"Brother Su, I heard that you don't plan to stay in the capital for long?" the chief clerk asked naturally.
Su Yunhai nodded and briefly explained the situation to the chief clerk.
The chief clerk originally thought that the Su family was just ordinary people, but he didn't expect that they were so wealthy.
If the Su family was just rich, they would not necessarily be able to establish a friendship between the Gu and Zhou families. They must have other outstanding qualities.
The prefect is indeed a man of insight! He is truly a role model for our generation!
"So that's how it is. If you leave, we don't know when you will come to the capital again, and these debts may become bad debts." The chief clerk said quickly.
"In that case, why don't you transfer these people's debts to the government? It will be much more convenient for the government to come here to collect the debts."
"But don't worry, we will definitely not charge the people extra interest. Everything will be based on the amount on the IOU. How about that?"
Su Yunhai didn't expect that this ancient world could actually outsource debts.
Who says the ancients had no wisdom?
...
...
What we are using now are probably what our ancestors left over.
Su Yunhai thought this was a good idea.
Saved myself a lot of trouble.
The smile on his face immediately became much more sincere.
Immediately explain the situation to the villagers.
But in the hearts of the villagers, they would rather owe the Su family than get involved with the government.
After all, they didn’t have to pay back what they owed the Su family, but how could they dare to keep delaying the payment of what they owed to the government?
Only the Zhang family, the Li family and the villagers of Shan'ao Village agreed readily.
Seeing that most people disagreed, Su Yunhai's last bit of friendship with the villagers was gone.
He checked the accounts with the chief bookkeeper directly in front of the villagers.
The villagers were secretly indignant, but there was nothing they could do.
After returning to the capital, the chief clerk handed over all the debts to Su Yunhai, the total amount was more than 41,000 taels.
Since then.
All debts between the Su family and the villagers were cleared.
Su Yunhai only took 40,000 taels of silver.
There are more than a thousand pieces left.
He took 40% and gave it to the chief clerk as a thank you, and asked him to help pass the other 60% to Lord Wang.
The chief clerk did not expect Su Yunhai to be so generous.
After refusing several times, he finally accepted it happily, feeling that the decision he had made was absolutely correct.
The other side.
I finally arrived in the capital.
Shen Shuli took Shen Yuehua and all the people from the Su and Shen families to excitedly stroll and eat in the city.
The two families rested for two days.
All spirit has been restored.
The interest in shopping is extremely high.
In order to avoid being disliked, excluded and criticized by the people in Beijing.
Chen Shuli took the two families directly to the best clothing store in the city and bought several complete sets of the latest styles of the season for everyone.
Including hairpins for buns, hair crowns for men to tie their hair, jade pendants to hold down long robes, etc., all of them were purchased completely.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.
The two families were dressed up nicely, and their temperament changed completely.
It gives me a sense of city dweller's déjà vu.
Except for what I wear.
Everyone’s greatest passion is eating.
I have tried almost all the famous delicacies in the capital.
While fleeing from famine, we ate porridge and steamed buns every day.
It was either a hodgepodge of various meats, or they would have given up eating if it weren't for the need to fill their stomachs.
Especially the old man Su and his wife who had just come through, and the brothers Su Yunshan and Su Yunlin.
They suffered from severe acclimatization problems in the first few days.
I endured the nausea and ate the tasteless food with a strong meaty smell.
The hard times are finally over.
Even Su Yunshan, who suffers from severe mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stop eating in the food street.
He would buy every kind of delicacy to taste.
He would only eat three bites of the delicious food at most, and would throw the unpalatable food to his cheap descendants.
After walking around for the whole day, he hardly stopped eating and was still eating when it was almost dark. It was magical.
Su Mantang's four siblings and their children didn't mind at all that these foods were the ones their father had eaten.
Everyone ate very happily and was very full.
Who is as lucky as them? They have tried every kind of snack in Beijing!
Such a beautiful day is something I never dared to imagine before!
"Hurry up, I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo and the General's Mansion were sentenced to exile by His Majesty, and now people have been sent to surround the General's Mansion!"
"What? Your Majesty, why did you rob the general's mansion? The general has guarded the border for our dynasty all his life and has made many outstanding achievements. Why did your majesty do this?"
"I heard that the general colluded with the northern barbarians, sold out his country for fame and intended to rebel. Your Majesty, considering the general's meritorious service, did not sentence him to death along with his entire clan."
"What a joke! The general is already second only to the emperor. Why would he rebel? Isn't this nonsense?"
"Maybe the general doesn't want to be a general anymore and wants to sit on the throne? Who can say for sure?"
"That's right. People are greedy. Who wouldn't want that position?"
As the Su and Shen families walked, they heard the people around them excitedly discussing the General's Mansion.
Shen Shuli couldn’t help but frown when she heard this.
Only then did she remember the plot of the original book.
During the time when the Northern Barbarian Army invaded Cangzhou Prefecture, the General's Mansion was abandoned by the Emperor and used to take the blame.
General Xie had already died at the hands of the northern barbarians.
The emperor was adept at throwing dirty water on the dead.
This plot had nothing to do with Shen Shuli, so she didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly.
They had just arrived in the capital when they encountered such a major event.
After all, Chen Shuli was a soldier in her previous life, and she hated the behavior of those in power who randomly threw dirty water on people and killed them according to charges.
Moreover, as an insider, she knew that the general was just a victim in the struggle for imperial power and was wronged.
Thinking of the Xie family.
Shen Shuli always felt that she had forgotten something.
She calmed herself down and tried to remember what she had missed.
'By the way, Wanjun!'
Only then did Shen Shuli remember her best friend!
"My grandparents mentioned on the day they came here that my best friend mysteriously disappeared with me."
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean she might have traveled through time with me?"
"The Mu family, the Mu family is also on the list of people to be liquidated by the emperor!" Shen Shuli's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ari, what are you talking about?"
Shen Yuehua didn't know why her daughter, who was fine, suddenly became dazed and said something incomprehensible.
"What Mu family? What happened to the Mu family?"
Seeing this, my grandparents and Shen’s grandparents and others hurried over to inquire about the situation.
Shen Shuli's face didn't look very good.
There were too many people present for her to reveal.
Shen Yuehua instantly understood her daughter's concerns, and she immediately pulled away all those who were unaware of the situation to make room.
Chen Shuli looked at her grandparents and her uncle and third uncle, and patiently explained: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm worried that Wanjun has also come here, and she should be wearing the clothes of the eldest daughter of the Mu family."
Su Yunlin glanced at the novel a few times, but didn't read it carefully.
He then remembered and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I seem to have seen Mu Wanjun's name in the novel."
Shen Shuli nodded and continued, "There is a Mu family in the novel, which is Mu Wanjun's family. I am worried that if she were to travel through the book, she would be in the body of Mu Wanjun in the book."
"Just now, the people were discussing that the general's mansion would be confiscated and exiled by the emperor."
"The Mu family is also a thorn in the emperor's side. The emperor found an excuse to confiscate their property and exile them. I'm worried that Wanjun will be implicated."
Although both exile and fleeing famine are painful, exile is definitely more painful than fleeing famine!
