Took the dog's head gold, Chi Qiu and Chen Hai returned to Zhangtai, the dog's head gold weighed that there were eight catties and one tael, purity is a big problem, fortunately there was a nursing home who had worked in the gold mine, came up and took a bite, and gave the proportion, sixty percent gold.

Chi Qiu said: "In this case, this matter still needs Dong's mother to work hard, whether it is transported or melted, it is also mental effort, how about we settle it according to fifty percent?" ”

Dong Eniang was a little embarrassed, she had already asked the nursing home to keep a snack and say that the quality was lower, and now Chi Qiu gave up another percent, this transaction is still profitable after all, the corners of her eyes exuded a trace of shame, and she nodded and agreed: "I don't know what the prince wants to exchange?" ”

Didn't you say that you could exchange fifty percent? You think I can't see your eyebrows? I have at least seventy percent of the dog's head gold, don't be too greedy, Chi Qiu was a little unhappy: "Didn't Fang just say fifty percent?" That is forty taels of gold, four hundred taels of silver, and thousands of silver coins. ”

Dong Eniang couldn't help laughing at him when she saw that Chi Qiu was calculating carefully.

Even Chen Hai laughed beside him: "Brother, you are really generous, let one percent, do you want to let two percent?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Eniang was provoked to have a white eye, but this white eye was more funny.

Chi Qiu was confused, Chen Hai explained: "If it is a common practice to exchange ordinary gold ingots at one to ten, but you are considered a thousand pure gold, if it is still so, let others know, wouldn't it be said that our dew Zhangtai is too dark?" "It turns out that this China has been short of gold and silver since ancient times, a pound of gold during the Han Dynasty was exchanged for three catties of silver, and in the Tang Dynasty, it became a pound of gold for eight catties of silver, the main reason for this is that a large number of gold vessels were buried in the Han Dynasty, and Buddhism rose during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and a large amount of gold was plated with Buddha.

The gold-silver ratio of the Wuyue Continent is generally one to ten, but the problem of purification ability, even if the gold coins minted are the best mint, they can be refined to ninety percent at most, and there are one percent of the impurities themselves, so although Chi Qiu's dog's head gold is only sixty percent gold, his algorithm is according to the ninety percent gold coins that are common in Wuyue according to his mind, and he obviously pits himself.

Chen Hai is a kind person, and after discussing with Dong Eniang, he still settled with him with forty-five taels of gold, so that Chi Qiu fully saw the complexity and inconvenience of ancient currency exchange. Of course, they also have a better impression of Chen Hai.

At the beginning of the number discussion, Dong Eniang set up a banquet to entertain Chi Qiu, and during the banquet, he knew that Dong Eniang's words were to ask him how to exchange them, after all, all of them were exchanged for gold coins, this kind of currency was not circulated in the river, and only the upper nobles would use it to accumulate wealth, but if they were all exchanged for silver coins, hehe, I was afraid that Chi Qiu was infinitely powerful, and he would cry with silver coins.

Chi Qiu suddenly realized, and repeatedly said that he asked Dong Eniang to look at the arrangement, and it would be okay to have more silver tickets.

Dong Eniang called a little maid to explain.

When the wine was hot, the little maid came to Dong Eniang and said in a low voice: "The account room said that there is only so much cash in Zhangtai now. ”

Chi Qiu heard it and asked clearly, "How many?" ”

The little maid straightened up and said, "Twenty-four gold coins from Xihe" The little maid looked at Chi Qiu and explained: "One gold coin can be exchanged for one tael of silver." ”

Seeing that Chi Qiu had no objections, he continued to sing: "One silver ticket for fifty taels, one silver ticket for eighty taels, twelve silver tickets for five taels, three silver tickets for three taels, fifty silver tickets for two taels, twenty-seven silver tickets for one tael, and a total of three hundred and fifty taels plus gold coins." ”

"That's it?" Dong Eniang asked.

The little maid nodded and continued, "There are also six hundred silver coins. There are still some copper coins, but E-Niang explained that they don't use copper coins. ”

Chi Qiu just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but the little maid seemed to understand what he meant: "There is still a total of forty taels, that is, four hundred silver coins." ”

"If that doesn't work, use copper coins." Dong Eniang looked a little cramped, it stands to reason that they are here, and exchanging four hundred taels is just a piece of cake.

Chen Hai patted Chi Qiu on the shoulder: "Brother, it's okay, I'll help you pick it up." ”

Chi Qiu nodded, seeing a trace of embarrassment and helplessness on the faces of the two, it seemed that there was a big problem with their operation, and he bypassed the topic: "There is something I want to ask the two of you, I don't know if to talk about it or not?" In fact, Chi Qiu has a lot of opinions on this line in his heart, but whenever he watches a costume TV series and hears this word, he will scold him for no reason.

"Brother Chi, you say."

"I wonder what the two of you know about the Taiyuan royal family?"

"Taiyuan Wang's family?" Dong Eniang's eyes were full of curiosity, and her eyes were full of suspicion, and she was also quite yearning.

"Well, it's the former king of Taiyuan, I heard that their descendants are not living well, and it seems that they are still in the Hejian area, I just want to ask what they have experienced over the years?"

Dong Eniang looked at Chen Hai and said casually: "Wang family, hey, let's say it, you know more about things outside than me." ”

Chen Hai also sighed, and said slowly, during this period, Dong Eniang didn't like these royal family hegemony, so she found an excuse to go to the back kitchen to add some wine and food.

It turned out that since Wang Chongwang ascended the ladder, not only the military achievements were very good, but also the division of one side, at that time the world was in turmoil, and the Taiyuan royal family had also applied for many times to quell the chaos. Their heirs set the field, stationed in the northern frontier, inside and outside, operating the northeast, as long as the conditions permitted, they would pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, in the most painful Kunpeng Ming era in the Wuyue Continent, the Taiyuan King became the northernmost foundation of China.

In later generations, the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family, strictly followed the family motto of the ancestors, were loyal to China, painstakingly managed and governed the Yan Dynasty region, and repeatedly blocked the Khitan, Turkic, Xue Tuo and other departments from the north to the south at that time, and also gathered and integrated many northern herdsmen and settled in Yandi.

However, in the Su Musha era, the Taiyuan Wang clan fought fiercely with the surrounding tribes for many years, and its strength declined, and the war made Yandi and the northeast occupied by military generals, and the Wang clan's sphere of influence was limited to Shanxi.

Even so, the king of Taiyuan still had some control over the two places, but after the battle of Jingxi, the Song Dynasty and the Takiki Dynasty got along well, and began to use troops against the Yan Dynasty, and tried to recover Yanyun many times, and the two sides were at odds with each other. At that time, decades after Jia Dongpo's death, the Song Dynasty was still relatively strong, and the Yandi warlords went south independently, and the king of Taiyuan did not stop it for various reasons.

At that time, Emperor Kang of Song saw that the king of Taiyuan did not send troops, but the road was a partial division attack, and the whim of the royal drive was personally conquest, and the result was that the two armies faced each other, you know, at that time, the top and bottom of China had their own inherent cognition of the Turks in the north or the Hu people in the northeast or even the Uighurs in the Western Regions, and they lacked enough knowledge of the sudden appearance of a blond and blue-eyed, hairy and blood-drinking Velvet tribe.

This "black swan event" caused chaos in the world, and no one thought that such a thing would happen. Since then, many people have hated the inaction of the Taiyuan Wang family, how miserable the "Jingkang Change" is, and how low the reputation of the Wang family is.

When the Taiyuan Wang clan was destroyed, the Wang family went south and was rejected by the Central Plains family, and the Wang family operated miserably, until the excavation of the Dazai period, and the re-compilation of the history books, Dazai decided that the events of the year and the Wang family did not have much to do with it, and the Taiyuan Wang family returned to the family tree, and the Yan Shenggong Kong clan and the double duke, but the people still have a great prejudice against it, and the three princes of the river did not include it, and as an alien family, there is not much foundation in the river, several princes who are willing to accept the Taiyuan Wang family have been exterminated for various reasons, The reputation of the Taiyuan Wang clan is also getting worse and worse, and the princes all think that they have a "curse" on their bodies and are unwilling to associate with it. The Wang clan and the clan also try to draw a clear line, and do not come and go, the main branch because of the inability to make peace with the princes, and no relatives to help, increasingly bleak, the Wang family girl may still be able to marry the Hanmen, the man's situation is even worse, the general merchant family is unwilling to marry a woman, so as not to be rejected by peers, in this way, can only marry the common people, the men of the Wang family are humiliated, many people are unwilling to settle, and the blood is becoming thinner.

Speaking of this, Chen Hai said leisurely: "I heard that the last male of the Wang clan died unexpectedly, and the main branch of the Taiyuan Wang clan has been cut off. In the words, the encounter with this thousand-year-old famous family is full of helplessness.

"Cut off?" Chi Qiu looked incredulous, and blurted out: "How long ago did that man die?" Two words popped up in Chi Qiu's mind: "Destroy the door".

Chen Hai frowned and drank a glass of water and wine: "Six or seven years ago, or five or six years ago, I forgot, there are some days." ”

"Ahh Chi Qiu's face wrinkled into folds: "No......"

"Isn't that right? What's wrong? Chen Hai asked.
