"Thank you Lord Chen for your help, Lord Chen can rest assured, as long as there is some grace, Yanyu will definitely pay back the money!" Zhang Yanyu saluted towards Chen Ying.

Chen Yingdao: "How could you borrow Yu Zhengyang's money?" Don't you know that it's a bottomless pit? ”

"Hey!" A sigh revealed Zhang Yanyu's deep helplessness. "It was the money borrowed by the father, the father and the son repaid the debt, and Yu Zhengyang did nothing wrong."

"Lingzun is?"

"Back to the lord, my father is a direct lecture at Simen Primary School in the past, and now he is a doctor of calligraphy."

Looking at Chen Ying who didn't seem to understand, Zhang Yanyu explained to Chen Ying. This four-door school is not a primary school in the sense of later generations, but one of the three schools that are affiliated with Guozi and Taixue, Guozixue and Taixue are the highest schools, and the four schools are royal schools that specialize in cultivating the children of the royal family. To put it bluntly, it is a professor who teaches the children of the royal family. Moreover, Zhang Wencong's rank is not low, and he belongs to the sixth-grade Beijing official.

"It turns out that Brother Zhang is still an official eunuch!"

"After the eunuch, it's not that you're poor."

"There was a major accident in Brother Zhang's mansion?"

Zhang Yanyu shook his head.

Chen Ying is very strange, although the officials of the Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty, but they are also very considerable in ancient times. With Chen Ying's current official position, he is a Zhengwupin, and he can receive 180 yuan of materials, about 43,000 yuan, and 60,000 yuan of service money plus 60 acres of vocational land, and his annual income is about 600,000 yuan in later generations.

Of course, Zhang Wencong, who is a six-rank official, has a lower income, but his annual income is also about 330,000 yuan. Such an income, although I dare not say that it is rich and expensive, at least it can be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

After Zhang Yanyu's explanation, Chen Ying finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that in September of the first year of Wude, Zhang Wencong wrote a poem "Marked by the name of the good, the genre shows the prime." The map contains four desecrations, and the astronomy contains five desecrations. Fang Liuhan is jade, and the circle is folded and pearlescent. There is a unique Mengyuan official, perched on the roost to play Haoliang. I don't know what's going on, this song actually reached Li Yuan's ears,

Li Yuan liked this poem very much, and rewarded Zhang Wencong with six knives of good rice paper and Hui ink at that time. This time the trouble came, Zhang Wencong is a very pure person, he likes to write, and he can't put down his pen. Every day, whether it is windy or rainy, you must finish writing at least one piece of paper.

It turned out that he used jute paper to write and pine ink to write, and the Zhang family could barely afford it. But since using the rice paper and Hui ink rewarded by Li Yuan, Zhang Wencong suddenly became obsessed with rice paper and Hui ink.

At the beginning, in order to meet Zhang Wencong's needs, Zhang Yanyu's mother only needed to squeeze some money from between her teeth to buy paper and ink for Zhang Wencong, but now a knife of rice paper costs 1,300 yuan, and Zhang Wencong will run out in one day. The originally poor Zhang family was written by Zhang Wencong in just one month.

In desperation, Zhang Yanyu's mother sold the dowry that should be sold, but she still couldn't fill the hole left by Zhang Wencong, but Zhang Wencong would lose her temper if there was no rice paper at home, and Zhang Yan only needed to borrow money from Yu Zhengyang in order to meet the needs of his father Zhang Wencong for writing.

However, it's good not to touch usury, but if you only touch it, your family will be ruined. Where does Zhang Yanyu have the money to return to Yu Zhengyang, as long as he hides in Tibet.

Hearing Zhang Yanyu's story, Chen Ying was speechless. He thought that Zhang Yanyu was either sick at home or because of bad gambling, but he really didn't expect that Zhang Yanyu actually borrowed usury to buy rice paper for his father.

However, according to Zhang Wencong's play, ordinary people really can't afford to play, not to mention that he is only a six-rank official, even if he is promoted to the third grade in the future, the annual income is equivalent to one million, but the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty is very low, and the value of copper coins is very high. The consistent money is converted, which is almost equivalent to four or five thousand yuan, and even if it is the third grade of the official residence, it is only equivalent to more than 200 yuan, which is not enough to spend half a year.

Chen Ying had no choice but to look at Zhang Yanyu with sympathetic eyes.

Chen Ying lacked people in his hands, and he wanted to win Zhang Yanyu into the scene, but the price of winning over Zhang Yanyu was too great, not to mention that he was only a fifth-grade official now, even if he opened a government in the future, he would not need to use people like Zhang Yanyu.

Unless, the price of rice paper can be lowered. But now I can only think about it, and Chen Ying doesn't have the energy.

Chen Ying found that there were a few people in front of his mansion who were sneaky, not like good people. When Ryazan saw that Chen Ying was paying attention, he explained: "This should be the eye of which house came over, do you want to catch it and ask?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head, more is better than less. Moreover, after Wei Zheng's trouble, the entire Chang'an is even more convinced that he is Li Xiuning's person, and there is no one who wants to come to find his bad luck without opening his eyes. As for Chai Shao, Chen Ying was a little dissatisfied.

Since you've fucking wronged me, you might as well give you some eye medicine.

To say that Chen Ying has no feelings for Li Xiuning is definitely a lie, but Chen Ying is conceited that he does not have Wei Qing's ability, and he wants to hold the beauty, unless he can be like Wei Qing and become the person who makes the emperor spend a lot of effort to win over. The action of supporting Lingzhou Li Jiancheng must not be too slow. So there won't be much time left for Chen Ying, so after thinking about it, Chen Ying felt that he should leave to visit Li Xiuning.

To visit Li Xiuning, naturally you can't go empty-handed. However, Chen Ying had already read the gift list in the house at this time, and there was nothing worth selling at all. In fact, although the Chen Mansion is an upstart in Chang'an, it is still too far for this upstart to influence the court. Almost all of the people who came over and wanted to talk to Chen Ying were petty officials who didn't enter the stream......

Chen Ying walked to the door and looked at a thin-faced young man with a few patches on his clothes, but who had been cleanly washed, the weather was cold at this time, and this young man was shivering in the cold wind, "We don't have the manpower to go to the East Market to buy things, how much money do you need for us to take a trip?" ”

"See what you're buying?"

"Are you literate?"

"Recognize a few."

"Then you wait a while," Chen Ying entered the house and wrote a list and handed it to him, "Look at it, buy all these things and send them, and let the store come to the house to pull money, how much extra money do you have to charge?" ”

"Not much, but very valuable! If you don't have time to buy it, you can run errands and let them send the goods to you for you to choose! ”

Chen Yingyi thought that this method was the best, sitting at home and waiting for the guests to deliver to the door, wouldn't this be equivalent to the Meituan takeaway in later generations?

Wait until the evening lamp, four or five merchants carry goods to the door, Chen Ying selected a good Hetian sheep fat jade bracelet, sheep fat jade or the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period slowly hyped up, in the Tang Dynasty there was no Hetian sheep fat jade price is not expensive, Chen Ying selected this piece, white and flawless, warm color, excellent feel.

And the carving is extremely delicate, such a piece of mutton fat jade is a few hundred thousand, but in this era it is only two dollars, in the conversion, less than one-tenth of the later generations. And this piece is definitely a first-class product that is pure and natural.
