On the table of the Eight Immortals, only Jiang Zhen was feasting.
Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui were already stunned. They looked outside from time to time and were disturbed by the number of hundreds of thousands of taels. How could they still have the heart to eat
As for Zhao Jinge...
Zhao Mingzhu is about to be one year old and has started to eat something. He is feeding Zhao Mingzhu.
And... he was also frightened.
Jiang Zhen had told him before that he had gotten a lot of money, but he really didn't expect that there would be so much.
Brother Zhao Jin had an unreal feeling, he took a piece of meat from the fish's stomach, but didn't feed it into Zhao Mingzhu's mouth.
Zhao Mingzhu opened her mouth wide and wanted to grab the piece of meat that was not far in front of her, but because her body was hugged by Zhao Jinge and her neck was too short to hold it, she was immediately aggrieved: "Wow!"
Zhao Mingzhu's voice woke up both Zhao Jinge and Zhao Liu's couple. Zhao Jinge quickly fed her the fish, and then found that the braised pork and chicken on the table had been killed by Jiang Zhen.
"Don't eat too much, what if you have diarrhea?" Zhao Jinge said worriedly.
"Even if I have diarrhea, I am willing." Jiang Zhen smiled, but he stopped eating meat.
In ancient times, he didn't even have medicine for the three highs. In terms of food, he still pays more attention.
After Jiang Zhen finished eating, Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui, who had not eaten much, put down their chopsticks.
They almost couldn't wait to go outside, and then saw that Jiang Zhen's subordinates were using the boxes as tables to eat, and many of the boxes were greasy with vegetable soup.
This... This is all silver! This is not good? !
Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui rubbed their hands uneasily, always feeling that something was wrong.
Jiang Zhen ate fast, and his subordinates ate even faster.
Jiang Zhen asked the restaurant to send enough food for a hundred people, but in the end, fifty people ate it all.
There were a lot of boxes stacked in the Zhao family's garden. The boxes were messed up with cups and plates. Many people sat directly on the boxes while touching their chubby stomachs.
When the people from the Hu family ticket number came over, what they saw was such a messy scene.
"Which one is Mr. Jiang? Where is the silver?" the shopkeeper of the Hu family's ticket number asked loudly.
His boss asked him to bring dozens of people here to move money... In this small house, he really needed to come in person, and he brought so many people to move money
"Close the door." Jiang Zhen said. After his subordinates closed the door, he pointed to the box in the yard and said, "The silver is in it. Let's weigh it together." The so-called ticket number is the bank, which is quite Of course, in later generations of banks, the business of the ticket number is far less than that of the bank, and it is still local in nature, and the banknotes given can only be circulated within a certain range.
Jiang Zhen didn't know how much money he got back this time. After all, he didn't even have a weighing scale at the Hongjiang Salt Field before.
It is precisely because of this that he did not directly carry the money to the ticket number - he always has to know how much money he has, right
Jiang Ming and He Xiasheng quickly cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks on a box, then opened the box and said to the shopkeeper of the Hu family ticket number: "Come on, let's weigh together!"
After the box was opened, neatly stacked silver bricks were revealed. These silver bricks were all in good condition and gleamed in the sun.
The shopkeeper looked at the pile of plates next to him, and then looked at the box, feeling that he didn't know what to say.
Wait... The shopkeeper suddenly discovered that there are many, many boxes in this yard.
Shouldn't it, these boxes are all silver, right
The shopkeeper suddenly became a little dizzy.
He should have brought more people!
In Daqi, the value of silver depends not only on its weight, but also on its fineness.
The better the fineness of the silver, the higher the value, the poorer the finer silver, the lower the value, and even some merchants do not harvest the badly fined silver.
The shopkeeper, the first thing to look at is the fineness. After seeing it, he couldn't help but sigh: "The fineness of these silvers is excellent."
"Well." Jiang Zhen nodded. After the Hongjiang Salt Field got the silver, it is estimated that it has been re-calcined, and the condition will of course not be bad.
Jiang Zhen was very, very calm, the shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Zhen, and felt more and more that this person was not simple.
Of course, the first thing he has to do now is to weigh the amount of silver.
For the silver, Jiang Zhen asked his subordinates to weigh it first, write down the weight, and then let the person brought by the shopkeeper weigh it. After confirming that it was correct, he wrote it down in the ledger.
Their hands and feet are very fast, but they have too much money, so they have to spend more effort... Jiang Zhen watched for a while, then stopped staring, and went to accompany Zhao Mingzhu instead.
When Zhao Liushi saw this, he patted his chest, whose heart was beating very fast, and stopped staring.
She was afraid that she would be too excited and would not be able to take it...
The yard was full of silver, and she took a deep breath, feeling that she couldn't stay here any longer, so she opened the corner door of the yard and walked out to the outside.
As soon as Mr. Zhao Liu went out, he was surrounded by many people.
"Zhao Liu, the one who came back before was your son-in-law?"
"Is your son-in-law really a big businessman?"
"I didn't expect that what you said was the truth..."
…
Everyone, you said every word, and the quarrel caused Zhao Liu's headache.
She was still thinking about the family's money, and she was impatient to deal with these people: "That's my son-in-law. He is amazing. I went out and made a lot of money this time."
After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone wanted to ask again, and immediately said: "I didn't say a single lie before, you didn't believe it. Now, stop chattering and arguing with me."
Zhao Liushi directly reprimanded people, but none of these people were dissatisfied, instead they smiled apologetically at Zhao Liushi.
They have been holding Zhao Liushi and said a lot of good things, but Zhao Liushi temporarily forgot about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and they were willing to tell them: "My family Jiang Zhen is amazing, this trip out, and again Made a lot of money."
"In this world, there are really few people as promising as him."
"The main reason is that he is good to brother Jin, and to our old couple..."
Zhao Liu raised her head and said proudly, and in front of her, those people nodded in agreement.
Zhao Liu said, and suddenly calmed down.
What if Jiang Zhen made hundreds of thousands of taels? Isn't that still Jiang Zhen? They live the same life in the future.
After calming down, Zhao Liu didn't bother to talk to these people anymore, so he went home.
There were many people in the yard, so Zhao Liu simply went back to the house, and as soon as she entered, she saw Zhao Fugui sitting there.
With people outside, many things can't be said, but Zhao Fugui is different... As soon as he saw Zhao Fugui, Zhao Liu said: "My son, father, how did you tell Jiang Zhen to go out and get so much money back? ?"
In the past, when Jiang Zhen came back from the capital, he brought back a lot of money, but at that time, neither Zhao Liu's nor Zhao Fugui knew the exact amount.
This time it was different. They saw Bai Huahua's silver with their own eyes, and the impact was especially great.
"I don't know." Zhao Fugui said.
Zhao Liu poked Zhao Fugui with his finger and asked, "You said, he shouldn't do anything bad, right?"
"I don't know."
Zhao Liu poked again: "With so much money, will others be jealous?"
"should be."
…
"Jiang Zhen, is it okay for you to get back so much money?" Zhao Liu was not the only one worried about this, but Zhao Jinge was equally uneasy.
"It's okay, don't look at the lot of money I got back, it's actually just a small head." Jiang Zhen said.
The interest group formed by the Hongjiang Salt Works is very large and includes many people, but the Hongjiang Salt Works itself is just a place for salt production.
Although the people here can make a lot of money by selling salt, they definitely do not earn as much as those big salt merchants who take salt from the Hongjiang Salt Farm and sell it elsewhere.
After that Yang Qinchao took control of the military power, he copied the homes of many salt merchants, and some of them copied millions of taels of silver!
Compared with these, the hundreds of thousands of taels he got were nothing. The imperial envoy would definitely not be jealous. As for the court and the queen mother... they would not know about it at all.
The silver in Jiang Zhen's yard took two days to weigh.
This time, the ticket number that came to Zhao's family to get the silver was from Zheng Yi's wife's family, and it was opened by the Hu family, and there were members of the Zheng family. Jiang Zhen was very relieved about them, and finally changed all the silver into silver tickets. , a total of 450,000 taels.
I got rich overnight...
After Jiang Zhen took the money, he immediately contacted Zheng Yi, and then bought a big house in Fucheng. As for the house bought by Zhao Jinge, he planned to use it as the dormitory of the guards of Jin Zhen's guards.
However, although Jiang Zhen bought the house, he was not in a hurry to move, because he still had to go out to sea to deliver things to Zhu Erlin and others.
The island lacked a lot of things, and the main thing was all kinds of food and medicinal materials. When Jiang Zhen visited them this time, he hired a sea boat, and then loaded half a boat of food and half a boat of livestock.
On this day, on the pier of Fucheng, many people stood beside a sea boat, and then watched the sea boat whispering, and from time to time in their encirclement, the sound of pigs could be heard from time to time.
Some people were curious when they saw the movement here, squeezed over, and then saw some strong men moving a live pig with its feet bound to a boat.
"What's the matter?" Although those big ships that are going to sea will load food and live animals on the ships before they go to sea, they will be killed and eaten after they are raised.
"We are also surprised... Wouldn't someone plan to sell the pig to a faraway place? Could this pig still be sold for a big price?"
"Pigs can be raised anywhere. Even if they can be sold at a higher price elsewhere, they won't be as expensive, right? I don't know what this person thinks."
"Maybe people plan to kill pigs every day at sea."
There was a lot of discussion, and it was very strange.
However, they were surprised for a while, and they ignored this matter and talked about other things: "The price of salt has finally come down."
"Yeah, a pound of salt used to cost a hundred cents... It's really too expensive!"
"My parents didn't save salt before, and they haven't eaten salt for half a month!"
"I heard that the salt price will be so high this time, because those salt merchants don't sell salt, they are a bunch of bastards!"
"Fortunately, Yang Qinchao arrested all those salt merchants!"
…
Ordinary people in Hexing Mansion didn't even know about the Hongjiang Salt Farm, and the change in salt prices thought it was the work of some merchants.
No one would explain the reason to them, and the imperial court was unwilling to explain the reason to them, and at this moment, where the former Hongjiang Salt Field was located, a new salt field was already under preparation.
That salt field was named Changhe Salt Field, and it will be managed by Yang Qin in the future.
The Changhe Salt Works could not be built for a while, but fortunately, Yang Qin got a lot of salt when he was sent to copy the salt merchant's home, which finally suppressed the salt price.
Jiang Zhen knew all this, but he was not able to intervene, and he was too lazy to intervene.
He was going to sea again to deliver food to Zhu Erlin and others.
It took them a long time to get all the living creatures on board, and they finally set out in the evening.
Jiang Zhen was not a sailor, so he didn't need to do anything on the boat. He could sleep at night, but the roaring of pigs and ducks in the cabin was so loud that Jiang Zhen couldn't sleep.
That's why Zhao Mingzhu doesn't care. No matter how noisy and noisy the environment is, she can fall asleep quickly when she is tired, and sleep well, and even sometimes, she won't wake up when she wets the bed.
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhu was asleep, Jiang Zhen touched Brother Zhao Jin without hesitation: "Brother Jin, come, sit on me!"
Brother Zhao Jin glared at Jiang Zhen, then obediently "sit" on it.
Jiang Zhen had nighttime entertainment, so he could completely ignore the roaring of the livestock, which was different for other people.
Not long after returning from the capital, Doctor Hu, who was lent to Jiang Zhen by Zheng Yi, was lying on the boat, very depressed.
Every time he finally gets a little sleepy, the pigs in the cabin will suddenly bark... This is clearly not letting him sleep!
Can't Jiang Zhen kill the pig and make it into bacon
The big ship slowly entered the sea.
Zheng Yi built some houses in advance on that island to accommodate Zhu Erlin and others, but those houses were simply not enough to live in.
Zhu Erlin arranged for the old and the weak to go to the house, but he took the young and strong to build some houses and dug a few caves in the past few days.
After a few days, they finally each had shelter from the wind and rain.
Early in the morning, they got busy and started cooking on the fire.
Zheng Yi left a lot of food, so Zhu Erlin asked people to cook dry rice to eat. As for the food, it was naturally salted fish.
Salted fish is very popular in places like Hecheng County, everyone likes it, but Zhu Erlin and others, but none of them like salted fish.
The big guys are holding rice or gobbling it down or tasting it slowly, but no one picks up the salted fish with chopsticks.
Rice is so fragrant and delicious, so don't use fish to cover up its good taste!
After eating, Zhu Erlin took people around the place where they lived.
Some of the people they brought were sick, and some of them looked bad. Besides, the original inhabitants of the island were also hostile to them.
"This island is a little small. In the future, we still have to go somewhere else to find a way to survive." Zhu Erlin said to the people around him, his face full of worry.
"Yeah." The man nodded and said again: "Didn't Jiang Zhen say that we can join the Jin Zhen Escort? We will join in the future."
Also... Zhu Erlin thought for a while, and suddenly realized that his worries were unnecessary.
They will definitely not live on this island in the future.
That is... When will Jiang Zhen come to pick them up? Also, when will the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep promised to them be delivered? He really wants to eat pork!
Zhu Erlin looked at the sea with anticipation, and then saw a ship slowly approaching from a distance.
He is quite familiar with that boat. After all, he has been on it before. This is... Jiang Zhen's boat is here!
Did his pig come too? !
