Taiping Order

Chapter 487 The King of Qin in the eyes of money (please give me monthly votes)

"A common man, a common man!"

"Shameless martial artist, vulgar, vulgar!"

"Etiquette collapses and music is broken, and ritual collapses and music is broken. Since ancient times, even a tyrannical king has never asked for money from all gentlemen, King Qin, you, you."

"Did you fall into the money eye?!"

The noisy sound woke Nan Hanwen up. The Master was busy until the evening yesterday. Under the power of the Mohist mechanism and the warriors, the Qilin Academy that was being built has been advancing very quickly, and some of it has been put into use.

The Qin King's beloved general, General Fan Qing, treated the wooden as a trial for the new recruits.

Those warriors were stronger than those of the cow, which directly increased the speed of the construction of the new school by one level. However, this made Nan Hanwen suffer. He was busy until evening every day, and raised his head in a daze early this morning. The expressions above were a little painful.

"Ah? What's wrong?!"

"Huh? Grandpa is not sleeping?"

His grandson said, “There’s a quarrel outside.”

"Another arguing? What's the argument?"

Nan Hanwen walked out in his clothes and looked there. Seeing that many gentle and kind masters had their faces flushed, and their hands were trembling with anger. His grandson replied, "I heard that it was for the king's ceremony and the king's ceremony. The above said he wanted a thousand gold."

"A daughter?"

Nan Hanwen was shocked and felt that the number was very subtle.

One thousand gold is theoretically equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

However, in terms of the exchange rate of gold for silver, a thousand gold can basically be exchanged for 12,000 to 13,000 taels of silver.

It is equivalent to the 13,000 months that the king was in Huichun Hall when he was young.

I have money for this life.

I don't know which master gave it. This weight is something that these famous scholars can take out, but they will hurt. But although it hurts, in order to rub against the King of Qin and the Guanle, it is enough to make your name famous in the future. , but they will also grit their teeth and pay.

Nan Wenjie said, "Grandpa, have you no longer sleep?"

Nan Hanwen was quite tired before, but now she was full of energy and said, "Who can sleep if you have a good fun?"

Nan Hanwen was often despised by these so-called great scholars and famous scholars. Now he saw these guys blushing with their faces, and his sleeves were waving like the feathers of a big rooster. He raised his tone because of his shock and anger. He spoke, "I can't say that." Get out of the ground with great pleasure.

sleep?

Ha, what are you sleeping! Sleep fart!

Watch fun.

Although he is a serious and sad old scholar who longs for peace in the world, he also has a natural interest in fun, especially looking at these people who are honest on the surface, but in fact he can easily bring out the fun of famous scholars who have accumulated throughout their lives in the city.

Nan Hanwen asked his grandson to take a handful of fennel beans and put them on the windowsill, warming a pot of yellow wine, leaning against the wind, it is rare to have some leisure days. Seeing these people jumping their feet and stuffing a handful of beans. Go into your mouth and take a sip of wine.

Laughing, but there is a lot of bitterness in the laughter.

Ridiculous, ridiculous, absurd.

Such a world.

Just use fine wine to lower your stomach.

In fact, what Nan Hanwen didn't know was that His Highness, a talented and majestic King of Qin, had originally planned to take out a thousand gold first, and then put out one in a while, and the first hundred were only ninety-nine to eight.

The top ten only requires eight or eight.

He was forced to stop by Fangzi Qiao.

"It's not too cold to ask for money, so it's too cold to be cold, junior brother."

The gentle and jade-like internal affairs master moved out directly from Master Wang Tong and said, "Since you want it, just force it."

The King of Qin said, "Forcibly?"

Fang Qiao Wenhe said, "Yes, the lord sets the rules, and many famous scholars will adapt to it. The lord is under the teacher's school and practices for a relatively short time. Let me give you a temporary replies to the teacher to help you understand the Confucian saint's method. ”

"Don't follow the rules, do whatever I want, raise troops to attack, this is domineering."

"It is reasonable to set rules, and the world abides by them is the kingly way."

"If you do not obey the king's order, it is a ritual to raise troops to attack."

"Although the attack is not hurt by innocent people, it is Ren."

"Chop the thief's head into meat paste, steam it into a pot and share it with people all over the world to eat it. This is a ritual in the army, and it is also a righteousness for the ancient kings to do it."

"How can the orders of the dignified king change every day?"

Li Guanyi pondered: "For famous scholars, I can be ruthless, but I can't lower my requirements. Being ruthless is just a ridiculous king. Frequently lowering my requirements will damage the power of the king?"

House Qiao said, "Yes."

Li Guanyi said, "One thousand gold, won't change?"

Fang Ziqiao said, "It cannot be changed. If it is changed, it will damage the power of the king."

Li Guanyi said, "Will they give it?"

Fangzi Qiao said, "I still give it to you on my knees."

Li Guanyi said, "I asked them to ask for a thousand gold, more than ten thousand taels of silver per head. They still have to kneel down and thank them, and then give me the money."

House Qiao said, "This is the saint's admonition."

Li Guanyi finally realized it suddenly and said, "So that's it. The saint's principles are so open and calm, strong and powerful." The two looked at each other, and Li Guanyi couldn't help laughing, picked up the chess piece next to him, and landed it casually. Zi, smiled and said:

"Anyway, I'll have to do everything."

"I accept the order."

Fang Ziqiao smiled, and as he watched King Qin finally gave up that thought, he felt relieved. If His Highness of the King of Qin really did such a thing, it would be a detriment to the king's power.

Just as I was thinking about it, I was going to call Li Guanyi to continue playing chess.

My eyes swept across the chessboard, but I found that my own way of chess game was gone.

The King of Qin had already surpassed him while chatting idlely.

Fang Ziqiao looked at the chessboard for a long time and couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't know who raised the King of Qin. Although he didn't understand the principles of the saints, his skills, such as chess, calligraphy and painting, are all wonderful.

"Take it seriously, a wonderful man."

At the beginning, the famous scholars, led by Qu Hanxiu, were extremely indignant and strongly condemned them, and kept writing wonderful articles to criticize the Qin King for the collapse of rituals and music.

The reaction of the King of Qin was that there was no response.

His Highness the King of Qin was very busy and had no time to pay attention to it.

This indifference made many famous scholars even more angry, but at the same time there was a small sigh of relief, because although they were angry on the surface, they were still holding on in fact, worried that they would say too much. His Highness, King Qin, the King of Qin, was over-the-top. Follow them.

I plan to run if something is wrong.

Seeing that the King of Qin didn't seem to care, he became more and more excited.

Writing a wonderful article, gathering many cliques, and creating a huge formation. These things have finally been passed on to Ji Zichang, the Chi Emperor in Zhongzhou. Ji Zichang was shocked when he heard this. Now his one and a half years old shouted in a whisper. father.

Ji Zichang looked at his baby daughter, but for some reason, he always felt that the reason why this good brother was ready to get a gift of money was probably stimulated by his daughter's million taels of silver.

Then, follow the trend, learn from one example and come up with one example.

It's worthy of being you.

Ji Zichang had already grown his beard and looked much more calm. He smiled freely and said, "The King of Qin really loves money."

"But it's right."

Then he gave three thousand golds as gifts for himself, Concubine Wen, and the little princess.

Those famous scholars and great scholars were choked up for a moment.

Even His Majesty Chi Emperor Ji Zichang has paid money, but you still don’t.

What does it mean?

Are you looking down on His Highness the King of Qin, or are you refuting the Red Emperor Ji Zichang?

The two brothers were hard and soft, with knives in front and back, but they kept the adults in the middle, neither moving forward nor retreating, and finally they paid the money honestly.

The so-called upward and downward effects are just like that.

It is not to agree with the king's preferences.

But even Your Majesty is like this, but you don’t. Do you have any opinions on Your Majesty?

The words of the people are all in the world, and the Confucian scholars follow the crowd, all of whom are friends.

This really gives them an indescribable sense of security than this wealth.

More than a hundred people paid the money, and they had already received more than 100,000 gold, and exchanged for more than one million taels of silver. However, after paying the money, Qu Hanxiu went in with confidence and looked around and found that the ordinary people were there.

So the great scholar was furious and found the people in Tiance Mansion, angrily scolded:

"Everyone says that it takes a thousand gold to enter. Why can such a mud-legged man come in?"

He was pulled by a man with a gentle expression and a simple face. He was about thirty years old. After listening to Qu Hanxiu's inquiry carefully, he said, "Do you think that great scholars are different from ordinary people?"

Qu Hanxiu said, "Of course."

"We have studied hard since childhood and entered the master's sect. At this point, we all conform to the teachings of the saints. We serve the country and the people, and we pay a fortune. If we enter, we will naturally be different from these people."

The gentle scribe applauded: "Really, indeed."

Qu Hanxiu also said, "Everyone said, "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the best, but we study hard all our lives to show the sages and the reputation is fascinating all directions, and the articles can be circulated in later generations. How can these ordinary people compare to them. of?"

The scribe praised and tugged his hands, and could be said to have a great agreement and said, "Ah yes yes!"

"What you said is really right!"

"The late student deeply agrees."

Then he changed his subject and said, "That's why you are rewarded with a thousand gold."

Qu Han was practicing for a while, and the scholar smiled sincerely and said, "If you don't hand over this money and don't pay a thousand gold, how can you show your great scholars and your hardships all your life? If you don't pay this money, how can you show your famous scholars and your mud legs? What's the difference? ”

"It's like a delicacy abalone, it's going to be a high price."

"Right?"

This man's words were sharp, and Qu Hanxiu couldn't say anything for a moment. He talked about a stick of incense, but he was not as good as that. Later he realized that he was Wen He from the Academy.

Everyone in the world praised the saying, Wen He was quick-witted and famous scholars of the world.

It is different from the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions.

There are also unofficial historical rumors that if Wen He is the right way, he will be quick-witted and learned from Wen Qingyu; if he is a plan, he will be a poisonous soldier in the Western Regions, Yan Daiqing.

Since ancient times, famous scholars have only laughed at this article and did not believe it.

How could Wen Qingyu, who was quick-witted and gentle, beggar, burned a city and planned to plan for the Western Regions?

After collecting all these silver, there are some other gains. Some famous scholars and great scholars who were in foreign countries also sent some greetings. After Yan Daiqing sorted it out, this gentle gentleman was silent for a long time, and there was a feeling on his face that was indescribable, sadness, indignation, and powerlessness. Rejoice, both.

His Highness, the King of Qin, was puzzled and asked, "Dai Qing, what's wrong?"

"Didn't the gold and silver you collected have not enough?"

Yan Daiqing said, "It's not that it's not enough."

"Master, guess how much gold, silver and gold have we received?"

Li Guanyi said: "There should be 180,000 gold. In terms of conversion, it should be 1.8 million taels of silver."

His Highness Qin, who was struggling on the battlefield, had a very striking plan. Although this amount of money was not qualified to affect the changes in the world, it could also alleviate the urgent needs and make up for many shortcomings.

Yan Daiqing took a deep breath and said, "I'm wrong."

"Wrong?"

"Um."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Yan Daiqing said, "It's 18.3 million taels of silver."

His Highness Qin had just held the fruit in front of Yan Daiqing and stuffed it into his mouth. He heard this and his expression stagnated and bit the fruit into pieces. He swallowed it in two mouthfuls, leaned forward, pressed the table with both hands, and his voice increased, saying, " How many?!"

Yan Daiqing said: "In addition, there are many jade artifacts, gold and silver."

"It seems that I know that the lord often casts cauldrons, and there are many famous ritual vessels from ancient times. The chimes were sent. The overall value was exchanged for gold and silver, and it was probably close to 30 million taels of silver..."

Li Guanyi whispered: "Thirty million taels..."

"It can support 30 million households for a month of gold and silver."

"You're just these two simple sentences, can you get it?"

When he was young, he had to get up early and go to bed late in the morning and tried his best to get one tael of silver. But now he has easily obtained so much, but he just felt absurd in his heart, sighed and said, "Why are there so many people? Give me a post to you .”

Yan Daiqing went to pick up the greetings and saw a gift from famous scholars from other places. Even in the State of Chen, there were a lot of gold sent in the State of Ying. Even if they were not here, they would at least have to get a good relationship.

But Li Guanyi saw a name.

First, it is an ancient fu, written in a simple and vigorous manner, and boasts the King of Qin to a level that is rare in the sky and unprecedented on the earth. Then it means that although he is in another country, he is really regretful about the affairs of Taiping Gong. .

I wanted to help back then, but unfortunately, he was demoted to another place for his reputation and could not help him. He felt regretful. Even today, he often thought of this ancient gentleman and famous general, and often sighed.

Fortunately, Duke Taiping and King Qin were even more than his father. As a friend, I felt a little relieved.

I know that Li Guanyi now has a plan to pacify the world.

Although he is in the enemy country, he also longs for help.

The signature is—

Feng Yuning, the right prime minister of Chen State.

Giving silver, five million taels.

Li Guan looked at the name and said to himself: "Feng Yuning..."

He sighed and said to Yan Daiqing: "In the chaotic world, these words seem to be true and false, both true and false, and are difficult to distinguish. If it weren't for Mr. Nan Hanwen, I might have been fooled by such words. .”

"Five million taels of silver are really a big deal!"

The King of Qin slapped the letter on the table and pulled it on the forehead: "He takes our money!"

"Come and fool us?!"

"No, does he really think we are easy to cheat when we are young?"

Take my money to bribe me, and in the end I have to bear your affection?

This is a famous scholar, this is the so-called great scholar.

His Highness the King of Qin almost burst into laughter.

Damn it.

Lonely money!

When Li Guan saw this poem, he praised, "What a literary talent!"

Then, with a trembling shimmer, a wisp of unicorn fire rose from the end of the letter, almost instantly burning the poem full of kindness and the meaning of fame, turning into ashes.

Li Guanyi said, "Right Prime Minister Feng Yuning, tell Mr. Wen Qingyu this name."

"Focus on it."

Yan Daiqing said, "Yes."

Li Guan looked at the prayer one by one, but finally found that, like Qu Hanxiu, who lived in his own world, only a thousand taels of gold to pray for gifts was the cleanest.

There are many different countries, including Chen State, Ying State, civil officials, military officers, and aristocratic families.

They were all expressing their kindness to Li Guanyi, and they all expressed their respect for the King of Qin. They seemed to be saying that if the King of Qin wins, they would be willing to help the King of Qin. They knew that His Majesty was short of gold and silver and a small gift of gold at this moment. Not respectful.

In the chaotic times, the family and the country fell apart.

Everyone has their own choices, their own desires and greed, which is fully demonstrated in this simple letter and prayer post.

Li Guanyi couldn't help but sigh: "This world is like a hole that has been eaten by a worm."

Yan Daiqing said: "The lord, Feng Yuning and others sent gifts to give gifts are mostly their own confidants and people from the family. Among them, Feng Yuning was the daughter of the same brother who was adopted by Feng Yuning, and General Zhenwei's nephew and others were also Here comes."

Li Guan raised his eyebrows: "Aristocratic family?"

Yan Daiqing said, "Yes."

Li Guanyi said: "I have known for a long time that although members of the great family are officials in a certain country and dynasty, they will not really trap themselves in this country, but have bets from multiple sources. They have seen each other today. ”

Yan Daiqing said, "Lord, how should we deal with them?"

"Are you going to persuade me to go back or..."

Li Guanyi said lightly: "No need. If you persuade me to return immediately, it will inevitably make those who plan to bet panic. Keep them calm. Although we will have to settle the meat later, we still have to eat this meat at this moment."

"As for those people from the aristocratic families who were sent."

Li Guan thought for a while and said, "No need to arrange it to me."

Yan Daiqing said, "Oh, are you going to give it to Wen Qingyu?"

Li Guan grinned: "I'm not guilty."

"Young people, you have not been completely polluted by the remaining poisons of the aristocratic family. Let them go to General Fan Qing. I believe that the flames of the young people have not been completely extinguished. General Fan Qing may be able to awaken their hearts."

The Tiance Mansion reorganized outsiders, the first level passed Yan Daiqing first, and the second level passed Fan Qing. If these people were not allowed to pass, the last round should be sent to Mr. Wen Qingyu.

Yan Daiqing said, "Yes."

Li Guanyi said, "As for these gold and silver, haha..." He stood up, looked outside, and said, "The daily meal indicators of children under thirteen years old increase by 10 cents, and the tax revenue will be kept basic, so don't increase."

"It's winter, do basic dietary supplies."

"Well, cattle, goat milk, eggs, etc. are all configured according to households and people."

The King of Qin picked up the post representing tens of millions of taels of silver and scattered it casually. The greetings were scattered like snow in winter, with their sleeves rolled up. The young king said, "Take it from the people and use it for the people."

"They took it from the people, and we will pay it back on their behalf."

"These famous scholars and scholars are considered to be between the world and there is nothing else to ask for."

Yan Daiqing's expression was gentle and he said:

"yes."

Those prayers were scattered like falling snow. Part of the tens of millions of taels of silver was used as military expenses, part of which became a spare storage of gold and silver, and the other part improved people's livelihood and education. Mr. Yan Daiqing did not immediately use gold and silver as a subsidy.

Instead, this gold and silver were used as flowing water, which stimulated the commercial circulation under the territory of the Qin King. Caravans were hired to transport beef, mutton, jerky, wool and other items from the northwest to the south, and then to the south to ship books, vegetables and other things. Go to the north.

While stimulating the entire business, improve the living standards of the people.

And not just giving them money.

The New Year has passed, and the contradictions in Xiyi City are temporarily in a state of vague calmness. However, although it is quiet on the surface, the Chen and Ying countries are all accumulating troops in this area, and the country's tax revenue has once again increased.

The feeling of being calm under the surface, but as if a volcano is about to erupt is extremely clear, and there is a faint sense of uneasiness in the calm.

It was snowing again in the south of the Yangtze River. The officials from all over the place began to discuss how to hold the Qin King's ceremony a month or two ago. On this day, someone came hurried outside this place. The old man looked very simple, but he carried a big bag on his back.

His clothes were worn and his shoes were a little damaged. He was holding a dry cake with bright eyes. He ate the cake in a few bites. Looking at the place where the nobles came and went, he mustered up the courage to walk up. .

"Dare you ask, this guy?"

The old man spoke and spoke to a young man who was about twenty years old and wearing a simple dress looking up at the sky. The latter turned around and smiled, "Ah, old man, is there anything wrong?"

"Brother, is this the place where His Highness Qin King's ceremony is? "

The young man raised his eyebrows, looked at the old man, and said, "Yes, you are..."

The old man scratched his head and said a little timidly: "The little old man is more than 700 miles away from here and travels to Guo Village. The villagers heard that His Highness of Qin wanted to win the crown and raise money to let the little old man come and see us in the past few years. I'm having a good time, and I always feel like I'm going to come here to take a look."

He rubbed his big hands, looked at the plaque, looked at the people coming and going, and said, "What is this word?"

"I heard that it's a gift? We've collected it and don't know if it's enough."

The young man looked at the package the old man was wearing and said, "How many have you collected?"

The old man grinned, took off the package, picked it up, it was heavy, and it made a sound. When he opened it, it was covered with copper coins. The old man had a glory in his eyes and said:

"Each of our family has a little bit of it. We are local people. We get some copper coins when we get married. This is what we have done. Just come and have a look."

"I don't know if this place is probably different in the city. I don't know if it's enough..."

The old man heard the sneer from the high-ranking officials coming and going, as if he knew that he didn't give enough, his face turned red. He held the package in a little crampedly and stood on the street in the capital, a little unlucky. Know how to deal with yourself.

"No, if not enough, let's get together again and get together again."

"No, it's enough."

The young man looked at the package quietly and chuckled, "It's enough." He stretched out his hand, picked up a copper coin in the package, put it in his palm, with a copper coin that was round on the outside and square on the inside. The young man's five fingers Holding:

"I did receive your etiquette."

"What a great gift."

After the old man reacted, the young man was disbelief and showed a gentle and bright smile in his stunned gaze, and said seriously:

"Thank you."
