No matter what era it is, money has never changed.

Once upon a time, our wealth was not money, but what we had, and this was the era of barter.

Later, it was discovered that a type of shell was very beautiful, sturdy and easy to carry, and many people liked it, so the shell became a symbol of wealth.

But there weren't so many shells, so pearls, gold, silver, copper, and a whole host of other things were born, which could be symbols of wealth.

Tang Ning looked at the boxes on the ground and sighed very emotionally, there were not many gold ingots, but more silver ingots and copper coins.

The copper coins alone accounted for a full four boxes.

The consistent money of the Northern Song Dynasty has shrunk to a great extent as before. One thousand yuan is consistent, and in the Song Dynasty, seven or eight hundred yuan may be consistent.

Although it is less than 200 dollars, it is still dizzy to watch.

The ancients said that the waist is full of money, and it is estimated that it is the current Tangning.

Every morning, Tang Ning has to go out to buy some fresh ingredients, maybe cucumbers that can be eaten as snacks, or things like Chinese cabbage and small cabbage.

The flavor of the dish is obscured by the aroma of sesame seeds, and when you eat, it is no different from eating fried sesame seeds.

So Tang Ning bought a lot of soybean (Yinshu), that is, soybeans, and went home, ready to get some soybean oil by himself.

It was a very hard thing to do, because Downing forgot a lot of steps. He only remembered to boil first, then steam, and let the beans get enzymated, and then he couldn't remember it clearly, which required him to grope slowly.

So in addition to reading, Tang Ning found a good way to pass the time, which was much better than him being so lonely that he squatted at the base of the wall and listened to Shen Kuo's quarrel with their family.

In addition, Tang Ning also bought rice and came back to prepare homemade liquor.

After all, it is not a good way to sit and eat, and you have to find a way to get rich.

There was nothing wrong with the Song Dynasty making wine privately, but it would be a crime to sell it. The reason why a private restaurant like Sun Yangzhengdian can sell its own private liquor is mainly because of the word Zhengdian, which means that this is a luxury restaurant that has won the trust of the government and has a liquor license.

Tokyo Bianliang 72 main store, most of them are like this.

Busy making oil and wine, it is easy to forget to cook and eat, so on a sunny afternoon, Tang Ning was dragged by Wang Zhi to get some servants to go home.

Wang Zhi felt that after such a long time, Tang Ning's anger might have subsided, so he came to visit this little talent, hoping that he would not forget himself.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Ning throwing things and losing his temper, looking at the soybeans all over the ground, Wang Zhi was heartbroken, pointed his finger at Tang Ning and said tremblingly, You can't spoil food even if you are angry!

The clean house that had just been cleaned not long ago was a desolate scene again, Wang Zhi really couldn't stand it, so he pulled Tang Ning and prepared to take Tang Ning to buy some people to go home.

"I still have the remnants of the good and cheap system?"

"What is the degree of goodness?"

Tang Ning patted his head, he had read the information before, saying that it was in the Song Dynasty. Trading and slave scumbags. The trade is already dead. It has just turned a corner, and during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were still remnants of this kind of transaction, and it had not completely dissipated.

When Tang Ning saw this information, the pride in his chest overflowed.

De-slavery occupies a very important place in the historical course of a civilization. The United States ended slavery with a war, while the Song Dynasty relied on the spontaneous evolution of civilization to bid farewell to the slave and slave system.

It is a pity that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the slave and maid system did not die out in the long river of Chinese history, even if this system disappeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was interrupted in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even returned......

"Forget it, just find a cook to cook for me." Tang Ning waved his hand with some interest: "I'm very busy these days, and I always think of cooking when I am hungry until my stomach hurts." ”

"Oh, my good brother, there is also a person who has entered the house three times, and there is not even a servant at home, how cold!"

"How can I get past you, buy your big house, and I have to fill it with people? What's wrong with me that I like to live a quiet life? ”

Tang Ning's eyes were crossed, and his neck was stalked, and he said confidently.

It seems that he was not the one who squatted at the base of the wall yesterday and listened to the quarrel of Shen Kuo's house.

"Brother, I have good intentions, and when it comes to you, it seems to be hurting you, how can there be such a reason?

Okay, okay, I don't care how you want to live your life. For the sake of you saving my life, I'll do what you tell me, okay?

It's just that the cost of the cook is a bit high......"

Tang Ning shook the money bag full of silver taels around his waist, grinned and said, "Lao Tzu is rich!" ”

Met the nouveau riche, what else does this say?

Wang Zhi gave Tang Ning a thumbs up, and pulled Tang Ning into the carriage without saying a word.

Tang Ning's home is in the east of the city, and the tooth shop where Wang Zhi wants to take Tang Ning is in the west of the city. So when this carriage that could turn people upside down arrived at the place, Tangning had a sore back and a sore buttocks.

If it weren't for Wang Zhi going back home and changing his clothes, so that Tang Ning could breathe a sigh of relief, I'm afraid Tang Ning would have died halfway through.

There were a lot of people in the west of the city, and Downing could hear the noise while sitting in the car. This voice was no less than the sound of those laborers who he heard at the gate of Runzhou City at the beginning, so when Tang Ning was helped out of the carriage by Wang Zhi, it was not surprising that he saw a lot of people.

There are few places where these people's clothes are not patched, and they are all disheveled, and they look very sloppy, and there is a strange smell in the air.

Tangning sniffled and sighed.

As long as there is a need, when has human trafficking ever stopped? It's just that these things that are put on the table are definitely obtained by the tooth man through legitimate means.

Those who are trafficked will never appear in this place.

The Nanshan thieves are not far from the edge of Runzhou City, and they have plagued this place for more than ten years. Because of the Nanshan thieves, their wives were separated, and their families were ruined......

The women who were rescued from Nanshan half a month ago will be sent back to the place of household registration as soon as they can find out their household registration, and most of those who can't be found out are here......

Look at the predominance of women in this place, and you will know.

Tang Ning pursed his lips silently, although the Nanshan Bandit has been eradicated, the influence he left behind has still not completely subsided. The government is cowardly, and it can only be these poor people who are pitted, and such things are not only in Runzhou, but also in all parts of the Great Song Dynasty......

The tooth man who was missing a front tooth ran over like a gust of wind, arched his hand to Wang Zhi, and said flatteringly: "This official, what do you need?" ”

Wang Zhi went home to change this dress so that the tooth man could know his identity, although he was not wearing an official robe, but he was dressed brightly, with a pair of official boots under his feet, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, a fool could see that this was an official.

Wang Zhi didn't pay attention to the tooth man, but said to Tang Ning: "You really don't want servants, just cooks?" I mean, if you look at this place, there's a lot of work that can be done.

Did you see that guy? Hey, this one looks like a capable ...... Look at that one over there, it's not a good person at first glance......"

"Official, that's the villain's younger brother......"

"Oh, sorry ......"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I just need a cook who can cook for me." Laundry and cleaning or something, I'm used to doing it myself. ”

Wang Zhi sighed, but his eyes rolled. beckoned the tooth man to say a few words in his ear, and after the tooth man heard it, his face looked a little embarrassed.

So Wang Zhi took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and slapped it on the hand of the tooth man, and the tooth man immediately smiled and said, "Please follow me, two of you." ”

After that, he bowed down and invited Tang Ning and Wang Zhi to go along.

Tang Ning didn't move, and Wang Zhi didn't move, which made the tooth man surprised by Tang Ning's identity.

An official like Wang Zhi who has a generous hand is generally a family that is either rich or expensive.

Runzhou City is not a big place, and they don't need to look at other people's faces. Especially such a teenager, when did there become such a number one person in Runzhou City? But I don't know who his family is?

The tooth man pondered as he walked forward, no wonder the official wanted to take out the 'hidden goods' by himself, it turned out that he wanted to curry favor with this young man......
