The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 714: Short of money again
In the past, this place did not attract much attention, because the conflicts between the seven major surnames did not come to this place, and it was more used as a transfer point for the balance of trade between each other.

But that is also a place where noble people gather and rich businessmen are everywhere. If you haven’t come to Dazhong Prefecture, you don’t know how small your eyes are. If you haven’t been to Zhongdu City, you can’t imagine how poor you are.

The settlement currency here, except for things like needles, threads and brains, can also be used for big money and silver judgments, and the rest are basically settled in gold baht.

Recall that when I first came to Zhongtu, Xiaochu complained that a bowl of jelly would cost seven dollars, but now it’s okay, a bowl of jelly costs seven dollars...

On the way from Huaiyu Mansion in Shangfeng County to Zhongdu, Li Dao met a "big man".

This "big man" is named Lu Changming, with a gray beard, looks over 50 years old, and has a majestic appearance, a master of the ninth rank!
Speaking of him, he used to be the great head of the Southwest governing state, but his faction was wiped out. Fortunately, he predicted in advance that he took most of the sect's property and brought the whole family to Dazhong Prefecture.

He didn't even think about taking revenge, and he was a little disheartened. He only planned to go to Zhongdu to live a stable life and die well, but he felt indifferent to the world.

His carriage was luxurious, and Li Dao's carriage was equally luxurious. Lu Changming thought that Li Dao was on the same level as him, so he chatted unavoidably.

"Well, I have worked hard for most of my life. Now I am ninety-five. When I was 40 years old, I was the eighth-rank 'Extended Life'. I added Jiazi's lifespan. I have witnessed the majesty of the sword master and heard the power of the magic knife."

"Speaking of it, the eldest aunt is still my junior, but so what? The vicissitudes of the world are nothing more than this, I also see it, hehehe..."

"Brother, you don't have to be so depressed. You are still young. We can be neighbors when we arrive in Zhongdu. Brother can tell you about my experience. If you want to resume the game in the future, brother can give you advice..."

Speaking like this, Li Daozi would not look down on this mere rank nine, but instead seriously chatted with this former master of the sect, and learned from his failure experience, which was quite inspiring.

He would never tell the other party that there are seven Ninth Ranks on his side, including himself.

On April [-]th, they were already not far from Zhongzhong, and they would arrive there in about three to five days. After breakfast, the group set off again.

Chatting with Lu Changming along the way was also quite pleasant. When we arrived at a post station at noon and were about to leave after lunch, Baby Yin came over and said:

"I'll take a step first, you and the old man can continue to babble, and when you arrive in Zhongduo in a few days, I'll have someone give you the golden ticket."

After the words fell, Baby Yin disappeared into the shadows, leaving only one sentence: "I come out to do business, honesty comes first..."

Li Dao didn't make things difficult for her, he put away the sword net, and let her leave with a smile.

After Yin Baobao left, Fang Shuyan may have seen the secret of Luoxue Xuezhulin (it must be, it was true), so she asked Li Dao to resign.

Li Dao had nothing to do, anyway, he was not afraid of Fang Shuyan's repudiation, because he had already written down Luoxuezhuzhulin's secret notes, codes and so on.

If Fang Shuyan dared not give the money, hum...

Zhou Lihua also left. After all, it was a noble family, even if it was a side branch, it was also a noble family. Li Dao just asked her to remember "the grace of saving life", and did not explicitly ask for a price.

This is treated differently, because the Zhou family is a noble family, and they are close to Qian Shizi's mansion, so there are many things that can be manipulated.

So it was like this, without knowing it, Li Dao was on the way to Zhongdu, only the three sisters of the Bai family were left with debts to him.

Jiang Wan was very dissatisfied with this, and complained: "What if Baby Yin and the others leave and don't pay back the money?"

Xiao Chu worried: "Yes, the consumption in Dazhong Prefecture is very expensive, and you have to pay for jelly to eat... By the way, Sister Wan, should you pay back the money you owe me?"

Zhu Dan said: "Miss Boss, I remember you borrowed a lot of money from me..."

Wan'er laughed dryly: "Hehe, haha... Our family, isn't yours mine? Why are you so clear..."

"No! The consumption in Dazhong Prefecture is too expensive. I don't even have enough money to buy snacks. Sister Wan, pay back the money!"

"Yeah, lady boss, even though I don't want wages, you've deducted too much, even my grocery money..."

"You... what are you talking about, don't talk nonsense, everyone has eaten and drank well these days, isn't it all due to me?"

As Jiang Wan said so, she glanced at Li Dao carelessly, and then said with a guilty conscience: "I didn't spend too much..."

"Ugh……"

Li Dao let out a long sigh and said, "That is to say, the one thousand gold I gave you recently has been spent?"

Jiang Wan: "Master..."

Li Dao: "And you still borrow money from Xiao Chu?"

Jiang Wan: "That was owed a long time ago..."

Xiao Chu: "It's been a long time and I haven't paid it back!"

Jiang Wan: "Shut up!"

Xiao Chu: "Oh..."

Li Dao asked again: "Where did the money I gave you go?"

Jiang Wan said aggrievedly: "Who made Dazhong Prefecture have too many good things, rouge powder, beautiful clothes, they are all really good, the Lun family couldn't hold back their impulsiveness... Woohoo, Mr., I'm sorry. "

Li Dao patted his forehead helplessly, and he knew that Jiang Wan couldn't keep money in his hands, and he could spend as much as he gave, and he didn't understand what a planned economy was.

From the current point of view, including Wang Sixian's two IOUs, his total assets are almost 1000 million gold baht, and he is a rich man, and Wan'er's spending is nothing at all.

But in this area of ​​Dazhong Prefecture, I heard that it costs nearly a million gold baht to buy a house that doesn’t count, and 1000 million is nothing.

The dividends of glass mirrors and various glassware will not be seen in a short time. After arriving in Zhongdu, the millions of gold on hand are really not enough to spend.

What's more, what I hold in my hand are all Mingtang gold tickets, and it is very disadvantageous to exchange them with the ticket number of Nangong's family. Inexplicably, it has shrunk by tens of thousands of gold baht, and I feel distressed when I think about it.

Two days ago, Li Dao asked the three sisters of the Bai family to estimate the price of the four luxury cars. According to them, if the carriage and the items on the car were sold together in Zhongdu City, the minimum price would be 400 million gold. There are still many people.

If you don't rush to use the money and sell them separately, at least you can sell them for about one million gold more. He can trust the vision of the three sisters of the Bai family, after all, they are a treasure shop.

Li Dao wanted to sell the four carriages and return the funds, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, this was a gift from Mingtang to him, so it was inappropriate to sell it.

Later, the second sister Hong asked, "By the way, where is the car given to you?" He said "sold it", so what do people think?Is this looking down on Ming Tang, or looking down on their sixth room?
