Zhu Bai still has to speak.

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "There is no need to talk about this anymore." We've given you enough power. ”

Zhu Bai pursed his lips: It's impossible to ask Lao Zhu to promise so much. However, if I don't engage in a silver village, I can't transport silver to me, and it's useless.

I still have to think of a different way.

Lao Zhu saw that he was unhappy, and he was a little weak-hearted, so he coughed dryly and asked, "How are you taking someone to count Gu Cheng's stolen silver?" ”

Zhu Bai said weakly: "It's still ordering." ”

That's not his, what's the point of ordering someone else's silver?!

Lao Zhu chuckled: "Tut, do you know why these officials crowd every time they raid their homes?" ”

Zhu Bai looked at Lao Zhu: "I don't know." ”

Lao Zhu said: "Because the corrupt official is greedy for how much silver he embezzles, he will only say less, not more." What should I do if there is an extra amount when I confiscate it? If you have a little conscience, keep a little for yourself and turn in most of it. Those who have no conscience are basically left behind. Those jewelry, jade, antiques and so on, not to mention. There is no number at all. ”

realized that Lao Zhu handed over this job to him, but he was actually really a little doting on him.

Zhu Bai suddenly realized and became excited: "If this is the case, I will have the strength to order silver." ”

Lao Zhu sighed: "Let's say that you are usually very smart, why did you make a fool at this time." ”

Zhu Bai also sighed: "Alas, the son's is not his father's. Left hand to right hand. What's the use of taking it. ”

Lao Zhu smiled: "Count you wise." But don't deduct too much. ”

Zhu Bai took Fugui and a few little eunuchs to open the room where the silver was kept.

Zhu Bai took a melon seed and sat down: "You order, I'll see." ”

As soon as they opened more than a hundred boxes, the room was filled with silver light.

Zhu Bai smiled and thought: This is what it looks like.

Then they began to weigh each box of silver.

After a while, Fugui came over and said, "Your Highness, basically the net weight of a box is four thousand taels. Only three boxes are missing. ”

Zhu Bai frowned: "The three boxes are not full?" ”

Fugui said, "It's full." It's all the same, the box is full of turns. ”

Zhu Bai shook his head: "No, no, no." If it is sterling silver, the density is the same, how can it be less......

Halfway through his speech, he stopped.

If it's less, it means it's not all sterling silver.

Zhu Bai asked Fugui suspiciously: "Is there any fake silver?" ”

Fugui said, "Of course. There are many kinds of fake silver, and the slightly better one is called low-colored silver, which is mixed with other things in the silver, mainly silver. The most fake is only the surface layer is silver, and the inside is coated with iron or lead. There are many names outside, what are the nine-way cakes, grits copper cakes, inverted lead, and wire blowing...... There are dozens of them. ”

Zhu Bai frowned: "Aren't all the silver we ordered Gu Cheng collected?" How can there be a fake? ”

Fugui said: "Fake silver is easy to identify, and low-colored silver cannot be seen by looking at it alone unless it is weighed together." ”

Zhu Bai nodded slightly: Yes. Four thousand taels is only three or four taels away. If it's a one-two-two, it's hard to see the problem.

He suddenly became excited, and said to Fugui, "Bring those three boxes of fake silver." Let's sift through it, clean up the fake ones, and keep them. ”

Fugui looked dazed: "Ang? What is the use of the fake staying? ”

Zhu Bai: "Make it more fake, so fake that children can see it at a glance." ”

The eunuchs looked at each other.

Zhu Bai said, "And then you ...... like this

-----

The treasury came to report to Lao Zhu that the king of Xiang had sent a total of 150 boxes of silver, totaling 600,000 taels, ten boxes of gold totaling 50,000 taels, and 200,000 taels of silver tickets.

Lao Zhu silently calculated in his heart: according to the news of the second tiger, Zhu Bai counted one hundred and fifty-eight boxes of silver and twelve boxes of gold.

This kid isn't greedy.

He waved his hand: "Go to the treasury." ”

Lao Zhu thought about it and asked Erhu: "What has that kid been doing these two days?" ”

Erhu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Fake silver." ”

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and plucked out his ears: "What is he doing, do you say it again?" ”

Erhu: "The eight boxes of silver left by His Highness are not in good condition, and he said that he would turn them into sixteen boxes." ”

Lao Zhu frowned: "How can it be insufficient?" ”

Erhu said: "Probably Gu Cheng collected too much silver, and he didn't have time to test it. And these eight boxes are mixed with a little sundries, which is difficult to distinguish. ”

Lao Zhu's face wrinkled: "Then Zhu Bai's bastard boy wants to make the silver more fake." What's going on in his head? ”

Normally, as an official, when you receive fake silver, especially the dirty silver obtained by this kind of copyist, shouldn't it be purified and recast? How can adulteration continue?

Erhu shook his head: "The minister can't understand." ”

------

Lao Zhu quickly understood what Zhu Bai was going to do.

Because today he saw Zhu Bai coaxing Zhu Chun by the lake with a silver ingot: "I don't have any broken silver in my hand, I will use this ten taels to exchange five taels of broken silver with you." ”

Zhu Chun's eyes lit up, and he was a little hesitant: "Really?" ”

Zhu Bai: "Really. Anyway, what I have is silver. I'm not afraid to give you a little more. ”

Lao Zhu scolded in his heart: This rebel turned out to be making fake silver to defraud his younger brothers and sisters of the monthly money. He is making money every day, and he wants to hack the two melons and dates in his younger siblings' hands, which is really infuriating.

"Brother Twelve waits, I'll go back and get it." Zhu Chun said excitedly and was about to leave.

Lao Zhu coughed dryly: "Old Eleven." This scammer has always deceived only those who are greedy for small gains. You almost fell for it last time, and this time you believe him again. You're half a year older than him, can you also have a bigger brain? ”

Zhu Chun glanced at the silver in his hand suspiciously: "What did he lie to me." ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand to the eunuch, and the eunuch asked to go over and get the silver.

Zhu Chun held the silver in his arms: "What are you going to do?" ”

The eunuch didn't dare to grab it, and looked back at Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu smiled angrily and said to Erhu, "You go." ”

The second tiger arched his hand at Zhu Chun: "Your Highness, I have offended." ”

Then went over to rob it, Zhu Chunniu's temper came up, and he just didn't let go.

Erhu could only wave at the other two guards.

Zhu Bai was a little unbearable, and said to Zhu Chun: "Why don't you give it to them." We're not changing. ”

Zhu Chun was distracted, and as soon as he was pulled by the two tigers, the silver flew straight towards the lake.

"Ahh

The crowd exclaimed in unison.

I am not afraid of the silver being gone, mainly because I am afraid of Zhu Bai spilling.

As soon as there was a "poof", the silver fell on the water, sank a little, floated again, and finally floated on the surface of the water......

rippling with the waves, as if laughing at Zhu Chun.

Zhu Chun's eyes widened: "I'll go!! ”

No matter how stupid you are, you know that it is impossible for silver to float on the water.

How fake this silver is!!

Zhu Bai was so helpless.

He was afraid that Zhu Chun and the others would not be able to see it, so he had already hollowed out the silver, filled it with sawdust and then sealed it, and held it lightly in his hand.

Zhu Chun still believed it.

This kid really doesn't have a good brain.
