Even though there is a lot of unhappiness in my heart, life still has to go on, people have to struggle to live, not to mention crossing over to become a small person, they have to struggle.

After struggling for a few days, Mei Xiaohan's mood returned to the same as before, neither happy nor sad.

No one can know their future, and no one can predict the direction of history.

For a time-traveler, the greatest advantage is the prophet of historical events.

In the Northern Song Dynasty and the Renzong Dynasty, the overall situation was stable, at least not in troubled times, which was what Mei Xiaohan was most fortunate about.

Some of the most famous historical events of the Renzong Dynasty are: "Qingli New Deal", "Chongxi Coin", "Wang Anshi Reform" and "Song-Xia War".

However, these historical events are still far from the second year of Tiansheng, and the protagonists of some historical events have not yet entered the circle of the ruling class, and Emperor Renzong is not yet thirteen years old, and the Empress Liu of Zhang Xian Mingsu listens to the government.

Wang Anshi was still a doll less than three years old at this time.

The Song Xia War and the Peace Nong Zhigao Rebellion, Di Qing, who had made great contributions, was still from a humble and poor background at this moment.

Fan Zhongyan is still just a salt warehouse supervisor who has not yet entered the stream.

The end of history is irreversible...

Returning to Raozhou more than a thousand years ago, Mei Xiaohan did not feel that the locals were any different from the people of Raocheng a thousand years later.

In addition to the big difference in clothing, food, housing and transportation, the relationship between people is also more cordial.

What Mei Xiaohan didn't expect the most was that the Raozhou accent hadn't changed much over the past thousand years.

Despite the vicissitudes of life, the ancient sounds of the millennium have remained unchanged.

The local accent has not changed, which gives people a sense of spiritual identity.

Life has to go on, and the gourd has fallen from the sky, and there will be no more food.

"The people live on food!"

In the Song Dynasty, ordinary people ate 1.5 liters of grain a day, and the non-staple food they ate was almost four-tenths.

The Song people only ate two meals a day, two meals in the morning and evening, and the rich people usually ate a little bit of heart at noon.

The price of a liter of grain is usually around 20 wen, and a person spends about 7,000 wen on food in a year.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, commerce was relatively developed, and teahouses, bookstores, and small theaters all had a certain scale.

The price of a bowl of tea in a teahouse is usually around a penny.

One tael of silver is about equal to one thousand wen, and most of the time one tael of silver in Raozhou cannot be used as a thousand wen, and can only be converted to about 800 to 850 wen.

According to the least exchange rate, one tael of silver can be converted into 800 wen, and Mei Xiaohan's 500 taels of silver can be converted into 400,000 wen.

Most of the time the small business transactions are used copper plates, Mei Xiaohan realized this, and used three hundred taels of silver to pawn 200,000 yuan in the pawnshop, such a pawn method made the pawnshop's Xiao Er Lian surprised, using silver to pawn copper plates, for their store is the first time.

Because of these copper plates, dogs and mirrors for this count for a day.

"Obedient..."

The mirror smashed his mouth and said, "These two copper plates are enough to buy a baked cake to eat!" How many of these piles of copper plates have been replaced with baked cakes! ”

The dog knocked on the mirror's head, and the frightened mirror didn't dare to be lazy.

A shop on the street was rented by Mei Xiaohan.

Mei Xiaohan is preparing to open a money bank, through understanding, Raozhou City will have a period of copper plate shortage every year, at this time one or two silver can be exchanged for copper plates will be greatly reduced, sometimes even 1 to 700 exchange rate. Earning these price differences from this is a lot of oil and water.

The opening of Xiaoqian Zhuang allowed Mei Xiaohan to have her own business, but after a few days, it was difficult to make a single business.

This kind of business can only receive more orders when there is a shortage of copper plates.

Most of the farmers in Raozhou City are small-scale farmers, and there are not many farmers with silver in their hands.

It's not a very good idea, and you can't make a lot of money in a change business alone.

It's time to harvest the potatoes that have been planted, and these golden lumps are waiting for them in order to have a good harvest, and now it's time to witness success or failure.

On the day of the harvest, Mei Xiaohan got up early and gave each of the dogs and mirrors a red envelope.

The mirror stared at each household with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that the two hundred yuan was not a small amount.

Seeing Mei Xiaohan get up early in the morning today, the dog realized that something was unusual and said, "Master, there must be something for us to do today, right?" ”

"Hahaha... I'm still smart and smart, I like you like this,"

Mei Xiaohan said as she walked with her hands behind her back: "Prepare and prepare, come with me." ”

The dog glanced at the mirror that was counting the copper plates with disdain, and said disdainfully: "Ignorant minions! Why don't you bring my shoes quickly, the master is still waiting for me! ”

The mirror fart took the dog's shoes and stood aside with a simple smirk.

After seven turns and eight turns, Mei Xiaohan led the dog and the mirror to a piece of land on a ridge.

Mei Xiaohan said to herself: "I don't know if I can succeed." ”

After that, he let the dog and the mirror dig, and it didn't take long for golden gadgets to appear in front of Mei Xiaohan, which made Mei Xiaohan's eyes shine.

"Count how many there are!"

The dog counted it and said, "Master, there are sixty in total!" ”

"Obediently... With these 60 potatoes, I will be able to grow 6,000 catties next year! ”

Mei Xiaohan pointed at the potatoes with her hand: "Throw them all to me!" ”

The dog and the mirror took off their clothes and used them to wrap up these rare things they had never seen before.

These treasures should be well preserved, and they are all counting on them to bring business opportunities in the coming year, and the status of merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty is not low, as long as there is silver, the heart is always steady.

The golden lumps are carefully kept in a constant temperature environment, and these are the treasures of the coming year.

Mei Xiaohan finally ushered in the biggest business since the opening of Qianzhuang.

There are few businesses in the entire county where silver is exchanged for copper plates, and even if there are, most of them are both.

The merchant is a middle-aged man who is a little blessed, and his gestures are also elegant.

"Tea!"

After a greeting, Mei Xiaohan threw out the topic and said, "I don't know what business the guest officer does, and how much copper plate needs to be exchanged." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am a merchant from other places and need to purchase a large number of medicinal materials, and Raozhou is mostly a small merchant and needs a large number of copper plates, so I went to Guiqian Village to exchange for fifty taels of copper plates?" ”

"How about exchanging a tael of silver for 830 copper plates?"

The middle-aged merchant knew in his heart that the exchange of silver for copper plate was a floating rate, and now he urgently needed to use copper plate, so he readily agreed.

Fifty taels of silver were exchanged for 41,500 yuan, and Mei Xiaohan earned 8,500 yuan for this single business alone.

Looking at the sweaty dogs and mirrors of the copper plates, Mei Xiaohan said: "It seems that there is still a market for such a business as exchanging copper plates!" ”

The mirror smashed his mouth and said, "Master, you are really good!" If you don't say that you are the master, I am just a subordinate, and the money you make from a single transaction is enough to buy 4,000 baked cakes! ”

The dog looked at the mirror with a face, squinted his eyes and said: "You cheap slave, it is important to talk less and work more, just you... Just you... That cheap life still wants to eat baked cakes every day? ”

Looking at the dog with a small ghost, Mei Xiao suddenly felt that the dog was so cute.
