Located at the intersection of the north-south high-speed waterway, the beam (now Kaifeng) is probably the most prosperous city in the world, its "south and Chu realm, west and Han Qin, north and Yan Zhao, east and Qi realm", "the princes are connected in four ways, and the strip is up to the radiation", the boats in all directions, the big business giants in the southeast and northwest, endlessly, all year round gather in this city that never sleeps.

Although the city is only 14 or 5 miles, the area of the outer Guo is twice that of the city, especially on the side of the wharf in the north of the city, the wharves are lined up one after another, the warehouses are more than the houses, the boats are innumerable, the goods are immeasurable, and the money is endless. The following countries all make their own coins, only in the Liang countries can be used smoothly, Qin Banliang, Qi Dao coins, Chu ant nose, Zhao Bu coins, Liang Banshang, coins car bucket, not only universal, but also exchangeable.

Liang Banshang 520 Dangfu (520 Liang Half Coins to 1 or 2 Chu Gold Coins), Qin Ban 2460 Dangfu (460 Qin Half Coins to 1 or 2 Chu Gold Coins), Qi Dao Coins 50 Dangfu (50 Qi Dao Coins to 1 or 2 Chu Gold Coins), 600 Chu Ant Nose Dangfu (600 Chu Ant Noses to 1 or 2 Chu Gold Coins)......

'Dangfu' is when the gold of Chu is one tael, and the currencies of all countries are exchanged with the reference of one tael of gold of Chu, which is called the price of Liang money. The price of money is high and low, especially wars, natural disasters, and national turmoil, and the price of money in this country will always fluctuate greatly at this time. For example, Liang Banshang, fifty years ago, was still 'Liang Banshang 200 Dangfu', but the Qin State attacked year after year, and the Wei State only had Henan left in the territory, and the price of money fell from '200 Dangfu' to '520 Dangfu'.

None of them. The nations, especially the Qin state, never allowed the currency of other countries to circulate within their borders. Once the city was occupied by the Qin State, what Liang Banshang, Liang Zhengshang, and Liang Kua ...... All of them are invalid for copper, and only half of Qin can be circulated on the market.

A beam weighs 7 grams and is worth 2 cents; A pound of copper weighs 251 grams and is only worth more than 30 dollars. A pound of copper can be cast at least 35 pieces, worth 70 yuan, and the 'gold' used for trade and trading in the Warring States period has never been brass, nor can it be brass. "Gold and silver are not naturally currency, but currency is naturally gold and silver", the common people may be fools, but the merchants are never fools, the melting point is all within 1100 degrees of charcoal can reach gold, silver, copper is always very easy to distinguish, some big businessmen even like to remelt gold and silver, or mark or dope, not enough.

Only the 'gold' of gold and gifts, which may be gold or brass. Gold can naturally be circulated in the nations, but brass, in an era when there are many countries, there is a lack of currency in circulation, and even shell coins, these brass can be privately minted into coins. But when the Spring and Autumn Period more than 100 countries gradually evolved into several countries of the Warring States Period, copper production increased year by year, so that every household has bronze mirrors, and after the coinage right is nationalized, no one is allowed to mint coins privately, copper is only copper, no longer currency.

Once the Qin army occupied the Wei cities, the merchants under the control of the Qin would bring these copper dollars to the Liang, causing the exchange value of Wei coins to plummet. In the past, Liang Kua was 100 Dangfu, now it is 260 Dangfu, maybe in a few years, it may be 400 or 500 Dangfu.

The Qin army attacked Chu, and the Chu State ant nose money of Daliang immediately fell to 650 Dangfu, and when the news of the Chu army's victory came, the price of Chu State money immediately rose again, falling back to 620 Dangfu. Taking advantage of the fact that the price of money has not yet risen to the previous 600 Dangfu, the big merchants of all countries are rushing to buy the goods of the Chu State, and in Baifu in the city, a debate about the direction of the war is ongoing.

"Zhao has sent 200,000 troops, Zhao envoys have met our king, and nearly 300,000 Chu troops are confronting the Qin army in the north of Chengyang......" This is Zheng Shang's voice. The name of Zheng Shang is well-known all over the world. Their favorite thing is war, and they control or control the arms and munitions trade, and every time they go to war, they will gain a huge victory.

"Qin and Chu have been married for hundreds of years, and now Yin Chun Shenjun has died, and although Chu is victorious, he will negotiate peace. I heard that the Qin State had condemned the right prime minister, Changping Jun, to make Chu discuss and allied with each other...... "In addition to Zheng Shang, there were also many opposing voices, especially Qi Shang and Lu Shang. Most of the goods sold by the two countries are livelihood commodities, and once they join forces, sales will naturally be blocked.

"The Qin envoy has arrived at the Great Liang! The Qin envoy has arrived at the ...... of Daliang, "the middle court set up a banquet of old wine, bell ringing and dining, and the big businessmen of all countries present here insisted on their own opinions, tried their best to debate, and tried in vain to persuade the other party to follow their own opinions, but as soon as the news of the Qin envoy to Daliang came, he immediately looked at the person who reported the news.

"Who is the Qin envoy? When did the King of Wei meet with the Qin envoys? A cadre asked anxiously.

"Qin envoy Yao Jia, the king has not said when he will meet Qin envoy." This Yao Jia was originally a Wei person, and he came to make Wei convince the King of Wei that the matter could be done. It's just that King Wei didn't say when he would meet, is this not for the time being or doesn't want to meet? After the person who reported the news finished speaking, the middle court was in chaos again, but he didn't stay, and went directly to the west hall through the court.

The west hall is arranged like a military curtain, and the chips in the style of riding are placed on the chips, and a sturdy middle-aged man speaks to Bai Yi, Xiandui, Yizan and others.

“…… The Chu army fought against the water, which was to prevent the Qin army cavalry from attacking the belly and back, Zi Yiyan said that during the war, the Qin army entered the ambush of Chu, and its formation must be thin and thick, luring the Qin army into the battle. With the formation, at this time, the left and right armies should attack the Qin army, but they can't, this battle is the defeat of the Qin army's flank. Therefore, I say that the 300,000 Chu army are all inferior soldiers, and if Qin increases his troops and fights again, the Chu army will be defeated, and the Chu State should negotiate peace with the Qin State. ”

"Although the state of Chu was weak after moving eastward, it became a big country after destroying the state of Lu. Zi Yu said that the 300,000 Chu army were all inferior ......, and I believe it. "Ziqian Jiaxiandui listened carefully to Zi Yu's analysis of the battle of Chu Qin Qingshui, and he didn't believe the results he deduced." I heard it in Shouying, the Chu army has a crossbow, a huge armor, a five-foot sword, and a Zhurong weapon, which is about ten zhang high, can throw flint, and the heavy one stands into powder. ”

Xiandui said as he looked at the people beside him, these people in the room were the real big businessmen. When they saw Xiandui, they nodded one after another, indicating that what Xiandui said was not false.

"The battle between the two armies only relies on the formation to be brave, the so-called Jing crossbow armor, Zhu Rong's weapon......" The middle-aged man who was called Ziyu couldn't help but smile at the things mentioned by the strings. This is a common misconception. Weapons are just weapons, it's the people who use them.

"Mr. Ziyu, please look at this sword." Bai Yi, as the master, interrupted, and the servant beside him pulled out a beautiful long wooden box. "When the Qin army retreated to the north of Chengyang, someone bought this sword in the military market. The Qin army officials who sold this sword said that this sword was handed over to the Chu army, and the sword could cut jade and gold, and a hundred soldiers could not stop it. ”

The paint on the box is very new, I'm afraid it's new. In terms of short arms alone, the longest Qin sword was only four feet, but this box was nearly six feet long, and Zi Yi immediately opened the wooden box and saw a five-foot long sword. The sheath of the long sword is also newly made, and the pattern on it is not the style of the Chu State at all. took the sword, slightly unsheathed, and the metallic luster like autumn water immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Good sword!" Yizan, who didn't know anything about swords, shouted, and wanted to see it.

Ke Ziyi stopped, and he saw a line of small writing at the end of the sword blade near the sword grid. This is the bird seal of the Chu country, don't write with other countries, but fortunately he knows Chu Wen, so he reads: "The age of the eldest son Jing as a waterwheel, Shouying, the great engineer is ugly."

The state of Chu never uses the year of the king, but the year of major events. The age of the eldest son Jing as a watermill is this year. Before Ke Ziyi finished reading, the spine of the sword passed, and there was a line of small words, "Riding a knife, zero one hundred five five." ”

"Oh!" Bai Yi was a little surprised, this sword was purchased in the Qin Jun Military Market, the bird seal was difficult to understand, and he had not yet asked someone to take a closer look at Lewen. He thought it was a sword, but who would have thought that it would be a sword, the riding knife of the Chu army.

The skin scabbard came out of the sheath silently, but the more the blade was revealed, the more people admired the knife. The murderous knife is like a sacrificial vessel, revealing a strange beauty everywhere, and the blood groove on the thin single is the most eye-catching, which makes people can't help but caress it.

"Indeed, it is a sword." Ziyu waved gently, feeling that the weight was appropriate, and it was extremely easy.

"Sir, please try the knife." The servant sent another bronze sword, this is the Wei sword, which is only three feet long.

"This sword can cut this sword?" Ziyu asked, the blade of the knife was shiny, and people couldn't help but love it. Cutting the sword with a sword, he feared that the sword would be destroyed.

"Although the sword is high, it is not worth a penny compared to the combination of victory and defeat. Sir, please try, I want to know if the soldiers of Chu have this knife, can they defeat the Qin army? Bai Yi smiled, very free and easy, and couldn't see a trace of distress.

"No." After Zi Yu nodded, he immediately held the knife and met with the Wei sword, and after Jin Ming, the blade entered the sword and went deep into the sword.

"Try again!" Ziyi, who didn't do his best, sensed something, and swung his knife and slashed again. With a sound of 'dang', the first half of the bronze sword flew up, and the truncated sword almost hit Yizan's head, everyone was shocked and frightened, but they didn't expect that what Qin Shu said about cutting gold and breaking jade was true.

"If the 300,000 Chu soldiers have such a huge army, the Qin army will be defeated." The answer is self-explanatory, the treasure sword can cut off the Wei sword, and it can also cut the Qin sword. Of course, the sword is not a battle weapon, but if this kind of huge iron is used to make a halberd and beryllium spear, which is compatible with the bronze armor and shield of the Qin people in wartime, the weapons of the Qin army may have to be cut off. "But this is only a riding knife, but there is a halberd?"

"I haven't seen the halberd." Bai Yi shook his head. "Or the Qin army was defeated, and the Qin soldiers did not get the halberd of the Chu people."

"Not really." Zi Yi pondered, "If this is used as a halberd, the Qin pawn will be cut off during the battle, and the Qin pawn will be surprised, and he will try to get one or two." Now I haven't seen it, and I'm afraid that Chu has not built a halberd. In this way, the Chu army will still be defeated by the Qin army in another battle. ”

"What do you think of this knife brother?" The knife was transferred from Ziyi's hands to Brother Kong, as Bai Yi called him, who was a great businessman of iron smelting in the Wei State and had been smelting iron for hundreds of years.

"This sword is made of great iron. A few months ago, I heard that the Chu people can refine huge iron...... "Kong Xiang is also the first time to see the Chu army riding a knife, and it is a pity that the blade cannot be cut off, and the iron quality of its broken edge is carefully seen."

"A sword of iron can break a three-foot copper sword, which is unheard of." Yizan is also a knowledgeable person, he grabbed the short sword, and still can't believe it.

"The iron sword cannot be broken, but the iron sword can be broken." Kong Xiang smiled slightly, not mentioning half of the word 'quenching'. There is nothing surprising that the Chu people have refined the huge iron, what he is really surprised is that the Chu people can actually quench the iron sword to the point where they can cut the copper sword, which is the most terrifying.
