Chapter 13 Yellow and White (Remastered)

Mr. Chen chatted for a long time and never mentioned the reward.

Fang Dou couldn't help but ask, "Sir Chen, when I entered the city, I saw the reward at the door."

He said it tactfully, this is a reminder, don’t forget, Guo San’s head is valuable!

"If it weren't for the Master's reminder, I almost forgot!"

Master Chen turned around and took a wooden box from the shelf behind him, with two silver ingots placed inside.

"Master, that reward has expired."

"Just just now, the master ordered Guo San's reward to be raised to 20,000 yuan!"

As he said that, he pushed the wooden box in front of Fang Dou.

"Master, please see, here are two ten taels of official silver."

One tael of silver costs one thousand coins, two ten taels are twenty thousand coins.

What's more, the official silver has a high purity, so I don't know how to convert it to 20,000 yuan.

Fang Dou once heard that in ancient times, the governments were dark and they had to be deducted layer by layer on the way to pay the rewards.

However, the two official silver pieces in front of me are obviously enough.

"Master, do you have any questions?"

Fang Dou was shocked and quickly put away the silver, "No!"

How could it be? With these twenty taels of silver, it is enough to repair the broken stone wall and buy something that is urgently needed.

"Sir Chen, the things are delivered, I won't disturb you now!"

Fang Dou stood up and said goodbye.

Master Chen sent Fang Dou all the way out of the yamen, "Master, go slowly!"

When he turned around, he saw the squad leader of the officers and soldiers, and his face was tempted to speak but stopped.

"Sir Chen, this monk is not a mortal!"

The captain kept this sentence in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say it.

Master Chen looked calm, "Of course he is not an ordinary person, otherwise how could he kill Guo San who is brave enough to cause trouble."

The team leader was shocked and then he realized that Master Chen also saw it.

"I just saw that Guo San's head fracture is flat. The person who attacked not only had extraordinary arm strength, but also a veteran who killed people without blinking."

The team leader was amazed, "If such a person is placed in the army, he will be at least a fierce general with a hundred enemies!"

"In any case, it is also a blessing for our county to kill Hei San!"

Master Chen bowed his hand and turned around and entered the county government office, wanting to tell the county magistrate the good news.

In this prison escape incident, Guo San was the culprit, and he was even more a death row prisoner to be killed, which had a great impact.

Now that Fang Dou is sent back to his head, most of the troubles are reduced, and the county government breathes a sigh of relief.

This is also why Master Chen refused to move the reward and handed it all over to Fang Dou.

This kind of kindness not only protects the official's job, but also saves life.

...

Fang Dou was in possession of official silver, but after being happy, he found that the flowers could not go out.

Official silver cannot be circulated on the market, and must be exchanged for broken silver coins in the official shop before it can be used.

I've come here, so I'm not afraid of taking this step more.

In the official shop, the official silver is exchanged according to the market price.

Two ten taels of gold ingots were finally replaced with a bunch of broken silver, and the quality was not good.

Fang Dou shook his head. Although in the black market, the official silver can be exchanged for more broken silver, the risk is too great and it is not worth doing.

After putting away the broken silver, Fang Dou went to the rice shop and exchanged all 100 kilograms of rice for copper coins.

Guo San escaped from prison and was panicked, and the corresponding rice price rose again.

The medicine shop was not open, saying that the shopkeeper was killed, and his son and daughter-in-law were having funerals and had not opened for business these days.

Fang Dou felt a little regretful. He also wanted to prepare some secret medicine to further train the dog spirit.

"Sell straw sandals, sell straw sandals!"

Fang Dou heard a thick-legged farmer squatting on the side of the road, selling straw sandals.

“How to sell straw sandals?”

The straw sandals on the stall are made of cattails and are hand-crafted, just like handicrafts.

The farmer explained, "This is made up by my mother. No one can compare to my mother's skills in every village!"

"It's really good, how much does it cost to have a pair!"

Fang Dou counted and found that among these straw sandals, there were similar sandals, slippers, and walking shoes with uppers and heels.

"Two doubles and five words!"

The farmer pointed to the 'sandals', and then the more complicated walking shoes, "This one is more expensive, it costs four cents!"

Fang Dou nodded, gestured to the size, and took seven or eight pairs of straw sandals, "I bought it!"

The farmer took the copper coins and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you!"

Fang Dou rolled up the straw sandals, put them in the basket and put them away, and continued walking forward.

Yashang, similar to the modern human resources market, is responsible for the employment needs of each company.

"May I ask, what kind of stonemasons are there in the county?"

The shopkeeper of Yaxing didn't have to read the book, and he was straightforward, "Of course it's Marine Peng. He brought a group of apprentices and worked quickly and well!"

Fang Dou roughly compared the content of the wall repair and asked, "How much is it?"

"Well, the price of Peng Shijian is high, at least 30,000 yuan!"

Fang Dou frowned. The money he had on him didn't add up so much.

But then I thought about it, this price is not expensive.

In modern society, it is necessary to decorate a room at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. What's more, in ancient times, stonemasons were monopoly technical jobs, and it was normal that labor costs were expensive.

"Please make an appointment with Mr. Peng!"

The shopkeeper of Yaxing was a little surprised. He had heard of Fang Dou's name, and also heard that the temple was poor and had no oil and water on him.

"The Yashu collects 300 yuan, and we will try to help you talk about less than 30,000 yuan!"

Fang Dou paid the money and turned around and left to raise money.

He took out the gold particles in his arms and still wanted to use the reserves.

This time, I can't go to the official shop.

The name of "Gold and Silver Shop" is clear at a glance, and it is a place where gold and silver are melted.

Fang Dou gritted his teeth, raised his legs and walked in, and saw the backyard through the lobby. He placed a stove and bellows to heat up. He could feel the heat waves when they were separated by a distance.

There was already a customer in the shop who was taking the money into his arms.

"Ouch!"

The guest turned around and almost started to turn with Fang, and he turned out to be a bald monk.

When the monk saw Fang Dou, he was shocked, raised his palm and said his guilt, and left in a hurry.

"I am another master, but I am here to transform gold!"

When the shopkeeper saw Fang Dou, "It turned out to be a major event for the dilapidated temple outside the city."

Fang Doujian was on the string and had to take out the gold particles, "Shopkeeper, replace it with broken silver for me!"

"Hold on!"

The shopkeeper took out the small scale and weighed it carefully.

Fang Dou didn't ask when he saw him asking, but instead became curious.

"Shopkeeper, don't ask about the origin of the gold!"

"No, hehe, no question!"

The shopkeeper looked up and pointed to the scale on the scale, "I'm sure you have one or six cents, and the crushed silver is twenty-five or six cents."

Fang Dou calculated in his mind that the exchange unit here is for one tael of gold to sixteen taels of silver, and this number is exactly the same.

The shopkeeper took out a pack of broken silver and weighed it one by one in front of Fang Dou.

"Master, do you recognize the one who just left?"

"I don't recognize it!"

The shopkeeper sighed, "He is thirty miles away, and the senior brother of Fuyuan Temple's scripture hall is also here to make gold."

"How do people's gold come from? Shaving the gold paint from Buddha statues. When going to a wealthy house to do rituals, they secretly scrape powder from the goldware and trick the female donor's jewelry."

"In order to avoid exposure, we have to come to the county town thirty miles away to cancel the account!"

When the shopkeeper Jinxing said this, he asked, "Master, is your gold more trouble than him?"

Fang Dou shook his head repeatedly, "Clean, absolutely clean!"
