The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 109 Two Dogs Bonus
Han Cunbao smiled wryly and said, "I have no money! But after I take office, if I get some salary, I will return it double!"

Ergou laughed and said: "Brother Cunbao, that's wrong! Of course I know you have no money. After all, the wealth of the Han family is not equal to the wealth of your Han Cunbao. Han Zhi, Han Huan and other Han family children can spend a lot of money at will. But you can only go to Hezhou and work hard for a little salary!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to provoke the relationship between you and the Han family.In fact, if there is no Han family, let alone become an official, I am afraid that you will only be struggling in the mud like a wilderness in the rivers and lakes begging for your life! "

When Han Cunbao heard Ergou's words, his expression suddenly changed. He just stared at him and said, "What do you mean, brother Gou'er, by saying this? Do you think I'm here to beg?"

Ergou shook his head and said, "Brother Cunbao, from a family like yours, if you are an official, you are afraid that you will be contaminated with the word greedy, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape this temptation. Eat empty wages, drink soldiers' blood, and spend money greedily."

Han Cunbao was a little anxious, his face was pale and uncertain, he just shouted: "You bastard, how can you underestimate me! I, Han Cunbao, are absolutely not such filthy things!"

Ergou said: "It's not up to you whether it's right or not, it just depends on how you do it! Brother Cunbao, since you have taken office, I don't have much to say to you, but I will give you the salt and essence you need for free." A stone for you! I will also give you a thousand taels of gold for your use in your appointment!"

ah?Han Cunbao only felt that ghost voices appeared in his ears, and he asked out of breath, "What are you talking about? How can you be willing to give away such a treasure for nothing?! Are you playing tricks on me?"

Ergou said with a smile: "A true man has made a promise, and it is hard to follow him! Brother Cunbao should know my nature. How can I give up or not give up a small amount of wealth! I will not use this to tease you!"

Han Cunbao's heart was agitated, but he said: "I don't believe that Brother Ergou is joking like this! This must be a joke!"

Ergou grabbed Han Cunbao's arm and said with an eye-catching smile: "Brother Cunbao, how can you not believe it? Let's go! I will deal with you right now, and let you see my courage! Don't let me underestimate you!"

After saying that, the two of them came to the backyard of the inn half-delayed and half-delayed. At this time, there were already many people in the yard packing up their belongings. When he saw Ergou, they all bowed and bowed and said, "I've seen the little official!"

The diligent one asked with a smile as bright as a flower: "I have to take care of the carriages and horses. Do I need help from the villain?"

Ergou smiled to himself and refused: "You should be busy while you wait! I am entertaining friends to talk, but I have less time to talk to you!"

The others didn't insist, they just took the belongings from each family and left one after another.

Er Gou led Han Cunbao to his carriage, but lifted the felt mat covering it, revealing the straw bedding underneath, several linen bags, and bulging leather pouches.

Ergou picked up two linen bags and handed them to Han Cunbao, saying: "This is a piece of stone salt essence, 120 kilograms in total. Each bag weighs more than sixty kilograms. You should take it first!"

Han Cunbao asked in surprise: "Is this...is this too much? This is two pounds of salt!"

Here is a little knowledge. In the Song Dynasty, thirty kilograms was a jun, and four jins were a stone (dan). However, when it was placed on table salt, the rulers and salt merchants specified the number of salt at sixty kilograms in order to gain more wealth. For one stone.

This was during the Suzong period of the Tang Dynasty. The famous minister Wu Qi formulated the Salt Law and formulated a balancing mechanism between salt prices and grain prices. However, in order to circumvent the restrictions, some people later deliberately halved the actual weight of a stone of salt, while the total price was Don't change it and make profit from it.

This bad habit was followed by the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, and it was not until Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, that it returned to normal (Kaizhong method).

So Ergou gave Han Cunbao this 120 catties of refined salt, which is equivalent to two stones of salt on the official side, but the official method is to pay attention to the common people, but Ergou himself will not fool his friends like this, saying that one stone is 120 catties , How can I discount it.

Er Gou didn't talk much to Han Cunbao, so he just picked up a cloth bag, and then took out the gold locks from the leather bag. Don't look at the gold locks, which are small in size, but not light in weight, each weighing 30 taels.

In this way, Ergou picked up more than 30 pieces and put them in cloth pockets. It looked small, but in fact it was quite a hand drop. He only lifted the cloth pocket, and the golden handle broke the bottom of the bag, directly smashing the golden handle. The seeds were scattered all over the ground.

Han Cunbao stared at the cute little twinks all over the floor, but he was rather fascinated.

He held a bag of refined salt in each hand, looked at Ergou foolishly, and couldn't help asking: "Brother...brother, are these all for me?"

Ergou threw away the bag with the leaky bottom and said angrily: "I won't do anything with it if I don't give it to you! What a bastard! This bag is too weak! Let's find a sturdy utensil to hold it." These gold bars!"

Han Cunbao immediately calmed down. He looked around quickly, then put down the refined salt, took off his brocade robe, laid it on the ground, and said, "It's such a treasure, but you can't let others see it! Let me use it first." I’ve packed my robes, and it’s not too late to find some sturdy leather bags later.”

So the two men stuck their buttocks out and picked up the gold coins on the ground one by one. They wrapped them in Han Cunbao's brocade robe and tied them into a bundle. The total amount was about sixty kilograms (equivalent to more than 80 kilograms in modern times, and 16 taels per kilogram in the Song Dynasty). , approximately 640 grams, this is the default value from now on, and will be specified in special circumstances).

After Han Cunbao got these treasures, he had no intention of staying with Ergou for a long time. He only clasped his fists in emotion and said: "Han Cunbao only knows how generous and heroic Brother Ergou is! In the future, if you have someone to send you, I will live and die to repay you." Of!"

Han Cunbao said that he only learned about Ergou's generosity today, but it was at Wulongpo that day that he and Ergou had a gambling fight. Although they made an agreement to dispose of the property left by Kong Ran, they never saw the real money. , so the feeling is not deep.

And later Ergou repented, and Han Huan chased and killed Han Cunbao that day, and took more than a dozen good horses from Ergou, but did not return them, so that the Han family thought Ergou was greedy and despicable.

This time, the two dogs made a move and gave each other a gift, knocking Han Cunbao unconscious.

Some people may say that ten thousand dollars is nothing. Isn't Han Cun Baoshu and Ergou's wind-whispering beast also worth ten thousand dollars?

In fact, it can't be said this way. It is said that the hissing beast is worth a lot, but in fact the price is false. Just like the famous dogs and cars of later generations, some people cherish it very much, while others only regard it as a plaything.

When Han Cunbao suffered a disaster in the future in another dimension, Tuochaogu transferred his inheritance to his wife and children. The total amount was only a few hundred taels of silver, and the total value was only one or two thousand taels.

Ergou said with a smile, "it's true that life and death are rewarded. I only hope that after you take office, brother Cunbao, you can uphold integrity and don't be greedy for other things. You should know that I will give you property only for friendship. Others will give you property. It’s something else, you should think carefully about it!”

Han Cunbao sighed and said: "Your admonition, Cunbao must keep it in mind, and never forget it!"

After saying this, the two said goodbye.

Han Cunbao tied the gold package with a belt and hung it on his chest. He held a bag of salt essence in each hand and walked out of the hospital with heavy strides.
