In the 80s of the last century, what was the identity of the credit knife man who walked the stree

When I went home for the New Year this year, I heard people from my parents' generation talk about the "knife man on credit", they walked the streets and alleys with their knives on their backs, and anyone who wanted a knife could go to the knife on credit, and the knife man did not collect money, but left a mysterious prophecy, and then came back to collect money when the prophecy came true.

"Credit knife man" was still very famous in the 80s of the last century, the post-90s were still young, and they didn't know much about this matter, and now they hear the "credit knife man", many young people are incredible, and many people think that the "credit knife man" is doing a loss-making business, and they think that they are just doing good deeds under the guise of "leaving a prophecy".

However, this is not the case, in fact, the "credit knife people" have existed for many years in history, their identity is businessmen, as early as the Song Dynasty has appeared, at that time it was called "Bu Sell", their way of doing business is "wild road" according to today's words.

When they sell goods, the people who buy the goods can not give a penny, and then they leave a proverb, a word will return to collect money, if there is a famine or war, then it is to barter, usually the ** of the goods is relatively higher, such as the "credit knife man" sold knives are dozens of times more expensive than the same knives at that time, but their knives are indeed of good quality.

This can be said to be a "high-risk and high-return" business, but the "credit knife people" are not blindly walking the streets, they will first understand the local people, and then take credit, leaving the prophecy to wait for many years to get a return, among which there are many predictions that do not come true, and some people do not abide by integrity.

However, in ancient times, the people were simple, and most of them would still pay, and this way of buying and selling could arouse the curiosity of consumers, even if they might not need the items of the "knife man on credit" at home, but they also wanted to listen to the prophecy of the "knife man on credit" and wait for the result to come true.

The ancients were superstitious and had a sense of awe for mysterious things, so they were easily attracted, and some wealthy people saw that the prophecy of the "knife man on credit" came true, and they would give more remuneration and special hospitality to the "knife man on credit".

In July 1878, the "declaration" also recorded the matter of "credit knife man", Xianfeng Xinxi year (1861), there was a "credit knife man" in Fenghua County, Zhejiang, he saw where the boat was lively, lined up the knife on the shore, met the buyer, did not collect money, only left a prophecy: "The current rice is expensive, it is 80 wen per liter, I will wait until the price of rice is 18 wen per liter to collect money." ”

At that time, many people laughed at the stupidity of the "credit knife man", but what everyone didn't expect was that in the early years of Guangxu, the price of rice fruit did fall to 18 wen a liter, and everyone had a sense of admiration for the "credit knife man".

"Knife sellers" are some knife sellers who have walked on the rivers and lakes and seen the world, they give knives to these people on credit, and say a specific thing, and collect money for knives when this happens.

"Knife man on credit" is the eighties of the last century, that is, thirty years ago, widely appeared in China's urban-rural junction and rural areas of a "mysterious group", most of them are peddlers dressed up, carrying knives, walking the streets and alleys, shouting loudly, when someone buys a knife, first talk about **, and then do not accept cash, make a "prophecy", and then collect the account when the prophecy comes true, this is the meaning of "credit".

It is a branch of Taoism, when he retreated and practiced on various mountains, and later because he couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people, and at the same time in order to practice personal conduct and Taoism, he went down the mountain to help the people, and lent iron knives to the people on credit.

They are a group of businessmen who are very good at doing business. The cost of their goods is extremely low, even if only one prediction is successful in ten times, then he can recover the cost and earn profits, there is a feeling of "not opening for half a year, opening for half a year." ”

30 years ago, what was the identity of the "credit knife man" who walked the streets and alleys and left mysterious prophecies.

At that time, the ** of a knife was not cheap. While"Knife man on credit"The fact that they could give up so many knives on credit shows that they were very rich at that time. They have only gotten richer over the years, so they may have forgotten about the knives they gave out on credit.

Probably gone. At that time, these "credit knife people" who walked the streets and alleys were generally forty or fifty years old, and they may not have been there after such a long time, so they have not come back to collect money.

Maybe they are already developed and don't care about this money anymore, or maybe they have recovered some of the money and there is no need to go elsewhere.

In the early decades, there were indeed people with knives on credit in the countryside, and they gave the knives to the people on credit, and left a prophecy, such as when the corn was a pound of money, they would come back to get the knife money, and the people who took the knife on credit only needed to sign a name, but later after these prophecies were all realized, the people who took the knife on credit did not come back to get the money. Decades have passed since then, and this matter has become the talk of the town. According to my analysis, the reason why the people who took the knife on credit did not come back to get the money was because they didn't think about asking for money at that time, these people are very compassionate people, they are willing to give some benefits to the people, do good deeds without leaving a name, and can be regarded as accumulating blessings and virtues for future generations.

The "knife man on credit" is actually selling knives without money, only saying a few words of prophecy, and then collecting knife money after the prophecy comes true. But the "credit knife people" are generally **, although the knife does not require money, but their other things cost money, and ** is often higher than the price at the time.

Someone once said that the identity of the person who took the knife should be the descendant of Guiguzi. They are well-versed in a hundred schools of thought. But these are just rumors, and there is no real evidence.

I don't think anyone knows who he really is, and a lot of times they don't even know who the real swordsman is, and when he left his words and left, everyone didn't know who he really was.

They were just ordinary merchants, who would just show up there from time to time and rent their knives to local farmers.

So far, it is still not clear what his identity is, and many netizens are also very surprised by this.

These people don't actually have any identity, it's just a made-up character in **, and there are no such people in real life.
