After Wusong Jingyang Gang killed the tiger, Zhixian rewarded him with 1,000 yuan, is this money much? How much is it now?
The "Three Dynasties Northern League" records that in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of gold was twenty for every two, and silver was five hundred yuan for every two. Based on this, it can be concluded that one or two golds are equal to twenty dollars, which is always five hundred yuan.
One thousand is equivalent to fifty-two pieces of gold and one thousand two pieces of silver.
Looking at the price of goods in "Water Margin", in the Zhi Robber Birthday Program, the Ruan brothers once bought twenty pounds of beef, two roast chickens, and a large altar of wine for one or two pieces of silver.
Converted, a thousand guan (one thousand two silver), you can buy tens of thousands of pounds of beef.
Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Pen Talk" also records that consistent money can buy a stone of rice, and one stone is about 59.2 kilograms. If you look at the current price of three yuan a pound of rice, a stone of rice is 355.2 yuan, and 1,000 yuan is more than 300,000 yuan.
It can be seen that this 1,000 guan was a large amount of money at that time, enough for Wu Song to build a house and marry his daughter-in-law, but Wu Song was a prodigal son, did not love money, and gave this thousand guan to the hunters.
It was precisely because he was loyal and benevolent, and Zhixian liked him, so he appointed him as the head of the capital.
