Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 558 557. Temporary Return (I)

"Since Li Kai's matter has come to an end."

"Follow up, just supervise."

"It's time for me to leave too."

At dawn.

Watching Li Kai enter Liu Yi's mansion in disguise as Liu Yi and begin his long life of hiding, Ye Qingcang also spoke and said this to Zi Nu and Jing Wei beside him, with a slightly regretful tone in his voice.

It didn't look like a joke, which surprised Zi Nu and Jing Wei.

However, Zi Nu was just a little surprised, while Jing Wei was moved.

Although Jingwei usually looks cold, it is hard to tell from his face what he was thinking about, and it did not attract the attention of Zinu and Ye Qingcang.

But compared to the taciturn Jingwei.

Zi Nu is undoubtedly much more adept at dancing with long sleeves.

He sighed and chatted with a bit of melancholy: "Although you mentioned before that you couldn't stay long because you had your own things to deal with, I really didn't expect that this couldn't stay long would be such a short time... At most, it's just one month, but what happened in this month, I have to say, is more and more exciting than what happened to me in the past year... Of course, I don't mean to keep you. We all know each other's character. Since you decided to leave, it must be that something happened on your side that you had to deal with. So, what I mean is: should I tell Han Fei, Honglian, Wei Zhuang and the others... A tall tree attracts the wind, they will definitely not be able to see you off, and the same is true for me, but it is not difficult to say goodbye in advance, so that you can avoid finding this place full of regrets when you think about it in the future."

"There's no need to say goodbye in advance."

"It's not like I can't come back."

“Occasionally, I’ll come over to take a look.”

"It's just that I can't stay here permanently."

"Whether I can help you... Anyway, don't count on this."

"If I have time, I will definitely help."

"But if you don't have time, please forgive me for my inability."

Ye Qingcang's relaxed tone quickly washed away Zi Nu's only depression. Immediately, he changed the subject and talked about what was going to happen next: "Of course, after I left, my control over this place must have decreased. In order to avoid accidents, there are some measures that require your assistance. It's hard to explain in a few words. Why don't we talk about it when we get back?"

"Alright."

"It just so happens that I can ask Han Fei about their progress."

"We are fighting on two fronts."

"The two of them deal with Ji Wuye."

"Let's steal the day."

"A lot of people from Zi Lan Xuan were withdrawn, and the main force is from Qi Jue Tang. But after all, we have been busy all night, and there should be an answer to whether we won or lost. Let's check the accounts and treat it as a post-war review."

"I guess... at this moment, they are also looking forward to the results from our side."

"Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"Let's bet... can they cheat and beat Ji Wuye?"

There was no smile in Zi Nu's tone, but her eyebrows were curved.

Took over Ye Qingcang's words.

Summarize what to do next.

It means to get it done in one trip.

Then, a rare joke was made to liven up the atmosphere.

Although the current atmosphere is already good.

Don't be too active.

However, Ye Qingcang did not let the atmosphere cool down. He picked up Zi Nu's topic and complained playfully, "Now that you've said that, if I bet, I can only bet on them losing, which is obviously impossible... With Han Fei's intelligence and Wei Zhuang's military strength, as long as Ji Wuye doesn't take action himself, he will definitely suffer the loss. There will be no second possibility... How about betting on something more interesting: How much military pay do you think they can get back this time?"

"good question!"

"Let me think about it... Anyway, the minimum amount is 100,000 taels of gold, because this military pay is not for profit, but for the sake of completing the mission!"

"It's impossible for Ji Wuye to build a warehouse alone."

"Besides, one hundred thousand taels of gold would take up quite a lot of space."

"If we pack it in boxes... about ten boxes."

"But that would be too heavy."

“Most people can’t lift it.”

"So, considering the problem of loading, there should be 20 to 30 boxes. If they are stacked together, they will still be a tall layer. Even if they are piled randomly, they can occupy an entire normal room."

"Based on my understanding of Wei Zhuang."

"Not to mention the rest, he can get back the 200,000 taels of gold." Zi Nu calculated and gave the figure.

Then, he looked at Ye Qingcang.

He asked, "What do you think?"

Two hundred thousand taels of gold.

Say no more, say less.

According to the weight comparison between ancient and modern times, 100,000 taels of gold is approximately equivalent to 130 to 150 million in modern times, and 200,000 taels is about 300 million. For an individual, it is definitely a sum of money that a person can never spend in a lifetime, and even the descendants within three generations can spend it at will, eating delicious food every day, and still not be able to spend it all.

But for people at Ji Wuye's level.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold, just sprinkle it on the water!
Even for Zi Nu, two hundred thousand taels of gold was not an amount she could not afford, it was just that she might have to squeeze a lot of money.

Zi Lan Xuan is the best solution as a romantic place.

At least in South Korea, it is the most high-end den of money.

Making a fortune every day is not enough to describe its grand occasion.

Although the expenses of Zilanxuan are just as high, the rouge and powder used by the girls, the silk and satin they wear, and the delicious delicacies they eat are all beyond the reach of ordinary people, because most of the beauties in the world are kept alive. Even if a beauty is born with natural beauty, working in the countryside all day will be tortured to premature aging, and her looks will be gone, and even her energy and spirit will be completely worn away.

Therefore, every beauty in Zilanxuan was made with gold, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they make a fortune every day.

Anyway, Ye Qingcang had seen the meals that the girls from Zilanxuan were eating.

Take Nanyue as an example.

When I wake up in the morning, I must have a bowl of rock sugar blood swallow to nourish myself.

To be honest, Ye Qingcang was not sure whether this dish existed in this era.

But this stuff is really delicious.

Although the process is extremely complicated, you first have to select the best blood bird's nest, soak it, wash it, and stew it with rock sugar. During the stewing process, you also need to strictly control the heat and time to ensure that the taste and nutrients of the blood bird's nest are not lost.

Even if it's not gold.

Its value must also be measured in silver.

Moreover, this is just Nanyue's personal preference. Other women also have their own favorite morning supplements, which can't even be considered breakfast.

And during the regular breakfast.

Four dishes and one soup are standard.

Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes are also standard.

As for Nanyue, she had eight dishes and one soup.

Further down, there is a set of six dishes and one soup, which is between the above two.

And in Nanyue’s recipe.

What impressed Ye Qingcang the most was a soup called Taishi Five Snakes Soup, because this soup requires famous ingredients such as the Bungarus multicinctus, the Corgi, the Water Snake, the Elaphe, etc. as the main ingredients, and adds chicken, abalone, fungus, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, and cooks it into a soup before it can be tasted.

Not sure if it has any nutritional value.

But it is truly incomparable in terms of deliciousness.

So, ten thousand taels of gold are really nothing.

According to what Zi Nu said casually, the money Zi Lan Xuan spent on these girls, just for food, clothing and daily necessities, was more than three thousand taels of gold every month, not to mention the talent and etiquette training of these girls. Zi Lan Xuan did save a lot of money on the piano skills because of the existence of Nong Yu, because Nong Yu's piano skills were top-notch among the seven countries, and she was definitely in the top three. But the other three arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting also cost a lot, not to mention etiquette training.

Count them piecemeal.

One month.

It would cost almost five thousand taels of gold.

That’s sixty thousand taels a year.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold is only enough for three years, and this is just the expenditure.

If you include income.

Zi Nu has a past year's account in her hands.

There are more than 100,000 taels of gold.

The counting unit is ten thousand liang.

Make a bet with Ye Qingcang.

Honestly, nothing surprising!
