It was the first time she had seen silver ingots of this era with her own eyes.

The silver ingot in his hand is much smaller than what he saw in the TV series, and the longest part is only more than an inch in size, and the bottom of the silver ingot is engraved with the words "Chongning Tongbao Silver Ingot ".

Le Lin was surprised that the Song Dynasty in this time and space actually had an official legal silver ingot currency, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, the bad currency effect can be more easily explained.

"Take a closer look at this silver ingot. Lelin held the silver ingot up to the window so that everyone could see it more clearly.

Wang Anshi took the silver ingot again, looked left and right, and didn't feel anything abnormal, so he frowned and said to Le Lin: "I didn't find anything unusual. ”

Lelin turned the silver ingot in a different direction, and one of the corners of the front had been smoothed out, and a small corner of copper had been filled.

"Look here," she said, pointing there, "there's a corner missing." ”

Wang Anshi was puzzled and said: "According to the law in the money prison, the silver is only two-thirds defective, and it is used as usual. ”

Qian Jian is the name of the official office, which was responsible for supervising the minting and circulation of coins during the Tang and Song dynasties.

Le Lin asked him, "Is it true that when this silver ingot was made from the money supervisor, it was missing a horn?"

"Of course not!"

Wang Anshi felt that this was a funny question, and for a while, he was even more sure that "Lelang" was just a gentleman who was out of touch with people's livelihood, so he blurted out and said: "When this silver ingot is first cast, it must be intact, and it will naturally have considerable loss after it has been circulated among the people for a long time." ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly thought of a detail that he had never discovered before, and his face suddenly became awe-inspiring.

At this time, Le Lin asked him again: "Then have you ever seen a silver ingot in perfect condition on the market?" ”

Wang Anshi was thinking about this thing.

He searched through the memories in his mind again, and was surprised to find that he had never seen a silver ingot intact.

One, even one, no.

Le Lin asked Chai Chen and Le Lang, who were silent on the side, again: "Do you have any silver on you?"

The two of them are both masters who don't need to bring money when they go out, Chai Chen shook his head, a little timid.

Lelin commanded resolutely, "Don't you have guards nearby, and tell them to bring all the money they have." ”

Outside Wang Anshi's house, she didn't actually see any guards, but when she was with Chai Jue on weekdays, Le Lin found that not far away, there were always two or three guards dressed as civilians secretly following.

She guessed that Chai Chen might also have such a secret guard by his side, especially since he had experienced the last time he was assassinated in the bamboo forest.

Chai Chen left in response, and in about half a cup of tea, he came back with a dozen or so small silver ingots.

Lelin motioned for him to put it on the bookcase.

When Chai Chen was finished, Le Lang stood beside him and whispered unhappily: "Why are you so hands-on and thoughtful?"

Chai Chen was stunned, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Is "she" angry?

Since he met "Lelin", he has rarely heard "her" talk about this "younger brother".

Even sometimes, he listened to Chai Jue's interesting story about "her brother", and said that he listened to "her", and "she" also looked impatient, and immediately changed the topic.

The two sisters don't seem to have a good relationship?

But she's just a gesture, what is "she" angry about?

Chai Chen didn't answer "her", but sighed silently in his heart - no wonder Lao Lianghan always said: A woman's heart is a needle under the sea. This is true.

What annoyed him more was himself.

knew that "she" had no intention or unintentionally for him, but because of "her", he was immediately upset.

……

Le Lin and Wang Anshi in the carriage didn't know the subtle emotions of these two people, they only carefully rummaged through the silver ingots that Chai Chen got back.

The more Wang Anshi looked, the more surprised he became.

Finally, the last silver ingot was carefully examined.

Sure enough, there wasn't a single one.

"Qiya, Qiya. ”

He unconsciously stroked the long beard under his chin, and looked sideways and wondered, "Where did the intact silver go?"

"The first person to get the silver would use all sorts of methods, such as scraping off some silver dust or mixing a little copper. If so, he will receive an additional quantity of silver. ”

Wang Anshi suddenly realized: "And because of the regulations of the money prison, as long as this silver ingot is not more than two-thirds missing, it is still worth one or two silver ......."

He pinched one of the silver ingots, and as he looked at it, he exclaimed, "In this way, everyone will follow suit, and there will be no more silver ingots in the world!"

Le Lin nodded, admiring Wang Anshi's quick thinking, and she added: "After a long time, people have found that silver ingots of sufficient value or insufficient value can be used in the same way, so they will store the silver ingots that are good and of sufficient value, and spend the silver ingots that are not worth enough quickly. ”

"A silver ingot of good fineness is a good coin, but a bad ingot is a bad coin. But so?"

"Hmm. ”

Wang Anshi let out a long sigh: "How innocent is the good money? It was expelled by the bad money. ”

After pondering for a long time, he said to Le Lin: "Wang has been taught about this 'bad money driving out good money'. ”

After that, Wang Anshi made a solemn gesture to Le Lin.

Le Lin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mr. Wang, don't be so polite. ”

How could she be so virtuous to receive such a great gift from Wang Anshi?

However, Wang Anshi changed his words and said: "However, this matter, that matter." I don't think that the government's 'suppression' will be like 'bad money driving out good money'. ”

Le Lin was speechless for a moment, she really understood the stubbornness of 'being a bad man' this time.

Co-authored all the things she just said, all in vain.

"You," she said, shaking her head, "why are you so stubborn!"

Just as she took a deep breath and was about to muster up her strength to argue with Wang Anshi, she suddenly heard Wu's voice outside the door: "Master, the meals are ready." ”

Le Lin's stomach seemed to be obedient, and suddenly the drum sounded.

She opened the door a little embarrassed and asked Wu, "Is it lunch?"

Wu was also stunned when he saw two general-looking "An Guohou" in the room, and replied to Le Lin after a while: "It's dinner." ”

"Dinner?"

Le Lin was surprised, no wonder she was so hungry that she played the drums, she hadn't even eaten lunch.

"Would you like to add me?" she asked Wu with a smile.

Wu looked at Wang Anshi and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Concubine go and prepare first." ”

Compared with the polite but unsmiling "An Guohou", she prefers the kind and hearty "An Guohou" in front of her.

……

This meal can be regarded as spent in their own hearts.

Chai Chen was still thinking back to what Le Lin said about "bad money drives out good money", and he couldn't help but think a lot about the "green seedling method" mentioned by Wang Anshi.

Le Lang's face was as usual, but Chai Chen had been with "her" for all these days, and knew that "her"'s calm expression was just calm before the mountain rain was coming.

Wu was curious about the two people with the same faces, but because of the woman's morals and politeness, she couldn't look at the two of them directly.

If you want to say that you are wholeheartedly dining, there are probably only two people, Le Lin and Wang Anshi.

Maybe she was too hungry, and Le Lin felt that this coarse tea and light rice also had a different taste.

Suddenly, she found that Wang Anshi, who was sitting opposite, only picked up the dried steamed vegetables placed in front of him every time.

Le Lin remembered an allusion about Wang Anshi.
