imperial psychologist

Chapter 527 Awareness
Zhang Shouzhong quickly made a calculation in his mind.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the exchange rate of gold and silver has been fluctuating from one to ten. One tael of gold is exchanged for ten taels of silver, and ten copper coins are exchanged for a total of [-] Wen.Although in different places, there will be their own customary deduction due to various reasons, but the overall difference will not be too much.

During the Jianxi period, the national treasury’s annual tax revenue was about two to three million taels of silver. The price that Boling bid this night already accounted for half of the imperial court’s annual fiscal revenue...

Of course, this is calculated from the currency alone. Most of Dazhou’s taxes are collected in the form of grain—but even if it is all converted into silver, the annual income of the imperial court is about 3000 to [-] million taels of silver. look.

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

However, this is a place completely outside the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs and fully dominated by the inner court.

There are rumors in the market that the ratio between Jiaofangsi and Baihuaya's flower kilns is as high as eight to two. According to Zhang Shouzhong's experience, news that is exaggerated to this extent is mostly rumors... But what is the specific commission? It is really a mystery how much income Li can get from Baihuaya.

Jingzhou now has 14 soldiers and 90 horses, and needs 65 shi of military food in just ten months, but the total grain of the several warehouses in the state capital is only [-] shi... This is just Jingzhou's food alone. If the missing hole is included in the other three state capitals in the northern border, and other expenses are included... the hole will be even bigger.

Zhang Shouzhong frowned.

These courtiers seldom talk about the livelihood of the inner court, but from the day and night with the emperor in the past few years, Zhang Shouzhong has an intuition-for this big gold mine under his nose, the emperor may have a relationship with him and Zheng Mi. Dark under the same light.

At least when reconciling accounts at the end of the past few years, the accounts compiled by the Supervisor of Rites did not reflect Baihuaya's frightening ability to absorb money at all...

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

"Shouzhong?"

When Zhang Shouzhong came back to his senses, he realized that Sun Beiji was calling him.

"Ge Lao." He hastily leaned closer.

"During the account reconciliation in December, do you remember the inner court account that Eunuch Yuan took out?" Sun Beiji asked with a frown.

Zhang Shouzhong's eyes narrowed slightly - he knew that Sun Beiji must be with him again!

"I remember, I remember everything." Zhang Shouzhong replied.

Sun Beiji frowned deeply, "Let's go back... we have to deal with it."

"Hey." Zhang Shouzhong nodded with complicated eyes.

The price calls outside continued, but the intervals became longer and longer, and the final price stopped at the position of 520 six taels of gold, which can be said to be mixed.

Everyone in the hall stretched their necks, trying to find a little gap to see what the nobles who spend a lot of money in the dark look like.

But outside the cubicles on the second and third floors, there are only bead curtains that are constantly shaking as the tortoise claws come in and out.

Everything calmed down quietly.

"10 taels..." Zheng Mi raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, "This...is this the emperor?"

"It's not impossible." Zhang Shouzhong said softly. After all, for the emperor, throwing 10 taels here is more or less like turning his left hand into his right hand. "However, even if the last one is the emperor, the other one who follows the bid will Who is it?"

For a while, no one could answer.

Sun Beiji made a note in his heart—this one also needs to be investigated.

Bo Ling and Ai Songqing retreated to the backstage, the other girls waiting to come on stage and the tortoise claws who were in charge of the order consciously moved out of the way. People retreated, but they all looked forward curiously. Ai Songqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly He ran back to the stage and picked up Bo Ling's cloak, and wrapped it tightly again for Bo Ling when he came back.

The bustard pushed away all the people who stood in front of her, hugged the two little girls in her arms with tears all over her face and continued to cry. Both Ai Songqing and Bo Ling were a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to push them away.

There are still a few girls who didn't show up behind Xi's name. The bustard obviously can't leave at the moment, but to the two little girls in front of her who directly broke the record of May Yueya, the bustard still showed an unprecedented warmth.

She asked the turtle claws who had been with her all the time to take Bo Ling and Ai Songqing to change clothes, and then went to a nearby resting place to have some supper-after a busy day, all the women except for the noon meal The child has basically not had enough water until now.

Ai Songqing originally wanted to find out who the last two bidders were tonight, but the people from the dental shop also came to ask the bustard to talk elsewhere, so she had no choice but to give up.

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

All the way through the backstage, everyone looked over curiously, and Ai Songqing felt apprehensive, she didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the people around her, she only felt that everything she noticed from the corner of her eye was already complicated enough.

She looked sideways at Bo Ling again - Bo Ling stared straight ahead, with a peaceful expression on his face, and seemed to be thinking about something else.

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

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

As soon as the teeth came out, the cool summer night breeze blew, and both Bo Ling and Ai Songqing were relieved—it was so hot in the hall.

"Two," Guipao smiled and showed them the way, and even bowed slightly while speaking, "Go this way."

Ai Songqing was not used to it, but he forced a smile and said hello, but before he could take a step, Bo Ling suddenly changed his face, and ran a few steps towards the road in the opposite direction—and was immediately stopped by the turtle claw.

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

"Let me go over and have a look?" Bai Ling looked anxious, she frowned and looked at the intersection in the distance, "You can go there with me—"

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

"Miss Bai, don't make things difficult for us. We agreed to take you to the rest room for a while. You can't run around like this."

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

Bo Ling stood where he was, looking into the distance with some suspicion, and did not speak for a long time.

"...Miss Bo, did you see someone you know?" Turtle Claw asked tentatively.

Bai Ling shook his head silently.

"Then let's go, you are precious now, it's not good to just stand outside like this."

Ai Songqing leaned closer, and she was about to open her mouth to ask Bo Ling what was wrong, when she heard a barely perceptible sigh from Bo Ling.

Bo Ling withdrew his gaze from the brightly lit street corner, and replied in a low voice, "...OK."
