Duan Peng looked at Liang Chuan with a very complicated expression. He had also heard anecdotes about Liang Chuan in Bianjing in the morning. Duan Peng just dismissed the fact that he and Ding Wei rode together in the same car and called Xia Song brothers and sisters.
How to make him take it seriously.
People outside don't know who those husbands are. When working in the imperial court, the gap between superiors and subordinates is wider than the gap between ancestors and grandchildren for several generations. Can people of this level be seen by themselves if they want to?
I don't even dare to sing like this in the lyrics.
Zhao Weixian is going back to Bianjing. This is not hearsay. How did Liang Chuan know about it? The fact that he dared to tell himself meant that he was sure. When the plague broke out, Liang Chuan vowed to go to Weiyuan Building to ask for help. He knew the army well and was under the jurisdiction of his superiors. How could money and food be so easy to ask for, but Liang Chuan said to take it? I brought it!
Duan Peng could only sigh. It was not easy to be admitted to the imperial examination and get an official position. To achieve this goal, we need to take another step forward. The right time, place and people are indispensable. Isn't it what Liang Chuan said, if you want it, you can have it. ?
Liang Chuan inadvertently caught Duan Peng's expression in his eyes and said lightly: "Is there something unspeakable? Your Excellency, please don't say it. We are old friends. We should help friends when they are in trouble!"
Duan Peng looked at Liang Chuan's eyes, clearly waiting for him to take the initiative to express his position. To be honest, it was a hardship that ordinary people could not understand for him to reach this point. Now asking him to go to Liang Chuan is different from going to Liang Chuan to ask for an official position. , how could he lose his face because of the arrogance in his heart?
Liang Chuan looked at Duan Peng who was hesitant to speak, and finally smiled bitterly. Duan Peng, Duan Peng, if he really didn't care about anything and came to beg him, he might not necessarily like him. On the contrary, he would He was so arrogant that Liang Chuan felt that this person was indeed someone worth fighting for!
Liang Chuan didn't say anything, he just made a gesture of seeing off guests and said to Duan Peng: "Master Duan, please go back to the Yamen first. If there is a day in the future when you are crowned the prefecture capital, please remember this day for me, Phoenix." The mountain villagers will do their best to help these poor people!"
this. . .
Duan Peng looked at Liang Chuan with a look of disbelief on his face. . He was really so sure of putting himself on the throne of the state capital. What kind of extraordinary ability was this?
Liang Chuan had an "I'm not kidding you" expression on his face. Duan Peng became more and more scared as he looked at it. He didn't believe that things could be so easy to handle, let alone that Liang Chuan had such abilities. But what if it really comes true one day?
He had a dizzy feeling, as if this world was no longer the peaceful scene where the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius he knew was prevalent. Could it be that a small man in Liangchuan could really help him to get to Weiyuan Tower? If he was so strong, didn't that mean that Liang Chuan's Are your words more effective than those in court?
The New Year is coming soon, it’s time to show concern and condolences to Xia Song, and of course, Zhao Yun, Prince Zhao, this guy is the highlight!
Liang Chuan went into the sugar shop and came out again only after it was dark and busy.
The women were as tough as iron and didn't feel tired at all. It was almost the second watch, so Liang Chuan grabbed Yi Niang and told him about giving gifts to people in the court.
Although people come back thousands of miles away, etiquette is indispensable.
Relationships must be maintained by money!
In the middle of the night, Yi Niang found two ladies and told Liang Chuan what he meant.
For a moment, the two ladies took out their keys without hesitation.
The treasure house is under the school.
Yi Niang dug up the floor tiles in the school and covered them with iron plates. When the iron plates were lifted, there was a dark tunnel inside. Shen Yuzhen held a candle lantern in her hand, and four people entered the treasure house at the same time.
Walking to the bottom of the tunnel, the space in the tunnel suddenly opened up! The entire underground space seems extremely spacious, and people living in it don’t feel depressed at all!
A huge iron door stood in front of the four of them. Liang Chuan entered the financial room of his home for the first time, as if he were a thief, and he was more nervous than outsiders.
The three of them took out three different keys and inserted them into the holes of the iron door at the same time. Yi Niang put her hand on the handle of the iron door and pulled it. A glimmer of light seemed to appear in the dark treasure house. Although the light of the oil lamp was dim, Looking inside, the gold in the warehouse directly reflected a light, making people feel dizzy!
gold!
Such a dreamy scene seems to only appear in movies, just like a bank vault. There are countless stacks of gold inside, exuding a charming and dazzling light. Anyone with a normal mind will be fascinated by this luxury when they see it. The aura was so shocking that I was speechless!
Yes, Liang Chuan was a little stunned. What was inside was not ingots or gold nuggets, but mountains of gold bricks. Each brick was bigger than the green bricks used to build the wall, and the layers upon layers were taller than others. As soon as he entered this treasure house, Liang Chuan was stunned by the gold alone. Not to mention the silver ingots and copper coins in bamboo baskets strung with ropes, which he couldn't even see with his eyes!
"How much money is there in total?"
Liang Chuan stood there blankly, touching the gold bricks here and moving them there. The gold bricks weighed heavily on his hands. A gold brick weighed dozens of kilograms, so it was extremely difficult to move it!
"As of last month, the total amount of money in our treasury was 3.76 million yuan, no copper coins!" Zheng Ruoying reported a number, a number that would make Liang Chuan laugh out of his dreams!
"This... so much!"
Lin Yiniang said happily: "Yes, you must be the landlord with the most private wealth in Xinghua. I'm afraid there are few people in Fujian Road who are richer than you, Rich Man Liang!"
"Oh my god, just relying on Qingyuan Port, how much money have you made in these years?"
Zheng Ruoying said: "Not only the port, but also the Wanda Chamber of Commerce and Taobao stores have made a lot of money. They have received too many copper coins. We have to ask shopkeeper Su to exchange the money into silver or gold every month, so as to facilitate transportation. It’s more convenient for storage, otherwise this warehouse will be expanded by ten times!”
“What is the exchange ratio of gold to silver?”
Lin Yiniang said: "We all exchange nine hundred coins for one!"
"It stands to reason that one tael of silver can be exchanged for one tael of silver. How come you can exchange it for one tael of silver with nine hundred coins?"
Shen Yuzhen explained: "We couldn't figure this out at first, but we finally figured it out after asking those who came to exchange money. One or two cents of money is always good, but copper coins are much easier to use than silver. Our Qingyuan Port There are a mountain of copper coins, and many people want to exchange them with us. Firstly, it is inconvenient for us to store them. We can’t put down too many copper coins. Secondly, our expenses are not that big. If we exchange them for silver or gold, it will be easier to save and good luck. It’s more suitable for us!”
Qingyuan Port charges renewal fees, but
And they are all small handling fees. The advantage is that the quantity of goods is large enough, and there is a net inflow of goods. There is no need to worry about the issue of silver redemption. Therefore, when the money is circulating, most of the copper coins are in the hands of Qingyuan Port, and the copper coins are in the hands of Qingyuan Port. Although the face value is small, as Shen Yuzhen said, these copper coins are hard currency. Who would go out to buy groceries while carrying a large gold brick on the street?
Liang Chuan was so moved that he had tears welling up in his eyes and said: "This family owes its existence to the three of you. You have paid too much. Hey, why do we have a bad stomach and can only eat soft rice? Look at this How many lifetimes can you spend this much money?"
Yi Niang said calmly: "Don't think that this money is a lot. Song Youcai from Tianshan Mountain came to see me a few days ago and said that the salary you asked me to pay was spent a lot of money at once. It turned out that I was worried that I couldn't afford it, but now you want to To support so many people on the mountain, this money is not easy to spend!”
"That's true. I'm afraid the cost will be even higher in the future!"
Yi Niang is even more calculating than Liang Chuan. Although she has a lot of money, she still has thousands of people waiting for her to eat. If she is not careful, one day the court will go crazy and take away Qingyuan Port, or impose a sea ban. Guan, those thousands of people went to the streets to beg for food?
"Who are you going to give a gift to and how are you going to give it?"
Liang Chuan thought about it and said: "The first one is naturally Prince Zhao. However, you don't have to give all the money to Prince Zhao, and he may not accept it. Or you can give some local specialties and some tea from our mountains to Prince Zhao. Gold and the like are a bit tacky, see if there are any pearls, jade and the like and send some over."
"How much value should I prepare?" Yi Niang asked.
"Just prepare about ten thousand yuan, mainly tea and specialties. Then there is Mr. Xia Songxia. He married his daughter this year, but ended up donating all the betrothal gift. I'm afraid he will be very distressed. He is not like Prince Zhao. No, give them all in gold, give him 50,000 guan, and I will write another letter later and take advantage of this Chinese New Year opportunity to ask him to do something!"
"Gene Era"
These women had no idea who Xia Song was, and they were about to give away 50,000 yuan. Yi Niang felt distressed, but she didn't hesitate and followed Liang Chuan's instructions and wrote it down.
Fifty thousand guan, I couldn't get this much money from selling them before.
What Liang Chuan was thinking was that the money would be used to pave the way for Duan Peng. If there was a chance in the future, he would probably have to cut his flesh again.
The position of Weiyuan Tower is worth money. If Duan Peng can go up smoothly, I believe he will not turn his back on the master. I am afraid that he will be able to do Taiping business for many years in the future, and then his income will not be 50,000 yuan!
This deal is still a good deal!
"Who else wants to send something? I'll prepare it?"
"You prepare some wild honey that I raised in the mountains a few years ago, and I will give it to Queen Mother Liu!"
who?
As soon as the three words "Queen Mother Liu" came out, the three people with six eyes immediately looked over. They thought they heard wrong, "Queen Dowager Liu?"
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Yi Niang sounded a bit like she was dreaming, and she murmured to Liang Chuan: "Who do you think you want to give away?"
They didn't know who Prince Zhao was with Xia Song. They must be high-ranking officials, but it was impossible for Queen Mother Liu and the others not to know. This woman's reputation was so great that it was even bigger than the official title!
