Chapter 716 Seven Shows
Li Ke really had a lot of gold. The lack of gold in ancient times was entirely due to weak mining capabilities and limited capabilities for gold mining and exploration. Not to mention anything else, just the mining of gold sand, a modern machine would be a crushing defeat for the ancients.
So after Li Ke came here, he immediately started to get gold. One tael of gold could be exchanged for six or seven strings of money!
His men could collect nearly six kilograms of gold a day. A gold bar weighs five hundred grams. Li Ke only gave Qi Xiu fifty kilograms of gold, which was just a little more than a week's output for him.
But it was enough to make Wang Weilin feel dazed.
The value of a thousand taels of gold is not low. A good house in Chang'an City costs 100,000 coins. Although the salary of officials is very high, a ninth-rank official usually earns about 10,000 coins a month, which is 10 strings of cash. However, the expenses of officials are also astonishingly high. Basically, if you want to buy a house in Chang'an and Luoyang, you need at least 20 to 30 years of hard work to pay off the house price...
There is no such thing as installment payment at this time, it all has to be paid in one lump sum.
Basically, all the money is spent on food, money for the people and money for the horses, and money for supporting relatives.
The famous Bai Juyi...
This guy really likes to show off his salary. Basically, every time he gets promoted or gets rich, he writes a poem to show off his salary.
So this money is really nothing to him.
But for Wang Weilin and Qixiu, as well as most of the martial arts sects...
One thousand taels of gold is really a big number, almost equivalent to tens of millions in modern times.
Li Ke threw it out without caring and was thinking about whether to get more miners out, but Wang Weilin was different.
"Thank you, brothers."
Looking at the black helicopter in front of him and the soldiers wearing strange black clothes, with six tubes on their backs and yellow hidden weapons called bullets wrapped around their bodies, Wang Weilin was still very polite. He saluted them slightly and then got on the helicopter.
In her arms was the gold given by Li Ke. Although it was very heavy, for Wang Weilin, at this moment, she could only feel at ease when it was in her arms.
The most important thing is that she is a disciple of Qixiu after all, and she knows internal skills, so this weight will not be difficult for her.
It’s just that she has always been curious about the working principles of these things called helicopters, but Li Ke just gave her a bamboo helicopter and let her study it herself.
Obviously, she wanted to chat more with Li Ke, but Li Ke was either hanging out with other women or busy with government affairs all day long, and she and Li Ke had very little private time.
But at least she was not the worst off. The worst off was a girl named Liu. Because she was not from any big family and was just a daughter of an official family, Li Ke's attitude towards her was always rather cold.
But this Miss Liu really fell for this cold-faced man's trick, and Wang Weilin kept shaking his head.
"I don't know what my sisters think. With this money, I can almost buy out Qixiufang..."
Wang Weilin couldn't help but sigh as the helicopter's propeller turned.
He approached Li Ke in the beginning because it was said that Li Ke had a medicine that could revive the dead and turn bones into flesh, but he eventually discovered that it was just nonsense.
But Li Ke's behavior attracted her, especially Li Ke's indifferent attitude towards ordinary people, which made her curious.
Because all the princes of the Tang Dynasty are now arrogant and domineering, and few of them care about the world. The princes she has met basically do not take others seriously.
She had never seen .
She even sneaked a peek at Li Ke's plan, which said that women have little say in this society because their labor rights have been deprived.
She thought it didn't make sense at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it made a lot of sense. Then she was attracted to Li Ke and persuaded by Li Ke. She stayed with Li Ke and wanted to know more about this prince.
Then……
Then she felt that she might know too much, and if she left rashly, there was a high probability that she would be silenced.
Because she could hear Li Ke scolding the emperor all day long, and actually plotting a rebellion...
But after Li Ke saw her concerns, he sent her back to Qixiufang, which surprised her. After careful consideration, she returned to Li Ke and decided to follow Li Ke.
All the women in Qixiu are like this. They look gentle and lovely, but in fact, these women who practice swordsmanship and dare to stand out in this era are the typical .
She waited carefully for the helicopter to fly to Qixiufang. She had an inexplicable liking for this kind of thing. Because her martial arts skills were not very good, she could not fly into the sky like other knights.
But looking at the space passing by below, she couldn't help but ask.
"How long will it take for us to get to Qixiufang?"
The soldiers around her glanced at her. Although they knew that these soldiers were loyal men carefully selected by Li Ke, she still subconsciously held the money in her arms tightly.
She regarded money as dirt, but if the money could be used to improve the lives of the orphans in Qixiufang, she would be willing to give her life for it.
The one who answered her was the driver, a seemingly honest man. He smiled at Wang Weilin and then said a number that left Wang Weilin stunned.
"About two and a half hours."
Wang Weilin's mouth opened wide. She remembered very clearly that these martial arts masters traveled day and night, constantly urging light workers to hurry on. It would take at least seven days to get from Qixiufang to here!
Then you need to recuperate for two or three days here, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the normal operation of your skills.
This is the case when they are almost flying in the sky. For ordinary people, it would take at least a month to get from Qixiufang to here. If they get lost, encounter windy or rainy, or get sick, it may take two or three months.
Wang Weilin said nothing more, shocked by this incident. When she vaguely saw the land of Hangzhou, the prosperous Qixiufang, and returned to Qixiufang in a daze with a box of gold bricks, she was still dizzy.
Even the Qixiu disciples guarding the gate thought they had seen a ghost.
The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that she followed the foolish king to Miaojiang.
When she brought the gold to meet the headmaster Ye Zhiqing and the deputy headmaster Xiao Baiyan, they saw the gold. Ye Zhiqing's first reaction was to roll up Wang Weilin's sleeves and check the toad's blood.
"You sold yourself?!"
But the deputy leader Xiao Baiyan rolled her eyes at her own leader and complained.
"It's not inlaid with gold, how can it be sold for so much."
“That’s right.”
Seeing the two leaders singing the same tune to verify his innocence, Wang Weilin——
Quite unhappy.
