Before Emperor Wu came to power, the popularity of 'alchemy' among the people had been spreading for more than two hundred years.
Since the Qin Dynasty, alchemists and sorcerers have been deceiving themselves that they have alchemy skills and can refine gold.
Moreover, the alchemists and sorcerers were not without success.
They came up with something that could fool old village women who didn't understand gold or had never studied gold.
This is something that is made through chemical means and looks somewhat similar to gold.
Detailed manufacturing processes can be found in high school textbooks of later generations.
Basically, calamine is mixed with cuprite and charcoal, and heated to about 800 degrees, and a so-called "medicinal gold" with a similar appearance is obtained.
This is what the alchemists say, and the official name is fake gold.
When Liu Che's father was on stage, he had already issued an order prohibiting "fake gold", and those who violated it would be abandoned from the market.
After Liu Che came to the throne, he also repeatedly issued edicts, announcing that "those who counterfeit gold will be cut in half, those who do not report the information, and those who hide it will be imprisoned." If the local, county and state officials uncover or arrest the criminals who made counterfeit gold, they must immediately escort them away.
Chang'an Tingwei Prison raised the level of these criminals to the same level as "treason, disrespect and disorder", and severely punished each one found.
But just like that, incidents of counterfeit gold among the people are endless.
Criminals who are keen on similar scams are like Amway and MLM groups in later generations, and they cannot be stopped at all.
If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
It is human nature to want to get rich.
Even under the rule of the Manchu and Qing dynasties in later generations, Chinese people whose thoughts and behaviors were extremely constrained could even rush to gold mining lands from all directions for the sake of wealth, regardless of the dangers of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the wind and the sun.
There are also countless people who, with the dream of getting rich, go to Nanyang and go to the United States.
Let alone now.
As long as they can make a fortune, the Han people, who have always been known for their adventurous spirit and boldness, may even dare to venture into America. The premise is that they know the location of America, have a ship that can cross the ocean, and have a successful example.
.
Historically, during the Emperor Wu Dynasty, there was an endless stream of Han envoys who followed the road opened by Zhang Qian and traveled to and from the Western Regions and even more distant countries in West Asia. This is evidence of this.
As for now, in Shu County, there have been several waves of people dreaming of going to Shendu to search for the golden country, the paradise flowing with milk and honey, and the world of the Fountain of Youth.
This is spontaneous among the people...
Although most of them basically went as far as the Dian Kingdom, they turned back because the road was difficult and they had no guides and did not understand the language.
However, if they continue like this, maybe they can really open up land transportation from Yunnan to India.
There are even people who sneak out of the Great Wall. They risk being caught by the Huns and go home as studs, hoping to go to India...
Yunzhong County reported several similar incidents...
These unlucky guys were all used by the Huns as bargaining chips.
Yi Zong had to pay the price of an iron pot per person to redeem these fools.
But before being redeemed, these fools were used by the Huns as breeding machines for female slaves for two or three months...
This made Liu Che dumbfounded after hearing the news.
There was no other way, so Liu Che had no choice but to send these idiots to Shangjun and Daiguo to grow cotton. They would not be allowed to go home until they had been growing cotton for five years.
"Citizens with such an adventurous spirit and boldness..." Liu Che thought to himself: "What would they do if they suddenly knew that there are many places in Huaihua County and North Korea that can produce gold and carry out gold mining?"
The picture of the western development in the history of the American Empire appeared in Liu Che's mind.
Cowboys on horses, gold diggers in boots, and countless Uncle Sams headed west with dreams of getting rich.
They do all kinds of evil and are lawless.
But they turned the originally desolate western part of the United States into a white man's world.
The number of local Indians decreased rapidly. In just a century, the Indians could only stay in protected areas.
And what if this scene appeared in the Han Dynasty at this moment?
A ranger on horseback, carrying a long sword, short sword and a crossbow?
A poor farmer with his family and wearing straw sandals?
There are also the ‘heroes’ who gathered from all corners of the world, smelling the smell of blood.
Just thinking about this scene, Liu Che couldn't help but groan in comfort all over his body.
What does a cold climate mean?
As long as the people of the Foodie Empire can fill their bellies, cultivate land, and feed their children, there will be people who even go to Siberia.
In the middle of nowhere, what a piece of shit!
The Han Dynasty currently has a registered population of about 50 million.
One percent is half a million!
Among the world's population, there are probably a million or more knights, "heroes" who practice plagiarism, and "hammers" who specialize in beating sap in the wild.
This gang of uncles were lawless in the mainland counties, stealing and stealing, even killing people and stealing goods, robbing and raping, causing local officials a huge headache.
But if they go to Huaihua, Xinhua and North Korea.
He immediately changed from a scumbag to a pillar of the imperial court and the cornerstone of the country.
There are even more lazy people, dreamers who dream of getting rich all of a sudden. In order to get rich, these guys even risk being relegated to the rank of "Ghost Salary City Dan" to build the earth and become the son-in-law of others.
If you are willing to do it, let alone Xinhua, Huaihua and North Korea.
Isn't it just a cold spot? It's better than repairing the earth and dying at the foot of the Great Wall, right?
And what would those farmers who have been desperate and forced to sell themselves as slaves to others think if they hear rumors that even fools can pick up gold in Xinhua, Huaihua, and North Korea?
"As long as people pass by, I'm not afraid that they won't stay..." Liu Che tapped his fingers in thought. "I originally planned to immigrate millions of people from Xinhua to Huaihua to North Korea..."
"However, the people of the world are reluctant to leave their homeland. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they are unwilling to go to the cold and desolate wilderness..."
"If we follow normal methods and manage it for decades or even hundreds of years, these sites will be almost impossible to digest..."
"I can't wait for decades, let alone hundreds of years!" Liu Che thought of this and made up his mind: "The longer the time goes, the greater the variables will be. What's more, I can't live another hundred years!"
Among the emperors of the past dynasties, except for the foolish emperor Qianlong, who could live to be eighty years old?
Even if you are sixty years old, you already have a "longevity".
For Liu Che, he hopes that on the day he leaves, this country can be said to have established the foundation of a thousand-year empire. Even if the descendants are unworthy, the dynasty will be able to rule the world again and challenge the world.
And with the Northeast, Far East and North Korea, all land threats from the northeast can be eliminated.
It can even turn neon into a real ten thousand year old boy. Qiangu rbq.
China, which occupies the Korean peninsula, can train and teach it non-stop three hundred and sixty-five days a year, so that it knows what a father's love is like a mountain.
The plot of Ghost Father can be filmed from the 1st generation to the n+ generation...
When I was thinking like this, Xuanshi Palace had already arrived.
When Liu Che stepped off the cart, Wang Dao immediately panted and reported: "Your Majesty, Marquis Fenyin and Zhi Jinwu are waiting in the side hall!"
Liu Che nodded, put his hand on the sword at his waist, and strode forward.
No one knows what Liu Che talked about with Xiuyiwei Commander Fenyin Marquis Zhou Zuoche and Zhijin Wuzhi on that day.
However, that night, a certain rumor or hearsay spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
By the next morning, even the old ladies in Chang'an City knew about this matter.
"Have you heard?" Countless people mysteriously pulled their neighbors and whispered quietly: "An incredible thing was discovered over there in Xinhua, a golden mountain..."
"I heard that Bo Shi, the governor of Huaihua County and the commander of Xinhua County, sent three thousand people!" Someone emphasized the number: "I heard it clearly, it's three thousand people! They went to Jinshan to pick up gold. They spent three days picking it up.
It took three nights to pick up so much, even the carriage shafts of the carriage transporting the gold were crushed..."
As these guys said this, they were drooling and imagining such a scene.
With their knowledge and vision, they simply cannot imagine such a scene.
"Brother, your news is wrong..." The original audience also said mysteriously: "I heard Wang Dalang from Dongsanli say that his uncle's cousin's wife's uncle was an errand in the palace, and what he heard
He said, there is no gold mountain at all...it is just a river, but there is a lot of gold sand in the river. It is said that the river has hundreds of miles of sand, which is full of sand with gold sand. Just a fool, get a sieve.
You can get a few taels of placer gold by sifting by the river for a day!"
"And..." the man said triumphantly: "It doesn't matter which river it is. It is said that in Xinhua, North Korea also has a newly established river in Huaihua. There are also many similar river sections, but there are still many river sections.
It’s just that it wasn’t discovered…”
All kinds of rumors and legends spread all over Chang'an immediately.
True or false, or absurd or bizarre things are also mixed into these stories.
By the afternoon, these stories appeared: 'The Holy Emperor has unparalleled benevolence and virtue. He is inspired by the heaven and the earth, and Taiyi has spiritual power. He sends down supernatural powers to bring new changes to the mountains and rivers of Korea. He blesses the Han Dynasty, and gold comes out of the river sand.
, the land produces oil.' and other versions
The alchemists were not willing to be left alone and jumped out immediately.
So, the story changed again.
On the basis of the original version, the alchemists and magicians added personal items one after another, and carried out extensive artistic processing to make the story more in line with their respective interests.
So, when these stories reached Huayin and Xinfeng, the people in Guanzhong said one after another: "You are so bragging, do your parents know?"
And the princes also said: "You people in the market, are you bored? We, the princes, don't know about such things. How do you know? Don't spread rumors!"
But at night, these guys used various methods to cross the sea and try their best to get to Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
Regardless of the means or methods, everyone blinked their bright eyes and looked at Liu Che pitifully.
There are princes who have a close relationship with the royal family.
For example, the guys surnamed Liu shyly ran to Liu Che with their own Gaen map, and asked cutely: "Your Majesty, are there any rivers in these places sealed by my family?"
When he got the answer that there was indeed a river, the man immediately thanked him with joy.
But when they learned that there was no river, they started crying and rolling around, acting like if the emperor doesn't change it for me, I will go to the high temple to cry.
Those who are relatively distant from the royal family look like serious gentlemen. They just secretly grab a close official of the emperor, such as a eunuch or a minister, and stuff them with a few jade or gold objects, and then
, requested with a respectful attitude: "Please help Mr. Ming check whether there is a river in Mr.'s Ji'en fiefdom?"
There was an episode during which Wu Yuan Houwei found out that his Jiaen fiefdom seemed to be the closest distance to the newly discovered Jinsha River, which was less than three hundred miles away.
Then, Wei Buhai was immediately surrounded by people.
At least twenty princes said that their daughters had been waiting for a long time, and they felt that Wei Junhou was young and promising and seemed to be a good match.
Poor Lao Wei's family used to be just a family of feudal lords who lived and died, and they were always unknown.
As for Wei Buhao's generation, almost no one cares about it. Even now that Wei Buhao is eighteen years old, he has not yet married a wife. Liehous are proud of them, and they generally will not marry non-liehous, especially those who are not.
She is the head wife. If she cannot marry a princess named Liu, then she must at least marry a well-matched marquis. The minimum standard must be a Guannei marquis, a concubine or something like that...
Many people even look down on the daughter of two thousand stones.
But if Wei is not good, he is not handsome, and his family does not have much money.
Wuyuan is a remote and remote area in the south. Although there are 2,800 households, there is no money. Even the rent and taxes of 1,000 households cannot be collected a year.
The legitimate daughter of a prince's family looked down upon him at all.
Only concubines and the like can be discussed.
But Wei Buhai didn't want to give in, so the matter was postponed.
But now, Wei Buhao suddenly became the most popular one.
Even Quzhou Houliji and Gonggaohou Han Daidang said that it was not impossible to discuss things like a legitimate daughter.
However, after getting married, it is your daughter who is in charge of the family...
Wei Buhai suddenly felt that his life had suddenly turned into a comedy...
And the princes who have a closer relationship with Liu Che.
For example, Guantao came to the door himself.
Guantao said that he wanted to ask for a favor from the emperor's son-in-law for his husband and two sons.
Well, actually it's not a big deal, it's just asking the emperor's son-in-law to exchange for the land of grace.
It's best to move the place fifty miles away from the "Jinsha River". Of course, Baili can barely be considered.
Waiting for Liu Che to finally get rid of Liu whoring.
The Dou family and the Bo family also said: Your Majesty, it is very important for the door to be open and equal treatment. Your Majesty, you must not chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men.
Even the two empress dowagers of the East Palace sent people to convey a message: Emperor, family ties are very important, and the power of the family is as big as heaven! (To be continued.)
