"Water Margin" in the different heroes, martial arts also have their own strengths, but on the fist and foot kung fu alone, Wu Song is definitely one of the best, because in "Water Margin" he killed a tiger with his bare hands (although he took a stick, but the stick did not come in handy, a stick was broken by a tree), when he was a prisoner on Shi En's side, the prisoner said that he had four or five hundred pounds of strength in his hands, which was worthy of the name.
The tigers on the Jingyang Gang, hiding in the forest, came out to hurt people when it was dark, which made the local big households uncomfortable. Because many large households have business activities from all over the world, and Jingyanggang, a traffic artery, hides a tiger that comes out at night to eat people, they can't recruit business buddies, even if they recruit one, the salary will be greatly increased. It is precisely for this reason that they collected their own money on the premise that the government has not been able to catch the tiger, and offered a reward of 1,000 yuan for catching the tiger.
Wu Song did not know this at all, he drank "three bowls of but not post" spirits, temperament, he was originally a very bold person, at this time drunk, the shop told him that there are tigers on the mountain, hoping to scare him, as a result he wanted to go to the mountain more. Drunk and running up the mountain, he found that there was really a tiger, but for the sake of the "good man", he did not want to go back, and it was at this time that he encountered the man-eating tiger.
It was also the art master who was bold, or drank wine, and his strength was superior, Wu Song punched down in a chaotic fist, and actually killed the tiger, at this time, yanggu county order on the one hand to appoint him as the head of the capital, considering that he was now an unemployed vagabond, but also wanted to mix with a public official to make his brother happy, Wu Song happily agreed. However, the county order also wanted to reward him with 1,000 yuan of money collected by the merchants, but Wu Song refused.
How much is 1,000 yuan equivalent to today? Is Wu Song refusing because it is too much or too little?
At that time, the Song Dynasty had such a conversion ratio, 1000 wen money is equal to 1 guan, 1 guan is equal to 1 two silver, then 1000 guan is 1000 two silver, which is a very large amount of money, think of the personal communication relationship in "Water Margin", rarely use 1000 two silver such a point.
In order to see Master Li, Song Jiang sent Li Mother a hundred and two gold, and ten silver was about equal to one or two gold, that is to say, Song Jiang went to see the song emperor's concubine, and only spent 1,000 silver, and Mother Li also thanked him and regarded him as a distinguished guest. Chai Jin in order to put an end to Lu Junyi's crime of writing anti-poetry, this is the big mouth of the Jiu clan, Chai Jin went to open the joints, and only ordered 100 taels of gold, that is, 1000 taels of silver, in a word, 1000 taels of silver You can almost do whatever you want in the Song Dynasty.
So how much do I convert 1,000 taels of silver according to purchasing power today? Because grain is a necessary item in all dynasties and dynasties, so we take the price of rice as the standard, and now the price of one kilogram of rice is about 10 yuan, compared with 1 kilogram of rice in ancient times, we can speculate about the purchasing power of 1,000 taels of silver in modern times.
The Song Dynasty's "Mengxi Pen Talk" records that "all stone people take ninety-two and a half pounds as the law", that is, 92.5 pounds is a stone, considering that the "one pound" at that time was the current 5 two, so it is 59.2 pounds for one stone. How much does 1 stone of rice cost? This is different in different eras of the Song Dynasty, the cheapest time is 1 stone rice 100 yuan, that is, 1 kg of rice only needs 1.7 yuan, 1.7 yuan is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 yuan now, then the Song Dynasty 1 yuan is equivalent to the current 5.8 yuan, 1 two silver 1000 yuan, equivalent to 5800 yuan, 1000 yuan is equivalent to 5.8 million.
5.8 million yuan is enough for us to live a happy life for several lifetimes now.
If you calculate according to the general Price of Rice in the Song Dynasty, 1 stone of rice needs 1 yuan, that is, 1 pound of rice 16.9 yuan, in other words, 1,000 two silver is about equal to 580,000 now, which is also a considerable wealth, an ordinary person can accumulate more than half a million yuan in a lifetime (outside of going out to buy a house), it is also quite powerful.
All in all, if Wu Song accepts 1,000 yuan of money, he will not have to struggle in this life. But Wu Song, an ambitious man, rejected the huge sum and persuaded the county order to give the money to hunters who had been reprimanded for not catching tigers, saying:
"The little man entrusted himself with the blessings of xianggong, and by chance, he killed this big worm, and how dare he be rewarded for not being a villain? The little man heard that these hunters had been punished by this big worm, so why didn't they scatter this thousand and use it with everyone? ”
It can be seen from this that Wu Song really does not love money, and is worthy of being a good man!
