Speaking of "Water Margin", in addition to the 108 good men, the women in it are also the focus. On the surface, "Water Margin" is a man's story, but if it were not for the help of women, "Water Margin" may not be so attractive.
The women in "Water Margin" are Pan Jinlian, Qiu Qiongying, and Lin Niangzi, who are full of charms; there are the heroes of the towel, Hu Sanniang, Gu Dajie, Sun Erniang, and some medium-sized Pan Qiaoyun, Jin'er, and so on.
But when it comes to beauty and fame, it will definitely not be Pan Jinlian, because at that time there was also the Tokyo Qinglou Flower Queen, and she was the most dazzling flower among these women: Li Shishi.

At that time, Master Li was famous outside, and it was said that he was not only good-looking, but also very talented, and a woman with great affection and righteousness. Therefore, when Emperor Huizong of Song first saw Li Shishi, he was deeply attracted to her, and often sneaked into the Qinglou in the middle of the night to meet with her, and the emperor was still very qualified to be a lover.
However, Master Li still had to think about himself, although Song Huizong also felt that it was not good for him to go to the Qinglou when he was old, and wanted to keep a low profile, but Master Li felt that this was a pure gold shield to enhance himself and protect himself, so the emperor's infatuation with Master Li became an open secret.
Song Jiang, who was anxious to recruit security, asked For Master Li after he had no way out of the book, but the flower queen who was very popular at that time was not so good to see, and song Jiang also paid some price in history, so how much silver did Song Jiang give to Master Li at that time? How much is it converted to RMB?

After Song Huizong's infatuation with Master Li's open secret was known to Song Jiang, he thought it was time for him! The 108 good men who were forced to go to Liangshan in the Water Margin, in fact, many of them had serious occupations before, and they all wanted to be innocent, but they only went to Liangshan because of all kinds of helplessness, but returning to normal people's lives is their greatest expectation, after all, most people are not bad in essence.
Therefore, when everything is on the right track and the 108 good men are in order, the boss Song Jiang began the road to Zhao'an. Judging from the current situation at that time, robbing and killing people was not a long-term solution, and if you wanted to fight for a good future for yourself, you had to turn to the imperial court.
However, at present, the imperial court is stepping up its efforts to sweep away criminal syndicates and eliminate evil forces, and "Shandong Song Jiang" has been included in the blacklist of sweeping, and seeing that he has already been firmly established as the head of the four major thieves, how can Song Jiang not be in a hurry. Therefore, Song Jiang rushed to Tokyo with his brothers and began to fight for zhaoan.

At that time, the Song Dynasty was not very corrupt, but almost all important official positions and powerful yamen were occupied by relatives of the emperor and the state and local squires, and it was not easy to establish a relationship.
As long as he appears, it is estimated that someone will immediately throw him into prison, so at this juncture, it is necessary to be particularly cautious in selecting a person who can really do things for Song Jiang.
Master Li became the best choice for Song Jiang at that time, and the qinglou woman's favorite thing was money, and it was a fool not to fish for the benefits. In addition, Li Shishi met Yan Qing by chance by Song Jiang's side, and since then he has been mistaken for life.

Li Shishi obviously fell in love with Yan Qing, the prodigal son at that time, and compared with those obscene prostitutes, hypocritical literati, and emperors who were high above, The appearance of Yan Qing undoubtedly made Li Shishi's world blossom.
Yan Qing was covered in tattoos, very prickly but handsome, although he entered the court, he was always polite and respectful to Master Li. Master Li told Yan Qing his intentions several times, but at that time, Yan Qing was too timid to pretend not to understand, and finally recognized Master Li as his sister.
Master Li's disappointment was overflowing with words, and then when Yan Qing introduced Song Jiang, he also put away his children's feelings and seriously calculated.
In the original work, Yan Qing passed on the "meeting meeting" for Song Jiang, according to Yan Qing, the first meeting gift was one hundred and two gold! After that, he also gave Li Shishi a lot of benefit fees one after another, so how much did Song Jiang spend on Li Shishi in order to recruit security?

Let's find a few plots and realistic combinations from the text to analyze. Before Lin Chong was killed, Lu Qian and a group of people went to dinner and drink together, right at Li Xiao'er's house. At that time, Lu Qian arrogantly ordered three or four bottles of good wine, and then threw one or two pieces of silver to Li Xiao'er, and Li Xiao'er went happily.
According to our current price, a bottle of good wine that can be compared to the hand is also several hundred yuan, and one or two silver can buy three or four bottles, which means that if one or two silver is converted into our current yuan, it is about a thousand yuan.
In the original work, there are also several places, we can see that one or two silver in the hands of the Song Dynasty people at that time, the purchasing power is still very large, therefore, the original netizens said that one or two silver is equivalent to the current three or four hundred yuan, this statement is still stingy, estimated to have a thousand yuan.

How much is the one or two gold mentioned in the article? In ancient times, people's silver was silver, gold, and copper coins. Copper coins are similar to our current coins, fragments, low purchasing power, the poor have more hands, silver is like ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, the circulation rate is wide, gold is like a hundred yuan bill, not easy to appear, as soon as it appears, it will flash blind eyes.

According to the records at that time, it was always about a thousand texts, almost one or two pieces of silver; one or two pieces of gold were 4 consecutive.
According to this conversion, we can know that about 4 pairs of silver is 1 pair of gold. 450 two pieces of silver is 100 two gold, and one or two pieces of silver if we convert it according to 1,000 yuan, 100 two gold is 450,000 yuan.
According to historical records, Li Shishi helped Song Jiang zhao an successfully, and there was more than one meeting before and after, which showed that Song Jiang spent more than 100 taels of gold in order to successfully recruit an security. But is Song Jiang's money worth it?

In fact, if Yan Qing was willing at that time, maybe Song Jiang's money would be discounted, at least to spend less, but Yan Qing at that time was really too real to dare to cross the thunder pool.
In addition to the fear that he would fall into the gentle township and ruin the big brothers' big things; Yan Qing was still a person who understood, and he knew that once he fell in love with Master Li, or half pushed and half fell under Master Li's pomegranate skirt, sooner or later this matter would be discovered by Emperor Huizong of Song.
If Emperor Huizong of Song found himself wearing a green hat, would he easily spare Yan Qing? Surely even Liangshan would be served in one pot, therefore, Yan Qing's restraint was still very rational, which was not unrelated to his ability to expect that he would not have a good result when he was recruiting an after that, but left alone and eventually wandered the rivers and lakes.

Yan Qing was a person who looked promiscuous, but was very rational and sober, and it was better for Song Jiang to spend more silver than to let himself be involved. Moreover, judging from the final results, Master Li did not suffer losses, helped Song Jiang, lost Yan Qing, and got silver and a righteous brother, which was also very cost-effective.
