Chapter 006
Liu Mingyu thought, and a 50-tallele silver snowflake fell into his hands.
Feeling the cold snowflake silver, Liu Mingyu handed the silver to Yang Xianxian.
Yang Xianxian showed a surprised expression: "My husband, this is..."
"Shhh... don't say anything"
Yang Xianxian looked secretly happy. Although Yang Xianxian was born as an official, his father had never given her so much money. In the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of silver was quite good. According to the purchasing power of grain, one tael of silver was almost equivalent to 704 yuan.
Fifty taels of silver are more than 35,000 yuan.
Liu Mingyu is now particularly eager to open the mall to see what can be purchased in the first-level mall. So he looked at Liu Fugui and said, "Fugui, the food has not been distributed yet, right?"
"No, there are more than twelve stones left!"
"Okay, you can find a few people, make a big pot, cook porridge at the entrance of the village, and release all the food!"
Liu Fugui was also very anxious: "But the young master!"
"Shut up, let me talk to you again, I'll slap you!"
Yang Xianxian looked at Liu Mingyu's back and complained secretly in her heart.
She originally thought that Liu Ming was not stupid, but now she seems to be too young.
I almost believed that Liu Ming met.
Liu Mingyu is actually not stupid, so what is stupid?
Yang Xianxian said with some distress: "My husband, this is seed grain!"
Liu Mingyu walked to the warehouse next door, grabbed a handful of grain and came to Yang Xianxian: "Look, what kind of grain is the color of these grains? What good seedlings can such grain grow?"
Yang Xianxian said: "Isn't the food like this?"
"Of course not!"
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "A real good seed can harvest more than 1,000 kilograms of grain per acre of land!"
"How is this possible!"
"Let's see, when the spring is coming next year, I will let you see how I harvest 1,000 kilograms of grain per acre!"
Yang Xianxian felt that Liu Ming was whimsical.
Daming Prefecture City.
In the backyard of the prefect's yamen and the atrium hall, dozens of tables were placed, with a few exquisite side dishes on it, and dozens or hundreds of gentry, landlords or merchants were sitting upright.
After everyone arrived, the concierge sang: "The magistrate is here!"
Liu Jinxian, the gentry, landlords and powerful men, stood up together and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng: "Greetings to the magistrate!"
"Sit, sit, everyone sit!"
Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "Sir, great neighbors, our mansion holds a banquet today. There are few dishes and few wines, so I hope we can forgive it!"
"You are kind to you, magistrate!"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "I will not go around the circle anymore. I believe you have heard that Jiannu is now wandering thousands of miles away, bypassing the unbreakable Guanning defense line, and breaking through the pass from Da'ankou and Hongshankou, raging in the capital, sieging the city and plundering the land, and being unstoppable. The army of all walks of life is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and dare not leave the city... The imperial army has been newly defeated, the morale is unstable, and the morale is low. Now the capital is in danger, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger."
Speaking of this, the gentry whispered and talked.
"As the saying goes, eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king, our government is a court official and has no choice but to recruit young men and women to go north to serve the king. However, it is hard for a good wife to cook without rice. She has no soldiers and lacks armor. If she is rewarded, how could the young men and women fight to the death? I hope you all donate generously."
When Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, the situation was in an instant.
Almost all the gentry, landlords, including Liu Jinxian, came Xu Shu to Cao's camp without saying a word.
Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have expected this situation, and his eyes were fixed on everyone, and all the gentry of Daming Mansion were looking at a middle-aged man who was on the throne.
This man was no other person, Huang Hengruo, the eldest son of Huang Liji, who was paid down by the former cabinet. Huang Liji entered the cabinet in the sixth year of Tianqi and became the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall. Later, he proposed to support King Xin as the emperor.
To be fair, Huang Liji has made great contributions to Chongzhen, but in order to eliminate the influence of Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen ordered Huang Liji to retire. Now the Huang family is still the reputation of Daming Mansion.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Huang Hengruo stood up with a sharp forehead and said, "Mr. Lu is clear and honest. My father is an honest official and is willing to help Lord Lu. However, he has the heart but is not enough!"
Liu Jinxian heard this and began to curse in his heart: "Where is the face?"
Who doesn’t know that the Huang family in Daming Prefecture is rich?
The old Huang family house covers an area of 100 acres. At least 500,000 mu of fertile land in Yuancheng County and Daming Prefecture belong to the Huang family. If Liu Jinxian is a little rich man, it is not enough to put it in front of Huang family.
When Huang made such a statement, all the gentry knew what to do.
"Mr. Lu, you don't need to say anything more. You should know that last year, our Daming Prefecture had a severe drought, and our family had no surplus food and we had no money!"
"Yes, we have no money!"
"Besides, going north to serve the king is the thing that the military men do. Lord Lu, why should you get into this muddy water?"
"Why do you ask us for money?"
At this moment, Gu Changshun quietly walked to Liu Jinxian and whispered softly beside Liu Jinxian: "Master, the young master is sick and is scattering food in the groove!"
"What?"
When Liu Jinxian heard this, he suddenly stood up and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Mr. Lu, if you have something to do in Caomin's family, please leave first!"
Without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to answer, Liu Jinxian got up and left.
I was afraid that there would be someone who took the lead in everything. Lu Xiangsheng asked the gentry and landlords of Daming Mansion to raise funds. No one wanted to pay, but no one dared to make Lu Xiangsheng's bad habit.
"Collection of the county magistrate, destroying the prefect" is not what it means to say.
Now, with Liu Jinxian taking the lead, the others stood up one after another.
"Mr. Lu, the old wife at home is not in good health! Let's leave first!"
"Mr. Lu, the student concubine celebrates her birthday..."
"Mr. Lu, Caomin's home..."
Everyone left the seat one after another with various excuses.
A banquet ended unhappily.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the direction where Liu Jinxian left.
The staff around him hurriedly said, "The one who took the lead is Liu Jinxian, Yuancheng County!"
"Liu Jinxian?"
Lu Xiangsheng remembers this name.
Liu Jinxian left the prefect's prefect's office and was blown by the cold wind and woke up instantly.
It doesn't matter if he leaves, but he offended Lu Xiangsheng to death.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu!"
A gentleman with a sharp-mouthed mouth and monkey cheeks caught up with Liu Jinxian and gave Liu Jinxian a thumbs up.
Liu Jinxian looked helpless: "It's bad now!"
Yellow mud is applied to the crotch.
Liu Jinxian wanted to go back and explain to Lu Xiangsheng.
However, he just turned around.
Huang Hengruo came over and patted Liu Jinxian on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, my father was talking about you a while ago. Come and accompany him when you have time!"
Liu Jinxian is now a mute person who eats yellow lotus and cannot describe his suffering.
Huang gave him some sweet dates to eat, so that he could continue to fight with Lu Xiangsheng.
Liu Jinxian squeezed out a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
