Chapter forty-third, ten thousand taels of silver

"Young Master Chen, someone is looking for you outside the door."

A disaster victim ran to Chen Qi panting and said.

Chen Qi and Ding Muxi were watching A Niu and Shen Changhao compete with martial arts. Chen Changhao used his sword and A Niu used his sword skills. His sword skills were taught by Zhao Yuechen. After more than ten days of practice, he had some skills. Only Chen Changhao is willing to fight with him. When he was free, the two often competed, but A Niu was not Chen Changhao's opponent.

"Who?" Chen Qi asked the victim.

"I don't know, a young man was riding a horse and was looking for you, saying he was sending you a letter."

"It must be the news sent by Brother Wei. He should have arrived in the capital long ago." Chen Qixi said.

"Then let's go and have a look, it must be good news." After Ding Muxi said that, he pulled Chen Qi and ran towards the temple gate, and Yu Min and others followed him.

Chen Qi and Ding Muxi arrived at the temple gate, and a young man was waiting there with a horse. Chen Qi said, "I'm here to go. Chen Qi, I don't know that brother Wei sent me from the capital."

The man looked at Chen Qi, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

Ding Muxi said: "If you want to change the bag."

The man bowed to Chen Qi and then wrote a letter on the ground, "This is Mr. Wei's letter to you."

Chen Qi took the letter and replied, "Thank you brother!"

The man replied with a bow, "I dare not! The young man has to rush to another place and leave here."

Chen Qi said: "Since my brother has important things, I won't stay here, take care of you all the way!"

The man gave another tribute and then rode his horse away.

When the man left, Chen Qi took out the letter and read it seriously.

"What do you say in the letter?" Ding Muxi asked after Chen Qi finished reading it.

Chen Qi replied happily: "Brother Wei said that he has arrived in the capital safely and obtained an official position through relations. He has also asked the court to agree to provide disaster relief again. He is also involved and will leave the capital soon."

"That's great, these people can finally go home!" Ding Muxi said happily.

Chen Changhao said: "Then I can go to my uncle's house too."

Ding Muxi touched his head and smiled and said, "Yes, when we see these people off, we will send Hao'er to our uncle's house. Will Hao'er miss his sister at that time?"

Chen Changhao said: "Of course, why don't my sister and elder brother live in my uncle's house at that time."

Ding Muxi asked: "Can you make the decision?"

Chen Changhao said: "This... I haven't seen my uncle yet, but I think he will agree."

Yu Min said: "Because Chen Mansion and Butterfly Villa are too far apart, my sister-in-law hasn't returned to her parents' home for many years. It's not good that Hao'er was still there when she was a child, but he was too young at that time and I don't remember it."

Chen Qi said: "Since Brother Wei is here soon, we must prepare. Aniu, Uncle Zhao, you go and notify everyone to make them happy and be prepared to leave."

"Yes!" A Niu and Zhao Yuechen returned to the temple to tell the victims this great news.

"Sister Yu, you and Hao'er stay in the temple, and Ximei and I go to Yunzhou City."

"What are we going to Yunzhou City for?" Ding Muxi asked in confusion.

Chen Qi said: "Didn't Uncle Meng leave some silver notes when he left? Let's exchange it for silver, then share it with them, buy some food for him to use on the way."

"OK!"

Yu Min said: "Brother Chen and Sister Ding are really chivalrous!"

Chen Qi said: "Sister is awarded, we're going."

Yu Min nodded and watched the two leave.

Chen Qi and Ding Muxi arrived in Yunzhou City, first went to Zhongfu Grain Store to order a batch of grain, and then went to Wanfu Money House to exchange silver.

"What? The young master wants ten thousand taels of silver to be sold, and he also wants to break the silver. This..."

"What, are there any difficulties?"

The shopkeeper of Wanfu Money House immediately showed a hint of embarrassment when he heard that Chen Qi wanted 510,000 taels of silver, and it was all broken.

"It's not that there is a difficulty, it's really difficult. All the money we received here is large, not as broken silver as the young master said." The shopkeeper explained.

Ding Muxi said: "Where did that broken silver come from?"

The shopkeeper replied: "The broken silver is divided by the people themselves in order to facilitate settlement, or the treasury of the bank or the bank. We don't have it here."

Ding Muxi said: "Since they can all be divided, you should be able to do that too."

The shopkeeper said: "This... our money shop does not have this business, and no customer has ever made such a request."

Ding Muxi said: "Then we have such a requirement now. Do you want to increase this kind of business?"

The shopkeeper said: "This..."

Chen Qi said: "Since you have never done such a business, then forget it, just give us 10,000 taels of cash bank."

The shopkeeper said: "The amount the young master wants is too large and he needs to go to the warehouse to collect it. He did not make an appointment in advance, so it will be tomorrow."

Chen Qi said: "It's okay tomorrow, are you responsible for sending it?"

The shopkeeper said: "This..."

Ding Muxi said: "Do you don't have such a business?"

The shopkeeper said: "It is true that no guest has made such a request, as the girl said."

Chen Qi said: "Since that's the case, we will pick it up ourselves tomorrow. Do we need to bring anything else?"

The shopkeeper said: "Ten thousand taels of silver must be filled with two large wooden boxes. We provide this box. When you come, you only need to bring a carriage. By the way, there are also silver notes."

Chen Qi smiled and said, "I must bring the silver notes. Does the shopkeeper think that our brother and sister are idiots and don't know anything?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't have this meaning."

Chen Qi said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow." After that, he took Ding Muxi away from the money house.

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of the two and shook his head, "I have been a shopkeeper for so many years. This is the first time I have met such a client. I'm going to say they are stupid, it's definitely wrong, but where did the two come from..."

Chen Qi and the others left the money shop and returned to the grain shop, telling them that they would bring two boxes on the carriage that would deliver food tomorrow. The shopkeeper of the grain shop naturally agreed to such a customer.

After completing these things, the two of them returned to Xingyun Temple without stopping. The next morning, the two rode their horses to Yunzhou City again and went to the grain shop first.

At this time, the grain shop was loading the car, but left an empty carriage to wait for Chen Qi and his two to make plans. After Chen Qi and his two arrived, they took the empty carriage to the money shop.

When the bank manager saw Chen Qi and the others arrived, he immediately met him. Chen Qi took out a few silver notes from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper. After the shopkeeper inspected it, he ordered people to carry out two large wooden boxes from it.

The shopkeeper ordered someone to open the wooden box and said to Chen Qi: "There are five thousand taels of silver in one box. Please check it out."

Chen Qi said: "No need, just help me carry it to the carriage outside."

The shopkeeper was shocked and said to himself: "Who is this person? He doesn't even look at the ten thousand taels of silver."

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Qi: "Young Master really doesn't look at it? After leaving, our money house will no longer be responsible."

Chen Qi smiled and said, "I believe in your money house and you."

"Okay." The shopkeeper ordered the man to carry two wooden boxes to the carriage outside.

The coachman of the grain store was full of doubt when he followed Chen Qi and the others here. At this time, he was even more surprised to see two large wooden boxes lifted out of the money shop, "It's not all silver here!"

Chen Qi happened to see his expression and said, "Don't guess, there is money here, but for your safety, you'd better not tell the public." After that, Chen Qi threw him a ingot of silver.

The coachman took the silver and was full of joy. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, young master, the young man will definitely not tell anyone."

"That's good, let's go."

...

"Uncle Zhao, A Niu, give you two a task."

"Young Master, just say it."

"There are a total of 10,000 taels of silver in these two boxes. You can divide it according to the number of people here."

"I have never seen so much money."

"I have never seen it before. Young Master, will you just share it with them like this?"

"Well~ it's full of fifty taels of silver ingots inside. You need to break up these silver ingots and then divide them into everyone's hands."

"ah!"
