Chapter 70 The Furious Liu Mei
"Forget it, try to get as fast as possible. Let's limit it to 20 pm. If you didn't advance, I would give you a silver reward of ten jin. Two days ahead of time, I would give you a silver reward of ten jin. If it could be completed within half a month, I would give you a silver reward of one hundred jin. If you didn't advance a day, I would give you a silver reward of twenty jin!" Zhang Junping didn't want to go to trouble others, mainly because he didn't know anyone in the official craftsman's workshop, so he could not get a fleece, so he could only use the bounty method.
"Official Zhang, do you think this is serious?" After hearing the conditions offered by Zhang Junping, Liu Dajiang's breathing became rapid.
They are forty-eight people, ten jin a day in advance, and each person can get more than 200 yuan. With 200 yuan, what is it worth buying?
"Liu Dajiang, this is a college. He learns the way of a saint and performs the etiquette of a gentleman. You must know that a gentleman's word is as good as a horse!" Zhang Junping nodded with certainty.
Ancient academies were a very sacred place. The people had a heartfelt respect for academies, and this respect was a respect for knowledge.
After receiving Zhang Junping's affirmative reply, Liu Dajiang turned around and shouted to the craftsmen who were working: "Brothers! Zhang Guanren offered to reward silver, and rewarded ten coins a day in advance, and one hundred coins a day in advance five days in advance! I can work harder in my hands!"
·········
At this time, in front of the Zhang family, there were long queues of carriages lined up, and Zhang Lu was greeting the carriages one by one, driving into the mansion one by one.
These carriages were all sent by the Gao family, Yang family, and Cao family.
Dozens of carriages were pulling copper coins and lined up in front of the Zhang family's door. It was spectacular and attracted many idle people to watch the fun.
The housekeepers of the three families brought the account and the Zhang family's account in the yard, and delivered one by one.
The weight of 20,000 jin of copper coins is converted into the later generations, which is 600 tons. Nowadays, a large cart from the Song Dynasty can only carry five or six hundred kilograms. If all the coins sent are copper coins, the whole family will need 2,000 carts.
Fortunately, only a small part of it is copper coins, some are brocade that can be used as money, and some are silver.
Even so, the three families had dozens of carriages, parked in front of the Zhang family.
Originally, according to Cao Xi's intention, it would be better to just take gold and silver. Copper coins were too troublesome, but Zhang Junping and Gao Zunfu disagreed, and they would not show their momentum and would not intimidate Liu Mei.
Cars of copper coins, brocades and silver were sent to the Zhang family. After counting and counting, they were put into the Zhang family warehouse that had long become empty.
Seeing the warehouse gradually becoming richer, Zhang Lu's eyes were filled with tears, and he kept muttering words like "blessing our ancestors, showing our ancestors' appearance."
At night, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture spread all over the country.
Any gossip news is spread with a nose and eyes.
"Do you know? Today, the Gao family, the Yang family, and the Cao family give money to the Zhang family!
Good, I’m much older! I’ve pulled more than a hundred cars, all of which are covered with white silver!” A group of people in the restaurant were making together, drinking turbid wine with fennel beans, and talking loudly about their experiences.
"How did you know? Did you see it?" Someone didn't believe it and questioned.
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes! When a carriage entered the door, one of the bags fell down and white silver ingots spread all over the floor.
My second uncle's cousin's brother-in-law's neighbor is working in the Yang family! I heard from the Yang family's husband instruct the housekeeper to send 200,000 yuan to the Zhang family today!"
"I heard that it is the Gao family, Yang family, and Cao family want to build a winery with the Zhang family to produce Shenxianzui!
Do God know that Gods and Fairies will get drunk even if they drink it!" Immediately, the person from the next table agreed and told a deeper inside story.
"Brother, what kind of wine is Shenxian Zhu? Is it really the wine that the gods drink?" someone asked curiously.
The speaker looked at the other party with contempt, and waited for the other party to bow and ask him to explain, and was satisfied and pretended to be mysterious and popularized information to the other party, "Do you actually don't know that the gods are drunk? Do you know that the gods drink? That's what the officials praised after drinking. This wine should only be found in the sky! The gods drink is a better wine than the gods drink!"
"Then how much does this wine cost? A pound of wine can't be sold for a lifetime?"
"Yiguan money? Yiguan money is only a pound of wine! At least ten coins will be needed for a pound of wine!" Someone immediately objected loudly.
In the teahouse and the wine shop, there was a group of idle people discussing it very fiercely, as if the money was not sent to the Zhang family, but to them.
The Gao family, Yang family, and Cao family have sent money to the Zhang family so high-profile, which has spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture, and naturally it has also reached the ears of Liu Mei, who has just gotten off work.
Liu Mei, who was originally lucky, was speechless and secretly scolded Gao Yang and Cao's three families. You were all kicked by the donkey? I gave the money to Zhang Junping for free?
Sitting in the study and saying a long time to be stunned, Liu Mei called the housekeeper over, "You go and arrange someone to send 200,000 taels of silver to the Zhang family!"
"Master?" The housekeeper Liu Shun thought he had heard it wrong and shouted.
"What's the name? I'm not dead yet!" Liu Mei glared and cursed.
"I really want to give the Zhang family 200,000 taels of silver?" Liu Shun asked carefully for verification.
"You're deaf? You want me to say it again? OK! Let me tell you, I'll send you 200,000 taels of silver to the Zhang family! If you don't have silver, get equivalent gold!" When Liu Mei thought of taking out 200,000 taels of silver, she screamed at the butler Liu Shun as if she was cut by a knife.
I guess if Liu Shun dares to ask another question, Liu Mei will dare to take the inkstone on the desk and let Liu Shun know why the flowers are so red.
"Yes, Master, I'll make arrangements now! But you need to open the door of the treasury in person!" Liu Shun didn't dare to ask too much when he saw Liu Mei was unhappy, and said cautiously.
"I understand! Go and prepare the carriage, I'll come here now!" Liu Mei nodded depressedly.
Liu Shun hurriedly left the study.
When Liu Mei thought of watching 200,000 taels of silver fly away from her home, her eyes turned red and tears fell down.
"Dad, are you crazy? How could you give so much money to the Zhang family?" Liu Congguang, the eldest son of Liu Mei, rushed in from outside and shouted at Liu Mei.
In Liu Congguang's view, the money was his. My father gave the money to the Zhang family and gave it to others, so he was naturally anxious.
Before, Liu Congjian used money to engage in a bullfighting competition, but Liu Congguang didn't say anything because everyone knew that Liu Congjian had an economic mind and could make money.
Half of the family business of the Liu family was rewarded by the officials, and half of it was earned by Liu Congjian.
"Bang! Liu Mei waved her hand and said to her mouth.
"Dad, you... you hit me?" Liu Congguang covered his face, unable to believe that his father who had always loved him would hit him.
"I'll beat you to death! If you hadn't persuaded your brother to fuck the Zhang family, how could it be today?" Liu Mei's anger poured out to her son who had been loved by her in the past.
"Who knows that Zhang family is a dilapidated..."
"Who knows, who knows, who is the old-fashioned powerful man who is easy to mess with? I'll kill you, a rebellious man!" Liu Mei grabbed Liu Congguang and beat him up.
Liu Congguang was beaten so hard that he cried and screamed.
