Chapter 11 Ambition
No more fever, no more dizziness, Zhuang Xun sat on the desk to proofread the accounts, re-fill in the specifications, sort out the numbers, and summarize them one by one, his efficiency is much worse than that of a professional accountant, after all, he only took accounting as a freshman, and it just so happened that the teacher was stricter and had too much homework.
However, Arabic numerals and this kind of system knowledge are dimensionally reduced compared to the somewhat rudimentary ancient accounts, and it will not take long for an account book to be sorted out.
Arrange a book and call one person in, take away the account book, and leave a string of copper coins to thank you and leave.
Siqin Mi continued her morning work and embroidered peonies.
As time passed, the accounts were sorted out, and there were hundreds of copper coins on the table.
Until the last Hu Shang head, he put down a broken silver, about two or three taels of silver.
"What's the businessman's business?" Zhuang Xun didn't look at the broken silver, but looked at Hu Shangtou.
"The emperor is mediocre, the traitors are in power, the Yu country is already unsustainable, Mr. Zhuang has great talents, it is better to go to Chengguo with me to show his skills." Hu Shangtou invited.
"Chengguo?" Zhuang Xun remembered that his friend also went to Chengguo.
Siqin Mi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed embroidery, kicked Zhuang Xun gently.
"Take back the broken silver first, and I'll think about it." Zhuang Xun pushed the broken silver on the table and said.
"Zhuang Gongzi, please be sure to think more, wait for the business tax to come down in a few days, but it's too late, it's a pity that a talent like you stays in Yu Kingdom, Yinliang will be my apology for being difficult to help the day before yesterday." Hu Shangtou shook his head and said, taking the account book and turning around and walking very simply.
"The lady has something to say." Hu Shangtou left, and Zhuang Xun turned his head to look at Si Qinmi.
"The chaotic situation is getting better, Chengguo is now politically stable, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a chance to get ahead, although Lang Jun has the imperial lineage, but this kind of thing cannot be passed on lightly." Siqin Mi still remembered what the reincarnation king said for ten years, and it was the most, so he had a sense of urgency.
"My ancestors knew that there was a landlord, and he was knocked down by the wind and waves of the times, where did this emperor come from." Zhuang Xun covered his face and said, and the surname of his family has to be a prince and has to go back to two thousand years ago, and return the emperor's lineage.
"When the concubine was studying, I read that the emperor's vein, the mandate of heaven bestowed it, the certificate of the Son of Heaven, why it was awarded by the mandate of heaven, and the concubine didn't know." Siqin Mi herself is not very clear.
"This, inexplicably, is burdened with an imperial vein, and if you don't fight for hegemony, you will be killed, what is this." Zhuang Xun sighed and said that it was a bit normal for him to cross by himself, but he did not have the ambition to fight for the dragon, or he did not have the conditions to fight for the dragon in this situation.
"Lang Jun doesn't want to be the Son of Heaven and govern the chaotic world?" Si Qinmi couldn't understand the unambitious Zhuang Xun, ordinary people were already arrogant when they heard that they had the destiny to be the emperor.
"Can I be a good Son of Heaven and rule the world?"
"How did I become the Son of Heaven?"
Zhuang Xun doesn't feel that he has any special talents, this world is still the world of immortals and demons.
"The concubine will help you, whether it is to become the Son of Heaven or to govern the world, the concubine will help you, as long as you are willing, the concubine will also help Lang Jun ascend to the throne." Si Qinmi's eyes were burning with flames, brilliant and bright, and people were also filled with a strong sense of self-confidence or pride.
"I don't want to see you broken bones, but I wish you peace and happiness." Zhuang Xun was infected by her self-confidence, but weak words still came to her lips.
"No, I mean we are like this now, what do we want to say about unifying Kyushu and helping the world to be a big deal." Zhuang Xun looked at the house, he was still white, and Siqin Mi's identity was even more invisible.
"That's why we have to be ambitious, if we don't even have this kind of ambition, how can we compete for the dragon among the hundred Jiao and compete among the princes?" Siqin Mi understood what the reincarnation king meant by being slow to keep it.
"You're right, what are we going to do next?" Zhuang Xun nodded, looking at Si Qinmi, she was very dazzling, this kind of bearing and open-mindedness, but she felt unrealistic, the restrictions of her background were already stuck
"First of all, we must earn a life capital, now the three kingdoms of Jizhou are strong, strong and weak, you can seek its country, become a good metaphysics, like Huang Lao, follow the caravan to go, with Lang Jun's ability to strategize, but small rich and small, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." Si Qinmi began to discuss her strategy for seeking the country.
"The country of Yu is weak, the court openly sells the official mantle, the people's minds change, Hebei Daijun, the bitter cold land, there are big rivers and natural dangers, and if the governance is done properly, one side can be divided, the people are poor and brave, recruit elite soldiers and brave, and the state of Yu can support the army if it changes." Siqin Mi chose the boundary and said.
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhuang Xun heard the description very well.
"Since the imperial court openly sells the official mantle, why doesn't Lang Jun buy the position of the acting county taishou?" Siqin Mi said
"Ah, where did I get the money, I can't buy this kind of business every day." Zhuang Xun pushed the copper coin on the table.
"Daijun is not expensive, 100,000 taels of silver, and the term of office is four years." Siqin Mi said an astronomical number.
“……”
"Why is Lang Jun silent, is he dissatisfied with this place? There are good places in other counties, but they are too expensive compared to Daigun, and there are no places less than 200,000 taels. Si Qinmi shook her head, in fact, choosing Daijun was already a last resort.
"Isn't it okay to pick a county first? No, even if I choose a county, I can't take out so much silver, and I may not be able to earn it in my lifetime. Zhuang Xun rubbed his thighs, just after getting the account, everyone was numb.
"There are concubines." Siqin Mi helped Zhuang Xun to bed, and her jade hand massaged his thighs, and the rich woman's speech shocked Zhuang Xun.
"Siqin's family has been raided by the royal family, where did you get the money, you can't go back to the Zhenguo Mansion to get it." Zhuang Xun was puzzled, even if it was any money, Siqin Mi now had no bills.
"The death of my mother gave the concubine a surplus fortune, the value of gold and silver jewelry is about 100,000 taels, the concubine is stored in the stone ridge next to the mother's tomb, and I go to worship every year, and I don't see the masonry moving, the money should still be there, and it just so happens that the Siqin family is unwilling to let my mother enter the ancestral land, but it is to avoid the risk of being damaged." Siqin Mi said lightly.
Zhuang Xun heard her indignation, he pressed Si Qin Mi's hand and said, "Are the people of the Si Qin family so hateful? Don't let you enter the ancestral land, and also, this should be the funeral of your mother-in-law, isn't it good for us to use it. ”
"My mother was born as a slave, and the concubine is not a man, so she is not a member of the Siqin family, so it is good to avoid the catastrophe." Siqin Mi became glad and said.
Seeing Zhuang Xun's worried look, he comforted and said: "It's okay, it's over, as for this batch of gold and silver jewelry, my mother is afraid that the identity of the concubine will be disliked, and she can't bury her husband's ancestral land when she dies, so she desperately wants to save a dowry for the concubine, but she didn't use it to Zhenguo Mansion, and now the concubine marries Lang Jun, and it also meets her mother's wishes, after all, the concubine will definitely be buried in the land of Lang Jun's family." ”
"Of course, you are my wife, of course you bury my family's land, but will we have a place to bury in the future?" Zhuang Xun, who has shallow knowledge of history, also knows that participating in such a thing as chasing Kyushu will be the fate of the loser.
"Not necessarily, but if you don't fight for it, there must be no, the concubine has already prepared in her heart, if there is no place to bury her, she is willing to go to the underworld with Lang Jun."
"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, the good ones are not allowed to be bad, but isn't the mother-in-law a concubine? How can there be so much gold and silver. Zhuang Xun was still a little shocked and said.
"Is it much? Not much, the mother has saved for more than 20 years, the filial piety received by the General's Mansion every year, the gifts of the royal family, countless, and the business itself, although it is a concubine, there is a lot of silver money when there is a posture, and there are a lot of utensils rewards, which have decreased after old age, but the mother's thorn show skills are famous Yin Du, and he has also made a lot of money, and he is diligent and thrifty on weekdays, unlike Mrs. dozens of maids waiting, not to mention that it is not all gold and silver, and jade treasures, which is a rough estimate of 100,000. ”
