Chapter 899: This is the truth
Thirty thousand taels...gold.
Chen Kaizhi took a breath.
Although gold is within this barrier, it is not a currency, both because it is rare and precious. Generally speaking, the value of one or two gold is ten times that of silver.
And 30,000 taels of gold per year is definitely an astronomical figure for ordinary people, which is equivalent to nearly 300,000 taels of silver.
What kind of person is this, who can give so much gold when he takes action so generously.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but look at Gu Ming and asked seriously: "Who can give such a sum of gold?"
Gu Mingqi Ai Ai said: "Yes, this amount is too large. Occasionally, someone will send it every year, and the person sent it is the Yang family in Guanzhong."
The Yang family in Guanzhong...
Chen Kaiyi was stunned. The Yang family had already searched, but the money and grain found were only worth hundreds of thousands of silver. And how could the Yang family come from so much money to send it out at will?
Moreover, it is rare gold.
It can be seen that he still has many things here but he still hasn't figured it out.
Seeing Chen Kaiyi's contemplative look, Gu Ming couldn't help but say again.
"Because of this, the national master attached great importance to the Yang family in Guanzhong. Until three years ago, when I was still in the national master's mansion, one day, a strange guest came. The reason why it was strange was that this man did not leave a famous post, nor did he go into the middle door, but sat in a sedan chair and walked directly to the back door. The sedan chair was covered tightly. The national master was very polite to this guest and had already made preparations. The strangest thing was that the national master shut down everyone and asked me to go to serve the guests."
"I am in the mansion and my duty is not to be a guest, but the national teacher ordered me to be a guest. I realized that it must be this foreign guest who was unwilling to show up. I was deeply trusted by the national teacher, and others were not relieved, so I ordered me to pour tea and hand over water."
Chen Kaizhi looked at Gu Ming coldly: "What does this person look like?"
When Gu Ming touched Chen Kaizhi's gaze, he did not dare to lie, but said honestly.
"The Japanese look."
"Looking like a Japanese?" Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes, his eyes becoming deeper, with a little coldness.
"Yes." Gu Ming focused on the key point and did not dare to deceive anything.
"I thought he was a Japanese man before, but the national master called him Yang Duzhu. I only knew that he was the Yang family. But if he was just an ordinary Yang family, how could the national master be so polite to him? Besides, he was very old at first glance. During the greetings, I heard the national master say something about what Yang Duzhu is now changing his face. I thought about it carefully and realized that it was this person."
"What did they say?"
"I don't know." Gu Ming shook his head: "At that time, I was only responsible for pouring tea. After pouring tea, I stepped out and waited for instructions."
Chen Kaizhi said: "Has Yang entered the palace?"
"Yes." Gu Ming said: "I said I wanted to offer elixirs."
Immortal medicine...
The Japanese dressed up and spent so much gold to bribe the national master, and in the end they just wanted to offer immortal medicine.
Why is he dressed up as a Japanese? Could it be that his current identity has become a Japanese?
So, where did he come from so much gold? You must know that this gold is rare, and it is not easy to take out 30,000 taels of gold every year. In this era, or in other words, gold is a rare product in the entire pass, and gold has the function of monetary gold after the great discovery of geographical discovery.
Thirty thousand taels of gold, even if there are many gold mines, they may not be able to be easily mined.
As for the immortal medicine... Could this immortal medicine be the Wushi Powder again?
The more Chen Kaizhi thought about it, the more incredible he felt. What did this Yang Taigong want to do? He couldn't help but frown and continued to ask Gu Ming: "There are only these, and what else do you want to tell me?"
Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Yes, the man was very polite when he left, and nodded to me, like a spring breeze. I still remember how he smiled at me, and it is still unforgettable."
I just changed my mind and understood something.
This Yang Taigong is not simple, he is a very smooth person.
After all, Gu Ming at that time was just a monk who was entertaining guests, and it was nothing.
It is thought that Yang Taigong knew better than anyone else that ordinary servants were not qualified to entertain guests for such a confidential matter. Those who could entertain guests must be the most important confidant of the national teacher. Therefore, even though Gu Ming was not eye-catching at the time, he was still not stingy with his smile, which made Gu Ming still flattered and unforgettable now.
This may be one of his superb methods.
Chen Kaizhi smiled: "It's just these?"
Gu Ming said ashamed: "And... he gave me a gift at will."
"Gift?" Chen Kaizhi's eyes flashed: "What gift?"
Gu Ming hesitated for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "It has been searched by the Jinyiwei."
Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes and looked at Zeng Guangxian beside him.
Zeng Guangxian was busy going, and after a while, he took something. Chen Kaizhi took it and then frowned.
This is a glass...
No, to put it more simply, this is an ornament that is obviously made of transparent glass. It looks like jade, but Chen Kaizhi only touched it and knew that it was a very simple transparent glass.
In Chen Kaizhi's eyes, transparent glass is naturally worthless, but... in this era... maybe it's different.
Although there have been workshops in Jibei since then, and these glasses have also begun to be used, it is obvious that the jewelry of this glass was given to Gu Ming several years ago, so... this glass is definitely not something inside the pass.
After all, things in the world are precious. This glass that is worthless in later generations, but when Yang Taigong gave this jewelry to Gu Ming, it must be a rare treasure in Gu Ming's eyes.
In fact, this glass is not unavailable in the pass, but it is expensive and extremely rare. However, Yang Taigong gave this jewelry so easily. Obviously, in his eyes, the price of this jewelry is not high, and the manufacturing technology is not too difficult, but it can be used to win people's hearts.
Where is this made?
Chen Kaizhi played with the jewelry in his hand, but smiled: "It's just these? What did he say when he gave you this thing?"
Gu Ming said: "He said that this little intention is not worth a lot of money, so I will give it to me for fun."
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "That's all, what else do you know?"
"My..." Gu Ming smiled bitterly: "I have a deep impression of him. To this day, I still remember that I admire him very much. I always feel that when I was entertaining him that day, there was nothing in my body that was extremely happy. So I paid more attention to this Yang Taigong. I only knew that after he met the national master and entered the palace to offer elixirs, he never appeared in Daliang since then. However, he always had messengers coming and going to Daliang, and his messengers often became guests and treated by the national master. Since he was dressed as a Japanese man, I thought that he must have changed his appearance and changed his identity as a Japanese man, but I don't know if he was a Japanese pirate."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but frown and asked again: "His messenger goes to Daliang every year?"
"Yes." Gu Ming nodded and said, "In March every year, the wind and rain will not change."
Chen Kaizhi stared at Gu Ming. In fact, there was no need to verify. He knew that what Gu Ming said... was true.
Because even the whimsical person is afraid that he will not think of such a bizarre thing.
What's more... Chen Kaizhi was still playing with the glass jewelry in his hand.
Glass...is not without it.
A few years ago, glass jewelry, especially such crystal clear glass, was completely lucky to be fired, so it was extremely rare. But Yang Taigong said it was not valuable, so it must not be valuable, because even if he wanted to bribe Gu Ming at that time, he would never have spent so much money.
This is interesting. The glass jewelry must be overseas, but overseas... By the way, this person changed his appearance and became a Japanese. It is said that the Yang family once had a sea trade.
Then, many things can be explained. Gold may have been earned from overseas, and there is no doubt that they must have had a fortune, not in the Yang family, but hidden. As for glass accessories, they must be specialties from a certain place. In fact, glass is difficult to burn, and easy to say, but it is just a chance.
But why is it like this, the Yang family in Guanzhong and this Yang Taigong?
He could enjoy wealth and glory openly, but he insisted on doing this.
He went through all his efforts to layout in Dachen, Daliang, Yansheng Gong's Mansion, and the remnants of the sects, and even many places that Chen Kai did not know. Where did his resources come from, and what was his purpose?
Over the years, he has been deliberately trying to make so many arrangements. What exactly does he want to do?
No one has gone through a lot of trouble and has done so many things but has not gotten anything. Is it just to buy important people from all countries? It seems that this is not the case?
Chen Kaizhi was a little confused, but it was not the time when he thought too much. He stood up gently and only looked at Gu Ming coldly: "Go down."
Gu Ming hurriedly said: "It's time to say it, I've said it, Your Majesty..."
Chen Kaizhi didn't have any intention of paying attention to Gu Ming, but instead gave Zeng Guangxian a wink: "Check something..."
Zeng Guangxian was busy with rituals and listened attentively.
Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, then said coldly: "In the Japanese, we mobilize all the forces of Mingjingsi and Jinyiwei to investigate carefully. The Yang family was involved in the maritime trade affairs in the past. We sent people to Guanzhong to find out carefully. You have heard what Gu Ming said just now. Everything must be verified and investigated one by one. What the old fox wants to do, I am becoming more and more curious about."
