Five thousand taels of silver is indeed not much, but it depends on whom.

For the powerful in the DPRK and China, it is the money for a meal, but for a family like Yu Youwei, it is a lot of money.

The account is calculated in this way, the currency of the Tang Dynasty in the vast majority of cases is used "Kaiyuan Tongbao", the shape still follows the Qin square hole round money, stipulating that every ten Wen weighs one tael, and five thousand taels is 50,000 Wen. The annual living expenses of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty were about a few thousand wen, even if Yu Youwei's family was in a good situation, if calculated according to five thousand wen, five thousand taels would also be their family's living expenses for ten years.

Ten years of living expenses, is it less?

When Wen Tingyun, Yu Youwei and others heard this number, they couldn't help but grow their mouths.

"So much?" Wen Tingyun said in surprise.

"Five thousand taels is more! Originally, they wanted tens of thousands of taels, but I want to say that they have only dropped to 5,000 taels, which is too much, so let Li Yi continue to stay in prison! Zhang Wei said a little angrily.

"Virtuous brother! The expenses of my life for a year are less than five hundred taels, and I have to take out five thousand taels to ransom people at once, how will I let Youwei live in the future? Wen Tingyun raised his voice and said.

Five thousand taels turned out to be so much? Ten years of expenses for ordinary people.

And it's still a good person's expenses, like Wen Tingyun, who has to drink a little wine at every turn, eat some barbecue or something, the annual expenditure is only more than 500 taels, if you eat small rice pumpkin porridge every day and eat bran vegetables, it will save more money.

It turns out that TV and movies are all deceitful, and they open their mouths for tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, and they don't pay for their lives if they talk big!

If Zhang Wei had known that 5,000 taels of silver was so much, he should have told General Youwei about giving Yu Youwei less, even if it was 1,000 taels less.

But if you say it, you can take it back.

"Teacher, don't blame Zhang Gongzi, it's already very good to have such a result, can you expect people to release people without asking us for money? I'll raise the money. Then Yu Youwei asked Zhang Wei: "If there is no family to answer, can the right Xiaowei be put in?" ”

"I also told them about this matter, after we pay to redeem Li Yi, the right guards will directly send him back to his house and hand him over to his family directly." Zhang Wei said to Yu Youwei.

"Oh——, that's fine!" Then Yu Youwei said to Zhang Wei and Wen Tingyun: "Since this is the case, I will go to raise money, and we will go to Youxiaowei to redeem people early tomorrow morning." ”

When she said this, Yu Youwei didn't look like a teenager at all, but as calm as a battle-hardened veteran.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei took Wen Tingyun and Yu Youwei to Youxiaowei.

After coming to the camp, Zhang Wei said to Yu Youwei and Wen Tingyun: "I don't know Li Yi well, so I won't go in, and after you go in, I will tell the right Xiaowei soldiers that Li Yi's matter has been told to their general, and it shouldn't be a problem to pay for ransom." ”

Of course, Wen Tingyun knew the relationship between the two, so he said to Zhang Wei: "It's okay, if there is anything, we will come out and tell you again." ”

"Okay, I'll be in the small shop next to me, if things don't go well, you can come to the small shop to find me." Zhang Wei pointed to the small shop not far away and said to Wen Tingyun.

Wen Tingyun nodded, and took Yu Youwei into the Right Xiaowei camp, and Li Yi was locked up in the prison of the Right Xiaowei camp as a suspect.

The moment they walked into the camp, both Wen Tingyun and Yu Youwei's hearts were full of fear. After all, everyone is an ordinary person, and if nothing happens, who wants to deal with a prison cell?

Anyone who has been dealing with prison cells for a long time is either a prison guard or a prisoner, and ordinary people like Wen Tingyun and Yu Youwei would never come to this kind of place if they had nothing to do.

But things went quite smoothly, and the money was paid for ransom, and then Li Yi walked out of the cell under the leadership of two soldiers.

It seems that Zhang Wei's words still worked.

Li Yi, who walked out of the cell, was really full of vicissitudes of life, physically and mentally exhausted, and even his handsome walking posture on weekdays became limping. When he saw that it was Yu Youwei and Wen Tingyun who came to pick him up, he was a little surprised, "Mr. Wen, are you here?" ”

Wen Tingyun looked at him angrily and said, "If it weren't for Youwei taking money to ransom you, I'm afraid you would have to be locked up for a few more days." ”

Yu Youwei took the money to redeem herself?

Li Yi looked at Yu Youwei in surprise and said, "Li Yi has thanked the girl, and I will live up to the girl's great kindness in this life." ”

If you can say this, what else can Yu Youwei say?

Since she met Li Yi, Yu Youwei initially rejected this handsome married woman, but when she knew that she would never be able to wait for Wen Tingyun, she also tried to contact Li Yi, Li Yi at that time was indeed unusual, and she was very able to capture the girl's mind, a look, a word of concern, and an inadvertent action all made Yu Youwei feel warm.

I have to say that Li Yi, who has been in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane for a long time, still has a lot of experience in coaxing women, and he can coax a virgin like Yu Youwei with a small amount of money.

"Let's go, we'll send you back." Without waiting for Li Yi to talk to Yu Youwei any more, the right Xiaowei soldier pushed him away.

"Master Jun, no need, my friend has come to pick me up, I can go back by myself." Li Yi said to the right Xiaowei soldier.

"Nope." The right Xiaowei soldier said to Li Yi: "My friend is not your wife. Before your wife sees you, we'll have to send you home herself, or what will she do with us tomorrow?" Let's go. The soldier couldn't say anything, and pulled Li Yi into the car.

After Li Yi left, Wen Tingyun said to Yu Youwei: "You have also seen people, let's go too." ”

Walking out of the right Xiaowei camp, Zhang Wei came over, "People released?" ”

"The right guard has been sent back." Wen Tingyun replied.

"It's good to let people go, it's still early, it's better to go and sit in my house." Zhang Wei stepped forward and invited.

Wen Tingyun looked at Yu Youwei, Yu Youwei did not object, so she said to Zhang Wei: "It's okay, it's been so long, Youwei hasn't been to your house yet, so let's go over and sit together if I happen to have nothing to do today." ”

Sitting on Wen Tingyun's frame, the three of them walked towards Zhang Wei's mansion in Chang'an City together, and came to Zhang Wei's mansion in a short time.

The doorman stepped forward and said, "Childe is back." ”

"Settle the frame, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks, I want to drink with the two of you." Zhang Wei got out of the car and explained to his subordinates.

"No—"

After all, Yu Youwei walked into Zhang Wei's house for the first time, and looked left and right curiously, "Although Zhang Gongzi's house is not big, it is very compact, and it is located in Chang'an City, such a house should be very expensive, right?" ”

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Your ——, is indeed very expensive, but I didn't pay for it." ”

Yes? Didn't pay for such a big house?

Yu Youwei smiled and asked, "How can you not pay for such a good house?" Could it be that the emperor rewarded you? ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, silly girl, how could the emperor give me a five-grade petty official reward house? This house was bought for me in Chang'an by the Youzhou Festival because of my outstanding achievements. ”

"Oh——, I see." Yu Youwei suddenly realized.

On this day, in Zhang Wei's courtyard, Wen Tingyun, Zhang Wei and Yu Youwei were in a very good mood and drank a lot of wine.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Zhang Wei, who was very drunk, sent the two out of the door.
