Chapter 103: Speak Straight

Guan Loss's house is a must go, not only this is the first person in Youzhou to know himself, but also from the last time he gave generously, he also laid a solid friendship, and now Guan Loss calls himself, it is no longer a name, but a word that expresses closeness.

Regardless of the loss of good wine, Lu Peng's specialty Moutai must be brought with him, fifty jars are a must, let this old friend drink enough, and there are yellow and white things are also necessary, of course, in terms of number, there is no Taishou and Zou Jingduo, after all, he is low two people, this is not because Lu Peng underestimated him, but indeed because he gave too much, and was known by the two big people above, but he would have a dislike for himself, this thing is like this, give it well, get twice the result with half the effort, everyone falls into personal favors, and once you send it wrong, Not only will your gift be wasted, but it will also cause you a lot of trouble.

The scale of Guan Yuan's family is definitely not small, this Youzhou Taishou is a celebrity under his hands, and the annual gray income is definitely not a few, when Lu Peng came over, he saw Guan Qi standing in the doorway from a distance, watching around against the cold wind.

Lu Peng took a few steps forward to greet him: "I don't know what kind of distinguished guest Mr. is waiting for here, if it is inconvenient, I will come back tomorrow." ”

As a result, Guan Qi laughed, and helped Lu Peng up with both hands: "I didn't wait for any distinguished guests, I was waiting for my brother Brother Hanqiang, I estimated that you should also arrive, come and come, hurry up and follow me to the court, the dishes are ready, just wait for your good wine to enter the table." Then he pretended to be angry and said: "Don't say that you didn't bring it today, I know very well that the world's fine wine Moutai, but your righteous brother Zhang Shiyuan's magic weapon, like me, can only quietly drink a sip during the New Year's holidays, that thing is too expensive, if a person like me who is a good drinker spends money to drink it every day, it will make me bankrupt at that time." ”

Lu Peng hurriedly said: "Brother, what I said is right, I will directly bring you 50 altars this time, and I can't kill you by drinking." Then the two of them laughed and walked into the lobby together.

The fire in the lobby is booming, two, on the table, has already placed the delicacies, two people came directly, sat down, Lu Peng arched his hand and said: "50 jars of fine wine, this is a New Year's gift for my brother, one hundred taels of gold, this is for my sister-in-law and children, New Year's flowers, please don't refuse." ”

Regardless of the loss, he gave up his hand and generously accepted this rich gift, fifty jars of wine, that is, 50,000 yuan, enough for himself to entertain distinguished guests for a year, just this amount of gold, it is completely easy for his family to live a good life for two or three years.

Book friends may also ask, as soon as you make a move, it is gold, gold, is there a lot of gold?

You're really right, before the Han Dynasty, copper coins and gold were the main circulating currencies in the market, while silver was relatively rare, and the rest was barter.

There is indeed a lot of gold, according to the research of those historical experts, before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were as many as 260 tons of gold circulating in the market (of course, I don't know what he relied on) 260 tons is not a lot compared to now, but you must know that the population base at that time, just before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the registered population of the country was only 80 million, if you count the population of hidden slave servants and displaced people, the entire Han Empire is only a population of more than 100 million, That's quite a lot on average.

At the same time, the gold at that time was not stored in the treasury, it was circulated as currency and copper money in the market, and in the habit of people at that time, as the most important material of the utensils, it was still noble bronze, and the cultural relics excavated from the tombs before the Han Dynasty were extremely rare, almost all of them were bronze and lacquer jade.

So why did gold suddenly become precious? Uncle Ben thought that it was just caused by several reasons, the first was the Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, where the wealthy families kept burying gold and copper coins in the ground, which caused most of the gold to be lost.

Another point, since the Tang Dynasty, people's lives have become more and more extravagant, began to use a large amount of gold to create gold and silver jewelry and utensils, think about the original Xi'an Famen Temple underground palace, once unearthed nearly a thousand pieces of gold, so later gold was used as a large number of utensils to build up, so the circulation on the market is less.

(The above is Uncle Ben's nonsense, please don't slap your face according to the party)

With such a rich gift, the relationship between the two people has deepened even more, especially at the same level, and it is more convenient for everyone to communicate, so the two sat opposite each other, shielding the left and right, Lu Peng raised his glass to Guan Yin: "Mr. takes care of Han Qiang, brother, I am engraved from the bottom of my heart, I don't come to anything, I will give my brother a glass here." Then he dried it out.

Even if you don't care about the loss, you will calmly accompany a glass, then put down the wine glass, pour yourself full of wine, and say to Lu Peng while pouring wine: "Brother Hanqiang's great ambition, I deeply believe that my brother will be developed in the future, and I also hope that my brother can take care of it, so we brothers just support each other, and we don't need to say who thanks whom." ”

This is the result of equal interests, everyone takes out their hearts to speak, and does not look ahead and do not engage in that hypocrisy.

Guan Yi raised his wine glass and said to Lu Peng: "This cup wishes my brother a prosperous future in the future, and we will drink it." ”

Lu Peng didn't twist and pretentious, he directly confronted Guan Pee, and then killed it in one bite.

When it came to the third cup, Guan Peep squinted his eyes and said to Lu Peng with a wine glass: "As far as I know, the brother not only has these 4,000 men and horses in his hands, but also has a place called Savage Valley, and there is a lot of inheritance, which shows the brother's ambition. ”

In this era, officials are sent from above, and officials are sent from below, which is the so-called iron-clad Yamen flowing officials, but the lower-level officials are indeed appointed by the locals, and often the lower-level officials have been doing the duties of this place for generations, and these local officials are intertwined, powerful, and well-informed, and foreign officials must rely on them to rule, so there will be that the officials sent down from above are often just a glorious hat, which has long been hollowed out by these low-level officials, in front of these local snakes, Lu Peng's things are hidden.

Lu Peng did not hide it, in front of the local head snake, and explained his plan: "Don't hide it from my brother, the world is about to break out, if you want to survive in this troubled world, I must have a deep foundation, after a few wars, I also hid a lot of seizures, in fact, my biggest income, or the wine you and I drink, here is my seventy percent of the shares, I bought those slaves, sheltered those homeless, is to prepare for the big changes in the future." ”

This is Lu Peng's cleverness, when people talk about people, when ghosts talk nonsense, if this remark is said in front of Liu Yan, it is a big rebellion, and in front of this loss, maybe you can get an unexpected surprise.
