"You two bastards are going to give me enough to stop!!"

Minchan is really crazy. Sun Shangxiang proposed to compete with Lu Lingqi, and Diao Chan originally wanted to stop it, but with her understanding of Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi, she knew that if she forcibly stopped it by speaking, I am afraid it would only bring the opposite effect. It's okay to say that it's up to her to keep an eye on the possible situation now, but if these two girls secretly hide behind her back, so that things are not under Minchan's control, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.

It's just that even so, the situation after these two girls started to do so really gave Minchan a headache. The first few dozen rounds are good to say, and they are at least decent and polite to each other. But slowly, these two girls didn't know whether they were addicted or really hot, and they fought for a whole day without winning or losing, and the wooden sword alone broke a dozen or twenty.

It wasn't until dusk that Diao Chan reluctantly persuaded the two girls to stop on the grounds that everyone wanted to eat, and then a large group of children occupied the wine shop. I thought that things could finally be stopped, but these two girls who didn't admit defeat actually compared who could eat more...... Nima! Is this something that girls will compare?

With Minchan's frantic drinking, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi certainly quieted down, but the other guests in this small wine shop were not a few who were scared away, after all, it was said to be occupied, but it only occupied a larger piece of territory in the wine shop, and there were still some other guests.

Originally, it was said that the three beauties of Minchan, Lu Lingqi, and Sun Shangxiang came to cheer up, and the business in the store should be better. But one is that Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang's eating appearance is too terrifying, and the other is that Minchan and Lu Lingqi are the main and deputy commanders of the Yizhou Women's Legion, and no one dares to mess with them.

Especially Lu Lingqi. She has always stayed in Yizhou, unlike Minchan, who has been by Lu Ren's side for a long time. In addition, there is a Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu also followed Lu Ren to Jingzhou last year because of some things, and now he temporarily stayed in Wu County because Lu Ren had other things to do with Zhao Yu, so the only person who has really been leading the women's corps is Lu Lingqi, and therefore the patrol tasks in Yizhou are basically on Lu Lingqi, so basically everyone here in the market knows Lu Lingqi.

The people in the shop saw the chief and deputy commanders of the women's corps arrive. Try not to know who Sun Shangxiang is, but I also know that Sun Shangxiang is definitely the number one. Even if these women here are more beautiful than the other, and Lori and the royal sister are all there, what about it? Whoever provokes someone is not much different from looking for death. And because of Minchan's angry shout just now. At this time, the small wine shop was really occupied by Mink Chan and them, and people only dared to watch from a distance outside the store, but they didn't dare to take a half step forward.

Hearing Minchan's drinking, Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang also listened to Minchan's words and didn't call for food again. On identity. Minchan is Lu Lingqi's aunt. Sun Shangxiang regards Minchan as a mentor; On Competence...... Whether it is Lu Lingqi or Sun Shangxiang, they all know that Minchan usually has reservations about their tricks, if they really force Minchan to get angry and then move the real thing, these two girls will definitely not be pleased, so they have a sense of awe for Minchan.

Seeing that these two girls were honest, Minchan breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging hearts of the people in the wine store were finally relaxed. And Mink Chan looked around at this time. I know that these two girls are a bit outrageous and have disturbed the business of the wine store. At that moment, he was embarrassed to take out a silver coin from the Yizhou region and handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "I'm sorry, these two girls are not very sensible and have disrupted your business, these silver coins should be enough to compensate for your losses, right?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly. How could he not know the identities of Minchan and Lu Lingqi? I don't say anything like I can't afford to offend, I just say that the two leading figures in Yizhou, like Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi, come to them to eat, it is a cheer, and there is a high advertising effect, and other stores can't please it, so he is willing to ask the shopkeeper to be free, not to mention that the money given by Mink Chan is only a lot more?

But here, let's talk about the currency of the Yizhou area.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so the common currency is also the copper coin that we generally call "the sky is round", but at that time it was not called "XX Tongbao", but called "five baht". The "baht" here refers to the unit of weight, that is, one Han Jin = 16 Han taels at that time, and one Han Liang = 16 Han Baht. One baht is about 0.57 grams in modern times, and the weight of a five-baht copper coin is about 2.85 grams of five baht.

As we all know, copper in ancient China, as well as the Ming and Qing dynasties, was a metal with value preservation, and in the Han Dynasty, the weight of copper coins was equivalent to ensuring the value of the currency, and at the same time, it could also ensure the normal circulation of goods to a certain extent. During Dong Zhuo's turbulent regime, Dong Zhuo did the "bad five-baht coin" thing, minting coins with a large number of times copper, and the weight of the coins was insufficient, which directly led to the collapse of the financial system in the Central Plains. Like Lu Ren's initial stay in Xuzhou, it was simply unrealistic to use money to buy something in Qing, Yan, and Sili.

However, in Xuzhou at that time, which was far away from Chang'an and Luoyang, because it was not much damaged by Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, the local regular five-baht money could still circulate normally. Later, Lu Ren and Shirley arrived in Yizhou, considering that Yizhou also needs currency to circulate here, and to promote the normal development of Yizhou's commerce, so they introduced a large number of regular five-baht coins from Xuzhou and Jingxiang. This practice is somewhat similar to Japan's Momoyama and Azuchi Warring States periods, when Japan exported a large amount of raw copper to the Ming Dynasty, and then imported the finished copper coins forged by the Ming Dynasty, so in that era, the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty could be directly spent in Japan.

Next, with the rapid development of Yizhou, the most basic copper coins will inevitably not be able to cope with large payments. However, Lu Ren and Shirley had already considered this matter, and had accumulated a lot of gold and silver in advance. Later, the Zhen clan arrived in Yizhou, and after a period of run-in with the Lu Ren group, Lu Ren and Shirley handed over the task of forging gold and silver coins to the Zhen clan, and handed it over to the absolutely trustworthy Zhen Jiang to manage. Later, it was discussed several times. The basic exchange rate of one five-baht gold coin = ten five-baht silver coins = one thousand five-baht copper coins was determined.

In addition, in terms of the payment of personnel salaries, Lu Ren and Shirley did not inherit the form of half grain and half money in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but paid the full amount in coins. First of all, Lu Ren is not a genuine court official now...... Of course, this is not a problem. At that time, it was common to pay for grain and rice after hiring someone to work. The main reason is that Yizhou produces abundant grain, so the price of grain is flat and stable, and the living environment here in Yizhou is relatively stable, etc., anyway, with these many factors, it will naturally stimulate the circulation of Yizhou's currency, and it is much more real to send money than to send grain.

Let's take Zhen Mi, who is now the secretary general by Shirley's side, for example, although it is because Lu Ren himself does not have a formal edict. Zhen Mi also has no formal official position...... It may sound like nonsense, but in that era, some women with certain identities also had their own salaries under certain circumstances. That's just the way to explain it here.

In short, Secretary General Zhen's salary is paid according to the state governance of the Han system, that is, the rank of the annual salary is 600 stones, which is 50 stones per month. And then according to the current price of 100 copper coins for one stone of hulled rice in Yizhou. Zhen Mi's current monthly salary is 5,000 copper coins. And the current point of Yizhou. One copper coin can buy two steamed buns, which is roughly the same as one dollar in modern society, that is to say, Zhen Mi's monthly salary is about 5,000 yuan, which is about the same as some middle-level white-collar workers in modern society.

Of course, this is just Zhen Mi's normal basic salary, Zhen Mi's work is so good, and the corresponding Lu Ren and Shirley have to give Zhen Mi some bonuses or something. But then again. The current Zhen Mi has recovered some vitality in the Zhen clan, and it can be called a big business in Yizhou. The standard eldest lady of everyone, if you really talk about it, where do you care about this monthly salary? will still choose to stay by Shirley's side as an assistant, naturally with other intentions.

It's a bit too far, stop here, anyway, after all that, you should understand what it means for Minchan to give the store a silver coin, right? To put it bluntly, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi just gnawed off a few charcoal barbecue fish, and at a modern price, it would only cost two or three hundred yuan to survive, but Diao Chan took out a thousand yuan, where would it not be enough to pay for the bill?

After Diao Chan finished settling the account, she looked back and saw that Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang were still looking at each other with the smell of gunpowder, and she couldn't cry and laugh for a while: "Are you two girls enough?" Did you know that this meal of yours will eat up my salary for several days? ”

Minchan's position is the commander of the women's barracks, which is higher than a civilian position like Zhen Mi, with a monthly salary of five silver coins. Of course, if Minchan really wants to use money, where will Lu Ren and Shirley not give it? It's just that Diao Chan is not the kind of person who will stretch out her hands indiscriminately.

Lu Lingqi blushed and said, "Aunt Xiu, how can I let you pay?" I'll do it anyway! ”

As she spoke, Lu Lingqi grabbed the casual satchel she was carrying...... The satchel was made by Lu Ren. Don't forget what kind of character Lu Ren is, as long as it is within the scope of his ability, Lu Ren will do something. Moreover, there are more women and fewer men in Yizhou, and of course the thoughts of consumer goods have to be moved to the heads of women, and a certain ethnic group does not say that women's money is the best to earn?

But some things like this are really in line with the hearts of those women. In addition, with the leading role of some leading figures such as Shirley and Lu Lingqi, under the guidance of the "unhealthy trend" of "upward and downward effect", all kinds of exquisite shoulder bags have become the most sought-after goods for women in Yizhou.

In Guangxi, west of Quanzhou, there is a habitat for Chinese alligators, and there are also ethnic minority hunters who specialize in hunting crocodile skins, so every year the small city of Yizhou can get a batch of high-quality crocodile skins from Quanzhou...... Anyway, there was no need to pay attention to animal protection back then.

However, most of these crocodile skins will be made into special leather armor for Yizhou dignitaries or elite troops, and only a few parts will be purchased by Lu Ren and made into what he wants. The satchel that Lu Lingqi carried with her was the one that Lu Ren rewarded Lu Lingqi, and Diao Chan just had a small purse hanging on her wrist. After all, Lu Ren, a guy who came through time, knows that rewarding these things to women is far more practical and effective than rewarding coins in many cases...... (To be continued.) )
