"Oh......" Bai Yaming glanced at him with some surprise and said with a smile: "It's really a lot." ”

Sixty thousand guan, that is, sixty thousand taels of silver, converted into renminbi, about sixty million.

This money, at the price level of Bianliang, can buy 100,000 stone of grain, or 60,000 horses of silk, or 300,000 horses of cloth, or 60,000 pigs, or 12,000 calves, or 20,000 sheep"... or buy ten noble houses in the capital, or pay one-fifth of the annual coin to the Liao State......

Well, not to mention the spoiling things...... if it is used for food, weddings, funerals, New Year's entertainment, clothing and housing, etc., to maintain an ordinary standard of living, it is enough for him to spend 1,643 years; But if you go to visit the Qinglou and drink flower wine, you have to ask for a higher grade, only

Enough for him to spend sixteen years...... Of course, no one can sing songs night and night, otherwise it won't take sixteen years, and six years will have to become dry bones in the grave.

If it is too expensive and you want to enjoy it, you can keep concubines and entertain yourself. The Song Dynasty prohibited human trafficking, but allowed the legal and voluntary buying and selling of concubines and maids. There are less than 100 ordinary handmaids, but the problem is that they can only be bought out for three years...... After three years, it's either signed again, or someone else

Go home to find your mother, you are breaking the law if you stop it.

Concubines and maidservants sign the same professional contract, but the scope of business is different. Unlike the relatively fixed price of the maidservant, the price of the concubine, because of the big difference in appearance, has to be three hundred for ordinary appearance, seven or eight hundred for those who can be called beautiful, and thousands of them for being stunning.

But then again, the concubine Meiji is not a matter of buying it back, the nurse, the food of clothing, and the residential carriage and horse "all have to be equipped with all the people, if you live in a low-rent house in the government, are you embarrassed to raise a concubine?" So it's really hard to say which one costs more money, buying or prostitution.

Back to the point.

The amount of 60,000 is indeed a huge amount of money. However, in the Song Dynasty, where there was a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, in addition to the salary of a first-class official, plus welfare subsidies of various names, the average monthly income of three or four hundred yuan was only ten years' salary. And the richest people in Bianjing City are not high-ranking officials, but rich

Shang is the home of the princes"...

So for Bai Yaming, who is used to seeing big scenes, although there is a lot of money, it will definitely not make him sigh.

His intention was that if you deposited, it would be too expensive...... First of all, it is necessary to exchange the Jiaozi, and draw one out of a hundred, that is, to even six hundred; After that, every year of saving, not only no interest, but also a storage fee, the annual fee is 3/1000..."

That is to say, Chen Ke has a deposit for a year, and he has to give people 180 yuan ......, your sister is darker than the four major banks!

Seeing his gloomy face, Bai Yaming smiled and said, "If San Lang thinks such bad money, there is another way." ”

"Speak."

"Don't save or borrow." Bai Yaming said lightly: "Not only are all fees free, but we also pay interest backwards." ”

"Oh......", Chen Ke groaned, but in his heart, it turned out that this group of Jews had already discovered the ...... of the goldsmith principle. But I don't know if it is caused by the deep-rooted concept of contract in this nation that has made a covenant with God: or after a thousand years of exile, he cherishes the happy land in Bianjing too much, he

We did not use the customer's deposit without authorization, but used this painstaking language to get the customer to sign the contract voluntarily.

"Don't worry about the principal", Bai Yaming gave him another reassuring pill and said: "We will provide an equal amount of guarantee as soon as we give Le Ye." ”

"I can ask." Chen Ke thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Is this Jiaozi shop official, or is it a gift from you." Also, what do you spend your money for? ”

"For the first question, of course, it is official, but now, we are a contractor." Bai Yaming smiled and said: "As for the second one, this is a trade secret and has nothing to say." ”

"Hahaha,..." Chen Ke laughed loudly: "I know if I don't say it!" ”

"Oh......" Bai Yaming said quietly: "Why don't you tell me about it?" ”

Chen Ke pointed to the north and the northwest, smiling without saying a word.

"Hehehe......" Bai Yaming laughed, and after laughing, he hugged his fists and said: "Please San Lang, be sure to come to us at a convenient time, I believe we will have a good conversation." ”

"No problem." Chen Ke smiled and said: "Of the 60,000 yuan, save 10,000, and lend the rest to you." ”

"Oh?" Bai Yaming was stunned for a moment, he thought that Chen Ke would not see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle, and he would talk about it later.

"What's there to care about with this money." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled, and said in the style of a big-tailed wolf: "What I care about is the wealth of the rich country, I hope that when the time comes, you can be ready." ”

Song Duanping sighed together, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue......

"When the time comes, you must listen to it." Bai Yaming said with a grimace.

After making an appointment to meet, Bai Yaming sent Chen Ke to the street and watched them leave. Only then did he smile bitterly, he was really young and frivolous,...

In the next few days, Chen Ke brothers walked around

I went shopping, but there was no local with me, and I didn't seem to be able to play with it, so I simply read at home first, and then talked about it in two days.

Two days later, at dinner, Chen Xiliang said that he would have a break tomorrow, so he could accompany them and ask them where they wanted to go.

Speaking of which, the number of holidays for officials in the Song Dynasty was incomparable to ......that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, plus the ten-day vacation, there was a hundred years of vacation a year, which was about the same as two thousand years later.

"Let's go and accompany Aunt Cao." Chen Ke laughed and said, "We have been here for the past few days, but we have disturbed the lives of the two of you." ”

"Nonsense...", Chen Xiliang's old face turned red, but he still asked: "You really don't need me to accompany you?" ”

"I really don't need to", Chen Ke said, "We have to go and see the teacher." ”

"Go to Bachelor Ouyang's house, and I will be attached to the Xinzheng Gate" ,..." Chen Xiliang said: "I asked Chen Shi to take you there." ”

"No, when we came, Uncle Su pointed it out to us."

Early the next morning, Chen Ke took the native products brought from Meizhou, went to the southwest of the city, walked for half an hour, and arrived near the Yinliang Bridge in Shuntianmen. There is no need to ask, and I will find the door of Ouyang Xiu's house at once.......

There were so many people trapped at the door that an alley was stuffed.

Needless to say, these are all here to worship the leader of the Brown Literary Alliance. After this comeback, Ouyang Xiu's status has risen again, and his praise and disapproval can make or destroy a literati. Legend has it that today's scribes are not afraid of punishment, demotion of officials, or emperors, but only Europe

Yang Xiu commented .......

Of course, the scholars are more arrogant, and no one thinks that they can't do it, so from the day he returned to Bianliang, this alley was crowded with eager readers. Whenever Boss Ouyang was at home, everyone would take the manuscript, and the high-grade ones would also have letters of recommendation, and they would stay all night

There was a queue in front of his house, and sometimes, the line could be as close as Yinliang holding ",...

Its grand occasion is comparable to buying a train ticket for the Spring Festival, but the people in line are all scholars. But it is not monotonous at all, because there are people in their fifties and sixties, there are also those in their fifteen or sixteen years, and even the elderly are also queuing up crookedly. Others persuaded him to go home and hug him

Sun Tzu, but he didn't say that he was a martyr in his twilight years, and he was .......

Business also came into being, and many vendors carried wine berries, fried liver and rice porridge, as well as various anthologies of Cheng Wen and famous writers, and peddled them in the alleys......

Chen Ke struggled through the alleys like vegetable markets, but it didn't take long for him to be noticed.

A scholar shouted, "Hey, why are you cutting in line!" ”

At this sound, Chen Ke immediately became the focus, and the scholars looked at them with disdain, as if they were looking at a thief. It's embarrassing for them. Song Duanping smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we're here to visit relatives." ”

"Really?" A tall and thin scholar said with an expressionless face: "Before you, there were already eighteen people who had used this reason. ”

"It's really", Song Duanping scratched his ears and cheeks: "We are Ouyang Gong's students......",

It doesn't matter if you don't say it, as soon as this sentence came out, there were boos in the alley, and I don't know how many people despised it together: "Which one in this alley is not Ouyang Gong's student?" "Hurry up and get in line, or we're welcome?" "That is, don't look at your cattle and horses, you know,

Don't be angry! ”

Chen Ke and the others were extremely big-headed when they boarded, and they had already reported their homes, and if they started beating people again, they would be discrediting Ouyang Gong. No matter how they say it, they don't believe it, they can't squeeze in, and they retreat too facelessly...... at this time, I really miss the little monk Xuanyu, a lion roar, and make sure to put the people inside

Call out and open the door.

In the midst of embarrassment, someone came in at the entrance of the alley. People are more popular than people, and the treatment of others is much better than Chen Ke and them, and the scholars automatically get out of the way, and greet them warmly. The older ones are called 'Brother Zigu...... and the younger ones are called 'Mr. Nan Fung, which is commensurate.'

The tall and thin scholar smiled at Chen Ke with a few gloating smiles: "The decent disciples of Luling Gong are here, but I want to see if I recognize you." ”

"What about recognition?"

"I'll call you grandpa."

"I don't have a grandson like you." Chen Ke glanced at him lightly, almost blew up the scholar's anger, and shouted at Brother Zigu: "Mr. Nanfeng, there are people here pretending to be your junior brother." ”

"Oh?" That brother Gu is not tall, and he is blocked tightly, and he only hears his voice, but does not see his person.

People hurriedly got out of the way, hoping that he would expose these liars.

Brother Zigu, it was easy to squeeze in, and when he saw Chen Ke, he hugged him happily and said, "Senior brother, you are here so soon?!" ”

It's really a good situation, come on, pay off the debt first...... (To be continued)
