Chapter five hundred and fifteen life-saving money
When Zhou Xuan was watching the Condor Heroes, he felt very despised by the Wu brothers. Sometimes he even thought that they were even more annoying than Guo Fu, so he never thought about giving them a good look.
Wu Dunru was shocked when he heard Zhou Xuan's words. He didn't expect that there was a master in the place where Wu Santong was looking for. But Wu Santong would come back later, so it was difficult for them to leave immediately. He could only bow to Zhou Xuan and said with apologetic expression.
"Well, this little brother, I'm so sorry. Because we were hunted by our enemies, we had no choice but to avoid it for a while."
Zhou Xuan walked to the Wu brothers with his hands in his chest, touched his chin and pretended to be malicious to the two boys. Then he stretched out one hand and spread his palms and said to the Wu brothers.
"Oh, you were hunted by enemies, so you want to hide in my house. You can also hide, do you have money?"
He looked at these two brats as he was really disgusting, so he planned to pretend to be the two brothers.
When Wu Dunru heard this, he showed an anxious expression on his face.
"……money?"
He turned his head and looked at Wu Xiuwen with a questioning meaning on his face.
But how could Wu Xiuwen have money? So he also showed a look of panic on his face. He didn't even look at Wu Dunru's expression, and he was panicked. When Wu Dunru saw this scene, he could only sigh silently. He turned his head and said to Zhou Xuan with a slight smile.
"We left in a hurry, so we didn't have time to bring money. But the world is in urgent need of help, so why bother with it! You have a lot of sir, just save our lives. You are a good person and will definitely be rewarded in the future."
In fact, the Wu family is not rich, and there is no money at home on weekdays. Even if you really bring money, how much money can you bring?
After hearing this, Zhou Xuan immediately opened his eyes wide and said, staring at Wu Dunru.
"I'm not a person in the world, and you have enemies. If the enemy catches up, wouldn't it also implicate myself? I risk my life to take you in. It's not an exaggeration to collect some money."
But Wu Dunru issued a good person card in person, and he felt really strange.
In fact, what he said is right. Saving people is a relationship, and not saving them is a duty. Ordinary people are involved in this kind of grudge and grudge, and they are indeed easily implicated. He said he was making fun of the Wu brothers, but in fact he was not completely unreasonable and nonsense.
When Wu Dunru heard this, he fell into deep thought.
"this……"
But Wu Xiuwen next to him gave up and spread his hands helplessly and said to Zhou Xuan.
"We don't have money, what do you think you should do."
Anyway, it is impossible to leave. Wu Santong didn't say that they would leave before. If they were really separated from Wu Santong and others and accidentally bumped into Li Mochou, they would be in real life. So for the sake of life, no matter what Zhou Xuan said, they would not leave here.
Zhou Xuan naturally knew that they had no money, so he showed a bright smile on his face and continued.
"If you really don't have money, I won't make things difficult for you. Then take it as owed you first and kept your accounts. You are one hundred taels alone, so you owe me two hundred taels of silver."
He asked the Wu brothers to owe the debts not just for fun, but in the future it could also be regarded as a handle for the two of them to submit. Anyway, it might be possible to use them at any time. At that time, this will come in handy.
When Wu Dunru heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed.
"What?! One hundred taels per person!!"
Wu Xiuwen next to him couldn't bear it, and said to Zhou Xuan angrily.
"Then you might as well grab it!"
Zhou Xuan showed contemptuous eyes, and he stared at the Wu brothers with his hands and explained.
"Hey, I risked my life to take you in. Isn't your life worth only 200 silver? And I didn't ask you to repay the 200 taels of silver immediately. It's not too late to pay it back when you have money in the future."
To be honest, 200 taels of silver are not particularly expensive as life-saving money.
"Song History Food and Goods Records" and "Suo Zizhi Tongjian" both mentioned that since the Zhenzong Dynasty, the silver stock was relatively small and not enough to catch up with the economic development, the silver price continued to rise, and basically more than two thousand copper coins were one tael of silver.
Moreover, the "money law" of the Song Dynasty was very chaotic, with copper coins, iron coins and lead and tin coins circulating at the same time. Each state had the right to mint coins by itself, and there were also private minting coins. The size of the money was different, the ingredients were not suitable, and the value was varied, and it was "made at any time" and it was very chaotic.
Iron coins are used in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and ten coins are exchanged for one copper coins. The money circulated in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is different.
It is also uncertain how much money is actually there. There are 800 or 850 as the same as the same, and 48 as the same, and there are also edicts to issue 770 as the same, and each state "uses privately according to their customs", which is completely a mess.
According to the "Song History Food and Goods Records" mentioning that "before Xi, Fengfeng, rice and stones were only six or seven hundred yuan" and the "Song History Official Records" "30 yuan per bucket (rice) is discounted by 2,000 copper coins and one tael of silver, the price of rice in Taiping was 300 to 600 yuan per stone.
(There were one tael of silver and one stone of rice before and after the Jingkang Rebellion to the early Southern Song Dynasty, which was not within the normal calculation range)
You can basically buy four to eight stones of rice for one tael of silver. Based on 66 kilograms of Song stone, one tael of silver is equivalent to nearly 924-1848 yuan. To say that Song stone is 96 kilograms, it is equivalent to 672-1344 yuan of 1 tael of silver.
If this is taken as an intermediate value, the purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Song Dynasty would be equivalent to more than one thousand yuan. That one hundred taels of silver would be equivalent to more than one hundred thousand yuan.
Zhou Xuan asked the Wu brothers for more than 200,000 yuan in life-saving money, which is actually not too much. If he was really an ordinary person, he would probably die because of it. It is really not a joke to say that he was risking his life.
"If you really have no money in the future, I will not force you to spend all your money. After all, I am not a bad person and will not do anything to bully people. But if you have money, you must pay me back."
Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen looked at each other, but after some eye contact, they finally made up their minds and said to Zhou Xuan with their heads raised and their chests raised.
"Okay, two hundred taels are two hundred taels."
It is said that newborn calfs are not afraid of tigers, not to mention that they come from martial arts families. In some ways, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the second generation of martial arts.
They have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and of course they have some skills. Anyway, they have kept the accounts in the future, so it would be better to agree generously. Moreover, everyone has only made a verbal agreement and has not left any certificates. If they really rely on this accounts in the future, it will not be a problem.
However, they have never thought about betraying the debt now. When the time comes, they will make plans according to the situation. But they are still confident in their future and do not believe that they will not even be able to take out 200 taels of silver in the future. But in fact, they have not even figured out what the concept of 200 taels of silver is.
Seeing the reactions of Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said with a smile.
"Okay, you have courage. A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. Those who come out to the world must keep their promises, otherwise they will be ridiculed by the people of the world."
He seemed to feel the stupidity of the Wu brothers. Two hundred taels of silver seemed to be like two taels of silver. But he didn't intend to explain anything more. Anyway, they would definitely pay the price.
Seeing that the matter had been finished, Wu Xiuwen patted his chest and said to Zhou Xuan.
"Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back when we have money."
Zhou Xuan showed a satisfied expression on his face, and nodded with a smile.
