The world of this book is the world of the Water Margin, mainly based on the Water Margin, and the Song Dynasty in the text cannot fully correspond to the era of Song Huizong, I will try my best to build a complete Water Margin world.

In the general environment, Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia coexisted, and the founding of the Jin State was earlier than the real history, so there were Jin people in Zengtou City, and the Jin State destroyed Liao as fast as it was in history. However, in the end, the Jin State will still destroy the Liao State and go south, which is consistent with Hu Yanzhuo and Zhu Tong's resistance to Jin mentioned in the Water Margin.

The details will be slowly outlined.

1. Thieves re-enforce the law

Whoever robbers "shall be put to death regardless of whether they have stolen goods or not"; If the stolen goods reach five times, they will be put to death.

If the crime should be beheaded, the family property will be confiscated to reward the whistleblower, and the wife will be exiled thousands of miles away; If the crime is a dead convict or an outcast, he will be assigned to Lingnan, and half of the family wealth will be confiscated as a reward, and his wife will be exiled to a military state 500 miles away. And whoever commits the crime of theft is amnesty, and the crime is not reduced.

Harbouring and sheltering capital thieves, and beheading if the circumstances are serious.

The door of the thief's house shall be nailed and hung with a wooden plaque stating the circumstances of the crime and the punishment to be imposed. If there is a relocation, it can be approved by the government.

So when Liu Tang chased Lei Heng and asked for the ten taels of silver sent by Chao Gai, Lei Heng scolded Liu Tang for being a liar who insulted the family and lost the household.

When heroes refuse to fall into the grass, they all say that they are innocent and refuse to defile their homes.

When Kong Ming and Kong Liang killed people and fell into the grass, the Qingzhou government directly arrested their uncle and sent him to prison.

After Li Gu first sued Lu Junyi, he took Lu Junyi's family wealth, not because those corrupt officials and relatives of the Lu family were not moved, but because they should be given to Li Gu according to the law.

When Zhang Dujian wanted to kill Wu Song, he only framed Wu Song as a thief.

In the case of thieves, it can be said that theft is more punishable than ordinary homicide.

Therefore, when Lin Chong found out in Tokyo that Li Xiaoer was caught stealing the owner's property, and wanted to send it to a lawsuit for questioning, he advocated accompanying him and spared Li Xiaoer from being sent to the lawsuit. When he was drumming a flea and eating a lawsuit, Yang Xiong, who was sick, also saved him.

Lin Chong and Yang Xiong must also look down on the chickens and dogs, but they just feel that the punishment is too heavy and they can't bear to let them be slaughtered.

2. The book is gold and silver

One tael of gold = ten taels of silver = twenty taels of silver.

Consistent money = 1000 wen

The coins in circulation on the market are mainly small flat coins, two coins, three coins, and broken silver.

When the taxes of various places are handed over to the imperial court, they are exchanged for gold and silver, cast into gold and silver ingots for transshipment, and the imperial court often allocates gold and silver when appropriating large sums of money such as military salaries, and then converts them into copper coins when they arrive at the place.

Because gold and silver are easy to collect, large private households also exchange their wealth for gold and silver collection.

When Lin Chong bought the treasure sword, he used the money converted into silver to pay for it.

Because of the large number of copper coins minted and folded into two coins, when the appearance of three coins, the output of silver can not keep up, since the Song Zhenzong silver price has been rising, now two money for one tael of silver, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

There are slight differences in different places, but the difference is not large, roughly one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver for twenty yuan.

When Wu Yong earned three ruans, he sold an urn of wine, twenty catties of raw and cooked beef, and a pair of big chickens for one or two pieces of silver.

Bai Sheng sold a barrel of wine in Huangnigang for five yuan, and although Wu Yong bought an urn of wine for five yuan, he didn't know how much, but he came to earn the three heroes of the Ruan family, so he must not be stingy. The three heroes of the Ruan family are not as good as Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, and they are always rough men, and the amount of alcohol is not small. What's more, there are twenty catties of raw and cooked beef and a pair of big chickens.

If a tael of silver is converted into a regular amount of money, it is obviously not enough.

It can be ruled out that Bai Sheng raised the price of wine.

Bai Sheng originally wanted to pick up wine to sell in the village, but he met a guest halfway, which saved a lot of effort, and there was no reason to increase the price. If the price is increased, even if Chao Gai and the others do not bargain, the soldiers under Yang Zhi will also bargain. From beginning to end, no one said that Bai Sheng's price was wrong, which shows that Bai Sheng's asking price is not high.

It can only be said that Cai Jing and other traitors have seized power and made prices rise a lot.
