Chapter 17: Reassurance and Worry
"You don't call it a dog."
At first hearing this, Huang Chong was so frightened that his hair exploded, and a chill came from the tail vertebrae, straight to the door of his head, and he only felt that his hands and feet were cold for a while.
It's no wonder Huang Chong, his identity is too sensitive, it is no exaggeration to say that now Huang Chongke is more advanced than Tang Seng meat in "Journey to the West", Tang Seng meat is just those monsters want to eat, Huang Chong wants to take a bite no matter who he wants.
Not to mention anything else, the gold taels issued by the imperial court alone are enough to make most people's hearts moved, what is the concept of gold ten thousand taels?
To do a rough conversion, 10,000 taels of gold is roughly equivalent to 500 kilograms (for the convenience of calculation, one kilogram is equal to 10 taels here, and in ancient times, one kilogram was actually 16 taels, so there is an idiom called half a catty and eight taels), that is, 500,000 grams, one gram of gold is calculated at 350 yuan, and 100 taels of gold is exchanged for 175 million yuan.
Suppose a person can live to be 100 years old, and he wants to earn 175 million, which means that he has to earn about 200 per hour, 4,080 a day, so that he can earn 175 million after earning for a hundred years, and this does not take into account the inflation between the two eras.
In Hongzhou, which is the capital of Jiangxi Province in the future, ordinary people can eat and drink enough as long as three pennies a day, which is equivalent to one piece of two, if it is placed in the 21st century, I am afraid that one hundred and two may not be able to live for a day, which is a hundredfold gap.
**Uncle's bounty is about the same as Li Shouxin's bounty even if it doesn't take into account inflation, and Huang Chong's threat is not worth mentioning compared to uncle, how can you say this is not exciting.
This is also the reason why Huang Chong's cold hair exploded when Scarface said those words.
However, Huang Chong quickly calmed down, obviously it was absolutely impossible for the guy next to him to know his true identity, otherwise what was waiting for him today would be the official mission and the army, and it would be impossible for him to be here.
Not to mention Huang Chong's performance, the scarred face that hugged Huang Chong tightly felt the slight shaking of Huang Chong's body, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he knew that he had guessed correctly, it seemed that most of his apprenticeship was going to be settled.
"Boy, give me your package, so I'll let you go to Yangzhou with me." Scarface let go of Huang Chong's shoulder, but grabbed his arm and stood opposite Huang Chong and said.
If he knew that the guy in front of him was Li Shouxin in the future, he didn't know what Scarface's mood would be.
"You ......" Huang Chong clutched his package and looked at Scarface angrily.
On the surface, he was secretly relieved, firstly, because Scarface didn't know his true identity, and secondly, because what he said before about going to Yangzhou was true.
However, Huang Chong is still not out of danger now, he may not be able to put down the big man in front of him, even if Huang Chong has internal strength and martial arts, but the quality gap between the two is here, and it is not easy to settle him, not to mention that Huang Chong has to leave Yangzhou with the help of his relationship.
In addition, Huang Chong did not want to attract the attention of others.
"If you give me the package obediently, we will go to Yangzhou together later, and when you arrive in Yangzhou in the future, you will follow me, Brother Jiang will cover you and ensure that you eat and drink spicy food, if you want me to do it yourself, then you can continue to stay in Hongzhou alone." Scarface said viciously, like Huang Chong, he didn't want to attract the attention of others.
"You ......" Huang Chong bit his lower lip, tears were about to rush out, his face was full of grievances, if he came to say "you villain" at this time, it might be more appropriate.
"How's that, have you figured it out?" Huang Chong's appearance did not attract Scarface's sympathy, but made him even more proud.
"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Huang Chongcai nodded helplessly, and at the same time, his hands holding the package slowly loosened.
"Yes, even if you are a kid, I will cover you in the future." As he spoke, Scarface couldn't wait to reach out and take Huang Chong's package, although he succeeded, he didn't open the package directly, restraining his impulse, he didn't want to be seen by others, and he was guilty.
"Let's go."
……
After Scarface got the package, he kept holding the package, and he didn't embarrass Huang Chong, and after taking Huang Chong to the long-term cabinet to pay the protection fee, he joined the team of the long-term cabinet team together.
There were twenty-seven people in the long-term cabinet operation this time, except for an old man riding a donkey and a child, Huang Chong, the others were young and middle-aged, and each of them was given a crudely made stick, which could be used as a weapon or a crutch.
In addition, in order to facilitate management, twenty-seven people were divided into three teams, and Scarface was the captain of one of the teams, and the team members were all workers who worked together for a short time, including Huang Chong, originally Huang Chong thought that the thin man and the simple man would be with Scarface, but he didn't expect that there was only Scarface, of course, this is a good thing, so that Huang Chong will be easier to retrieve his package.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy set off on time.
A total of nineteen carriages were escorted by the long-term cabinet this time, and each carriage was covered with a thick tarpaulin, so it was impossible to see what was inside, but judging from the rut marks, Huang Chong estimated that at least half of them were loaded with gold and silver, so the speed of travel was not fast, and the ordinary people behind could keep up.
The escort team numbered more than sixty people, every three guards guarded a carriage, with a sword at his waist, and a fierce breath, although it was not as good as the internal guard, but it was not far behind, and the leader of the whole team was a smiling fat man, with a kind and wealthy appearance, and in fact, in the entire team, he gave Huang Chong the most dangerous feeling, and he should be a master of internal strength who has achieved cultivation.
On the way, they met a lot of people with swords and swords, and even saw two small fights, these people chose to take the initiative to avoid after seeing the flag of the long-term cabinet shop, although the scrutinizing eyes would be on the faces of the people who followed the team, but they did not dare to get too close.
I have to sigh - it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the tree.
Seeing this scene, Huang Chong's heart was hung in his heart, and most of it was put down, and the signboard of the long-term cabinet was still very useful.
After the external worries were put down, Huang Chong put his mind on Brother Jiang, to be precise, the package he was carrying, the package he had to get back, the cabinet voucher of 100,000 taels of silver and the two books obtained by Lu Yan's study were in the package.
Of course, Huang Chong took some precautions against the items in the package, but he didn't expect Scarface to be able to endure it until now, once he opened it in a crowded place, it would be difficult to do.
