Chapter 359

When Xu Tong came home in the evening, he was greeted by heat as soon as he entered the door.

A warm basin has been set up in the room, and cotton curtains have been hung inside and outside the room.

"Where did you go all day?"

When the grandma saw him coming back, she couldn't help complaining. Xu Tong grinned and walked to the grandma: "Mother, I just came back from outside, and you always want me to go out and have some tea with my friends, don't you?"

The eldest grandma shook her head: "Your father can say, let you rest for a few days, and go to the palace to be on duty honestly."

"That's nature, that's nature."

Qin Tianjian is such a good place, how can I miss it.

Besides, apart from Qin Tianjian, there are so many treasures in the entire palace, if I can't take the opportunity to plan it early, it will be too late to arrange it later.

"Mom, look..."

Grandma glanced at Xu Tong's cramped palm, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Why don't you have a worry-free time every day, and how much do you want?"

"Not much, you give me this number."

Xu Tong stretched out his finger.

"Ten taels?"

"Add the word ten thousand at the end."

The rosary in Grandma's hand paused, and she raised her head to look at Xu Tong: "300 million taels of silver??"

"It would be best if you understand it as gold!" Xu Tong picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"I don't understand!"

The eldest grandma's voice was broken, and she stared at her precious son: "Even if you sell your mother, you still can't get 300 million taels of silver."

Of course Xu Tong would not tell Grandma, but he had already sold his old lady for a good price.

He picked up another piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth: "Isn't this asking you to give me a trick?"

"You child, 300 million taels of silver, even if your father is sitting in the position of the admiral of the Nine Gates, he still can't afford that much money."

What is the concept of 300 million taels of silver? ?

Calculated by the current grain price of the Datong Dynasty, ten renminbi can buy a catty of rice. This is because of the current disasters. Poor people who cannot afford grain can buy coarse grains such as sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger, and the price will be cheaper.

Three million taels of silver, at a small scale, is enough for the court to provide disaster relief to Henan, and at a large scale, it is enough for the court to build a powerful navy.

For such a large sum of money, let alone the admiral of the Nine Gates, even the Empress Dowager Merciful would not be able to come up with such a large sum of money for a while.

"Hey, I know, but I don't want all the money at once. You can make up a small amount for me, and I will figure out the rest myself."

Xu Tong knew the concept of this money, but he really needed such a large sum of money.

He thought clearly on the way back.

Why is it that no matter whether it is the upper class or the lower class, even if it is those shady deeds, why do they not do the great merits of saving all sentient beings in front of them, but why do they want to earn some merits from the poor and poor? ?
They don't have that ability? ?
No, as long as a different person stands up, one person can match the ability of ten or even a hundred people in the government.

Take Xu Mao who escaped from Lianshan Temple last time as an example. With his paper shadow technique, he can turn a small house into a small house with a flick of his hand. If you build a few more, no one will freeze to death on the street in winter.

But he didn't.

There are absolutely no strangers like Xu Mao, but so far no one has come forward, why? ?There is only one answer.

No money.

Wealth couples are in the law and land, and people in practice, wealth ranks first.

Even if you are a terrestrial god, there are times when you are hungry even if you have no money.

Not to mention, if you want to do great merit, you will hardly be able to live without money.

Especially the practitioners in Xiajiulu, most of them are not even well-off, just take the executioners we saw today as an example.

The official salary plus the money from the blood steamed buns is only enough for them to eat and wear. After all, beheadings are not done every day.

Generally speaking, in this industry, the peak season is concentrated in autumn. Unless it is a heinous crime, there is not so much work for you to do, and you still rely on farming on weekdays.

You have to say, these people are capable, can't they still make money?
Well, this involves another issue, three disadvantages and five disadvantages.

Although the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism do not have this restriction, they have strict religious rules that restrain them.

For example, the monk’s clear rules and precepts, the rules of true asceticism, the Confucian gentleman’s rules, etc., you choose to practice in this area, the rules you must abide by, coupled with your own huge size, every move may cause many problems in various aspects, resulting in It is impossible for them to come forward and do such a thankless thing.

After all, they don't do anything, and they can improve their abilities by relying on their own way of cultivation, so why bother to do such a thing.

People in Xiajiuliu don't have so many constraints, but they don't have to do it if they want to.

One has no money, two has no power, three has nothing to do, and four has no one.

For those who are miserable, whether they can survive the sun of tomorrow is a question, and they care about the lives of others? ?

So they don't have this ability, but unfortunately they have such a condition.

If the fox soul rescued in the soul coffin shop is only exchanged for the blessing of wealth in three scripts, in the eyes of normal people, the price and gain are completely unequal.

This is not in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.

But it wasn't until I figured out the reason for it that I realized that the four words "blessing of wealth" had already pushed me to the threshold leading to the Kangzhuang Avenue.

Next, he only needs to make a final move, and he can quickly gather a large amount of power in a short period of time.

This is like, a blogger with tens of millions of followers is just short of a means to monetize traffic.

The small number Xu Tong mentioned was an astronomical figure in the investment of 300 million taels of silver. No matter how much the eldest grandma doted on her only child, she would not be able to spend so much money.

"What are you going to do? If you continue to mess around, I will ask your father to come and talk to you at night."

Seeing that Xu Tong was still pestering him for money, the eldest grandma couldn't help but get a little angry.

"Nothing else, be a good person, do good deeds, and accumulate some virtue for our family." Xu Tong ate all the pastries on the table after a while.

"Go, go, no money!"

When the eldest grandma heard such out-of-the-ordinary words, she even had a bad face.

What is her own son, can she not know?
To put it bluntly, she worshiped and recited Buddha all these years, after all, wasn't it all because this little ancestor was too damaged.

But even if Ma Hongwen was no longer a thing, it was still a piece of flesh that fell from his body.

Even if someone poked her back secretly, she would suffer.

I just hope that this child will save some time in the future, do less crimes, and leave incense for their old Ma's family in the future, so that she can see the ancestors of the Ma family.

"mother!!"

Seeing this, Xu Tong could only resort to Ma Hongwen's spitting and rolling. The eldest grandma's face was dark, seeing Ma Hongwen starting to slap her again, she gritted her teeth angrily, but she finally took out a few banknotes from her sleeve: "That's all!" gone."

After speaking, she walked towards the inner room with the help of the maid, and when she reached the door, the grandma still stopped: "Go, first pay 3000 taels of silver to the accountant, and besides, during the period when you are not here, the Chen family The young lady has come to see me a lot, and it's time for you to go to Chen's house to pay respects."

Xu Tong was stunned when he heard the words, and he understood in a moment, that's right, the old lady didn't say anything, and he even forgot, wealth is the first, and the second is the second, guarding the God of Wealth, are you afraid of running out of money?
So he smiled and said, "You still love me."

After finishing speaking, he took the money and went back to his side courtyard.

"Teacher, are you really going to save those people??"

The three big girls lay down at the entrance of the hall and asked, if these things are successful, they will also be the biggest beneficiaries. After all, merit is the lifeblood for fairies like them.

"Of course, but this matter still needs to be carefully planned. We can't be the leader. We need to find someone to stand in front of us."

Xu Tong still understands the truth of shooting the top bird. With so many merits, he can eat them all by himself, but he may not be able to protect them.

Besides, you can't do it in your own name, otherwise how can you be a yamen safely? ?
While talking to Da Ya, Xu Tong opened the door and walked in, only to see Huo Wuji and the others gathering in the yard to drink.

The female thief Le Rou sat aside and chatted.

After Xu Tong looked around such a large circle of people, the corner of his eye twitched, and he walked in front of Huo Wuji and the others.

Looking at the faces of Huo Wuji and the others, Huo Wuji and the others seemed to have sensed Xu Tong's serious expression, and immediately shut their mouths, quietly waiting for Ma Ge to speak.

Xu Tong took out the tobacco rod and shredded tobacco from the props book, Beside Knowles and Qianshou immediately helped Xu Tong lay the shredded tobacco and light the firewood knowingly.

Xu Tong took a deep breath, and while he was breathing out the smoke, his face finally showed the madness of Mr. Ma again: "Everyone, it's time to work."
