The bartender opened his mouth wide, but it didn't close properly. After eating, he said, "These eight dishes cost a lot of money. Duck feet and chicken tongue soup alone need dozens of chickens and ducks. " The boy pointed to Guo Jing and said, "This uncle is the host. Do you think he can't afford it? " The shop assistant saw that a mink on Guo Jing was very precious, and thought it would be enough to peel it off even if you didn't pay the bill. Now he agreed and asked, "Is that enough?" The boy said, "Twelve kinds of dishes and eight kinds of snacks are enough for dinner." I'll check out later. Yes 1927 yuan and four cents. Guo Jing took out an ingot of gold and told the bartender to pay the bill at the silver shop.
A meal here is "1927 four cents" silver. Many authors have written about how much RMB is converted into before, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was either "gold price" or "silver price". As everyone knows, there is still a lot of common sense that has not been taken into account, and it is not that simple.
Of course, the most important thing is that the background of the legend of the condor heroes is actually after Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, that is, after Genghis Khan called "Khan", that is, after the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1206), "Kathy" is the year number of Ningzong in the Southern Song Dynasty, which corresponds to the sixth year of Jin Zhangzong Taihe.
It is mentioned in the original work that Guo Jing married the princess a few days after Temujin called him Genghis Khan. His mother considered the possibility of marriage between Guo and Yang, and asked Guo Jing to go south with the six masters. He and Huang Rong met in Zhangjiakou, and their feast was also the "Changqing Building, the largest restaurant in Zhangjiakou" led by Huang Rong.
In the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, the second gate was opened under the side wall of Dajingkou in Zhangjiakou, with Dajingmen in the west.
However, it should be noted that the city of Zhangjiakou did not appear in the real historical plane. It was not until the fourth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1429) that Zhang Wencai began to build a castle, named it "Zhangjiabao" and called it Xiabao. In the eighth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1529), garrison Zhang Zhenkai built the small north gate of Xiabao, commonly known as "Zhangjiakou". It is precisely because of the Ming-Mongolian trade along the Great Wall that the prosperity of Zhangjiakou was brought. Before that, there was no such city and no name.
Of course, this is just a section. Martial arts novels are not history books after all, so we only talk about knowledge after the plot.
It happened in Zhangjiakou, which is a certain territory of the State of Jin, not the Southern Song Dynasty. It is reasonable to discuss the price of silver in the rulers, but unfortunately, Mr. Jin Yong has made another mistake here, that is, at least at this time, the rulers will not allow you to pay with the silver of "Nineteen Liang".
The reason is that there were two kinds of legal tender in circulation in the Jin Dynasty: one was copper coins (mainly in the Song Dynasty, both in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty); First, paper money, like the kind of gold and silver that we often measure by weight in TV plays, cannot be used as money, but is just a precious metal.
However, just a few years before Guo Jing and Huang Rong met, this situation changed. From the second year to the fifth year of Cheng 'an in Jin Zhangzong (1 197- 1200), in order to solve the problem of credit collapse of large banknotes, special-shaped silver coins-Cheng 'an Baohuo were changed.

This is also the first time in the history of China to issue "silver fiat". Moreover, although the goods in Cheng 'anbao are converted from silver ingots, they are no longer "called silver goods" but "regulate the circulation of coins" (similar to "silver dollars").
Cheng 'anbao goods are divided into five classes (the third class is first-class and a half, second-class and a half, and fifth-class and second-class), and the first-class and second-class are legally exchanged for copper coins, which are used as large coins when paper money is devalued and copper coins are seriously scarce, in order to save the huge "money shortage" of the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty.
There is also a little knowledge here, that is, "consistent" is the unit of copper coins, which should be 1000 pieces by rights. However, under the copper coin system in the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a proper term called "saving money", which was also called "short money" or "short money"
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the common "saving money" was 750 pieces or 770 pieces as "consistency", while the official price in the Jin Dynasty was 800 pieces as "consistency", that is to say, the actual amount of copper coins converted into Anbao goods should be 1600 pieces.
During the short period when Cheng Anbao's goods are used, it is forbidden for rulers to "weigh silver goods" and trade them in the market, and it is even more forbidden to melt and cast silver or damage silver coins at will. So even if Guo Jing and Huang Rong dare to pay so much money to buy a real historical plane, the store will not accept it.
So it still depends on the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, it is best to use grain as a tool for intermediate pricing, otherwise it is impossible to judge the purchasing power of different times.
Silver in the Southern Song Dynasty has the same shape as the silver collar in the Jin Dynasty.
The price of silver in the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively stable. Before the first year of Shaoding (1228), the amount of silver in 1 was mostly 300 Wen.
In the first year of Gongdi Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1275), the price of silver was 85 liang per 2 14 and 7360 liang per 2 14.
Look at the rice price again:
In the 16th year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1223), there were rice and stones, and each stonemason had three poems and 750 articles. In the first year of Gongdi Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, wheat was beaten 730 times per stone. That is to say, in the period of Ningzong and Lizong in the Southern Song Dynasty, silver was 1 liang, or about 1 stone (in fact, silver was more popular than paper money), that is to say, 1 liang of silver was enough to buy 1 stone, or about 143.23.
At the end of Southern Song Dynasty, silver 1 Liang, wheat 3.8297 stone, 548.55 Jin. JD.COM wheat flour 3.7 yuan/kg, namely 2029.64 yuan, 1 gram of silver 54.45438+042 yuan.
Specific to the era of legend of the condor heroes, that is, the cost of a meal is "1927 money and four cents" = 19.74 two *687.504 RMB = 1357 1.32 RMB.
In other words, the per capita income is 6,785.66 yuan, which is enough for Huang Rong.
