Although it was a dim candle light, there was still a cold glow on each piece of armor. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info placed in the hall is the heavy armor that Fei Qian used on the Mo sword soldiers......

Cui Hou hesitated a little, and said hesitantly: "Lord...... If you sell this armor...... This one...... I'm afraid ......"

The reason why Cui Hou has some concerns is because the scholars in various places, as long as they are larger, have their own blacksmiths, in addition to building farm tools, they also create weapons and armor and other things needed for the manor, and items such as armor are often tens of thousands of dollars, like this, the whole body is heavily armored, it is very good, but the price is also very high, at least five or six hundred thousand to start, not all the scholars are willing to purchase.

There is no way, in most people's concepts now, giving a gun head is a soldier, and there are very few people who are willing to buy such a suit of armor for soldiers.

Fei Qian smiled, walked over to the armor, and said, "This is a ...... Template, of course, you can buy it, 800,000 yuan a set, but what I'm talking about is not armor, but ......"

Fei Qian knocked on the iron piece on the armor, and said lightly: "Let's just say that we have found an iron mine, and we need materials to ensure the ...... needed for mining" With this armor, it is like saying that if there are many iron ingots, you can make a full-body armor......

Cui Hou stood up with a brush, his eyes were blazing, and he opened his eyes that turned into the size of soybeans and asked in a low voice, "Lord, what did you say...... Seriously? ”

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Yongyuan, what do you say? ”

The Han Dynasty did not ban armor, but the ban on iron ore, this kind of profitable thing, is not allowed to be mined privately, but such regulations have basically been in vain, as long as there is iron ore in all parts of the country, it is secretly mined.

"So, there should be none......" Cui Hou was a little disappointed, in the Han Dynasty, an iron mine was even more valuable than a gold mine, and the entire Xiongnu was crushed alive by the Han people with iron tools that exceeded a development cycle......

And basically everything is now iron, not to mention the armor, farm tools, daily necessities are inseparable, therefore, every piece of iron ingot is a sought-after bestseller, do not worry about no market.

Cui Hou somewhat understood what Fei Qian meant, using iron ore as a gimmick, and iron ore must only be spoken verbally, not on paper, everyone understands this, so the agreement is naturally how much to lend, and then how many iron ingots to repay in the end, if you violate it, it is how much money is converted.

But what Cui Hou doesn't understand is that in this way, even if he doesn't give iron ingots in the end, he will actually post a lot of interest, how can Fei Qian be sure that he will be able to make more money when the time comes?

However, seeing that Fei Qian was confident, Cui Hou didn't ask in the end, so he still chose to believe it, after all, most of his net worth was earned by relying on Fei Qian, and Fei Qian would not be regarded as child's play......

Fei Qian sent Cui Hou out of the hall, and then transferred to the hall alone.

There should be iron ore, but not for the time being. In this area, there are many kinds of minerals, which are very rich, especially coal......

However, even if there is an iron mine, Fei Qian also intends to return this person's coins, because every dynasty will have a violent inflation at the end of the period......

Violent inflation is the best, most murderous, and last way for the superior to harvest the lower, and it will collapse anyway, and take a handful and leave.

Conversely, moderate inflation......

Hmm, ahem......

Later generations of paper money is the use of credit economic model, is an extremely complex currency and credit circulation system, not printing paper money will necessarily lead to inflation, there are many factors, non-professional people simply can not understand. However, in the Han Dynasty, it was extremely simple, so simple that Fei Qian, a half-person, could understand it.

In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China was ahead of the ancients in the West - the Greeks and Romans, and began to use copper coins.

The value of gold and silver is relatively high, and it is impossible for the common people to use it to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, so gold and silver can only be circulated between scholars or big merchants, and the transactions involved are generally large amounts of luxury goods, even if they are used, they are all used to use some silver beans, gold leaves, etc., otherwise they cannot be found at all, and the value of copper coins is relatively low, and they can be used in small retail transactions for people to eat, wear, live and travel.

Emperor Qin took the lead in unifying the currency and establishing the money-based system, which achieved the monetary model that China had used for thousands of years, gold was gold, money was copper, and silver was added to the monetary system in the later period.

The right to mint copper coins was vested in the government during the Qin Dynasty, and the government uniformly regulated the weight and style of copper coins. At that time, copper coins were based on weight, stipulating that 1 tael was 24 baht, and the legal weight of a copper coin was 12 baht, so Qin coin was also commonly known as half a tael. Half a tael of dollars inside and outside, the so-called Brother Kongfang.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court was only responsible for stipulating the weight and style of copper coins, and the right to mint coins was delegated to private individuals, who could freely mint copper coins. It was only in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he fully mastered the right to mint coins, and unified the minting and issuance of the famous five-baht coins in history.

At the same time, this is also the coin used by Fidive at this stage.

Fei Qian took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, one for the imperial court, then one for the officials, another for the merchants, and finally one for the people.

This was the simplest mode of money circulation in the Han Dynasty.

The court minted money and distributed it to officials, who used the money to find merchants to buy goods, and merchants went to buy from peasants or small handicraft producers, and then returned to the court by paying taxes.

However, in this little cycle, too many factors can make the model collapse......

Metal money does not guarantee that inflation will be avoided, on the contrary, this thing is more likely to cause an avalanche of serious consequences due to the simplicity of the ancient circulation model.

In fact, the current economy, in the eyes of Fei Qian, is already on the verge of collapse, but many people, or all the people of the Han Dynasty, do not understand economics, and rarely have a macro vision, so in the eyes of some people, they still think that money is still money......

But in fact, these people just heal their scars and forget the pain, after all, nearly two hundred years have passed since the last violent inflation, and this time interval is also a long time, and the economic problems they are facing now are not caused by a year or two, but are constantly lurking in the long-term use of troops against Xiliang and the pacification of the Yellow Turban......

Wait, Fei Qian suddenly thought of a question, this question seemed to be included in various forums in later generations, and even he himself did not take into account such a long time in the Han Dynasty......
