Chapter 84: 500,000 Guan back to Weizhou
After the banquet, Teacher Zhang took Lin Chong back. It was difficult to explain, so the two of them talked about it all the way, and Lin Chong broke his shoulder when he got drunk.
Lu Da was drunk and was helped to sleep by Zheng Zhiwangjin, and he also arranged for the servant to take care of him.
However, Zheng Zhi was a little anxious when he thought about the wounded in the company. The Tong Jinglai was about to patrol the border, but he first damaged the two generals. He couldn't help but feel a little upset. He really shouldn't have let the two compete after drinking.
A month passed, the snow was melting, and the greenness slowly enveloped the northwest land.
Lin Chong and Lu Da are still hanging their arms every day, but their relationship is getting better and better. Lu Da is generous and Lin Chong is easy-going. The two are destined brothers. Although they met a little late because of Zheng Zhi, they still return to their original trajectory.
Drinking and discussing martial arts is so happy.
Xiaozhong's husband saw Lu Da's hanging arm and asked a few questions. He heard that the person who interrupted Lu Da's arm was Zheng Zhi before. He knew that this person was Lin Chong, so he took the time to see this "Zheng Chong" and sealed the position of a team leader.
Zheng Zhi clicks Mao every day, brings training to deal with business matters, and looks at the letters sent by Pan Xingguo from Tokyo. The pace of life is relaxed.
When I returned home, I felt even more comfortable. There were people to serve all kinds of things. I had nothing to do and had a relationship with my wife and fell in love with Xiaolian. In the evening, my brothers had a good time to drink and eat. I also invited some military leaders or colleagues to drink in Deyue Tower.
Then he was waiting for the Qinzhou Tong Jinglue to come to Weizhou to meet. However, Tong Jinglue was also busy. Tokyo seemed to have repeated the war. The ministers and emperor Zhao Ji were still hesitating whether to really start a war with Xixia again.
This news came to Tong Jingluo's ears, which naturally made Tong Jingluo very worried. If he didn't start a war, Tong Jingluo could not make contributions and could not make contributions. How could Tong Jingluo return to Tokyo? A eunuch who did not return to Tokyo, did not serve the emperor, and guarded the northwest border all year round. This is called how Tong Jingluo could tolerate it.
The gold, silver and jade ware drawn in a large carriage were set off from Qinzhou to Tokyo. Most of these things were for one person, namely the Grand Tutor Cai Jing, who had just served as prime minister last year.
This is also Tong Guan’s only backer in Tokyo now. Cai Jing was demoted to the prefect of Jiangning. Tong Guan went to Jiangnan to collect artworks for the emperor. Cai Jing seized the opportunity to try his best to curry favor with Tong Guan.
Of course, although Cai Jing has been infamous for a thousand years, it cannot be denied that he is a famous calligrapher in history. After cursing Tong Guan, Tong Guan told Cai Jing what kind of calligraphy works he liked. Cai Jing spent a lot of time writing.
Tong Guan brought it to Tokyo to offer it to Zhao Ji, and it was indeed loved by Zhao Ji. Cai Jing returned to Tokyo from then on and became more and more popular. It was in May last year that Cai Jing reached the top and became prime minister with the Taishi.
Of course, Cai Jing was not a person with a bottom line. When Wang Anshi made a struggle between the new and old laws, there were two factions. Whenever the new laws gained power, Cai Jing promoted the new laws and became a solid supporter of the new laws. When Sima Guang came to power, he would abolish the new laws and restore the old laws.
Cai Jing became a staunch supporter of the old law within a few days, and immediately criticized the many disadvantages of the new law. He also wanted to participate in the great achievements of supporting the new emperor, but he did not succeed. He did not succeed, but was demoted again and again. However, Tong Guan's appearance made Cai Jing rise again.
Tong Guan was naturally waiting at home for the reply from Cai Jing and Grandmaster Cai. Without this reply, Tong Jingluo was not in the mood to patrol the border. If he patrols, he would be a white patrol. If the battle is gone, what else can he have?
I was also happy that Zheng Zhi was leisurely. After another month, spring had arrived, and greenness slowly enveloped the earth. This Tong Jinglei couldn't wait for it or the second time.
Instead, Pan Xingguo waited for the country back. He entered the city of Bianliang with tens of thousands of kilograms of wine. With the promotion of this country, it really didn't take much effort. Pan Xingguo returned to Weizhou with a huge sum of 500,000 kilograms.
Zheng Zhi looked at the huge sums in his courtyard and felt like he was having a New Year. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, there was Jiaozi. Jiaozi became famous from Sichuan as a circulating paper currency voucher and spread to Jiangnan and then to Tokyo.
However, when Jiaozi arrives in the northwest, it is waste paper. It can only be exchanged for cash in Tokyo and Jiangnan. That is, Jiaozi shops, in other words, "banks" do not have branches in the northwest. And now Jiaozi is flooded, and I really don't know which one is good or which one is inferior. On the contrary, it is real money and silver.
In Zhao Ji's reign, Jiaozi was also called Qian Yinwu, and gradually he was ruined by the court and basically went to an end.
"Mr. Commander, this trip to Tokyo was really smooth, without a single mistake. All the books are here, please check them out." Pan Xingguo smiled. Even he didn't expect this trip to go so smoothly, and he lived in two places where bandits were rampant. Not only did he not make any difficulties, but the heroes of the Green Forest also gave themselves more convenience.
Ordinary bandits and strong men dared not approach their caravans. When they passed by Hejian Mansion, a strong man gang followed him from afar to check. A Chen Da went out of the caravan and negotiated, and then walked through it safely. It was really shocking.
"You send the account book to Li Er to check, just divide the money according to the shares. If you need it, you should transport it home and put it in two months." Zheng Zhi was really worried when he saw the money, and he had never seen so much real money. He didn't even have a warehouse secret room at home.
Pan Xingguo started to divide the silver chunks in a hurry. After Zheng Zhi sent someone to find Li Er, he walked into the yard.
Walking around the yard, I wanted to find a place to build a secret room to put money on. The money will only increase in the future. It is really a troublesome to have no place to put it on.
In the evening, more than a dozen large boxes were placed in the lobby of the second yard. Niu Da and many people slept in the hall, not daring to leave, and did not dare to close their eyes, for fear that when they woke up, the dozen large boxes would disappear.
The next day, the lobby of the inner courtyard of Zheng Mansion began to break ground. He directly lifted the floor, opened a hole with a large desktop, and dug a cellar in the hall.
For five or six consecutive days, Niu Da didn't close his eyes at night, but he slept soundly during the day. The cellar was finally completed and he moved the big box into the cellar. He covered it with a door panel and locked it up, and then covered it with iron plates and blue bricks.
Finally, the octagonal table was placed on it, and the people in the house felt relieved.
On the contrary, Zheng Zhi slept soundly every day. Although he had a lot of money, he couldn't touch his mind. He still said in his heart that it would be better for future generations. No matter your assets of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan, it was just a bank card.
"Brother, how should I spend so much money?" Lu Da looked at the blue bricks under the octagonal table and spoke.
"You guy can't spend it now, so I'm afraid you won't spend enough in the future." Zheng Zhi replied with a smile.
"So much is not enough to spend? The Sha family has never seen so much money in their lifetime. I originally thought that Pingliang brought five thousand guan when he came back, but I didn't know why he spent it. Now that there are so many, my brother will never spend it in his lifetime." Lu Da held two big gold ingots in his hand and threw his left hand to his right hand.
"You have to earn more..." Zheng Zhi suddenly felt a little down and said this earnestly. In the future of troubled times, this little money is too little.
"Of course, the more money you have, the better. My brother has to make so much money and can't spend it. However, I don't know which merchant can make it open..." Lu Da looked at the big gold ingot in his hand and was worried. It was really a problem with commercial payment in this era. It was not as simple as modern times. I would give one hundred and find eighty.
If you really use gold to spend it, the merchants who can find it must first check the quality and not only weigh it, but also weigh it. After weighing, you must discuss with the buyer the specific way to exchange it for silver. When you want to find money, you must prepare two silver coins of large and small silver coins, and the silver ingots must be carefully considered. The silver ingots and silver cakes are even more troublesome, and the size and weight are different. In short, it is a troublesome thing.
"Brother Luda, it's not easy to have more money, just leave it to your son." Shi Jin also continued, this principle is the simplest truth in this world, and savings will naturally be left to future generations.
"Uh??? Where did the son come from the Sa family..." Lu Da was stunned by this sentence. He was thirty years old and didn't even have a wife. Lu Da never thought about marrying a wife and having children, and he had no elders in the family to take care of him. At this time, Shi Jin said it, and he felt something was wrong.
"It's better to ask my brother to talk to us about a marriage. I'm twenty years old, and I'm the only one in the Shi family. If you don't leave a few sons, how dare you meet the ancestors and ancestors?" Shi Jin was a little sad when he said this, and the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors were burned by a fire.
Zheng Zhi was reminded by Shi Jin's words, and looked back at the two of them, as if he really needed to marry them. He had never taken it seriously before, and it was Zheng Zhi's modern consciousness that being single in his twenties was not a big deal.
"Let's go back and ask someone to tell you about your marriage, and ask a few matchmakers to come. Whoever finds a good daughter, just give it money." Zheng Zhi didn't think it was too difficult. Even if he was a meat seller, he married a good wife, so Lu Dashijin was naturally no problem.
