Chapter 43-Checking the Books ()
As local squires, they had already investigated the Lu family's situation.
There were only four people in the entire Lu family who could make decisions. Lord Lu, his two daughters, and a man who came out of nowhere.
Lu Gong was too old. It would be best if he made the decision. The squires had a hundred ways to kill him. But now, Lu Zhi, who was a girl, walked out from behind. Duke Lu did not reprimand him.
They understood on the spot that the main character today was not Lu Gong, but Lu Zhi.
Therefore, although they were amazed by Lu Zhi's beauty, they paid more attention to her temperament.
Lu Zhi did not have the slightest bit of stage fright. This was enough to make the squires and celebrities shocked.
Because this was the performance of a mature career woman. It was hard to imagine that Lu Zhi was actually doing business in public for the first time.
Lu Zhi was born to do this. She was even qualified to be the emperor.
And a small banquet was naturally not a problem.
The squires had already corrected their mentality and did not dare to underestimate the Lu family anymore. Their focus had also shifted from Duke Lu to Lu Zhi.
As for Liu Bang, he was still looking at Lu Zhi in a daze.
That scorching gaze was naturally detected by Lu Zhi.
Therefore, she frowned.
When she walked over from behind, she saw the faint appreciation in her father's eyes, which made her very dissatisfied. She and her sister had already been betrothed to her husband, but her father was shaken by the county magistrate's words.
He even wanted to remarry her to the county magistrate's son.
Lu Zhi was naturally unwilling, so he even argued with Duke Lu.
And now, Master Lu had taken a fancy to a local ruffian. What was the meaning of this? Do you want to push your daughter into the fire pit?
Moreover, last night, Master Lu had said that he was old and no longer cared about things, and that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. But today, he had caused such a thing. He was clearly just a local ruffian who caused trouble. It would be fine if he was chased away.
However, Duke Lu insisted on letting him in to disrupt the banquet.
Lu Zhi was already very dissatisfied with his father. He even felt that he was a little old and muddle-headed.
Even the squires present could see the burning passion in Liu Bang's eyes, let alone Lu Zhi. It was clearly love at first sight.
However, Lu Zhi was a very realistic person. She looked down on Liu Bang.
If he looked down on her now, he wouldn't look up to her in the future.
"Your name is Liu Bang?"
Lu Zhi slowly took two steps forward and looked at Liu Bang indifferently, trying to hide the disgust in his eyes.
When the squires saw her actions, they nodded their heads in admiration, but they also sighed in their hearts that the Lu family had a good daughter. Today's banquet did not look simple.
"Yes, I am."
Liu Bang put away his ugly face and acted neither servile nor overbearing, but the desire in his eyes could not be hidden.
"I heard that you're He Qianwan?"
Lu Zhi completely ignored him and only asked his own questions.
As for Liu Bang, he was speechless.
In his opinion, since he had come in, everyone should not discuss this problem, right? Talking about money like this would hurt their relationship! He had already come in. Could it be that he could still be kicked out?
In Liu Bang's opinion, the lowest price for a banquet was 1,000 yuan. According to his thinking, the squires inside must have been lower. In other words, these people were actually paying 1,000 yuan.
Then, if I bid 10,000 yuan, wouldn't I become the first person?
Then, let's talk about salary.
The county magistrate's salary was the highest in the county, ranging from 1,000 to 600 stones.
What kind of concept was this?
In ancient times, salaries were given in the form of rice, which ranged from 1,000 to 600 dan of rice.
If converted to money, it was about 30 yuan per stone, which was 30,000 to 18,000 yuan a year.
In the Qin Dynasty, a stone was about 30kg in modern times, which was one yuan per kilogram.
In modern times, the price of rice was about 5 yuan per catty and 10 yuan per kilogram. (That's enough. Don't delve too deeply into it. The price of rice varies from place to place. Five yuan is mainly because it's easy to calculate.)）
According to the market price, one yuan in the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to 10 yuan in modern times.
Then, 10,000 yuan was 100,000 yuan! It was equivalent to half a year's income for a county magistrate.
As for the director of a rural police station, he was lucky to be able to earn 300 yuan a month. Even if he didn't spend a single cent, it would take him three years to gather 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, Liu Bang was a well-known local ruffian, the kind who would spend all his money.
"Then do you know how much the people sitting in the living room are worth?”
Lu Zhi didn't give Liu Bang a chance to speak at all. He just looked at him coldly." To tell you the truth, none of the people here have less than 50,000 yuan in congratulatory money.”
"What?! Fifty thousand! Why don't you go rob them!"
Liu Bang was shocked and revealed his true nature. He thought that he was exaggerating by asking for 10,000 yuan, but he didn't expect that everyone here was asking for more than 50,000 yuan.
"Mr. Xiao, please come in.”
Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Bang in disdain and then said respectfully to the young man standing outside the door.
"Young Miss, you're welcome."
Xiao He nodded slightly and walked in with the notebook in his hand.
This notebook was rushed over the past few days. The goal was to wait for today, so everyone would write a page. His name, family, and most importantly, the amount of money were all written clearly.
Xiao He's entrance made the squires 'eyes light up. He was elegant and extraordinary, and he was neither servile nor overbearing when facing them. This was different from Liu Bang's pretense. His words and actions were very natural.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Lu Zhi's attitude was very good and polite because Fang Tianfeng had told him that Xiao He was a talented person, so he had to treat him with courtesy.
"Since you said that you're He Qianwan and that your name is Liu Bang, I wonder if you're on this account?”
However, Lu Zhi didn't give Liu Bang any face at all and flipped through the account book in front of him.
There was a hint of approval in Xiao He's eyes. Although she was a woman, her swift and decisive way of doing things was indeed amazing. Moreover, although she did not hide her difference in attitude towards people, no one was unsuitable.
There was no need to respect a hooligan like Liu Bang.
Face was earned by oneself. If you were shameless, then there was no need for others to give you face.
Moreover, when he was keeping accounts outside the door, the servants 'attitudes also showed that the Lu family had a good upbringing.
Even their servants knew that they wouldn't look down on ordinary people. They just didn't like shameless people like Liu Bang. It could be said that this was the most cultured aristocratic family that Xiao He had ever seen.
