1.49 The above table returned to China
There are many things in Luoyang that have not yet been resolved. For example, the absconding Hou Gongzi has not yet been captured. But Liu Bei couldn't take care of it anymore.
Chaos is imminent. The country of thistle cannot be left without an owner for a day. Luoyang has been the imperial capital for more than 200 years, and has been built as solid as gold. In addition, His Majesty has already prepared, even when the world is in turmoil, the land of Guanzhong can sit back and relax.
Taicang in Luoyang City, often full of warehouses outside the city. There are also many official warehouses set up along the big river and Luoshui. Grain is transported year after year, piled up, inexhaustible, and even rotten. There is a backlog of grain in the warehouse, which is enough for the officials and people of Luoyang for several years.
His Majesty took precautions, and built thousands of mansions in the West Garden, and piled up wine ponds and meat forests in case of need.
With all of the above, Liu Bei doesn't need to worry about the imperial capital. Guarding thousands of miles of land is the top priority at the moment.
And with His Majesty, Liu Bei is known to have a heavy responsibility. At this time, he returned to China and reorganized his troops. that he may be used by His Majesty one day. The right time is also in line with common sense.
Luoyang has His Majesty in charge, so why should he, the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, worry about it.
Really. Liu Bei expressed his feelings and begged to return to the country. His Majesty gladly agreed.
Seven young ladies, except for Sister Dai'er, who has just given birth, are recuperating with peace of mind. The remaining six young ladies are also close to giving birth. This is more than 2,000 miles to the country of Ji, and the carriage is enough. Wait for the next month Ji Guo's famous fleet to arrive in Beijing, and then return with the ship.
In the Nangang dock, Liu Bei's flagship is being intensified. You will be in the water in a few days. The domestic water network of the thistle country is vertical and horizontal. Several large rivers flow into the sea in the east. The cities are all built on the waterfront, and the ports are used to communicate with each other, and the navy is important.
The three ministers of the General Mansion of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty begged to stay in Luoyang. With the heart of His Majesty. It also handles matters such as Luoyang Jinshui Market.
At the end of August, Yan Xing, the newlywed Yan'er, led more than 100 Jincheng rangers and arrived in Beijing with his family.
Liu Bei was overjoyed. In this way, there is no need to leave the Koji brothers to guard the mansion, Cheng Jia Xu and others. Yan Xing and his embroidered clothes are enough.
Everyone knows that the general of the Fu Han Dynasty will leave Beijing in a few days. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the clan relatives and Liu, the ministers and relatives, all discussed a lot.
Chaos is imminent. King Thistle, please go back at this time, and consider himself to be a garrison and a feudal country. This shows the severity of the situation in the Kanto region.
The empire is strong and strong, and the strength of the country is known to the world. If it is an ordinary thief, why do you need the general to come in person!
It's just that the imperial capital is not guarded by the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty. Relying on the general He Jin alone, how can he be reassuring if he is just a butcher.
Why did Your Majesty put it back so easily? Hundreds of civil and military officials are puzzled.
Liu Bei is bold and neat. Say go and don't stay. But he didn't go in a hurry. While the paddle steamer was still on the way, Liu Bei looked for relatives and friends. Feasting and drinking every day, the guests of the conference, are no different from usual.
He went in and out of the West Garden several times, boarded the ship of Huayunlou, and went to the banquet of His Majesty and the Queen.
In other words, Liu Bei chose to leave Beijing at this time. It is expected that many people, including the queen, also breathed a sigh of relief. The one who is complacent is the general He Jin.
Liu Bei came to visit and released his suspicions with the general He Jinbing. In addition, Liu Bei is about to go away, and he is the only one left in the Luoyang court. He Jin also cherished his feathers and began to win people's hearts.
All the former tyranny is gone. The soldiers returned to the camp, the city gate was lifted, and Luoyang was restored to its original state.
When the national crisis is at the head, we should be the same enemy and unite with the outside world.
The situation in the Kanto region is becoming more and more solemn. The Taiping Road is about to happen. Judging from all indications, it will rise in October. The thirty-six party commanders are also in place, waiting for the order of the great sage and good teacher. This swept the north and south of the river with the trend of wildfire.
And what kind of person is that great sage and good teacher who has been friends with Liu Bei for a long time? No one inside or outside the court knew about it.
Liu Bei always felt that the two would eventually meet.
I heard that His Majesty spent a lot of money on a large construction project. Liu Bei ordered Zuo Feng through the Yellow Gate to donate 100 million money for repairing the palace.
Not more than three days. His Majesty's edict gave the country of Ji a number of "four copper mother models" and granted the right to mint new coins.
Shocked by the court.
The four-out five-baht coin copper mother fan is very similar to the five-baht copper mother fan commonly used in the Han Dynasty.
It is shaped like a copper box cover, with rectangular rounded corners, and a small cylinder in the center of the fan, which is a round hole casting mold road. There are two rows of fans and eight five-baht coins with each other. The casting is unconventional, and there are pairs of positioning mortise and tenon joints around the sides. The back of the fan is cast with cross-shaped ribs that intersect horizontally and vertically, and the raised edge of the coin is combined into a zigzag pattern.
On the back of the bronze fan is a fifteen-character inscription: "Guanghe five years of August Bingwu ordered the court to order Bi Lanzao".
The five baht of the present Han Dynasty generally follows the structure of the five baht of the former Han Dynasty, but there are obvious differences. Most of the five baht of the present Han Dynasty are lighter and thinner than the five baht of the previous Han Dynasty, and the writing is also more rounded, and the corners of the strokes are often rounded.
Since Luoyang, the capital of Guangwuding, the minting of five-baht coins has never stopped. It can be roughly divided into three casting periods: early, middle and late.
In the early days, the five-baht coin, the copper is pure, the craftsmanship is fine, and the face is strict and relaxed. In the middle period, the five baht, the body of the money is slightly smaller than the early period, the copper quality is poor, the casting process is not as neat as the early period, and the money surface text is relatively weak, highlighting the decline of national strength. In the late five baht, the copper is complicated, the craftsmanship is poor, the weight is reduced, and the quality is greatly reduced. It's no different from private money.
In order to distinguish it from the inferior coins circulating in the market, there are various and varied marks on the five-baht coins of the Han Dynasty.
Some are shaped like raised dots, which are called "star" dots in later generations; Some are half dots, called "half stars"; Some are horizontal strokes, and some are vertical strokes, called "horizontal bars" and "vertical bars".
The shape and position of these marks on the five baht also have their own characteristics and are not identical.
For example, there are also star spots, some on the hole, some under the hole, some hanging between the words, and some on the edge of the perforation. The number of stars varies, some have multiple stars, and so on.
But in the end, it is much the same, easy to be copied and imitated by criminals, and it is easier to be polished and eliminated.
His Majesty's newly minted four five baht is intended to rectify the rule of currency and ban all kinds of illegal circulation of private reform and weight loss of five baht. By the way, you can also make a windfall.
As a result, the new coins launched have increased slightly, and most of them can reach four baht.
Listening to Liu Bei's words again, His Majesty woke up. It's a thankless move and it doesn't make any money.
It is also known that Liu Bei minted money not to make money, but to solve the dilemma of lack of money.
So. The "Four Texts and Five Baht Copper Mother Fan" awarded to Liu Bei is a full weight of five baht coins.
This kind of money is perforated on the back, and there is a convex bar at each of the four corners to reach the four out of the outer five baht, so it is also called "dime".
"A dime" was passed down to future generations.
Soon after. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the coin is exquisite, it is extremely difficult to imitate, and it is not easy to be "filing and grinding money and stealing copper" of "four out of five baht", which immediately swept the country of thistle.
Through the Silk Road, he went to the Western Regions. Became legal tender. That's all for later.
knew that Liu Bei was about to return to China. Luoyang friends came to the door to say goodbye.
Shi Yuanshao, the head of the general's mansion, did not shy away from suspicion. As an old friend, he boarded the mansion of the general of the Fuhan Dynasty and toasted goodbye to Liu Bei.
