It is precisely because these civilians tried every means to obtain these silver coins that this empire, which was still swaying in the wind and rain because of order and even the difficulty of processing a large amount of data, has seen a slight relaxation. We also firmly believe that,

Despair is an emotion that can drive us humans completely crazy. If we don't resist fate, we will commit suicide because of hopeless resistance.

In today's modern world, there are always people from the older generation telling us that we cannot catch the swallows that live under the eaves of our homes. First of all, they are beneficial birds. Secondly, birds like swallows are not allowed to be caught.

If you are caught and lose your freedom, you will be angry to death. Of course, I feel that this may be an exaggeration of the older generation. I have never caught a swallow, so I don’t know the specific situation, but I know.

People of the older generation mean that this kind of swallow bird will die once it loses its freedom.

There are also wolves that we humans have not been able to completely tame so far. The same principle is true. Wolves like to live freely, like their own set of rules in the wolf pack, and do not like to be manipulated by anything other than the wolf pack.

Dominate. As the saying goes, a hungry wolf would rather die than surrender. This is where the saying comes from.

Of course there are more examples, we will not list them all here, just understand how important freedom is to an animal, and how terrifying dominance is to animals.

Well, the ancestors of civilian slaves in this empire are currently completely dominated, and they are absolutely dominated, so they will always resist. This is also the most fundamental factor that our current modern society has always proposed for everyone to be equal, because if

Without such management, no matter how big a country is, there will be very big drawbacks. But whether everyone is equal or everyone is unequal, there are actually drawbacks. Excessive equality will cause a country to completely lose its creativity, because there is no way to move forward.

With reference to the target, if there is complete inequality, resistance will occur first, and creativity will also be lost, because things like IQ will be lost, which means that the thinking mode will be lost, and even the ability to understand everything will be lost.

Now that we have learned so much, we can roughly understand how difficult it was for the development of the empire of our ancestors under these shortcomings. Perhaps for the pharaohs, because of the birth of the concept of silver coins, more civilian slaves

They are no longer as irritable as before and will not resist at every turn, because they can almost all get silver coins to do what they dream of. After Pharaoh learned all this, he also turned a blind eye to this matter.

One eye, after all, what the Pharaoh wanted was a surge in population, and as long as the population surged, even if the food delivered by these civilians was only half of what it once was, it would not be a big problem.

The civilian slaves seemed to have gotten a temporary respite, so they gradually began to adapt to this kind of life. There were even some civilians who, because they loved silver coins so much, spent a lot of time studying business, and now

They are already wealthy businessmen. This is the best example for other civilians. This at least gives other civilian slaves a clearer direction.

Therefore, half of the current operation of this kind of empire is due to laws and violence, and the other half is the magic of money. Even after the Pharaoh discovered this phenomenon, he actually made the most important decision. He issued a message to the entire empire.

According to the decree, in the future, things like handing over grain can be completely replaced by silver coins, that is, handing over silver coins equal to the amount of grain.

The effect of this kind of law was indeed not very good in the first year of implementation, because there were too many problems. For example, some civilians did not have silver coins in their hands, only food. Because this year they all handed over silver coins at once, which caused a large number of people.

The grain has not been turned into silver coins. No matter how powerful the wealthy businessman is, he can't turn all the grain into silver coins?

Therefore, the Pharaoh knew that there was a problem with his decree, and then made improvements. The Pharaoh ordered a special group of people to create a large amount of silver coins, and then used the silver coins to purchase grain from the Pharaoh's palace treasury. This transformed a large amount of silver coins into

flowed into the market.

If we look at what some of us think today, wasn't the Pharaoh using money to buy grain? Isn't this a loss-making business for the Pharaoh? Because these civilians were supposed to hand over the grain, but now they turned the grain into

Became money.

In fact, everyone thought wrong. The most shrewd thing about Pharaoh was to grasp this point and know that civilians and slaves would think so. But we must understand that these silver coins actually have no meaning to Pharaoh! Pharaoh is now just

He spent a lot of silver coins, which had no meaning at all, in exchange for the food he needed.

And how smart was the Pharaoh? The Pharaoh actually secretly asked some people to take out a large amount of grain from the palace's granary, and then put it into various city-states to sell silver coins. In this way, the common people would

We are even more impressed by the magic power of silver coins. After seeing this, we can say that the Pharaoh is actually too smart. He knows that myths and stories, and even basic order are not perfect, but change takes time and a lot of talent.

, the empire currently does not have these conditions at all, so the Pharaoh used silver coins that had no meaning at all to himself to capture civilian slaves, and of course also captured the nobles.

Because if the Pharaoh wanted something, he would also use silver coins to order people to buy it. But, isn't it just a matter of a word for the Pharaoh to make as many silver coins as he wants?

This was the pharaoh's wishful thinking, but the pharaoh ignored one thing. The price of silver mines has increased! The original silver mines were very cheap, but now the silver mines are used to make silver coins, so the prices of silver mines are getting higher and higher. The pharaoh said this

He was very angry, but there was no way to do it. Do we have to use coercive violence again? It was obviously not feasible, so the Pharaoh changed the silver that was originally used to make ten-dollar coins into one hundred dollars. This way

, for one hundred yuan, you can buy hundreds of silver mines that can produce the same coins.

In this way, it seems that the Pharaoh has won again? No! A big problem has arisen, because a large number of people have begun to secretly make silver coins, and they are exactly the same as the silver coins made by the Pharaoh, and it is completely impossible to distinguish them. The Pharaoh ordered people to thoroughly investigate this.

The incident was finally discovered. Some nobles purchased silver mines and then made silver coins from the silver mines. However, the Pharaoh had previously issued a decree that those who made silver coins privately would be beheaded.

And this is what the Pharaoh did this time. He killed many nobles who made silver coins, and even beheaded their families, even pregnant women. Because of this terrifying decree, this made

More people understand that silver coins really cannot be manufactured randomly, but some people just don't believe in this evil. There was an official in the judicial department who was found to be manufacturing silver coins. The Pharaoh directly sent people to have his whole family put on the spot.

Dharma.

At this point, the turmoil of randomly manufacturing silver coins has subsided a little, and the Pharaoh also began to understand that silver coins are too easy to make, so it is necessary to improve its technology, so that the true and false can be distinguished. Therefore, the Pharaoh ordered the previously collected coins to be made.

All the silver coins that came back were piled in a special place, waiting to be re-minted.

…

After the turmoil around the silver coins finally subsided, the Pharaoh did improve the sophistication of the silver coins by adding more sophisticated patterns to the patterns of the silver coins so that they would not be easy to imitate. However, imitations were still happening, and the Pharaoh had nothing to do with it.

There are better ways to deal with these things. I have been furious all day long.

Therefore, in the second year, Pharaoh suddenly issued a new decree. From now on, silver and silver coins would be calculated according to weight and purity. The only silver coins recognized as having the highest purity were the silver coins made by Pharaoh himself.

Once the Pharaoh's regulations were implemented, those who hoarded silver mines in large quantities and even made silver coins secretly suffered heavy losses, because they sold almost all their family property and other things, and then obtained the silver mines at a high price and then minted them.

Silver coins, although the price of silver mines is relatively high, no matter how you calculate it, they still have to make a profit, and as soon as the Pharaoh orders this, they will lose blood!

So this led to many nobles and officials telling Pharaoh that the new system of silver coins was not good, and demanded that the previous system be followed, and listed various factors that they thought were bad. But was Pharaoh a fool?

The Pharaoh knew that these people who said that the new system was not good had definitely hoarded a large amount of silver mines and even made a large amount of silver coins. Therefore, the Pharaoh killed these people! He was completely merciless, even one of the very big officials

, the Pharaoh ordered the guards to let him die on the steps of the palace. How angry was this?

It was also because of the overwhelming anger of the Pharaoh that the nobles and even officials in question stopped fooling around, because fooling around was a dead end, so they could only suffer this loss in order to survive. After all, there was nothing better.

There's a solution.

However, once the Pharaoh's decree comes down, it will be accepted if there are some pieces of silver or something, because its value is calculated based on weight and purity. However, whether it is nobles or officials or even civilians and slaves, this is what they like.

It is still an orthodox silver coin, because orthodox silver coins are well-made and the purity can be guaranteed. The purity of other broken silver coins cannot be guaranteed at all.

Anyway, the Pharaoh's making of silver coins in this way undoubtedly increased the cost of making his own silver coins. However, due to problems with the cost and craftsmanship of making silver coins, the number of counterfeit silver coins suddenly began to decline.

The Pharaoh was very happy to see this phenomenon. Now it can be said that after many years of various decrees and improvements on the concept of money, the Pharaoh made the concept and flow of money completely within this empire.
