Chapter 23 Nanyang Taishou Shang
Jingping Village is located in the northwest direction of the suburbs of Wuyin City less than five miles of location, behind is a small hillside, on the left side is a small river, also regarded as a mountain and water, there are many caves behind the village, these caves have become the best location for Mushan to hide their treasures.
Zhang Gu took Mushan and Mujing a few people, turned around and came to a cave, there were ten yellow turban elite soldiers guarding the grass and woods outside the cave, and there were also four yellow turban elite soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the cave, and the good news was very strict.
They carried torches into the cave, and although the cave was dark, when they entered, they realized that the space inside was very spacious.
In this cave, there are three areas, which are stacked with grain, weapons, and wealth.
These grains, weapons, and treasures are all the trophies of Mushan's war.
Sacks of grain were piled up on the left side, in the middle were wooden boxes of money, and on the right side of the cave were weapons piled up, basically spears, swords, ordinary iron armor, and a few bows and arrows, as well as some bronze swords that looked good.
"Big boss, we didn't capture much during this war, basically some weapons and armor, and the damage was very serious, but the young master took that group of teenagers to destroy the Gu clan, and the Gu family's mansion was enough for us to have enough food and clothing, just food, it was enough for us to survive for three years!"
Zhang Gu said excitedly.
What they lacked most in the past was food, even if they went down the mountain to plunder, there were very few, they could only carry it for ten days and half a month, otherwise they would not be unable to go down the mountain to rob because of the winter weather, but there was a shortage of food on the mountain.
This time, it was definitely they who had snatched the most grain over the years, looking at these mountains of rice and chestnut rice, Zhang Gu, the mushroom mountain housekeeper who had to pull open two grains of rice for each grain of rice, smiled toothlessly.
"How much is it?" Makiyama walked up and opened a wooden box of gold and silver, these wooden boxes had a lot of volume, enough to hold fifteen wooden boxes, it can be seen that there are so many treasures in it, he took a deep breath, and asked.
The gold was cast into gold cakes, and each gold cake weighed about a pound, and there was not much silver, and it was all silver, not silver, and the last was copper coins, which lay in wooden boxes one by one, and there were countless of them.
"Report to the big boss, I have already liquidated, there are 6,800 gold here, some silver ornaments, and about 3.6 million yuan!" Zhang Gu said.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the copper standard was used, and the main circulating coins were five baht coins cast in copper, silver was not money, and gold was on it, gold has always been a symbol of money, whether it was prosperous or troubled, it was the currency in circulation, and the official price of a gold in the imperial court belonged to 10,000 yuan, but gold belonged to the hoarding of money, which was the hoarding of wealth, so there was little circulation.
6,800 gold, that is, 68 million yuan, plus 5 baht more than 3.6 million, more than 70 million, with the current price of your Eastern Han Dynasty, the housing price in the center of the county capital, a super mansion with nine in and nine out, is only about 500,000 to 1 million yuan, which is definitely a net worth of hundreds of millions in modern times.
And don't forget, today's era and modern wealth standards are different, in this era, the strength of a family is not money, but land, the money is measured by the merchant family, the most humble family, and the land is the local power.
This Gu clan sits on the fertile land of Wuyin and has countless farms, and it is not in vain to become the first scholar of Wuyin.
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!"
Mu Jing's eyes looked at these grains and treasures, smiled slightly bitterly, and spat out two satirical verses.
These treasures and grains were all moved out of the warehouses of the Gu family, and the warehouses of these wealthy nobles had a lot of grain to feed the mice, and the silver money was piled up with dust, but under the cold winter and the moon, they could only freeze to death and starve to death, and life was so unfair, in this era, the gap between the nobles and the poor was even more obvious.
"You kid, you can say such things, it's not bad, it seems that Qu Shuai taught you a lot of things back then!" When Makiyama heard this, his big rough hands once again messed up Mujing's hair.
Mu Jing slapped Mu Shan's big hand a little angrily, this dad is too bad taste, his hair has been messed up many times by him, you must know that this is ancient, the hair that is uptuned is messed up and wants to get it back, it's too troublesome.
"The big master, the young master is extraordinary, talented and intelligent, we have this victory in this battle, all the hard work and the young master strategize, the less master will become a big weapon in the future, and can take us to live a good life!" Zhang Gu looked at Mu Jing's eyes and became more and more satisfied, and said with a smile.
"Don't praise him too much!"
Mu Shan shook his head: "Although this kid is a little smart, he is still young, and he still has a lot to learn, otherwise he won't let Cai Tu play around!" ”
"Obviously I played him around!" Mu Jing was a little indignant and muttered.
In fact, he also knew that this seemed to be a win-win situation, or Cai Tu, the commander of Wuyin County, was superior in skills and took advantage of them.
Mu Shan ignored Mu Jing's resentment, he looked at these treasures and weapons, thought about it, and said: "Zhang Gu, since we already have money, we will find a way to purchase a batch of quilts and come back, the weather is too cold, we don't care, but the old people and children can't stand it, in addition, as long as these armor and weapons are good, they will be sent down, and our soldiers will be armed, this day seems to be peaceful, but Cai Tu is not credible, and I don't know how Zhang Zhi's reaction is, we still need to be cautious and keep fighting." ”
"No!"
"Dad, these five baht coins can be used, but I don't think we can use this batch of gold now!"
"Why?"
"For this gold will be of great use in the future!"
"Useful?"
"Dad, believe me, maybe this batch of gold can make a great contribution to our future changes!" Mu Shan's eyes sparkled and brightened, and he said confidently.
If his memory is not wrong, the current emperor, Emperor Han Ling, has the habit of buying and selling official positions and titles in order to collect money.
As long as there is a suitable opportunity, he has the opportunity to buy a birth for his father, you must know that this era is too particular about origin, if there is a title awarded by the court before the troubled times, then in the future troubled times will have an extra layer of protection.
"Okay!"
Mu Shan now trusts his son Mu Jing very much, so he listened to his words: "Zhang Gu, this gold has been sealed, and no one is allowed to move without my order!" ”
"No!"
Zhang Gu nodded and gave his hand to the order.
……
Wancheng, the county seat of Nanyang.
Although this city was almost in ruins during the Yellow Turban Uprising in the past, as the county town of Nanyang, the first county in the world, it took two or three years to restore and restore the prosperity and liveliness of the past.
The pattern of Wancheng is very rigorous, the outside is the moat, the moat comes in the outer city, the city wall of the outer city is high and thick, even if the Yellow Turban Army is not the inside and the outside, it can not be broken at all, there is the inner city after the outer city, the inner city is quite a lot, it is the main urban area of Wancheng, it is very lively.
Taishou Mansion is located on the east side of the inner city.
There are thirteen entrances and exits in the mansion, and there are dozens of courtyards, among which there are school yards for soldiers and office wings, and there are countless officials in and out.
A courtyard, above the lobby.
Taishou Zhang Zhi, about forty years old, wearing an official robe, with a jade crown on his head, a delicate posture, quite temperamental, kneeling on the top of the first place, looking at the desk from the various county playbooks, picking out a copy of them, spread out a look: "The ...... from Wuyin County"
