When it comes to "Water Margin", I think everyone will not be unfamiliar. We also remember the characters in it, such as Wu Song fighting the tiger, and Lu Zhishen pulling out the weeping willow. Speaking of the "Blue-Faced Beast", everyone will definitely think of Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi left the system of the Song Dynasty because he was not good at escorting the birthday gang. He knew that if he wanted to remain in the system of the Song Dynasty, he would definitely be severely punished. Later, Yang Zhi came to Liangshan. So how much is the value of these 100,000 birthdays so that Yang Zhi can't even want an official? But directly choose to force Liangshan?
First of all, let's explain what the natal order is. This birthday is generally a large family, and when it is a big birthday, others send a congratulatory gift. The value of 100,000 births is 100,000. How much was 100,000 copper coins worth in the Song Dynasty, and how much purchasing power did he have in the modern era? Today we will convert it. It was always equivalent to one or two at that time, so 100,000 was 100,000, that is, 100,000. At that time, rice was something that had to be consumed in that era, so it was more accurate to measure the purchasing power of one or two by the value of rice.
At that time, according to the records in the "History Books", a stone of rice required a consistent copper coin. And one or two can buy a stone of rice. According to the Song Dynasty, the unit of measurement was about 60 kilograms of rice today. It can be seen that one or two pieces of silver can buy 60 catties of rice, one hundred thousand taels. You can buy 6 million pounds of rice. Now the cheapest rice needs three yuan, that is calculated according to three dollars a pound of rice, then 100,000 birthdays are equivalent to the current number of 18 million. Even if the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, this number was not something that ordinary people could come up with.
At the same time, we can also learn from the "History Books" that Liang Zhongshu's corruption is very serious. Of course, rice in ancient times was not necessarily cheaper than it is now, after all, it is basically automated now. In ancient times, rice was all made by hand without any mechanized equipment. So the price of rice is definitely a little more expensive than it is now. Therefore, it is no wonder that after Yang Zhi lost the 100,000 Birthday Program, he did not even dare to do it directly. Hurry up and escape. If anyone loses 18 million, it's definitely a big deal, let alone in ancient times. Therefore, after Yang Zhi knew about this matter, he must have already known that this time he would be more fierce and less auspicious, so he chose to go to Liangshan.
