  Chapter 782 Collect money

Zhao Dian bowed his head and said: "In the past, the income from the shops, farms and caravans in the mansion would go into our public account, and you can subsidize it from time to time, so even if the income and expenditure are uneven, you can make up for it. But since we followed When your Majesty comes to Yuncheng, you will no longer put money into the public account."

  That part is the inheritance left to him by Zhao Changyu. When he left Luoyang, he was consciously prepared to die. Naturally, it was impossible to take his family fortune with him, so he handed over all the money to Zhao Hanzhang.

   "A year ago, you told me to let the stewards divide the property. Except for the house, shop and farm that you bought yourself, the rest of the property was taken care of by the Fifth Lord. You even sent back the account books and seals."

   Oh, Zhao Zhongyu remembered, a year ago, he was so mad because of Zhao Ji's stupidity, he knew from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for the clan to be handed over to Zhao Ji.

  So in order to avoid resentment within the clan due to property disputes in the future, he deliberately asked people to share his own private property, and the property that should be taken by the patriarch was temporarily handed over to Zhao Song.

  In the future, whether it is Zhao Yi as the patriarch or Zhao Erlang's son as the patriarch, they can get the assets directly from Zhao Song.

  That is the accumulation of the Zhao family over the years. The clan inheritance, the eldest son can divide 70%, and the remaining 30% will be inherited by other heirs. In this way, 70% and 70% will be passed on from one son to another. Only now can such a family business be passed down.

   Only in this way can the family be immortal, and only with a strong direct branch can the clan be protected.

  So this family business belongs not only to the patriarch's family, but also to the clan.

It is also why Zhao Changyu handed over most of his property to Zhao Zhongyu to inherit, and Zhao Zhongyu, even if he was not reconciled, after seeing his son's stupidity and short-sightedness, he could only reluctantly hand it back to the clan for the future Spend a more competent patriarch.

   "So...without that asset, I have no money?"

  Zhao Zhongyu couldn't believe it.

  Zhao Dian lowered his head and whispered: "Grandfather, most of the houses, shops and farms you bought in the past were in Luoyang. Luoyang only received sporadic income this year. We were originally supported by the two villages and fields in Xiping."

   "Why do I only have two Zhuangzi in Xiping? I remember that there are still several shops and a lot of fields."

  Zhao Dian's voice became even softer, "Small check book, you gave that part to Sanniang four years ago, and it was the shop and farm in Luoyang."

  Zhao Zhongyu stopped talking completely, he was a little dazed, and didn't react until this time, "You said, four years ago, she exchanged Luoyang's shop and farm for me, is it certain that Luoyang will be in chaos?"

  Zhao Dian lowered his head and dared not speak.

  Zhao Zhongyu's heart is very complicated. Now he is not very angry, and he is a little proud, but more sour. Why is the eldest brother always better luck than him?

   Born to the same father and mother, the eldest brother is smarter than him. He gave birth to a smart son, but weak; although his son is not as smart as Zhao Zhi, he is physically strong;

   In this regard, the two of them are considered a tie.

   But he has a smarter and healthy grandson.

   Zhao Changyu chose Zhao Ji to inherit the title, isn't it because of Zhao Yi?

  So Zhao Zhongyu felt that God was fair to the two brothers, at least compared to his grandson, he won.

  But after going around and around, he still lost. His granddaughter is much better than his grandson, even better than him.

  If she could have predicted Luoyang's decline four years ago, her vision would be no worse than her grandfather's.

   "Master, what should I do with the money?" Zhao Dian's question brought back Zhao Zhongyu's thoughts.

  Zhao Zhongyu came back to his senses and asked: "Have you found everything, can't squeeze out money?"

   "The small one only kept the money necessary for daily life, and the others were calculated, but it was not enough."

  Zhao Zhongyu reached out to take the account book, flipped through it and pointed to one: "Remove this, and the family is in such a difficult situation. Why do you still eat sheep and scorpions?"

   "This is for the master, he is recovering from his injuries, and he said he wants to make up his body..."

"It's all absurd to use form to complement form, and he's not a sheep, what form does he make up for?" Zhao Zhongyu paused and said, "If he really wants to eat, turn around and ask someone to go to the vegetable market to see if there are clean shaved ones." Lamb bones, take two pieces back and make soup."

   Zhao Dian should go down.

Zhao Zhongyu turned over, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Why is he spending so much? He's hurting, and he's still drinking. Go and put away all his wine, and ask the restaurant if it can be refunded. If not, You find someone to find a way to sell it."

"There are still these medicines," Zhao Zhongyu paused, but still endured, and did not deprive his son of the right to take medicine, "Don't ask a doctor to come to your door next time, let someone carry him to the pharmacy for consultation, just let him Relax."

  Doctors have to pay for transportation when they come to the door, so it is a little bit cheaper.

   Zhao Zhongyu is worthy of being Zhao Changyu's younger brother. It's fine if he didn't pay attention to it before, but when he pays attention to it, he still looks like his elder brother when he is frugal.

  Turn through the ledger, and from time to time, write off one or two unnecessary expenses, or replace them with cheaper ones.

Even for vegetables, he does not allow his servants to go to the Dongshi vegetable market, but asks to go to the Nanshi market. It is best to go to the small market not far from the gate of the city to buy. There are farmers outside the city who pick some to sell from time to time. Yes, because it is not scaled, the price is also very random, and it can be cut down once it is cut.

  Zhao Zhongyu even lowered his own standard of living, so he could squeeze out a lot from the money he kept, but it was still not enough.

  Zhao Zhongyu frowned, and asked, "Is there anything that can be cashed out quickly at Jizhi? Some gold and silver ornaments, or jade."

  Zhao Dian doesn't know much about Zhao Ji's stuff, but Zhao Zhongyu has it here, "There is a hair crown inlaid with gold in the grandfather's storeroom."

   It was worn by Zhao Zhongyu when he was young, he liked it very much, but because he is getting older, he no longer wears the one inlaid with gold, but changed it to jade.

Zhao Zhongyu pretended he didn't hear it, and after thinking about it seriously, he said: "I remember that he had a pair of saddles inlaid with jade pieces, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. You can find them tomorrow, and many generals have arrived now. Things went well."

   Zhao Dian responded and retreated silently.

   Zhao Ji hadn’t ridden a horse for a long time, and he was imprisoned to recuperate his injuries, so he didn’t know about it at all. Zhao Dian went to the warehouse in his yard to search, found the saddle and took it away.

  He only went out for half a day, and then came back with a bag of golden beans.

  Zhao Zhongyu handed these golden beans and the money he squeezed out to Zhao Hanzhang, and said calmly, "Tell me if you don't have enough."

Zhao Hanzhang took it, and happily agreed, not knowing how hard it was to get the money. After all, in her memory, several elders were very rich. Now, in the Zhao clan, there should be no one poorer than her. ?
