Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 91

"Thank you Lord Chen for your help. Don't worry, Lord Chen. As long as you allow some time, Yanyu will definitely pay back the money!" Zhang Yanyu saluted Chen Ying.

Chen Yingdao: "How could you borrow Yu Zhengyang's money? Don't you know this is a bottomless pit?"

"Hey!" A sigh revealed Zhang Yanyu's deep helplessness. "My father borrowed the money, and the father's debt is repaid by the son. There is nothing wrong with Yu Zhengyang's doing."

"Is your father?"

"Returning to the Lord, my father was a direct lecturer in Simen Primary School before, and now he is a doctor of calligraphy in Guozixue."

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't seem to understand, Zhang Yanyu explained to Chen Ying.This four-door school is not a primary school in the sense of later generations, but one of the three schools that were officially written in the Guozijian together with Guozi and Taixue. The royal school for the children of the royal family.To put it bluntly, it is a professor who teaches the children of the royal family.Moreover, Zhang Wencong's rank is not low, and he belongs to the sixth-rank Beijing official.

"It turns out that brother Zhang is still an official!"

"After being an official, it's not because of poverty."

"Brother Zhang's house had a major accident?"

Zhang Yanyu shook his head.

Chen Ying was very surprised. Although the salaries of officials in the Tang Dynasty could not be compared with those in the Song Dynasty, they were still very impressive in ancient times.Based on Chen Ying's current official position, he is a fifth-rank official, and can receive a salary of 180 shi, which is about 60 yuan. About RMB [-].

Of course, Zhang Wencong, who is a sixth-rank official, has a lower income, but his annual salary is about 33 yuan.With this kind of income, although I dare not say that I am rich and rich, at least I can say that I have no worries about food and clothing.

After Zhang Yanyu's explanation, Chen Ying finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that in September of the first year of Wude, Zhang Wenzong wrote a poem "The name is good, the genre is the primate. The map is four duds, and the astronomy is five. The square flows and the jade is smooth, and the circle moves the pearl. The unique Mengyuan Official, play in Haoliang in Qiyan." I don't know why this song actually reached Li Yuan's ears,
Li Yuan liked this poem very much, and at that time rewarded Zhang Wencong with the best rice paper and Hui ink.Here comes trouble. Zhang Wencong is a very pure person. He likes to write, and he can't put it down.Every day, no matter it is windy or rainy, at least one knife must be written.

It turned out that he used jute paper and pine ink to write, but the Zhang family could barely afford it.But ever since he used the Xuan paper and Hui ink rewarded by Li Yuan, Zhang Wencong became obsessed with Xuan paper and Hui ink all at once.

In the beginning, Zhang Yanyu's mother just squeezed some money between her teeth to buy paper and ink for Zhang Wencong in order to meet Zhang Wencong's needs, but now a knife of rice paper costs [-] yuan, and Zhang Wencong will use it up in a day.The originally impoverished Zhang family was wiped out by Zhang Wencong in just one month.

In desperation, Zhang Yanyu's mother sold the dowry that should be sold, but still could not fill the hole left by Zhang Wencong, but Wen Cong would lose his temper if there was no rice paper in the family. Yu Zhengyang borrowed money.

However, loan sharks are fine if you don't touch them, but if you encounter them, your family will be ruined.Where does Zhang Yanyu have the money to return it to Yu Zhengyang, as long as he hides.

Hearing what Zhang Yanyu said, Chen Ying was speechless.He thought that Zhang Yanyu was either because someone in the family was sick or because of bad gambling, but he never thought that Zhang Yanyu borrowed usury to buy rice paper for his father.

However, according to Zhang Wencong’s way of playing, ordinary people really can’t afford it, not to mention that he is only a sixth-rank official, even if he is promoted to third-rank in the future, his annual income will be equivalent to one million, but the prices in the Tang Dynasty were very low, and the value of copper coins was very high. .Converted from the usual money, it is almost equivalent to 5000 yuan, even if it is the third rank of the official residence, it is only equivalent to more than [-] guan, which is not enough to spend half a year.

Chen Ying had no choice but to look at Zhang Yanyu with sympathy.

Chen Ying was short of people, so he wanted to win Zhang Yanyu into the curtain, but the price of winning Zhang Yanyu was too high, not to mention that he is only a fifth-rank official now, even if he builds a government in the future, he will not be able to use someone like Zhang Yanyu.

Unless, the price of rice paper can be lowered.But now I can only think about it, and Chen Ying doesn't have the energy.

Chen Ying found that there were a few people sneaking around in front of his house, not like good people.Liang Zan saw that Chen Ying was paying attention, so he explained: "This should be the eye of some family, do you want to catch him and ask?"

Chen Ying shook his head, more things are worse than less things.What's more, after Wei Zheng made a fuss, the whole of Chang'an became more and more Jiaxin himself was Li Xiuning's photo, and no one who was not open-eyed wanted to find his own bad luck.As for Chai Shao, Chen Ying was a little dissatisfied.

Since you fucking wronged me, I might as well give you some eye drops.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Ying didn't have feelings for Li Xiuning, but Chen Ying was conceited that he didn't have Wei Qing's ability, and he wanted to win a beautiful woman back, unless he could become someone like Wei Qing, who would require the emperor to spend all his efforts to win him over.The action to support Li Jiancheng in Lingzhou will not be too slow.Therefore, there would not be much time left for Chen Ying, so after much deliberation, Chen Ying felt that he should visit Li Xiuning before leaving.

Naturally, he couldn't go empty-handed when he visited Li Xiuning.However, he had already read the list of gifts in Chen Ying's mansion at this time, and there was nothing worth selling at all.In fact, although the Chen family is an upstart in Chang'an, it is still too far away for this upstart to control the court.Almost all those who came here to curry favor with Chen Ying were low-level officials...

Chen Ying walked to the door and watched a thin-faced young man who had done a few patches on his clothes but was washed cleanly came over. The weather was cold at this time, and he and this young man were shivering in the cold wind, "We don't have anyone to go here. To buy things in Dongshi, how much do you want if you help us walk around?"

"See what you buy?"

"Are you literate?"

"Know how many."

"Then wait a moment," Chen Ying entered the room and wrote a list and handed it to him, "Look, buy all these things and send them over, and let the shopkeeper come to the house to collect money, how much extra money do you want to charge?"

"There are not many things, but they are very expensive! Sir, if you don't have time to buy them, you can run errands and let their store deliver the goods for you to choose from!"

Chen Yingyi thought that this method was the best, sitting at home and waiting for customers to deliver the goods to their door, wouldn't this be equivalent to the Meituan takeaway in later generations?

When the lights were on at night, four or five merchants came to the door with goods. Chen Ying chose a good Hetian mutton fat jade bracelet. The mutton fat jade was slowly hyped during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There was no Hetian mutton fat jade bracelet in the Tang Dynasty. The price of jade is not expensive, and the piece Chen Ying chose was pure white, with a warm color and an excellent hand feel.

Moreover, the carvings are extremely delicate, such a piece of suet jade can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but in this era, it is only two pennies, and after conversion, it is less than one-tenth of that of later generations.And this one is definitely a first-class product of pure nature.
