In the era of cold weapons, a divine weapon is tantamount to adding wings to the heroes of the world, and they who are already highly skilled in martial arts have the bonus of the divine weapon, which is even more unstoppable. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu's Fang Tian Painting Sword, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Cao Cao's Qingyi Sword and Yi Tian Sword are all divine soldiers of the time. Although there is little description of weapons in "Water Margin", it does not mean that the good men of Liangshan do not have good weapons. Everyone knows the story of Yang Zhi selling knives, it is his ancestral sword, but do you know how much his knife can be worth in modern times?
At that time, Yang Zhi was robbed because of his birthday, and Gao Taiwei drove him out of the Palace Shuai Mansion, and Yang Zhi, who had lost his job, not only was penniless, but also had to take out his ancestral sword and sell it for 3,000 yuan. 3,000 yuan was a sky-high price at that time, but Yang Zhi's knife was worth this price. Yang Zhi's knife not only cut copper and chopped iron, the blade was not rolled, and it was "blown", killing people without blood. Helplessly, the bully Niu pressed forward step by step, to see the killing without blood, and the result was a tragic death on the street.
Everyone knows that Niu Er can't come up with so much money at all, that is, he is a scoundrel who wants to see Yang Zhi's jokes and mess up his business by the way. However, the buyer Yang Zhi wants to wait for is a rich man like Lu Junyi, who also knows how to love knives, and only rich people like yuan can afford 3,000 yuan. During the Northern Song Dynasty, copper coins were circulating on the market, and silver was not in circulation in the market. And because the monetary value of the silver two dynasties was different, the currency price at that time was calculated by general equivalent exchange.
According to the "Chronicle of Food and Goods of the Song Dynasty" and the "General Guide to the Continuation of Zizhi", the "money law" of the Song Dynasty was very chaotic, not only copper coins, iron coins and lead and tin coins circulated at the same time, but each state also had the right to mint money on its own. In addition, there are also cases of private minting, and the size of money is different, the composition is inappropriate, and the value is changeable. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, each stone of rice was about the same money, according to the current price of rice 3 yuan per kilogram to calculate, the Song Dynasty a stone of rice 59.2 kilograms, about 180 yuan, that is, 1 copper coin is equal to 180 yuan.
However, 1 two gold is equal to 10 two silver, and the gold price benchmark is 460 yuan, so we have to make an average of the rice price benchmark of gold and the rice price benchmark of the consistent money, that is, 320 yuan. So at that time, the consistent money was equivalent to the current 320 yuan, and Yang Zhi's knife was called 3,000 yuan, that is, 960,000 yuan, which was a complete amount to buy a house in a second-tier city, and a knife could change the suite, and anyone who would secretly laugh in their hearts would smile and blossom.
Yang Zhi's weapons are ancestral and not his own skills, but Lu Zhishen's weapons can make him rich as soon as he changes hands. His water mill Zen staff was made of fine iron, and it cost a total of 5 taels of silver, that is, 5 pieces of money, equivalent to 1600 yuan, counting the sword. If he sold his Zen staff, he could sell it for at least 1,000 yuan, that is, 320,000 yuan, which was enough to buy a Tesla car. However, at that time, these 5 pieces of money were just a barrel of wine sold by Bai Sheng in Huangnigang.
