Don't look at the four rooms, all of them are so painful that they can't do it at this time, and they look like they dare to be angry and dare not speak out about the pitiful appearance of the abused little daughter-in-law. In fact, any one of them can be taken out and squeezed hundreds of taels of silver without much effort. Five hundred taels of silver is to make everyone in the fourth room hurt, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones at all.
And Li Junran is very confident that Sifang will definitely hand over the money to her obediently in the end. is not for the side, in order for Li Zhengguo and Li Zhengan to be able to take the examination in the coming year, this money can be obtained no matter how unwilling the four rooms are. Once Li Pinghai curls his braids, as his own son, he will have to keep filial piety for three years. What's more, if there is a rumor that in order to save money, he will not save his father when he dies, from Li Zhengguo and Li Zhengan, the two talents who are ready to take the exam, to Li Junsong's three grandchildren who are also ready to take the official career, don't think that the career will be smooth sailing in the future. If you don't do it, you will be deprived of your qualifications to participate in the imperial examination.
Oops, hey, it's really more interesting to be a wicked person bullying poor pig's feet than to watch a play directly.
"Liu girl, here are five hundred taels, you can take it!" In the midst of some crying and shouting, Li Zhengan gritted his teeth and handed a stack of silver tickets to Li Junran.
Li Junran raised his head and stared at Li Zheng'an for a while, then looked down at the stack of silver tickets, and decisively chose to turn his head and whisper to Li Zheng, who was sitting on the side and whispering to the fifth grandfather, and said: "Uncle Li Zheng, these silver tickets should be regarded as the five hundred taels of silver donated by the fourth room to the ancestral hall of the clan, you can give a little." β
Hey, is it really a fool to be a sister?
Li Junran didn't miss the joy on the face of Li Zhao, who was standing not far behind Li Zhengan, when he handed him the silver ticket. It's normal to feel distressed and resentful. This would be the case with any other person. Question: Where does this joy come from? Li Junran looked at Li Qian, who was more straightforward, without a trace, while smiling and probing. When Li Junran noticed that Li Qian heard her signal for Li Zhengan to hand over the silver tickets directly to Li Zheng and Li Zhengshu, a panicked expression immediately appeared on her face, and Li Junran became more and more sure that the stack of silver tickets that Li Zhengan gave him was most likely problematic. Either there is a shortage of catties or two, or there is a confusion of fake silver tickets inside.
The Apocalypse Dynasty's management of currency is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There are three types of common currencies: gold, silver and copper, and the common ones on the market are silver and copper. Silver is divided into two kinds: official silver and broken silver, official silver is mostly smelted into an ingot-shaped, and there is an official stamp on the buttocks, and private smelting is strictly prohibited, generally as a silver salary. The purity is relatively high. Unified specifications for silver ingots. It's all ten taels and one heavy. Of course, there are also one or two pocket-sized small ingots, which are often used as rewards for festivals in large households.
The fineness of broken silver is relatively much worse, most of them are two or three heavy pieces, and some are more than one or two pieces. If the common people want to make any silver bracelets, silver heads. and all these pieces of silver. Let Yinlou help melt it and make it into various jewelry.
As for copper coins. There are two types: large copper coins and small copper plates. The big copper coin is commonly known as the big character, which can be exchanged for ten small copper plates. One tael of silver is equal to one penny, a hundred big characters, and a thousand copper plates.
A silver ticket is a kind of bill issued by a money bank. In Li Junran's view, it has the same effect as modern passbooks and bank cards. The silver ticket can be used directly, or it can be exchanged for silver and copper plates at the branches of the bank. However, a certain percentage of the handling fee is charged for each exchange, and the ratio is generally one out of one hundred. One hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, and one hundred taels of silver can only be exchanged for ninety-nine taels of silver. The money stored in the bank, not to mention the interest, has to pay a certain percentage of the so-called storage fee every year.
For the common people, the silver ticket is undoubtedly a very lofty thing in the legend. But for those wealthy families, the appearance of silver tickets is undoubtedly more convenient. After all, the weight of those real money is real. It is precisely because the use of silver tickets is more convenient than real money and silver that the Apocalypse Dynasty also has the strictest monitoring of silver tickets.
In the Apocalypse Dynasty, there were only three money houses that had the right to issue silver tickets, Tianqi Qianzhuang, Dafeng Qianzhuang and Jinxiu Qianzhuang. Looking at the name, Tianqi Qian Zhuang should know that this is a state-owned money bank that is completely controlled by the imperial court, and has branches in various counties across the country. Dafeng Qianzhuang is the smallest, except for the establishment of a branch in the capital, there is only a branch in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is the main grain producing area of the Apocalypse Dynasty, because of its close relationship with several major grain merchants, although the strength of Dafeng Qianzhuang is not as good as the other two, it is still quite open in this part of Jiangnan. As for the splendid money house, it is more like the name of the embroidery house, in fact, the owner really relied on selling cloth back then. Although Splendid Money Village has appeared for the shortest time, its strength is not weak. Not to mention, just because Splendid Money Village also has exchange points in neighboring countries, it cannot be underestimated. It's a pity that the handling fee of Splendid is the most expensive of the three banks, 1.5 percent.
Although the paper used in the silver stamps issued by the three banks was specially made, it could not prevent some people from taking risks. The Apocalypse Dynasty will not be merciful to those who make fake silver tickets, and will also severely punish those who use (have) fake silver tickets.
Among the stacks of silver tickets that Li Zhengan took out, the largest denomination was one hundred taels, and there was only one denomination, and there was only one denomination of fifty taels. The rest is either twenty taels or ten taels. It took Li Zhengan a while to count them.
"Liu Er, girl, five hundred taels. Are you sure you want to donate such a large sum of money to the clan to repair the ancestral hall? β
"Look at what Uncle Li Zheng said, this silver was donated to the ancestral hall of the clan for four rooms, what does it have to do with Liu'er."
Li Junran became more and more sure that there was something wrong with this stack of silver tickets, because Li Qian's and Li Zhao's faces, who had changed their faces, took advantage of the gap between Li Zheng's and Li Zhengshu's counting of silver tickets, and the pair of concubines sneaked out, and soon walked in with a slightly sad face, begging to exchange the fragmented silver tickets in Li Zhengshu's hand. Of course, under the stalking of this pair of concubines, Li Zheng and Li Zhengshu were finally replaced. There is no denial here, Li Zhengshu has seen something, but this matter has nothing to do with Li Junran.
Having escaped the "catastrophe", she is busy giving Li Pinghai, the so-called fourth grandfather, a needle. Naturally, there were no outsiders in the house except for her and Li Pinghai who were lying on the bed, and no one dared to eavesdrop or peek even outside the house.
"Fourth grandfather, don't pretend. Liu'er knows that you have actually woken up a long time ago. Li Junran, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, paused for a moment to continue the needle application in his hand. He spoke slowly. Li Pinghai, who was bare most of his upper body in front of him, closed his eyes tightly, breathing steadily, and did not look like he had woken up at all.
Li Junran smiled, took out the longest and thickest gold needle from the cloth bag where the gold needles were stored, and then took a small ball of cotton from the small porcelain jar placed next to the cloth bag, wiped the gold needles very carefully, and accurately aimed at Li Pinghai's middle place and pierced it.
If a person faints, the effect of pinching the person is still very good. It's a pity that Li Junran still underestimated Li Pinghai's patience in the end, and he was able to grit his teeth and insist on not opening his eyes. Since Li Pinghai is so uncooperative. That's going to be a finger prick. It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart. Li Junran is still seriously considering that if these ten fingers are pricked, Li Pinghai is still unwilling to wake up, whether she should continue to prick her toes, or sprinkle some itchy powder into the golden needle or something. And then let Li Pinghai lose his soul?
Who would have thought. Li Junran punctured Li Pinghai's right thumb and index finger. Li Pinghai made Li Junran open his eyes in disappointment. A pair of cloudy eyes glared at Li Junran viciously. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get up at this time, he wouldn't be able to speak, so he was afraid that he wouldn't beat Li Junran violently. Then it's not Li Pinghai.
"Fourth grandfather, do you really want to beat Liu'er?" Li Junran was condescending, looking coldly at Li Pinghai who was glaring at him, with a faint smile on his face, "Or are you regretting why you didn't successfully sell Liu Er to that pickled place back then?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered from these flesh and skin today. β
Li Pinghai was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected, his thoughts made the stinky girl in front of him who looked very similar to Li Feng's give full insight today. Wrong! The stinky girl in front of her is not the little girl, even if the little girl is bullied by the fifth girl, in addition to hiding behind the little six and crying, she still cries.
"I'm really not Li Qiliu." Li Junran unhurriedly recovered the golden needles on Li Pinghai's body, and continued to say slowly, "That timid and cowardly but kind and filial little Qiliu is dead, and he was killed by you, the inhuman grandfather. That Li Feng's fourth grandmother...... It's also the fourth grandfather, you killed it. β
Li Pinghai's vision became a little blurry, and he vaguely seemed to see Li Fengshi again, the gentle, kind but very naΓ―ve Li Feng. Li Pinghai opened his mouth and wanted to ask Li Junran how she knew all this. It's a pity that no matter how hard Li Pinghai tries, he can only make a "ahhhh
It's a stinky girl, it must have been done by this stinky girl standing in front of him.
"Fourth grandfather, you can't speak, you can't raise your hand, it's not done by Liu'er. It's retribution, how did you poison the tonic that the fourth grandmother drank every day, so how do you taste the bitter fruit of the fourth grandfather today. However, Fourth Grandpa, you can rest assured, Liu'er, I will never let Fourth Grandpa die like this, because Liu'er doesn't want Fourth Grandpa to disturb Fourth Grandma's clean day so soon. What's more, the fourth grandfather, the reason why you survived before didn't go to see the fourth grandmother, but the fourth grandfather, your good concubine, and the fourth grandfather, the three sons born to you and the concubine pooled five hundred taels of silver, and begged Liu Er to pull the fourth grandfather back from the Yama Palace. Liu Er heard from her father that when the spring begins next year, Uncle Zhengtai and Uncle Xiao An plan to go to the county to take the exam, and even Cousin Junsong and Cousin Junbai plan to try the water to take the Xiucai exam. Fourth grandfather, you said that if you die, do they have to come back to keep filial piety? If something happens in the past three years of filial piety, will you never be able to pass the imperial examination? After all, the son and grandson born to the concubine of the former concubine who murdered the former concubine, and still wanted to participate in the imperial examination as an official, isn't it a big joke. β
"Okay, Fourth Grandpa, Liu'er has finished what needs to be said." Li Junran smiled and recovered all the golden needles inserted in Li Pinghai's body, and then carefully cleaned up the scars on Li Pinghai's middle and right thumb and index finger, "Fourth grandfather, you should take good care of your body, only by living well can you open your eyes well, and look at the fourth grandfather, how everything you got after killing the fourth grandmother, how it was lost little by little from the hands of the fourth grandfather, your concubine and the three sons." β
Li Junran looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he turned around and walked out of the house. As soon as he went out, the people in the four rooms who were waiting in the main hall immediately gathered around, anxious to know the result.
"After administering the needle, the fourth grandfather has woken up. It's just that...... This time, the fourth grandfather's condition is menacing, and he needs to be carefully recuperated for a long time if he wants to recover. β
"Is that true?" Li Zhengtai couldn't believe the yellow-haired little girl in front of him up to his chest, not to mention that the little girl in front of him was not a good thing, she had made a big fuss about them before, ruined their reputation, and now she took away a full five hundred taels of silver from them.
"If Uncle Zhengtai doesn't believe it, he can invite Uncle Li here, and if it is not good, he can go to the town and invite the doctor of Renhetang or Baohetang, and show it to the fourth grandfather, if you know that Liu Er is lying." Li Junran is not afraid at all, even if her cheap master Old Man Xu comes, the result will be the same. If you don't have that confidence, don't mess up.
"Humph! You don't need to say much about this, you stinky girl. Wait! Li Zhengtai didn't care about talking to Li Junran anymore, so he raised his feet and walked towards the room where Li Pinghai was resting. Although he roughly knows what is added to the noodles and vermicelli processed in his small workshop, his old son Li Pinghai has never told him how much to add. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zhengtai can only ask whatever he says.
Originally, he was his father's favorite son, who would have thought that the incident more than two months ago made his eldest brother Mu Ne become the stepson who passed on to the eldest mother in front of him. According to the regulations of the Apocalypse Dynasty, once the father dies, the eldest brother's lineage can inherit most of the property of the four houses. How can this be? Li Zhengtai said that he didn't want to see his big brother take his share, even if it was his own eldest brother!
Li Junran glanced at the back of Li Zhengtai who left in a hurry, and then walked slowly towards his own bun father who was waiting for her to go home with him in the yard.
"Liu'er, your fourth grandfather ......"
"Dad, don't worry. The fourth grandfather is fine, and Liu Er can guarantee that as long as Liu Er lives for one day, the fourth grandfather will definitely live a long life. "If you just die, wouldn't it be too cheap for that old horseman?
"That's good, that's good." Li Zhengming exhaled a long breath with a comfortable smile on his face. For her own bun father, whether her fourth grandfather will regret abandoning a foolish son like this, Li Junran doesn't know. But one thing she was sure of was that her fourth grandfather would definitely hate her to death, and once the old man was relieved, she would be the first to clean up the old horseman. So...... She had to pay attention to the subsequent development of this matter. Otherwise, the horse will not be fun. (To be continued......)
