Chapter 602 You can figure out the reason yourself.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the window and saw that it must be early morning the next day.
"No!"
Buwei, who was busy doing hygiene work in the living room, hurriedly ran to the bed and said, "Sir, wake up."
"What time is it?"
"It's already Chen hour." (07:00 to 09:00 Beijing time)
Damn, I slept for 12 hours.
This medicine can definitely be used as a sleeping pill!
Another day I will have a chance to see Dr. Wu and ask for the prescription.
When Wang Lidong got up, he found that his head was no longer dizzy, but his body was still a little soft. It seemed that his body would recover after another day of rest.
As expected of a royal doctor, the severe cold was completely cured in just 2 days.
The effect is almost the same as that of later generations of Western medicine, but the taste does need to be improved, and the side effects are also somewhat serious.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
After getting dressed, I was served by Chun Lai, washed up, and went to the living room. While having breakfast, I asked the financial director to report the details of his small treasury.
Chunlan immediately reported the figures compiled last night, "...39,856 copper coins, 6,523 taels of silver, 985 taels of gold, 16 shops, 2 workshops, 5 farms (3,210 acres), jades and ancient artifacts...
..”
"How much are the gold, silver and copper coins? How much are the other items worth together?"
Chunlan said: "The cash in cash is 72,602 guan in total. The total amount of farm products and shops is almost 56,300 guan."
In today's market, gold and silver are precious metals with very little circulation. The mainstream is still copper coins. Of course, there is no problem in using them.
The exchange ratio is: 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 20 copper coins = 16,000 copper coins.
And the purchasing power of money has always been around 500 yuan.
Wang Lidong estimated that his private money was almost more than 60 million.
Smack your lips!
Qi's mother threw tens of millions to him without blinking an eye.
But when I think about the entire property of the Duke of Qi's mansion, I don't think there's anything strange about it.
His cheap father is now the boss of the Salt and Iron Company, and he handles about 15 million guan of banknotes a year. Even if there is a little bit of oil, that's tens of millions of guan.
Father Qi has been doing this job for the tenth year.
The entire palace has been passed down for almost a hundred years.
It is estimated that the entire property of Qi Guogong is at least about 40 million yuan, which translates to about 20 billion yuan...
The Duke of Qi was considered to be the top powerful person in the Song Dynasty, so he only acquired such a small amount of assets, so he would not be able to do business.
Look at other people and Zhongtang. In just a few decades, they have embezzled 1.1 billion taels of silver. According to the current exchange ratio, that is 2.2 billion copper coins and 11 trillion Sihai coins...
The gap is too big!
After Chunlan continued to report on the situation of the workshops, shops and farms, Wang Lidong ordered: "Go to the dental shop and find out if there are any government-run smelting workshops for sale recently, and buy a larger herbal medicine shop. Finally.
Good thing is nearby.”
Chunlan nodded:
"Okay, sir."
After resting for another two days, Wang Lidong, with his face glowing and bouncing around, reluctantly waved goodbye to his life in the pig pen, picked up the Four Books and Five Classics again, and followed a teacher invited by Qi's mother who had been failing all the time to study stereotypes.
article.
Within a week, the old gentleman found Qi's mother and told him that Wang Lidong had left the army and that he had nothing to teach him.
Qi's mother didn't believe it at all.
The gentleman she invited may not be considered a candidate, but his level is no worse than that of a Jinshi. He is now 50 years old and has not yet passed the Jinshi exam. The main reason is that when the little old man took the exam for the first time, he saw him diagonally across from him.
An examinee was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. From then on, as soon as he entered the examination room, his hands and feet would sweat, his heartbeat would speed up, and his head would be buzzing with liquid...
Thinking of her son's request for private money two days ago, Princess Pingning's anger surged upwards. With the anger bar floating on her forehead, she immediately filled it up to the maximum, threw down the small items in her hand, and rushed
Towards Wang Lidong's courtyard.
When he pushed the door open and entered the room, his eyebrows stood up when he saw his son holding a copy of the Laoshizi Taoist Scripture.
When Wang Lidong saw his mother looking like a cannibal, he quickly put down the book in his hand and stepped forward to greet her.
"Mother, who is this blind person who makes you so angry? Is it my father?"
Qi's mother glared at her son with a playful smile and said, "Heng'er, I heard from my husband that he has nothing to teach. Even if you take part in the provincial examination immediately, you are sure to win the national examination?"
Wang Lidong smiled and nodded.
His Chinese is level 4. Let alone being a civil servant, even if he takes the Jinshi exam right away, he can still get into the top three.
Princess Pingning was very angry when she saw her son actually smiling...
"Puff puff!"
The loud fart sound spread throughout the room.
The room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Seeing that my mother's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with tears. Her parents were in trouble. As someone's cheap son, how could she stand by and watch? Wang Lidong scolded Buwei, who was hanging his head not far away:
"No, I don't have any eyesight. Why are you just standing there? Why don't you go and order a cup of tea for your mother?"
Buwei hurriedly replied and ran out.
Damn it!
Wang Lidong was a little speechless.
The tea set is in the cupboard. Where are you going now?
Qi's mother suddenly said:
"Chunlan, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
After Chunlan finished polishing the ink, Qi's mother wrote two test questions on a piece of paper to test her son.
She had stayed in the palace since she was a child. After she was six years old, she would follow a group of royal children to the Xinyi Hall (Gong Academy) every day. Every teacher there was a top literati.
With her level of self-confidence, if she ends up in the imperial examination, she would not dare to say that she would be a Jinshi, but she is still somewhat sure of her success.
Half an hour later, Princess Pingning looked at the test paper in her hand with a look of shock.
If she hadn't watched her son write down his answers stroke by stroke, she wouldn't have believed that the test paper was written by Wang Lidong.
The standard of the article is so high, let alone Juzi, even if it was written by a Jinshi, that's it...
Moreover, the handwriting on the paper is round and round, with beautiful flow and vigor, and the pen is smooth and mellow. It can be said to be "the number one scholar in calligraphy, a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation."
"Heng'er, when did your handwriting become so good?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Lidong replied seriously: "Mother, after my son recovered from his illness, he found that his calligraphy has improved a lot. Is the reason..."
At this point, a confused look appeared on his face...
You can figure out the reason yourself.
He believes that Qi's mother or Qi's father will help him find a suitable reason, which is more credible than him finding a reason himself.
The same goes for studies. Anyway, I had a high fever for just half a month... anything is possible!
Moreover, during the Northern Song Dynasty, prodigies were common, such as Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Fang Zhongyong... One of today's princes, Yan Shu, was able to write at the age of 7. At the age of 14, he was recommended by local officials as a "prodigy" and directly moved across counties and provinces.
He took the examinations in other places and participated in the palace examination together with more than a thousand mid-term candidates of the scientific examination that year. Because he answered the questions quickly, he was awarded by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty to be of the same Jinshi origin, and was awarded the title of secretary, province Zhengzi.
However, these people are still within the scope of normal people. The most awesome one, the child prodigy Cai Boxi, became a Jinshi at the age of only 3 years old. He started to be an official at the age of 3 and finally retired at the age of 83.
Looking at Qi's mother who was surprised but deep in thought, she knew that this person must be thinking hard...Wang Lidong secretly gave a thumbs up and gave himself a thumbs up.
"Heng'er," while Wang Lidong was enjoying himself, his husband, the little old man Zhang Han, smiled and handed him a question, asking for his help in correcting it.
Wang Lidong's forehead is a little dark.
Come and take advantage of yourself again.
In the past few days, the little old man would take a written policy question every day and ask for his help to read it.
He could remember that Qi's mother paid as much as 50 guan for monthly tuition in order to ask this man to be her husband.
Today's fourth-rank officials in the imperial court have a monthly salary of only 55 guan.
