Chapter 38 I have money
The bank note is fifty taels of denomination and is the symbol of Huixing Bank, which is commonly used in the whole country.
Gu Yundong's eyes lit up involuntarily, and he heard Nie Cong say, "This is a reward from the prefect, your portrait is so useful, we took it and went to search, but I didn't expect more than one person to have seen this person. Just last night, people were caught by us, and even some of his subordinates were given a nest."
Nie Cong said that he was still very excited, even though he had been busy for a few days, he was still in high spirits, "Your Excellency said that you have made great achievements, but you don't know, the thieves have entered the city at some point, and if they can't be caught a few days later. People, we are going to have an accident here. Keep the fifty taels of silver and buy something for yourself, look at you, you look pretty, just this dress..."
Xu is a little familiar, Nie Cong speaks a lot more casually.
Gu Yundong pretended not to hear it, and happily took the silver note and looked at it. She has to find an opportunity to exchange silver, anyway, she has space and is not afraid of the weight of silver.
Unexpectedly, Nie Cong took out two more silver ingots, "I'll give you this too. This is the entrance fee you paid when you entered the city, and the lord said it will be returned to you."
Gu Yundong was surprised, and hurriedly brought it over, "Your prefect is really a good person, and your life is safe."
"..." Nie Cong looked at his empty palms, the money grab was too quick and obvious.
He shook his head and laughed, "I can't see that you are still a money basket. Well, the money is given to you, and I should go too."
Gu Yundong waved his hand, letting him do whatever he wanted.
However, Nie Cong just walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and whispered, "There is one more thing I need to tell you first."
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Yundong finally looked away from the bank note, "What's the matter?"
"I just came back from the yamen, and I saw people coming from the capital. I vaguely heard, from the capital..." His voice became even lower, almost inaudible, "The emperor has died."
Gu Yundong was taken aback, Your Majesty, that is a word that is far, far away from her.
But she didn't like the emperor very much. There was a famine in Yongning Mansion, and many people died of starvation. For so long, she couldn't wait for the imperial court to send someone to come over to deal with the disaster. She heard that the emperor is still drinking and having fun in the palace, and the concubines have sealed one after another, and even coincidentally set up a plan to increase the tax.
died, that's fine.
Nie Cong reminded her, "The announcement should be posted and spread all over the city soon. It may be a little chaotic during this time. Try not to go out and walk around, don't wear red and green, and drink for fun. The emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne. , there will definitely be some action, you just wait for the news."
"Thank you for reminding me." Gu Yundong knew that he was referring to the famine. The previous emperor did not act, and the new emperor did not know what the regulations were. I hope he was not someone who regarded human life as a must.
After ?? Nie Cong left, a notice was posted at the city gate that afternoon.
The emperor died, the world mourned, and the people had to mourning for three months. During this period, they were not allowed to wear red and green.
Two days later, another notice was posted on the city gate. The new emperor was enthroned as Emperor Wu of Jin, and the next year was changed to the first year of Xingtai.
Whether it is the death of the previous emperor or the enthronement of the new emperor, these are all too far away from Gu Yundong, and she doesn't care too much.
I didn't expect that the first fire of the new emperor would be burned in Yongning Mansion.
The imperial court finally dispatched a minister to Yongning Mansion for disaster relief.
