Inside the Savant's Restaurant.
As soon as Yang Hao finished his words, the dozen or so burly men surrounding Yang Hao and his son felt their hearts tighten. They turned around and looked at the inn owner nervously.
The innkeeper's face was pale, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his cheeks, but he was so scared that he didn't even dare to wipe them off.
Yang Hao's words really scared him.
This was no longer a threat.
Instead, it was as if a knife was held in Yang Hao's palm and placed on his neck. Life and death were completely in the hands of Yang Hao!
" I'll give…" The innkeeper's voice trembled as he said. A flattering smile appeared on his face as he bowed and smiled apologetically.
"Everything can be discussed. I didn't say it well just now and offended a few of you. Please forgive me and treat it as me farting. I'll withdraw the money now!”
As he spoke, the inn owner glared at the dozen or so waiters and waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly. He then walked behind the counter and took out an account book. He almost fainted when he saw the words on it and said in a trembling voice,
" I hope you know that the current price of a Ferghana Horse in Chang 'an City is around 10,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 60,000 strings of copper coins..."
Hiss--
In an instant, the inn was filled with gasps.
60,000 strings?
A residence in Chang 'an City only cost 600 strings of silver coins!
A ferghana horse could buy a hundred mansions!
Not only did Yang Hao and his son gasp, the old man and Li Er were also stunned.
The innkeeper's face was ashen white, and he couldn't even cry. He even wanted to die. A Ferghana Horse was worth ten thousand taels of gold. What was he thinking back then? How dare he accept such a huge bet!
Now, they had to compensate Yang Hao with 300 Ferghana Horses. Even if they added up all the Ferghana Horses in Chang 'an, it wouldn't be enough!
In other words, he had to exchange it for copper coins.
Three hundred Ferghana Horses were worth three million taels of gold. With the exchange rate of one tael of gold and six strings of copper coins, it was a total of eighteen million strings of copper coins!
The inn owner rushed out of the counter and knelt in front of Yang Hao, crying,"Yang Langjun, I kneel down and kowtow to you! This money, this little one really can't take it out! That's 18 million strings. Even if you sell this little one and his entire family, it won't be worth that much!”
Yang Hao sighed,"Look at your poor appearance."”
Yang Jingming was speechless.
Li Er was speechless.
The old man looked at the tattered cloth clothes Yang Hao was wearing, then looked at the brocade cloth worn by the inn owner. He cursed in his heart, who was the poor one.
The old man immediately felt jealous.
How could this kid be so good at earning money? He was able to earn three years 'worth of taxes for the imperial court without paying a single cent. If he was placed in the Ministry of Revenue, wouldn't the imperial court be rich?
But he wanted his father to become a dragon!
Monstrous talent, salted fish personality!
What a waste!
The old man felt even worse.
"Wuwuwu…I am poor and blind. I shouldn't have offended Yang Langjun!”The innkeeper also felt bitter when he heard the word "poor". He could not help but cry out loud. In the past, he did not expect anyone to call him poor, but now he was really poor!
That was eighteen million strings!
Even the imperial court might not be able to take out so much money, let alone the shopkeeper of an inn in the west city of Chang 'an. Even if he sold himself, he would not be worth a fraction of this money!
"The ground is cold. Don't kneel and don't cry.”Yang Hao sighed. He helped the inn owner up and said seriously,"Kneeling and crying won't solve the problem. Stand up and wipe your tears clean. Let's talk about how you're going to pay me back the 18 million strings.”
The innkeeper was excited at first, thinking that Yang Hao would let him go. Who would have thought that he would still want to pay back the money himself, and not a single cent at that? He cried out loud and knelt down to Yang Hao again with a plop. He hugged his thigh and cried,"I don't have money. I really can't afford it!"
