Although the Ming Dynasty never incorporated gold into the monetary system, when the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Hongwu had set one tael of gold for four taels of silver, and in the actual transactions of the people, one tael of gold was basically equivalent to ten taels of silver. In a year of disaster or turmoil, the price of gold and silver can reach as much as 1:134.

Roughly speaking, 10,000 taels of gold is equal to about 100,000 taels of silver.

Wei Gong made this price public, is it black?

It's not dark at all!

It's just the price given by touching your chest!

You know, in three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion has paid 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Besides, this money doesn't make your Zhenjiang Mansion pay for your private pockets, you can go through the account for everything, and if you can't go through the account, you can also count how many fat sheep there are in Zhenjiang.

These things, you don't need to teach Gong Wei, those who are officials are all self-taught, and they are all chicken thieves.

Anyway, the gold is ten thousand taels, so it's like this, and Father-in-law Wei refused to make a counteroffer.

His old man is also angry, this is going to be put on hold last time, and he can still give this fellow a two-fold discount, but now that such a big formation is put out, it is impossible to bargain, and it is impossible to give you a counteroffer in this life.

The cost of this joint military exercise is really huge.

To put it mildly, the amount of medicine consumed in naval artillery and army gunfire and explosives was in the thousands, not to mention the expenses of money, food, and other things. As for the requisitioned fishermen's fishing boats and the fishermen's labor fees, they have to drive out three or four hundred taels.

When the soldiers and horses move, it is money, even if you don't do anything, go out and hang around, it is also money!

Probably, if you take stock afterwards, you will have to spend at least 5,000 taels.

This is only a military exercise involving three or two thousand people, and the scale is not large, but don't look at the small scale, if there is really a war, the cost of the war on this scale will have to be increased tenfold.

My father-in-law's current money bag can last once or twice.

From small to big, my father-in-law is so difficult, and the pressure on the emperor can be imagined.

If the father-in-law can't do the maritime affairs immediately, he will make money every day, and if there is something in Liaodong in the future, where will he get the money to throw it in. Historically, the Ming Dynasty threw tens of millions of taels of silver into Liaodong before and after, and in the end it didn't turn over a bubble.

Not to mention Liaodong, my father-in-law is preparing to expand the divisional and regiment-level units of the Imperial Army, as well as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Royal Navy, the construction of the Special Economic Zone, etc., no matter which one it is, it is a gold-swallowing beast.

Having money is not everything.

If you don't have money, you can't!

Therefore, Zhenjiang Mansion is happy to honor Father-in-law Wei's 10,000 taels of gold, and when converted, it is to reimburse the travel expenses for this trip for Father-in-law.

He really didn't make much money from it, and it could even be said that he was losing money, and he didn't even reimburse the cost of a small card.

Because every second of the delay in the past few days is extremely precious for my father-in-law. If it is converted into gold and silver, my father-in-law is now lying on the sedan chair, and the divided ones will be thousands of taels.

However, my father-in-law is generous and does not care, he treats people with sincerity and wants to solve the matter as soon as possible. But his prefect thinks of convincing people with reason, not with courtesy. Or I think of dressing people, but this ceremony is not a six-piece set that my father-in-law thinks, but a date with a cake.

The gap between the two sides is a bit big.

The "resignation fee" that Wang Yinglin can accept is 10,000 taels... Silver.

Father-in-law Wei asked for 100,000 taels of silver, which he couldn't accept.

Moreover, Duke Wei's straightforward behavior of openly asking for money obviously made the prefect a little uncomfortable, and also made all the officials in Zhenjiang Mansion a little stunned.

Although I know that Wei Eunuch is here to blackmail if he makes such a big move, everyone is from the imperial court, and if you Wei eunuch wants money, you have to be tactful and find some reasons to excuse yourself, so that the prefect can step down.

I didn't say anything, I didn't have any politeness, I asked for money when I came up, and I looked like I would beat you if I didn't give money, don't say that Lord Fuzun can't swallow this breath, even these officials and their entourage are not convinced.

It's just that I think so, but in front of the soldiers who are eyeing the left and right, in front of the more than ten long flags of Wei Gelding, and then looking at the gap in the city wall that was blown up behind him, who dares to step forward and say a word.

To give or not to give, the prefect will see and do it himself.

Yu Xuedu subconsciously looked at his toes.

Others could be silent, but Wang Yinglin couldn't help but speak, he asked with an ugly face: "But I don't know what name Gonggong Wei wants this mansion to give out these ten thousand taels of gold?" ”

This question is legitimate, reasonable and reasonable, and it is okay to ask for money, but you have to give a reasonable explanation. There is a reasonable explanation, that is, it is from the government treasury, and it is better to make accounts and explain to the above. You don't have any reason, it's 100,000 taels when you open your mouth, how much is the tax in Zhenjiang Mansion a year? Such a big deficit, and it's useless, what do you think of it?

The prefect was really annoyed in his heart, on the one hand, this little eunuch wanted a lot, and on the other hand, the other party's behavior was too humiliating for him, if he agreed to it, what official authority would there be.

"Name?"

The father-in-law laughed, and the hand holding the jade wrench suddenly stopped, and then stopped talking.

The reason is, there is no name.

It's really a joke, the emperor and his old man borrowed money from our family, and he didn't say anything, so he said that his hands were tight. Your small town Jiangfu also dares to ask our family to give a reason?

You really can't make mud when these sons are under our hands!

You really don't think our family will go into the city to get this gold by yourself!

If you don't have a name, you have to give it, and if you don't give it, you have to give it.

The father-in-law obliquely looked at the river from afar, it was really the sunset and the lonely bird flying together, and the autumn water was the same color as the sky.

Wang Yinglin waited for a while, and found that Wei Gelding was looking at the river from afar, and he didn't pay attention to him at all, and his heart trembled when he couldn't help but be angry, but he still held back the anger in his stomach and said in a muffled voice: "Father-in-law Wei wants this mansion to withdraw 10,000 taels of gold without any name, and it is difficult for the first mansion to agree to this matter." There is a difference between inside and outside, and there is no official document of the imperial court, how can the government withdraw the treasury at will. ”

Hearing these words in the ears of Master Zhang on the side, he knew that the benefactor was reasoning with the facts, and he was obviously not negotiating, but in fact he was ready to bleed.

Half of it should be possible, and a little more is not negotiable.

As long as this little eunuch finds a reason to make it difficult to make a little bit of a dilemma that needs help from Zhenjiang Mansion, everyone will be happy about this matter today. As for the loss of Jinshan Temple and the bombed city walls, those are trivial.

It's a pity that Eunuch Wei has never played his cards according to the routine. Under normal circumstances, he should have made up a reason, and then tried to discuss it with the prefect in a tactful tone, even if it was a borrowed word.

However, Tai Wei listened to the prefect's words, took his eyes back from the river, and then waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Zhenjiang Mansion wants an official document from the imperial court?" … Okay, let's write you one. ”

In the past two days, a few ruffians in my hometown want to see if the bones of the bones are very hard, so I have competed with them, and I have delayed the update, forgive me.
