Chapter 32: Wealth
Yang Yun returned to the small courtyard of the workshop with large boxes and small boxes of things.
Wang Ji had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and when he saw Yang Yun coming back, he stepped forward and asked excitedly: "But there is a letter from Yizhou, let you follow the army?" ”
Yang Yun frowned: "Why do you want to join the army?" ”
Only then did Wang Ji realize that he might have leaked some great secret, so he immediately snorted and said, "Guess, just guess...... Since the marshal knows that you have such a great ability, how can you not pay more attention? ”
Yang Yun looked at Wang Ji and asked, "What else do you know?" ”
Wang Ji's eyes flickered, he looked left and right, and said, "I know a lot, in fact...... It's nothing more than that Gongsun Jian may recommend you to Jieshuai after he goes back...... The festival marshal has always attached great importance to capable people, and will never sit idly by and watch the great sages be left behind...... That's all I know. ”
Yang Yun said: "The meaning of Wang Jiedu's envoy is to let me personally escort a batch of charms to Yizhou, saying that the previous batch was damp. ”
Wang Ji's face was full of disappointment: "This is the end?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Yun nodded.
Wang Ji sighed: "Maybe the marshal didn't see your ability with his own eyes, and he still has doubts, but if the master arrives in Yizhou and shows superb immortal methods in front of the marshal, the marshal will definitely be impressed, and it will be difficult to reuse it when the time comes...... Oh yes, when will the master leave for Yizhou? ”
Yang Yun said: "Don't set off for the time being, I still have to think about this matter again, refer to the proverbs given by the master, make the most reasonable choice, and I won't bother you." I'm now going into the house to retreat and practice, and I'm looking at the Heavenly Machine. ”
Wang Ji heard that Yang Yun had the intention of issuing an eviction order, and said cheekily: "You are busy with yours, I am here to observe, and I will not disturb your Qing Xiu." ”
……
……
The chest, which contained gold bars, silver ingots, and silk and satin, was carried into the main house where Yang Yun lived.
An Lun was inside, sitting in front of the floor seat near the window, writing on the desk...... Yang Yun had just taught her a thousand-character text, and she was copying it carefully.
Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Yang Yun, showing a sweet smile, and then her eyes fell on a few large boxes, very curious, she quickly got up, walked closer to take a closer look, and when she opened it and saw the things inside, she couldn't help but have a golden light.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "The girl who used to open the space door didn't even know what money was, but An Lun was very familiar with gold, silver and jewelry, which was related to her background and the fact that she had seen the world in the market before. ”
Then he thought about it again: "In this way, the girl who opened the space door is likely to live in a very closed place, and she can find a way to do this." ”
Yang Yun counted the gifts sent by the Jiedu Embassy in detail, and in the box headed by him, there were a total of twenty gold bars, each of which weighed about five taels.
Fifty ingots of silver were laid at the bottom, and each ingot, five taels, and these two precious metals were the most valuable part of the gift.
In addition, there are twenty horses of silk and satin, all of which are fine silk, which can be used directly to buy rice and salt, which is a currency that goes hand in hand with copper coins.
"That's a lot."
Without Yang Yun's guidance, An Lun went over and checked the contents of the box one by one.
Yang Yun smiled and asked, "Do you like it?" ”
An Lun looked at Yang Yun and nodded firmly, his eyes shining with symbols full of money.
Yang Yun said: "It belongs to me but not to you, but I can temporarily hand it over to you for safekeeping." ”
"Me!?"
An Lun's eyes widened, and a look of panic appeared on his face, "I don't dare to have so much money!" ”
Yang Yun asked, "Why don't you dare?" ”
An Lun said: "I...... I'm afraid I'll lose it...... Can't afford it. They're worth a lot more than I do. ”
Although the main currency of the Tang Dynasty was Kaiyuan Tongbao, the value of gold and silver was relatively stable, one tael of silver was worth almost a thousand yuan, and one tael of gold was about equal to six taels of silver, that is, six thousand yuan. The gold and silver in this chest were worth almost a million dollars.
During the Kaiyuan period, the price of rice in Chang'an and Luoyang was about 123 wen and 1 bucket, but in remote areas like Shifang, the price of rice was only 34 wen and 1 bucket, and a bucket of rice in the Tang Dynasty was 12 catties, and it was completely conceivable how amazing a fortune it was.
Of course, you can't buy anything from the market at all.
In particular, silver was used as a collection in this era, used for gifts, and only when trading with foreign merchants, silver would be used to pay for goods, which involved vicious cases of robbing foreign merchants. Zhang, a famous minister who had just passed away last year, said that when he presided over the side affairs, he strictly ordered that he found that there were people in the market who used silver, so he didn't care what the reason was.
These twenty pieces of silk are also not a small wealth, and the Tang Dynasty Law clearly stipulates that a single transaction of more than ten times must be paid for in silk. The purchasing power of one horse of silk silk is equivalent to 500 yuan, and these 20 horses are 10,000 yuan, which can be taken out at any time to spend.
Yang Yun understands that such a large amount of money is enough to buy many girls, even if it is the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but due to wars and natural disasters, it is still very common to sell children and daughters.
Yang Yun smiled and said: "If you do a good job, you can control some of it, and then just help me do things." ”
Yang Yun's words stimulated An Lun's potential, she happily put away the gift list that Yang Yun gave her, and then asked to move the box alone, and when she found that she couldn't move it, she looked at Yang Yun with a look of help.
Yang Yun smiled: "I will have people carry the most valuable two boxes to your house, so that you can also take care of them when you sleep." ”
"Uh-huh."
An Lun was happy, as if these treasures had become her own, full of enthusiasm.
……
……
The fact that Yang Yun was going to Yizhou was initially only verbally conveyed by the Su County Order, but only two days later, there was an official document coming down.
The official document asked Su County Ling to send someone to escort a new batch of 600 catties of "charms" to Yizhou, and asked Yang Yun to go with him.
"Little real person, there is really no other way...... The official will send the county lieutenant Hu to accompany you to Yizhou. Su Xianling said apologetically.
Su County Ling knew very well that Yang Yun's destination was Luoyang, not Yizhou.
Yang Yun said: "I went, do I still need to come back?" ”
Su Xian Ling shook his head and said, "This official doesn't know very well...... But anyway, this is the hometown of real people, and you can come back whenever you want, right? ”
Hu County Lieutenant laughed beside him: "You can go back or not, your things will be sent to Yizhou, with the reward you get this time, you can buy a property in Yizhou, and then you will return to a small place like Shifang, what will you do?" ”
Yang Yun was a little worried in his heart: "It seems that I have revealed my ability, and the Jiedu envoy wants to keep me, which is contrary to my goal of going to Luoyang to find Yang Yuhuan...... If I can't find Yang Yuhuan as soon as possible, it will be difficult to gain the trust of this sister again, and I have to get to know her in Weimo and provide her with enough help to leave an indelible impression in her mind. ”
Yang Yun said: "It's okay to go, but I have to wait for five days before leaving, and I have to seconded two hundred people with Su County Ling to help me investigate where there are trenches everywhere and help me find someone...... A pair of sisters, to be exact. ”
Su Xian Ling heard it in a fog and asked, "Sister? But do real people need someone to be there? You don't have to look for it anywhere with a trench, do you? ”
Yang Yun didn't explain, and said: "It's a matter of heaven, you must find it in the direction I said, and it has to be these two sisters." ”
……
……
Yang Yun saw that he was going to Yizhou, so he had to speed up the pace of finding someone.
He thought to himself: "If you leave Shifang, it will be very difficult to find that girl again, and you will definitely have to come back frequently in the future...... In that case, it is better to find the person before leaving. ”
As soon as he came out of the county office, he saw someone come over with a ghostly head, and when he saw it clearly, he found that it was his third brother-in-law, Pei Lianqing.
"Real person, this person said that it was your family, and they have been waiting here for a long time, and they can't get away." Lin Geng came over to explain to Yang Yun.
Yang Yun nodded, first retreated from Lin Geng, and then said to Pei Lianqing: "Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Pei Lianqing said with a flattering smile on his face, "Shiro...... Oh no, you should be called an immortal...... It's been so many days, why haven't you thought about going home for a walk? ”
"Which home?" Yang Yun asked.
Pei Lianqing said: "Of course we are our common family...... Do you have a second home now? Your sister misses you very much, always nagging for you, and you also know that your sister is a person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and her words are not good, but they are all for your good...... It's good for us to get together more as a family. ”
Yang Yun said: "Brother-in-law, please forgive me, I will go to Yizhou in a few days, there are still many official things to do before this, and I don't have time to visit you and my sister." ”
"Don't tight, don't tight!"
Pei Lianqing said with a smile, "It's okay to come and see you, I'll bring your sister when I go back...... Ha, you're going to Yizhou? It's about getting ahead...... I've always said that Shiro, you are good-looking, and you are destined to have a great future in the future, do you see if this is not what I said? The family doesn't talk to the two families, but before leaving, you must say a word to the county magistrate, so that the county government can take care of our family's business. ”
