Chapter 13 Yellow and White

After chatting for a long time, Master Chen never mentioned the content of the reward.

Fang Dou couldn't help but asked, "Master Chen, when I entered the city, I saw a bounty at the door."

He said it euphemistically, it was a reminder, don't forget, Guo Three's heads are valuable!

"If it wasn't for the Master's reminder, I would have almost forgotten!"

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

"Master, that reward has expired."

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

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

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

One silver tael is 1,000 taels, and two taels are 20,000 taels.

even more how Official silver is of high purity, and it is more than 20,000 yuan.

Fang Dou once heard that in ancient times, the government was dark, and there were layers of deductions during the distribution of rewards.

However, the two official silver coins in front of them are obviously two pounds.

“Master, do you still have questions?”

Fang Dou was shivered, and quickly put away the money, “No!”

How can there be, there is The twenty silver tael is enough to repair the broken stone wall and buy some much-needed things.

"Master Chen, I will not disturb you when the things are delivered!"

Fang Dou got up and said goodbye.

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

When he turned around, he saw the Small Captain of the officers and soldiers, his face hesitant to say anything.

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

Small Captain held back these words in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say it.

Master Chen looked indifferent, "Of course he's not a mortal, otherwise how could he kill Guo San, who was so brave." come out.

"I just saw that Guo San's head has a flat fracture, and the person who strikes it is not only a strong arm, but also a veteran of killing without blinking an eye."

Small Captain clicking one's tongue in wonder, "If such a character is placed in the army, at least he is the seedling of a fierce general of a hundred enemies!"

"Anyway, he can kill Guo San, which is also a blessing in my county! "

Master Chen handed over his hands, turned around and entered the county office to tell County Magistrate the good news.

Guo San is the main culprit in this jailbreak incident, and he is also a death row prisoner to be executed, and the impact is too great.

Now that Fang Dou has been sent back to the head, the trouble has been reduced by half, and the county government has been relaxed.

This is also the reason why Master Chen didn't move the reward and handed it all over to Fang Dou.

It is a kindness that not only saves the jobs of officials, but also saves lives.

……

Fang Dou has official silver in his arms.

Official silver cannot be circulated in the market, and it has to be exchanged for broken silver and copper coins in official shops before it can be used.

I've come here, don't be afraid to take this step more.

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

The two ingots of 10 taels were finally exchanged for a pile of broken silver, and the condition was not good.

Fang Dou shook his head, although in the black market, official silver can be exchanged for more scrap silver, but the risk is too great to be worth it.

Putting away the broken silver, Fang Dou went to the rice shop and exchanged 100 catties of rice for copper coins.

Guo San escaped from prison, people were alarmed, and the price of rice rose accordingly.

The crude drug store is closed, saying that the shopkeeper was killed, and the son and daughter-in-law are in mourning. They are closed for a few days.

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

“Sell straw sandals, sell straw sandals!”

Fang Dou heard a peasant man with thick hands and feet squatting on the roadside selling straw sandals.

“How to sell straw sandals?”

The straw sandals on the stalls are woven with papyrus grass and refined by hand, like handicrafts.

The peasant man explained, "This is hand-made by my mother, and my mother's craftsmanship is unmatched in Shili Baxiang!"

"It's really good, how much does a pair cost? !”

Fang Dou counted, among these sandals, there are sandals, slippers, and walking shoes with uppers and heels.

"Two pairs of five cents!"

The peasant man pointed to 'sandals', then more complicated walking shoes, "This is more expensive, it costs four cents!"

p>

Fang Dou nodded, made a gesture, took seven or eight pairs of straw sandals, "I bought them!"

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

p>

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

The tooth bank, similar to the modern labor market, is responsible for the recruitment needs of each company.

"Excuse me, are there any good masons in the county?"

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop doesn't need to turn over the book, blunt, "Of course it's Peng mason, he brought a bunch of disciplines , work fast and good!"

Fang Dou roughly gestured the content of the wall repair and asked, "How much will it cost?"

"Well, Mason Peng asks for a higher price, At least 30,000 coins!"

Fang Dou frowned, the silver coins on his body didn't add up to that much.

But on second thought, it's not that expensive.

In modern society, it costs at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to decorate a room, even more how In ancient times, masons were monopolistic technical jobs, and it was normal for labor costs to be expensive.

"Please help me make an appointment for Mason Peng!"

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop was a little surprised. He had heard of Fang Dou's name, and also heard that the temple was poor and he had no oil or water on his body.

"The tooth bank charges 300 yuan, and we try to help you talk about less than 30,000 yuan!"

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

He took out the gold nuggets in his arms, but he still had to use the reserves.

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

The 'Gold and Silver Shop', named apparently at a glance, is where gold and silver are smelted.

Fang Dou gritted his teeth and walked in with his legs raised. He saw the backyard through the lobby, where a stove and bellows hu hu heated up, and the heat wave could be felt from a distance.

In the shop, there is already a customer who is taking the money into his arms.

"Whoops!"

The guest turned around and almost collided with Fang Dou, who was also a bald monk.

The monk saw Fang Dou, startled, clapped his hands and said his sin, and left in a hurry.

"It's a Master again, but to make gold!"

The shopkeeper saw Fang Dou, "It turned out to be the Master who broke the temple outside the city."

Fang Dou's arrow was on the string, so he had to take out the gold particles, "The shopkeeper's, replace me with broken silver!"

"Wait!"

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

Fang Dou didn't ask any questions when he saw him, but became curious.

"Shopkeeper, you don't ask where the gold came from!"

"Don't ask, hehe, don't ask!"

The shopkeeper raised his head and pointed to the scale On the scale, "I'm optimistic, one tael or six coins, totaling twenty-five tael of silver coins."

Fang Dou calculated in his heart that the exchange unit here is 1 gold tael for 16 tael of silver , this number is correct.

The shopkeeper took out a bag of silver pieces and weighed them one by one in front of Fang Dou.

"Master, do you recognize the one who went out just now?"

"I don't know!"

shopkeeper sighed, "It's thirty miles away, so lucky The Elder Brother Elder Brother, the scripture hall of Yuan Temple, also came to melt the gold."

"How does other people's gold come from? Scrape the gold lacquer of Buddha statues. Jewelry that cheats benefactress."

"In order to avoid exposure, I have to come to the county seat thirty miles away to write off the account!"

The shopkeeper of the Gold Bank asked here, "Master , is your gold more troublesome than him?"

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

The gold shopkeeper wrapped the broken silver and put it in Fang In Dou's hand, "That's it, you and I are satisfied, the deal is done!"
