please make me king

Chapter 589 Gold 2

Chapter 589
After Zhang Shun visited the thatched cottage and recruited the old mountain chief Zuo Lengchan thoroughly.

On the second day, Zhang Shun sent Zhao Lizi to lead a hundred soldiers to the four city gates, beat gongs and drums, and preached back and forth: "King Shun attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, in order to show encouragement. Special gold thousand taels, buy rice noodles for one bag. Send it to the back of the palace and pay immediately!"

When the people of Luoyang City heard it, wasn't this just to fool fools?In this era, the exchange rate between gold and silver is generally around one to five. The so-called thousand taels of gold are five thousand taels of silver.Who is so stupid, take it out and exchange it for a bag of rice noodles!

Zhang Shun's routine is also simple, and a discerning person can see at a glance that he is actually imitating the old wisdom of Shang Yang's city gate.

It's just that many people with integrity disdain to associate with thieves, so it's unreasonable.Zhao Lizi had been walking around the four gates of Luoyang City for a long time, and the whole city knew about it.

Sure enough, a brave man shouted loudly: "Isn't it just a bag of rice and noodles? My family is at a loss. As long as King Shun pays me one or two taels of gold, it will be worth it."

Then, the man found a wheelbarrow, brought up a bag of corn, and wanted to push it away.

As a result, his old father hurriedly dragged him and said: "Then King Shun is doing a business of beheading, and today's publicity is just to amuse everyone."

"If you climb up the pole and refute King Shun's face, I'm afraid he will be furious and you won't get the gold, but you will lose your life!"

Then the younger generation is young and energetic, and he is greedy for Zhang Shun's reward, how can he listen to it?He hurriedly broke free and shouted loudly: "What kind of man is King Shun? He crushed me like an ant. Why do you have to coax me like this?"

"As long as I want to kill, I will stretch my neck to receive the knife, don't worry about my father!"

The old father immediately blew his beard and stared angrily, then he wanted to find a wicker, and stepped forward to beat him.This guy is a generous guy, how could he be willing to be beaten honestly?
He hastily grabbed the handlebar and rushed towards Fu Wang's mansion pushing the wheelbarrow like flying.The old father had no choice but to lose his only son when he had time, so he had to shout from behind while turning the willow branch, trying to give him a couple of blows.The two chased after each other, and arrived at Prince Fu's mansion not long after.

Hearing the commotion outside the mansion, Zhang Shun took Wukong and others out of the back door of the palace.As a result, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the door, surrounded by three layers of people inside and three layers outside, ready to watch the joke of that "bastard".

Seeing Zhang Shun coming out, that "bastard" couldn't help but his eyes lit up.He hastily got rid of the entanglement of his old father, struggled to get two willow branches, and then carried the corn on the cart.

The man only pushed his shoulders forward, and threw the big bag of corn in front of Zhang Shun.Then, he clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Your Highness King Shun, my corn has arrived, and please bring me a thousand taels of gold. Don't be reckless!"

Lu Weiqi watched clearly from the side, knowing that Zhang Shun was the old wisdom of standing in the city gate, but he didn't know what kind of trick he was planning to play.Seeing that the visitor was at odds with the old father, I was not happy.

He quickly stood up and scolded: "Don't be rude, what kind of man is King Shun, how can he rely on your little money?"

It doesn't matter when Lu Weiqi yelled, the surrounding people immediately commented: "In my opinion, this King Shun will definitely renege on his debt!"

"That's right, a thousand taels of gold for a bag of corn. This is taking King Shun as a fool!"

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Zhang Shun couldn't help but took two steps forward, coughed lightly, and said loudly: "This king is true to his word, and he will do what he says. Come here, bring me a thousand taels of gold as a reward for this A strong man!"

"Wow! This King Shun is really a bit stupid!" The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Zhang Shun's face darkened, and he couldn't help explaining quickly: "I advise Jun Mo to value a thousand taels of gold, not to eat, drink, or chew! Advise Jun Mo to lighten a bowl of millet, so that people can be born when famine comes! Since ancient times, people's food is the sky, and I advise farmers San is the most important thing!"

"This summer, Qixian County, Weishi and other places suffered locust plagues. The locusts landed on the ground and lived for more than ten days. The grain was destroyed and the people were in dire straits! Although my Henan Province has not suffered from this disaster, we must not be careless!"

"If there is preparation, there will be no danger. If there is no preparation, there will be worry. This autumn, the weather will be severely drought, and many wheat seedlings will die. I plan to organize people to re-plow in the spring to relieve the risk of famine. What do you think?"

Everyone who Zhang Shun said was speechless.Food is the most important thing for the people, and civilians who have been tortured by natural and man-made disasters have a deep understanding of this.

At this point, everyone knows Zhang Shun's deep meaning of "buying grain with a thousand pieces of gold".They couldn't help but responded: "I don't have anything else to do, only the ability to cultivate the fields from generation to generation, and the ability passed down from generation to generation! This is a good thing for myself. Since King Shun has the heart, we will do nothing!"

Another person boasted: "I'm seventy-eight old man, I don't know how many disasters I have encountered in my life, and I was lucky enough to survive. But I have never heard of the government to organize our replanting. Since there is such a good thing, how can we do it?" Shouldn't it?"

Lu Weiqi looked at it for a long while, as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

He secretly said: "This King Shun is cunning, and he doesn't know what he is going to do. If I sincerely help the people to replant and replant, I can't stand idly by! If I have ulterior motives to deceive the people of Henan, I can't just sit idly by!"

When everyone was yelling, Wukong had brought out a big red box.In front of everyone, Zhang Shun opened the box with his own hands, only to see a golden light shining out, which immediately blinded everyone's eyes.

Inside the box were twelve taels of gold ingots, a total of one hundred, densely packed to fill the entire box.

"Weighing!" Zhang Shun shouted and ordered.

The "bastard" and his old father had hugged each other and wept. Hearing the words, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "I am convinced of King Shun's reputation. There is no need to be weighed, no need to be weighed!"

To be honest, looking at such a golden gold ingot, Zhang Shun felt very painful.Thinking back to the big family in Zezhou like Wang Zhu'er, he could only squeeze out ten thousand taels of silver with all his efforts.

Although I am rich and powerful now, I can't wave my hand, so I am half of the Wang family's property?
Fortunately, he also knows the truth that being reluctant to bear children can't trap wolves. Since he is ready to use this matter to hype it up, he naturally wants to maximize his benefits.

This so-called "scaling" is not only for the "bastard" to watch, but also for the onlookers to watch.

As the so-called "money and silk touch people's hearts", there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, each worth hundreds of millions or billions, but not many people are so envious that they can't sleep.

If someone walks down the street with millions of cash in hand, everyone will definitely look at him with malice in his heart.

For ordinary people, apart from exchanging the grain in the field for silver during the second tax season in summer and autumn, where have they seen so much gold and silver on weekdays?
What's more, in the past, there were scattered pieces of silver, and there were so many black and autumnal stone-like things.How can there be such a neat, golden and shining thing that attracts people's mind?

If it weren't for Wukong leading soldiers in iron armor and holding sharp knives to guard both sides, the surrounding people couldn't help rushing forward and snatched up the box of gold.
