Live as the emperor

Chapter 289

Chen Guang looked at him with a half-smile, and said lightly, "It sounds like that's the case, so let me ask you, how much did you give him for this box of tea?"

"This..." Wu Ciyou didn't expect Chen Guang to ask such a question, and he was at a loss for words for a while, not sure what Chen Guang wanted to do.

Could it be that His Royal Highness thinks the price is unfair?That's right, it's really not fair, such a good tea, let alone whether it was given by His Royal Highness, even if you buy it outside, the price is more than that.

Well, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is not very satisfied with this price, so at the worst, I can just send some gold over later, 100 taels, so His Highness the Crown Prince will be satisfied now.

Wu Ciyou began to calculate in his heart.

Seeing that Wu Ciyou was silent, Chen Guang slapped the table and made a loud bang. All the dishes on the table were shaken and flew up. The cup spun and twirled until it reached the edge and rolled down, hitting the ground and smashing into pieces.

"Tell me, how much did it cost?"

Wu Ciyou didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who seemed to be weak in writing, would be able to achieve this effect when he slapped the table. Coupled with Chen Guang's loud shout, he was immediately frightened.

"That...five taels of gold." Wu Ciyou said a number with some uncertainty.

Hearing the news, everyone was in an uproar.

"Wow, you can buy such a good tea with only five taels of gold. Why didn't I come across it?"

"Sure enough, there is a reason why the poor are poor. There are so many ordinary black teas that are not worth only five taels of gold. This is the top black tea bestowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is impossible to sell it without five hundred taels of gold."

Everyone was talking about it, and they were full of contempt for the person who sold this top-quality black tea at a low price.

Chen Guang couldn't help laughing angrily. He glanced at the group of people around and said loudly: "Everyone, I will buy this box of tea from you. Will you sell it for five taels of gold?"

No one spoke. In fact, what everyone thought in their hearts was that it was so cheap that ghosts would sell it.

But everyone also knows that saying this will undoubtedly offend Marquis Wu. After all, judging from the current situation, we can see that this is definitely not a simple transaction.

But in front of the prince, can you tell lies?You can't offend the prince just to please Marquis Wu, right?The crown prince is going to be the emperor in the future, and Marquis Wu has retreated to the second line, and he may return to ashes in ashes after how many years.

Both are not to be offended.

Ever since, everyone unexpectedly chose to remain silent.

Chen Guang couldn't help sneering in his heart, these officials are really good people, no one can offend them.

However, this is not the effect he wants.

"I think anyone who has been to Fuxiangji should know the price of black tea. Even if it is the lowest grade black tea, such a large box probably costs more than five taels of gold, right?"

Five taels of gold, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, was 50 taels of silver. This ratio was established in black and white by Chen Ang.Now with the development of social economy and the circulation of silver, silver has depreciated slightly, but the depreciation rate is not large. At most, five taels of gold can be exchanged for 60 taels of silver. Compared with this box of tea, it is still is not worth mentioning.

Even for medium-quality black tea, such a box costs at least 100 taels of silver. It definitely belongs to the category of luxury goods, otherwise even ordinary officials would not be able to afford it.

Not to mention the top-notch tea, not to mention the aura bestowed by the prince, it is sold as ordinary top-grade black tea, and it is impossible to buy it without 1000 taels of silver.

It can be seen from this that the price given by Wu Ciyou is so low.

Chen Guang's tone was very flat, and he suddenly became calm when he spoke, as if he was chatting with you calmly.

But don't forget, just a few blinks ago, he almost knocked a table apart with a slap.

So if you think that Chen Guang is calm now, you are very wrong.

Under normal circumstances, under the calm and silence, the undercurrent must have already been surging.

Chen Guang stared straight at Wu Ciyou, but when Wu Ciyou caught his gaze, it seemed like a thorn in his back, and he didn't dare to take another look, so he quickly lowered his head.

"I don't quite believe it. That Ah Fu, even if he doesn't know the price of black tea, but after all, I gave it to him. Even if it's an empty box, it's not just five taels of gold, right?"

Chen Guang said again.

And his words actually got everyone's approval, even if the thing that the crown prince rewarded was a piece of blank paper, five taels of gold would never be able to buy it.

"Tell me, how can he sell you tea for five taels of gold?"

"Like—you beat him up?"

As soon as Chen Guang said these words, Wu Ciyou's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

But how can you admit it?Wu Ciyou hurriedly said: "No, no, how could I be such a person? The thing is like this. At that time, I was also anxious to find a gift for grandpa. I finally saw that this tea was just right. Of course I was in a very good mood at the time. Excited, I told him that I wanted to buy these tea leaves. But at that time, I only had so much money, so I said to get the tea leaves back first, and then the five taels of gold would be regarded as a deposit. I plan to send him another 5000 taels of gold this afternoon. As for beating him, that is absolutely impossible. It may be that I have not dealt with some aspects well. At most, it caused a little physical conflict. It is definitely not me. He."

After Wu Ciyou finished speaking in one breath, he also felt his heart beating faster. Fortunately, my brother was clever and came up with such a reason.Well, 5000 taels of gold, is that much?Not too much, not too much, the so-called bankruptcy and disaster relief, as long as you can pass the prince's test, 5000 taels of silver are not expensive at all.

After listening to his explanation, these officials suddenly realized.

Let me just say, it is impossible to buy so much tea with five taels of gold, okay? 5000 taels is about the same.Although 5000 taels may be bought at Fuxiangji, you can buy a lot of black tea, but don't forget, this box is not ordinary black tea.Thinking about it this way, 5000 taels of gold does not seem to be expensive.

"This young master is also very filial. In order to celebrate Wuhou's birthday, he spent 5000 taels of gold to buy such a box of tea leaves."

"I think this deal is a good deal. If it were me, I would buy it for 5000 taels of gold. After all, there are not many opportunities to buy such good tea."

"Yes, yes, yes, young master, you are filial."

What Wu Ciyou said actually aroused a lot of praise from the officials present, and such words of praise, of course, must be said, otherwise how would the person involved know that you are praising him?He didn't know that you praised him, so wouldn't you just slap on the horse's leg if you flattered him?
