When Long Xi was resting, Angelica went out.

Because there was such a fuss in the morning, she went out a little late.

When they arrived at the Sinong Society, several people from the Sinong Society had already arrived.

Li Ping happened to come back with the application form, he didn't have a smile on his face, and his eyebrows were also twisted.

"What's wrong?"

Angelica asked.

Li Ping pinched the application form and said gloomily: "This silver, Lord Qian refused to approve it, he said that in the past, the royal farm, even if it was full of crops, had never spent so much money.

This year's drought has opened the treasury for disaster relief, but now the treasury is empty, and there is no extra money to squander. ”

Angelica was speechless, she never expected that for two hundred and fifty taels of silver, the household would be so embarrassed, it was really a bit excessive.

At this time, the Han Society on the side spoke: "In the past, our Si Nong Society applied for funds, and it never exceeded one hundred taels at a time, but you came to two hundred and fifty taels at once, not to mention Lord Qian's level, even if it was me, I would think that your amount was a bit outrageous." ”

Angelica finally knew that it would be troublesome to do something for the official family in ancient times.

According to the purchasing power of silver in Longling Kingdom, one tael of silver is equivalent to one hundred yuan in modern times, and two hundred and fifty taels is equivalent to two hundred and fifty thousand yuan in modern times.

Such a sum of money, it is not too much to say less, but it is really not much, especially for the country's agricultural sector, how much is 250,000?

Not much at all.

Angelica glanced at Li Ping, "Where is Lord Qian?" I'm tired of Lord Li taking me there. ”

Originally, Angelica herself had silver, and she still paid for the two hundred and fifty taels, but this was doing things for the country, and she paid for it privately, which is unreasonable.

It's not that she's stingy, but she's afraid of overstepping, just like Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

He paid for the three armies, did he really dislike his head for growing on his neck for too long and wanted to buy the army?

This is definitely impossible, and the emperor is only the emperor who wants to please.

However, what is the result? The emperor was still suspicious of him, and he ended up losing his life.

Therefore, even if she can afford two hundred and fifty taels of silver, she can't afford it.

Otherwise, when the sweet potatoes are planted, the people of the world know that the emperor will not even give out two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and he will ask her to come out as the lord of Anping County, and she will get a reputation because of this.

However, this reputation can bring disaster to her.

Li Ping couldn't handle this matter, and when he heard Angelica say this, he wished that she would go, so the sadness on his face was swept away, and he immediately wanted to take Angelica to see Qian Xing, the head of the household department.

Han She said: "Lord Anping County, I think this time, you will apply for less funding, let's use a ten-acre land first, test it, the test is successful, let's apply again It's not too late."

When the time comes, Lord Qian will not refuse when he sees the actual effect. ”

Angelica glanced at Han She lightly: "Thank you Lord Han for your advice, the county lord knows it." ”

After Angelica finished speaking, he called Li Ping out.

Si Nong Shedi belongs to the household department, so the place where the household department book works is in the household hall not far from the Si Nong Society.

The New Year is approaching, the household is very busy, everyone walks in a hurry, with the strong wind of walking.

Qian Xing, the head of the household, is a thin little old man, wearing a dark red official uniform, full of style.

All the people who came to him to get money were accompanied by smiling faces, for fear of offending him.
