"Don't look at him as a first-five-grade official, even if he is a second-grade or third-grade commander and a general, in front of others, he has to keep his voice down, behave like a slave, and dare not say a word. Hey, don't say it's them, even those arrogant and domineering toasts in the southwest realm have to honestly offer the soil ceremony, otherwise, your dead father is not allowed to be buried, and the title you should inherit is not sure when it will come down. ”

Lian Zining nodded, even if he knew the function of the Ministry of Meritorious Service before, he never imagined that its power would be so powerful, and the official of the fifth grade could make the generals of the second and third grades of the army talk with smiling faces, and until now, he had an intuitive understanding.

Rat Whisker took a sip of tea and said, "Lian Xianggong, do you know that book "The Secret History of Xiangye"? ”

Lian Zining naturally didn't know, shook his head again, choked on the rat whiskers, and said with a dry laugh: "There, I told about a big corrupt official, the corrupt official embezzled eight million taels of silver, the mansion at home is comparable to the Forbidden City, and he has countless wives and concubines. The corrupt officials in this book allude to He Sanyuan, who was appointed as a military election official in Shilang, and it is said that He Sanyuan's enemy invited someone to write it, then He Sanyuan was just a third-class Tongjinshi background, and he achieved this position by licking the stomach of the cabinet Sanfu, but in three years, it became a family of great wealth, not necessarily as much as eight million as written in the book, but there are always four or five million taels. From this, it can also be seen that this son is so fat? ”

Eight million taels of silver? Lian Zining looked at the ceiling blankly, and couldn't measure how huge this number was in his heart - in some idiot TV series and novels in later generations, it was not clear how much the purchasing power of silver was, especially in the contemporary TV series, there were two steamed buns and a bowl of soup for 5 taels of silver, and a young grandmother lost 10 million taels of silver in a gamble and other absurd plots, showing how ignorant and unserious the current Chinese creators are, you must know that the annual income of the treasury during the Wanli period only reached 2 million taels, and it is also a figure that is unique to the abundant treasury revenue after Zhang Juzheng's reform.

Even masters like Jin Yong don't seem to have conducted in-depth research on the monetary value of silver taels, everyone should remember that Guo Jing first met Huang Rong and was slaughtered by her, and the result was "settled in a while, a total of 19 taels and 7 coins and 4 cents".

You must know that this small fortune is worth a lot of money in Lian Zining, and the food and clothing of Cheng Yu and Cheng Yu for a month is only one or two silver! One tael of silver, two stones of rice, three hundred and seventy-seven .six catties, six hundred and sixty yuan, this is the value of one tael of silver.

At this point, Lian Zining really realized how valuable a tael of silver was, what about eight million taels?

However, Lian Zining was also very human after all, and quickly broke free from this shocking emotion, and asked rhetorically: "Shopkeeper Tong, what are you telling me to do this?" ”

Shopkeeper Tong smiled, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he leaned over to Lian Zining, and said in a low voice: "Then after Lian Xianggong left, Yu Dongjia talked to Miss Dai about you, and then didn't you pick up your sister and come back together?" Then Miss Dai mistakenly thought that Miss Chengyu was your crush, and the look on her face was a little stunned! It's not that the old man is boasting, the old man's eyes, which have read countless people, can be regarded as vicious, that Miss Dai, she must have some thoughts about you in her heart. Hehe, it's not difficult to understand, the so-called pink loves heroes, beauties naturally love talents, and even Xianggong is so talented that attracting women is also the proper meaning. As the saying goes, when you meet a lover, you will lose your name, hehe, everything is unspoken. ”

Lian Zining couldn't help but be dumbfounded, as he thought, he was actually a pimp. He thought in his heart that if he could really achieve good things with Miss Dai and climb the line of Dai Zhangpu, then it would be of great help to him in the future. In particular, he is a member of the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division, and he is no longer able to take the imperial examination, so he can only take the road of joining the army, so it is more helpful.

He shook his head, dispelled this tempting thought, and muttered, "Then, shopkeeper Tong, why did you come to tell me this news today?" ”

Shopkeeper Tong smiled: "It's just a good fate." Although I don't look at the appearance, I also know that talents like Lian Xianggong are definitely not things in the pool, and the little old man himself is incapable. ”

Lian Zining was silent for a while, got up, arched his hand, shook it deeply, and said solemnly: "Thank you!" ”

In any case, no matter what the motive of the shopkeeper Tong is, at least, the information he brought to himself may change his fate. Before this, Lian Zining had never had such thoughts in his heart, but now, it was quietly taking root in his heart.

Shopkeeper Tong hurriedly got up and stepped aside, his face was full of panic, and he said in a stacked voice: "Don't dare, don't dare, even the prime minister is like this, but the old man can't afford it!" ”

Not to mention anything else, just say that Lian Zining is a talented person, and he is just an old boy who has tried and failed, when the two meet, he has to respectfully call a senior brother and call himself a junior, this is etiquette! And now Lian Zining actually saluted him, which made him feel frightened, but also a little moved and sad, and his voice trembled.

Lian Zining said with a smile: "This is as it should be, if the shopkeeper Tong can come here to tell me this, the student must remember it in his heart." ”

What he means is that your goal has been achieved, no matter how you find it in the future, you will remember your feelings for the time being.

The shopkeeper Tong achieved his goal, and after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left, Ji Yaxuan was about to open the door to do business at this time, and he still had to go to work.

Lian Zining and Cheng Yu also went out shopping, and the two went to Zhang Xianggongmiao Street, which was also a prosperous street at that time. The gongs and drums are noisy, and the voices are boiling. This is a prosperous place in the capital, it was originally the ancestral temple of a big family surnamed Zhang in the previous dynasty, and was later destroyed by the military disaster, but this name is indeed retained, and all kinds of juggling and small trading in the square in front of the temple gate are fascinating.

The monkey man dressed the monkey in red, and the scholar bowed his hands and knelt down and kowtowed, and the monkey player held a gong to ask the audience for money, and the people applauded while rewarding him with a few coppers at will, and the monkey hugged his fist for the master to thank him.

The man who pinches the dough and makes the sugar painting is sought after by the children, the man who crushes the boulder on the chest and sells the strong pill wins the applause of the old and young masters, and the one who steps on stilts and somersaults makes a dazzling thrilling action.
