Chapter 171 King Xuan’s tricks(2/2)
Also rewarded were coral beads and jade pots,
The most interesting ones are a chessboard painted with flowers of the four seasons and a palm-sized gold booklet.
As the name suggests, the entire booklet is made of soft gold and connected with gold threads, making it appear fragile and beautiful.
Xue Qingyin grabbed the golden book and couldn't put it down.
King Xuan said, "This is the most expensive thing."
"Huh?" Xue Qingyin looked over, "His Highness, are you talking about the chessboard?"
"It is painted with crabapples, platycodon, peonies and other objects. The coloring is exquisite and it is worth tens of thousands of gold. It is enough for a family of five ordinary people to eat for seven hundred years."
Xue Qingyin was speechless.
She didn't know how much grain people needed to eat in a year now and how much a stone of grain cost.
When King Xuan made the calculation with her, she felt terrible.
No wonder everyone wants to be a rich and glorious person.
Even if it leaks just a little between the fingers, it is really immeasurable.
Xue Qingyin couldn't help but ask: "What if it's an army? How long can this chessboard support an army?"
Prince Xuan patiently explained to her: "Today, the entire army of the Liang Dynasty totals 800,000 men, in addition to countless servants. The annual military expenditure reaches tens of millions. If it is a war, it will be nearly 100 million."
Xue Qingyin: "..."
This is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Don't worry, Prince Xuan's palace can still afford to pamper you." Prince Xuan whispered.
Xue Qingyin scratched her hair: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to support the soldiers in the fiefdom..."
The annual military expenditure is as high as tens of millions, which means that there are a thousand chessboards...
Let’s count the army of Prince Xuan’s Mansion as 100,000 people.
That's a million dollars at least.
King Xuan grabbed her hand.
...It turns out that I was worried about him.
King Xuan's eyes changed and he whispered: "That's enough."
"It's still not enough. I should make more money in two days." Xue Qingyin muttered.
She said: "I have mastered the new tricks His Highness taught me today, and I will meet He Songning again tomorrow."
King Xuan: "..."
King Xuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You must have me here to achieve this miraculous effect."
Xue Qingyin looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"
King Xuan: "Yeah."
"What's the reason for this?" Xue Qingyin was puzzled.
He Songning is not a fool.
Because...it is instinct to compete for love.
King Xuan did not say anything.
He only said: "Because he has a brain disease."
Xue Qingyin:?
