Decades ago, why did the credit knife man who left a mysterious prophecy in the countryside not co

Because it's just a rumor, nothing like this happened, it's all nonsense.

Because these people can't be found, and they haven't been seen again, and they can't pay them back.

Because he didn't choose to get the money back, his words made everyone feel very strange.

As the name suggests, a knife man is a knife sellerBecause of their own mystical behavior, many authors will write them into **, soThe "credit knife man" has become a strange and strange thing.

The man who sells knives on credit usually goes to the countryside, and he sells knives in two ways:

The first is to collect half of the money first, and tell you that the knife will not be used again next year and come back to collect the other half of the money.

Second, if a sheep can be sold for 10,000 yuan, it will come back and collect the money, etc.

It sounds like most of the unpredictable events, but most of what the real swordsmen said came true, but these people rarely showed up to ask for money.

Carrying a pinch of kitchen knives on their backs, they wandered around, or under the trees at the head of the village or in the streets and alleys, giving the kitchen knives to ordinary people on credit, and leaving a proverb, that is, a prophecy, and saying that they would come and collect money when the prophecy came true.

When they appeared, no one noticed that they were from**. When they left, no one knew where they went. If you follow them, you will find that it is in vain, they come and go suddenly, leaving only gossip and mystery.

The legend of the ancient sword-bearer

More than a thousand sheep, more than 10,000 cattle, and then collect money for a pound of corn", this is what we say about the older generation about the mysterious knife man, in the era when beef and mutton were only a few cents a pound, such a prophecy is indeed surprising, because no one would have thought that decades later, all these things will come true.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an exact record of the credit knife people. According to the 1878 "Shanghai Declaration", it is recorded:

During the Xianfeng Xinxi period, in Fenghua County, Zhejiang, occasionally a few outsiders would take a boat to the shore to set up a stall to sell kitchen knives. After meeting the buyer, they will calculate**, but they will not charge the knife money, they will tell the buyer that now they buy 80 wen per liter of rice, and when they sell 18 wen per liter of rice, they will come back to collect the knife money.

Everyone laughed at them for being crazy, when the light passed to the early years of Guangxu (eighteen years later), the price of rice in Ningbo Mansion really dropped to eighteen wen one liter, so the people who bought the knife recalled this incident and were surprised! The local people call it "credit knife people".

Soon after, the man with the knife came back to collect the money from the knife, and the Ningbo government heard about this and immediately sent officials to hunt down the man with the knife, but it was too late, and the man with the knife seemed to know everything, and he had long since disappeared.

It is an ancient profession that has existed for thousands of years.

They claimed to be the disciples of Guiguzi of the Warring States Period, and in the eighties of the last century, that is, thirty years ago, "credit knife people" widely appeared in China's urban-rural areas and rural areas.

Most of them are dressed as hawkers, carrying knives, walking the streets and alleys, shouting loudly, and when someone buys a knife, they first talk about **, and then do not accept cash, make a "prophecy", and agree to collect the account when the prophecy comes true, which is the meaning of "credit".
