Chapter 019: Da Luo Tianque and Yan Bao copied
See?
What people say is that he has to make a fortune before he can shape the golden body of the gods.
If he didn't make a fortune, or if he didn't think it was big enough, he naturally didn't have to repay his vows.
But if the gods have that kind of kung fu, can't they cast spells to shape a golden body by themselves?
In addition to the unreserved ancestor worship, this kind of belief model of handing over money and bargaining with the other hand is indeed a unique feature of China.
Therefore, the gods of China are actually quite miserable, and they are not treated as well as foreign gods.
This is also the main reason why the teachings of foreign gods have been so difficult to really spread in China...... You always let the believers give selflessly, who cares about you?
The Chinese people are accustomed to being self-reliant and having enough food and clothing.
You see a great flood in a foreign country, and the foreign people still have to wait for God to build an ark, floating on the water and waiting for the water to recede, but in China?
Leaked?
I'm sorry, Nuwa burned the stone and stuck it.
A great flood?
I'm sorry, Dayu took the big guy to dig a ditch and dredge it.
The Great Flood: MMP, the old paper is shameless?
These Yang villagers of Kushui Village knew that Bai Yuqi was an immortal before.
But he only contributed 1 point of faith to Bai Yuqi, which is almost equivalent to: "Wow! Immortal! So amazing! And then what?".
Bai Yuqi is an immortal, what does it have to do with them?
You can't eat or drink, just look at the excitement.
And after Bai Yuqi agreed to accept them, it was equivalent to becoming his own person with the immortals.
And it must be good to be your own person with the gods, of course, you have to be pious and contribute more faith, isn't it?
It was also because of the villagers' re-contribution of faith that Bai Yuqi discovered that a person could not only contribute faith to himself once, but also contribute more than 1 point of faith.
That is to say, as long as he can do something that is good for them, they will contribute a wave of faith, and the amount of faith contributed varies according to the size of the benefit received...... Emmmmm~ Fair enough!
"Alright, alright, get up!"
was given more than a thousand points of faith, and Bai Yuqi, who was stunned, came back to his senses.
I found that the villagers were still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, so I had to say with a straight face: "Hurry up and work!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The old village was getting up, and a vigorous commander commanded the villagers to continue making salt.
And the villagers are also tossing as hard as they are working hard, just to behave well in front of the immortal master, and bring themselves when they become immortals in the future.
Bai Yuqi rolled his eyes, originally just wanted to improve the living conditions of the Yang Zhao family, where he would borrow for a period of time in the future.
It's good now, but he has to feed the more than 100 people in Kushui Village...... I feel a little bit of a loss for Mao, and I feel like I've been taken advantage of~
Looking at the busy villagers, remembering what Yang Tieniu said before, salt can be used directly as money in the market, Bai Yuqi suddenly had an idea.
1 salt (130g) = 1 horse silk = 1 bucket of grain = 3200 Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Although salt can be used directly to barter, it is too valuable to use, so it can only be used to buy bulk items...... When eating a bowl of dumplings on the side of the road, it is impossible to take out a lump of salt and knock down a little bit to pay the bill, right?
How much to knock is a question, and whether people are willing to take it is also a question.
So in fact, you still have to exchange the salt for money or silk silk first, and then use it to buy things.
But the problem is that although the early Tang Dynasty did not implement the monopoly of salt and iron.
But before he became stronger, Bai Yuqi didn't plan to expose his existence as an "immortal" too early.
The sudden inflow of a large amount of salt into the market in a state of salt shortage will inevitably attract the attention of the Tang government and various non-governmental forces.
So the plan to take the salt to Lantian County tomorrow to buy and buy, and come back to improve your life in exchange for some good things will not work.
Whether it is replaced by Kaiyuan Tongbao or silk silk, it is too attention-grabbing...... How much salt is in a he? It's just a handful of hands together, so it's called "a he".
But it is such a handful of salt, but it can be exchanged for 3,200 Kaiyuan Tongbao, and this kind of copper coin weighs one tael per 10 Wen, and one catty in the Tang Dynasty is about 660 grams, and one catty is sixteen taels.
That is to say, one tael = 41.25 grams, a Kaiyuan Tongbao of 1 penny weighs about 4.125 grams, and 3200 pieces weigh 6.6 kilograms!
Surely they can't just take a handful of salt out to buy something, right?
Carrying a sack of salt to exchange it for money with others, it is estimated that it can drag back several truckloads of copper coins, and the volume of silk silk is larger!
Moreover, Bai Yuqi felt that it was too unreliable to carry a roll of silk or linen to buy things.
When he saw something, he snapped and tore off a strip of cloth two fingers wide to pay the bill.
Sounds weird, but that's exactly what it did in ancient times!
Modern people don't think that good silk or linen is too wasteful to be torn, otherwise where do you think the strips of cloth for boiling salt cloth come from?
Therefore, in order not to attract the attention of the Tang government and civil forces, it is convenient to use salt directly to pay the bill.
Bai Yuqi pondered whether to make the refined salt into small portions of uniform standards, that is, "salt coins".
may be because of the data-based attributes, the perception of up to 15 points in addition to giving Bai Yuqi a sixth-sense intuitive alert range of five meters.
It also allowed him to easily distinguish the weight, weight, length and other weights and measures of the item, so he squatted there and wondered how to divide the salt into small pieces of standard salt.
System Projection: [Suggested Activation Spell: [Shaping]]
"Huh?"
Bai Yuqi curiously activated the [Shaping Technique].
First, the large salt crystals that were boiled out were divided into small pieces of different sizes by [decomposition], and then [shaping] was used to shape them into "salt coins" in the shape of steel hammers in later generations.
The weights and measures of the Tang Dynasty were actually very fine, such as:
10 liters per bucket, 1.5 kg per liter;
One liter is a lily, each with 150 grams;
1 together for 10 scoops, 15 grams each;
One spoonful is ten copies, each copy is 1.5 grams;
One copy is ten, each 0.15 grams;
One as 10 centi, 0.015 grams per centi;
The smallest "centi" weighs only a grain of rice, and a combination of salt (130g) is worth 3,200 Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Bai Yuqi simply divided the salt into 100 parts of 1.3 grams.
It was formed into a crystal coin with "Da Luo Tianque" written on the front and "Salt Treasure Copy" written on the back.
How much volume does a gram of salt have?
It is about the size of a steel dime coin of later generations.
Therefore, 1.3 grams of salt, after being molded into a copper coin with a square hole in the middle, is similar to the size of the Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin.
And because the salt crystal, crystal clear like crystal, so this "Da Luo Tianque Salt Treasure Copy" salt coin looks extraordinarily exquisite.
But even if the salt is divided into 100 parts, the value of this salt coin made of pure salt is also too high.
