Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"100 taels." This number made Su Mu gasp, and he had to admit that Hu Shun's handwriting was really him.

Before traveling to the Ming Dynasty, Su Mu had no intuitive understanding of the value of silver.In his opinion, the young heroes in martial arts novels would throw out hundreds of taels of silver when eating in restaurants without any change, so they thought that a tael of silver was only one dollar.

Only when I got here did I realize that one tael of this thing is worth at least 1000 yuan.

A deputy of Jinyiwei Qianhu in Hushun District even offered himself a high salary of 10 yuan per month, which is the treatment of senior officials of listed companies in later generations.

In fact, this income is also the top among the staff of the Ming Dynasty.

When Su Mu read Er Yuehe's novel "Yongzheng the Great" before, there was such a record in it.Emperor Wu Shidao cannot be an official because of his disability.Yongzheng asked him to work as an aide to Tian Wenjing, governor of Henan, and set a salary of more than 1000 taels per year, in order to compensate this Conglong hero and let his ministers support him.

Tian Wenjing didn't know Wu Shidao's identity, and he was an upright official, so he couldn't bear to spend so much money every year, so he wrote a note to complain.

Considering that Governor Tian didn't have much money, and Henan was a relatively underdeveloped area, Yongzheng asked Mr. Wu to serve as an aide to Li Wei, Governor of Liangjiang.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were originally one, but in comparison, the economy was much behind.As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, only the governor of a province can afford a salary of 200 taels of silver.

Of course, the governor's staff is very lucrative. Apart from the salary of more than 1000 taels, it is possible to get 1 taels in a year.

Su Mu couldn't figure out why Hu Shun, a small deputy, should pay himself such a high salary.It can be seen that Jin Yiwei's gray income is definitely not small, and Lao Hu has made a few thousand households in Baoding for a few months, and he has also gained a lot of benefits.

The thousands of taels that Su Mu earned in Baoding before were copied by Dongchang because of the "Journey to the West" case. Now, the total net worth is less than 100 taels, and he is very poor.

Hearing what Hu Shun said, it was a lie for him to say that he was not tempted, and he immediately hesitated.

"That's right, that's 100 taels. Mr. Su, this is still a basic salary. It's four o'clock and three seasons. I have other ideas." Hu Shun looked at Su Mu eagerly.

After receiving the letter of appointment yesterday, he took out a large sum of money overnight and walked through a few doors. Well, it may not be impossible to go up a liter.Moreover, that generation was originally a business district in the capital, so as long as he was willing to use his brains, he would be able to eat a lot of food every year just by harvesting protection waste.

However, he also knew that he did not have the talent to exploit in the officialdom.Moreover, having established such a formidable enemy as the plateau, he will definitely face many dangers in the future, and urgently needs a think tank to give advice by his side.

However, as a small military officer, he naturally couldn't invite any great talents.After thinking about it, he only knew such a talent as Su Mu. He had paranoid confidence in his wisdom, so he did not hesitate to wipe off his face and refused to ask to come to Su Mu's door, and regardless of his seniority, he shouted "Mr. Su" one after another. Be affectionate.

It has to be said that Hu Shun has completely succumbed to himself at this moment, and Su Mu's resentment towards him has completely disappeared.

Money touches people's hearts, and Su Mu is also a little moved.

What's more, Hu Jinxue next to him also looked at him expectantly.

But after thinking about it, there are still twenty days until the rural examination, and I really can't get away.Moreover, this Hu Shun didn't know if he didn't have accumulated character and could encounter any troublesome things. He was not sure what troublesome things would come to his door in the future. If he got his money, he would have to share the worries of others. too annoying.

It's better not to deal with him, this person can't be trusted!

"Hu Qianhu, I'm sorry, I can't agree to this matter, you'd better go back!" Su Mu made up his mind, smiled lightly, and replied.

He also thought about it, Hu Shun came to the door early in the morning, and it seemed that he was determined to ask himself to help.If he refuses like this, he will definitely pester him endlessly.At worst, wait for Xiaodie to come back, and let that hot-tempered girl pick up a big broom to drive people away.

But he didn't want to, but Hu Shun seemed to have expected that Su Mu would reject him.He was not angry, but smiled and cupped his hands at Su Mu: "Whether this matter is big or small, I am willing to pay attention to your feelings, and Hu Shun is not easy to force. In this way, I will leave first, Mr. Su, you first Think about it for a few days."

"This...you don't need to think about it?" Su Mu was a little surprised.

"Don't think about it, don't think about it." Hu Shun rarely talked nonsense, turned around and walked outside.

Su Mu: "Wait, take the silver away!"

Hu Shun and the two walked very fast, and there was no one in sight in a blink of an eye. His voice came from a distance: "A little gift is nothing, even if you don't agree, Mr. Su, please accept it."

Su Mu hurriedly picked up his bag and chased him out, but he couldn't find anyone.

He shook his head helplessly, and didn't chase after them. Anyway, he knew where they lived, and he just went there when the time came.If you can run to a monk, you can't run to a temple. If you really can't, just find the Baihusuo where he is.

After a while, Xiaodie came back, and when Su Mu talked about it, she repeatedly said yes.He also said, there is no good person in the Hu family, they are very cunning, it is best not to confess, the money should be returned, who cares about their stinky money.Not to mention that the young master is about to win the imperial examination, when the time comes, some people will rush to the door to give away the house and the land.As far as my young master is capable, it is not easy to make money.

"Give me a house and land, but I have to stay in my hometown. Others are greedy for my fame, but I am exempted from all corvee and taxes, so I will come to the vassal. This is the capital, who knows me, Su Mu!" Su Mu said, looking back Glancing at Beiwu, this old Wu Juren is a ready-made example.

Lao Juren and Su Mu have a teacher-student relationship, so it is not easy to slander them.

As for what Xiao De said, with his own ability, it will not be easy to make money in the future, Su Mu deeply agrees.

After reading in the small courtyard for a whole day and finishing today's homework, Su Mu suddenly felt strange, why didn't this Zhu Shou come?

It would be better if you don't come, it's rare to have a quiet day.In the afternoon, after receiving the Four Treasures of the Study, Su Mu hired a sedan chair and rushed to the inn where Hu Shun lived, hoping to return the money.

When I got to the inn, I asked, and the clerk replied that Mr. Hu had already checked out, but he didn't know where to move.

The clerk already knew that the person in the inn was a Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu, his expression was full of fear, and he was timid when talking to Su Mu, Su Mu asked for a long time but couldn't find out why, so he had no choice but to go home.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only go to the Hundred Households Office in Tianshui Hutong. I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Zhu Shou still didn't come, and Su Mu felt even happier: This kid is finally tired of reading and writing here all day long.The sky is so clear and the air is so fresh without this brat messing around.

This time, he didn't wait until the afternoon, went out early in the morning, asked for directions, and went straight to Tianshui Alley.

This piece of sumac came here when he first entered the capital, and the yard of the Lin family bookstore is here.Although Tianshui Hutong has the word Hutong in its name, it is a street.According to the guy who drove the car, there was a spring here at the earliest time, which tasted sweet.Because of the convenience of life, the common people gather here, and for more than 100 years, it has formed a very prosperous business district.

Therefore, the Thousand Households here is one of the most critical jurisdictions of Jinyi Sanitation.

And next to Baihusuo in Tianshui Hutong, there are brothels and restaurants, and the people who come in and out are either high-ranking officials or rich merchants.

Hearing what the coachman said, Su Mu looked around, but saw angry horses in fresh clothes all over the street. They were either rich people covered in silk, or Confucian scholars in green shirts and square scarves. The prosperity was outrageous.

"This is the atmosphere of a first-class metropolis in the world, but I don't know what the scene of the hundred-household house in Tianshui Hutong is like? No wonder Hu Shun is willing to pay me 100 taels of silver a month. This place is originally a gold-selling cave. 100 taels Yinzi can only have a cup of tea with a high-ranking singer and listen to a song. In each brothel Chuguan, the protection fee paid by Yueguang filial piety to a hundred households is probably hundreds of taels. It’s hard not to get rich.”

Su Mu couldn't help feeling emotional, the driver was a talker, he had already inquired clearly after walking all the way just now.In fact, there are more than one hundred people in Tianshui Hutong Baihusuo. In addition to Baihu, there are two general banners, four small banners, and others such as wrestlers, adding up to 40 people, which is not a small scale.

I thought that the hundred households should be quite small, but when I got to the ground and looked up, it was an inconspicuous courtyard with a small door, located in a remote and not small alley.There was no one there, and a half-dead old soldier came to receive Su Mu, saying that Master Hu had gone out and was not here.

When Su Mu asked Hu Shun when he would come back, the old man was very rude, "Ghost knows when you will come back. If you want to send something, you should stay here."

With so much money, Su Mu naturally couldn't hand it over to others. After doing it for a while, he didn't drink two glasses of water, so he could only leave the area dispirited.

In the next few days, Su Mu went several times, but he still didn't see anyone. The old soldier became more and more rude to him, and asked where Hu Shun lived, but he didn't answer.

This made Su Mu a little annoyed, "This Hu Shun is obviously playing tricks!"

In this way, eight days passed, and the time came to August [-]st, and there were still nine days before entering the rural examination room.

Su Mu became more and more nervous, and he was not in the mood to look for Hu Shun again: "My time is precious, how can I spend time with you?"

Strange to say, after so many days, Zhu Shou still didn't come.

"It seems that he won't come. After all, he has a childish personality and has no stamina. If he heats up the meridian for a few days, he won't come when the freshness wears off."

It's strange to say that when the kid surnamed Zhu came to bother him every day, Su Mu wanted him to disappear immediately, but now he disappeared suddenly, after a few days of refreshment, he was not used to it, and always felt that he was not with this brat. The ears are noisy, but something is missing.
