Chapter 44: Use Money

"When you go back to your highness, the emperor will make a decision for all the princes every month. With the monthly rules that Qingzhu and Huang Xiaolai and Mrs. Ya brought to Your Highness, all gold, silver and money are now equivalent to silver, which should be 1,600 taels!"

Although the monthly purchases in the royal palace are Qingzhu and Huang Xiao, the person who has always managed the silver tuition is Chen Yanshou, the close servant of the royal palace, so he is naturally aware of wealth. Moreover, because there were examples of King Qi before, Chen Yanshou was a little careful when he spoke to Ji Xing.

Indeed, King Qi had no idea about silver at the beginning. Whenever he knew, he would always spend a lot of money when he went out to visit the city. Fortunately, he met a child of a local wealthy family and actually hit King Qi.

Because everyone was playing in the same garden at that time, the King of Qi originally wanted to give me some rewards, but the top card in the garden at that time. Unexpectedly, this rich clan was also present with his friends at that time. Not only did the other party not give the King of Qi face, but the other party was really not short of money.

Taking five thousand taels of silver in front of King Qi, he directly gave the top card to the temporary store, which really hit the King of Qi's confidence. Chen Yanshou's case naturally would not stand up for the King of Qi, and it would not even be easy to offend the wealthy family directly. After all, if Li Yu knew, it would inevitably cause trouble!

However, because of this blow, King Qi knew that his wealth in Qichang Mansion was really pitiful. From then on, he rarely went out, which seemed to be a good thing in Chen Yanshou! Unexpectedly, Ji Xing asked about money again today, which naturally made him be careful.

Even though he had yesterday and today, Chen Yanshou knew that it was extremely difficult to change his previous temperament of King Qi. So his thinking was naturally still in that impression! He was afraid that King Qi would get angry for a moment, so he asked these people to take out all the money!

"So much?,,,,,," After a few days of wandering around, Jixing had some understanding of Qi Changfu's consumption. When he heard this number, he was naturally shocked, but naturally he didn't say it out.

After all, it comes from different eras. Obviously, the value of this silver quantity is naturally very different from Chen Yanshou and Qingzhu.

Because the value of silver in later generations ranges from several to dozens of yuan. One tael of silver in this era is about five hundred yuan, but if this thousand six hundred taels of silver is converted into a real thing, it is obviously not a small amount!

The temporary wealth of a prince of the capital seems to be quite small in the future, but the reason why the lucky star did not say it at this time is because the money is actually not much in the Qi Palace!

Because after two years in Qichang Mansion, King Qi had no other ability, and had squandered a lot of money! However, if you really follow this identity, you wouldn't spend much money in Lingnan. After all, there are palaces made of silver in the Xingwang Mansion Palace.

But if you think about it carefully, the royal family is not much. Now, because of the things you keep in your hands, there is also the monthly routine given to the King of Qi in private. Speaking of this, that lady is really good to King of Qi!

At that time, Yafure asked the two palace maids to follow Qichang Mansion to serve, but brought a lot of gold and silver for personal purposes. Chen Yanshou naturally knew about this, but unfortunately, they were basically squandered by the King of Qi.

So just thinking about it, Chen Yanshou felt a pain in his flesh!

The prices in Qichang Mansion in recent years are naturally incomparable to those in the Xing Prince’s Mansion, but after a few days of rebirth, I naturally understood it in my heart.

Because in the east and west markets, one tael of silver can be bought, and in the later generations, we wait for about 300 kilograms of rice! In fact, modern ordinary rice is basically more than one yuan. So this thousand six hundred taels of silver seems to be a lot, but it is indeed a lot.

But Ji Xing also learned that the servants, kitchen, grooms and wards in the Qi Palace alone had a team of dozens of people. Usually, there were no people, and there were a lot of people when receiving the salary, which required money!

Although the cost of the King of Qi Mansion is actually very cheaper than other places in Qichang Mansion, the money around him is only enough for ordinary expenses. Even people like Chen Yanshou and Qingzhu who follow the King of Qi by their side are also people who have to get wages.

Not to mention that each person needs dozens of taels of wages per year, at least ten or twenty taels of taels still need to be paid. However, because these people have always followed around to serve the King of Qi, they rarely have other expenses, and they have saved the King of Qi a lot of food and drink.

What's more, there are many food, drink, defecation and urination in the palace every year, so just thinking about this money is actually just a good-looking appearance. When you need to use the money, you naturally have to distribute it.

Looking at Ji Xing's wealthy appearance, although he had not asked for money yet, his intention was already very obvious. So everyone stared at him, and in the end he was helpless! Facing Ji Xing's expression, it was hard for the three of them to speak directly.

When I heard this amount, it seems that although it is a huge sum of money, if I spend it alone, it may be able to spend some time. The key is that the money involves a lot of people and even things that are already related to, it seems that there are really a lot of things, so how can I move around?

So the lucky star who understands it will naturally not be as willful as King Qi. Even if he has his own ideas, he can only smile bitterly in his heart in the end, but he said carelessly: "That's all?"

Chen Yanshou and the other three were hard to talk about. After all, no one would embezzle these three people. When they came to Qichang Mansion, Qingzhu and the other two brought more money. However, in less than two years, the King of Qi had squandered a lot.

If the amount of money that Mrs. Ya had not squandered was the amount of money that King Qi had given up, it would have been a bit objective now, but now it has been spent by King Qi. Besides, it was obviously not practical before! So everyone looked at the lucky star and didn't know what to say for the time being.

Even though he knew this situation, Ji Xing would not give up so much. At least he thought about his needs in the past two days, and after pondering, he said with some discussion: "This time, I need to use at least a few hundred taels of taels first when doing things. I wonder how much I can get?"

The three of them looked at each other, but in the end Chen Yanshou did not speak, but instead looked at Qingzhu. Qingzhu was a little nervous, but he didn't even speak, and then turned around and went straight into the room.

Ji Xing was slightly stunned, then Qingzhu came out again, holding a small bag of Shu silk and said, "This is the 1,000 taels of silver prepared by the wife for Your Highness this year, and Li Changshi just brought it back! I dared to leave three hundred reserved for use, and the remaining seven hundred taels will be taken to save some flowers!"

This is considered to be the money that has not been recorded, and it is also the private money given to King Qi by Mrs. Ya of Jingcheng. It is obviously not warmed up in Qingzhu's hands. Because Li Yu had just returned, Ji Xing came over to ask for money.
