Zhang Shouzhong quickly calculated the account in his heart.

There is a Zhou generation, the exchange rate of gold and silver has been fluctuating up and down one to ten, one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and ten taels of copper coins for a total of 10,000 Wen. Although in different places, the local people will have their own customary deductions for one reason or another, but the overall difference will not be too much.

During the Jianxi period, the annual tax revenue of the national treasury was about two or three million taels of silver, and the price that Bai Ling called out that night had accounted for half of the imperial court's annual revenue......

Of course, this is calculated from the monetary point of view alone, and most of the taxes of the Great Zhou are collected in the form of grain - but even if all of them are converted into silver, the annual income of the imperial court is about twenty or thirty million taels of silver.

The amount of this one-night transaction in May is already worth one-twentieth of the total tax revenue of dozens of state capitals in the Great Week!

However, this is a place that is completely outside the supervision of the household ministry and is under the full authority of the inner court.

There are rumors in the market that the ratio of the division between the teaching workshop and the flower kilns of Baihuaya is as high as eight to two, according to Zhang Shouzhong's experience, most of the exaggerated news to this extent is false...... But what is the specific commission, and how much income can be obtained by Baihuaya in the palace every year, this is really a mystery.

Jingzhou now has 80,000 soldiers and 140,000 horses, and needs 900,000 stone of grain for 10 months alone, but the total grain of several warehouses in its state capital is only 650,000 stone...... This is only what Jingzhou lacks in terms of grain, if you count the other three state capitals in the north, and then count other expenses...... This hole will be even bigger.

Zhang Shouzhong frowned.

The livelihood of the inner court, they are very few courtiers, but from the past few years of getting along with the emperor day and night, Zhang Shouzhong has an intuition - for this big gold mine under his nose, the emperor may be as dark as Zheng Mi.

At least at the end of the past few years, when the accounts were reconciled, the accounts sorted out by the master of ceremonies did not reflect Baihuaya's terrifying ability to absorb gold at all......

And this kind of ability, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes tonight, Zhang Shouzhong would never have believed it.

"Shouzhong?"

Zhang Shouzhong came back to his senses and realized that Sun Beiji was shouting to himself.

"Elder Ge." He hurriedly leaned closer.

"When you reconciled the accounts in December, do you remember the inner court accounts that Gonggong Yuan took out from his side?" Sun Beiji asked with a frown.

Zhang Shouzhong's eyes were slightly condensed - he knew that Sun Beiji must have thought of going with him again!

"Remember, remember." Zhang Shouzhong replied.

Sun Beiji frowned, "Let's go back...... Sort it out. ”

"Huh." Zhang Shouzhong nodded with a complicated gaze.

The outside bidding continued, but the interval became longer and longer, and the final price stopped at the position of 104,526 taels of gold, which can be said to be a whole number.

The people in the hall all craned their necks, trying to find some slight gaps to see what the nobles who spent a lot of money in the shadows looked like.

But outside the compartments on the second and third floors, there are only bead curtains that are constantly shaking as turtle paws enter and exit.

Everything quietly calmed down.

"One hundred thousand taels...... Zheng Mi raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, "This ...... This can't be the emperor, right? ”

"It's not impossible." Zhang Shouzhong said softly, after all, for the emperor, smashing 100,000 taels here is somewhat a bit of a left-handed to right-handed meaning, "However, even if the last one is the emperor, then who will be the other one who will follow the bidding?" ”

For a while, no one could answer.

Sun Beiji made a note in his heart - this, you have to check it too.

Bai Ling and Ai Songqing retreated backstage, the other girls waiting on the stage and the turtle paws who were guarding the order consciously gave way to the road, people retreated, but they vied with curiosity to look forward, Ai Songqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran back to the stage to pick up Bai Ling's cloak, and came back to wrap Bai Ling tightly again.

The bustard pushed away all the people who stood in front of her, and with tears on her face, she held the two little girls in her arms and continued to howl, Ai Songqing and Bai Ling were a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to push away.

There are still a few girls who haven't played behind the tide, and the bustard mother obviously can't leave at this time, but for the two little girls in front of her who directly broke the record of the crescent line, the bustard still showed an unprecedented warmth.

She asked a few turtle paws who had been following her to take Bai Ling and Ai Songqing to change their clothes, and then go to a nearby rest place for some supper-this day was busy, except for a meal at noon, all the girls had basically not eaten water and rice until now.

Ai Songqing originally wanted to inquire who the two last bidders were tonight, but the people in the tooth shop also immediately came and wanted to pull the bustard mother to talk elsewhere, so she had to give up.

The two of them held hands and walked towards the side door of the tooth shop.

Passing through the backstage, everyone looked at it curiously, Ai Songqing was worried in her heart, she didn't dare to look directly at the eyes of the people around her, she only felt that everything she noticed in the afterglow was complicated enough.

She looked sideways at Bai Ling, who looked ahead without squinting, his face calm, as if he was thinking of something else.

Ai Songqing took a deep breath, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I always feel that in the future, there will probably be many more days like this.

As soon as the teeth came out, the cool breeze of the summer night blew, and Bai Ling and Ai Songqing both breathed a sigh of relief—it was so hot in the hall.

"Two," Turtlepaw smiled and showed them the way, even bowing slightly as he spoke, "go this way." ”

Ai Songqing was a little unaccustomed, but he also smiled reluctantly, and said yes, but before he could take a step, Bai Ling's face suddenly changed slightly, and he ran a few steps towards the road in the opposite direction - and then was immediately stopped by the turtle paw.

"Boling ——?" Ai Songqing looked at this side with some surprise.

"Let me go over and have a look, shall I?" Bai Ling's expression was a little anxious, she frowned and looked at the intersection in the distance, "You can go with me-"

Turtle Paw keenly sensed that something was wrong, and two of them immediately ran in the direction Bai Ling was looking to check, while the others cleverly surrounded Bai Ling.

"Miss Bai, don't embarrass us, I said I'll take you to the rest room to sit down, you can't run around like this."

At the intersection of Baihuaya, there is an endless stream of cars, horses and people.

Bai Ling stood in place, looking into the distance with some suspicion, and did not speak for a long time.

“…… Did Miss Bai see any acquaintances? Turtlepaw asked tentatively.

Bai Ling shook his head silently.

"Then let's go, you're precious now, just standing outside like this, it's not good."

Ai Songqing leaned in, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask Bai Ling what was wrong, but she heard Bai Ling's almost imperceptible sigh.

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze from the brightly lit street corner and replied in a low voice, "...... Good. ”
