    The concept of how much silver a donkey is worth is relatively vague.

    Based on the prices in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the price of a good horse at that time was about twelve taels of silver, and the price of a donkey was about six taels.

    During the Hongzhi period, Yang Yiqing, who was under the Trilateral General System, vigorously developed horse administration under the emperor's orders, ensuring the military supply of horses, mules and donkeys for civilian use, so the market prices of mules and horses in the private sector were relatively stable.

    However, a donkey worth six taels of silver still greatly tempted the onlookers.

    Since the time of Emperor Taizu, he has strictly prohibited gambling and entertainment activities such as Guanpu. Violators will be punished. However, Chinese people are naturally fond of gambling and have repeatedly banned gambling. In addition, the current Emperor Hongzhi is benevolent, so gambling is very popular among the people, and the law  No, the government is turning a blind eye.

    Shaoxing is located in a prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the unique soil, climate and geographical location, the reason why Shaoxing is so prosperous is that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are good at accepting new things. The people here are open, the ideas are advanced, and they are bold. Just imagine that the Taipei  The emperor of the ancestors issued a maritime ban, strictly prohibiting ships from entering the sea, but the Zhejiang merchants in the south of the Yangtze River still obeyed and secretly built merchant ships to trade with Japan, Korea and Ryukyu. This is such a heroic spirit that demands money but not life.

    Therefore, the audience showed great interest in Qin Kan's so-called "lottery" event.

    What can you do with two coins in Shaoxing Prefecture?  Maybe it can make a pot of fresh Yuqian Longjing in the tea shop, maybe it can eat a mid-range meal in Yuchun Tower, and now, it maybe can be exchanged for a donkey worth six taels of silver

    After all calculations, people feel that spending two dollars is not a loss.

    After a brief silence, the crowd gradually became excited.

    "Young man, I'll give you some money and I'll draw it once"

    "I'm coming too!"

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    Qin Kan stood in front of the box, watching countless hands hand over the weighed two coins, countless hands reaching into the box and taking out a ball of paper, and of course, there were countless sighs and unwillingness Renewal?

    Qin Kan smiled, very sweetly.

    The arms were heavy, filled with all kinds of scattered silver, roughly estimated at about twenty taels, which made the robe bulge, but the smile on Qin Kan's face was like the peach blossoms in March, blooming more and more brightly.

    Du Yan on the side looked at all this in stunned silence, her beautiful almond eyes filled with disbelief, her bright red mouth opened wide and didn't close for a long time.

    Amid the hustle and bustle, Qin Kan took the time to turn his head and grin at her: "Do you feel that you admire me in your heart, but you don't want to admit it?"

    Du Yan¡¯s little mouth closed in vain, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she said disdainfully: ¡°What¡¯s so admirable about this¡­¡±

    She shut up before she finished speaking. She suddenly realized that Qin Kan's question was very deceptive, and no matter how she answered it, it would fall into his trap.

    Staring at him bitterly, Du Yan sneered: "Don't be too happy, there are still more than a hundred paper balls left in the box. If someone wins the prize now, your more than one hundred paper balls  So no one will buy it anymore"

    Qin Kan glanced at her indifferently, and when the crowd was not paying attention, he quietly took out a paper ball from his sleeve. He calmly waved it in front of her eyes, and then the paper ball disappeared into his sleeve at a magical speed.

    Du Yanxing blinked, then she reacted and took a breath of cold air.

    "Youyou put that winning piece of paper" Du Yan was furious, her face turned red.

    "Shhh blocking someone's way of making money is like killing your parents. You wouldn't be so wicked, would you?" Qin Kan lowered his voice.

    Du Yan clenched her fists angrily: "You are so despicable! You have fooled so many people"

    "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is no need to take the matter so seriously."

    "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"

    Qin Kan¡¯s eyebrows did not move: ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, if you dare to expose me, I will say that we are a partnership¡±

    "you¡­¡­"

    Qin Kan sighed and said: "As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy you happiness. Look at these people, they are so happy after spending only two pieces of silver. Looking at the world, where can they find such cheap things? They should thank me.  ¡­¡±

    Du Yan felt like her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't get out. She gritted her teeth and said, "What bastard said 'It's hard to buy a man happy'?"

    Qin Kan, who was about to get rich, was in a good mood at the moment. He pointed at himself with his thumb and said with a smile: "Of course it was me, the bastard, who said that."

    Du Yan was speechless. She deeply felt that the seemingly weak scholar in front of her must have been shamelessly touched by a masterA wise man will never starve to death no matter where he is.

    After being alone for a long time, Qin Kan suddenly turned his head: "Why don't you leave?"

    Du Yan snorted angrily: "Does the road in the city belong to your home? You don't care whether I can take it or not!"

    Qin Kan sighed and murmured to her the third conclusion.

    "In addition to being cruel and having a low moral bottom line, this woman is also very thick-skinned"

    ***************************************************  **********

    The two walked for a while in tandem. Qin Kan stopped, and Du Yan stopped. Qin Kan left, and Du Yan left. She puffed up her cheeks and stared at Qin Kan's back hatefully, which made Qin Kan's spine tremble.  cold.

    It feels very strange, as if a dog was staring at me while I was carrying a piece of meat, and then followed me all the way

    Fortunately, this awkward and strange relationship did not last long.

    After walking a few steps, Qin Kan was tapped on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was the middle-aged scholar who had just won the prize.

    "Brother, is there anything else?" Qin Kan raised his eyebrows.

    The middle-aged scholar¡¯s ??eyes were a little hollow. From just now until now, he has been acting a little nervous.

    "Just now, the paper ball I won the prizewhat was painted on it?" There was a strong desire for knowledge on the scholar's face.

    "The prize has been honored, you don't care what it draws."

    The scholar shook his head, with a stubborn persistence: "No, show me the paper ball again"

    Qin Kan readily took out the piece of paper with a pig's head on it and handed it to him. This person looked a little abnormal. Madmen, like women, represented trouble. There was already a trouble around him that he couldn't get rid of.  Qin Kan didn't want any more trouble.

    The scholar unfolded the ball of paper, and on it a very abstract cartoon pig head was smiling innocently at him.

    The scholar stared at it for a long time, then suddenly took a breath of cold air and shouted: "Oh, what a shame! What is this? It's so ugly to me!"

    Oh shit¡­¡­

    The gentle Qin Kan suddenly wanted to curse.

    Du Yan, who had been following Qin Kan, laughed, and then laughed without any concern for manners.

    Qin Kan stared at the scholar with an unkind expression: "What do you mean?"

    The scholar didn¡¯t even look at him. He held a corner of the paper ball with two fingers and pinched his nose with the other hand. The expression on his face was as if he had been fed a piece of shit and almost vomited it out on the spot.

    This expression was more hurtful than pointing at the nose and scolding the mother, and smoke began to rise from Qin Kan's head.

    The scholar obviously has no eyesight. He is immersed in the sadness of the deformed pig head and cannot extricate himself

    "Ah! Could it be a donkey?" The scholar suddenly wondered, and then his disgust became even worse: "Is this a donkey? Can a donkey look like this?"

    As soon as Qin Kan opened his mouth, the scholar interrupted him angrily: "How can a donkey be painted like this? Everything in the world has its own divine form. You are blaspheming against all things!"

    I don¡¯t know what this guy does, but he actually carries a pen and ink cartridge with him. No matter what Qin Kan and Du Yan¡¯s expressions are, he squats down and starts to modify the picture of the pig head on the street.

    With a few strokes added, an abstract pig head was changed by the scholar into a donkey's head. The donkey's ears drooped, and the donkey's face was elongated, lifelike and full of charm.

    Qin Kan and Du Yan couldn't help but be amazed.

    The scholar looked left and right for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction, slapped the painting on Qin Kan's chest roughly, and said angrily: "Did you see it? That's why you call it a donkey! The one you painted is simply a pig!"

    Qin Kan touched his nose and said calmly: "What I just drew was originally a pig"

    The scholar was stunned and stared at Qin Kan for a long time. Suddenly he bent down and coughed violently.

    Qin Kan squinted his eyes and smiled.

    Although this guy looks a little abnormal, he doesn¡¯t seem to be a bad person

    After cupping his hands, Qin Kan asked politely: "You haven't asked me your name yet?"

    "Ahem, cough I am Tang Yin, Suzhou, courtesy name Bohu, alas!"

    "Cough cough cough" This time it was Qin Kan's turn to cough, and his cough was worse than Tang Yin's.
