When the silver box was brought into the hall and opened on the spot, a large number of servants came forward and placed the silver ingots on the prepared shelves. In less than a moment, a mountain of silver appeared in the entire hall, as high as the roof.
!
Especially the silver that had been polished carefully and shone brightly under the light of the lobby! The flashing silver light through the door could blind the eyes of passers-by! Those people couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it. I'm afraid there is something wrong.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right? Does Wu Ninghou really want to spend a lot of money?
At this time, some smart people remembered that Wu Ning Hou raised money to punish civil servants some time ago, and some people asked whether it was because the Marquis made money by beating civil servants that he had to pay back the capital to each family?
When everyone heard this, they immediately believed it and were sure that this was the truth of the matter! Because as long as the things that happened today are connected in series, many people can figure it out! And even if they can't figure it out, there will be "smart" people who click on this
topic, let them understand!
So this topic spread throughout the capital in a short period of time, and everyone was talking about it! Their biggest topic was how much money did Wu Ninghou get back when he went out to fight? How much money did each family invest, and how much money could they get back?
The time was quickly approaching noon, and the people who had received the invitations were already coming out of their homes one after another. And coincidentally, after they went out, the people in front of them shouted extremely loudly, for fear that others would not know that they were rushing to Shiweizhai!
The first ones to arrive were Zhang Shunping and others. Because they had low status as businessmen, how could they dare to let noble officials wait for them?
Seven or eight people from Zhang Shunping got out of the car in front of the door. They chatted with each other for a while and then happily walked towards the soldiers blocking the road. Someone shouted loudly from behind: "Brothers, let them in!"
The soldiers had just stepped aside when Liu Jinbao came over with a smile on his face and bowed his hands to Zhang Shunping and others. Zhang Shunping was Liu Haojia's father-in-law, so he said generously: "Nephew Liu Xian, the gesture made by the Marquis is quite big."
Yeah, is this appropriate?"
Liu Jinbao said in a low voice: "The Marquis has no intention of hiding this matter, and it can make a big fuss. Just let everyone see that if you follow the Marquis, you will get meat!"
Zhang Shunping and others laughed when they heard this, and one of the businessmen said: "This is natural! Since I started working with the commander-in-chief, my family wealth has more than doubled!"
Everyone walked to the main entrance chatting and laughing. When Zhang Shunping and others looked up, the mountains of silver in the lobby immediately hit their eyes! Especially the silver that had been polished deliberately, and there were twice as many lights on the ceiling.
So the silver light looks very dazzling!
Although Zhang Shunping and others are engaged in big business, this was the first time they saw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver piled together, and they couldn't help but feel dazed! The two people behind Zhang Shunping even had weak legs, but fortunately they
He was so close that his shoulders were touching his shoulders so he didn't fall to the ground!
Zhang Shunping was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and sighing: "I only knew that Mr. Hou has always been generous, but I didn't expect it to be so big! It's really scary!"
Liu Jinbao also smiled bitterly and said: "I was also shocked when I listened to Master Hou's instructions! But I couldn't realize it at the time! Now I feel my mouth is dry when I look at it!"
The two businessmen with weak legs didn't feel ashamed. One of them smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, my legs are both weak! If we weren't leaning against each other, we would have fallen to the ground just now!"
The words of the two of them caused everyone to laugh! Although the laughter was loud, it did not mean to ridicule, but made people feel happy for a while! After all, for these businessmen, making profits from investment is the most enjoyable thing. Nowadays, a
There is a real mountain of silver in front of you, how can you not be happy!
Seeing a few people standing in front of the door laughing, the idle people watching the excitement immediately guessed that these people had invested money for the Marquis! Judging from their clothes, they could tell that they were wealthy businessmen. They had invested money in the past.
I'm afraid I'll have to double the money I earned back!
As soon as someone among them said this in an envious tone, everyone looked at them with envy. It happened that a few of them walked into the door hand in hand, especially when their figures were engulfed by silver light, everyone was even more excited.
I envy them for being able to come into contact with Silver Mountain at such a close distance, and I wish I could do it with my own body!
Then came the nobles of all sizes. These nobles had different expressions. Some looked up proudly, some laughed, and some bowed their heads and sighed!
Needless to say, those who laughed proudly must have invested a lot of money, and those who shook their heads and sighed must have invested less money! Now that they see the mountain of silver in front of them but can only take away a small part, they are naturally unwilling to accept it!
The last person to arrive was Zhang Jia who came from the palace. He caused a sensation when he showed up with a group of eunuchs! They knew that this was someone representing the emperor, so everyone paid close attention to Zhang Jia.
What is his performance?
Because the people who arrived from each house behaved differently, the idle people outside had begun to bet on each person's performance. When they arrived at Zhang Jia's place, someone actually said: "One of them has no eggs. Maybe he will just see the Yinshan Mountain."
Kneel down! I will make him kneel down!"
Amid everyone's discussion, Zhang Jia and Liu Haojia walked hand in hand to the front door. Zhang Jia looked up and couldn't help but look dazed and visibly swayed! Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "Fall, fall!" Others shouted:
"Steady, steady!"
Fortunately, Zhang Jia is also a person who has really seen the world. Although his body swayed a little, he still stabilized his steps. He shook off the dust and said with a bitter smile: "Master Hou, your move is really scary. Our hearts are a little pounding."
Son, my head is dizzy!"
Liu Haojia laughed loudly and said: "What we want is this effect, which is to let everyone see the money and let them know that if they follow Long Live Lord, they will get money if they follow us!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jia nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's an interesting idea. Forget it, let's go in first! We are really a little dizzy looking at this silver mountain!"
When everyone saw Zhang Jia entering, the topic changed. Someone said: "The emperor also paid for this war, and now he is here to get the capital too!"
However, someone in the crowd said: "The officials in the court are not good people. The court should have paid for the war, but they forced the emperor to take money from the inner treasury to fight the war!"
Before everyone could react, someone else said: "Isn't that right? If the imperial court pays for the war, and the money comes back, maybe we can be exempted from some taxes! So, the princes in the imperial court are all short-sighted.
