How much is a hundred thousand dollars? We must first know what "infiltration" is.
It is consistent to wear a thousand dollars with hemp rope, which is also called two hooks. Now some people say that 250 is half-assed.
Brain tonic: 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, 1 million yuan, 10 million yuan, 100 million yuan and 100,000 yuan.
Converted into silver, according to experts' estimation, one or two pieces of silver in the Shuihu period and the Xuanhe period in the Northern Song Dynasty are always firm, that is, a little more. That's about 100 thousand taels of silver.
With the rapid development of social economy and the unprecedented development of industry and commerce in Song Dynasty, the demand for money is unprecedented. We know that other dynasties in history were 1000 yuan, which was equal to one or two pieces of silver, but this was not the case in the Song Dynasty.
Both the History of Song Dynasty-Food and History of Zi Zhi Tong Jian mentioned that since Zhenzong, the stock of silver was too small to keep up with the economic development, and the price of silver kept rising. Basically, more than 2,000 copper coins were used as one or two pieces of silver. Moreover, the "money law" in the Song Dynasty was very chaotic. At that time, copper coins, iron coins and lead-tin coins were in circulation at the same time, and each state had the right to make its own coins. There are also cases of private money casting. The money varies in size, composition is inappropriate, value is changeable, and it is "made at any time", which is very chaotic.
Sichuan and Shaanxi use iron coins, and ten coins are exchanged for a copper coin. The money circulating in Jiangnan and Jiangbei is different. I'm not sure how much money there is. There are 800 or 850 and 480. I have to send a letter to 770, and the States are "doing their own things for their own use", which is a complete mess.
Generally speaking, gold, silver and copper coins (actually copper-based alloys) were the main currencies in ancient times. But the silver standard system in Song Dynasty was different from that in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a copper standard system, with copper coins as the main currency and gold and silver as the daily currency.
Silver in the Song Dynasty was basically used by the rich and was born in response to the commercial development in the Song Dynasty. In the form of silver cakes, silver blocks, silver medals and silver ingots, mainly silver ingots. Generally divided into 50 Liang, 25 Liang, 12 Liang, 7 Liang and 3 Liang. Mainly used for commodity trading.
The basic units of copper coins are "Wen" and "Guan (Jin)", and the sum of them is 1000 Wen. There were 800 articles and 850 articles in the Song Dynasty when the financial situation was tight. There are also discounts of two yuan, when San Qian, when ten yuan and other disguised inflation.
For example, when Yang Zhi killed Niu Er, Niu Er was once asked by San Qian to try the knife. As the name implies, San Qian spent one yuan as San Qian, and Cai Jing even spent ten yuan as prime minister.
When discussing ancient money, we usually use the assumption that 1 two gold = 10 two silver = 10 copper = 10000 copper.
Although the exchange rate of gold, silver and copper has been fluctuating, this assumption should be basically reasonable. Mr. Wang Zengyu, an expert in contemporary Song history, once mentioned in the chapter "Victory" in the seventh chapter of Yue Fei's New Biography that the imperial court sent a provincial letter to Yue Fei: "Fourth, 60,000 pieces of stone and rice and 400,000 pieces of military supplies were handed over. 400,000 yuan is converted into100,000 taels of silver and 5200 taels of gold. At that time, gold and silver were not used as independent currencies. " It can be seen that 400,000 copper coins in the early Southern Song Dynasty were equivalent to 65,438+100,000 silver and 5,000 gold, which basically met the above assumptions in order of magnitude.
In addition,100000 is about 30 million now, which is in line with the plot and the identity of the giver and recipient.
Shuihu wrote that Liangshan hero wanted to recruit Fang La to move troops, but Song Wu refused to return to Beijing and became a monk in Liuhe Temple. He was named the founder of Zhong Qing and gave him money for the rest of his life. It can be seen that the reward for Song Wu is still quite large.
Off-topic: In fact, copper coins and iron coins were used in the market circulation in the Song Dynasty (the "cross" of paper money appeared in some areas of the Northern Song Dynasty). A copper coin, commonly known as copper coin, can basically be exchanged for 10 iron coins.
"Jiaozi" can be regarded as the earliest paper money in the world, which is more than 600 years earlier than that in Europe, thanks to the development of paper industry and printing industry in Song Dynasty. Jiaozi originated in Sichuan, and "Huizi" and "Guan Zi" appeared in Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, in the Song Dynasty, because coins and banknotes were not unified everywhere, it was entirely to cope with the development of the market. The government adopts the strategy of "big market, small government", which only gives guidance and guidance, and does not forcibly interfere with the circulation links such as coin-making, printing and printing. Gold and silver exchange shops have been set up in various places to exchange gold and silver coins, paper money, salt and tea.
It was only after the foreign trade was active in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and foreign silver poured in. But why do many people always think that silver is a traditional currency in circulation? This is mainly because the writers of novels in Ming and Qing dynasties basically described the former dynasties according to the living conditions at that time, such as Water Margin, Jin Ping Mei and San Yan Er Pai. The binary value of silver in these works is based on the silver price in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a mixture of primitive monetary units such as Wen, Guan, Min and Ba, which has a great influence on later generations, so that some TV dramas have appeared.
