No, brother, I can't let you be a lawyer. Although Baoting's eyes were full of gratitude, he refused to say
Baoting's reaction was the same as Li Zhiyang, so I had to say to Baoting again. It was nothing more than that I had a close relationship with Bao Daxiang. I couldn't bear to see that Mr. Yin was in a humble age and was facing prison. I also wanted to start from the name of the punishment. Anyway, I had already been a constable, I didn't care about being a more lawyer, etc.
In fact, Li Zhiyang also quoted the clause in the Ming Dynasty Law that the younger brother did not prove his brother, the wife did not prove his husband, and the slave did not prove his master, saying that I was not suitable to be a lawyer in this case. I retorted that I had no in-law relationship with Bao Daxiang, so Li Zhiyang stopped talking more, in fact, if it weren't for Baoting, even if Bao Daxiang was beheaded by the whole family, what would happen to me?
Yes, no matter how bad the reputation of a lawyer is, he is still better than a thief
Jie Yu muttered in a low voice, and saw me glaring at her hard, she quickly changed the subject and said to Baoting with a smile: Although he is lustful, he is sincere to his sister. He didn't find a lawyer in the morning, and his face turned green. Then, let him do it.
Baoting was so ashamed that even his neck was red, but the glance he glanced at me was emotionally mixed in Jie Yu, who saw it, touched her nerves, a hint of throbbing flashed in his eyes, his lips bite, and a very low sound came from his nose. Humph!
It is hard to repay my brother's kindness, even if it is broken into pieces, the concubine is hard to repay.
Baoting walked up to me and floated down and bowed: If my brother didn't dislike the appearance of a lowly concubine Pu Liu, I would like to make a bed and a quilt for my brother and serve my brother for the rest of my life
Baoting is a reserved person. In front of so many people, she expressed her intention to belong to me. Obviously, she had made up her mind to not marry me, but I knew that she felt more grateful than admiration in her heart, so she was not too excited. She helped her to whisper in her ear: Baoting, I know you are in order to repay your kindness, but I believe that one day you will be willing to bow down under me.
Baoting lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head and looked at me. His eyes were full of charm.
After my repeated negotiations, I finally met Bao Daxiang's owner, the parents of the Yin family, and my future father-in-law Yin, the old man Yin Chenghuang
Li Zhiyang did everything he could do. Although the old man's cell was not much better, it was not bad either. Under the pressure of the provincial government, the old man could still receive such treatment. I am really grateful to Li Zhiyang.
When I saw him, he was putting the last little vegetable into his mouth. The disease that had been destroyed for many years had destroyed his body. His skinny appearance could not tell at all that he was dominating the business world. It seemed that he was no different from the death row prisoners waiting to be killed next to him. It was just that the light that occasionally leaked from the corners of his eyes made people vaguely feel his past style.
After staring at each other silently for a while, the old man suddenly nodded and said: Very good, you are Wang Dong, right?
I don't know when I became so famous in the Yin family, but the old man's words still made me happy for a while. At least Baoting did not avoid my existence at home
I heard a lot of legends about you. The old man said slowly. His words suddenly reminded me of Baoting Yifeng's face. I have never seen the disguise technique that can be called disguise. Although the Yin family is a businessman, it seems to have a close connection with the world.
The legendary thing is that I should be a thief
Although I am helpless, these are all facts. I don’t want to put a layer of disguise as a gentleman on me: Actually, I am a thief. I have had countless women, and now I have two concubines around me. I will marry another one recently because I love her, and she is pregnant with my child. I also have a lot of female slaves. In the eyes of others, what is I not a thief?!
You are not my ideal son-in-law. Maybe my straightforwardness makes the old man become straightforward, although I may be the only hope that he can be freed from the cage at present: I have always hoped that Baoting can live a simple life, and a scholar like Danzhi is the ideal object of Baoting.
The old man sighed: Unfortunately, my body is not good anymore, and Baorui is too young, so Baoting has to take on the burden of Bao Daxiang.
The old man's words are full of love for his daughter, just like my parents. If they weren't for me to make me stand out, would they be willing to leave their hometown?
I have seen many times in Baoting. It is probably difficult for scholars like Danzhi to be as she wishes. I know that my daughter did not follow the path she designed, which makes the old man a little sad: But she began to mention you frequently at home, and I knew that one day you will become my son-in-law. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I can see that day...
I don't know if the old man is testing me or is really discouraged, but my intuition tells me that no matter what, the old man's life will not last too long, because even if he can go out alive, Bao Daxiang may have finished playing. For the old man who devoted his life's hard work to Bao Daxiang, without Bao Daxiang, the meaning of his life's existence seems to no longer exist. If he loses the motivation to survive, how long can he live with the disease?
Thank you, I hope that there is the honor to call you "Dad". Moreover, I think Baoting will also hand over a complete Bao Daxiang to Baorui.
No wonder Baoting always mentioned you. After listening to my plan, the old man's eyes lit up suddenly, as if the desire to survive was rekindled
For the first time, not only did the Hangzhou magistrate personally tried, but also Lu Shougong, the head of the Zhejiang Department of the Thirteenth Qing Literature of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, came to Hangzhou to take charge. I knew that Ding Cong and his team were about to kill Bao Daxiang.
Wang Dong, I miss you as an juren, don't kneel down. Wen Gongda looks kind but looks murderous: He takes the prisoner Yin Chenghuang
Slowly! I suddenly shouted, the sound was crisp and bright, and it suppressed the mighty shouts of the yamen runners. Even more than two hundred civilians who were watching the fun suddenly closed their mouths and looked at me in unison
Sir, what crime did Yin Chenghuang commit? I asked while bowing with me as if I was obedient.
Wen Gongda frowned: Bao Daxiang bought stolen goods and sold stolen goods, smuggled and sold smuggled. Yin Chenghuang is Bao Daxiang's boss, Wang Dong, what crime did you think he committed?
I laughed in my heart. This old guy really cooperated with me. His eyes swept across the crowd of people listening. The trusty eyes of Yi Guorong Wuxia and Jieyu cast to me, but most people seemed to be watching my jokes.
My eyes fell on a strong man. Seeing that his clothes should be a gangster in the city, can you step forward and speak?
The man was obviously a man who was not afraid of trouble. He stood up without hesitation and walked near me across the fence. When the yamen runners saw that the magistrate did not say anything, they did not stop him.
Your surname?
My surname is Zhang, Zhang Zhongchen
I suddenly pulled him to the trial table: Lord, report Zhang Zhongchen for buying stolen goods and selling stolen goods, smuggling and selling stolen goods, please detain him!
Zhang Zhongchen was startled, and the hall was in an uproar. Wen Gongda slapped the auspicious tree and shouted: Noisy! Wang Dong, how can you falsely accuse our law-abiding people in court, saying that he bought stolen goods and smuggled and sold stolen goods. Do you have any evidence?
I have no evidence, I just acted in a play with Brother Zhang.
I sent Zhang Zhongchen, who was scared and sweating, back to his original place, and bowed and said: Master said that Bao Daxiang bought stolen goods and sold stolen goods, and smuggled and sold privately, is there any evidence?
Wen Gongda was about to refute me, but Lu Shougong whispered in his ear. Although the voice was small, I could hear it clearly: Sir, don't try to talk to him. Evidence should be used at the most critical point.
Wen Gongda took a deep breath and said: Take the suspect Yin Chenghuang
Although the suspect and the prisoner are only one word different, the meaning is thousands of miles apart. The common people in the hall seem to have heard the difference, and a discussion started for a while
This lawyer seems to be very powerful! Didn’t you hear Master Wen say he is a Juren?! Second son, you are not well-informed. Wang Dong is not only a Juren, but also a Jie Yuan list! No wonder...
But I secretly figured out the meaning of Lu Shougong's words in my heart. Has the government obtained any new evidence?
When Mr. Yin was put into court, there was a commotion in the crowd. Bao Daxiang's headquarter was still in Yingtian in name. Mr. Yin was suffering from a strange disease and lived in seclusion on weekdays. Few people in Hangzhou recognized him. His thin bones were obviously beyond the expectations of most people. Even Jie Yu had a surprised look. Only Wuxia seemed to have seen the old man of the Yin family, and his expression was not unusual.
After a routine question like what his surname is, where is his home furnishings, Wen Gongda suddenly slapped the auspicious tree and said: Yin Chenghuang, I asked you, the second and third years of Zhengde, how much is the annual income of Baodaxiang?
I felt aroused in my heart. I had read the smuggling record of Bao Daxiang recorded by Zhang Jin in detail. According to reports, Bao Daxiang started smuggling activities in the third year of Zhengde. Wen Gongda obviously read the account book carefully. When he asked this case, he obviously wanted to find out the doubts about the irrationality of Bao Daxiang's annual income.
In the second year of Zhengde... Mr. Yin also recalled for a moment and reported a number: My number earned 173,800 taels of silver every year, and the next year, he earned 370,300 taels of silver every year.
Do you remember it very clearly? A look of surprise appeared on Wen Gongda's face: 370,000 taels. A jealous look flashed in Wen Gongda's eyes: The huge Taicang salt farm is only 600,000 taels a year for salt tax. You are just Bao Daxiang, and you have more than 300,000 taels of silver in a year. It's really a good idea to make money. Wen Gongda sarcastically said that
My account is fair in trading, and it is not difficult to make money, and with the support of all the villagers! Mr. Yin said without being soft or hard
Oh? Wen Gongda sneered: Bao Daxiang’s transactions are fair? Let me ask you, how much did you spend on buying jewelry materials in the second year of Zhengde? How much did you spend in the third year of Zhengde?
In the second year of Zhengde, the purchase expenditure of all items of my account was more than 134,000 taels of silver, while in the third year of Zhengde, the purchase expenditure was less than 219,000 taels of silver.
Even Wen Gongda was a little surprised to Mr. Yin’s quick answer: You are honest!
He threw two books in front of Mr. Yin: This mansion has calculated for you that in the second year of Zhengde, your gross profit of Bao Daxiang was two cents and nine cents and one, and the four words of fair transactions were reasonable, but in the third year of Zhengde, Bao Daxiang's gross profit suddenly rose to six cents and eight cents and two cents, which was simply a cannibalistic! In the next ten years of Zhizhengde, Bao Daxiang's gross profit was not lower than six cents. Yin Chenghuang, you explain to our mansion! He shouted angrily
The curses suddenly rang out of the crowd. Those who had bought Bao Daxiang jewelry heard that Bao Daxiang had such a high gross profit. They thought that they didn't know how much money they had earned by Bao Daxiang, and they all shouted angrily. Someone even threw the food in their hands at Master Yin with resentment.
I was shocked suddenly. Wen Gongda's clever method of trial. A opening remark not only made Bao Daxiang passive, but even the people stood on his side. Seeing a hint of pride flashing across his face, and Mr. Yin's discernment had been obscured in the anger of the crowd. I knew that Wen Gongda could no longer lead the process of trial like this.
My eyes fell on a city woman who was so angry that she almost beat her chest and stamped her feet. The woman was in her early thirties and had a beaded hairpin on her head. The style was very old, but the workmanship looked quite exquisite.
This sister-in-law, I gave a deep gift, and the call from my mouth used the roar of the Lion of the Sage of Shaolin Buddhism. It was learned secretly when I was having sex with the elder Mu Chan in Suzhou and Shaolin Precepts Hall.
This Buddhist magical skill has indeed shocking power. The lobby suddenly became quiet. The woman looked dazed for a moment before she returned to normal. Perhaps because of the lessons of Zhang Zhongchen's past, she looked at me vigilantly and said: What's the matter?
Have your sister-in-law ever bought Bao Daxiang’s jewelry?
It seemed that she had touched her pain all of a sudden. She pulled out the beaded hairpin and said excitedly: Why haven’t you bought it? I bought this hairpin from Bao Daxiang. You are a judge. If you kill a thousand swords like this, you will make a profit of six points. How much money should I earn!
When will my sister-in-law buy this hairpin and how much does it cost?
The woman recalled for a while and said that it was bought by Zhengde for three or three cents of silver at the Hangzhou City of Baodaxiang in seven years. I looked at the gold hairpin and quickly estimated its value. Fortunately, it was not as expected. Baodaxiang did not want to make much profit from these cheap goods.
I took out ten taels of silver notes and handed them to the woman: This sister-in-law wants to buy this hairpin for ten taels of silver. Is the sister-in-law willing to sell it?
The woman took the silver note and saw that it was issued by Datong Money House. She immediately turned her heart and stuffed the hairpin into my hand. She ran to the back of the crowd as if she was afraid that I would regret it.
Sir, please look at this beaded hairpin. After taking the hairpin, I weighed its weight and felt more aware of it. I put the hairpin on the desk: If the student read it correctly, this hairpin should be made of pure gold.
I unscrewed the pearl inlaid with the hairpin and said: Can you weigh it? How much gold is used in this hairpin?
Everyone looked at me for no reason. Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong were not clear about it. Wen Gongda frowned and said: Wang Dong, what does this hairpin have to do with this case? If you disrupt the court like this, I will beat you out!
Adult, this hairpin is indeed related to this case! Don’t you want to know how Bao Daxiang makes money? Students will come to help you solve your doubts!
Wen Gongda looked at the people in the hall with their necks stretched out and looked at themselves intently. He knew that I had aroused their curiosity and was inconvenient to refute, so he ordered someone to find a craftsman to appraise and weigh it. The craftsman said that the hairpin was indeed made of pure gold, and it was 8 coins of gold.
This is almost the same as what I estimate: The Taizu of this dynasty's law, the Daming Baochao is always 1 tael of silver, and the four taels of gold is 1 tael of gold. In this way, the exchange of gold and silver is one to four. I am so happy to say: Eight coins of gold and two taels of silver, and this bead, can you borrow the account of Bao Daxiang Zhengde in the seventh year to see it?
I quickly found the input items of Baodaxiang raw materials, and under the pearl column, I wrote more than 30 expenditures, including top-quality sandal beads, top-quality lake beads and even first-grade East China Sea beads.
Please look at this item. I pointed to a place and said to Wen Gong: On the eighth day of the third lunar month, one hundred scattered pearls will be added, and one hundred and ten taels of silver will be the cheapest pearl that Bao Daxiang has ever bought back then. Calculate it, each pearl will cost one liang, one qian, six Ah.
Mr. Yin immediately understood my intention, and his eyes showed a look of relief and appreciation.
Wuxia Reconciliation Yu is also a smart person. Wuxia looks naturally warm and proud of me, while Jieyu is thinking about something
And the one who was very smart in the hall had calculated the cost of the hairpin and shouted: How is it possible? The hairpin alone costs three taels per cent and six, and Bao Daxiang only earns one 4. Could it be that it opened a charity hall?
Of course not! I was confident: Of course, Bao Daxiang did not open a charity hall, and the six-point profit that Master Wen said was not false, but Bao Daxiang did not make money from us ordinary people. It is not easy for neighbors to save some money. How could Bao Daxiang make money from everyone against his conscience?!
Everyone suddenly started to talk, and someone immediately took out a ring and asked me to estimate the capital. As a result, Bao Daxiang only made four cents of profits, and the resentment towards Bao Daxiang suddenly disappeared, and everyone's faces were filled with confusion. Since Bao Daxiang did not make everyone's money, how did the six cents of profits mentioned by the prefect get?
Seeing that I easily diverted the hearts of the people, Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong both had a gloomy face: Wang Dong, the mansion asked you, how did Bao Daxiang get such a huge profit? Was it smuggled Ah?
I have to admire Wen Gongda. I heard that when he was the county magistrate before he became the prefect of Hangzhou, he had tried many big gangs. It was indeed amazing. As soon as the topic changed, it made people wonder if Bao Daxiang's huge profit was earned by smuggling
Adults, students have long heard that adults are good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy and painting, and they are very good at calligraphy and painting. They also have close friends with Jie Yuan in Wuzhong and Tang Dynasty, and contain many authentic works by Jie Yuan in Tang Dynasty, which makes students envious!
Although I changed the subject again, these words were scratching Wen Gongda's itchy place, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Taohua Temple in Taohuawu, and the peach blossom fairy in Taohua Temple planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms for wine money... Tang Bohu's famous peach blossom song is obviously very popular. After I chanted it, the people in the hall actually started to chant it, which turned into a chorus.
If a peach blossom can get some money for wine, it will be a pie that has fallen from the sky.
After the chorus of the song was finished, I said lightly: Tang Jieyuan didn’t have to work hard to paint for two years before he could save enough silver and build the paradise Taohua Temple. As far as students know, Tang Jieyuan had a half-foot landscape and earned ten taels of gold at that time, and the famous "Mountain Quiet Sun Long Picture" was sold for 100 taels of gold. May I ask, how much does Tang Jieyuan spend on pen, ink and paper?
Wen Gongda never dreamed that I would make a breakthrough here. He suddenly became speechless, but Lu Shougong was calm and said: Wang Dong, how can Bao Daxiang be compared with Tang Jieyuan? How can Tang Jieyuan's efforts devoted to the painting be measured by money!
What the lord said is very true! I said quickly and did not give him time to breathe and think: When it comes to writing poetry and painting, Bao Daxiang is more than 100,800 miles away from Tang Jieyuan! However, when it comes to the meticulous craftsmanship of jewelry, why should Bao Daxiang be afraid of anyone in the world?!
I said passionately: I remember that the seven major players in Baodaxiang were famous in Jiangnan. Their status in the jewelry industry was no less than that of Tang Jieyuan in the literary world. Every piece of jewelry they created was a treasure. The effort they devoted to these jewelry was just like the effort that Tang Jieyuan put into paintings, and it could not be measured by money!
I suddenly took out a jade-carved little monkey from my arms and presented it to me in front of Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong: Look, although this little monkey uses the best Khotan jade, the value of jade will not exceed 150 taels of silver. However, after careful carving by Bao Daxiang's chief master Zhou, then, when his uncle bought this item as a birthday gift for students in the ninth year of Zhengde, the fee was as high as 1,000 taels of silver. I guess he knew exactly where Bao Daxiang's profit came from!
Looking at the lifelike jade carving little monkey, Lu Yi was confused. A master quickly moved Bao Daxiang's account book for the ninth year of Zhengde and carefully looked through it, but he could not help but wink at the two of them. Obviously, the records on the account book were exactly the same as what I said.
Speaking of which, the people are the easiest to be guided. My strong words and Mr. Yin's pitiful look completely made the people change their views on Bao Daxiang, and they even started to make a fuss: Brother Wang is right, how much is the craftsmanship worth? You can make money from rich people. Bao Daxiang is making the right money. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Where can the government do it?! For a moment, the hall was noisy and chaotic.
Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong looked at each other, knowing that there was no hope for finding a breakthrough from Bao Daxiang's summer entry, and there seemed to be no good idea for a while. Wen Gongda beat the awkward tree: It was almost noon, and today's court trial ended here, and we will leave!
Baoting's reaction was the same as Li Zhiyang, so I had to say to Baoting again. It was nothing more than that I had a close relationship with Bao Daxiang. I couldn't bear to see that Mr. Yin was in a humble age and was facing prison. I also wanted to start from the name of the punishment. Anyway, I had already been a constable, I didn't care about being a more lawyer, etc.

I retorted that I had no in-law relationship with Bao Daxiang, so Li Zhiyang stopped talking more, in fact, if it weren't for Baoting, even if Bao Daxiang was beheaded by the whole family, what would happen to me?

Jie Yu muttered in a low voice, and saw me glaring at her hard, she quickly changed the subject and said to Baoting with a smile: Although he is lustful, he is sincere to his sister. He didn't find a lawyer in the morning, and his face turned green. Then, let him do it.

It is hard to repay my brother's kindness, even if it is broken into pieces, the concubine is hard to repay.
Baoting walked up to me and floated down and bowed: If my brother didn't dislike the appearance of a lowly concubine Pu Liu, I would like to make a bed and a quilt for my brother and serve my brother for the rest of my life

Baoting lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head and looked at me. His eyes were full of charm.

In the second year of Zhengde, the purchase expenditure of all items of my account was more than 134,000 taels of silver, while in the third year of Zhengde, the purchase expenditure was less than 219,000 taels of silver.
Even Wen Gongda was a little surprised to Mr. Yin’s quick answer: You are honest!
He threw two books in front of Mr. Yin: This mansion has calculated for you that in the second year of Zhengde, your gross profit of Bao Daxiang was two cents and nine cents and one, and the four words of fair transactions were reasonable, but in the third year of Zhengde, Bao Daxiang's gross profit suddenly rose to six cents and eight cents and two cents, which was simply a cannibalistic! In the next ten years of Zhizhengde, Bao Daxiang's gross profit was not lower than six cents. Yin Chenghuang, you explain to our mansion! He shouted angrily
The curses suddenly rang out of the crowd. Those who had bought Bao Daxiang jewelry heard that Bao Daxiang had such a high gross profit. They thought that they didn't know how much money they had earned by Bao Daxiang, and they all shouted angrily. Someone even threw the food in their hands at Master Yin with resentment.
I was shocked suddenly. Wen Gongda's clever method of trial. A opening remark not only made Bao Daxiang passive, but even the people stood on his side. Seeing a hint of pride flashing across his face, and Mr. Yin's discernment had been obscured in the anger of the crowd. I knew that Wen Gongda could no longer lead the process of trial like this.
My eyes fell on a city woman who was so angry that she almost beat her chest and stamped her feet. The woman was in her early thirties and had a beaded hairpin on her head. The style was very old, but the workmanship looked quite exquisite.
This sister-in-law, I gave a deep gift, and the call from my mouth used the roar of the Lion of the Sage of Shaolin Buddhism. It was learned secretly when I was having sex with the elder Mu Chan in Suzhou and Shaolin Precepts Hall.
This Buddhist magical skill has indeed shocking power. The lobby suddenly became quiet. The woman looked dazed for a moment before she returned to normal. Perhaps because of the lessons of Zhang Zhongchen's past, she looked at me vigilantly and said: What's the matter?
Have your sister-in-law ever bought Bao Daxiang’s jewelry?
It seemed that she had touched her pain all of a sudden. She pulled out the beaded hairpin and said excitedly: Why haven’t you bought it? I bought this hairpin from Bao Daxiang. You are a judge. If you kill a thousand swords like this, you will make a profit of six points. How much money should I earn!
When will my sister-in-law buy this hairpin and how much does it cost?
The woman recalled for a while and said that it was bought by Zhengde for three or three cents of silver at the Hangzhou City of Baodaxiang in seven years. I looked at the gold hairpin and quickly estimated its value. Fortunately, it was not as expected. Baodaxiang did not want to make much profit from these cheap goods.
I took out ten taels of silver notes and handed them to the woman: This sister-in-law wants to buy this hairpin for ten taels of silver. Is the sister-in-law willing to sell it?
The woman took the silver note and saw that it was issued by Datong Money House. She immediately turned her heart and stuffed the hairpin into my hand. She ran to the back of the crowd as if she was afraid that I would regret it.
Sir, please look at this beaded hairpin. After taking the hairpin, I weighed its weight and felt more aware of it. I put the hairpin on the desk: If the student read it correctly, this hairpin should be made of pure gold.
I unscrewed the pearl inlaid with the hairpin and said: Can you weigh it? How much gold is used in this hairpin?
Everyone looked at me for no reason. Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong were not clear about it. Wen Gongda frowned and said: Wang Dong, what does this hairpin have to do with this case? If you disrupt the court like this, I will beat you out!
Adult, this hairpin is indeed related to this case! Don’t you want to know how Bao Daxiang makes money? Students will come to help you solve your doubts!
Wen Gongda looked at the people in the hall with their necks stretched out and looked at themselves intently. He knew that I had aroused their curiosity and was inconvenient to refute, so he ordered someone to find a craftsman to appraise and weigh it. The craftsman said that the hairpin was indeed made of pure gold, and it was 8 coins of gold.
This is almost the same as what I estimate: The Taizu of this dynasty's law, the Daming Baochao is always 1 tael of silver, and the four taels of gold is 1 tael of gold. In this way, the exchange of gold and silver is one to four. I am so happy to say: Eight coins of gold and two taels of silver, and this bead, can you borrow the account of Bao Daxiang Zhengde in the seventh year to see it?
I quickly found the input items of Baodaxiang raw materials, and under the pearl column, I wrote more than 30 expenditures, including top-quality sandal beads, top-quality lake beads and even first-grade East China Sea beads.
Please look at this item. I pointed to a place and said to Wen Gong: On the eighth day of the third lunar month, one hundred scattered pearls will be added, and one hundred and ten taels of silver will be the cheapest pearl that Bao Daxiang has ever bought back then. Calculate it, each pearl will cost one liang, one qian, six Ah.
Mr. Yin immediately understood my intention, and his eyes showed a look of relief and appreciation.
Wuxia Reconciliation Yu is also a smart person. Wuxia looks naturally warm and proud of me, while Jieyu is thinking about something
And the one who was very smart in the hall had calculated the cost of the hairpin and shouted: How is it possible? The hairpin alone costs three taels per cent and six, and Bao Daxiang only earns one 4. Could it be that it opened a charity hall?
Of course not! I was confident: Of course, Bao Daxiang did not open a charity hall, and the six-point profit that Master Wen said was not false, but Bao Daxiang did not make money from us ordinary people. It is not easy for neighbors to save some money. How could Bao Daxiang make money from everyone against his conscience?!
Everyone suddenly started to talk, and someone immediately took out a ring and asked me to estimate the capital. As a result, Bao Daxiang only made four cents of profits, and the resentment towards Bao Daxiang suddenly disappeared, and everyone's faces were filled with confusion. Since Bao Daxiang did not make everyone's money, how did the six cents of profits mentioned by the prefect get?
Seeing that I easily diverted the hearts of the people, Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong both had a gloomy face: Wang Dong, the mansion asked you, how did Bao Daxiang get such a huge profit? Was it smuggled Ah?
I have to admire Wen Gongda. I heard that when he was the county magistrate before he became the prefect of Hangzhou, he had tried many big gangs. It was indeed amazing. As soon as the topic changed, it made people wonder if Bao Daxiang's huge profit was earned by smuggling
Adults, students have long heard that adults are good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy and painting, and they are very good at calligraphy and painting. They also have close friends with Jie Yuan in Wuzhong and Tang Dynasty, and contain many authentic works by Jie Yuan in Tang Dynasty, which makes students envious!
Although I changed the subject again, these words were scratching Wen Gongda's itchy place, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Taohua Temple in Taohuawu, and the peach blossom fairy in Taohua Temple planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms for wine money... Tang Bohu's famous peach blossom song is obviously very popular. After I chanted it, the people in the hall actually started to chant it, which turned into a chorus.
If a peach blossom can get some money for wine, it will be a pie that has fallen from the sky.
After the chorus of the song was finished, I said lightly: Tang Jieyuan didn’t have to work hard to paint for two years before he could save enough silver and build the paradise Taohua Temple. As far as students know, Tang Jieyuan had a half-foot landscape and earned ten taels of gold at that time, and the famous "Mountain Quiet Sun Long Picture" was sold for 100 taels of gold. May I ask, how much does Tang Jieyuan spend on pen, ink and paper?
Wen Gongda never dreamed that I would make a breakthrough here. He suddenly became speechless, but Lu Shougong was calm and said: Wang Dong, how can Bao Daxiang be compared with Tang Jieyuan? How can Tang Jieyuan's efforts devoted to the painting be measured by money!
What the lord said is very true! I said quickly and did not give him time to breathe and think: When it comes to writing poetry and painting, Bao Daxiang is more than 100,800 miles away from Tang Jieyuan! However, when it comes to the meticulous craftsmanship of jewelry, why should Bao Daxiang be afraid of anyone in the world?!
I said passionately: I remember that the seven major players in Baodaxiang were famous in Jiangnan. Their status in the jewelry industry was no less than that of Tang Jieyuan in the literary world. Every piece of jewelry they created was a treasure. The effort they devoted to these jewelry was just like the effort that Tang Jieyuan put into paintings, and it could not be measured by money!
I suddenly took out a jade-carved little monkey from my arms and presented it to me in front of Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong: Look, although this little monkey uses the best Khotan jade, the value of jade will not exceed 150 taels of silver. However, after careful carving by Bao Daxiang's chief master Zhou, then, when his uncle bought this item as a birthday gift for students in the ninth year of Zhengde, the fee was as high as 1,000 taels of silver. I guess he knew exactly where Bao Daxiang's profit came from!
Looking at the lifelike jade carving little monkey, Lu Yi was confused. A master quickly moved Bao Daxiang's account book for the ninth year of Zhengde and carefully looked through it, but he could not help but wink at the two of them. Obviously, the records on the account book were exactly the same as what I said.
Speaking of which, the people are the easiest to be guided. My strong words and Mr. Yin's pitiful look completely made the people change their views on Bao Daxiang, and they even started to make a fuss: Brother Wang is right, how much is the craftsmanship worth? You can make money from rich people. Bao Daxiang is making the right money. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Where can the government do it?! For a moment, the hall was noisy and chaotic.
Wen Gongda and Lu Shougong looked at each other, knowing that there was no hope for finding a breakthrough from Bao Daxiang's summer entry, and there seemed to be no good idea for a while. Wen Gongda beat the awkward tree: It was almost noon, and today's court trial ended here, and we will leave!
