When Xu Kang took out the gold, the impact on everyone was very big.

This is not only because gold is worth more than silver, but also because it is "coined"!

Listing, as the name suggests, refers to a superior currency.

Before the Qin Dynasty, money was divided into three grades, with pearl and jade being the upper grade, gold being the medium grade, and ordinary copper coins being the lower grade.

However, after the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, pearls, jade, and silver were only considered valuables, and the currency was only two grades, namely gold and copper, the superior currency.

In the Han Dynasty, the gold cast was generally horseshoe-shaped and cake-shaped, and the weight of each was 250 grams, that is, one catty, so it was also called "one gold".

During the time of Han Gaozu, the official exchange ratio of gold and copper coins was 1:5000, that is, a one-pound gold cake was exchanged for 5,000 five-baht coins.

But later, this ratio gradually increased, and finally basically remained at 1:10,000.

Of course, this ratio refers to the five-baht coin, because the currency of the Han Dynasty was calculated according to weight, and if the weight of the copper coin was not enough, then this would have to be expanded.

And the appearance of Dong Zhuo has broken through the critical point of this ratio.

In order to make up for the loss of moving the capital to Chang'an, after arriving in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo began to loot people's property, dig graves, and then smelt the obtained copper and make a small amount of money.

The small money he created weighed only one-third of the original five-baht coin, that is, about 1.7 baht, and once such a small coin was issued, it immediately caused inflation.

Dong Zhuo's indiscriminate creation of small money instantly destroyed the ancient economy that was originally prosperous, and also made the five-baht coin turn from prosperity to decline, after the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it still could not be restored to its original prosperity.

And during this period of economic collapse, gold, silver, grain, and cloth will be the main body of the market.

It is precisely because he knows that the five-baht money will depreciate in a few years, so Xu Kang will take the five-baht money to buy an official so happily, leaving only gold, silver, pearls and jade and other valuables.

However, even though he knew the value of these belongings, he had no choice but to take them out in order to inflate the value of the tokens.

"Whether it works or not, I have to try, even if I fail, what I lose is nothing more than the gold and silver in my hands, but if I succeed, hehehehehe......"

Thinking of the excitement, the smile on Xu Kang's face began to gradually collapse, like a strange uncle who was about to take little Lori to see the goldfish.

Thankfully, the eyes of everyone present at this time were attracted by the gold in the chest, and no one saw his out-of-shape expression.

After about a minute or so, everyone slowly came back to their senses, and then raised their heads to look at Xu Kang, their eyes full of shock and awe.

Xu Kang was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, because when the other party showed such an expression, the danger caused by his violation of "not revealing money" was reduced.

So he laughed again.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry too much, this box of gold is the same as silver, it is for everyone to exchange, but the price is more expensive than silver, the exchange price of one gold is one hundred tokens, and if the tokens are not enough, you can make up, and you can't miss the opportunity not to come again!"

"Uh...... This ......"

Xu Kang's words obviously moved a lot of people, and at this moment, everyone turned their attention to Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was also moved, so he just hesitated slightly, and then bowed to Xu Kang apologetically, "In this way, thank you so much, my lord!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and opened his mouth to the surrounding tun leaders and squad leaders.

"If you can trust me Zhang, give me the token!"

Zhang Cheng's reputation in the hearts of his subordinates is still very good, and after hearing his words, many tun leaders and squad leaders handed him the small round in their hands.

Soon, he scraped together enough hundred, and then got a golden cake from Xu Kang as he wished.

However, to his surprise, Zhao Hong still didn't make any movement at this time, as if what was placed there was not gold, but a pile of stones.

This puzzled him.

And just as he opened his mouth to ask, Xu Kang asked one step ahead of him: "I said Zhao Hong, why are you still stunned?" This is gold, will you change it or not? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Asked by Xu Kang again, Zhao Hong seemed a little embarrassed, immediately patted the back of his head, and then laughed.

"Haha...... Adults forgive sins, in fact, the Biao is a rough man, and he has no interest in gold, so he ...... Still not changing! ”

Rough people? Not interested in gold?

As soon as Zhao Hong's words came out, Zhang Cheng was immediately stunned, "Is this really Zhao Hong?" Someone can't be pretending, right? ”

But the next moment, his intuition told him that Zhao Hong must have other plans, and the plans are very big!

His instinct was obviously right, because as soon as he thought of this, he saw Zhao Hong speaking towards Xu Kang with a flattering face.

"Hey...... My lord, apart from gold and silver, is there anything else that can be exchanged? ”

Something else?

Hearing Zhao Hong's words, Zhang Cheng felt as if he had figured it out, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned his head to look at Xu Kang.

Under his gaze, I saw Xu Kang nodding slowly, "Yes, it's just some ordinary food, you or?" ”

"Yes!" Unlike when facing gold and silver before, this time Zhao Hong answered without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng became more and more firm in his conjecture, he didn't speak, just looked at Xu Kang quietly, as if waiting for the other party to verify the answer in his heart.

The answer was soon revealed, and Xu Kang waved his hand again, and the two chests containing gold and silver in the field disappeared in an instant, replaced by a large pile of magic bread that exuded a sweet smell.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng was stunned again.

"What if that's Zhao Hong? He wants these weird scones? Although these scones may not seem to be the same as the usual scones, how can they compare to the golden cakes? ”

Although he felt incredible, he couldn't help but believe the scene in front of him, because Zhao Hong had already handed the token in his hand to Xu Kang.

"My lord, I've decided, I want this!"

"Well, good!"

Xu Kang nodded, reached out and took the token handed by Zhao Hong, and then stretched out his hand to point to the pile of magic bread next to him.

"Take this hundred breads, you can find a box to put it in and eat it slowly, don't worry, before you eat it, it won't spoil no matter how long it is!"

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, I'll let someone bring the box!"

After saying that, he immediately asked his soldiers to find a few boxes and pack all the magic bread on the ground.

Several boxes were filled, and then he was satisfied and saluted Xu Kang with a fist, "Thank you for your kindness, my subordinates are grateful!" ”

"You're welcome!"

Looking at Zhao Hong, who was excited, Xu Kang smiled slightly, and then waved his hand at him and the others around him.

"Okay, it's not too early, we have to march tomorrow, everyone go back early to rest, don't worry if you still have tokens on you, after thinking about what you want to change, just come and exchange it with me tomorrow, okay, disband!"

"Yes!"
