Chapter 946 The Dowry
Qin Surong said at this moment: "With the current situation in the mansion, I am afraid that even 5 taels of silver will not be available."

"Impossible, if the Houfu is big, it is impossible to not even get 5 taels of silver." The old lady turned her head and said in disbelief.

"Yes, as far as I know, there are about 8 taels of cash in the warehouse." Aunt Gu said.

"There are 8 taels of cash in the warehouse.

But there are so many people in the mansion who have to eat and wear. At the end of the year, each mansion has to give festival gifts. After the spring, each village has to have a lot of expenses, and ordinary human relations also need a lot of money.

To this I also added three months of income from various shops, otherwise it would not be enough at all. "

"Impossible, there are so many properties in the Hou Mansion, and the annual income is at least a million taels of silver. How about all the silver?" Third Aunt Gu asked in disbelief.

On the other hand, Second Aunt Gu looked at the old lady thoughtfully. Before that, she vaguely knew that Mrs. Liu and the old lady were enriching their own pockets, but she didn't expect them to be greedy so much.

Sure enough, Qin Surong sighed and continued: "But the actual income of the waiting mansion in the mansion's account is less than 30 taels of silver each year, just enough to cover the expenses of the various places in the mansion.

I also checked the accounts of various industries to find out that the income reported by each industry is only [-]% every month, and the rest is all transferred to other places by the Liu family. "

Speaking of this, he looked at the old lady and said, "I don't know about this, but the old lady knows?"

"What, so much embezzlement, how about the money, wouldn't it all be cheaper for the Liu family?" Third Aunt Gu asked immediately.

"I don't know." Qin Surong shook her head, but still looked at the old lady.

The old lady was a little scared by her, but she couldn't tell the real reason, so she blinked and said: "I didn't expect the old man to raise a white-eyed wolf for so many years."

Anyway, now that the Liu family is dead and the Liu family is gone, they have no way of investigating even if they want to.

However, He Miao guessed the whereabouts of the money, probably supporting King Ning in raising private soldiers.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the old lady was so stupid. With such a big investment, plus the fact that a daughter was given to King Ning for nothing, she could guarantee that King Ning would not kill anyone after he won the throne.

After all, keeping private soldiers is a big taboo in the royal family. Once the news spreads, King Ning will be in the top position, and that position may not be stable.

"Then what should I do, how much can Jinyan's dowry give?" Third Aunt Gu looked at Qin Surong and asked.

Then he thought of something and asked, "What about the antique ornaments in the warehouse?"

"Grandpa ordered before to make up for Jinxian's dowry, so what the mansion sells are porcelain decorations and the like, which can be regarded as a family fortune.

If the third aunt thinks it is feasible, then the niece and daughter-in-law will pick some more, plus the things received at the annual ceremony, it should be enough for 10 taels of silver. "

"No, in this way, the dowry of the two of them will empty out the house, and it will be halved." The old lady immediately retorted.

After hearing this, the others all agreed with the old lady's words. After all, there are still many princes and ladies in the mansion who are not married.

"No, without the Liu family's corruption, then our whole government will save more than half a year in the next year, and we will recover.

What's more, the dowry is a daughter's face, and it is already demeaning to use something to cover it. If it is reduced by half, then others will see the joke of our Houfu. "
