Liu Kun was happy to have a noble son, perhaps because he was excited, or maybe he felt that he was indeed a little lax some time ago, and decided to plan for the future.

There is no need for the development of force for the time being, so let's develop the economy and people's livelihood in Youzhou!

Liu Kun brought improved corn and wheat seeds in the real world, and the people of Youzhou now harvest twice a year. Liu Kun also instructed the people to use farm fertilizer, but as for chemical fertilizer, he didn't plan to do it.

The longer he stayed in the Three Kingdoms World, the more he liked the mountains and rivers here, and he didn't want to pollute the mountains and rivers of this world, and it would become like a reality, with smoke and miasma everywhere.

When the island country is occupied in the future, all polluting factories such as paper mills and chemical factories will be opened there, which can be regarded as revenge for the invasion of China!

(More than 100 leaders of the island country cried: "What kind of enmity do we have with you, we are good people who respect the Han very much!") It is none of my business for future generations to do iniquity. ）

Grain, plus sweet potatoes and potatoes, many traversers say that this thing was also highly productive in ancient times, I don't know if it's true or not, let's try it for the time being.

In the era when there was no chemical fertilizer, even if it was high-yielding, it was impossible to yield thousands of catties per mu like in modern times, but it was true that these two crops were drought-resistant.

By the way, we also have to plant cotton, forget about this, cotton can also be interplanted with wheat, with cotton, we can not only solve the problem of clothing for the people, but also solve the problem of heating the people in winter.

No way! No way!

I will wait until I ascend the throne, and then I will take out this thing, so that I will show that such crops have fallen from heaven and that the people will believe in my orthodoxy.

Since these have to wait, let's strategize the north, now the Karasuma tribe, as well as the Xianbei tribe in the central part of the country, after half a year of sinicization, have all spoken Chinese, Han etiquette, domestication has achieved a lot of results, the next step can be to carry out the strategy of using Hu to control Hu.

However, the use of the army expedition, the consumption of grain and grass is not a small amount, Dian Wei and Guan Yu to be able to be self-sufficient, in later generations, the three northeastern provinces are the country's big granary, there are also a lot of fertile fields near Danhan Mountain. It's not March yet, and it's time to go to Tuntian!

Write down the general's order with a pen, and drink: "Guard! ”

Two pro-soldiers marched as promised!

"Ordered Guan Yu and Dian Wei to reduce the number of soldiers to 50,000, and the surplus soldiers were reorganized into the Tuntian Army!

The herald ordered Han Zhong to carry 2,000 young men to Guan Yu in R&F City and be responsible for Tuntian.

Ordered Sun Zhong to lead 2,000 young and strong people to Xianbei Wangcheng Dian Wei out, responsible for Tuntian affairs! ”

The soldier took the order and left, and Liu Kun thought again;

The wealth of the people is reflected in the productive forces, once the productive forces exceed their own consumption, they will naturally become rich and strong, compared to gold and silver.

If the output of the productive forces is less than the consumption, no matter how much gold and silver there is, it will be in vain! So Liu Kun never rushed to dig gold mines and jade mines.

For him, it is better to be able to take money out of the hands of various wealthy families than to mine hard.

Speaking of gold and silver, Liu Kun also came to the end of the Han Dynasty to know that the Han Dynasty was not short of gold.

Don't mention silver, silver is indeed very rare in the era, rarer than gold, silver in this era, the biggest role is to make utensils, silver bowls. Silver chopsticks, silver spoons, silver plates, silver jewelry, etc., silver does not circulate as money, although rare, its value is not higher than gold.

Many people in later generations did not understand, and some people wondered why there was a shortage of gold in the real society, but there was no shortage of gold in the Han Dynasty.

This is the same as the fact that there was no shortage of copper in the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, and there were many open-pit mines in ancient times, and it would not be too laborious to mine these open-pit mines.

As early as the pre-Qin period, when the country was not unified, gold artifacts were indeed rare. During this period, most of the gold artifacts unearthed were gold leaf or gilt objects.

However, from the late Warring States period, represented by the 'war of gold' of the Chu State, the Chu State and the Qi State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, because of the gold mines in the territory, have begun to mint gold coins, gold cakes, etc., and are more widely used as bulk currency.

Among them, the 'war gold' of the Chu State was found in present-day Hubei, Anhui, Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places. The gold coins of the state of Chu were not only circulated in the territory of the state of Chu at that time, but also were brought to other countries through commercial trade.

For example, in 1974, 392 pieces of gold were unearthed in Fugou Gucheng Village, Henan Province, China, with a total weight of 8,183.3 grams. The state of Chu is eye-catching for its unique square appearance.

By the Qin and Han dynasties, gold artifacts were more common.

Hanshu. The Food and Goods Chronicle records: Qin Shi Huang unified the world and stipulated that 'the currency is second-class. Gold is listed in the name of overflow. Copper coins are as good as Zhou money, Wen said; Half a tael, as heavy as the text. ’

That is to say, the currency is divided into two grades, the gold currency is the upper grade, and the copper coin is the inferior grade, that is, a large number of unearthed "Qin half tael" copper coins.

In the modern world, since the establishment of New China, 1 Qin Dynasty gold cake was unearthed in Xingping Nianliu Village, Shaanxi, with a gold content of 99%, a diameter of 5.1 cm, a weight of 260 grams, and the word "Yin" was engraved at the bottom;

In Lintong, Shaanxi Province, Wujiatun cellar unearthed 8 pieces of Qin Dynasty gold cakes, of which the original number 96 1 weight 253.5 grams, engraved with the words "benefit two halves".

Obviously, the 'benefit' here is closely related to the overflow of the Qin Dynasty's 'gold in the name of overflow', and the unearthed cultural relics and historical books are closely consistent, indicating that gold has been a legal large currency since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.

Due to the death of the second Qin Dynasty, there were not many gold coins unearthed, and by the Han Dynasty, the number and scope of gold coins unearthed were considerable.

Hanshu. Food and Goods Journal" said: "Gold is a pound of straight ten thousand dollars", the Han Dynasty gold is cast in the unit of "catty", the shape is like a cake, and a catty in the Han Dynasty is now about 250 grams. This "gold cake" was the main form of gold currency in the Han Dynasty.

The value of gold and copper is very clearly distinguished, a gold cake is about 250 grams, a five-baht copper coin is about 2.5 grams, and the weight is about 100 times, and 'one gold is ten thousand dollars', 10,000 is divided by 100, and the price of gold is about 100 times that of copper.

Reports of the excavation of gold cakes in the Han Dynasty spread to 14 provinces and cities across the country, with a total of 26 places.

Among them, there has been more than one case of gold unearthed in Xi'an and other places. The range of excavations is extremely extensive,

In 2000, the Xinhua brick factory in the northern suburbs of Xi'an found a large number of 219 Han Dynasty gold cakes during bulldozing, with an average weight of around 250 grams. This excavation accounted for more than half of the total number of unearthed, and the previously unearthed Han Dynasty gold cakes were mostly found in tombs, more than a dozen or twenty, and as few or one.

For example, 19 pieces were unearthed from the Han Tomb in Fengfengling, Hunan, 19 pieces were unearthed from the Han Tomb in Shuangrushan Mountain, Jinan, and 25 pieces of gold cakes were unearthed in Xuyi Nanzhuang, Jiangsu Province in 1982. The total number of gold cakes unearthed in the Han Dynasty has been more than 350 pieces.

In addition to the small gold coins unearthed from the Han tomb in Mancheng, each weight is about one or two in the Han system, basically in the Han system about one catty, the error is not more than 15%, the gold content is more than 90%, most of them are more than 95%.

This alludes to the statement of 'one pound of gold' in the "Food Journal", and affirms the fact that the 'gold' of the Han Dynasty is today's gold.

I believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg, in the late Han Dynasty, the family through land annexation, the world's wealth, at least eighty percent, in the hands of the family,

After the death of Emperor Ling, the war was raging, and in order to ensure that the property was not plundered by the warlords, burying it in the ground was the only feasible way.

If the members of the family can survive and stay in the era of peace, they can use them for themselves, and if the whole family is unfortunately killed, it will not be cheaper for others.

Relatively speaking, since the Han Dynasty, the open-pit mine has been mined almost, to be precise, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was almost no open-pit mine, and the later kings wanted to mine gold, the difficulty was not ordinary.

As for the statement that copper is gold, it is pure nonsense, and copper in this period, or when it is written, will be written as gold, and this gold does mean metal, money.

When the emperor rewards, if he says, reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand households!

Will this be a thousand pounds of copper? Joke! At least it is equivalent to 1000 gold goods.

Ancient gold was not as expensive as it is now, everyone buys a gold chain of tens of grams, it takes one or two thousand, and it is a little incredible to think that the Han Dynasty could spend hundreds of thousands of gold at every turn.

One catty of yellow coins made in the Han Dynasty was equal to 10,000 copper coins, and the purchasing power of 10,000 copper coins should not be surprising.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sorry, this chapter is a bit far, sorry sorry! Dadi wrote a lot of nonsense, just don't want some readers to be misled, thinking that the gold of the Han Dynasty is copper, and it is ridiculous and generous to say it!
