Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"What happened?"

Mrs. Ding asked amid the smoke as she stir-fried half a pot of wild spicy vegetables.

Miss Ding looked at it carefully and said with a smile:

"This is a military ticket. It is a voucher for settlement when the army purchases various supplies from the private sector when it cannot guarantee the supply of soldiers."

Mrs. Ding answered:

"Can this piece of paper be used as money?"

"Isn't that the treasure note from long ago?

This thing is so worthless that I can’t even find a place to use it! "

Ding Tieniu's eyes widened, isn't it?

Isn't this the same as that treasure note?

The soldier said it nicely, but he gave me a piece of paper that was too hard to wipe my butt!

The daughter has interrupted her mother:

"Mom, this is not a treasure note, this is a military note that can be exchanged at an equal value!

When I was in the city, my grandfather also received 100 taels of military coupons, and he asked his elder brother to take it to the government that day. "

"What? Did the old man receive it too? Or is it 100 taels?"

As soon as Mrs. Ding put down the shovel, her eyes suddenly widened: "What should we do? Our oil shop can only earn a hundred taels of silver a year!"

Ding Tieniu also frowned.

unacceptable!

I'm just working hard, 100 taels, this makes my dad feel so sorry for me!

Miss Ding rolled her eyes helplessly. Her father and mother were so impatient that she hadn't even finished speaking yet!

"Ada, mother, can you just listen to what I have to say!"

The two of them had no choice but to say: "Tell me, what happened next?"

"Grandpa was also very anxious at the time...

Unexpectedly, in just three days, the garrison in the city sent someone with a hundred new pieces of silver to deliver it to us! "

Miss Ding took off a pendant from her neck:

"Look, this is it!"

Miss Ding's pendant is a shiny silver dollar inlaid with jade.

The jade on Miss Ding's pendant is very bright in color, and you can tell at a glance that it is a single jade.

Nanyang has Duyu, one of the four great jades in China.

Although Henan people have always been unpretentious at heart, and even the workmanship of Du jade is majestic and majestic, making Du jade products not exquisite enough, Du jade with unique colors is very famous.

As early as the Shang Dynasty, Nanyang Duyu began to be mined.

However, the single jade in front of me turned into a green leaf. Instead, it was the silver coin embedded in it, which was very eye-catching.

"This..." Ding Tieniu's eyes widened:

"What kind of money is this? It's so beautiful?"

Miss Ding chuckled: "This is the new money issued by His Majesty the Emperor. It's called silver dollar."

"The hundred silver coins that grandpa got are all such exquisite silver coins!

When grandpa saw the silver dollar, he felt that the weight was too small. It only weighed seven cents, so it had no face value of one tael!

So, I wanted to spend it!

It’s just that this money is so exquisite, even better-looking than many ornaments!

In addition, the portrait above is of the emperor, which is very rare!

Grandpa only left ten of them and asked a jade carver to make them into pendants for ten of our cousins ​​to wear.

For the remaining ninety pieces, grandpa took them to the pawn shop and asked if they could exchange them for money. "

"What happened next? Has it been replaced?"

Ding Tieniu asked hurriedly.

Without waiting for his daughter's answer, he directly asserted: "It says one tael on it. If it's not enough, that's not a bad thing!"

"Ada, you are thinking too much!"

Miss Ding held out three fingers:

"The court officials in Huizhou had never seen such exquisite silver coins, and they immediately decided to make a death bet with Grandpa at the price of two taels of silver per coin!

Who is our grandfather? No one can be fooled!

Grandpa was about to leave immediately. Later, Chaofeng kept raising the price, and finally exchanged it for 300 taels of silver! "

"What!"

Mrs. Ding was shocked:

"This silver dollar that was worth 90 taels was actually exchanged for 300 taels of silver?"

"Snapped!"

Ding Tieniu suddenly gave himself a mouthful:

"Damn it, if I hadn't hesitated and agreed to what the military judge said on the spot, wouldn't I have been able to provide food for the army!

In this way, we can earn more than a dozen silver coins. Let's take it to a pawn shop as a mortgage. This is not a lot of money! "

"Snapped!"

He gave himself another big bag:

"This is what our family has been extracting for a year, and we can't earn it without eating or drinking!"

When Miss Ding saw her father slapping her in the face, she was regretting that she had lost an opportunity to make a fortune, and said hurriedly:

"Why don't you go ask Ada?"

Mrs. Ding was a little hesitant and felt sorry for her husband. She flinched a little:

"Master, since we missed it, it proves that we don't have this destiny. In my opinion, let's forget it. After all, it's the army!"

Mrs. Ding looked at her daughter again:

"Girl, don't encourage your elders. If you have any shortcomings, our family will collapse!"

"Mother~!"

Miss Ding drawled out:

"You are in the countryside and don't know how well disciplined the imperial army is."

"Grandpa originally thought he was blind.

Unexpectedly, within three days, people sent money.

After grandpa received the money, he wanted to give others some money for tea, but the soldiers refused! "

"And other things?"

Ding Tieniu's eyes widened.

Miss Ding nodded and said:

"I have said that His Majesty the Emperor has set a rule that no matter whether he is an official or a soldier, as long as he is found guilty of corruption and bribery, he will be dismissed from his position!"

Mrs. Ding burst into laughter:

"Girl, you still have too little knowledge. How can an official not be greedy? Besides, even if an official is not greedy, losing his official position has nothing to do with being a soldier!"

Miss Ding was very anxious. She was in the city, but she had heard too much about His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone said that the Emperor was a good Emperor and that he came here for the sake of the people.

However, for a while, she could not convince her mother. After thinking about it, she could only say:

"Mom, do you know that Mr. Peng from Pengjia Town!"

Mrs. Ding's face changed:

"That's the emperor's fault. Mr. Peng is a well-known good man. He builds bridges and paves roads and is kind to our people!

The emperor destroyed everyone's family. Look at what kind of person the emperor is!

I said, you girl, you just don’t have enough knowledge. When it comes to reading, you can’t make yourself stupid by reading it! "

"Girl, it's a good thing that the old man wants you to study. Our Ding family has been in the city for so many years, and it's time for us to make progress.

If you study, you will be able to marry into an official family in the future, and our business will be guaranteed..."

"Mother~!"

Miss Ding was shy and anxious, and hurriedly argued:

"Don't listen to those talkative women. Think about it, that man named Peng has been an official for three or four years and has occupied tens of thousands of acres of land. How can he be a good official!

Besides, His Majesty the Emperor killed all the people named Peng. Didn’t this mean that all the land was distributed to the landless people?
