Chapter 3: Invite friends to travel together
Eighty pounds of red copper is not a difficult thing? All the things that are touched by the red copper in Huai'an Houfu are drawn together, and I am afraid that I can't even get five catties of red copper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huai'an Houfu has copper coins, but unfortunately the copper coins are not red copper, red copper is also called red copper is pure copper, and the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are brass copper coins cast by the alloy of red copper and zinc.
Chen Siwei's bold words were only exchanged for He Yushi's white eyes and a cold snort, who would take his crazy words seriously? Before leaving, the mustache also deliberately made two gestures to Chen Siwei, one was the number three, and the other was to slash at his neck with his hand.
The number three naturally reminds Chen Siwei that he only has a three-day time limit, and the other gesture naturally tells Chen Siwei that he will definitely take his life at that time, and he will not even be able to go to the destination if he is exiled.
Lord Qincha came and went away like a fierce god, and the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion shook his head and sighed: "Young master, the old slave will send you back to your room to rest." ”
Chen Siwei raised the holy decree in his hand: "Go back to the room, is there red copper in the room?" ”
There is no room in the house, there is no in the entire Huai'an Houfu, and not only that, but the entire Bianliang City can't make up eighty catties of red copper. Copper is not expensive, but it is extremely rare.
Ordinary people don't have red copper at home, at most they are small utensils such as curtain hooks and lampstands. However, the government needs a large amount of red copper, because red copper is the main material for making copper coins.
Separating red copper from copper coins is simply impossible because there is no such technology. The emperor punished them for handing over the red copper, because he saw that they couldn't hand it over, and he was embarrassing them.
Otherwise, if it is converted into silver or copper coins, the Houfu will not be short of these small coins. Eighty catties of red copper are discounted to more than three hundred taels of silver, and Hou Ye's silver for a month is nine hundred taels of silver.
The housekeeper looked at Chen Siwei speechlessly, there is no red copper in the room, where can you get red copper? Chen Siwei looked around and ordered, "Prepare a thousand taels of silver tickets for me." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper nodded in response, now the silver ticket is similar to waste paper for the Chen family, and the last three days have a chance to spend money, and the family property will be confiscated after three days.
"You take people out on the street to beat gongs and drums, curtain hooks, etc., and the price is higher than the market price."
The "young master" housekeeper knew that the child was unreliable, so he directly interrupted Chen Siwei's words: "It's useless, no matter how high the price is now, you won't be able to collect eighty catties of red copper in three days." ”
"Did I let you collect enough eighty pounds?" Chen Siwei was very unhappy that his speech was interrupted: "Also, the purchase price must be lower than the market price, you know?" ”
"Low?" The housekeeper was puzzled, he couldn't collect the high price, and you were still low when the fire burned his eyebrows?
"Yes, the higher the price you get, the more no one sells, they are all waiting to see when the price is higher, and we can't afford to wait. Therefore, it must be collected at a low price, so that others think that the red copper is worthless, and they are in a hurry to make a move, so that the collection can be fast. ”
Chen Siwei admired his ability to talk nonsense, and he was stunned and almost believed what the people in the whole house said. The butler asked weakly, "Is this okay?" ”
"Dead horses should be live horse doctors, anyway, we can't help it, you can go out and try it."
"That's right." The housekeeper immediately ordered a few strong men, packed up the two gongs, asked them to prepare a cart, and was about to go to the street to collect the red copper.
Chen Siwei specially instructed: "I'd rather not accept it, and never pay a high price." ”
"Yes." The steward did not dare to disobey him, after all, he was his own young master.
The housekeeper doesn't care about the high price and low price, anyway, no matter how high the price is, it is to scatter some money, and he can't receive eighty catties of red copper at all, but it is better to lower the price, so that no one sells it, and he will be idle.
There are only three days left in the good days, and the housekeeper just wants to take this opportunity to come out and take one last turn in the city, and just take a break, what else can he do?
Chen Siwei took the silver ticket, put some loose silver in his purse and walked out of Huai'an Houfu, and was stopped by two guards at the door of his house: "Why are you going?" ”
"The master is not a prisoner, he can do whatever he wants." Chen Siwei is naturally not afraid of them, and anyone who dares to stop him within the three-day time limit is to offend the good people, and now that he has no title, he still has the opportunity to face the saint.
"We are commanded"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to follow you, don't be verbose if you don't want to follow." Chen Siwei can only go around the city, not out of the city, those guards blocked the front door and back door of Huai'an Houfu, and the people inside escaped.
Chen Siwei had no way to refuse to be surrounded, and there was no way not to let people follow. He swaggered towards the streets of Bianliang, followed by four guards, and knew that there must be someone to protect him when he went out, and even the courtyard was saved.
The prosperity of Bianliang City is equivalent to that of Paris in the 21st century, and the streets are full of shops and dazzling people. Chen Siwei grew up in Bianliang City and is quite familiar with this place.
Now Chen Siwei has all the memories of his predecessor, and he himself is a little confused about who he is, is Chen Siwei in the 21st century traveling to the Great Song Dynasty, or is Chen Siwei in the Great Song Dynasty suddenly having the advanced consciousness of the 21st century?
It's already like this anyway, it's useless to think too much, let's be safe when you come. The burning eyebrows looked in front of him, and now the top priority was to get eighty catties of red copper.
Chen Siwei did not covet the prosperity of the market, he did not ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair, and walked through several streets to a porcelain shop.
There is a water sign at the door of this shop, and the water sign reads "Ru kiln fine porcelain". Chen Siwei stepped in, and the four guards followed.
Chen Siwei doesn't buy anything, the second child in this store is very familiar with him, and when he came in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Little Xianggong, you haven't been here for a few days, and our master has been talking to you for the past two days." ”
"Is the old man okay?"
"Okay, okay, it's just a bit unfortunate today, our master went to Zhang's Mansion to pay homage, and I don't know when I will come back."
"I'm here to find your little brother today, is he there?"
"The young master is here, I'll invite you to go."
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and a little fat man with a dark face walked out, and when he saw Chen Siwei, he ran over with a smile: "Alas, you haven't come to play with me for a long time." ”
"I've had a headache for a few days, but it's okay today, let's go out and play."
"Okay." The little fat man agreed very happily, he didn't ask where to play or what to play, anyway, it must be good with Chen Siwei, he paid for whatever he wanted.
After walking a few steps outside, the little fat man shouted that he was hungry. Chen Siwei was not ambiguous, looked up and saw a big restaurant in front of him, and directly took him upstairs to open a private room.
"Wow, you're so generous today, take me to the restaurant to eat." The little fat man's eyes were not enough, Chen Siwei just smiled faintly, and secretly said in his heart, "What is the restaurant, my net worth and life are on you." ’。
