Chapter 13 Ordinary Money
But what surprised him the most was such a precious calligraphy and painting. The author of this calligraphy and painting must be an official in the court who is highly valued by His Majesty.
According to common sense, this book should be a treasure that has been passed down, but now it has been pawned by a little father-in-law?
As a servant who was once the Minister of Rites, the old shopkeeper’s political acumen is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After just one glance, this little father-in-law must have a strong backer behind him!
When he thought of this, there was a hint of respect in his voice: "Since it is His Majesty's authentic work, how can it be measured in gold? If you have any orders, please just ask and I will convey them to the master."
Hearing this, the old man secretly praised his intelligence.
He knew very well that Song Tianlin definitely did not come here for money when he brought such a treasure.
He wants to use this calligraphy to find the boss behind this pawn shop, the minister behind him, and negotiate a big deal!
Don’t try to get away with this!
I believe that when the master knows about this, he will also praise me for being cautious. The old shopkeeper was moved and smiled secretly in his heart.
But Song Tianlin was stunned.
What the hell? You old guy, what are your orders? I’m not asking you to deliver letters, I’m here to make money! You’re not the protagonist of the movie, can you stop thinking so wildly?
"Father, please wait here for now. Go and call the master over. I have something important to report to you!"
The old steward immediately made a decision and immediately sent someone to find the minister.
This is a big deal and there is no room for carelessness!
When Song Tianlin heard this, he was shocked and quickly grabbed the old shopkeeper, fearing that he would do something stupid: "Old shopkeeper, please don't misunderstand me. I came here this time just because of this matter. No
Other reasons!"
As he said that, he made a move, pressing his thumb against her finger and rubbing it constantly.
Obviously, he wants real money.
The old man was confused and very surprised.
Could it be that I misunderstood that this eunuch is a greedy person? This is unscientific.
There can be no such idiot in this world.
An emperor's calligraphy and painting, in his hands, is equivalent to the value of a city.
But if she really came here for money, that would be troublesome.
The price of this calligraphy is already very high, not to mention that it was written by the emperor himself. Together, these two things make it even more difficult to estimate.
The old shopkeeper didn't know what price to offer. After thinking about it, he still said a number: "Look, how about ten thousand taels of silver?"
"What's the price? Did I hear wrongly?"
Song Tianlin was so excited that he almost fainted. He was so excited that he almost fell off his seat.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Now, the old man has determined that there must be something wrong with this young father-in-law who is in charge of the ceremony.
What a fool.
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
Song Tianlin quickly stood up and adjusted the brim of his hat to calm himself down.
Damn it, this is one hundred thousand taels of silver!
In today's economy, one penny can be exchanged for three eggs, and one chicken can be exchanged for three pence.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, what a huge sum of money is this?
He has never seen such a huge wealth in his previous life or this life.
He made a rough calculation and found that according to the monthly routine of a third-grade father-in-law, if he did not eat or drink for a year, more than 120 years of savings would be enough.
This damn money is so easy to earn.
He originally thought that it would be good to earn one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
Who would have thought that this old man would ask for one hundred thousand taels of silver with just one mouthful?
Darling, this pawn shop owned by the Minister of Punishment is so wealthy?
After all, I am also a third-grade official, how can I have so much money?
Could it be that he accepted a bribe?
Should I tell Mr. Dog this news? Forget it, if he knows that I resold the calligraphy he gave me, I'm afraid he will throw me into the puddle directly.
"It's a deal! Don't regret it, I'm a cultured person."
Song Tianlin was afraid that he would change his mind, so he immediately agreed.
"In addition, I hope you can keep this matter a secret and not spread it outside."
"I am a very strict person, so you can rest assured."
After signing the contract, pressing his fingerprints, and exchanging pleasantries, Song Tianlin took the order and left with satisfaction.
It wasn't until Song Tianlin left that the old man tightened his grip on the scroll in his hand, his eyes constantly changing.
"This matter is not trivial. I must report it to the master immediately."
Since Song Tianlin came to this world, this is the first time he has walked out of the palace.
The streets of the imperial city are bustling with pedestrians.
This was the first time he saw such a lively ancient city.
This was the first time he felt free.
At this moment, he even had the idea of leaving Shangjing. He knew very well that sooner or later, he would die in the hands of this old dragon.
It seems that this day is coming soon.
After thinking for a long time, he finally put the idea behind him.
First of all, Xu Que felt that this old dragon would not let him leave the palace so easily. Who knows if there might be someone following him secretly.
Each of these people are highly skilled in martial arts, and it is too easy to follow them.
Secondly, it was also because he couldn't let go of the queen, concubine Shu, and the little girl Qiaoer with an E-cup cup.
He has never seen a beauty of this level in his previous life, let alone any intimate behavior.
Although he is lustful by nature, he still has an indescribable responsibility towards those women. If he just leaves them alone, it would be a shame for them.
What's more, what should I do if he gave birth to the child? As a father, if he can leave as soon as he wants, what's the point of it?
Because of this, Duan Lingtian gave up this idea.
Of course, the most important thing is that he hasn't gotten one hundred thousand taels of silver from the pawn shop.
How could he be willing to give such a large sum of money to others?
Because ten thousand taels of silver is really a huge amount of money, it is naturally impossible for the store to hand over that much money to Song Tianlin at once, so the store can only pay with the equivalent of Dazhou treasure coins.
There are no coins in the country of Dazhou, but this coin has functions similar to coins. The difference is that Dazhou treasure banknotes are limited to the imperial city.
To put it simply, it means that those with certain powers can exchange Dazhou treasure notes into ordinary money.
Ordinary people have no chance to get such banknotes.
But this also has an obvious advantage, that is, there will not be much inflation.
Before leaving, the old man secretly hid fifty taels of silver dollars in Song Tianlin's sleeve, on the pretext of forming a good relationship.
He doesn't care about these things. What he cares about is money. Now that he has money, his self-confidence has improved a lot, and he can walk a lot easier. He just feels that everything in this world is much more friendly.
"This bullshit emperor is actually called Xuanyuan? Who is Xuanyuan? What do you say?"
Song Tianlin originally didn't pay much attention to the signature on this couplet, but he didn't know that this dog emperor actually had such a unique name. That's why he stopped a student from the Imperial College on the way and asked him to give some advice.
