Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

After dinner in the evening, Lu Bocheng really turned over his private money.

Su Qingyu was dumbfounded when she saw it.

"Madam, I gave it all to you." Seeing Su Qingyu's surprised look, Lu Bocheng hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"You really gave it all to me?"

Lu Bocheng couldn't help but nod: "It's true." After thinking about it, he shook his head again.

Su Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, this number is obviously wrong.

Then I heard Lu Bocheng say: "I still have dozens of taels of silver in my purse, but you can't take them all. If someone asks me to treat them to a drink, I won't be able to pay them, how embarrassing it will be." ”

After giving him most of it, the lady wouldn't let him keep even a few dozen taels, right?

But think about it, before he went to the battlefield, he only gave his wife a dozen taels for household expenses. These dozens of taels seemed to be quite a lot.

"Otherwise, should I give you some more? I'll just keep ten taels." Lu Bocheng held the money bag tightly, a little reluctantly.

Su Qingyu's eyes widened: "You are the governor of five states, and you only have two thousand, how many more? In the past few years, you sent home a hundred taels of gold."

"In the past, the imperial court gave me a salary, and I could get some silver rewards from time to time. Now I live on my own, and no one can pay me any money! I can save all this because I am frugal."

Su Qingyu was dumbfounded.

What's happening here? Does being a boss mean you are poorer than your employees? It was simply unheard of and unseen.

"Didn't you still have trophies before, but now they are gone? You have been fighting a lot of battles in recent years."

"Yes, there are, but they are all given to the quartermaster in exchange for silver." Lu Bocheng said so confidently. Is it easy for him to raise an army of hundreds of thousands?

Su Qingyu looked at him blankly, this... what should she say?

I saw him patting his forehead again: "Oh, I forgot that I secretly kept some. Madam, please wait for me, wait for me..." After saying that, he turned around and ran to the inner room.

Su Qingyu also followed in. I was quite looking forward to it.

As soon as I entered the inner room, I saw that guy crawling under the bed! No one can stop him.

"What are you doing!" I had to squat down and ask him.

"Madam, please keep your voice down." Lu Bocheng said to her from under the bed.

Could it be that there is some treasure hidden? A lot more? Su Qingyao couldn't help but keep silent.

After a while, Lu Bocheng came out with a jar from under the bed.

Su Qingyu's eyes lit up.

When Lu Bocheng wiped the jar clean and poured out the contents, Su Qingyu was too lazy to say anything.

A small box of pearls, not too small, each one as big as a finger, but only about ten. A few pieces of jade, the water heads look pretty good. There is also a round jade stone as big as a fist, and the rest are gold in various shapes.

A total of half a jar was filled with these things.

"Why haven't you changed your habit of hiding gold? Which piece of jade is not more valuable than your gold?"

"The jade is valuable, but it can't be sold. These pieces were given back to me by the quartermaster who thought he had lost money on the sale."

That's really hard for you. Tsk tsk...

"Gold can still be used as money. It's a pity that when I escaped from Fengxiang, I didn't take out the jar of gold hidden in the camp. I don't know who got the advantage in the end. It makes my heart hurt to think about it. But, madam, look at this round one The quartermaster said it was chalcedony, and it was very valuable! He was reluctant to sell it when others offered it too low. "

"Except for this gold..." Su Qingnao weighed it briefly and found that it was probably worth a few hundred taels of silver. That box of pearls and jade probably wouldn't be worth much now.

He said: "Put the others back into the jar and bury them back. Leave the gold for the flowers."

"Don't you leave some for my son?"

Su Qingyu glared at him: "You don't have a penny in the house's account now, and you still want to leave it to your son! Don't people in this house need to eat or drink?"

Lu Bocheng touched his nose. Then you should keep the gold for spending, and you can't spend your wife's money.

While putting the jade stones into the jar, he said, "Why don't you bury it back? Madam, why don't you use these pearls and jade stones to make jewelry?"

"I don't want it. I don't know who has used it. It's better to keep it until the world is better in the future and sell it for money."

"That's okay." Lu Bocheng put the jade and pearls back into the jar and buried them under the bed.

Su Qingyao was unable to complain about the channels through which he hid his money. But think about it, there is no safe, the underground under the bed is really the safest place.

Wait for him to come out, dust him off, and ask him: "You usually don't get your salary?"

"No. I have food, drink, and money. How can I get my salary? What's the point of going out of my left pocket and into my right pocket? Besides, if the army has no money, why don't they all ask me for it?" Will I have to spend my personal money at that time?"

Su Qingyu was stunned. What kind of theory is this?

As a boss, if you don’t get a monthly salary, don’t you get a year-end bonus? And how can public and private be confused?

"You can't collect taxes in several states? There's no revenue in the yamen?"

"Yes, there is, but it's not enough to feed and drink hundreds of thousands of troops. Besides, each state has to feed its people, so it's better to save some."

Su Qingyu was completely speechless.

Quite helpless: "I'd better go buy land and shop tomorrow, but I don't dare to expect you to support my family."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bocheng hurriedly grabbed her, put her hand in his palm and rubbed it: "How can I let my wife do the work of supporting the family? I am rich now. Didn't I just give you three thousand taels?"

"Three thousand taels, a lot?"

Lu Bocheng nodded blankly, not much? Madam, you have such a big appetite? I can barely afford it.

"When I left, I only left you a dozen taels. Look, you haven't raised your son yet."

"If I had to rely on your ten taels, we, mother and son, would have starved to death!"

Lu Bocheng didn't dare to look at her, and touched his nose again: "Many people who retired from the army, when they returned home, some of them only had the ten taels of Anjia silver they received from the army."

My three thousand taels is already many times that of others. But Lu Bocheng didn't dare to say this, for fear that his wife would offend him.

Su Qingyu didn't plan to talk to him.

He took his hand out and put it on the table, thinking about buying land and a shop. What kind of business do you want to buy a shop for? When buying land, should I hire people to work it or rent it out?

"Madam..."

"do not bother me."

"How about I get the same salary as them from now on? I'll go to the army tomorrow to talk about it?"

Su Qingyu glared at him: "Are you so poor in these states? How can you still save money without getting a salary for a Jiedushi?"

When Lu Bocheng heard her talking about this, he nodded repeatedly and complained to her.

"I'm so poor. The army was short of money last month. I asked Chuzhou for money. Chuzhou said he had no money, so he only gave me one hundred thousand taels. Even one hundred thousand taels wouldn't last two months. I'm so worried. I thought Chuzhou produces salt and is richer than other states, but I didn’t expect that the government still couldn’t get the money.”

Lu Bocheng looked sad. Are we going to use the captured cities to exchange money with others to feed the army again?

Doesn’t that mean helping others fight for territory?

So sad.

Su Qingyao now knows that modern Yancheng is under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou at this time.

The whole city of Yancheng is called Yancheng because "all around the city are salt fields" so it was renamed Yancheng. The beach area along its coast is hundreds of thousands of hectares, accounting for 70% of the beach area in Jiangsu Province. Yet the Chuzhou Yamen says Chuzhou has no money?
