Chapter 112 Text

Spending Hundreds of Money

Oh my God!

The apprentice wailed in his heart and cursed God for being unfair!

This is a piece of cloud silk worth a hundred gold. She just casually ordered three sets, which is a full three hundred gold!

Three hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for 3,000 taels of silver at a bank. One tael of silver can be bought at a rice store for ten buckets of rice. Then three hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for a full thirty thousand buckets of rice!

My dear mother, that’s enough rations for him to eat for five hundred years!

Hearing Lu Shiyi say that they were distinguished guests, the apprentice guessed that they must be a wealthy family, otherwise Lu Shiyi, who is so greedy for money, would never be so attentive, but he never expected that they were so rich!

And how can a person with a humble background like him understand that, let alone a hundred gold pieces, it's a thousand gold pieces, so what?

As long as they can buy what they want, it is worth it in their eyes.

"I wonder if this young lady would like to take a look at the ready-made clothes that I made earlier? Some of them look pretty good, and they look about the same height as the young lady. If you like something that doesn't suit you, I can do it too.

Change it immediately!"

Seeing that the other party was so generous, the shopkeeper was naturally delighted, but he was not like the apprentice who couldn't help but stood aside in shock.

Not only for the business of the shop, but also to be able to borrow Yu Rui's clothes to watch carefully, he even took out the new clothes he prepared for his granddaughter for Yu Rui to choose from.

Yu Rui looked at it and realized that although the material was not the best, the craftsmanship was indeed good, so she picked two to try.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the shopkeeper shamelessly made his request. Yurui was not a stingy person, so she generously lent her clothes to the shopkeeper for viewing.

"Yes, very good! The material is excellent, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the embroidery on it is really vivid! Without decades of painstaking research, we would never be able to make such exquisite Hufu.

of!"

The shopkeeper really couldn't put it down for this Hufu and carefully touched it with his hands.

This made Lu Shiyi curious. He went up to take a look and asked, "Are these clothes really as good as you say?"

Yurui went to try on some clothes, and those people began to study the Hufu again. Fengling had nothing to do and was thinking about things all the time, so she walked to the window and opened the window facing the street to let some air in, but she didn't want to be right.

I saw Li Jinshu enjoying tea upstairs across the street.

Li Jinshu nodded slightly towards Fengling, not expecting that they would be in the tailor shop opposite.

Although it was right across the street, there was a river between the two streets, so the sound must not have been transmitted, so Feng Ling only nodded slightly in greeting without saying a word.

"Girl, this is all the information about the epidemic in Yishui County recently. According to the data, this epidemic may be caused by excessive taxes in Yishui County."

Li Jinshu withdrew his gaze and opened the information placed in front of him. It recorded in detail the number of infected people, the number of deaths, and even their household registration information, as well as related symptoms after the onset of the disease, etc. It was very detailed.

There was just one thing that puzzled Li Jinshu: "You said the taxes in Yishui County were too heavy, which caused epidemics. Why did you explain it?"

"Back to the eldest lady, these are just some unconfirmed rumors. Nowadays, it is widely spread throughout Suzhou. It is said that when Qian State attacked Su State, the people of Yishui County spontaneously organized militia to resist, resulting in heavy losses to the Qian State army.

, so after the Su State was annexed by the Qian State, the Emperor of the Qian State once issued an edict that Yishui County should collect 20% more taxes than elsewhere."
