I was a prince in ancient times

"On the first day of the new year, bring 100 taels for the prince." Lu Chengjie glanced at Xie Anlan's face, wanting to pinch it to see if he had plastered his face.

Lu Chuyi took the lead.

Xie Anlan originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect Lu Chengke to be so generous, borrowing as soon as he said it, without ambiguity at all, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness thinks it's too little." Seeing that Xie Anlan was holding the money and not talking, Lu Chengjia asked again in his heart.

Xie Anlan came back to her senses, "No, no, that's enough. You are really generous. You pay 100 taels for every shot."

Xie Anlan knew very well in her heart that 100 taels was definitely not a small amount of money in ancient times, and it was considered very benevolent for Lu Chengjiao to be so generous after only knowing him for a day.

Lu Chengjie smiled reassuringly, "Your Highness, if you are short of money in the future, you can talk to Cheng Jie."

Xie Anlan was stunned. What kind of fairy partner is this? Look at what he said, why did he hear it so comfortably.

"Thank you." With money in his pocket, Xie Anlan finally had the confidence to experience the prosperity of ancient times.

Seeing Xie Anlan leave the Chen Palace, Lu Chuyi couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't you worried that the prince will go to gamble again?"

"It's okay, I trust Your Highness." Lu Chengjia said with certainty.

Xie Anlan went out, but she didn't go to the gambling house street, but turned to the market instead.

The bazaar is not far from Chenwang Mansion, you can see the bustling streets after leaving Wangfu Street and turning eastward for about a hundred steps.

Although the Yong Dynasty has been fighting every year in recent years, and the people have suffered unspeakably, fortunately, the emperor is still diligent, and the suffering of the war has not yet spread to the surroundings of the imperial capital, so that the people around the imperial capital still live and work in peace and contentment.

Walking through the empty Wangfu Street, Xie Anlan was in the bustling city full of traffic and crowds.

On the wide Qingshiban street, small vendors from south to north are either carrying goods, or driving ox carts, and leading mules while walking and selling their goods to the pedestrians beside them.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops dotted with shops, and shop signs are stretched among the green tiles and red walls, and the end of the street cannot be seen at a glance.

The street is full of hustle and bustle, except for the antique background, it is almost the same as the prosperous commercial street in later generations.

Xie Anlan was not in a hurry to go shopping, but first took the bank notes to the bank to exchange them into silver coins.

Fortunately, Yongchao's characters are not in seal script, but somewhat in Song style. Most of the characters are recognized after scanning the shop sign at a glance. There are a few that I don't recognize, and I can recognize them after looking for the memory of the original owner. Otherwise, Xie Anlan felt that I might be really To be illiterate.

After all, when Xie Anlan came through time travel, his first reaction would still be based on his own consciousness. Only when his subjective consciousness was not strong would he slowly recall the consciousness of the original owner. This would cause Xie Anlan's reaction to be slower than normal people Last beat.

Fortunately, there were not many words he didn't know, so Xie Anlan walked to the bank while fumbling to learn.

There was no royal bank in the Dayong Dynasty, and the existing banks were all private banks, which were generally only used for business and lending. No matter whether they were depositing or withdrawing, they needed to charge management fees and handling fees, so only some businessmen or people who were not short of money liked banking. People still like to dig a hole in the ground to bury the money and keep it.

When Xie Anlan walked out of the bank, she wished she had money in the future, dug a hole to bury the money, and never saved it in the bank again.

It was too dark.

100 taels of silver bills can only be exchanged for 90 taels of silver.

Originally, only 5.00% was charged for withdrawing money, but when Xie Anlan took a bank note from another bank to withdraw money from this bank, an extra 5.00% was deducted.

If he had known it was so dark, he shouldn't have been lazy, and he would have saved some money by shopping around to find the bank listed on the bank note.

They all suffered from lack of common sense.

But when he left the bank with the silver, Xie Anlan was even more unhappy. The 90 taels of silver was close to eight catties, and it was packed in a small burlap bag. He was carrying tired hands and shoulders, feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing that the rich people who come to the bank to deposit and withdraw money all bring a personal servant who is responsible for helping to withdraw money, don't mention how envious they are.

In order to reduce the burden, Xie Anlan had no choice but to find a shop and was going to spend some money first.

Xie Anlan, who had eaten cold steamed buns for three days, the first thing she thought of when she had money was to improve her own food.

It just so happened that there was a rice store next to the bank, and Xie Anlan went in with a heavy load of money.

I spent a tael of silver to buy two shi rice, which weighed about 360 kilograms, and two shi weighed about [-] jin.

And when Xie Anlan learned from the conversation with the shopkeeper that the yield of one mu of high-quality land was almost two shi, Xie Anlan understood how much the purchasing power of a tael of silver was in Yongchao.

Thinking of Lu Chengjie lending him 100 taels of silver as soon as he made a move, which is equivalent to the output of a hundred acres of top-grade farmland, two words flashed before Xie Anlan's eyes, local tyrants and rich people!

Is there still time for him to go back and hug his thigh?

The store owner is very discerning, seeing that Xie Anlan is wearing a python suit, he can tell that he is not an ordinary person, so he said calmly, "Guest officer, I saw you came empty-handed, and you didn't bring a helper, two stones of rice is not light , how about leaving an address, and I'll let the guy deliver it to your house."

Xie Anlan had no choice but to happily leave the address, collect the paperwork, and continue his journey of spending money.

Walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder street, Xie Anlan didn't feel crowded. Looking back, she saw that the vendors next to her were actively avoiding him. She looked down at her clothes and knew it.

Previously, the original owner pawned all the things in the palace to pay off the gambling debts, and there were only two python robes made by the prince that could not be pawned, which he just wore on his body.

Going shopping in this suit is like a huge and bright night pearl in the dark, no wonder passers-by dare not approach him.

However, it also happened to remind Xie Anlan that it was time to buy some fresh clothes. Fortunately, it was winter, and there was no peculiar smell on her body after three days without washing. If it was summer, it would be so sour.

However, Xie Anlan's expression turned ugly when he entered a clothing store with few people.

In fact, clothes are ridiculously expensive compared to food.

A set of silk and satin clothes that are suitable for winter wear from the inside to the outside costs about 30 taels, and this is not the best, it can only be said to be average.

Compared with silk, other Gebu and linen are much cheaper, and cotton has not yet appeared in the Yong Dynasty.

Xie Anlan tried the cheapest linen cloth, but gave up immediately. Even if it was wrapped in several layers, the wind would still penetrate into the skin through the gaps in the linen cloth. Even before it snows, you can still feel the bone-chilling cold. It's hard to imagine what will happen to people in snowy days and snowy days.

In the end, Xie Anlan gritted her teeth and bought a set of silk clothes, the more expensive it was, the more expensive it was, as long as it didn't freeze to death.

After leaving the clothing store, Xie Anlan's purse became half lighter in an instant, and she said with some melancholy, "It seems that I have to find a way to earn money, otherwise I won't even be able to afford two clothes..."

I thought that having 100 taels was considered rich, but I didn't expect that I was still poor.

Xie Anlan was wandering the streets while thinking about some small investment projects that would bring quick money.

Soon he bought a bunch of things, food and drink, as long as he thought it was useful, he bought some.

In the Prince Chen's Mansion, Lu Chengjiao and Lu Chuyi were not idle either, and together with Chaoyun Chaolu, who was demoted to the servant girl yesterday, they sorted out the dowry that was brought by the Hou's Mansion yesterday in the yard.

It has to be said that the capital of the Hou Mansion is quite strong. There are 36 sets of dowries alone, filling the entire front yard of the Wang Mansion. Gold and silver jewelry, especially the dowry land and real estate, can show that the mistress of the Hou Mansion is preparing for Fu Yunwan with all her heart.

"Master, look, is this box a makeup gift from us?" Lu Chuyi opened a box, looked at the familiar objects inside, and exclaimed.

"Yeah." Lu Chengjia felt a little ironic, obviously what he gave was a dowry gift, but now it has become his own dowry.

"Then young master, shall we take out this box and send the rest back to the Hou's Mansion?" Lu Chuyi was a little uncertain.

"No, except for those named land and real estate that are sent back to the Hou's mansion, the rest will be kept." Lu Chengke is not a person who likes to swallow his anger. It doesn't make sense because it is his cousin who plotted against him, so he wants to leave alone. Tolerate again and again.

These dowry should be regarded as his compensation.

Lu Chuyi happily replied, "Well, young master, I promise to make them angry when I send these things back to the Hou's Mansion."

The real estate and fields are shown to others as dowry, just some clods and tiles. Lu Chengke himself does not need to send these things back to the Hou's mansion, but he is not a doormat, so why should he endure the wronged.

While talking, Fu Bo led a group of shop assistants and came in through the back door carrying all kinds of things.

"All these are arranged by the prince?" Lu Chuyi rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

Before he came to Prince Chen's mansion, he had inquired about Prince Chen's character everywhere. Even if the young master said that the prince was not like what he had inquired about, he still had doubts before seeing it with his own eyes. The prince who is idle and knows how to gamble all day long without doing business has actually started to add things to the palace. It would be a lie to say that he is not shocked!

Uncle Uncle happily raised the corners of his mouth, "Yes, it seems that our lord knows about the Gu family after he gets married!"

Uncle Fu remembered the astonishing gaze of the prince when he saw the princess yesterday, and immediately realized that it must be because of the princess that the prince has changed.

You must know that the prince never cared about daily necessities except for gambling. Now that he has just gotten married, he has started to worry about the trivial matters of the palace. It must be to please the princess!

With just a flash of thought, Uncle Fu had a great affection for Lu Chengjiao, and he didn't bear any grudges in his heart for marrying the new bride, Li Daitao, to the Houfu. Instead, he wanted to thank them for sending a good princess.
