money! money! money!
In any era, it is difficult to move without money. The dilapidated courtyard walls, the cold house with air leakage everywhere, the empty kitchen, and the clothes full of traces of needlework all reflect the hardship of life.
These foreign objects are not urgent, but Mu Nianci's illness cannot be cured.
The winter snow is flying, the clouds are dense, and the snowflakes are flying and circling, one after another, falling gently to the ground. The layers of snowflakes become thicker in the blink of an eye. This scene is unspeakable in the eyes of modern people. The beautiful scenery, the snow heralds a good harvest, but the prerequisite is that you can survive this long winter. I don’t know how many houses have been crushed by this heavy snow, and how many people have become homeless.
'Well, let's find some change first. '
Li Jie had the impression that Yang Guo knew where the family's money was kept. Occasionally, he would secretly take a penny or two to buy sweets from a vagabond, but he would never dare to take more. After all, the family's money was not much, and it suddenly became less. A lot of mothers will definitely be suspicious.
The money was hidden under Mu Nianci's bed. Li Jie gently opened the door and found that Mu Nianci had fallen asleep deeply after eating the porridge, with a faint smile on her cheeks.
good sign!
The fact that she can smile shows that she still has attachment to the world. Medicine can't cure diseases, Buddha can save destined people, and doctors can save those diseases that can be saved. If Mu Nianci's heart knot cannot be opened, even if he is saved this time, it will not be safe. I won’t find another reason to relapse next time.
'Yang Guo is really so naughty! '
More than half of the memories in my mind are scenes of Yang Guo being naughty and mischievous. There are too few really useful things. Fortunately, the original owner is naughty and has not fallen behind much in terms of martial arts.
It’s funny to think about it. The original intention of the original owner to learn martial arts was to catch more fish, climb taller trees, and dig out more bird eggs. Mu Nianci instilled in him the idea that his left ear goes in and his right ear goes out. , didn’t listen at all.
Li Jie gently took out the iron box containing the money from under the bed. However, he didn't know what the box was made of. The first thing he felt when he picked it up was that it was very heavy. The coins inside were unstable and collided with each other. The sound of tinkling bells.
"kindness?"
Mu Nianci woke up and turned around to see Li Jie who was getting money. Thinking of the bowl of porridge before, a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
"Come... son, are you going to use the money to buy food?"
"Ahem!"
"It... looks... like... it's snowing again. The road is cold and slippery. Be careful. If you want to buy steamed buns... go to... Wu Ji... steamed bun shop in town, ahem... ahem, their store The price of their buns is the most reasonable, with thin skin and plenty of fillings. A pork bun costs three cents, and you can buy two for five cents. If you want to buy one, you’d better buy an even number.”
"Ahem...if you want to eat haggis noodles...ahem...then go to Aunt Qian's Noodle House. Theirs is the best. A bowl costs 7 cents."
Li Jie felt a little moved when he heard Mu Nianci's intermittent words. He was so sick and still thought about whether his child could have enough to eat. What a pitiful parent.
"Mom, aren't you hungry? I just saw in the kitchen that the medicine is gone. I'm going to go to the town to grab two more medicine for you. You will definitely get better after taking the medicine."
Two lines of hot tears rolled down Mu Nianci's cheeks that looked a little yellow due to illness. Mu Nianci was holding tears and wanted to talk, but the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, but she didn't say a word. She thought of her previous I couldn't help but feel deeply guilty for secretly throwing away the medicine.
Seeing this, Li Jie stepped forward and quickly reached out to wipe the tears on her face: "Mom, don't cry. Did I make you angry somewhere?"
Although Li Jie knew that Mu Nianci was most likely moved, he still pretended to be at a loss in order to fit the character.
Mu Nianci smiled with tears in her eyes and said: "Well, mother, don't... cry, ahem... mother, don't cry. Guo'er, not only did you not do anything wrong, but you did a good job. You can take the money in the box if you want." Well, no need to take it secretly anymore."
Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Mu Nianci revealing the previous actions of the original owner, even if he had not done the things. After all, the original owner could be regarded as his clone before his true spirit awakened, and those things were his doing in disguise.
Mu Nianci then explained a few more words, which was nothing more than which store in town was better and more affordable, so that Li Jie could be more confident when he went to town. In the end, he probably felt tired and fell asleep again soon after.
After Mu Nianci fell asleep, Li Jie opened the iron box. There were some scattered copper coins inside, and it seemed that the number was less than a hundred coins.
"Huh!"
'This seems to be a meeting! '
In addition to the scattered copper coins in the box, there was also a piece of paper in the shape of a banknote. When I spread it out, I saw what was written on it.
The sixteenth realm, Shaoding five years, five hundred articles, limited to nine years.
'The fifth year of Shaoding? '
Fortunately, Li Jie carefully checked the information about the Southern Song Dynasty before entering the dungeon. Otherwise, he really would not know the era name. The fifth year of Shaoding is 1232. Historically, it is the era name used by Lizong of the Song Dynasty. Song Lizong reigned during the Southern Song Dynasty. The longest emperor reigned for forty-one years and used a total of eight reign titles.
I just don’t know if the emperor of this world is the one in history?
However, the shape when held in hand is no different from the shape seen in the main world.
Huizi is a paper currency officially issued by the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was also the first dynasty in Chinese history to use paper money as its main currency. A large part of the reason was due to the pressure of war.
The Southern Song Dynasty was in turmoil at the beginning of its establishment. All the northern territories were occupied by the Jin Dynasty. Lin Yu was invading the Jin Dynasty and maintained hundreds of thousands of troops all year round. The recruitment system of the Southern Song Dynasty was a military service system. It was different from the government military system in the early Tang Dynasty. Under the military system, all expenses for soldiers, including food, were borne by the court.
(Under the government military system, except for a small part of the soldiers' clothing, food, and equipment provided by the court, most of the rest is borne by the soldiers and their families, which is equivalent to bringing their own dry food and equipment. The advantage of the military service system is that it does less harm to the civilian population when there is no war. .)
If you include the families of the soldiers, the number of people supported by the Southern Song Dynasty's finances exceeded one million. If things go on like this, you can imagine the great pressure on military expenditures.
In addition to military expenditures, the Southern Song Dynasty also had a money shortage. Under various pressures, the Southern Song government had to choose to issue banknotes. At the beginning of the issuance of Huizi in the Southern Song Dynasty, the currency value was stable, and the exchange ratio between Huizi and copper coins remained at a consistent ratio of about 770 Wen for a long time. However, With the frequent wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the imperial court had to issue excessive amounts of Huizi in the face of huge military expenditures.
By the sixteenth level of issuance, the exchange ratio between Huizi and copper coins had dropped to more than 300 Wen. The purchasing power of the 500 Wen Huizi held by Li Jie was equivalent to more than 100 Wen copper coins.
After all, the money in the box was only more than two hundred yuan. I'm afraid the money was not even enough to buy medicine.
