Zhao Xu said the second thing.

In March, he ran to the inner warehouse and saw something. A yamen from another place came to the capital to collect seven coins of gold. In ancient times, the seven gold might refer to seven taels of gold or seven taels of silver, but here it was seven taels of silver, not seven taels of gold.

It's this seven taels of silver!

First of all, let’s talk about this silver. In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, one thousand coins were exchanged for one tael of silver. Later, a large amount of silver from Japan flowed into China, and even Spain brought European silver to China. Therefore, the price of silver gradually dropped, and at the lowest point it dropped to 500 coins of copper coins to exchange for one tael of silver. Only in the late Ming Dynasty, it turned into a few thousand coins for one tael of silver. After all, the amount of silver was small and easy to hide.

But in the Song Dynasty, at first, one thousand cents were exchanged for one tael of silver. After obtaining the south, it was once reduced to five hundred cents and could be exchanged for one tael of silver. Now it can only be exchanged for one tael of silver. If Wang Ju did not promote history, it would rise to three thousand cents and four thousand cents in history!

Therefore, the overall silver price is higher than that of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Seven taels of silver, one thousand four hundred ci, equivalent to the purchasing power of 700 RMB in the early 21st century.

However, the local government owed the depositary seven taels of silver in the warehouse and had to pay it on time. He had no choice but to send a yamen to the capital to pay the seven taels of silver.

However, this yamen did not know the rules. When he arrived in the capital, the officials in the city wanted to eat or take them, or if he knew the rules, it was only seven taels of silver. How much bribe money could he bring?

Therefore, under the seven or eight cards of the official in the warehouse, he had not paid the seven taels of silver before he could hand over the money.

What should I do?

So he didn't dare to go back, so he hid in the capital to work and make a living. However, the capital was expensive and it was very easy to work, so he worked for a whole year before paying all seven taels of silver.

The Inner Library asked the question, and the yamen fronted the yamen to tell this story. Some officials in the Inner Library saw that he was pitiful and let him go. However, it was too late to record it, and it was recorded again. Of course, it would not be recorded like this. However, Zhao Xu was definitely not a fool. When he saw this record, he saw the passing.

However, at this time, the Song Dynasty had many creations and many caves. Zhao Xu was not good at saying or did not want to say it, so he had to say something to the minister: "I read the report from the inner warehouse. There was a person from other states who sent him a yamen to pay seven cents of gold."

Zhao Xu talked about the story and said sadly on the chair: "Seven taels of silver, is this my country?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
