Chapter 4: The First Arrival (2)
On the table of the Eight Immortals in the outer room was a plate of green vegetables, a pot of soup, a plate of steamed buns, and an empty plate. There were three people seated around the table. Zheng Xing was sitting precariously, looking at Zheng Yu expressionlessly. Zheng Yu held a steamed bun in his left hand, grabbed a whole elbow in his right hand, and struggled with all his eyes. Zheng Tai stared blankly at the empty plate that was originally elbowed, and beat his head.
The wolf spat out the tiger's throat, the wind swept the clouds, and after the last mouthful of soup slipped into his mouth, Zheng Yu gave a long full burp. At this time, Zheng Xing said: "Fourth, the third brother misunderstood you just now, and the words were a bit heavy, the third brother is here to make a compensity to you" said and got up and hugged his fists.
Zheng Yu: "Oh, my own brother, what do you say........ Forehead...... It doesn't matter! The third brother is too worried, you and my brothers don't have to be polite" Seeing that their expressions were wrong, Zheng Yu quickly changed his words.
Zheng Tai: "Well, the fourth brother is right"
Zheng Xing raised his head and smiled, withdrew his hand and sat down, and said, "This is very good, the third brother is now in good health." The funeral of the master, the compensation for the caravan caravan, and the compensation for the death of the brothers and sisters, these things must be dealt with as soon as possible. No one can call the shots when you are unconscious, and now we can't delay any longer, we have to regroup and avenge the master and brothers after dealing with it as soon as possible! ”
Zheng Tai: "Well, the third brother is right"
Zheng Yu sighed and said, "Yes, it's time to live a good life after dealing with these things...... I studied how to recruit troops and avenge my father and brothers! "In the future, you have to bring a door in your mouth, Zheng Yu thought hatefully.
Zheng Tai: "Well, the fourth brother is right"
Zheng Xing: "Okay, I'll tell you about the situation at home first, the fourth, you have a number in your heart." Xiaoliu, you go to the account room to get our account book, and ask Mr. (Mr. Bookkeeper) to come over too."
Zheng Tai: "Well, what the third brother said..... Oh, just go" Zheng Tai got up and was about to leave when Zheng Yu stopped him.
Zheng Yu: "Little Liu, Mencius said, the third brother is handsome, guess what Confucius said", Zheng Tai shook his head blankly. Zheng Yu continued: "Confucius said: Mencius is right!! Okay, go get the ledger."
Zheng Tai turned around and walked away with a confused face.......
Moments later, Jung Tae came back alone. Zheng Yu and Zheng Xing asked him at the same time: "What about the account book?" ”
Jung Tae replied, "Sir, take it."
Then they asked, "What about the sir?" ”
Jung Tae replied: "Mr. is behind"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a scholar in his forties, carrying two baskets full of account books, panting over. When Zheng Yu was about to get up to take the burden and reprimand Zheng Tai for not knowing how to respect the old and love the young, he found that Zheng Xing was indifferent, and his expression was a little disgusted that people were walking slowly!! No way!! This evil feudal society!! I like it!! Hey! No, isn't the status of literati quite high now? Why did they treat a literati like this? Aren't you afraid of being hit by the board? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty of this time and space was heavy on military force and light on literature??
The scholar finally walked up to the three of them, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and only after he had taken a little breath did he speak, "Young master, third son, sixth son, this is all the account books since the opening of the martial arts hall, please take a look." Zheng Xing hummed lightly and said to Zheng Yu, "Fourth, take a look, the third brother doesn't know much about accounts." Zheng Yu nodded when he heard this, walked to the basket with his teeth, pinched a book with the index finger and thumb of his right hand with a look of disgust, shook it off casually, and tilted his head to look at it. I'll go!! Journal!! A typical ledger, when will this thing be read, even if it is finished, it may not be able to understand. He threw the account book back and said to the scholar, "Sir, I won't read the account book, just tell me, how much money is still at home, how much is the goods that need to be compensated, how much is the death pension, is there any money owed to our family outside, and if so, how much is owed, it's okay."
The scholar thought for a moment, then picked out a thicker account book from the basket and began to answer.
"Back to the young master, there are now a total of 9,600 taels of silver and 600 taels of money in the museum....... 6 quintals of wheat and 11 quintals of corn...... The compensation for the goods is 7,500 taels..... Pension...... The total surplus was 700 taels of silver, 300 taels of money, and all the surplus of miscellaneous items such as grain. ”
What the!!! Only seven hundred taels? Am I so poor!! In my memory, my predecessor invited fox friends to eat a meal, and it cost more than a dozen taels!! Where else does this make Lao Tzu find a happy life? In the eyes of children?? Zheng Yu slandered. The copper coin was directly ignored by Zheng Yu, a soul from the afterlife, and the ancient currency in his subconscious was only gold and silver. In fact, Zheng Yu just watched too many TV series in later generations and was fooled. Gold and silver in this era were not currency and were only used for rewards or large transactions. The main currency in private circulation is copper coins. A thousand copper coins is consistent, always equal to one tael of silver, and according to the price of the price, one tael of silver is equivalent to almost a thousand yuan now. Just take a whole number of thousands. Three hundred taels is three hundred taels, plus seven hundred taels is one thousand taels, and it is one million when converted into soft sister coins!!
After hearing this, Zheng Xing said, "Fourth, don't mind, you can make more money when the money is gone." Now there are not many people in the museum, so I don't have much to spend, and I can save some money for two years. I think I'll pay two hundred taels for the master and senior brother as soon as possible."
Yes?? Did you hear that right?? That's enough for two years??? Is 700 taels so resistant to flowers!! When Zheng Yu learned from his husband that two taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to spend a year, and he could often have some meat, Zheng Yu jumped in his heart and greeted the women of the bad screenwriter's family. Million! In addition to the 200,000 yuan for the funeral flowers, Lao Tzu still has 800,000 start-up capital!! The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly!! With the profound knowledge of later generations as the backing, it becomes 8 million, 80 million is not yet handy!! Ahem, ahem!! Image, pay attention to the image.
Zheng Xing saw that Zheng Yu's expression was a little excited, thinking that it was caused by the sadness of his deceased father, so he stepped forward and comforted, "Fourth, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, don't be too sad, cheer up, you and my brothers are of the same heart, their strength is broken, and the day of revenge will not come too late."
Zheng Tai: "Well, the third brother is right! ”
Zheng Yu pretended to be sad and said: "Third brother is relieved, I'm fine." The matter of compensation is the third brother and the sixth brother. It's not early today, so rest early. Tomorrow morning, we will buy things for the funeral of my father and brothers. My body was suddenly a little sleepy, I left first, the third brother said goodbye, the sixth brother said goodbye, and the gentleman said goodbye" The scholar was flattered..
"Farewell" "Farewell"
Zheng Yu turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, and said in his heart, "Third brother, you are right, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I am a gentleman and his father, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for a hundred years."
