In fact, Shen Hong very much hoped that Chen Yan and Emperor Maode Roufu would bid, but considering that this might offend the royal princess, he had to say: "My father has a lot of treasures, compared to pearls and mirrors, the others are delicate small toys, ornaments, or women's perfumes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since this is the case, the things will be displayed first, and the three of them will choose their favorite things, can they? ”

"Good!" Zhao Fujin agreed.

Sure enough, when Shen Hong placed the colorful and crystal clear glass products on the table, Chen Yan's eyes straightened: "Can the glass still be made like this?" The texture is so round and delicate, and it is even more rare that it is transparent, which ...... It's a masterpiece of creation. ”

Zhao Duofu was also dazzled, and suddenly she picked up the cube-shaped metal that Shen Hong put down and asked, "What is this metal?" ”

Shen Hong pointed to the lighter with a metal shell and smiled: "This is a lighter!" ”

Shen Hong made a demonstration, so everyone was shocked, Zhao Fujin covered his mouth and said in horror: "Why can iron make fire?" ”

"Uh......" Shen Hong tried to explain in words that the ancients could understand, "there is a flammable gas inside, and the flint at the seal emits sparks that ignite this gas!" ”

"What is a flammable gas?" Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu, Chen Yan and the four women present were all at a loss.

Considering that the ancients could not use natural gas, let alone refine gasoline, because of the lack of process materials, Shen Hong did not explain much: "Although this thing is exquisite, because the gas in it is limited, once it is used up, it will be useless, so there is a problem of service life!" ”

"This fire... How long is the machine available? Chen Yan asked.

According to the way the ancients used it, Shen Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a very conservative number of days: "As long as there will be no problems, it should be able to be used hundreds of times!" ”

"Very good!" Chen Yan touched the goatee and smiled, "I don't know how this thing was made, I can't see the gap, it has a good collection value, how many sons are there?" We have received it all! ”

"Just three!"

In the plot of Jackie Chan's movie "Zodiac", the villain tears off one of the only two stamps in the world, so as to make the remaining one even rarer.

The so-called scarcity is expensive, Shen Hong naturally will not be stupid to bring much - of course, small is also a problem!

"One for each person!" Zhao Duofu smiled.

Chen Yan said stupidly: "One for each person!" ”

When Shen Hong took out those bottles, the length of his index finger, which was originally just a perfume for testing the water, Zhao Fujin, who was still very calm just now, was not calm immediately, her eyes were surprised, and then in Chen Yan's resentful gaze, she and Zhao Duofu smiled at the box of twelve bottles of different types of perfumes.

It is worth mentioning that in order not to reveal the origin of the goods, Shen Hong threw away the trademark and even the packaging box with the text, so these perfumes are completely wrapped in low-value plastic packaging on the modern market.

However, Chen Yan also almost won the glass products that Shen Hong brought the most, that is, colorful glass buns, ornaments, and pendants. For this reason, Chen Yan took out eight hundred taels of gold in one go, plus Zhao Fujin's eight hundred taels of gold, and Zhao Duofu's one thousand taels of gold, a total of two thousand six hundred taels of gold, and Shen Hong's trip was amazing.

When Zhao Duofu and Zhao Fujin ordered someone to send gold, Shen Hong arched his hand to Chen Yan and said: "When I came in just now, I saw that Liuyunzhai had more than ten or twenty pieces of porcelain for decoration, can I sell them all?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Yan immediately smiled dumbly: "Since Gongzi has so many precious items, why do you dare to be so interested in porcelain?" Even if the porcelain in the store is made by famous kilns, it can't compare to what Childe sells. ”

"It's okay, the shopkeeper is willing to carry love!"

"No problem! It's for Childe! "Although Liuyunzhai's porcelain is expensive, it is a contemporary thing after all, and it is not a royal product, let alone an antique from the previous dynasty, so Chen Yan simply gave it to Shen Hong directly.

"So, thank you!"

Zhao Duofu got a lot of strange things today, and she was in a very good mood, she smiled and said, "Do you want me to order someone to send gold to your mansion?" ”

Shen Hong pondered for a while, glanced at his watch, and found that he had been grinding for two hours in this era, and immediately arched his hand and said: "No, just send it directly to Liuyunzhai!" Shopkeeper Chen, can you clean a room and put the gold porcelain together? ”

Chen Yan thought that Shen Hong was going to wait for someone to come over, so he nodded: "It's a good effort!" ”

At this time, Shen Hong said again: "The little beggar who came with me just now is destined for me, but I can't raise him, can Shopkeeper Chen help me keep it?" ”

Chen Yan was taken aback: "Why? Although the son's family background is scattered, he can't afford to raise a little maidservant, right? ”

Seeing Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu frowning slightly, obviously misunderstanding that Shen Hong was a stingy person, Shen Hong shook his head bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, if I take it back, this little beggar may not survive!" ”

Shen Hong alluded to the ability that he was still very unfamiliar with, but Zhao Fujin thought that Shen Hong's family had a jealous woman, so Ji Yan said softly: "Since this is the case, I will be a favor and accept this little beggar for you!" ”

"Princess Xie is complete!"

"You're a warm-hearted person!"

Zhao Fujin originally planned to leave first, but Zhao Duofu had already noticed the watch on Shen Hong's wrist, so he asked, "What's the use of that thing on your wrist?" ”

"Look at the time!" Shen Hong took off the mechanical automatic watch and handed it to Zhao Duofu, and explained in detail what the Arabic numerals, second hand, minute hand, hour hand, etc. represented, Zhao Duofu was pleasantly surprised: "This thing is really so accurate and magical?" Can you sell it to me? ”

Chen Yan was also full of eagerness, Shen Hong immediately bowed to Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu, and said: "Today, thanks to the blessing of the two princesses, I sold my father's things for a good price, and I am willing to dedicate the watch to the two princesses!" ”

Zhao Fujin groaned, but Zhao Duofu couldn't wait to take it and put it on his hand, but found that the belt was not suitable, and she couldn't wear it at all. Although she was a little disappointed, she still happily said to her sister: "Sister Huang, as long as we dedicate the watch to our father, my father will definitely be happy!" ”

Zhao Fujin was helpless, so he had to bow his head to Shen Hong and say, "Since you like ceramics, then I'll also let someone send some!" The royal tribute must be much better than the porcelain of Liuyunzhai, Yun'er, when you go back to the house to get the gold, you will send a set by the way......"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, princess!"

When she heard that she would enter the palace to serve Emperor Maode, she suddenly burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Hong twice: "Thank you, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to serve your health in the next life!" ”

"You and I are destined, you're welcome!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have jumped right next to her and saved her at the same time, would I?

When the palace sent someone to send gold porcelain, and Zhao Fujin and the others were about to take someone away, Shen Hong hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "If you have time, can the princess wait for a while, and have something important to tell you next!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Fujin glanced at Shen Hong, who was sincere, and nodded, "Okay!" I also want to ask you why... Does the second hand in the watch keep moving? Why do you need to turn this hair... strip to be able to move around? How does this work? ”

Shen Hong smiled bitterly at the moment, so he had to consider the words and explain the principle of clockwork in words that the ancient natives could understand.

Not long after, Chen Yan came to inform Shen Hong that the gold porcelain had been packed and placed next door, Shen Hong nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu: "Princess, please!" ”

……

Gold and silver in the Song Dynasty were not the main currency in circulation, but the scarcity of gold determined its natural monetary value, so in the Song Dynasty, gold and silver were used to settle medium and large transactions. At the same time, Zhao and Song would also mint large amounts of money to reward their children, clans, and a large number of ministers.

As for the banknote Jiaozi, under the instruction of Zhao Ji, Cai Jing printed a large number of banknotes to plunder the wealth of the people during the reign of Cai Jing, and the serious inflation made Jiaozi like waste paper, and it was no longer as stable as the Renzong to Shenzong Dynasty back then!

The value of paper money was greatly depreciated, and the people refused to accept it, and those who had paper money in hand also exchanged it for copper money or physical goods as soon as possible, and pressed the copper money at the bottom of the box for storage. As a result, the market was flooded with paper money, and the shortage of copper money gradually drove out copper money - in a word, bad money drove out good money.

Faced with the chaotic situation, the imperial court had to declare that the people had to pay a certain amount of copper coins when paying taxes, and that the value of paper money and copper coins had to be exchanged at a fixed exchange rate. This practice is tantamount to an official announcement to lower the credit rating of paper money, exposing to the common people the reality that the credit of paper money is on the verge of collapse.

However, the poor political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Shen Hong, who had long defined himself as a space-time merchant who "had the right not to expire and be invalid". It wasn't that he had never seen gold, and he still had a set of gold bars for the zodiac in his house, but when he saw that each hourglass-shaped gold ingot, weighing about twenty-five taels, was neatly stacked, emitting a dazzling blue and yellow light, his eyes straightened.

2600 taels of gold is equivalent to 162.5 catties [Note: in ancient times, one catty was about 16 taels], the weight of a strong man, and the scene was quite spectacular.
