Chapter 290: Lingyi Terracotta Warriors

Wang Ke did not forcibly withdraw the right to mint coins, but he issued an edict to discount the bad coins, stipulating that the people could collect the bad coins at a discount.

According to Wang Luo's big and a half taels set that year, seven cents of copper, two and five cents of tin, and half a cent of lead were required. But a lot of bad money will reduce the copper content and increase the ratio of tin to lead. Some will deliberately increase the amount of lead in order to increase weight.

Wang Ke directly calculated the color of these bad coins by fifty percent, and according to the fifty percent discount, these coins are equivalent to two coins in exchange for one good money.

And the minting of bad coins is usually four parts of copper, four parts of tin and two points of lead, if the copper is less, the money minted is not strong, and even broken with force, plus the fire consumption of casting, so calculated, the minting of bad coins not only does not make money, but also loses money.

How could the states and counties and Haoqiang mint bad coins again.

Wang Ke's edict was issued to all parts of the country, which immediately caused an uproar in the world.

Handan, in a large manor outside the city.

"Bang!" A roll of bamboo slips was slammed to the ground, and the bamboo slips were scattered all over the ground.

"Fifty percent of the color, this is our life! Unacceptable! The middle-aged man next to him said menacingly.

The middle-aged man sitting in the first seat didn't even look at him, and said calmly: "Recycle those bad coins that have not yet been circulated, and recast them with copper!" ”

"Five million bad coins, if they are reminted, we will lose a lot! How much more copper does this have to be put in? ”

"Why don't you forcibly put these bad coins on a showdown according to good money?"

"If you want to die, don't pull me along!"

At the same time, a similar scene has also appeared in other parts of Daqian. Now that the great cadres are at their peak, even if they are dissatisfied, they do not dare to oppose it.

Luoyang City became more and more prosperous, and the clear river meandered on the land, gurgling water flowing out of the mountain stream, and finally merging into a set of large rivers through Luoyang City.

Luoshui runs through this land, and the abundant river water irrigates this rich land, where hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City farm.

Wang Ke looked at the Yellow River not far away, the water of the turbulent river flowed through, and at his feet was Beibi Mountain, where the mausoleum of his father Wang Luo was.

"Your Majesty, the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu has been completed, and the burial pit has also been lined up with eight thousand pottery people and horses according to your requirements!" A chamberlain stepped forward and whispered.

"Hmm!" Wang Ke immediately went to the mausoleum.

There were no gold and silver jewels in Wang Luo's funeral goods, except for some bronze ritual vessels and bamboo slips, only these 8,000 soldiers' terracotta figurines.

To make these terracotta figurines, Wang Ke drew thousands of craftsmen and took years to complete. All the terracotta figurines are life-size, and they are even very beautiful in color.

Eight thousand terracotta figurines are divided into three phalanxes, which look very mighty. The three phalanxes were completely arranged in accordance with the battle formation of the Great Qianyu Lin Wei and the Tengjia Army, and the 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses were formed in a row, which looked mighty and domineering, and shocked people's hearts.

After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Ke ordered the landfill to seal the soil. What he didn't know was that the terracotta figurines buried today would be called the 'Eight Wonders of the World' and 'World Cultural Heritage' two thousand years later.

With the fall of the sealed soil, Wang Luo's Zhaoling was officially completed.

"Has the city outside Zhaoling been repaired?" Wang Ke asked.

"Your Majesty, it's been repaired!" The master craftsman said respectfully.

"Immediately decree that the nobles of the six countries will move to Zhaoling to protect their father's tomb!"

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, when they heard Wang Ke's edict, the ministers of the DPRK and China were also a little frightened.

The emperor's edict can be said to be a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, directly transferring the rich families of the world here, those powerful people were relocated, and the land left behind was nationalized and then redistributed to the poor. And after these rich and powerful people were relocated here, they really lost their hair and the phoenix was not as good as a chicken.

Wang Ke's edict soon spread to all parts of the world, and for a time everyone in the world was in danger. Wang Ke's demarcation of the rich is more than 3 million yuan, how to calculate? Quite simply, according to the size of the field.

Families with more than 5,000 acres of farmland have absolutely more than 3 million yuan in their families.

In order to be able to move the tomb smoothly, Wang Ke ordered the army to be dispatched, and the local officials and inspectors forcibly moved the rich families from each county to Zhaoling.

The originally desolate Zhaoling soon became prosperous, and more importantly, these wealthy families were migrated and brought with them a lot of wealth, and these people came here without food and clothing, so they could only buy with money. The copper coins that had been hidden in the cellar were taken out and spent.

A large amount of copper coins poured into the market, and Luoyang's economy immediately became active. With the active economy, all kinds of commodities from all over the world have begun to converge in Luoyang. The fact that the Lingyi system inadvertently promoted economic prosperity was also a bonus.

The rich households of the big cadres have the habit of saving, and every big family does not have a money cellar, and they are embarrassed to say that they are strong.

It can be said that most of the materials such as grain and cloth can be produced by themselves, and there are not many things that need to be purchased, and as a result, a large number of copper coins will be accumulated, and these copper coins will be hidden in the money cellar by the powerful people.

Originally, the amount of copper coins on the market was not enough, and these powerful people had to hide the copper coins in the cellar, which caused the already small amount of money to become less.

Wang Luo's mausoleum system was to force these people to spend their money.

The imperial court collects taxes, and in order to take care of the people, it collects grain and cloth in kind. As a result, each tax requires a lot of manpower and material resources to be transported, which is very expensive.

In fact, there have been ministers who have written for a long time that they can collect money for collecting taxes.

It's just that this advice was vetoed by Wang Luo because of the lack of coins. However, Wang Luo also ordered that taxes could be paid in kind or money.

Not long ago, another minister wrote to Wang Ke that he would collect taxes and collect money directly, but Wang Ke also refused.

Wang Ke is very clear about the urine nature of these people, and the minister wrote that it is convenient to collect copper money, and it will not be lost like grain, and if you want food or other materials, you can just spend money to buy it.

Wang Ke directly scolded him, saying that he had ill intentions. If the state collects all the copper coins from taxes, there is a shortage of copper coins in the world, and the ordinary people do not have much in their hands, only those wealthy and powerful households have them, and the people can only sell grain and cloth far below the market price to those wealthy and powerful households.

This is a disguised help for the powerful households to exploit the people, and at the same time, the state can only buy materials from the big households, and the price is not cheap.

What's more, Haoqiang has a large amount of food, but the country does not, and as long as there is a little turmoil at that time, the imperial court will have no food available.

This person deserves to be punished!

Wang Ke didn't have his father's good temper, so he was directly dismissed from office.
