Chapter 17: Yingguo Mansion (4)
If Li Yuan knew what Wu Shi Tong was thinking, he would definitely smile in his heart and say that he didn't need you to pay it back, just want your daughter, but in reality, he couldn't say this, just ask Wu Shi Tong if your wife has a daughter, how old is it?
It's rude, unless you're here to find your in-laws. But Li Yuan now has only three sons, one is the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, and the other two are Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Lu.
It's just that compared to the sister-in-law, these two concubines are basically guys who are not loved by their mothers and fathers, and they are only six or seven years old now, which is less time than Li Yuan has to see his grandson.
Li Yuan is a very affectionate person, but like his son Li Shimin, he loves the four sons born to Queen Dou very much, and he loves the other sons, so hehe. After all, the concubine's mother didn't have any feelings for Li Yuan before, she was just a tool to vent her desires, and now Li Yuan was even more indifferent to them, and she didn't know about these sons.
He needs to find a reason to meet the current Xiao Wu Zetian and take her away.
"Little... The villain greets His Majesty... Ying Guogong. Wang Ya's lips trembled, two rows of teeth stumbled and said not fluent, his heart was very frightened, when he heard that it was the emperor who came, he didn't care about taking the Ying Guo Mansion into custody, and hurriedly ran out of the Ying Guo Mansion, who expected to be arrested.
Li Yuan was silent, talking to such a small character would lose his identity, he took a step forward on the painting screen, looked at Wang Yajiang with his neck tilted his neck, and shouted: "Wang Lao Liu, how much is the mansion of the Ying Guo Mansion?" My master is going to buy it again. ”
Seeing that it was the little palace maid who summoned him, Wang Laoliu hesitated, and after a pause, Li Yuan motionlessly motioned to another palace maid with his eyes, and the palace maid stood up and whispered: "The female historian is a five-grade official, one grade higher than the county order of your Wannian County!" “
Wang Lao Liu secretly smacked his tongue, this little palace maid is more powerful than his own county order, and she is a grade higher, she is worthy of coming out of the palace, in fact, if he has some culture, he should know that the five-grade female history in the palace is more prominent than the third-grade officials of the foreign dynasty, and he did not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Yingguo Mansion is located in Wubenfang, adjacent to the palace, it is a first-class good location in Chang'an, three years ago, the price of the house was 6,000 yuan, so... The villain's offer is four thousand five hundred,"
After finishing speaking, Wang Lao Liu felt remorseful in his heart, cautiously raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan, and quickly retracted his head, if this dilapidated merchant relied on the old relationship with the Emperor Taishang in the past, said a few bad things about him, and trampled him to death It would be a trivial matter, who could still treat the Emperor Taishang? Even if the entire Chang'an knew that the Emperor Taishang was already angry, it was easy to stand at the pinnacle of power and despise them.
As the saying goes, a good prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, but no matter how big the prime minister is, he can't be as big as the emperor, relying on the identity of the official of Wannian County, he can coerce the warrior Tong, the disgraced prince of the country - 'act impartially"!
Mo said that when he met the Emperor Taishang, he made a noise from the palace, and they didn't dare to push the price so low, and the house was pressed to 4,500!
"Four thousand five hundred?" Pictured was frightened by the price, rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "How much?" Four thousand five hundred, this is such a big house as this workshop will cost 10,000 yuan, and the supply exceeds demand, Wang Laoliu, you are really amazing! ”
She couldn't help but want to say a few words of admiration in her heart! Admire! The ability to buy low and sell high is really remarkable, and her monthly routine money is only three times, so a discount is enough for her to turn around for several lifetimes.
Just when the painting screen wanted to give a strict reprimand and give this tooth who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, he saw Li Yuan frowning secretly, and understood that she had delayed time, His Majesty didn't need to know how much money he was greedy for, what he wanted was a result, as for the punishment, he had his own county government to do it, and he could still be wronged by the emperor?
So as soon as the painting screen wanted to shake off his majesty and play the power of being an official, he was stopped by Li Yuan, and he pouted helplessly, looking at this tooth in disgust, "Wang Lao Liu, how much is this jasper coral tree worth?" Can it be used in the family of the Prince? ”
The tooth shop is different from the pawnshop, the pawnshop has a dead and alive pawn, the live pawn is to mortgage things to the pawnshop, and when there is money, it can be redeemed for a limited period of time, and the dead pawn is to sell to the pawnshop at a low price, the tooth shop is similar to the dead pawn, buy the seller's things at a low price, sell them at a high price, and earn the difference.
So strictly speaking, if the samurai has signed the contract, it means that the house is already a tooth shop, so it needs to be bought again.
Wang Laoliu's face turned pale, cold sweat dripped on the floor, he looked up at the jasper coral tree, and said cautiously: "This jasper coral tree is priceless, the villain does not dare to accept it, and please spare your majesty!" Spare your life! ”
Hearing no response, Wang Lao Liu felt a chill in his heart, and said: "Although these four thousand five hundred yuan are less, this is the selling price, and the villain is also calculated according to the price sold in the house three years ago." ”
This is all a secret rule, it is not good to say it openly, the tooth line is not a good village, it must be profitable, but the price measured in this depends on who is selling?
Li Yuan coughed lightly and said softly: "This jasper coral tree is worth a fortune, as for how much it depends on your own palm?" ”
Wang Lao Liu's heart understands that it is the same as a mirror, this is to let him spend money to buy his life! Who would dare to take this jasper coral tree? Even if you accept it, you have to send it back to the palace obediently.
So even if he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he had to grit his teeth and say: "The villain is clumsy, and he doesn't know the treasures of the heavenly family, but I heard that the emperor always has a number of long lives, and I think this ten thousand is the biggest... The villain thinks that the jasper coral tree worth 10,000 is the best! ”
Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, did not answer, nodded on the painting screen, and said, "If you are lucky, this jasper coral tree will be sold to you for 10,000 yuan, and you will get the money." ”
After that, he stretched out the white and tender Rouyi to Wang Lao Liu.
Wang Laoliu's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but his face was like being amnestied, and he hurriedly took out a handful of flying money from his arms and said: "There are a total of three thousand guan here, and there are three thousand five hundred guan villains who immediately go home and make up enough to send to the Yingguo Mansion." ”
Flying money, also known as "convenient exchange", "convenient money", is the main exchange coupon of the Tang and Song dynasties, the main currency in the Tang and Song dynasties is copper money and silk, and the two are generally inconvenient to transport, so the merchants in Chang'an will hand over the money to the Jinju Yuan, the army, the envoys, or the rich merchants stationed in Beijing, obtain the voucher, and return to the province to withdraw money.
And each of the one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an has a concert courtyard to deal with the affairs of each square, and the 'flying money' given by Wang Laoliu is a kind of voucher for Wubenfang or Wannian County, with which he can go to the government to withdraw money.
But this is not Jiaozi and Huizi! Huizi and Jiaozi are commonly used for commercial purposes and have been approximated to paper money, while 'flying money' is more like a check from a bank and a pawn ticket from a pawnshop.
