Seeing that Fang Xiaoru wanted to say something else, Chen Kan quickly continued: "Teacher, don't worry, the students know what's going on.
Agreeing to break off the engagement today is also a decision made by the student after careful consideration.
Because the students concluded that Prince Jin could not be arrogant for much longer, so it would be more beneficial for the students to establish a clear relationship with Prince Jin's palace as soon as possible.
To avoid being implicated by Zhu Jixi in the future, the students would not be able to stay in that prison for a day. "
Fang Xiaoru frowned: "How do you know that King Jin will not be arrogant for long?"
"Because the students will make trouble for him!"
"Huh? Asshole!"
"Just kidding, teacher, please calm down and listen to the students carefully."
"If you can't tell me anything, don't blame me for taking action to clean up the house today!"
Chen Kan didn't take Fang Xiaoru's threat seriously at all.
He came to sit where Zhu Jixi was just now and placed the gold in his arms on the table.
When Fang Xiaoru saw this, he had no choice but to sit down aside. He wanted to see what this traitor had to say?
"Ahem."
Clearing his throat, Chen Kan asked: "Teacher, why do you think His Majesty established...the reduction of the vassal state?"
Fang Xiaoru said expressionlessly: "Of course I'm worried that the feudal king's tail will not fall off and it will affect the central government."
Chen Kan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty wants to reduce the vassalage, but what about King Yan?"
Fang Xiaoru looked thoughtful, and after a moment, he took over the conversation and said: "King Yan himself is a vassal king. He is very aware of the harm that vassal kings bring to the country, so once his position is stabilized, he will definitely implement the strategy of reducing the vassal state again."
Chen Kan smiled, and sure enough, Fang Xiaoru also thought of this.
This old guy is pretending to be confused.
Otherwise, how could he have turned a blind eye to his promise to break off the engagement?
"The teacher's discernment is as bright as a torch."
Chen Kan gave me a small flattery.
Fang Xiaoru nodded, with a reserved and contented look on his face.
Then he relaxed and said: "That's all, since you can think of these things, I won't bother to care about you, so you can take care of yourself."
"yes."
The two masters and disciples looked at each other and saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes.
A hint of enlightenment arose in Chen Kan's heart.
Fang Xiaoru is already starting to cultivate himself.
What happened today may be his first test for himself.
"time to eat."
Seeing that the conversation between the two had ended, Zheng opened the door and shouted.
The two of them stood up and entered the room together.
The one thousand taels of gold were placed on the table outside the courtyard.
And neither Fang Xiaoru, Chen Kan, nor Zheng took another look.
...
...
Early the next morning, Chen Kan went out.
Since I decided to renovate the house, I happened to have an enemy come to give me money.
Then everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind.
After walking under the bright sun for nearly an hour, Chen Kan finally walked from the southeast of Jinling City to the southwest of the city.
Jinling Shibafang is the destination of Chen Kan’s trip.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered 45,000 handicraft craftsmen households from all over the country, about 200,000 people, to enter the capital.
It aims to develop handicraft production in Jinling City to prosper the market and provide products for military and civilian use.
After the craftsmen entered the city, the imperial court allocated a large piece of land in the southwest of Jinling City to accommodate them, and set up offices here to make cloth makers, bow makers, carpenters, liquor makers, cotton weavers, gold, silver, copper, iron... Waiting for eighteen cities.
If Chen Kan wants to repair the house, he only needs to come here to find everything he needs.
Including building materials and construction workers, etc.
Carpenter's Workshop, this is a workshop that occupies an area not much smaller than his old residence.
Standing in front of the square gate, Chen Kan touched the heavy ten gold bricks in his arms and suddenly felt confident.
The uncle is here to spend money today!
Half an hour later, Chen Kan fled out of the square gate with a mournful face.
Because in just half an hour, his thousand taels of gold had been squandered.
Chen Kan was speechless and choked.
Where is my money?
I originally thought that one thousand taels of gold was a huge sum of money, but who knew I would spend it so freely.
It hasn’t been spent yet, so it’s gone?
Chen Kan looked at the empty money bag and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, no matter what era, nothing related to houses is cheap.
All the one thousand taels of gold have been spent, so I can only get a simplified version.
Expensive, too expensive, too expensive.
You must know that in the early Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of gold was still very strong.
One tael of gold can be exchanged for four taels of silver and four thousand copper coins.
According to the price of rice in the early Ming Dynasty, ordinary money could buy one stone of rice, and one stone of rice was about ninety-five kilograms, which was close to five cents per pound.
One tael of gold can buy four stones of rice. If converted using the price of rice in later generations, it would be about two thousand soft sister coins.
One thousand taels of gold is two million soft girl coins.
Well, based on this calculation, a house covering thirty acres of land will be renovated and all kinds of furniture will be provided.
All-inclusive package.
Spending two million doesn’t seem too expensive!
A simple calculation, although, but.
I just feel unhappy inside.
"Bah, profiteer!"
Pointing at the square gate and cursing in a low voice, Chen Kan felt refreshed.
So he turned around and prepared to go home.
But as soon as he turned around, two strong men with controlled knives and sinister faces stopped him.
"Two good men are both gangsters on the street. Can you give me some face?"
Chen Kan was about to cry but had no tears. Was he guilty of Tai Sui?
Why do we encounter danger wherever we go?
"Are you Chen Kan?"
Chen Kan cried mournfully and said, "Yes, what are your orders to these two heroes? If you are short of money, I, I can't do anything, because I am also short of money."
The two strong men looked at each other, and one of them said angrily: "Mr. Chen, our prince has invited you."
"Um?"
It's not on the Green Forest Road, so that's fine.
Chen Kan straightened his chest and asked, "Who is your prince? Do I know him?"
"You'll know when you go there."
After saying that, the two strong men carried Chen Kan indiscriminately and walked towards a carriage not far away.
"call……"
Chen Kan took a long breath and skillfully raised his hands to cover his face.
"Chen Kan, I am really curious, why do you always have the luck to turn bad luck into good fortune every time?"
A familiar voice sounded.
When Chen Kan landed on the ground, he saw Zhu Gaoxu sitting on the carriage, looking at him curiously.
"Tsk, I thought it was some prince."
Chen Kan curled his lips and cupped his hands perfunctorily: "The common people have met His Highness the Prince of Gaoyang."
"Without courtesy, let's talk. I am very curious."
Chen Kan's face twitched and he asked: "Do you have anything to do with me, Your Highness? If nothing happens, the common people will leave first. After a busy day, the common people haven't eaten yet."
Zhu Gaoxu jumped off the carriage, looked down at Chen Kan with his hands behind his hands, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't eaten either. Let's go to Judelou. I'll treat you to this."
