun and the others were a bit suspicious.

What kind of business could make up for a deficit of at least a few thousand taels of silver?

Jia Hui smiled lightly.

He didn't explain much.

They would know when the time came.

Jia Yun and the others didn't know that, besides the ten thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of shop contributed by Jia Zhen,

his space was also filled with various gold, silver, jewelry, animal skins, ginseng, etc., worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.

If these were cashed out,

even if he spent twenty thousand taels a year,
