Chapter 5: What a Blessing
The fifth young master on the second floor suddenly had black lines on his face, you can jump when people dig pits, can you be more stupid when you are in charge?
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Meng Shaoguang waved at Meng Boyan with a smile, took the box handed over by Meng Boyan and handed it to the shopkeeper with both hands, and said very heroically: "The Bright Moon Sword given by the sixth prince is now given to the fifth young master, no money." ”
Shopkeeper Ding looked at the box in his hand in a daze, silently recalling the previous words, is there something wrong? He's talking about eight boxes of five million in total, not five million per box!!
"The shopkeeper will send the money to King An's Mansion later, five million per box and eight boxes for a total of forty million. All silver tickets are needed, convenient. "After Meng Shaoguang finished speaking, he walked out with people, and when he went out, he turned back to the dumbfounded shopkeeper and said, "It's 40 million silver, don't convert it into gold." made the shopkeeper Ding want to crash into the pillar and die.
"Young Master......" The shopkeeper looked at Wuchen who came down from the second floor with a crying expression, and felt extremely aggrieved! He has never suffered such a big loss in his life!
Wu Chen, who was dressed in black, raised his eyelids and glanced at the shopkeeper, and the next second, his eyes fell on the box in the hands of the shopkeeper Ding.
The black box is engraved with delicate patterns, the silver period line outlines the pattern pattern, and the bright red blooming flowers bloom with a strange and deadly temptation.
Knocking open the box, the two short swords were facing each other, and the pinnacles were fierce and cold. The style is the same, but the colors are different: a black background with white lines, and the sword surface is patterned with the flower and leaf stems on the other side, winding to the handle, cold and translucent; A handful of red lines on a black background, tattooed with flowers in full bloom, petals scattered straight handles, bewitching and beautiful.
Wu Chen picked up the one with white lines, and saw that the white lines seemed to be embedded in the bones of the black background, as if they were alive in a flash. The top of the handle is engraved with the word Mingxin with a small seal.
Wu Chen played with Mingxin and walked out, and ordered: "Send the other one to King An's Mansion with the silver ticket." ”
Shopkeeper: "......"
Master, you're right? That's 40 million, we lost 35 million this time, you can't be bought with a sword, not to mention what does it mean that someone gave you two and you returned one to others! Or you have both, a pair is worth hundreds of thousands! We can at least lose a little less!!
Of course, Wuchen, who had returned home, couldn't hear the shopkeeper's voice, he was holding a pen at the desk at the moment, and he was seriously describing something. And Mingxin was lying on the desk obediently.
"Brother~ I heard that the major general went to Hua'an to be a man?!" The fifth second young master, Fifth Jue, ran in happily, obviously only three years younger than Fifth Chen, but his temperament was still like a child.
Meng Shaoguang went to the battlefield with his father at the age of twelve, and became famous at the age of fifteen. And the fifth second young master's fifth young master's greatest wish is to go into battle to kill the enemy, but his parents don't allow it, so he can only think about it secretly. But the worship of Meng Shaoguang is absolutely like a surging river.
"Wow, what a beautiful dagger!" The fifth Jue almost pounced.
Wu Chen's pen turned quickly, and after drawing the last stroke, he instructed: "Be careful, don't hurt your hands." ”
Fifth Jue's eyes lit up, and he was reluctant to put it down when he held it in his hand. "Brother, this is what the Major General sent? What about the other handful? ”
Looking at Wu Jue's shining eyes, Wu Chen knew what he wanted to do. Reaching out and taking the Mingxin in his hand and putting it on the table, he leaned over and looked at the fifth Jue with a warm smile.
"Have you read the account books of Qianzhou and Guyang?"
Fifth Jue: "...... If you don't give it, you won't give it, what kind of account book do you mention? "Fifth Jue, but I heard that this short sword is for the fifth young master, although he is the second in line, is he also the fifth young master. The eldest brother is so unfriendly, he obviously doesn't like swords and doesn't give it to himself.
Wu Chen didn't care what he was thinking, seeing that he didn't mention it, he moved a position and sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea before saying: "I blocked it for you last time when my father asked you to go to Qianzhou to check the accounts, and I won't be able to hide next time." ”
Fifth Jue slipped away as soon as he covered his ears and raised his legs, business or something was really not suitable for him.
Wu Chen looked at Wu Jue's back and shook his head speechlessly, and his gaze touched the Ming Xin on the table and became profound.
The Six Princes.
No matter what the fifth family is, King An's Mansion is a faction of people who are happy.
Meng Shaoguang just went out for a walk and came back with 40 million taels of silver, which was enough for 300,000 Nan'an Army to live for four years! If you buy new weapons, military uniforms, quilts, and war horses, you can last for two years! The most important thing is that the 40,000,000 taels of silver were obtained for nothing......
Meng Boyan looked at the whole box of porcelain 10,000 taels of silver tickets and smiled from ear to ear. Meng Shaoguang saw the black lines on his head, and said in his heart, Uncle Yan, can we not be so embarrassed, it is only 40 million taels. Your niece and I plan to pull a strong backup for our Nan'an Army, not to mention 40 million at that time, even ten and 40 million is not a problem, okay.
Meng Boyan finished his speech, and ordered people to put away the silver tickets, and prepared to send them back to Hebei tomorrow.
Meng Shaoguang glanced at the sky full of sunset, squinted his eyes at Meng Boyan and said, "Uncle Yan, I'm afraid this money is not enough." ”
Meng Boyan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed after realizing what Meng Shaoguang meant: "It must not be enough!" How can 40 million of the 300,000 Nan'an army be! His words are righteous and right, as if they are not half-baked.
Meng Shaoguang stood up with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a touch of playfulness between his eyebrows flashed, "Find a few clever ones, just say that the fifth family donated 10 million to King An's Mansion, and you must know everything to Beijing in one night." "If it weren't for the 300,000 soldiers of the Annan Army and how could the capital be safe, how could the rich squires enjoy themselves in peace, and the royal family and nobles...... Hehe, don't bleed if you can afford to lose this person!
Looking at Meng Shaoguang's distant back, Meng Boyan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked. The fact is that since Meng Shaoguang went to Yuwang's Mansion to the present, Meng Boyan has always been like this, and he is simply a money fan who has an eye for money, where is there still half a point of elegance before.
Anyway, the princess had already made it clear to the emperor before, and who in the capital didn't know about the emperor's deduction of the Nan'an army's salary. Now Meng Shaoguang is a big fanfare, and the people are already puzzled, isn't this news exciting. Let's not talk about the conflict with the emperor head-on, let's donate some money. The fifth family gave 10 million, and who could get less of the rest? As long as this donation is made at the beginning, it is not anything else, it is face!
Meng Shaoguang was afraid that he had already expected the next thing from going to Yuwangfu, and going to Yuwangfu was the introduction, telling everyone that she was okay, and everyone who should give gifts should come; Next, go to the pawnshop with great fanfare; After that, it is time to spread such public opinion. What is considered in each step, and how can this calculation be compared to ordinary people?
The gift of the four princes and Hua Andang...... Could this be the main event?!
Meng Boyan's expression was grim, and his eyes were indescribably gratified. With the Lord like this, how fortunate the Nan'an Army is!
