Mr. Shi felt very distressed when he heard this, as if he was bleeding. "The two Ning Rong's mansions borrowed 100 taels of silver. Our family's foundation was not as good as the Jia family. In order to show decent appearance, he borrowed more, a total of 700,000 taels of silver. He had already spent 700,000 taels of silver at that time. Now he has paid back the money, and he probably can empty his family."

When Shi Ding heard this, he was in a bad mood. "Even if the interest is not paid, we can indeed empty our treasury. Dad, will we pay it back?"

Mr. Shi hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and said gritted his teeth and said, "Now our family has only a title, and it is worse than the day in the army, and His Majesty clearly attacked us nobles.

If you can get the handle of Ning Rong’s two mansions, you can naturally find our historians. Anyway, as far as I know, one of these powerful officials in the capital is one, and there is no clean under your butt, and it cannot stand the investigation."

Shiding looked bitterly, stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, let's pay it back. We won't pay it back, we will only pay it back 700,000 taels of silver. How outstanding Jia Jing and Jia He were back then. After hiding their strength and maintaining a low profile, they will use this trick as soon as they come out. It must have a deep meaning. If they pay back the money, we will pay it back."

Mr. Shi nodded, "It's right that you can think about it this way. Money is not brought by life or death. When it comes to our position, it is not that important. Your Majesty's trust and the talent of his descendants is the most important thing."

After saying that, Mr. Shi also went to the warehouse with Shi Ding.

When the wives at home heard about it, they all ran over.

When they saw the silver carrying boxes and boxes, their eyes turned red, and some of them were reluctant to let go, and they fainted.

Although the younger generation is reluctant to leave the Jia family, they dare not object if Mr. Shi is there.

Just as the Minister of Revenue, Lord Dai, was about to go to the yamen, he heard the officials below coming, "Sir, the Shi family has come here to pay back the money."

Lord Dai was overjoyed today. Unexpectedly, on the first day, five families took the initiative to pay back the money, "Let's go and meet the Shi family."

Shi Ding personally interacted with the silver and then counted 700,000 taels of silver in person. Seeing the silver being moved into the warehouse in boxes, his heart was bleeding.

However, for the sake of the future of the Shi family, I can only bite the bullet and pay back the money.

When Shi Ding took his IOU back from the Ministry of Revenue, his heart didn't hurt so much.

Lord Dai smiled and said, "The Japanese official in Ming Dynasty is going to report to Your Majesty. I believe Your Majesty must be very happy about paying back the money today."

The Shi family paid back 700,000 taels, plus the previous morning, which totaled more than 2 million taels of silver. For a country, this money is not much, but it can also do something to relieve the pressure from the Ministry of Revenue.

When Shi Ding heard this, he suddenly felt no more distressed. "Thank you, Lord Dai, for your kindness. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, we as ministers must not unconsciously. It is natural to repay debts."

Lord Dai was even happier when he heard this, "Lord Shi was wise."

Shi Ding was in a happy mood and came out of the Ministry of Revenue with ease. After returning home, he told Mr. Shi about his passing.

Mr. Shi nodded, "In the future, the food and clothing cost at home is reduced by half, so that His Majesty will know that our family almost eats braised vegetables in order to pay back the money."

Shi Ding smiled bitterly, "Yes, father."

When Wang Ziteng received a report from the servant below and said that the Shi family had paid back the money, he was so angry that he smashed a vase.
