Come to Daming with military supplies

"Well. It seems to be worth it." Yang Chendong also looked around, looked at the environment here, and nodded in satisfaction.I also began to weigh in my heart whether there is anything that can be improved compared with the drawings of my own decoration.

Seeing that Yang Chendong didn't look distressed at all, Yang Yang felt relieved.Although it is true that he is his own younger brother, it is his money that he spends in the end. It is impossible to say that he is not guilty at all.And in order to show the necessity of his own existence, and mainly to be worthy of the sixth brother, he carefully pointed to the two tables closer to the stage and said, "Sixth brother, do you see the people on those two tables?"

Yang Chendong's eyes moved accordingly, and there were two young people in their 20s sitting on two tables in his line of sight. They were dressed in brocade and satin, and looked proud, seemingly supercilious.

Knowing that the sixth younger brother was paying attention to them, he chuckled, leaned forward and introduced in a low voice, "The elder son on the east side is Xu Chengzong. The one on the west side is named Zhang De."

"Oh!" Yang Chendong raised his eyebrows, "But the descendants of Wei Guogong and British Duke?"

"Sixth brother is really clear. Xu Chengzong is the eldest son of Wei Guogong Xu Qin. Now he is not in good health, and they say he will pass on the title to this son. That Zhang De is just the second son of the British Duke Zhang Fu. It is estimated that there is no way to take over the public position, but I heard that he has a good relationship with his elder brother Zhang Mao, and he should have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life." In order to please his sixth brother, or to have more money to spend, Yang Yang He poured out as much as he knew.

Yang Chendong nodded while listening, he knew these two people, and the Security Bureau had done a detailed investigation before.

Xu Qin, Duke of Wei, grandson of Xu Da, king of Zhongshan.

Back then, Xu Da was known as the number one hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so his descendants naturally enjoyed the glory of an extremely noble status.

It's just that the descendants are the descendants, and there are no truly capable people. In addition, the emperors of all dynasties were worried that they would make great achievements, so they have been suppressing their use, making it even more difficult to do anything.And now Xu Qin's health is also very bad, and he is bedridden at home every day to recover from his illness. As his eldest son, Xu Chengzong's voice for succession is getting louder and louder, and this person's status will naturally rise accordingly.

As for the other person, Zhang De, he is the second son of the British Duke Zhang Fu.I mentioned Zhang Fu before, he has done a lot of meritorious service, and he can be called a famous general of a generation.It's just that eunuchs are in power now, and they are indeed suppressed severely. This matter has been introduced in the previous chapters.

But no matter what, with the big brand of British public, not everyone can afford it.

It's just a Jiuyifang, which can make the two princes come here to join in the show. From this, it can be seen that this fragrant lady should be of a certain level, and Yang Chendong couldn't help but look forward to it even more.

Sitting peacefully on the chair, taking a sip of tea from time to time, Yang Chendong sat here contentedly.When he first came to the capital, he knew a very limited number of people, which saved him the trouble of pretending and saying hello to other people.

As time went by little by little, the whole hall became more and more lively. People of all kinds were constantly being ushered in by the maids to sit in front of the square table. Slowly, the climate in the hall began to rise, and all kinds of sweat smells Flooded here, causing Yang Chendong to frown his nose lightly, then shook his head, the ventilation equipment here is not good, so that the smell here cannot be dissipated quickly, just this point, it seems a lot worse .

Unlike the Immortal Residence that I want to open, it not only has transparent windows, but also has a layer of screens outside. In this way, it can ensure ventilation and prevent all kinds of mosquitoes. That is a place with a fresh smell.

While waiting, or it could be suffering, the occupancy rate in the hall reached more than [-]%. There was a sound of light walking, and two young girls who looked quite upright walked away with a pipa in their arms. On stage.

Yang Yang on the side has been observing Yang Chendong, ready to give an explanation as a speaker at any time.Seeing that two young girls came up, he moved his head closer and said, "Fourth brother, these two are warming up the scene, they are not at odds."

"En." Yang Chendong nodded.In the later generations, the grand theater also followed this procedure. There was a warm-up scene first, and the real corner could only appear as the finale.

With the appearance of the two warm-up girls, the entire hall became much quieter.Then the two girls bent down to salute first, and then the two girls holding the pipa slowly opened their cherry mouths and sang, "Red dragonfly, fly on the green poplar branch. When the spider saw it, it stretched its web. Look at him infatuatedly. Spider, don’t look at me. This kind of trap advises you to think less. I have exhausted your mind, but I just can’t get into your web.”

The style of the song is very slow, and it often takes a long time to sing a sentence, which has a little flavor of Kunqu Opera of later generations.This song was also a famous dragonfly poem at that time. Some people still nodded and shook their heads appreciatively, as if they were reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and those who knew Huhu were the same.

But no matter what other people are like, Yang Chendong really looks like he is about to fall asleep for a while. He is obviously used to the pop music of the later generations, so he really can't appreciate the set in front of him.

The song was sung for nearly half an hour, and Yang Chendong, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by the applause of whoever was here, and when they raised their heads, the two girls had already bowed and bowed to leave Going down, it was replaced by a woman in her 30s with a good face.

Looking from Yang Chendong's position, he could just see a trace of melancholy in the corner of the woman's eyes. He guessed to himself, it must be a kind of accumulation of life.It is impossible to say that I have not suffered any grievances after spending years in the field of joy.On the contrary, all kinds of people should be greeted with a smile, and any kind of people may make you angry.But since they are open for business, they can only wait with a smile on their faces, and as they meet each other for a long time, this melancholy will naturally merge with the soul.

"Fourth brother, this person is Cui Na'er, the bustard who heads the family here. She was very beautiful when she was young. Even now, there are quite a few people who pursue her. It's just that she has always kept herself clean and never had an affair with any man. Later, she was favored by the proprietor, and managed this Jiuyi, and she is not easy to say." Yang Yang on the side had the opportunity to perform, so how could he be polite.He envied his elder sister and younger sister in his heart, they could actually get 1000 taels a month from the sixth brother, but as brothers, they really had nothing.

This made him feel unfair, and at the same time, he also moved his mind, that is to please his sixth younger brother and get more money, at least he should be like his elder sister and younger sisters, and let's talk about it after getting the money.As for being the fourth brother trying to curry favor with the sixth brother, whether he will be looked down upon because of this, then he doesn't care.The sky is big and the earth is big, and the silver is the biggest, isn't it?

"Also, since Cui Na'er is already on the stage, it proves that Miss Xiang is about to appear on the stage. She came up to ask for rewards. This is also called asking for rewards. Whoever gives more money in a while may be punished by Miss Xiang." Favor, if the opportunity is good, it is very possible to be a guest." Yang Yang was still chattering there, and at this time, someone had already thrown silver taels and copper coins onto the stage.

What I want to explain here is that Daming has no bank notes, and even very little silver.

The currency used by the people of the Ming Dynasty was precious banknotes in the early Ming Dynasty, but the precious banknotes depreciated very quickly, so that they were like waste paper, and no one was willing to use them.Private transactions mainly used copper coins and silver. However, before the inflow of overseas silver in the late Ming Dynasty, the silver stock in the Ming Dynasty was limited, and the imperial court banned silver mining, so the silver circulating in the market was not sufficient.

The time when China's first banknotes appeared was around the early years of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (after 1820). This first banknote was called "Rishengchang", and only then did silver tickets appear. .

There is no bank note, which also makes it very inconvenient for everyone to trade when they travel, and they often need to bring a lot of silver or copper coins to trade.Just like now, when rewarding money, trying to attract the attention of Mrs. Xiang, the money flew all over the stage.

Of course, the ones throwing money on the stage are just some small retail investors, who give too little, so they fish in troubled waters, just to prove that they are also generous masters, and they have such a method because they are shy in their pockets.Like a real rich owner, there will be a tortoise who walks to the table with a plate to beg for it. Once the money is received, he will sing loudly to praise the dignity of the tipper.

Naturally, such an approach can also lead to a competitive mechanism, allowing more men to spend a lot of money here, so that they can reap more.

Mr. Gui started to act, and walked to each table, and the money on the copper plate began to increase gradually. Yang Houdong was watching this scene with great interest. These were completely different from what he had imagined in his mind. Naturally, I was a little curious.

While watching and imagining what kind of mechanism would be activated when his restaurant was opened, he was suddenly awakened by singing and drinking. "Thank you, Prince, for rewarding you with 50 taels of silver!"

Chapter 64 Big Tips

Following the voice, Yang Chendong turned his head to look, and saw a handsome young man smilingly putting ten pieces of five taels of silver on the copper plate, his eyes still drifting away from time to time, It seems that he is showing off his tall, rich and handsome to others.

"Sixth brother, only if you reward more than 50 taels of silver will you be sung, and you may be remembered by Mrs. Xiang. Look, how much will we reward in a while?" Noticing that Yang Chendong seemed to be a little moved, the fourth brother on the side Yang Yang said hurriedly.

Anyway, it's Yang Chendong's money, if he doesn't give it to Mrs. Xiang, he may not give it to himself. Even so, it's better to give it more. If it's so ordinary, he will naturally follow suit.

"Oh, is there such a saying?" Yang Chendong smiled when he heard it, and then raised an index finger towards Humang standing behind him.

"100 taels? The sixth brother has courage." Yang Yang thought he understood, and smiled when he saw this gesture, and then sat down on the spot, waiting for the turtle slave to come to his desk and make a good effort limelight.

The turtle slave sang and sang, and then handed the ten pieces of silver on the copper plate and some pennies rewarded by others to another little turtle slave behind him, and then walked to another table.

But it seems that the good luck has run out, or most of the people who came today are cash-strapped, in short, they have not sung, until they came to Yang Chendong's table, Gui Nu lowered his head first to show respect , and then his eyes were placed on the table of the two descendants of the Duke of the Kingdom not far away.

Being able to be a tortoise slave who came to collect reward money, relatively speaking, has some status, and even has some insight.What kind of person can tip how much money, he can naturally see the general idea at a glance.In his eyes, this is not the first time for Yang Yang to come. Is this the first time he has taken such a good seat?But I'm afraid it's just this kind of ability, there may be rewards, but it must not be too much, if not, I will sit in the right seat where the two princes are seated.

Yang Yang knew the result a long time ago, so he has been waiting for Mr. Gui's arrival and behaved well.This also saw all the changes of Mr. Gui. Seeing that the other party did not look at him directly, he couldn't help but sneered, then followed Yang Chendong's way and nodded to Humang standing behind him, saying "" reward!"

Humang would not listen to Yang Yang, even though he was his fourth young master.But there was Yang Chendong's order before, when he heard the reward word, he obediently untied the package on his body, then took out the silver and put it on the copper plate.

Compared with the reward from Prince Wang just now, the silver this time is 20 taels per ingot. This release is one after another, and five ingots come in in a blink of an eye.Yang Yang looked like he was waiting for the turtle slave to sing and drink, but who would have thought that Humang still had no intention of stopping, and continued to "smash" the silver ingots in his hand.

Ten ingots, twenty ingots, thirty ingots, forty ingots

Yang Yang's complexion changed drastically. This has far exceeded a hundred taels of silver, but he still has no intention of stopping. This tiger glow is not stupid, right? What is he going to do?

I want to stop it with a voice, but I am worried that I will lose face because of it.So he had to look at the sixth brother Yang Chendong, but he still couldn't understand it, because his sixth brother was smiling all over his face, as if he didn't see what was going on in front of him, and he was still so calm and breezy. Moved.

Gui Nu was also dumbfounded at the moment.

I thought that the fourth young master of the Yang family would give me three or five taels of silver at most, but who would have imagined that 20 taels of silver would be thrown into the copper plate without blinking. The sound of jingling and knocking was so endless that he had to hold it with both hands, but he still couldn't hold it.Fortunately, the little tortoise slave behind him had some good eyesight, and came up to help early on, and the two of them barely supported it with four hands.

In the past, when someone rewarded money, Guinu just felt happy and excited.Following the rules, he can also get a certain commission, that is to say, the more rewards he receives, the more he will naturally get.

Only today, he felt the pressure, and it was the first time that he had the idea of ​​​​quickly stopping the reward, because his hands really couldn't support it anymore.

The faces of Yang Yang and Gui Nu changed a long time ago.Not only that, the faces of everyone in the hall watching this scene changed.Even Cui Na'er, who was standing on the stage, turned red. She didn't know whether it was panic, excitement, or excitement.

This scene also surprised others.The faces of the two princes also changed after seeing it. When they saw a large number of silver taels appearing on the copper plate, they were seriously looking at Yang Yang and Yang Chendong who was sitting beside him with a calm expression.

Who Yang Yang is, it is natural to know who he often meets here.It is impossible for a down-and-out fourth son of the Yang family to have such financial resources.

Of course, this is not to look down on Yang Yang, because even if he has so much money, he will not spend all of it, he must live on.Not to mention, even if you spend so much money, you may not be able to get the favor of Mrs. Xiang.You know, with the money in hand, I don't know how many concubines I can marry.

There were other people who were also shocked when they watched this scene.There are envy, jealousy, and hatred in his eyes.

It's like the prince who just tipped 50 taels, he had a proud look on his face, but now he really lowered his head.I only rewarded 50 taels and I am so complacent. Compared with the rewards of the Yang family, doesn't it seem too ignorant and ignorant?
