"In that case, then boss, help me wrap it up!" Zhao Tianming was just putting on a show, seeing that the stall owner was so insistent, he paid the money and took the goods and left.

"Doesn't this seem to be easy?"

After leaving the stall, Gu Jiahua asked with some curiosity, he could see that Zhao Tianming should have found something and bought it, otherwise, a filigree jewelry, even if it is pure gold, does not need to be so mysterious. However, he didn't handle it, so he couldn't see any mystery.

"Look at this gold wire, the degree of fineness, and this perfect welding, it is not something that the craftsmen of the Qing court can do, this is a thing of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the craftsmanship has been lost. ”

Zhao Tianming reopened the package to show him, people who don't know the details, even if they notice such details, they take it for granted and will not delve into it.

"Could this be something unearthed from the Imperial Mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

The matter of the imperial mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty is in the next province, Gu Jiahua also knows that a few years ago, a silver gilt phoenix crown was unearthed, and many experts were found to study its production process, and several masters from Gusu also participated.

However, in the end, it was still not possible to study how the ancients at that time pulled out such a thin gold wire and how to perfect spot welding, so it can only be classified as another unique spot welding process.

"Whether it was unearthed from the imperial mausoleum, or washed in ancient times, it is difficult to say, after all, there are too few of these things in the world, there is no way to prove it, but this is a thing of the Southern Song Dynasty, it will not be wrong. ”

There are a lot of good things here, and many of them, although some of them are of unknown origin, are not the kind of stolen goods, and there is no trouble at hand. In fact, the organizers are not called the black market, but the "night market", and the black market is the name of those people outside.

However, after all, it is not a serious trading place, and some problematic things must exist, and in this respect, it is no different from the black market.

Zhao Tianming and Gu Jiahua visited a few stalls in a row, and found that most of them were local specialties, Gusu jade carvings, even if Zhao Tianming was not interested, they all bought a few pieces of jade at the right price, they didn't use it themselves, it was good to keep it and give it away, these things are not easy to find outside, and the price is still expensive.

However, in one of the stalls, Zhao Tianming also found something special, this stall almost did not have any jade carvings that could be seen everywhere, but was full of all kinds of ancient copper coins.

Zhao Tianming stopped and looked at it for a while, and found that there were a lot of copper coins from the Liaojin period, and he didn't know whether they were true or not.

Historically, the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most humiliating dynasty, cutting land, indemnity, year coins, endlessly, and even half of the country, all fell into the hands of foreign races, the Northern Song Dynasty had Liao, the Southern Song Dynasty had gold, and the entire Great Song Dynasty had not been able to recover the territory for three hundred years.

However, behind this, there was the incomparably rich and prosperous economy of the Great Song Dynasty and the strong Central Plains culture.

For hundreds of years, regardless of Liaojin, in fact, they have been carrying out sinicization, they wear Hanfu, learn Chinese characters, and study the poetry and songs of the Central Plains, among which Xiao Guanyin, the queen of Yelu Hongji of Liaodaozong, is a female middle school talent who integrates music and poetry.

In terms of politics, they adopted the official position system of the Song Dynasty, and even implemented the imperial examination system to absorb talents, and often dug into the corners of the Song Dynasty and bribed various talented officials.

However, this is not easy, in the Song Dynasty, the salary of officials was the highest in history, and there is a saying among the people that it is not that officials are honest, but that ordinary people cannot afford to bribe.

The official positions and positions of the Song Dynasty were separated, and Bao Qingtian, who was known as an honest and honest person who loved the people, had an annual salary of 13 million, which was higher than the tax of a state!

When Bao Zheng "sat upside down in the Kaifeng Mansion of Nanya", he wore three hats on his head, namely the straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, the right Shilang of Shangshu Province, and the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Longtuge Straight Bachelor" is from the three products, there is no daily work, generally when the emperor has academic problems or major political issues that need to be consulted, Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor only stands up and says two sentences, this kind of official is called "attendant officer".

"Shangshu Province Right Shilangzhong" is from the five products, and there is no daily work, neither need to go to Shangshu Province to work, nor do you have to be responsible for any affairs in Shangshu Province, it is just a basis for the imperial court to calculate the salary of officials, so it is called "Jilu Official".

These two are official positions, which official position is higher is considered which salary, and "Quan Zhi Kaifeng Government Affairs" is Bao Zheng's official position, where he works, this position gives the most salary.

In addition to the salary, there are also rewards for daily necessities such as rice, wheat, silk cotton, charcoal, firewood, hay, etc., which are provided according to the year and month, and are counted in the salary, which can be described as extremely thoughtful!

In addition, the imperial court will also allocate land and houses to Bao Qingtian as capital to settle down.

This large amount of wages, in addition to the expenses of the slaves in the family and the think tank like Gongsun Ce, who need to be reimbursed by him, the food wages of Ma Han of the Zhang Long Zhaohu Dynasty do not need to be paid by him, and all of them are paid by the state.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty's dozens of taels a year, it also includes the expenses of the yamen, which is simply the difference between modern people and African refugees.

It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang is strict with himself and others, and he requires his subordinates according to his standards when he was a beggar, and it is no wonder that the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty are invincible, and they can't frighten the corrupt elements who go forward and succeed when they are stripped and hung in the court!

Zhu Yuanzhang is poor to himself and his subordinates, but he is very good to future generations, I am afraid that he does not want his children and grandchildren to suffer the hardships he has suffered. Not only is there a strange requirement that the name must be "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" as a sideline, but it also requires future generations to sit at home, not to go out to find work, and to provide all living expenses by the state.

As a result, in the era of the decline of the late Ming Dynasty, some of the king's grandsons were not allowed to go out to find jobs without the imperial court funding, and starved to death at home.

In the Song Dynasty, Bao Qingtian was not a single cent, but the salaries of officials were generally frighteningly high, and Wang Anshi, a stranger dressed in tatters, also had a monthly salary of 90,000 yuan and thousands of acres of fertile land at home.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was the era with the highest status of scholars, as long as they did not become traitors, it was no problem to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Only some frustrated elements who have no ambition in their careers can be bought by Liaojin.

Although Liaojin confronted the north and south of the Song Dynasty, but in the transaction, both official and non-governmental, they only recognized the copper coins of the Song Dynasty, and disdained the coins issued by themselves, in modern terms, this is "RMB internationalization", and it is not a conspiracy, not who enforces it, but everyone naturally recognizes the currency issued by the Song Dynasty, which can be described as the desire of the people!

As a result, during the Liaojin period, everyone used the currency of the Song Dynasty to mint and issue their own currency, but not a lot, and even fewer were handed down, so the copper coins of that period were basically valuable.
