I have a backstage in Datang

"It's quite a lot, there are seven hundred guan in total. In the battle of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, the military rewards are appalling. As long as you kill a Goguryeo soldier, you can get a reward of ten guan. The boy is indomitable on the battlefield. Beheaded more than 100 people, counted military achievements afterwards, and was rewarded with more than [-] guan, the boy kept [-] guan, took out [-] guan and donated it..."

"Donated it?"

"Yes mother, the boy donated three hundred guan."

Under the vast sunlight, Bao Feng stood at the door with his hands behind his back. His face showed a touch of sadness, and he explained softly to his mother, saying: "During this war, some soldiers died in battle. But after all, Hai'er was with them, especially when he heard that there were old and young in the families of those soldiers, Hai'er felt even more uncomfortable, so he donated [-] guan."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Mother Bao sighed softly.

After a long time passed, she spoke softly and comforted her son, "Feng'er, don't be too sad, it has been like this since ancient times, as long as there is a war, someone will die..."

She didn't want to continue this topic, so as not to make her son feel uncomfortable, so she deliberately put on a puzzled face, raised her finger to the bag containing the money, and asked, "Feng'er, you just said that the money is seven hundred guan, the amount is like No, seven hundred guan is a lot of money."

It has to be said that the old lady's way of changing the topic is very good, and her confusion is not all a disguise.

The bag of money in front of him does not seem to be enough for seven hundred guan.

Copper coins are used in this era, and the value of a copper coin is one penny. If you string 1000 Wen coins together, it will become the well-known consistent money.

The material of the money is copper, and the weight of a copper coin is exactly one qian.Ten Wen coins are one tael, and one thousand coins are 100 taels. Since the catty taels in this era are hexadecimal, the weight of the traditional money is about six catties and four taels. .

Yiguan money weighs six catties and four liang. It is a very large string, and it is also a very heavy string.

Bao Feng said that the military salary he left behind was 4000 guan, which should be at least [-] catties.

In ancient times, [-] guan coins had to be pulled by an ox cart, and [-] guan coins had to be filled with at least two carts, which was a lot of money.

However, there is only a small pocket of money in front of him, but Bao Feng said that the amount is [-] guan, no wonder the old lady is confused, because this situation is too unrealistic.

……

Bao Feng laughed, and a group of soldiers standing in the chai courtyard also laughed.

Someone winked into the room and explained with a smile: "Madam, you don't understand this. Don't look at the money pocket, but it really contains seven hundred coins."

Bao Feng walked back to the house with a smile, untied the small pocket, reached out and took out a coin from the pocket, handed it to his mother and said, "Mother, take a look, this is new money, it's different from before."

The old lady Bao watched carefully, and soon saw the difference, and said in surprise: "This money is so thick, it weighs heavily on your hand."

Bao Feng stood aside and continued to smile, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Then take a closer look, what is the difference in the wording of this money?"

The old woman hesitated slightly, and walked to the door holding the coins.

Her eyes were a little dim, and she had to be in a bright place to see things clearly. She lifted the coin and observed it carefully against the sun, only to find that the words on the copper coin were indeed different, with the words 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' written on it. .

"Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

The old man turned his head to look at Bao Feng, and said in a vague way: "Feng'er, mother seems to understand that this is new money, and it is the new money that everyone is talking about these days."

Talking and laughing, he said again: "No wonder my mother feels strange looking at it. It turns out that the money is different from the previous one..."

"Yes mother, this is new money."

Bao Feng stood at the door with a smile, and suddenly pretended to be mysterious again, and said: "Mother, you only looked at the front of the money, and saw the word Kaiyuan Tongbao, but you forgot to look at the back. The words on the back are eloquent." valuable."

"Really?" The old lady became curious, and quickly turned over the copper coin to look at it, only to find that there was also a font on the back, with the words 'Youyun Gu' written impressively.

And in addition to the four characters of "Youyun Gu's", there are also two small characters of "Dang Shi" marked on it. The old lady became confused and couldn't help but look at her son.

Bao Feng reached out to take the copper coin, and explained to his mother in a gentle voice, "Mother, this coin is called Kaiyuan Dangshi. It has the words 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' cast on its front, which means that it is the official coin of our Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. As for The words 'Youyun Gu' cast on the back indicate that it was cast by the Gu family of Youzhou..."

He paused while talking, and then said: "As for the additional word 'Dang Shi', it is easy to understand from the literal meaning, this is a coin worth ten coins, and its value is ten ordinary coins. Money, that is to say, it represents ten Wen."

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "One coin counts as ten coins?"

Bao Feng smiled and nodded, "This is Mr. Gu's original creation."

However, the old lady frowned, and said in a worried voice: "Since ancient times, copper coins have been worth one penny. But now, with this new coin, one coin is used as ten pennies. Fenger, this seems to be deceiving people."

"Hahahaha!"

Bao Feng laughed loudly, and the group of soldiers in the yard also laughed.

Someone giggled and leaned forward, winked to please the old lady, and said: "If you think this money is not good, you might as well give it to the villain. We have been coveting this kind of coin for a long time, but it is a pity that General Bao has been unwilling to give it. "

Bao Feng lifted his foot and kicked him lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, how dare you fool my mother. Get out and stay here."

The soldier walked away laughing and laughing, and stood not far away to continue playing tricks.

This is because the old lady has already noticed that the copper coin in front of her must be special. Sure enough, her son smiled and explained to her carefully: "Mother, this money is not a scam. On the contrary, many people want to grab this money." .In this Liaodong War, our Great Tang swept Goguryeo. Millions of troops fought all the way, and finally captured their capital..."

He paused for a while, and then said: "When we took down the imperial city of Goguryeo, the soldiers smashed the treasure house of the Gao family, not only captured countless rare treasures, but also captured the treasures of the Goguryeo royal family. The gold and silver accumulated through the ages."

The old lady interrupted abruptly, and said in a terrified voice: "Feng'er, you can't reach out your hands about these things. Although these things are gains from the war, they should not be the private property of the soldiers. From ancient times to the present. There has never been a saying that the victory of a battle belongs to the individual, this is the bottom line, and it must not be touched."

Bao Feng laughed loudly, and comforted his mother, "Don't worry, my son didn't touch it. We handed over all the gold and silver. They were all used to make new coins, such as the ten coins you saw just now."

As he spoke, he raised the coin again, held it up to his mother for the old man to watch, and continued to explain: "The reason why this Dang Ten can be used as ten coins is because it was minted with gold, so its value exceeds that of copper coins." , cannot be measured with ordinary copper coins..."

The old lady nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's the case, so there is gold in it."

She said she remembered something, looked at the soldiers in the yard, and said subconsciously: "Just now, mother saw everyone's eagerness, and seemed to be eager for such a coin. Feng'er, tell mother, is it this kind of coin?" Very rare?"

"It's really rare!" Bao Feng nodded, and said with a smile: "Not only does it contain gold, but it also belongs to the first batch of primary castings. Because the boy captured the flag during the war and was attacking the Goguryeo imperial city When I was the first to climb the city wall, I made such great military exploits that I was qualified to have this kind of money, otherwise if it was an ordinary soldier, what they could get was ordinary money..."

At this time, a soldier came over, salivating to please the old lady, and said: "Your old man hastened to give an order to ask General Bao to bring out a few more coins, so that we can feast our eyes and see the more precious money. "

The old lady was slightly taken aback, and said subconsciously: "Is there more precious money?"

"Of course!"

The soldier was full of expectation, pointed to the money bag in the room, and said: "Such a small money bag, even if it is full of pawn money, it is still less than seven hundred guan. The reason why there are seven hundred guan in it The money is because part of it is silver coins, and there are even ten gold coins. Gold coins, old lady, those are the founding gold coins specially made by You Yun Gu..."

"Founding gold coin?"

The old lady was completely aroused curiosity.

Bao Feng turned around and walked into the room, and directly took out all the money in the bag. He looked at the soldiers present and scolded with a smile: "I already knew that you guys have been looking forward to it, okay, let me let you go today." Everyone open your eyes."

There was a jingling sound, and he poured all the coins on the ground, then bent down, picked up a coin, and said with a smile, "Oh, this is a ten..."

Picking up another one casually, he continued to laugh and said, "Oh, it turns out that one is worth ten..."

When he was about to pick up the money for the third time, the soldiers finally couldn't hold back, but saw seven or eight people rushing over, picked up a shiny silver coin from the ground, and said excitedly: "This is Silver coins, this is the legendary Li Datou..."

Mrs. Bao watched from the side with a smile, and she was very pleased with the friendship between her son and his comrades. At the same time, she was also very curious, and couldn't help asking: "What is Li Datou?"

It's okay if you don't ask this question, but when you ask, the audience suddenly becomes silent.

Both Bao Feng and the soldiers all looked a little embarrassed.

After a long time, the soldier finally opened his mouth and explained: "Madam, this is what we said nonsense. You must not keep it in your heart, let alone say it in the future, because, because..."

The soldiers faltered and didn't know how to go on.

Fortunately, Bao Feng was present, and after taking his words, he explained: "Mother, he was worried that you would break the taboo. The coin just now was a new coin made of pure silver. This silver coin was minted using a special Craftsmanship, with the portrait of His Majesty engraved on it for identification, it is said that Mr. Gu’s bad taste made it so, he printed the emperor’s portrait in a particularly large size..."

Bao Feng paused while talking, and continued: "Because the emperor's surname is Li, people will subconsciously think of the title Li Datou. Gradually, everyone calls it that way, and when they mention this kind of silver coin, they call it Li Datou."

The old lady Bao was slightly stunned, with a hint of worry on her face, and said: "The emperor is the son of heaven, how can he tease him like this. Will this, this, this be investigated and punished..."

Seeing that his mother was terrified, Bao Feng quickly comforted him, saying: "You don't have to be afraid of this matter. It is said that His Majesty is not angry because of this. On the contrary, he seems to be very happy with this title. According to some gossip, His Majesty heard Li When he was called the big head, he once laughed and told people that throughout the ages, no emperor’s appearance has ever been added to a coin, but now I, Li Shimin, can create this precedent. A person lives for a lifetime, at most sixty or seventy, but coins are handed down. Hundreds of generations, tens of thousands of years later, it may still be there, which means that my appearance will also be there, hahahaha, Li Datou is Li Datou, I think this name is very wonderful, if the common people like it, they can call it whatever they want I am Li Datou."

Old Madam Bao was relieved, and said with admiration: "Hearing what Feng'er said, our Majesty is as broad-minded as an ocean. No wonder he can surpass the former Crown Prince of the East Palace as the second son."

These words startled everyone present.

Bao Feng hurriedly said: "Mother, today is different. Although the child was born as a guard of the Eastern Palace, he once swore to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of his life, but this time in the battle of Liaodong, Mr. Gu used tricks to resolve all the estrangement. Now in the entire Tang army, there is no longer any division between the factions led by Tiance Mansion and Prince Wei, there is only camaraderie."

Mrs. Bao was extremely shocked, and subconsciously said: "The barrier has been eliminated?"

Bao Feng picked up the silver coin from the soldiers, bent down and picked up another coin from the ground. It was a shiny golden coin with a head portrait printed on it. Bao Feng took the two coins at the same time. He held it up to his mother, and said solemnly: "Look, mother, these two coins are the most appropriate answer to the current situation."

Mrs. Bao watched carefully with full of curiosity.

Chapter 389 [Reminiscences of the Liaodong War, friendship touches people's hearts]

I Have a Backstage in Datang Chapter 389 of the main text volume [Reminiscences of the Liaodong War, friendship touches people's hearts] A gust of north wind came, and the trees were covered with snow.

Bao Feng seemed a little absent-minded, with an inexplicable depression on his face.

The wish for many years has been fulfilled, or it should be said that the unyielding and anger of many years have disappeared.Once a person's wish is fulfilled, it is easy to fall into this kind of bewildered situation.

He suddenly looked at the firewood room next to the hut. A long gun stood quietly beside the firewood pile. He subconsciously walked over and reached out to gently caress the long gun.

After a long while, he murmured, "When I left home, I brought a hatchet with me. I was going to fight like crazy on the battlefield, with the arrogance of the Eastern Palace Guard back then..."

"The hatchet represents my anger and unyielding. I have spent five years sharpening it continuously. Every day, every day, every time I pick it up, I see the batch The voice and smile of the comrades."

"So when Li Shimin's call to war came, I took the hatchet and left home without hesitation. At that moment, I didn't intend to come back alive..."

"Because I deeply know that a hatchet is not a weapon after all, and as for me, Bao Feng, I am no longer the Donggong Wei rate. If I go to the battlefield with a hatchet, I will probably die at a certain time." died in a war."

"Even so, I'm still determined."

"But I didn't expect that my hatchet could not be used at all."

"When I arrived at Zhechong Mansion, I set out to camp with my comrades very quickly. Every day was a quick march, and every day I was desperately rushing..."

"It was a special military competition. All the soldiers from all over the world participated together, tens of 10 people, fighting for that glory."

"That day, we arrived at a place called Gu's Village."

"My comrades are all from ordinary people. They don't understand what the Gu Family Village represents, but I'm different. I used to be a soldier of the Prince of the East Palace. So I knew a long time ago that a royal relative came out of the Gu Family Village. "

"That person, he married Princess Pingyang of Datang."

"That man, he is the brother-in-law that His Royal Highness admires the most."

"I have always wanted to see what kind of person he is, and to find out why he deserves the appreciation of His Royal Highness... In the end, I actually saw him."

"I still remember that the cold wind was very strong that day. He and Li Shimin stood in the snow, with a smile on his face, looking at the soldiers who kept coming. Behind him and Li Shimin, there was a field full of people. Glittering cold light.

"Those cold lights are inexhaustible ordnance, covering a road for more than three miles..."

"Swords, guns, armor, everything you need."

"But when he handed me a long gun, I solemnly shook my head at him to express my refusal. At that time, he was obviously taken aback, and Li Shimin, who was standing by the side, was also taken aback."

"He is such a shrewd person, he guessed everything in just a few breaths, I saw him looking at my hatchet thoughtfully, then smiled slightly at me, and asked me: Is it because you don’t want to use the weapon I gave you because you can’t bear to give up your hatchet? Then please allow me, Gu Tianya, to guess, does your hatchet have a special meaning?”

"Yes, it has a special meaning!"

"At that time, I answered loudly, followed by shouting loudly. I didn't care that Li Shimin was right next to me, and I didn't care if the emperor would become angry with embarrassment. rate, I will only recognize one person in my life. Although I only have a hatchet left today, I want to use this hatchet to beat Dong Gongwei's martial prowess. I want everyone in the world to know that Dong Gongwei will never be weak. In Tiance Mansion..."

"He laughed loudly, leaning back and forth. He was holding the silver gun in his hand, and he didn't show any intention of taking it back. Instead, he looked at me with a mysterious face, and said to me with great interest: So That’s right, no wonder you can’t put down the hatchet.”

"I solemnly replied to him: Although the quality of the hatchet is poor, it has entrusted my ambition."

"He nodded and smiled very gently, but he raised doubts in his mouth and asked me: But do you think you can really fight the martial arts of Donggong Wei with a hatchet?"

"His inquiry made me fall into silence..."

"Just when I was silent, suddenly he laughed again, and said to me: It's better to use my spear instead, take it to the battlefield to fulfill your wish, among millions of troops, shoot your own spear prestige."

"At that time, I was about to refuse again, but he suddenly looked serious, and said solemnly: Don't refuse in a hurry, you wait until I find someone to come out to persuade you, if he can't let you switch to a long gun, then I, Gu Tianya, promise to give you another shot." Nothing else."

"I was slightly taken aback, not understanding what he meant..."

"But soon I figured it out."

"It's His Highness, it turned out to be His Highness the Crown Prince. When the cold wind was howling that day, I watched His Highness walking towards me with a dazed face. I fell into a daze, as if I was in a dream. I couldn't believe it. Your Highness, who has been dead for three years, is still alive..."

"I heard Mr. Gu laughing and joking, as if he was telling His Highness about my situation, but His Highness didn't listen to him at all. His Highness walked quickly to me."

"Your Highness only said the first sentence, and it made me cry."

"Bao Feng, my brother-in-arms, I never imagined that after three years, you would still be willing to fight for me, Li Jiancheng! I, Li Jiancheng, have a group of old brothers like you, and this life is truly worthwhile..."

"Ahhhh!"

"At that moment I burst into tears."

"I knelt down on one knee, holding His Highness's thigh with both hands. I have countless things in my heart, and I want to talk to His Highness."

"His Highness stroked the top of my head with his hand, his gentle movements were the same as back then, when suddenly a spear appeared in front of my eyes, followed by His Highness's solemn voice...

"Just listen to His Highness saying: Bao Feng, my brother, please accept this spear and make it your weapon. Brother Gu told me that there is a mansion soldier who is very strange and unwilling to accept the weapon he distributes to everyone , only willing to use my own hatchet, so brother-in-law Gu asked me to persuade you, this strange mansion soldier... Bao Feng, my good brother Li Jiancheng, can you tell my brother-in-law now whether you want to Willing to accept this long gun?"

"Accept, why not accept!"

"At that moment, I never refused again, but took the spear with a serious face. I still knelt on one knee, but I shouted to the sky, and shouted: Your Highness personally bestowed soldiers, and Bao Feng will go forward bravely. When the Liaodong War begins, the final general will definitely not fall for the bloody bravery led by the guards of the Eastern Palace."

Amidst the shouts, I stood with a gun in my hand. At that moment, my business was full of vigor, and I felt that I had been aggrieved and raised my eyebrows after three years... One cannot live without a backbone, and my backbone, Bao Feng, is back. Your Highness, I am still alive!

I saw Mr. Gu walking up to His Highness, teasing His Highness with his characteristic warm laughter, and said, "Brother, you are really enviable. How many people are there in this kind of loyal soldiers throughout the ages?"
