Three million cups, what is that number
What is the concept of three million glasses of wine
Let's put it this way, as a great marshal of the generation, Tie Zheng's wedding banquet should not cost more than ten taels of silver per catty; it should cost ten taels of silver per catty anyway. Even more expensive.
But after calculation, even if it is the worst kind of 121 kilograms, three glasses of wine per kilogram will consume at least one million kilograms of wine. In other words, not counting any other expenses, just the wine money alone will be enough. At least ten million taels of silver are needed!
But this amount, based solely on Tie Zheng's salary, would really not be repaid in ten lifetimes!
But he still made this promise and had to fulfill it as scheduled!
…
Tie Zheng ran wildly all the way.
But he could feel that his state of mind had changed a lot from when he set off for the expedition. Now, when Tie Zheng sees everyone in the Yutang Empire, he feels they are so cute and kind!
Along the way, he met countless people who came to give money.
"Just gold and silver, buy wedding wine for the commander-in-chief!"
"Please, Commander-in-Chief, please accept it with honor!"
But Tie Zheng didn't ask for any of them and refused them all!
He knew that his promise was impulsive, even stupid, and all the brothers in the world would be worried about him. However, he would rather die poor and be burdened with debts that he would never be able to repay for the rest of his life, rather than ask for money from these brothers!
I invite you to drink when I get married, that’s my business! If I spend your money on banquets, am I still Tie Zheng
"After I go back, I will sell the two manors given by His Majesty for about three million taels. If I sell all the soft jade and other things at home and the rewards over the years, I can also sell them for two million taels..."
"There are still savings from these years. I robbed some private goods that were not handed over during the war, which amounted to three to four hundred thousand taels. I sold the title and fief for two million and seven million taels. In this way, I have Eight million taels.”
Tie Zheng was calculating in his mind.
"The rest is probably only a shortfall of three million taels. I'll borrow it from the old marshal and Marshal Qiu, and the military generals will put it together, and that's almost enough!"
"No matter what, this wedding wine must be drunk by the brothers!"
"Whether they are still alive or dead in battle!"
"This is the wine that I, Tie Zheng, owe everyone, and it is also the wine that all brothers should drink!"
"Your Majesty said that you have to pay this money, but that won't work. The treasury is already empty. I still have some money, and I still need to provide pensions to my brothers... I can't use this money to drink."
"I, Tie Zheng, can afford this drink!"
The thirty-six guards around him were all discussing secretly.
"How much can you scrape together?"
"It's less than 10,000. I'll think of a way to get to 10,000. I will definitely get to 10,000."
"My family is rich. I can get 100,000 yuan. If I grit my teeth and squeeze, I can get 120,000 yuan. I must have this amount."
"I... feel ashamed. I have thrown them all away over the years, but I still have one hundred taels with me... I can think of a way to borrow some from someone, can I make up five thousand taels?"
"Damn Wu Laoer, you didn't save any money at the critical moment!"
"My place is even poorer than Wu Laoer's..."
Thirty-six guards, everyone counted, and twenty-seven were paupers. They were truly powerless. For a moment, the brothers looked at each other.
The captain yelled angrily: "You bastards, the ones who usually see you lavishing money are just rich people... How come when it comes to serious matters, all of them are so cowardly?"
Twenty-seven people had their heads drooped, looking miserable.
It's true that a penny can defeat a heroic man. As the saying goes, you won't deceive me!
"The main reason is... we fight every day, there are twenty-seven of us, we have no wives and children, both parents are dead, and there is no one at home. We want money... What are we doing? I wish I had money this morning and spent it all in the afternoon... just in case. Someone died that day, but the money was not spent. What an injustice..."
"I didn't spend it recklessly... But as soon as I got the money, I quickly gave it to the families of the brothers who died in the war. Who would have thought that this would happen..."
The brothers looked at each other and sighed.
"But no matter what, when the commander-in-chief gets married, the wedding must be beautiful and grand!" The captain said with red eyes: "You won't rob the rich and give to the poor!"
This is really desperate, and even the idea of robbing the rich and giving to the poor has come out.
"No one is allowed to go!" Tie Zheng's voice pretended to be cold: "You all managed to save your life on the battlefield one by one, and then you turned around and you were so eager to die? No one needs to say more! I have a lot of money! I can’t finish the wedding banquet!”
"Keep your money. If you don't have a wife, quickly find a wife and leave a root!" Tie Zheng said with a dark face: "Why are you spending it all on me? Even if I owe a lot of debt, I still have a wife! You singles, don’t get involved!"
My own family knows their own affairs best, but the thirty-six personal guards don't know the family background of my general. They are all clueless and depressed.
"Why are you pretending to be grandsons? Tiantang City is just ahead of us!" Tie Zheng warned in a low voice: "We are meritorious officials and heroes, all of us should show our strength! Look at all of you looking so unlucky... "
The thirty-six people agreed, and all of them were busy rubbing their faces with their hands until their faces were red and full of energy. Then he straightened his clothes and brushed his war horse, and then he galloped across the horse in a majestic way.
Just passed a forest.
Sudden.
A gust of wind blew up, and countless leaves rustled, rolling up a long dragon directly in front of the cavalry.
"Hush!"
Tie Zheng reined in his horse, and the thirty-six riders behind him stopped at the same time.
A voice came from the woods: "Commander Tie, since you are here, you might as well go into the forest for a chat."
The voice is soft and elegant.
Tie Zheng said: "Who are you? Since you want to meet Tie Mou, why do you need to hide your head and show your tail like this?"
The voice said: "Don't worry, we are friends!"
"Friend?" Tie Zheng sneered: "Why don't I remember that I have a shady friend like you?" As he spoke, he already held the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Behind him, all thirty-six riders held swords in their hands and arrows on strings.
The man in the forest was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay if you don't come in."
Suddenly, with a pop, a bundle fell on the ground, and the gentle voice said: "Marshal Tie, this is my royal family's wedding gift to Marshal Tie!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure on the other side had disappeared without a trace.
"Wedding gift?"
Tie Zheng looked at the red cloth package on the road with suspicious eyes. He urged his horse over and carefully turned over the package with his two-foot-five spear.
The next moment, Tie Zheng's face suddenly turned red, and his whole body was shaking with excitement. He jumped up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Stay! Brother! Brother... stay!"
However, no one in the forest agreed.
Tie Zheng swooped into the woods with a sound, not caring whether there was an ambush in the forest at this moment.
He walked around the woods several times, only to see a stone in the middle that was clean, as if someone had just sat on it.
Tie Zheng walked over excitedly and saw a piece of paper pressed on the stone with a sentence written on it.
"Congratulations to Brother Tie on your wedding. May you have a wonderful marriage and may you have a son soon. I'm here to celebrate the wedding!"
A very short sentence.
However, there is a sign of flame.
Nine stars guard, the flames burn!
At this moment, Tie Zheng was trembling all over, but he was so regretful that it was unspeakable and unbearable!
Why didn't you come in just now? !
Why is suspicion so severe? !
"Commander!" The guard captain rushed in hurriedly: "Commander... Inside this package are twelve million taels of silver notes... This..."
He was excited, excited, and sighed.
My family knows their own affairs best, and with the Marshal’s temper, he would not accept so much money if he dropped it out of thin air...
"Take it!"
Tie Zheng sighed with a sigh.
"Yes, I'll send it back right now... Huh?!" The guard captain's eyes almost fell out of his head in an instant: "Take it?!"
Damn it, the commander-in-chief said it wrong or I heard it wrong. Our brothers sincerely donated money to the commander-in-chief, but he was rejected by the commander-in-chief. How could we accept it now? What about our family members and our own brothers? , Is it possible that this brother's boat will capsize
"This is a congratulatory gift from the Ninth Master! He said that he has made a wedding banquet." Tie Zheng smiled bitterly: "I can refuse the world and your Majesty, but... I can't refuse the money of the Ninth Master, let alone refuse it! "
These words made the guard captain suddenly tremble with excitement: "Nine, nine great people...?!"
