This is a wooden box made of black camphor wood, which is quietly placed on the table.

The warm yellow color is softer under the oil lamp and is not conspicuous at all. There is no carving on the surface of the box, but it maintains the natural wood grain, and you can see a few wood scars.

The appearance of this box is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary, but the things contained in this box are not ordinary at all.

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu were standing next to the box with their hands together. The smiles on the faces of the three of them could not be concealed.

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Dalang, why not open it and see it?"

Wu Haogu stared at the camphor wood box, then stepped forward for a moment, opened the lock, and opened the box.

It was piled with salt tea tied into stacks of red ribbons!

The currency of the Song Dynasty was mainly made of copper, and silver could also be circulated. However, copper and silver were too heavy and troublesome for Kaifeng Mansion calligraphy and painting stores with transaction amounts of thousands or tens of thousands of pieces. Therefore, the large-scale transactions of Kaifeng Mansion calligraphy and painting stores were mostly made of salt and tea, and usually the transfer of ten pieces of face value was converted into copper coins according to the conversion of seven or eight pieces into copper coins.

"There are 6,666 pictures in total, all of which are worth ten, and have been checked.

Dalang, you're rich now! You're rich!"

Even Guo Jing, who had seen the world, was a little trembling when he spoke. Six thousand,6660 scattered pieces, which was exactly 50,000 scattered pieces. According to the proportion of the spoils in calligraphy and painting, 3,333 of them were transferred to Wu Haogu, and the rest were divided equally by Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu. Each person could get 1,111 scattered pieces, equivalent to 8,340 scattered pieces.

This huge sum of money was enough to get Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu to get rid of poverty overnight. They bought a large farm outside the Kaifeng Prefecture City, Tokyo, Northern Song Dynasty, where every inch of land was valuable, and they lived a corrupt life of the landlord class from then on.

If it is in the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture, 83,400 cranes are enough to buy a very good house. The housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture are as expensive as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in later generations. It costs 8,900 cranes to buy an ordinary house, and a little better one will cost tens of thousands of cranes.

The wages (wage income) of ordinary working people in Kaifeng Prefecture City usually range from two to five pieces per month. If you count too much, it will only cost 60 pieces a year, and you have to not eat or drink for 150 years to afford a property!

So for Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu, buying a house in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo was an unrealistic dream.

But now, just a deal of fake calligraphy and paintings made the three of them reach the top in one go, becoming a clan with the ability to buy a house in Kaifeng Prefecture.

And you can also have a house without a loan!

Wu Haogu looked at the three brothers who were about to bloom on their faces in front of him, and laughed: "I'm indeed rich, but we can't spend these revelations for the time being.

Today in the Su family shop, Da Diao Yan and Chen Youwen, named Liu, were probably already suspicious. If you go back and think about it, you will know that something is strange.

So they will definitely look around for us... If we can get these tips out immediately, they will not be able to escape their eyes."

This is the inconvenience of settlement with transfer. Transfer in Kaifeng Prefecture is equivalent to a large-scale notes guaranteed by salt and tea. It is a payment tool for settlement between "banks" and large-scale transactions.

Moreover, for each large-scale transaction using the exchange, the Jieshen Lane will usually have the "Gold, Silver, and Silk Exchange Store" participating and provide "market-making" services. The exchange prices of Jieshen Lane and copper coins are controlled by Jieshen Lane. They are generally negotiated by the leaders of Jieshen Lane (the head of the industry) to reach a unified buying and selling price. Usually, the selling price will be about 5% higher than the buying price. This is an important source of profit for Jieshen Lane.

The relationship between Jiesin Lane and Panlou Street is too close. If Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen were deliberately asking, I am afraid that Wu Haogu and others would find out if they use a lot of contact in their hands.

Then there will be a huge disaster!

Therefore, the 6,666 entries obtained by Wu Haogu and others this time and the more than 1,000 entries obtained by selling copies before are now difficult to cash in on safely.

"What should I do?"

"They have to keep watching, so that they can spend it when the exchange is finally in full?"

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were both a little anxious. Guo Jing was an ordinary person, and Liu Wuji was a fake Taoist priest. They both wanted to save money to buy a house and marry a wife to live.

Monk Fu was not in a hurry, just laughed and didn't say anything.

"There is a way," Wu Haogu smiled. "Just just 'wash' these things, they can be turned into copper coins and silver coins."

The exchange is eye-catching and has a deadline. If it expires, it can only be exchanged for a new exchange, so it cannot be kept in your hands for a long time. However, copper coins and silver selves are different. They can be circulated everywhere and cannot be traced at all.

"wash?"

"How to wash it?"

Neither Guo Jing nor Liu Wuji have the concept of money laundering, so this question is.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dalang, I have some ways to turn the intersection into brass and silver.

But today, I will still put my hand in hand and go to the pork yard to get drunk before I can stop!"

"Okay! I'll stop drunk!"

"So go to the pork yard!"

"Go to have a drink together."

Wu Dalang showed great skills this time, and all the brothers who followed him made money. Naturally, everyone was led by him. He wanted to drink, and Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu all went with him.

...

On the banks of the Jinshui River, Liu Youfang’s mansion.

On the beautiful Wuhua Pavilion, Liu Youfang, who looked depressed, was sitting on a rose chair, holding the "original" of "Drunk Arhat Picture" in his hand and was watching it carefully. The more he looked, his brows became tighter and tighter. Later, he shook his head gently.

"Dad, this painting..."

Liu Ai stood behind her adoptive father, looking at the painting, but she didn't see anything wrong.

"This painting...is almost exactly the same as the copy I saw before."

Liu Youfang said lightly, with a little doubt in his tone.

Liu Ai said: "The copy is naturally the same as the original one... If it comes from a master, it can be completely indistinguishable from the real one."

"Yes," Liu Youfang nodded, "It can be completely indistinguishable from the truth... It's really so hard that even a father can't tell the original and copy."

In fact, the painting in Liu Youfang's hand is also a copy!

The real one was originally painted on a familiar picture, but now it is still hidden in the monk's room rented by Wu Haogu in Daxiangguo Temple.

Because all the copies were originally written by one person, it is naturally difficult to distinguish them.

Liu Youfang shook his head again, "I copied it so well. Son, you have copied it myself. Do you think this painting is easy to copy?"

"It's not easy." Liu Ai shook his head, "It's very difficult to copy. The upper body of the arhat on this painting cannot be copied. It can be copied, but..."

"But I don't copy well?" Liu Youfang asked.

"Dad is right, but the child is not good at imitating it. You need to try it a few more times." Liu Ai looked at his adoptive father, "Dad, you doubt..."

"No doubt, I don't doubt," Liu Youfang gently rolled up the original scroll of "Drunk Arhat Picture". "What are you still suspicious about the things you bought for 50,000 yuan? Look for an opportunity and send the picture to King Duan."

"Would you like to stare at Jieshi Lane?"

Liu Youfang snorted: "I have to stare at it... I want to see, which Western Army observes this "Drunk Arhat Picture" that I can't afford to offend?"

He didn't really doubt the authenticity of "The Drunken Arhat Picture" and didn't want to go into it. But he knew that someone was setting up a plan for today's singing and selling... The person who bids with Chen Youwen was probably a gullor!

It was really a bit of a slap in the face of Guishizi playing with a character like Liu Youfang in the East Cross Street of Kaifeng Prefecture.

No matter how good Liu Youfang has a good temper, it is difficult to swallow his anger.

"Okay, my boy will let you keep a tight eye on it."

"There are also the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Pictures" that you must get into your hands as soon as possible." Liu Youfang glanced at his adopted son, "Your Highness Duan probably knows that the painting of Wanshou Temple is a copybook. With his personality, he will definitely be sure to get the original... If this matter is done, you will not have to worry about this in your life, do you know?"

Liu Ai was stunned, "In this life, is it the official family..."
