When he withdrew the banknotes from the Dong family, he intentionally took those with consecutive numbers. He remembered all the numbers. The last three digits were from 018 to 318. There were 300 bills in total, each worth 1,000 taels, for a total of 300,000 taels.
Dong Mingshan never thought that these banknotes would go around and end up in his hands again.
It seems that King Yongning and his men have the food and fodder provided by me in their military camp, and have not used this silver for the time being.
The prince did not embezzle the money privately, which made Dong Mingshan feel attracted to him.
Holding the box, Dong Mingshan thought for a while.
Thinking that Qian Chunhua would have no place to stay in the capital, there were also clansmen living in the Dong family's mansion, and it would not be convenient to live with those people.
The best way is to buy a house directly. Sister Chunhua has such a close relationship with the prince, she will definitely develop in the capital in the future.
After thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards Qian Chunhua's carriage.
Qian Chunhua, Zheng Lin and Zheng Hua were also packing their luggage, planning to leave as soon as possible.
"Sister Chunhua."
Qian Chunhua turned her head when she heard the voice. She saw Dong Mingshan and the box in his hand.
"Here you go." Dong Mingshan handed over the box in his hand.
Qian Chunhua pretended not to know what was inside. After opening it curiously, she found the banknotes inside. She looked at Dong Mingshan and asked, "What is this?"
Dong Mingshan smiled and said, "Keep it. You will need it when you get to the capital."
Qian Chunhua was very surprised. "Give it to me. No, no, I can't accept it. The army will need a lot of silver and food to fight the Turks."
When it comes to major issues, Qian Chunhua still has a clear mind.
Dong Mingshan understood Qian Chunhua's meaning and explained, "I have already prepared the food. It can be directly transferred from the warehouses of the Dong family in various places. I can withdraw the silver from the bank.
I used to cry poor to King Yongning because I didn’t want him to easily take the silver and food from me.”
Dong Mingshan paused, and then continued, "Sister Chunhua, you can buy some houses and shops when you go to the capital. Now that the war is at a stalemate, the prices of houses and properties must be cheap. Now is the time to make a move."
In fact, Qian Chunhua also had this idea, but she only had more than 40,000 taels of silver notes in her hand.
The last time Dong Nianmei got divorced, Madam Dong thought they were leaving and gave her a purse. However, too many things happened that day, and she was busy saving Qingfeng afterwards and was worried about his safety.
Qian Chunhua had not had time to check what was in the purse, but he had a guess that such a small purse was most likely filled with silver bills.
But she didn't know the exact amount. If the banknotes in her purse were not counted, Qian Chunhua would not be able to buy many houses in the capital with only 40,000 taels.
Qian Chunhua remembered what he had seen before he traveled through time. In the early days of the Song Dynasty, a decent house in the capital city cost tens of thousands of strings of coins to buy. In the later days, when inflation was severe, a decent house would cost hundreds of thousands of strings of coins.
Ten thousand strings of coins is about ten thousand taels of silver, so Qian Chunhua knew that the silver in his hand would not last long.
Including Xiao Wu, she has four children in total. In order to buy houses for them, marry them off, or prepare dowries, she also needs four houses.
Qian Chunhua shook her head. She found that she was thinking too far ahead. She must have been influenced by her mother.
I do need a large amount of money now, so since Dong Mingshan said so, I might as well borrow it first.
Qian Chunhua took the wooden box and said to Dong Mingshan, "I'll write you an IOU as a loan."
Dong Mingshan smiled and nodded.
"We'll make up the IOU after we get to the capital." Dong Mingshan said. Now in the military camp, there is no pen, ink, paper or inkstone.
Qian Chunhua didn’t have the space, but he didn’t take it out directly. Hearing this, he could only nod.
