…

After taking a look at Hua Xiangrong who was hiding behind Cai Shen, Cai Mao was stunned!

He never expected that Cai Shen had just gone out for a while and brought back a singing girl and wanted to redeem her!

After looking at Hua Xiangrong again, Cai Mao said in his heart: "Beautiful is pretty enough, but it's a little small. Does Uncle Six like this little one? "

Seeing that Cai Mao didn't say anything, just staring at Hua Xiangrong for a while, Cai still frowned slightly and said, "You can't do this?"

Cai Mao heard the words and then withdrew his gaze and said, "Uncle Six is ​​waiting for me for a while."

Cai still nodded and said, "Okay. But when we leave, I will take her away."

Cai Mao said in a little shocked: "Uncle Six, you are a little too anxious, right? And you don't ask, how much money can you spend to redeem her?"

Cai still said: "I have never liked to make trouble. As for the money, I am willing to pay for her no matter how much."

Cai Jian's words moved Hua Xiangrong secretly, while Cai Mao was a little dissatisfied. He thought to himself: "As a famous little girl, isn't it a famous prostitute who has become famous?"

but--

Although he was quite dissatisfied with it, Cai Mao also knew that his father Cai Tao valued Cai Jian very much.

Therefore, Cai Mao dared not do his best.

After Cai Mao left, Hua Xiangrong said nervously: "Master, will your mother promise me to redeem yourself?"

Cai still looked at Cai Mao's back and said, "If he can't even handle such a small matter, then he will be too sorry for his origin."

really!

After a while, Cai Mao came back and said, "Uncle Six, I have already negotiated with the madam. This is Hua Xiangrong's contract to sell her body."

While speaking, Cai Mao handed Hua Xiangrong's contract to Cai Jian.

Cai Shen took a casual look, handed the contract to Hua Xiangrong and said, "You've got it done."

Hua Xiangrong said in disbelief: "Master, please let me keep it myself?"

Cai still asked back: "Is there anything wrong?"

Hua Xiangrong hesitated and said, "Master, aren't you afraid...I ran away with my body sale contract?"

Cai still grabbed Hua Xiangrong's hand and placed the body selling contract on Hua Xiangrong's hand, saying, "If you want, you can take your body selling contract home now, and then live the life you want. I promise not to disturb you."

Hua Xiangrong listened to the words, lowered her head and looked at the contract of selling her body in her hand, and said nothing for a long time.

After a while, Hua Xiangrong raised her head silently, then pulled Cai Jian's clothes and stuffed the sales contract into it, and said, "Master, please help me keep it. If I take it home, I will probably be sold by my father again."

Hua Xiangrong's behavior has already explained her choice.

Cai is still not the Virgin.

Moreover, as Hua Xiangrong said, if Cai still asked Hua Xiangrong to take his own contract to go home, Hua Xiangrong's father who had already sold Hua Xiangrong once might sell Hua Xiangrong again.

So, Cai still didn't refuse anymore, and he said, "Then I'll keep it for you first. You can ask me for it anytime when you want it."

Cai Mao, who was standing beside him, was speechless - he couldn't figure out why Cai still gave Hua Xiangrong the contract to Hua Xiangrong, and even more so why Hua Xiangrong didn't want it?

"What are these two people doing?" Cai Mao asked questions all over his head.

Cai still looked at Cai Mao and asked, "How much did it cost?"

Cai Mao replied: "Three thousand silks."

"Hiss~"

Cai still gasped and said to himself: "So expensive?"

The official salary system of the Song Dynasty was very chaotic. Officials who had no actual positions could receive salary, and those who had actual positions could add additional money.

In addition to the regular salary, there are also clothing, wealth, millet, tea, wine, kitchen materials, firewood, charcoal, salt, entourage clothes, horses, straw, millet, extra money (increase), job money, ministers and favors, etc. Local officials are equipped with a large amount of job land.

Officials who have sent positions will be given additional allowances as post subsidies.

This kind of job money is given according to the difference between the official and the person who is condemned by the position, so even if you hold the same official, the job money is not the same.

If you are given a guard before the word "Judgement" and "Judgement" is lower than the first to second ranks of the difference, you will add 55 and 50 ranks per month.

If the character "Judgement" is added or not added before the character "Judgement" means that the official is higher than the official or the same level as the official, and there are sixty pieces per month.

To put it vividly:

The third division: the monthly income is 120 pieces, the monthly income is 240 pieces, and the total monthly income is 360 pieces.

Prime Minister: The month of the year is 300, the month of the year is 600, and the month of the year is 900.

The political affairs of the Communist Party of China: 200, 400, 600 pieces in total.

Six Buddhists: Sixty, one hundred and twenty, a total of one hundred and eighty pieces.

Minister: Fifty-five, one hundred and ten, a total of one hundred and sixty-five pieces.

Nine Ministers: Forty-five, ninety, a total of one hundred and thirty-five pieces.

Shaoqing: Thirty-five, seventy, a total of one hundred and five pieces.

The county magistrate of Chi County: Thirty, sixty, a total of ninety pieces.

The county magistrate of Chi County: fifteen, thirty, a total of forty-five treasures.

Three thousand treasures, this is the prime minister’s salary for three years. If he is a county magistrate, he will have to work for sixty-six or seven years.

Moreover, don’t forget that the Song Dynasty attached the most importance to literati and advocated high salaries to maintain integrity. Therefore, officials in the Song Dynasty generally had high salaries.

In other words, these three thousand silks are definitely more than Cai Lan imagined.

Let's put it more vividly.

At this time, a sacred (sacrifice) is about 300 yuan for later generations (with the arrival of the war, the money will be greatly depreciated. After the Jingkang Shame, it will always be about 80 to 120 yuan for later generations.).

Three thousand silks are about nine hundred thousand.

In short, these three thousand pieces are definitely not a decimal.

Not long ago, Cai Shen asked for 18,000 knots from Cai Quan in the name of Su Niang.

Cai still secretly calculated that the amount of money was equivalent to more than five million in later generations.

Cai Shen suddenly felt like he was suddenly rich.

Now Cai still looks at it again, okay, he seems to have not left the category of poor people.

Not only did Cai still feel expensive, Hua Xiangrong also exclaimed: "Ah? It's so expensive, they only gave my father fifty shits!"

Cai Mao glanced at Hua Xiangrong, and then explained to Cai: "Uncle Six may not know that although it is only 30 to 50,000 yuan for a little girl in Fanlou, it is absolutely impossible to leave as long as a person enters Fanlou without a 18,000 yuan. Moreover, this refers to those who are not famous. If they are famous prostitutes, there is no upper limit for the price. Of course, Fanlou is not unreasonable. They have to train these little girls, teach them to read, read, teach them various talents, and teach them how to please men. All of these cost money. Moreover, the madam said, this... Hua Xiangrong is not only a beauty, but also a rare good voice. In the future, he may become a famous prostitute like Li Shishi and Zhao Yuannu. Let me put it this way, if we were not from the Cai family, you would not be able to redeem your life for Hua Xiangrong even if you spent 30,000 yuan."

Cai Meng said this, Cai Jianxin. The brothel is doing this kind of business, and it relies on the ladies in the brothel to make money. So, if you really fall in love with the ladies in the brothel, then if the brothel does not squeeze you a lot of money, how can you finally get married with a lover?

Cai still looked at Hua Xiangrong and said, "Although three thousand silks are a lot, they are not enough to compare with you."

When Hua Xiangrong heard this, her heart felt sweet, and then she lowered her head shyly.

Cai still looked at Cai Mao again and said, "I never thought I would meet Hua Xiangrong, so I didn't bring so much money on me. I'll let Li He go back and get it."

Unexpectedly, Cai Mao waved his hand and said generously: "Uncle Six, you are polite. Even if this Hua Xiangrong gives you a gift, I congratulate you on Uncle Six for his debut on the list."

Cai still insisted: "If you don't have any merits, how can I let you spend so much money for me?"

Cai Maoxiao said, "You don't have to be polite Uncle Six. My father often said, Uncle Six is ​​both civil and military, and will sooner or later become famous all over the world. If there is really that day, please take care of your nephew Yi Er."

Cai is really nervous about money now.

Moreover, sometimes, owing others some favors may not be a bad thing, which can strengthen mutual friendship.

So, seeing that Cai Mao was not a fake, Cai still stopped refusing and said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

"It's really a beautiful sentence!"

"The king is really worthy of the top scorer!"

"This poem should be Fanlou's first masterpiece recently!"

“…”

Cai Mao was about to say something, but his attention was attracted by the people on Zhao Kai and the others.

Seeing this, Cai still looked at Zhao Kai and the others.

I saw a servant Fanlou hang a poem on the screen wall of the flag tower, and a group of people below were applauding.

Cai still has excellent eyesight and can be seen from this far away. There are eight lines in the poem: How high is the green peaks, and the rocks are straight up half a day. The entrance of Xuming Cave has been a thousand years, and the clear flows through the clear flow. The sea clams are sucking the moon, and the clouds and dragons are snatching the traces and then riding on the wind. The falcon flag shows the rain, and autumn is just around the corner.

Cai still read it and felt that this poem was just that, not so good.

but--

Although this poem is average, Zhao Kai's ambitions are also revealed.

Cai still remembers that he saw it in a non-official history:

When the Jin people approached the city of Bianliang, Zhao Ji was afraid of destroying the country at his own hands, so he urgently summoned the crown prince Zhao Huan to the palace, wanting to pass the throne to Zhao Huan.

At that time, Zhao Kai was deeply loved by Zhao Ji and had a considerable force, especially he was intimate with Zhao Ji's personal eunuch.
