Chapter 583: Silver for Copper
"General Zhang, don't stare at Ben Hou like this, the so-called blessings and misfortunes disturb yourself, if you didn't recruit so many guests, you wouldn't have killed the whole family, and you almost killed a pair of my children."
If another person is looked at by him like this, his heart would have been furious, but Cai Cong said it without being salty, and even blamed Zhang Liang for affecting himself.
"The old man knows that he is greedy for vanity, and he imitates the ancients to recruit what kind of doormen, exhausting the family and the young, and also affecting your two children, if you are not unlucky, the old man will hand over the title deed of the Chang'an house to you, which is a little compensation! Now that the family is ruined, the old man has seen through the red dust, and he will tell His Majesty to return to his hometown soon, and it is useless to keep this house in Chang'an. ”
Zhang Liang said boringly, Cai Cong shook his head expressionlessly, even if he was embarrassed to accept this house, Sister Cai couldn't explain it, Sister Cai was such a superstitious person, a house that had died so many people, how could she let Cai Cong take over?
"The old man still has some savings, and there is also some income every year in Lingnan, and the Hou of Chang'an can take it away......
"What does General Zhang want Ben Hou to take in exchange? I'm a little scared of you, most people have a period of depression and silence before they lose their minds, and you're very similar to this stage now. ”
Cai Cong said with a sigh, Zhang Liang was silent and did not speak, the wind on the street was cold, and the officials who had not left looked at the two of them from a distance, only thinking that the two would fight in the next second.
"As long as you hand over all the people you have caught to the old man, I will give you whatever you want, the old man has nothing to ask for in this life, as long as he can cut these animals with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart."
Zhang Liang looked at Cai Cong with pleading eyes, but his whole face was so hideous that it was distorted.
"I can give it to you, but if you can't control the hatred, then what if these people let you do it yourself? Don't say anything to see through the red dust, when the time comes, you will become a madman who is crazy about killing, such a person is not uncommon on the battlefield, right? ”
"So what? As long as you can pay tribute to the spirits of your wife and children in the sky, what if the old man is crazy about killing? Do you say yes or no? ”
Zhang Liang looked at Cai Cong angrily, at this moment, Cai Cong said these words in his eyes, it was a cat crying mouse.
"I'll send people to your house when I go back, so you can do it yourself!" After Cai Cong finished speaking, he left, Zhang Liang looked at the people who walked away and suddenly felt empty in his heart, where should he go in the future?
"Master Hou, do you really want to give everyone to Zhang Guogong? Some people just really retire from the rivers and lakes, like the two Murong shopkeepers, who don't care about anything, but they are implicated because of family reasons. ”
Wei Guo followed Cai Cong and asked, although he was becoming more and more sophisticated, he was still a bad person in his bones, and he couldn't see anyone innocently implicated.
"Go back and let the sixth son hand over those who are found to be involved in the case to Zhang Liang, and the rest will continue to be detained. How can you be sure that they are not involved? Can't it be an abandoned car? ”
Cai Cong questioned again and again, his tone was full of hatred that iron does not become steel, if people say a few words, you will believe it completely, and the god-man family will not lie? Wei Guo saw that Cai Cong's tone was not good, and he immediately didn't dare to say anything more, but he didn't think so in his heart, how could those two people who love to laugh so much be bad people?
Cai Cong didn't care what he thought, it was enough for him to take care of the trivial things at home. The two of them wandering around on the street were also boring enough, and during Li Yuan's funeral, entertainment and frolicking were strictly prohibited, let alone a big feast, and the market in Chang'an was much depressed all of a sudden.
"Master Hou, what are we doing on this street? If you want to buy these things, just let them send them home, do you need to come out and buy them yourself? ”
Cai Cong was a little leisurely with his two hands on his back, Wei Guo was hanging a bag on his body, holding a paper bag in his hand, and struggled to come out and asked.
"Don't be noisy, since I was a child, I haven't been on the street since I was a child and Uncle Gang came out to sell chickens and bought the Analects, so what can I do if I go shopping?"
"Then why don't you call Liuzi or bring the guards, they have more strength than me, not to mention that it's no problem to pull a cart back to carry some things."
"I forgot. Eh~ Old man, these are two dairy sheep, right? ”
Cai Cong muttered, and happened to see someone selling two heads to the goat, so he immediately leaned over and asked.
"Xiao Langjun has good eyesight, this is a ewe that has just laid a cub, what is the lamb bought to do, what roast lamb, this big sheep people don't want, the old man can only lead to this street to sell, see if anyone sells it."
"Coincidentally, the children in the family have just never drunk goat's milk, how much do these two sheep cost, if it is suitable, I will buy them back."
Cai Cong said with a smile, Wei Guo's face suddenly became ugly, what is this? Don't say that the dignified little marquis is ashamed to drink this goat's milk, just say that if he buys a sheep, he can't tie his feet and take it back, right?
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, one head is fifteen taels, and two ends are twenty-nine taels!"
The old man said with a smile, most people say to buy one, this little Langjun buys two at once, he doesn't have to blow cold wind on this street, and the price of one or two is also worth it.
"The price is real, then buy both ends, you weigh the money." Cai Cong said and threw out a piece of silver, the old man was confused, who didn't use copper coins to buy things?
"Xiao Langjun! This old man didn't bring a scale, so let's go to the front store and borrow it. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Cai Cong nodded, and he found that the old man also had a cloth bag on his body, which seemed to be used as money to package copper coins.
"Old man, did you bring such a big bag to carry the money back when you were going to sell the sheep?"
"Not really! This year, there are really not many people like Xiao Langjun who spend silver, the old man will tell you the truth, you use this silver to buy things, the old man earns, this two silver can be exchanged for a thousand and five copper coins, someone on the street is collecting, the old man will take the silver for a while, and go there to exchange it with others. ”
The old man said with a smile, he was not afraid that Cai Cong would worry about five cents with him, how could someone who could take the silver out to go shopping care about this money?
"So strange? Silver is as much money as copper coins, so why is it worth giving five copper coins more? Can you go and see the old man later? ”
Cai Cong said with a smile, he had long heard that the large amount of gold and silver flowing from Fusang had hardly passed through the world, but he didn't expect that not only would it not circulate, but it would also be recycled in large quantities.
"Xiao Langjun, you still have little experience, this kind of thing has been happening for a long time, and those who are officials are not allowed to get a sum of gold, silver and jewelry to accompany the funeral after death! Isn't that enough? It can only be collected in the market. ”
The old man said with a smile, it was rare to meet such an approachable rich kid, and he was happy to say a few more words.
