Looking at Qin Zhong with a bruised nose and swollen face, Qin Keqing felt heartbroken, "How could you attack him so hard? He is just a child."
"Alas~~~"
Qin Ye was also distressed, but he was soft-tempered and feared Shangguan, "He must be the one causing trouble, and he is the son of the Great Sima family."
"So what." Even though he was angry, Qin Keqing's voice was charming, "Is there no royal law?"
Qin Ye waved his hand, not wanting to explain the use of Wang Fa in front of a person of Da Sima's status.
Although he is not good at maneuvering, he understands the king's law better than Qin Keqing.
"Master Lian is Uncle Jia Rong. He must have helped because of this relationship." Qin Ye changed the subject and adjusted the atmosphere, "When you marry into Ningguo Mansion, he will also be your uncle."
Qin Keqing, with flushed cheeks, lowered her eyelids and whispered softly, "Uncle~~~"
When we returned to Sister Feng's yard, it was almost dusk.
Li Yunze sent Xing'er to send a formal greeting to Da Sima's house.
Theoretically speaking, greeting cards need to be sent some time in advance. But with Liang Huairen patting his chest, now it is just a formality.
Sister Feng and Ping'er are not here, so they should be accompanying the old lady in the Rongxi Hall to increase their presence.
This is the case for big families in this era. Power and wealth are all in the hands of the elderly. If filial piety is suppressed, it can ruin a person's reputation.
When young people grow old, they will naturally enjoy this.
When he came to the study and closed the doors and windows, Li Yunze opened the time and space door and returned to the modern world.
It had been several days since he returned from Hangzhou, and he had made sufficient preparations before heading to the world of Dream of Red Mansions.
He knew very well what preparations were most needed to enter the world of Dream of Red Mansions, and he had already ordered ten tons of industrial silver to be stored in the warehouse.
The price of silver in the modern world is very low. The price of one ton ordered in the name of a company is around three to four million.
The world of Dream of Red Mansions follows the Ming system, which is 37.3 grams when converted into one tael.
If ten tons of silver were pulled over, that would be a huge sum of two hundred and sixty-eight thousand taels.
The purchasing power of silver is actually very high, which cannot be shown by simple food price conversion.
The material richness gap between the two worlds is hundreds of times different, and the monetary value is naturally different.
Jia's mother, who has the status of a high-ranking official, only has twenty taels of silver per month.
"Da Sima."
Looking at the silver mountain in front of him, Li Yunze picked up a piece and struck it. The crisp metal collision sound was very pleasant. "My silver is not that easy to get."
After arranging the sorting, we returned to the world of Dream of Red Mansions and asked the waiter to go to the small kitchen to get the food.
The Jia family has its own large kitchen, which is responsible for supplying food for the whole family.
There is a lot of money in this kind of place, and the dowry of one family and the maids of that family are all working in the big kitchen to make money.
The food expenses are fixed, and they make money, so naturally some people don't have enough to eat and don't have good food.
In this case, the small kitchen naturally came into being.
After eating and drinking, Li Yunze went to sleep. He still had important work to do tomorrow.
In a daze, I felt like someone was pushing me.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the pretty Wang Xifeng with a slightly red face and drunken eyes, sitting beside her with her mouth covered and burping after drinking.
"This is how much I drank."
Sister Feng rushed to her side, lying on her back and covering her forehead, complaining that she had a headache.
Over there, Ping'er came over with hot water and towels, and explained in a low voice, "The old concubine of Nan'an Palace is here, and grandma will drink a few more glasses with her."
"How many drinks are you talking about?" Li Yunze sat on the bedside and looked at Wang Xifeng, who was very drunk. The smell of alcohol was filling his mouth and nose. "You women drink very hard too."
When men are around, women usually drink in small sips and have to cover their mouths.
When there are no men, if women get together to drink, they can really do anything, even with their legs and hair tied up.
Ping'er helped Wang Xifeng wash up, but the smell of alcohol on her body was so strong that within a short time, the main room was already full of alcohol smell.
Li Yunze, with a dark face, stood up and went to the partition outside to lie down.
Before, he had the idea of taking care of Wang Xifeng at night, but with Sister Feng's current appearance, let alone a fairy concubine, even if she was a goddess, he was no longer interested.
After a while, Ping'er, who had packed up, timidly came over and said, "Master, go and sleep."
"I'm not going." Li Yunze, who was lying on someone else's bed with his eyes closed, said in a low voice, "Stop bothering me. If you keep nagging me, I'll drag you up."
Ping'er had no choice but to stamp his feet and turn around to accompany Wang Xifeng.
In the past, when Jia Lian was not at home, she would sleep with Wang Xifeng.
Before turning off the light and lying down, Ping'er looked at Li Yunze in confusion.
Somehow, I always feel like something is different about me.
The sky is brightening outside the window, and the maids and women outside the house have already gotten up and are busy.
Ping'er, who had taken care of Wang Xifeng all night, stood up with a yawn.
I was stunned as soon as I got up. In the past, I didn't get up until midnight, but I had already gotten up to clean up.
Ping'er came back to his senses and hurried forward to help Li Yunze sort out his clothes.
Li Yunze, who smiled like a dragon king and almost raised the corners of his mouth to his ears, stared at the girl in front of him with burning eyes.
Everyone knows that when you wake up in the morning, you are so angry that you can drill through the bed boards.
His eyes were so hot that Ping'er had to lower his eyelids.
Although he didn't say a word during this period, the atmosphere made Ping'er's hands tremble slightly.
After finally finishing everything, when Li Yunze walked out of the main room, Ping'er patted his heart and let out a sigh of relief.
"It's really different. It's not like before where I wanted to devour me. I couldn't explain it, but I felt so majestic and pressured. Hey~~~ Master, I haven't washed up and had breakfast yet."
Ping'er took steps to chase him out, but he heard Wang Xifeng's voice "Water~~~" coming from behind him.
Arriving in the yard, Li Yunze called to Laiwang, "Go and ask a group of people to follow me."
Lai Wang complained in his mind, ‘I’m not even allowed to eat breakfast and I’m just asking people to work’.
But there was a smile on his face and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Second Master."
Li Yunze left the house with a dozen of Jia's servants, crossed Rongning Street and went straight to the breakfast shop.
When passing by Rongning Street, Li Yunze carefully observed that many people opened their doors early to go about their day's work.
There are many distant relatives, and they are not all useless.
What is missing is a true leader, a leader who can convince people and bring them together.
"You can't count on the trash from Rong Ning's second house. Let's see if there is anything useful in these distant houses."
Li Yunze cannot handle the matter of reviving the Jia family from beginning to end by himself. He will definitely need to find help from others.
There is no need to think about the well-dressed trash in the two houses, such as Jia Baoyu, who only knows how to eat rouge, and they are specially used to hold back.
Only in these distant houses with low living standards on Rongning Street can there be some useful people.
Living environment shapes people, the ancients would not deceive me.
"When we are released, we will make announcements. Those who are willing to follow and risk their lives are the ones who can be made."
Li Yunze spent a lot of money, and the dozen or so servants in the breakfast shop ate so much that they all burped until they were full.
They used to work in the big kitchen in Jia's house, and they were also the group of people who were most severely deprived.
At this time, Li Yunze gave them a full meal and immediately praised them profusely.
After eating and drinking, Li Yunze got up and took them to Yonglefang.
When leaving Qin's house yesterday, Li Yunze rented a dilapidated courtyard here.
Laiwang and the others were waiting outside, thinking this was the foreign residence that the second master had found.
But when Li Yunze opened the courtyard door and let them in, what he saw was eight large cars.
There were wooden boxes piled on the cart, which looked very heavy.
"Take everyone away and go to Rishengchang Yinhao."
The cart contained more than three tons and nearly four tons of silver, totaling one hundred thousand taels.
Li Yunze wanted to send it to the bank to exchange it for a banknote.
It is indeed difficult for two people to pull a large truck loaded with hundreds of kilograms.
But when Li Yunze promised that each of them would be given five taels of silver today, Laiwang and the others immediately became full of strength.
Unfortunately, the old lady's monthly payment is only twenty taels.
Li Yunze doesn't have much else, he just has a lot of money.
That is to say, Rishengchang's head office is in Shenjing City. If it were a local state capital, the inspection of the deposit and withdrawal turnover of such a large amount of silver would definitely be a troublesome matter.
There are also advantages. People basically won’t ask about the source and whereabouts.
Just look at the bills and don't ask anyone.
After getting a thick stack of one hundred thousand taels of silver notes in hand. Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Rishengchang who had been accompanying and serving him attentively throughout the whole process, Li Yunze took a look at the sky and took the servants to the restaurant for lunch.
The inspection work of one hundred thousand taels of silver has taken too long, and it is already afternoon.
After dinner, Li Yunze did not go directly to Mr. Liang Ge's residence. Instead, he sat by the banister on the third floor of the restaurant and looked at the palace not far away.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, he stuffed his banknotes and asked someone to help him make an appointment with Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace.
All dynasties have strictly prohibited the inner court from making friends with foreign ministers, but this regulation is also based on time and people.
Xia Shouzhong was young, and he was always smiling when we met.
However, the contempt and disdain in his eyes could not escape Li Yunze's eyes.
"I've met Eunuch Xia." Li Yunze smiled and handed over his hands, "My father-in-law is busy with things, so I don't dare to disturb you."
"It's easy to talk about." Xia Shouzhong greeted happily for a few words, and then turned to the topic, "I wonder what the young master wants from our family?"
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing, and skillfully took out a stack of banknotes.
Xia Shouzhong immediately understood, but he just held his hands and did not accept it immediately.
Although there are no eunuchs who are not greedy for money, there are some coins that cannot be taken.
"My eldest daughter has been cared for by my father-in-law for a long time, so I would like to express my gratitude." He put the banknote in his hand into Xia Shouzhong's hand, "my father-in-law must not be polite."
The person the Jia family is most sorry for is actually Jia Yuanchun, who was sent to the palace in his early years.
All men are useless, but this one is the only one who has some ability.
It's a pity that everyone in the Jia family only thinks about Gao Le all day long and gives too little support to Jia Yuanchun who is deep in the palace.
Xia Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, took the banknote and looked through it, "This is what our family should do. Master is so polite. This, this, this, this, is too much!"
There are as many as ten Rishengchang banknotes worth five hundred taels each.
He, Xia Shouzhong, had never received such generous filial piety. After all, the boss of the eunuch in the palace was the eunuch who held the power.
"My father-in-law has worked hard to serve your majesty for the people of Zhou Dynasty. This is what you should do." In the world of the late Ming Dynasty, Li Yunze, who had been served by eunuchs for a long time, understood the psychology of these people very well. "I still have something to ask for."
'Oh, I still want to do something.'
Xia Shouzhong, who had put some thought into it, squeezed the banknote hard and looked a little embarrassed, "I wonder what the young master wants?"
He really didn't know if he could handle the matter of five thousand taels of silver, let alone whether he dared to do it.
Li Yunze, who smiled and said nothing, took out a beautifully crafted box, "I have some local specialties at home, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to deliver them to my eldest daughter."
Xia Shouzhong knew very well that spending five thousand taels just to hand over something was nonsense.
It was obvious that these five thousand taels were used by the Jia family or the young master in front of him specifically to make friends with him.
Recalling the emperor's attitude towards the nobles, he deliberately refused.
But his hands didn't obey his orders, and he skillfully put the five thousand taels of silver notes into his sleeves.
There is no way, he gave too much.
He took the box and said in an unruly manner, "Young Master is too polite, it's easy to raise your hand~~~"
When he opened the lid and inspected it, he found that it was full of Rishengchang banknotes with a denomination of one thousand taels. There were dozens of them in a thick pile!
