Chapter 8 The Great Song Dynasty is also a cottage

The third point of this disguise is the language of the Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding this, the five uncles didn't care too much.

During the Song and Song dynasties, many immigrants from the north moved to the south, which was mixed with a certain number of Jurchen, Khitan and Bohai people.

As a result, many people at that time had the characteristics of northern dialects in their languages, and in the words of the Song Dynasty, "the pronunciation still has a slight swallow sound, which makes people especially sad".

The research of the five uncles found that by the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen culture in the north also had a strong influence on the Southern Song Dynasty.

The people of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty were able to "play partridges and pluck the huqin in the quiet night, make one person dance in black, and everyone clap their hands and follow it, and the pedestrian road gathers to watch, and they will be on the same road", which has simply become a form of collective entertainment for the masses on the street!

Isn't it just square dancing? Square dancing turned out to be a continuation of Jurchen culture!

Of course, they don't have any audio equipment 100%, so it shouldn't be too noisy.

This is too easy to do, as long as you are not one and the same, and dare to develop culture into diversity, and dare to allow foreign cultures to exist openly, then we, a small number of foreign hostile forces, will dare to enter, and when the time comes, we will be overseas merchants with strange accents------

During this period, overseas merchants could not only travel around, but also buy land and property, and even marry Song girls......

The fourth focus of this disguise is daily behavior, eating and living, and so on.

These are even less important, the five uncles jointly believe that the Great Song Dynasty dared to take an evil path that allowed cultural diversity to exist, and did not kill the people who read, and did not engage in the various uniformities of the Qing Dynasty, then they were absolutely confident that they had the ability to go deep into the masses of the Great Song Dynasty, serve to create a harmonious Great Song Dynasty, and by the way, they would also take the lead in getting rich first.

Of course, it may also lead the masses of the Song people to become rich, which depends on whether they are willing to unite around us.

The five uncles also looked at some of the recipes at that time, saying that they were simple and clear.

Song Sheng eats crabs and likes to chop them into pieces and add orange juice; The Jurchens ate onions, garlic and leeks; The Mongols cut mutton with their hands and knives.

It didn't seem like a big problem, but when everyone was ready to cross for the first time, there were some changes in the plan.

Zhang Guoan's wife came quietly in advance, and the first time she crossed, she had to go together.

Jing Jing said: "I have also checked the information, at that time, women could go out alone, women could also do business alone------ it was an era when women were also free." ”

No matter how much everyone persuaded her and scared her with all kinds of terrible situations, she was not fooled.

"Come on, I know if I'm beautiful or not, I won't be molested on the street, let alone robbed by the Song people to be the queen, even if it's Mrs. Zhuzhai, it's unlikely, I'm too tall------ don't deceive a middle-aged woman in appearance."

Women will do anything to be younger, and I don't want to wait for you to come back. ”

In the end, even Wu Dapeng, who was recognized as the most convincing, was defeated, and the person who could convince a middle-aged woman who had made a decision seemed to be the greatest salesman------ but unfortunately none of them were.

Things have changed, but the script is still to be designed.

Five middle-aged uncles met at the dinner table to design the script.

Wang Defa and Wanshida are overseas merchants, which is a must.

Da Song absolutely welcomes overseas merchants!

The government of the Song Dynasty adopted various measures to "induce and survive" foreign trade, such as establishing regulations for greeting and sending off, rewarding, and disaster relief, and engaging in labor and care for foreign businessmen. For businessmen who have attracted a large number of ships and have made remarkable achievements in increasing tax revenue for the government, the municipal shipping department will report and the central government will approve the award of supplementary officials.

For the envoys of various countries to China, the Song Dynasty also gave higher reception, and gave them clothing, gifts, and official titles.

As for the disaster of merchant ships, the Song government will also take various rescue measures, and make them legal and normalized, which greatly promotes the increase in the number of foreign merchant ships that come to the Song Dynasty to trade.

In addition to sending envoys overseas to solicit customers, the Song government also instructed local officials and merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to try to lure customers.

In the port of Guangzhou and Quanzhou, where foreign businessmen were concentrated, "Fanfang" was set up, and the government of the Song Dynasty selected prestigious foreign businessmen to serve as the governor of Fanfang, and awarded the corresponding official titles.

The chief was responsible for managing the internal affairs of Fanfang and soliciting foreign merchants to trade in China. In addition, the Song Dynasty government also set up Fan City in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places to facilitate foreign trade activities in China.

Wan Shida and Wang Defa are shorter, whiter, and have some gentleness, which may be in line with the appearance orientation of the Song people------ but in fact, one of these two goods is to learn turbines and the other to study chemical engineering, both of which are authentic science and engineering.

Zhang Guoan is still a broker, he is taller, and he should be almost in his profession.

But he also brought his wife to call Quiet------ but at that time, was there a broker who took his wife to do business?

Wu Dapeng said: "Just bring it, what?!" ”

Wan Shida said: "It's not good, just say that I will send her back to her parents' house by the way------"

That's good.

Song Ziqiang and Wu Dapeng are still coolie laborers and don't talk much.

Wu Dapeng said: "What kind of mouth? Do you think Wang Defa and Wan Shida talk less, so they are honest? They are even better at deceiving people. ”

So what are you going to do in that town? If someone asks, just say buy some mountain treasures. With industrial silver, wrong, with silver taels, and copper coins.

When it comes to the copper coins to be brought over, everyone is angry.

Song Ziqiang brought back 20 kilograms of round copper plates, which were really small copper plates------ and there was not a single pattern on them! The slippery copper plate ------ a square eye rushed out of the middle!

Song Ziqiang said: "I wonder if I just use copper as the monetary unit, what's the use of spending that extra salary?" The Song people still care what it looks like? Do the Song people like it because of the way it looks? Besides, they're all cast. ”

This is true, everyone was persuaded by him for the first time, but everyone also decided to let him do things in the future, and he must fully explain it.

Quiet is also worried that the money is too little and not enough.

Zhang Guoan said: "Enough, about more than 700 pieces, one weighs four grams, which is equivalent to thousands now, ah, hey, it was before, and now it is almost tens of thousands." ”

What else can be purchased? Colored stones, all kinds of colored stones.

Why is it difficult to leave large stone buildings in ancient China? They still lack effective cutting tools.

Reflected in the gemstones, that is, I only like softer ones that can be cut smoothly, and jade is more suitable.

Therefore, jade has always accompanied Chinese culture.

During this period, they lacked the means to deal with some hard stones, and they could not become popular, and of course they were worthless.

This, five uncles want, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, jade------ anyway, as long as you Song people can't deal with it, it's just that the color is better, there may be colors that are not good-looking, and the shape is still ugly, and the uncles want it.

Those so-called "colored stones", are they better to give one copper plate, or two copper plates?

Song Ziqiang said five, don't pit the Song people too ruthlessly.

Of course, we will also accept suitable jade pieces, but we must also prevent Song people from making fakes.

The Song people were at the peak of the counterfeiting of cultural relics, and it was also an open act.

It is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, liked to counterfeit and imitated a large number of bronze weapons of the Shang Dynasty, which were placed in the court and never tired of it.

The increase in the number of ancient jade unearthed in the Song Dynasty has fostered the trend of imitating ancient jade. At that time, a large number of ancient jade artifacts of the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were unearthed, including Liangzhu cultural jade, etc., and the imperial court and scholars were keen to collect, sort out and study. This shows that they are very idle,

In order to meet the needs of the broad masses of Song people in the society, antique jade began to emerge in large quantities in the Song Dynasty.

Although the origin of this antique jade can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and there were also imitations in the Tang Dynasty, it was basically imitated in the shape of the same generation. Therefore, the jade that imitates the shape of ancient times in batches is the first to see the Song Dynasty, and therefore, the real antique jade should have only started in the Song Dynasty.

When Zhang Guoan finished finishing the information he had collected, he drank a bottle of jasmine tea.

Wang Defa smiled faintly and said: "It's better, it's better to be controversial------"

Wan Shida nodded and said: "That's right, I still want the Song people's Gao imitation ------ to bring it back, let the world cultural relics first say that it is Shang, then say that it is Tang, and finally determine that it is Song people's Gao Fang, and there is a story here------"

Wang Defa said: "That's right, it's fun. ”

Song Ziqiang heard it very clearly, so he said: "Then it's better for us to dig out the oracle bone inscription and exchange it with the Song people----- don't they like the ancients!" ”

Wang Defa said: "That's over, you are fooled, the oracle bone inscription is fake------ but your thoughts remind me, the Song people can be faked, why can't we fake------ we can completely -------"

Song Ziqiang was anxious and said, "Wait a minute------ what oracle bone inscription is fake?" You scared me, I believed this when I was a child------"

Wang Defa glanced at Song Ziqiang sadly and said, "Can a bone or a piece of tortoise shell decompose naturally if it is buried in the ground for a few years?" ”

"They isolate well, and they've all become fossils------"

"Tens of thousands of dollars?"

"It's all like this, it's a coincidence!"

"Okay, let's take such a small probability event seriously------ are you sure that place in Anyang, Henan Province is rich in turtles?"

"That was when the primitive society happened------ the climate was different from now, and there were turtles in the river-------"

"Well, it is said that the words in the oracle bone inscription are as good as four thousand, so there may be at least twice as many words that did not appear on it at that time------ how many words do we have in modern Chinese?"

"------ does not rule out that there are fakes, but there must be real ones."

"Okay, you are willful again, you should learn from Zhang Taiyan, he was young in the early years, and categorically denied it------ but later when he got older, he found that this thing was beneficial to everyone, and he learned to shut up."

Wan Shida said leisurely: "Our ancestors have taught us a lot------ we have been so easy to do after we have passed, we don't have to worry." We have physical objects to scare them, we have certificates if we want certificates, we have documents if we want documents, we will have a very close relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, we are Yin people, we moved east back then, and the location is in Yindi Anguo. ”

Wu Dapeng said: "Okay, everything is there, get ready to wear it." ”

Jing said: "No, you are too anxious, and you are a little close." ”

The five uncles collectively asked, "What's missing?" ”

"You may have forgotten about gold...... Bring a few small gold ingots. ”

Wang Defa said: "We have thought about this...... At that time, they did not have gold and silver ingots, so they made them into collars...... It's like a rectangular strip...... Besides, we only found ...... that it seems that gold leaves were only used in the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Gold leaf? Is it the one in "The Legend of Deer and Ding"? ”

Song Ziqiang asked curiously.

"Yes, a gold ingot is often several taels, at that time the payment was weighed, the gold collar is thicker and difficult to cut, and it is not easy to get back if you accidentally cut a small piece.

Those people in the Southern Song Dynasty came up with paper-shaped gold leaves, about 40 grams in a stack, 4 grams each, when paying, it is easy to cut, and it is easy to control the size and weight.

The Southern Song Dynasty had a small production of gold and was very valuable. For example, in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, one tael of gold could be exchanged for about 24,000 copper coins.

Such a stack of 40 grams of gold leaves was one tael of gold in the Song Dynasty weights and measures, which was quite a huge amount of money.

In everyday economic life, gold is not used for small trade, but only for large trade. The imperial court used gold the most, and according to the literature, gold was often used for money exchange, taxation, rewards, offerings, and military salaries.

Hong Mai of the Southern Song Dynasty mentioned in his notebook novel "Yi Jianzhi" that during the Shaoxing period, when outsiders came to Lin'an for activities, the funds they brought were gold leaves. ”

"So how can they guarantee the fineness of the gold?" Even a little bit of the ingredients are a huge loss......"
