My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost
Chapter 4 Mixed truth and falsehood
When the deputy general arrived at the military camp, he saw a man beside Zhao Jinghua and walked over quickly to ask, "General, who is this?"
"This is Mr. Su, come to discuss with me how to help the people."
The deputy general hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Su."
Wan Sutong saw the token on the deputy general's waist with a "Zhong" engraved on it and quickly returned the greeting, "Deputy General Zhong." Deputy General Zhong nodded without saying anything.
Zhao Jinghua turned around and looked at Lin Feng, "Don't go too far." Lin Feng nodded and looked at the military camp. It seemed that he wanted to stroll around the military camp.
Zhao Jinghua looked at Wan Sutong and asked, "Mr. Su, how much silver do you need? Where can you buy it?"
Wan Sutong knew from Zhao Jinghua's tone that he was sincere in helping. "Three taels of silver can be bought in the surrounding cities."
Deputy General Zhong sneered, "Master Su is too naive."
When Zhao Jinghua spoke again, his voice was somewhat cold. "In the surrounding cities, outsiders pay one tael of silver for one dou. Three dou is not enough for the common people to eat for a day. Could it be that the young master's mansion is only short of these three taels of silver?"
Wan Sutong hurriedly explained, fearing that Zhao Jinghua would misunderstand that Wan Yanzhong was corrupt. "No, I know a grain merchant. If I buy 500 buckets, it will feed the people for a month."
Zhao Jinghua thought for a moment and decided to trust Wan Sutong. He saw Zhao Jinghua transformed into a purse and looked at Wan Sutong with a smile in his eyes. "Well, if you don't buy the food, don't blame me for being ruthless." After that, his right hand hanging by his side transformed into a long sword, and the blade was slightly glowing red. At this time, Lin Feng suddenly walked towards the direction of Deputy General Zhong. Deputy General Zhong's eyes widened and he quickly stepped back.
Wan Sutong pursed her lips for fear of laughing out loud after reading it. At this time, the system introduced that "the Suihua sword is seventy-three centimeters long and four centimeters wide. The hilt is made of pure gold with a five-clawed golden dragon engraved on it. The sword tassel is a piece of fine mutton-fat white jade carved with an inch-long bamboo joint, and the tassel is made of gold thread. It is enough to see how noble the identity of the owner of this sword is. This sword was the sword of Zhao Hongyu, the emperor of Zhaoguo. When Emperor Hongyu passed away, he gave it to his eldest son Zhao Minghua, also known as Emperor Minghua. When Emperor Hongyu ascended to heaven, he gave it to the young Zhao Jinfang, but Zhao Jinfang learned swordsmanship, so he gave it to Zhao Jinghua." Wan Sutong swallowed her saliva when she saw this. She was not afraid but was thinking about how many points she would get if she sold this sword.
Zhao Jinghua took back the Suihua Sword without changing his expression. "If this can be accomplished, you can ask for any reward you want."
Wan Sutong nodded and took the purse. "Thank you, young master. I will wait for you one mile outside the city gate at noon tomorrow."
Zhao Jinghua hummed, "Master Su, is there anything else?"
Wan Sutong shook his head and said, "No more, Su will take his leave first."
Zhao Jinghua said nothing. Seeing this, Wan Sutong turned around and left immediately, thinking, "This young master is really generous in giving money. He actually gave me thirty taels of silver. A bushel of rice is only twenty-five points. That's a full 150,000 points! I'm rich!"
Deputy General Zhong watched Wan Sutong walk faster and faster and couldn't help wondering, "General, is this Young Master Su reliable?"
Zhao Jinghua turned and walked into the military tent. "It's half true and half false." Deputy General Zhong exclaimed and hurriedly followed him in. "Then do you still believe it?"
Zhao Jinghua chuckled and sat behind the desk. "Mr. Su, don't mention it beforehand. Are you looking for me to tell fortunes again?"
Deputy General Zhong chuckled and said, "I am worried about my wife at home today, so I came to ask you."
Zhao Jinghua nodded, his face expressionless, but his tone was gentle, "Birthday"
Deputy Zhong smiled. On the fifth day of the third month, Zhao Jinghua nodded and then raised his right hand to start calculating. After a while, seeing Zhao Jinghua put his hand down, Deputy Zhong hurried up the mountain. "How is it?"
Zhao Jinghua chuckled and spoke slowly, "She has been feeling a little sad recently. She is in the southwest. Maybe she is planning to come to the northern border to see you."
Deputy General Zhong's eyes were full of excitement. "Really?" Zhao Jinghua nodded without saying anything.
Wan Sutong had already returned to the Wan Mansion. She looked at the 150,630 points written on the scoreboard in front of her and smiled. "Let's have spicy hot pot next time." But after a moment, she hesitated again. "How many points does hot pot base cost?"
"Fifty points~ Host." The system seemed to know that Wan Sutong would be furious, and quickly added, "Host, don't question this system. After all, this is ancient times, and it's already very cheap."
Wan Sutong was suppressed by the system before she could get angry. She could only say "Oh, yes, can I see the picture first?" Then the system played a picture with a blank background. The hot pot base was not wrapped in a packaging bag, but in a ceramic bowl as big as an adult man's fist. "It's quite in line with ancient times." Wan Sutong looked at the ceramic bowl and couldn't help sighing, "Forget it, it's enough to buy two dou of rice."
After the system took back the picture, Wan Sutong sighed and began to think, "Maybe I can open a restaurant in the future, but the cost is a bit high. If the price is too high, customers will not buy. If I can also provide accommodation, I can make it cheaper with the room rate. It seems that I can only open a restaurant." Thinking of this, she spoke again, "Can the system exchange for silver?"
The system nodded and said, "Of course, but the host wants to open a restaurant, which is not a small amount. If there is no land deed, the cost will be higher. The monthly rent in the most prosperous area of Kyoto is one tael of silver, and the annual rent is twelve taels."
Wan Sutong sighed like an eggplant hit by frost, "Let's talk about it later."
The next day, Wan Sutong was awakened by a knock on the door. Wan Yanzhong shouted in front of the gate, "Nannan, it's almost noon. Are you up? Daddy has prepared breakfast."
Wan Sutong raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, but she fell asleep again.
Seeing no one answering, Wan Yanzhong was a little surprised. His daughter had never slept in, so why hadn't she woken up today? After a moment, she shook her head and dispelled her doubts. Maybe she was tired these days. Wan Yanzhong knocked on the door again, "Nannan! Hurry up and eat."
At this time, the system in the room waved in front of Wan Sutong, "Host, it's almost noon."
Wan Sutong woke up instantly after hearing this, threw off the quilt and stood up quickly. Wan Sutong came to the bronze mirror. It was blurry but she could see that her hair was extremely messy. Wan Sutong picked up the wooden comb and started to comb her hair. Fortunately, she used to like wearing Hanfu, so she could comb any bun.
After a while, Wan Sutong combed her hair into a double bun, which she was best at. Then she walked to the closet and took out a purple dress with grape-patterned patterns. After quickly changing her clothes, she went to the yard to get a basin of water, started to wash up, wiped her face, opened the gate, and called Wan Yanzhong sweetly, "Daddy."
When Wan Yanzhong saw his daughter smiling at him, all the worries in his mind were swept away in an instant. Wan Sutong could smell the smell of mutton soup from a long distance away. She looked down and saw Wan Yanzhong holding the food box. She took it with joy and said, "Thank you, Daddy. Have you eaten yet?"
Wan Yanzhong touched Wan Sutong's head and said, "Daddy has eaten." Then he sighed and said, "Nannan, can you really buy food?"
Wan Sutong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Daddy. I'll leave everything to you. I'll go buy food after dinner."
Wan Yanzhong was a little worried about Wan Sutong going out alone as a girl. "Daddy, let's go with you."
Wan Sutong quickly shook her head, "No need, Daddy, don't worry, your daughter won't reveal her identity." Just as Wan Yanzhong was about to speak, Wan Sutong held his right hand and shook it left and right, "Daddy~"
Wan Yanzhong sighed and said, "I'm sure nothing will go wrong with the eldest master here." Wan Sutong nodded repeatedly.
At this time, the soldiers patrolling the barracks were discussing whether this unknown Mr. Su was reliable. Due to the heated discussion, they did not notice that Zhao Jinghua was standing behind them. "Brother Cheng, you don't know what the general is thinking. The general doesn't want women, but likes men."
The young soldier called Brother Cheng shook his head and said, "The general has his own decision. If we discuss the general here and let the general know, it will be troublesome."
The leading soldier shook his head and said, "As long as the ten of us don't tell on others," he patted his chest and said, "Brother Zhou promises you! The general won't know." After that, a pair of hands were placed on his left shoulder. He slapped the hands on his shoulders and said, "Don't make trouble, it's scary!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jinghua's cold voice came from behind, "Did you enjoy the chat?"
The soldier surnamed Zhou thought to himself that this was not good. He quickly turned around and led the soldiers to kneel down and salute. "I was wrong!" After saying this, his heart was beating fast and cold sweat broke out on the back of his head. He thought that the general's walking was silent. He didn't know how much the general heard.
Zhao Jinghua sneered and looked down at him, "Zhou Lang, how about you be my personal bodyguard from now on?"
After hearing this, Zhou Lang kowtowed immediately and said, "I know I was wrong. I hope the general will forgive my mistakes."
Zhao Jinghua bent down and helped Zhou Lang up. "Get up. When did I say I was going to punish you? From now on, you will live in the same tent with me." The other nine people lowered their heads quickly, because they knew very well that Zhao Jinghua got up at yinshi every day to practice sword, no matter how cold the winter was. Now Zhou Lang had offended Zhao Jinghua again. If he became his personal guard, he would definitely suffer. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Jinghua patted his shoulder and said, "Zhou Lang, if you follow me, you will naturally be rewarded in the future. Your status in the army will also be higher than that of Lieutenant General Zhong."
Zhou Lang was moved when he heard this. He had two elders and younger brothers and sisters at home who needed him to support them. If he followed Zhao Jinghua, he might even be crowned a king or a marquis in the future. So what if he had to endure hardships now? Zhou Lang kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."
Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "You changed your words quickly. Get up." He looked at the nine people who were about to bury their heads in their chests and said, "I won't punish you when the war is imminent. You all have old and young people in your families, and I won't deduct your military pay. How about you nine people drive the carriages to transport the food?"
The nine soldiers hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness."
Zhao Jinghua turned and walked into the military tent. Zhou Lang followed him immediately. Inside the military tent, Zhao Jinghua scooped a bucket of water from the wooden barrel and poured it into the copper basin. He sighed and said, "I have always been optimistic about your strength, but you are too gossipy." He handed the copper basin to him for him to wash.
Zhou Lang stepped forward and began to wash. After the dirt on his face was washed off, he looked extremely handsome, with a pair of dark sword-like eyebrows, a straight and soft nose bridge, with the immaturity of a teenager, and a pair of lips that were thin on the top and thick on the bottom. The corners of his mouth were flush with his lips. He had no expression at this time, so he looked extremely indifferent, which was completely opposite to his personality.
