During the Tang Dynasty, silver began to circulate as currency.
But because silver is very scarce, one tael of silver can usually be exchanged for one and a half copper coins.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that trade with the West and a large amount of silver flowed into China, and silver became the main currency.
But it was not the silver that made Lin Xuan happy. The two boxes of silver were estimated to be only a few thousand taels. If converted into copper coins, they would be only a few thousand taels. He had not yet seen this amount of money.
The most important thing is that in the third box, there are ten Fuso knives.
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
He was just thinking about how to get the Fuso knife when the Fuso people took the initiative to bring it to him.
Jinbenyang said: "Master Hou, these two boxes of silver are a total of three thousand taels. The other box is my Fusang's knife. My Fusang's knife is much sharper than the Tang Dynasty's sword. The Marquis is a military commander, so I think he will like it."
"
When it was said that the Fuso knife was sharper than the Tang Dynasty knife, Jin Benyang's face was filled with pride.
Lin Xuan curled his lips. It was sharp, but the blade was so thin that it would break after a short time. It was useless.
All fools know that a thin blade can save iron, but didn’t the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty know that?
The iron-making technology in ancient times was backward. In order to be strong and durable, the blade was made so thick.
"Yes, I like your gift very much." Lin Xuan's tone became much better for the sake of the knife.
Jin Benyang smiled and said: "As long as the Marquis likes it, I, Fusang, admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much. I hope that the Marquis will not be biased against Fusang because of what happened before."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, last time it was because they made noise in my restaurant and took action. I can only kill the chicken to scare the monkey, otherwise no one will dare to do anything to me in the future.
Is the restaurant taking action?"
Jin Benyang was a little confused. Could it be that Lin Xuan was really just for this reason?
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future." Jin Benyang said.
Lin Xuan said: "As long as you Fusang people don't provoke me, I won't bother to talk to you Fusang people."
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Tsumotoyo said.
He originally thought that Lin Xuan was targeting them Fusang for other reasons.
But now it seems that he is overthinking.
It's not that he believed Lin Xuan so easily, it was Lin Xuan's age that was too deceptive.
Now that you know everything you want to know, there is no need to stay here and suffer.
Lin Xuan said calmly: "I won't send it away."
Tsumotoyo cupped his hands, turned and left the hall.
After Tsubenyang disappeared, Lin Xuan couldn't wait to take out a Fuso knife from the box.
The Fuso Knife was very light to buy, Lin Xuan estimated it only weighed five or six pounds.
Compared with the Tang Dao, the weight is less than half.
"Come here, take these two boxes of silver to the warehouse."
Lin Xuan didn't even look at the two boxes of silver.
It is said that there are many silver mines in Fuso, and silver is not a rare thing to Fuso.
However, Fuso at this time was very backward and had nothing else to offer.
…
Wanhua House is the seventh-ranked brothel in Chang'an District. Few people know that it is the property of the Wang family.
Two men, holding long knives in their hands, walked into Wanhua Tower.
The boy standing at the door quickly stopped them when he saw this.
"Masters, you can't bring knives in," the boy said with a smile.
"Show us the knife. If we lose it, we will smash your Wanhua Tower." The man said arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, gentlemen," the young man said flatteringly.
The two men handed the knife to the boy and walked in.
"You two are very nice. Is this your first time in our Wanhua Building?" Hua's mother greeted her with a smile on her face.
"We are from Fuso, and this is indeed our first time here," one of them said.
The Fuso Mission is so large, Mother Hua naturally knows it.
Thinking that there were so many people in the Fuso Mission, if these two people had fun, others might come over, and the smile on Hua's mother's face became even brighter.
"Masters, please come this way." Hua's mother personally led the way and took the two of them to the private room upstairs.
"It's your first time here, how can I recommend it to you?" Mother Hua said.
"No need, even though it's our first time here, we've heard that Miss Qingluo from Wanhua Tower is a rare beauty, so we asked her to come and accompany us."
Hua's mother was stunned for a moment and said: "Since you have heard Miss Qingluo's name, you should know that Miss Qingluo does not accept guests. There are many beauties in Wanhua Building. I will call more and let you choose."
how?"
Although Qingluo is the top prize of Wanhua House, in fact, it is Wang Qingyun's forbidden pet in Wanhua House.
Wang Qingyun was very obsessed with Qingluo, but the Wang family was an aristocratic family, and Qingluo was not qualified to be a concubine because of her status. Wang Qingyun could only arrange Qingluo in Wanhua Tower.
Wanhua Building is owned by the Wang family, how dare she let Wang Qingyun's woman come out to receive guests.
"There are still women in brothels who don't accept customers? It's just a matter of money." The man sneered, took out a few silver coins from his arms and threw them on the table, saying: "Go quickly and call someone over."
Mother Hua looked at the silver nuggets on the table and was very moved.
The silver nuggets on the table were about seven or eight taels. If she took them and replaced them with copper coins, she could definitely make a fortune.
But when she thought of Qing Luo's identity, she calmed down.
The man slapped the case and stood up, saying angrily: "We want Miss Qingluo. If we don't see Miss Qingluo, we will destroy your Wanhua Building."
Mother Hua smiled and said, "Masters, please wait a moment. I'll go ask for instructions."
"Go quickly!"
After Mother Hua left, another man who had been silent said: "Brother Hu, do you think Wang Qingyun will come over?"
Cao Hu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Wang Qingyun is here. We have ideas for his woman and we are so arrogant. There is no way he won't come."
Zhang Dayong said: "I hope he will bring more people."
Cao Hu said quickly: "Don't act recklessly. The Marquis said, let us resist and pretend to be invincible, and we will be beaten by them."
"Brother Hu, don't worry. I remember everything the Marquis told me. But if he can bring some masters over, we won't be so depressed if we lose and get beaten," Zhang Dayong said.
These two people were Zhang Daoquan's apprentice Zhang Dayong, and Cao Junwei's son Cao Hu.
There is a box on the third floor of Wanhua Building. This box is Wang Qingyun’s exclusive box.
At this time, Wang Qingyun was holding a woman and talking.
This woman is the top Qingluo girl in Wanhua Tower.
Qingluo is very beautiful, but for people like Wang Qingyun, there are too many beautiful women.
He is obsessed with Qingluo, mainly because Qingluo has a sense of weakness in it, which makes people have a desire to protect.
"Sir, I've been missing you so much during this time," Qing Luo said angrily.
Wang Qingyun said: "Stop talking, I miss you too, but my father asked me to go back to the family. I came back immediately after I finished my work."
"Sir, will you come back one day and stop coming?" Qing Luo said in a low mood.
Wang Qingyun lifted Qingluo's chin and said, "No, even if I have to leave, I will take you with me."
"Really?" Qingluo said in surprise.
Of course it's fake.
He didn't even dare to take Qingluo back to the Wang family in Chang'an, let alone the Wang family in Taiyuan.
"Really." Wang Qingyun smiled.
At this time, he would naturally not say anything that would disgrace the scenery.
"Dong dong dong~"
Wang Qingyun frowned and said, "Come in."
Mother Hua pushed open the door and came in, said a blessing and said: "I have met the young master."
