Chapter 162 Ma Bengang Yin

Gao Zhisheng smiled: "It seems that the two of you are not pedantic people, or you are very favored by Long Lao, and ordinary disciples don't dare to say this about the teacher." ”

Su You said with a smile: "This is called seeking truth from facts, and Long Lao is too lazy to worry about me." The reason why I want to give you this booklet is because I just saw that Brother Xian's admiration is too much, which is actually not conducive to learning. ”

"It is best not to prejudge a person before touching his discourse. Studying calmly and without praise or disapproval is the right way. ”

"Wait until you finish learning, and then draw your own conclusions, which is also the truth of seeking truth from facts, and it is also the kung fu of Buddhism. Elder Long earnestly warned us. ”

"Giving it to you now is to help you understand more fully what kind of person he is, and then read his writings, and many things will make sense and be easier to understand."

"We should learn from him well, but we don't have to worship him excessively or belittle him, he is a kind old man who is compassionate to the world."

"When Brother Xian finished his studies, he still felt that Long Lao was a great sage, and he admired him even more than now. At that time, I will be happy that the mountain chief has one more confidant in righteousness and a fellow scholar in Dali. ”

Gao Zhisheng was greatly impressed: "Let the body and mind rest without being disturbed, this is 'stop'; from the stop, you can get 'determination'; and then you can see all the laws inside and outside the body and mind, and know the reality of the inside and outside, this is 'view'." Only by being as equal as water without liking or disliking can we reach the state of 'fixed wisdom and equality' and then study 'samadhi'. ”

"It turns out that the way of cultivation of Buddhism and Confucianism really has a door to mutual enlightenment!"

After speaking, he bowed to Su You again: "I have to ask the university today!" The foolish brother will study when he goes back, and if he has any doubts, he hopes that the virtuous brother will give him advice. ”

Su You was also very happy: "Brother Yingda is smart and very comparable, which shows that Dali is also a state of etiquette." It seems that Mr.'s writings can be regarded as a trusted person. ”

"Let the teacher's knowledge spread in Dali, and let the Dali scholars make progress in Lide Xiu, which is also the duty of a student, and the virtuous brother is not polite at all."

The two of them were humble for a long time, and they really felt like they were old at first sight.

When Gao Zhisheng was sent out, Su You realized that this benevolent brother might have some background, and there was actually a horse team to protect him.

Gao Zhisheng got on the horse and bowed his hand, said a word and left, Su You suddenly remembered a question, and patted his head: "Damn!" I forgot to tell him that I couldn't stay in Dali for a few days! ”

Turning around and returning to the inner hall, the shopkeeper is stupid, this is a genius for making friends! The Lord is his friend, the noble son of Dali, and he has become his friend in a blink of an eye!

Now rest assured, it's not here to rob me of my job, because - it's completely unnecessary!

After resting for a while, Ah Homi and Mr. Fan also came back, Ah Homi clapped his hands and smiled: "It can be regarded as a clean delivery, and now there is only salt left on the ship, my brother guess how much we made on this trip?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Looking at the price of Dali, it is at least a few times higher." ”

Ah Homi said: "Next, I will have a few days of fun in Shanxian Mansion, and my sister will be the host!" ”

The next day's breakfast was good, and it was the first time that Su You had eaten dairy products in this era.

The milk line, itself has a little sour taste, I heard that it is milk and papaya sour water to mix out, and then processed into slices after the milk is solidified, and then wrapped in peach kernel honey fried oil.

Coupled with the milk, Su You thought it was delicious, but all Han people except him found it difficult to accept.

After eating, Ah Homi called on the mule cart and prepared to go to the familiar silver shop to turn the silver.

Dali is rich in metal deposits, metallurgical forging technology is not bad, Dali sword is also one of the important trading materials with the Song Dynasty.

Because of this, coupled with the small size of the economy, Dali has no shortage of money and does not engage in paper money.

Copper coins, silver, are commonly used in commerce, Ah Homi took Su oil, saying that it was to exchange some pocket money for his poor brother.

Shi Tong and Li Lianzhu also followed, and the silver and iron workshop in Dali is a project worth visiting.

This silver iron shop is familiar with the Erlin Department, so when I saw Ah Homi and his party coming, I was very enthusiastic.

When you get here, you can see the magnificence of Ah Homi, and when the two boxes are opened, they are full of silver of different sizes.

This is obtained from trading with all over Dali, accumulated for a month, and needs to be melted into silver ingots of uniform specifications.

Sootblowing is used to dissolve silver, so it generally contains lead, and rerefining and purifying will cause loss, and this batch of silver is very valuable and must be watched.

Su You was very interested in this technology, and this was the first time to actually observe the purification and melting of silver, and the opportunity was rare.

Many of the workers have already started work before, and Ah Homi and his party are considered special affairs, and they are stopped.

Workers flattened the silver hammer and crushed it, re-threw it into the crucible, and added lead to accelerate the melting of the silver.

Soon the silver dissolved and white smoke began to rise from the furnace, which was the oxidation of lead.

Silver is heavy and lead is light, and after a while the ash of lead oxide is piled up on the crucible, and after stirring with an iron rod, snowflakes begin to float on the stove, which is a flake powder of lead oxide.

At this time, the impurities are constantly glued out with iron rods, and at the same time, the snowflakes are partially carried away by the hot air, and the solution in the furnace is clean again.

Snowflake silver snowflake silver, countless people know this statement, but they don't know that this statement actually comes from the art of smelting silver.

Then the solution began to be turbid again, and Shi Tong said: "The lead gas has been cleaned, and it has begun to turn over." ”

The hole is the crucible, and the turning is the residual lead in the silver that begins to oxidize.

The silversmiths began to sprinkle ash, which was used to capture the remaining lead in the silver because of its fear of ash.

Then the lead ash is fished out, which is a Chinese herbal medicine.

All that's left is clean silver, which can begin to be cast into silver cake ingots.

Shi Tong himself is an expert in playing this, and he explained the process with Su Youli on a leash, and then went to appreciate the sword with the shopkeeper.

Dali sword is mainly good in the ore, not to mention the sulfur content, but also contains rare earth elements and other metal elements, so the performance is quite good.

With the technology of Meishan a year ago, before the furnace temperature and desulfurization process were not improved, it was not as good as others.

Shi Tong only used a method of air preheating pipes, and then he found out the technology of using pine charcoal to smelt iron ore.

A few silversmiths had some silver beside them, which seemed to have been sent by the previous merchants to be melted, and among them were several large silver plates, in the shape of a large winding board, and there seemed to be writing on them.

Su You was overjoyed in his heart, if this is an antique relic, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to pick up the leak?

When he walked to the silver plate, he found that the handwriting was very rough, and he had knocked it with an iron blade.

Chinese characters, until he carefully recognized the content, Su You's heart couldn't help but chuckle.

"Guangnan West Road Ma Bengang silver, Huang You is ugly. Military magistrate Song Qi. Forty-nine twenty-nine money. Pedestrians Du Jianfu and Liu Zhongxing scales. ”

Just by looking at the text, you know that this should not be something that can be seen in the ordinary market.

Gang, similar to the special financial subjects, such as the Birthday Gang in the Water Margin, is the property designated for Taishi Cai's birthday. The flower stone gang is the special use of the Song Huizong garden.

Ma Bengang, which is used as a special model for the purchase of horses, was four years ago, and the person who entered the warehouse was the military magistrate of Guangnan West Road at that time, and the inspector should be a professional in the local silverware guild.

The Great Song Dynasty had a serious shortage of money, and the silver was mainly used for intergovernmental financial allocation and reserves, and a small part was used for circulation.

In fact, the local government procured foreign military horses, mainly barter, such as silk and porcelain.

The main function of Gangyin is to use it as a margin to press the warehouse. Its existence is to let the local government use this as the main silver, lure merchants from all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty to collect silk porcelain, and exchange military horses with the Yi people on Guangnan West Road.

During the whole process, the vast majority of the silver was actually stored in the treasury, which determined the size of the trade and the size of the economy, and did not participate in the actual act of exchange.

This is also the concept of commodity economy in the embryonic stage of the Song Dynasty, Meishan Sitong banknote store has attracted a lot of talents, and Su You is now very clear about these doorways.

Even if it was for an emergency purpose, the silver had to go through a complicated and rigorous set of procedures to be re-smelted and turned into small ingots.

So under normal circumstances, there should never be the original Da Song library silver on the market in Dali!

There is thunder in the chest, and the face is like a flat lake. Su You asked the owner of the silver shop who was having a heated discussion with Shi Tong on the side: "This board is so special, is this your own inventory?" ”

The boss smiled: "No, this is sent by a wealthy merchant from the Luo Xiong Department for smelting." ”

ps: "The system helps me be a policeman", don't ask me why he didn't take the civil service exam, because he didn't call this name at first, hahaha, he was ordered to change his name, and his grades were okay......
