Chapter 204: The Legendary Gold Mine
Finally, Yun Yang finally counted all the treasures she thought were important, and from time to time she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed a few times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Rong and Da'er watched below, like thorns in their backs. Shi Rongxin said: "Most of the mothers have heard some letters, and they deliberately want to check the treasury today." Although nothing was found, Niangniang was already suspicious in her heart, and specially made a show for us to remind us to converge. ”
Da'er thought more: "If the mother wants to check the two of us in a few days, she will definitely be filled with stuffing, and no matter what, she will get rid of the stolen gold tomorrow, in case she has a long night." ”
The next morning, when it was still dark, Shi Rong and Da'er slipped out of the Qiao Hall and hid in a secluded corner. Looking around to see if there was anyone, Shi Rong handed a dark green burden to Da'er and said, "Today, you must exchange all of them for copper coins and store them in the cabinet." ”
Da'er nodded, and was about to take over the burden, Shi Rong pulled his hand back at this time and said, "Remember that it's **** open, don't fight ghost ideas!" Da'er snatched the burden and said: "Don't worry, I'm still messing around with you in the future, how can I do this self-digging grave!" ”
Hearing him say this, Shi Rong felt a little relieved, but he still took a corner of the burden and refused to let go.
Seeing him like this, Da'er said anxiously: "If you keep grinding, the night guard will arrive, and everyone will get all the stolen goods!" ”
Shi Rong thought about it reasonably, so he had to let go, and Da'er quickly wrapped the burden in his arms and slipped in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Gate out of the palace.
For a whole day, Shi Rong was not reluctant, on the one hand, he was worried that after the mother checked the treasures of the reward, and then checked the gold, silver and cloth of the reward, if they were still like a mirror in their hearts like yesterday, then they would no longer be able to hide. On the other hand, I have to worry about Da'er's intention to see the wealth, if he rolls up the money and runs away, then the blame will be borne by himself, and even if he has ten heads on his shoulders, it will not be enough to cut off.
Thankfully, Concubine Niangniang seems to have forgotten about this and spent the whole day drawing on her desk. Shi Rong had nothing to do, so he went outside the main hall to eavesdrop on Concubine Niangniang's words, but he didn't hear anything.
It was his strange behavior that attracted the attention of Yu Lu, who walked up to him and reprimanded him for not following the rules, so Shi Rong had to accompany the smiling face and gag to get past.
Back in his room, Shi Rong's heart was still up and down, and he finally waited until it was dark.
Drinking green and Sui Su served the concubine Niangniang in the main hall for dinner, Shi Shi and other palace people also ate in the refining workshop, and there was no one outside the hall for a while, Da'er's clever ghost took advantage of this time to touch it back, and took three steps and two steps into the room.
When Shi Rong saw him come back, a stone fell to the ground in his heart. They exchanged glances, and walked to the no-man's land behind the palace one after another, until they walked under the palace wall, and looked around to see if there was no movement, Da'er said in a low voice: "Thirty taels of gold were exchanged for two hundred and ten yuan, and they were deposited in the Fushi Cabinet Workshop in the south of the city......"
Before he finished speaking, Shi Rong slapped him on the head: "I knew that your kid was not so honest, one tael of gold is ten yuan, and thirty taels is three hundred yuan, how can you say that it is two hundred and ten yuan, but I took it privately, I didn't think that I was a bully, this matter is not over!" ”
Da'er rubbed his head aggrievedly and said, "Don't worry, if I want to swallow the money, why don't I swallow it all and leave, and still use it to come back and let you fight?" ”
Shi Rong was asked by him, and he couldn't answer for a while.
Daer said: "Now that the price of gold is at this price, I went to three or four cabinets in a row to find the one with the highest bid." I asked the people in the cabinet shop, and I heard that the price that had just fallen in the past few days was because the emperor Nanzheng had discovered a large gold mine in Longnan, so the gold was not worth as much as it was when it was landed. ”
Shi Rong scolded when he heard it: "You kid doesn't make up nonsense and don't make up a reliable one, so is looking for gold mines like digging the ancestral grave, where you want to find it?" ”
Seeing his voice getting louder, Da'er was so frightened that he covered his mouth: "What are you shouting, you don't want to die, I still want it!" Anyway, if you don't believe it, you have to go to the Ministry of Internal Service to find an acquaintance and ask, and you will know if I am lying! ”
Although Shi Rong was unwilling, he had no choice but to scold and go back to the side hall with Da'er.
The Privy Council's Palace, the lights are on.
"Gold mines? Where did the gold mine come from! Cheng Xin sat in the upper hall and gently hammered the armrest of the mahogany chair with his hand.
Cheng Yanghao didn't understand the meaning of his father's words for a while, and asked tentatively: "Father, now the noble and wealthy families in Luoyang City are all in a hurry to get rid of the gold in their hands, if it is not true news, how can everyone act so consistently?" ”
Cheng Xin glanced at him, and stopped talking.
Cheng Yanghao said on the side: "This is our own court, what taboos do you have?" ”
Cheng Xin saw that he was eager to know the truth, waved his hand left and right, and the servant retreated in amusement.
"Since you want to know so much, then I won't tell you. You say, now that there is more gold, who suffers the most? "There are only two fathers and sons left in the upper hall, Cheng Xin asked.
Cheng Yanghao thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that the person who suffers the most is the person who has the most gold, it is naturally the saint today, but this yellow mine is also found by him, the gold here has fallen, and there is a lot more over there, inside and outside, don't lose it and make money." Naturally, the saints can't suffer losses, and those who suffer are those rich people who have gold. ”
Cheng Xin listened and shook his head.
Cheng Yanghao hurriedly asked, "Father, what do you know?" ”
Cheng Xin said: "You all say that the Holy Lord today is the one who has the most gold, but in fact, the Holy Lord can use less than half of the gold in our house. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yanghao's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"This dynasty followed the system of gold as the upper currency and copper as the lower currency of the previous dynasty, and the household department was in charge of the mint, so everyone felt that the saint had mastered the upper and lower coins of the world, but in fact, it was not. The gold coin factory is controlled by Taifu, and the lower coin factory is the place where the saint has the final say. Cheng Xin said slowly.
Cheng Yanghao listened, and said in a deep voice: "That shouldn't be, today's saint is so hard-hearted, how can he endure it for so long, the country has been defeated, and he can still be led by the nose of a coin factory?" ”
Cheng Kexin pointed his finger on the table, and said with a faint smile: "You young people are just fighting and fighting at every turn, and many things can not be solved by fighting and killing." It's not that even if you win, you can sit firm. ”
"When the saint ascended the throne, Taifu, as the first emperor's closest relative, decisively stood on the side of the saint, King Qi, King Lu, Zhongshan Hou, Shudong Hou, these royal nobles because Taifu was the elder of the clan, the most prestigious, so he followed him to support the saint, so the saint can sit on the dragon chair so smoothly."
