Chapter 77

Guarding the eunuch's mansion and living room.

Zhang Zian asked in a dark voice: "Where is silver? Where is silver now?"

Zhao Santai said with a bitter face: "Dadonald, the money has been purchased. Even if the general is willing to sell it, it will not be able to become money for a while? But the chaos in the Daying of the city will not wait. There are already many soldiers in the army who surrendered from the bandit army. If this really causes trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Zian said coldly: "Now I know it's amazing, why did you go there long ago?"

Zhao Santai whispered: "General Mo is worried that the matter will get bigger and bigger. This group of rioters cannot see money. Maybe they will be besieged Datong City. If this group of rioters really enter Datong City, then you, and General Mo can't get rid of it."

"Stop!" Zhang Zi'an said in a dark voice, "Zhao Santai, what do you mean? When things come, do you want to bring disaster to our family? You are the deputy general of Datong Town and the general manager, and you are also the one who is greedy for money. You can only be the one who cannot escape the relationship. This matter has nothing to do with our family. Don't think about pulling our family into the water."

Zhao Santai was so hatred in his heart. It was true that he had greedy for 50,000 taels of silver, but he knew about Zhang Zi'an. It could even be said that the two of them had conspired, because 30,000 taels of them were used to respect Zhang Zi'an. But when things came to an end, Zhang Zi'an, the bastard, put the blame on him alone.

"How dare you have this intention?" Zhao Santai didn't dare to argue, so he could only cry out, "Father-in-law, you should hurry up and talk about what to do about this matter. Should you raise money to comfort or to mobilize troops to suppress it, you should give me a clear word."

"Transfer troops to suppress?" Zhang Zi'an said gloomyly, "Zhao Santai, are you thinking about it? Where can I go to transfer troops? Don't tell us that we can transfer troops from Shaanxi. Are you thinking about this and letting Master Wansui know about it, and let Master Wansui transfer the camp from the capital to Datong?"

"this……"

Zhao Santai shivered and said nothing.

If this matter really alarms the capital and lets Wansui know, then Zhao Santai, the deputy general, is over, and even if he doesn't have a good head, he has to move! It seems that this matter really cannot be dispatched to suppress it, so he can only raise money to comfort it, but for a moment, Zhao Santai really can't raise much money.

Zhao Santai said with a bitter face: "But, where can I get the money from the general?"

Zhang Zian said coldly: "Zhao Santai, our family will give you a clear path. You have to ask your son-in-law for this matter!"

"Wang Pu?" Zhao Santai said slutty, "You ask me to beg him?"

"Why, Zhao Santai can't beg for the prince-consort?" Zhang Zi'an said, "Do you feel wronged or insult you?"

Zhao Santai said silently.

Zhang Zian continued, "To be honest, even the Dian Wang can't afford much money now. Only the Prince Consort or the Wang family has a large amount of cash. Besides, the Prince Consort is the general of Datong Town who has just stepped down. He still has prestige in the hearts of the mutiny soldiers. If you want to appease the mutiny soldiers, you can only ask him."

Zhao Santai said: "But during the day, I was in Yihong Courtyard, and the last time I had an unhappy relationship with my husband. Do you think I will go to him at this time, will he see me?"

"What you said is reasonable." Zhang Zi'an nodded and said angrily, "It seems that our family has to come forward."

Zhao Santai said with relief: "I am a laborious father-in-law."

Zhang Zian glanced at Zhao Santai coldly and said in a dark voice: "Look at what you are doing, and we will also let our family come forward to wipe your butt."

■■■

Wang Family Courtyard, Wang Pu Warm Pavilion.

Zhen Youcai said confidently: "If the villain expected it was not bad, Zhang Zian would have arrived now."

"Third Master." As soon as Zhen Youcai finished speaking, the voice of the pillar sounded outside the warm pavilion, "Eunuch Zhang came to visit the mansion and said he wanted to ask for something."

Wang Pu and Zhen Youcai looked at each other and smiled, saying loudly: "Zhuzi, please invite Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Zi'an didn't wait in the living room for too long. Wang Pu came soon. Zhang Zi'an stood up and fisted and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, I'm so embarrassed. This cold day is midnight, but I still disturb your dream."

"Where is this, father-in-law?" Wang Pu said with a smile, "Please sit down."

After Zhang Zi'an got off his seat, Wang Pu said to Zhuzi again: "Zhuzi, why don't you go and build a pot of good tea for Eunuch Zhang?"

"Why."

Zhuzi responded and quickly prepared tea.

Then Zhang Zian said, "Mr. Prince Consort, something big happened."

Wang Pu said: "Oh, what big thing happened?"

Zhang Zi'an briefly explained the incident of the border soldiers making trouble. As for Zhao Santai's greed for money, he naturally missed the joints of Zhao Santai's greed for money. After that, he looked heartbroken and stomped his feet and said, "Zhao Santai's useless thing is usually regarded as a personal person, but it is really at the critical moment, but it has become a mud that cannot be supported by the wall. Prince Concubine, you have been a general in Datong for three years. The soldiers of the border soldiers in the camp are your old subordinates. Now only if you come forward can you suppress them."

Just as Zhuzi brought the tea up, Wang Pu pretended not to hear it and said to Zhang Zi'an: "Eunuch Zhang, please have tea. This is the best Yuqian Longjing sold from Hangzhou."

Zhang Zi'an said anxiously: "Oh, my son-in-law, maybe the mutiny soldiers will surround Datong City before dawn. How can we have the heart to drink tea?"

"Eunuch Zhang." Wang Pu stacked the teacup and said solemnly, "Although the court is still in the 100-day mourning period, you must not interfere with local military affairs according to the law, but Eunuch Zhang said everything to this point, and it is unavoidable to appease the mutiny soldiers. However, the mutiny of the border troops arose due to the owed wages. If the court or local vassal treasury cannot make up for the arrears of military salaries, this matter will probably not be taken."

"Oh." Zhang Zi'an sighed and said, "This is another thing our family asks for the prince-consort."

Wang Pu said in surprise: "Don't you want to borrow money, are you?"

Zhang Zian said: "It is just that I want to borrow money. Now, only the prince consort in Datong City can take out a large amount of cash."

Wang Pu couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Only the shameless old castrator like Zhang Zian could say this shameless thing!

In Datong City, not only Wang Pu has cash in his hands, but also the rich and rich Prince Dai, but also the greedy Zhao Santai, don’t talk about him for now. Just Zhang Zi'an, the old castrated man, Wang Pu sent him a total of 50,000 taels of snowflakes yesterday morning. Could it be that the money evaporated out of thin air?

In this era, there was no Shanxi bill to exchange for the world. Money houses in various places had just appeared, and the scale was very small. They only operated small-scale business of exchanged for copper coins. Even silver notes had not appeared yet. Naturally, large amounts of silver could not be exchanged for silver bills that could be carried with them. Zhang Zian, an old castrated person, held a large amount of silver, just wanted to keep it to purchase the land industry. The Wang family was selling the industry. The snowflakes given out by 50,000 taels will be returned to the Wang family's bank deposit in a blink of an eye.

As for the land industry purchased by old castrates, the army of thieves will disappear in an instant.

Wang Pu's thoughts on his mind, but said, "Eunuch Zhang, I did take back a batch of property from Liaodong, and all of them were exchanged into cash in the capital. Long lively, I did not use this silver as a treasury. I didn't want to hide it from my father-in-law. The total amount of silver is more than 1.25 million taels."

Hearing such a huge amount, Zhang Zi'an's eyes lit up instantly.

Wang Pu continued: "However, just taking care of the capital officials, it cost 500,000 taels, and the remaining 750,000 taels were transported back to Datong. The 600,000 taels had been issued military pay and pensions for the soldiers who went to fight against Liaodong, and 50,000 taels were used to mourn my father and ordinary household expenses. At present, there were only more than 10,000 taels of silver left in the warehouse."

There was another sum of nearly 80,000 taels of silver that Wang Pu didn't say, and there was no need to say it, because the money was just used to manage Zhang Zi'an and the eunuch in the three weapons workshops.

Wang Pu said: "Eunuch Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really can't come up with more cash."

Zhang Zi'an pulled down his old face and asked sinisterly: "Can you think of other ways?"

Wang Pu did not say anything, but Zhen Youcai's voice came from behind the screen: "Of course there is a solution, there is also a silver, it depends on whether you dare to take it."

Next, it's time for Zhen Youcai to appear.
