Chapter 501 Take the horse to the bird
Eunuch Wei was not acting like a scoundrel, but was asking for the compensation with confidence.
The country is in front and the country is behind.
What is a family? The descendants are the family.
If there are no descendants to form a family, how can the country come from?
Therefore, Eunuch Wei became a eunuch, which theoretically cut off the roots of his descendants, making the family, country and the world missing the most important link - the family.
This matter, to be small, destroyed the Emperor Wei personally, and to be large, it is likely that the Ming Dynasty and the country's foundation would be destroyed.
Without a small family, there will be no big country!
How could it be known that the descendants of Eunuch Wei did not have a general, a general, a great governor, a great craftsman, a great lawyer, or a big prostitute.
The family and country are not trivial. For practical reasons, Eunuch Wei only demands compensation for money. It is already reasonable, law, and conscience.
Otherwise, if you smash your horse factory and rob you up, who can do anything to him?
If you complain, you can, all the roads lead to the capital, you can just go and sue.
If you win, he will lose.
Things in the world are always reasonable.
Without cause, there will be no result.
Eunuch Wei comes to your horse factory, but there is no cause and effect.
Director Yang was weak all over, and he was wrapped tightly under the quilt, and the bottom was also cold.
He realized that he was about to face a sky-high compensation bill.
He needs five thousand taels of a good leg, how much does a lost bird cost?
I can't even think about it!
Looking around the hall, there were all thieves and eunuchs who were thieves and accomplices. No one was around, so it felt like he had no relatives in the world and the whole world was defeated.
Compensation...can't afford it.
Director Yang had no other thoughts, his mind was blank and his body began to shake.
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei couldn't bear it. He was honest and afraid that Director Yang would be confused because of his excessive fear and would not be able to exercise his normal civil abilities. So he shouted in his ear and gave him a hammer price - 10,000 taels.
No bargaining.
Ten thousand taels is more than 10,000 taels, which is scary, but it is pitiful to see that ten thousand taels can buy a lively bird?
How much trauma is there for an incomplete man? How can heal ten thousand taels of taels of inner trauma?
Well, others may not be able to do it, Eunuch Wei is really OK.
He likes to use money to solve problems.
Of course, the premise is that he is willing.
The compensation of 10,000 taels must be far beyond Director Yang's psychological bottom line. To be honest, although he has been a factory manager for 17 years and has made a lot of money, he really thinks that the cash flowing in his hands will not exceed 10,000 taels as a whole. Most of the money he earned was asked to take back his hometown to buy a house and land.
One leg asked him for five thousand, and a bird asked for another ten thousand, which totaled 15,000 taels. If he paid for this amount, he would probably have to sell thousands of acres of land.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
Director Yang simply gave up struggling and wanted to sit on the ground like a dead fish.
However, his body was wrapped in a quilt, and his legs could not bend. He had to look at the thief eunuch who was not forced to look at the face of death with pain and stiffness.
Attitude is also written on your face - if you want money or die.
You little horse thief really want me to compensate you. At worst, you can cut the bird to you!
He really can make such a cruel thing. He is fifty-two this year anyway, so that thing won't last long.
Although he was unwilling to admit that he was extorting Director Yang, Eunuch Wei obviously knew the feeling of being blackmailed.
The two unlucky guys Hu Guang and Sha Qiandao in front of Zuo'an Gate ruined his five bronze sisters' dreams.
Therefore, when he saw Director Yang's expression that would do whatever he wanted, he felt that he had done something.
"Our family knows that you can't afford 50,000 taels, but it doesn't matter, just..."
My bloody lesson was just over the New Year's Eve, and Eunuch Wei couldn't bear to Director Yang's loss of hope in life. He thought about it over and over again and pointed out an actionable way to compensate him.
"What? My father-in-law wants my horse?" Director Yang was stunned.
"Yeah, horse." Eunuch Wei nodded, "How about it based on market price?"
Director Yang looked hesitant, but he was not worried about how to explain the horse to the thief, but was considering how much they would pay the horses to the thief at a price that they asked for.
The price of horses in the world is not high, and there were cases last year.
It is said that the three markets in Datong Desheng Fort and Xuanfu Zhangjiakou were sold in Zhangjiakou. A total of 4,089 horses were replaced by the Mongolians. The average price of each horse was 7 taels and 7 cents of silver, but in fact, the transaction price of less than 7 taels of gold was given to the Mongolians.
Afterwards, the official in charge of the traded market sold 900 horses of the slightly inferior quality to the merchants, and each horse was quoting 920 and 300 cents, making a total profit of nearly 2,000 taels. The merchant also distributed these horses to various places for twice the price, making nearly 10,000 taels of profit. This matter was reported to the court by the Datong Inspectorate, and the officials of Datong and Xuanfu, who were in charge of the traded market, were dismissed many people for this.
During the Jiajing period before the Wanli and Longqing, horse prices reached an average of fifteen taels per horse, which indirectly reflected the border defense capabilities of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
In a word, when the Ming army was strong, the price of horses obtained in Yishi was low. On the contrary, when the Mongols were in great power, the price of horses was high. In the later Chongzhen period, in order to form the so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry, the price of horses purchased from the Mongolians in the Ming Dynasty was almost more than three times that of the Wanli period. In this way, the Mongols were not happy to sell them.
In the mainland, horse prices are even higher.
Director Yang, as the head of the horse factory, naturally understood that the current price of horses is about twenty taels per horse.
If the horses are charged to the thief eunuch at this price, then the horse factory will have to slaughter five hundred horses at a time.
He couldn't bear this.
Because the war horses in the Suning Horse Factory, together with the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, are only more than 900.
Fortunately, Eunuch Wei also considered that he could not emptie the horse factory, so he gave Director Yang another choice, which was to hire him the excess factory workers of the horse factory according to the standard of matching five horses with one groom.
A groom can count based on two years of working hours. Not only can Eunuch Wei give the groom a salary of thirty taels a year, but he can also pay the compensation at a price of fifty taels per person.
This way things will be much easier to do.
In order to send the plague god away as soon as possible, Director Yang reluctantly agreed to the compensation terms.
There are some idle people in the horse factory, just like the garrison. In the early years, those garrisons had already evolved into generations of horse workers. However, officers and managers became landlords. They instinctively made money by oppressing horse workers, and drank soldiers and blood as if they were out of the way.
For this reason, many macabre children secretly work outside, otherwise they would not be able to maintain the life of the whole family.
One person can get a compensation of fifty taels and give these people an extra road of life. Director Yang thinks this is also a great good policy before he left office.
At this point, he had no other choice.
If he doesn't agree, he can predict the consequences.
In the end, Eunuch Wei got his wish and got four thousand taels of cash silver, three hundred war horses, and sixty grooms from Director Yang.
Eunuch Wei is not very concerned about silver. He likes war horses and grooms, especially the latter.
