    Fang Jinshi was still thinking about Di Qing, the original owner of the house. Deng An beside him asked Xiao Yongming: "Master Xiao, how much money does it cost for such a big place here?"

    Xiao Yongming said: "If Young Master Fang likes this place, he can just move here and live there without asking for any money." Deng An said: "Has Young Master Xiao already bought this place?" Xiao Yongming said: "I haven't paid yet.  But the price has been decided, all we have to do is wait for Mr. Fang¡¯s nod.¡±

    Fang Jinshi shook his head and said: "You won't tell me the price, how can I agree? I'm afraid I really can't afford it."

    Xiao Yongming said sternly: "Young Master Fang saved my whole family before. He was a great kindness and kindness. I will always remember it in my heart. I never thought of a way to express it. Xiao bought this place and gave it to Young Master Fang. I expressed my sincere gratitude and hope to accept it."  "

    Fang Jinshi didn't expect that Xiao Yongming would give him a big house. Although Fang Jinshi had saved him, and although he didn't consider himself a noble and upright person, let alone a pedantic person, he still wanted to give such a gift to a person who had fled because of the country's subjugation.  Fang Jinshi was still a little uneasy about such a generous gift. He turned back to Xiao Yongming and said, "That's it, that's fine. Can you wait for me to go back and think about it for two days before making a decision?"

    He thought about delaying it for a few days, but Xiao Yongming said with a bitter face: "If Mr. Fang is interested, it is best to make a decision today, so that I can feel more at ease."

    Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "Are you so afraid that I won't accept your gift?"

    Xiao Yongming said awkwardly: "No, it's just that if the house is delayed by one day, it will cost dozens of dollars more. It's a pity."

    Fang Jinshi was slightly surprised and said: "The price has increased so fast?"

    Xiao Yongming said: "It's not that the price of land has increased, it's that the price of money has dropped sharply." Fang Jinshi asked strangely: "How can the price of money fall?"

    Xiao Yongming said: "Actually, this house was bought by a friend of mine a few years ago. He happened to owe me a sum of money, so he appraised the house to cover my debt." Fang Jinshi said: "So what?  "

    Xiao Yongming said: "There is a joint here, that is, the amount of money estimated in the appraisal is Song money. When this friend of mine owed me money, he was in Roufu County, Liao State, and it was Liao money."

    Fang Jinshi still didn¡¯t understand, and said blankly: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just exchange it with the market price.¡±

    Xiao Yongming said: "The price of Song money is real, but the price of Liao money is empty. Originally, the Song money of seven to eight hundred coins was exchanged for the Liao money of one thousand coins, which has been an advantage. Now that the Liao Kingdom is about to fall, the Liao money has plummeted even more. What I brought  The actual value of the money from Liao is now less than half of what it was last year.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Yes, who is willing to save Liao coins now? The recasting of new dynasty coins will soon be abolished."

    Xiao Yongming said: "That's it. My friend owed me money to buy this place yesterday, and he still had to pay me to make up for it. Today it's the same, but tomorrow I may have to make up money for him."

    After listening to Xiao Yongming's words, Fang Jinshi understood that this would be the issue of international currency exchange rates and currency devaluation in later generations. The strength of Song money was due to the strong economic backing of the Song Dynasty and the influence of neighboring dynasties on the economically developed society of the Song Dynasty.  Stable confidence.  The rapid depreciation of Liao money was the precarious national destiny of Liao and its devastating economic collapse.

    It's just that despite the severe depreciation of Liao money, even if the people of the Song Dynasty, including the officials, were clearly aware that the Liao Kingdom was about to fall, they were still willing to accept Liao money. The first reason is that Liao money could not depreciate and become waste paper like the paper currencies of later generations. Liao money was copper after all.  When cast, the metal itself has value and can be recast. The purity of Liao copper coins is much higher than that of Song coins mixed with lead, so copper coins cannot depreciate forever.

    When dynasties change, it is imperative to recast copper coins. Just for the sake of social stability and smooth transition, there will generally be a parallel period for old coins and new coins. The length of this time depends on the new dynasty's coin minting capabilities and the intensity of promoting new coins. After all, gold and silver  It cannot replace the status of copper coins.
