"Spare your life, spare your life, a good man spare your life."

The housekeeper who was originally pretending to be dizzy immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"It's very capable, I've been pretending for so long, tell me who you are?"

"The steward of the small Wenju family was ordered to send goods to Naturalization City."

"Housekeeper, housekeeper is worthless, cut it."

"Don't don't, I know where my master's vault is, my master has a stockade, and that stockade is full of gold and silver treasures."

"Yo, big fish, Xiao Liuzi grabbed him."

"Come on."

Xiao Liuzi skillfully tied up the housekeeper.

"There's still a living one, kill it or not?"

The one-eyed dragon pointed to a ditch and shouted from afar.

When they walked over, they saw a guard holding a box, which happened to be stuck in a ditch.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, everyone laughed, and the one-eyed dragon vigorously lifted the box out of the guard's hand.

Then he took out an axe and slashed the lock on it.

The moment the box was opened, everyone breathed, and the bright golden light stimulated everyone's eyes.

"Hahaha... Lao Tzu made a fortune. The one-eyed dragon excitedly grabbed two gold ingots and put them in his arms.

Everyone watched this scene and breathed heavily.

"Put it down."

The King of Chaos stepped on the box and closed the lid.

"What do you mean?"

The one-eyed dragon paused as he carried the ingots in his arms, and looked at the Chaotian King vigilantly.

"Take it out."

The King of Chaos slung the bird on his shoulders and hooked his fingers.

"Don't deceive people too much."

The one-eyed dragon tightened his clothes, unwilling to hand them over.

The King of Chaos hooked his fingers again, but did not speak.

"Are my one-eyed brothers here?"

The one-eyed dragon roared in annoyance.

"Yes."

In the crowd, twelve people stood beside him.

The one-eyed dragon was a little more relieved, raised his head and snorted.

The King of Chaos didn't speak, but waved his hand, and the rest of the people instantly surrounded him.

"One-eyed dragon, don't force me to turn my face."

The one-eyed dragon and the people around him began to wander as they watched the people who gradually gathered around them, and they were afraid.

The one-eyed dragon looked at the Chaotian King, who was clearly more numerous than the others, and he gave in.

He took out the gold ingots in his arms and placed them at the feet of the King of Chaotian.

"That's right."

The King of Chaos patted the one-eyed dragon in the face and took the gold ingots back to the box.

Then he crouched down and looked at the guards in the ditch, and couldn't help but smile.

"What's the matter? Want to live or die? ”

"Live."

"Hey... You're so spineless, what's the use of talking about you. ”

"I can make medicines, especially sweat pills."

"Okay, get him out, tie him up, the brothers pack up, and go back to the village."

"Yo~"

Everyone responded in unison, and then went about their jobs.

The King of Heaven held the box of gold on his horse, led the horse to the top of the cliff where there was no one, and motioned for Wang Zezhi to come over.

"The one-eyed dragon used to be a bandit here, and my brothers and I came here to fight him, and several of our brothers died."

The King of Chaotian fell into memories and continued: "He was even more miserable, more than half of the dead and wounded, and then he was taken in by me, I occupied his village, he has always refused to obey me, but I am short of manpower." ”

"King of Chaos, if we rob this business, we will have money, and if you have money, you can recruit troops and horses, and now there are homeless people everywhere, so you can recruit some people to join us."

The King of Chaotian listened to Wang Zezhi's words, his eyes lit up, patted him on the shoulder, and turned over on his horse.

"Okay."

Wang Zezhi followed closely behind, riding the little donkey of Xiao Liuzi.

After returning to the stockade, he began to count the goods, and Wang Zezhi's eyes began to light up when he saw these goods.

Salt, tea, graphite (coal), armor, crossbows, iron spears, three-eyed guns, gunpowder, grain, etc.

That's all good stuff, especially the Three-Eyed Gun and gunpowder.

Wang Zezhi looked at these goods, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

I had only heard that the Jin merchants funded the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, but I was still surprised when I really encountered them, but I didn't expect them to even get this kind of forbidden thing in the army.

However, he thought about it carefully and it was not right, Wenju people are not pure Jin merchants, to be precise, they are official gentry, and official gentry cannot represent all Jin merchants.

It should be the gentry who is erosive.

This is still just a small place in Shouyang, if it is Pingyang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, and Datong Mansion, those big officials and gentry are also involved, then it should not be underestimated.

After the goods were counted, the King of Chaos took all the three-eyed guns and gunpowder.

However, he kept five sets of armor and six fine iron spears, all of which were given to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi got the weapon armor and tried it, because he was too thin and small, the armor couldn't be worn, it was too big.

As soon as he thought about it, he kept a fine iron spear, and gave the rest to Xiong Jiachang, so that he could watch it.

Beside the one-eyed dragon's bonfire in the earth cave, the one-eyed dragon watched with a gloomy face as the King of Heaven walked into the depths of the earth cave without saying a word.

In the evening, the King of Chaotian gave Xiao Liuzi a twenty taels of gold ingots and asked him to go to Yuci County to exchange for silver, and then buy wine and come back to celebrate.

As for why it was exchanged for silver, the most important thing is that gold is rarely used in private transactions, and few silver ingots are used, and more copper coins and one or two taels of loose silver are used.

Wang Zezhi remembered that a few years ago, one tael of silver could buy one stone of rice in Shaanxi, until the famine became more and more serious, and it cost one hundred taels of silver to buy one stone of rice.

It's not that the silver is worthless, but that the merchants and gentry in Shaanxi hoarded and sat on the ground to raise prices, causing grain to become more and more expensive.

This also led to their family, even if they sold their fields and houses, they couldn't eat a full meal, and finally had to start fleeing the famine.

According to the normal price of grain, the cost of a household is less than two taels a month, and if the price of grain does not rise unscrupulously, the common people can hold on for a few more years, but only for a few more years.

Thinking of this, Wang Zezhi was sad for a while, if the food was cheaper, his parents would not have come out to escape the famine and die.

"Here comes the wine~"

Xiao Liuzi pulled a carriage of wine and shouted.

Everyone came to carry wine, and for this group of grassy people, wine is a rare good thing.

"Little Liuzi, how much silver can a gold ingot be exchanged for?" Wang Zezhi leaned in front of Xiao Liuzi and asked curiously.

Ordinary people use one or two taels of loose silver at most, and they have never even seen silver ingots, let alone gold ingots, so Wang Zezhi is also very curious, how much silver can this gold ingot be exchanged for.

Xiao Liuzi rolled his eyes, carried a jar of wine and handed it to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi happily took it.

"Twenty taels of gold ingots got one hundred and sixty taels of silver, and forty taels for wine, and one hundred and twenty taels."

Wang Zezhi silently calculated.

One tael of silver is equal to ten denarii, and one penny is equal to one hundred.

Those taels of gold are equal to sixteen taels of silver, no, there should be a handling fee.

It's like a tael of silver can only be exchanged for more than 800 copper coins at most, and it can't be exchanged for 1,000 wen at all.

That's a lot of money.

According to the current price of Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, two taels and one stone, one stone is about 1890 city catties, then one gold ingot can buy 80 stones, according to 180 city catties, that is, 14,400 city catties, 7,200 kilograms.

It's no wonder that the one-eyed dragon will be red at that box of gold, and now, according to seven yuan for a kilogram of rice grain, that gold ingot is worth forty or fifty thousand, and a box can have hundreds of thousands of yuan.
