Of course, this money must first flow before it can be considered wealth. Otherwise, will it rot in the warehouse?
However, it is not easy to make five baht coins circulate.
First of all, the five-baht coin is a new thing, and Chinese people have always been conservative. Sometimes they would rather suffer a loss than try new things easily. Only when they see real benefits in front of them will they
Will be swarmed.
Secondly, the issuance of currency relied on the banking industry in later generations, but today it relies on the government. Only when the government determines that your money can be used as taxes can your money be circulated.
So what kind of money is legal and circulated in the eyes of the government?
There is a clear stipulation on this in the "Han Code": The diameter of the money is more than ten inches and eight inches. Although it lacks a penny, the article is quite wise, and it is not special or lead money. It is all money. Those who dare to choose not to take the money,
The fine is four taels.
This means that as long as it looks like money and is no less than eight cents in diameter, even if the surface of the copper coin has been worn, as long as you can still see the inscription on the coin and it is not broken or is entirely made of lead, it is a legal coin.
The government will treat all copper coins equally, and anyone who dares to refuse to accept copper coins that meet the standards will be fined four taels.
But if it was really that simple, Liu De would snicker.
At the time of the late Emperor, almost half of the copper coins circulating in the world were minted by King Wu Liu Bi, and the other half were minted by Deng Tong.
Coins minted by other merchants hardly entered the mainstream and rarely entered circulation. Most of them were only circulated in the local counties where the merchants were located, and few of them traveled across the country.
Why?
If you can't even see through this, Liu De will live three lives in vain.
Collusion between government and businessmen and local protectionism. Only a stronger power can smash the shells of these two turtles.
If Liu De is the prince at this time and uses the name of the prince to issue five baht coins, at least no one in Guanzhong would dare to make a stumbling block.
Unfortunately he is not.
Liu De has no doubt that as soon as five baht coins enter circulation, they will soon encounter various attacks.
It’s easy to reject it!
The merchants in Guanzhong are even capable of providing loan sharks to the imperial court, so what else can they not dare to do?
Even if something goes wrong, it's just a matter of handing over a few scapegoats to take the blame.
Human life? In the eyes of businessmen, it is just a number.
After walking around the yard for a few times with the five-baht money, Liu De suddenly thought of something, but hesitated rather hesitantly: "If this is the case, will future generations say that I look too ugly? The initiator,
Does it have no consequences?"
But when he thought that he couldn't do anything without money, Liu De stamped his feet: "That's it, I will bear all the evils in this world!"
Thinking of this, Liu De picked up the box of five baht coins, got on the carriage, and rushed to the palace.
After entering Weiyang Palace, Liu De went straight to Qingliang Palace, but was told that the emperor had already moved to Linyuan to watch the beasts with the Queen Mother.
As a last resort, Liu De had no choice but to divert to Shanglin Garden.
When passing by Princess Guantao's residence, Liu De had an idea and went in to invite Princess Liu Piao and Chen Ajiao to go to Shanglin Garden with him. Of course, the slogan was, 'I haven't been close to my aunt for a long time, so I specially invite my aunt to go with me.
Linyuan'.
It is natural for Liu to engage in prostitution.
So, the aunt and nephew took two cars and arrived at Shanglin Garden in the southeast of Chang'an.
Shanglin Garden is a Qin Dynasty palace complex that survived the war in the late Qin Dynasty. It was built in the 35th year of Qin Shihuang. At that time, the famous Afang Palace was just the front hall of Shanglin Garden. The entire Shanglin Garden was
The Qin Dynasty stretched for hundreds of miles, including the glorious and magnificent Afang Palace, as well as vast hunting grounds and animal pens housing various beasts.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, a war broke out and burned down Afang Palace and most of the palaces in the Qin Dynasty.
But there are survivors.
The Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace of the Han Dynasty were both built on the ruins of the palaces of the Qin Dynasty. As for Shanglin Garden, although the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty burned down most of the buildings in this huge royal garden in the past, some remnants were left.
buildings and various planned gardens.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He partially restored and renovated Shanglin Garden in line with his prudent approach to governance. During the period of Empress Lu, some maintenance was carried out again. To this day, although Shanglin Garden has not yet restored its former heyday scale.
, but it can also be regarded as the best royal garden in the world.
How big was Shanglin Garden at this time?
Ban Gu, a later generation, once said in "Ode to Xijing": The wall stretches around for more than four hundred miles.
Of course, that was the scale after subsequent expansions by the three generations of Liu Che, Liu Fuling, and Liu Xun. The current Shanglin Garden is not as long as 400 miles, but it is still more than 200 miles long, spanning the entire southern part of the Weishui River.
Most of the plains and hills on the south bank of the Wei River are included in its scope, and even the Chan River and the Ba River flow through Shanglinyuan.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty and his concubines, concubines, queen mothers, princes, and princes and kings who came to court would go to Shanglin Garden to hunt, shoot arrows, or watch the rare and exotic animals in captivity when they had free time on weekdays.
Countless allusions and stories happened in Shanglin Garden.
Even the Yulin Guards of Liu Che, who later became a powerful and invincible figure in the world, were trained from the hunting ground of Shanglin Garden. Huo Qubing, the genius of the generation, spent most of his childhood and youth in Shanglin Garden.
Generally speaking, if Liu De becomes the prince in the future, in addition to being listed as a prince in Weiyang Palace, he will also have an independent site in Shanglin Garden to place his subordinates and train them.
Confidence, exercise ability.
For example, Liu De's cheap father had a Sixian Garden in Shanglin Garden. Later Liu Che also built a Bowang Garden for his prince Liu Ju. In his previous life, Liu Rong also had a Yichun Garden, but it was a pity that he failed to live up to his expectations.
…
For the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it seems that it is never a problem if the prince's ability is too great, but it is the prince's lack of ability that is fatal!
For example, Liu Rong in the previous life, and later Liu Che's son Liu Zhi, both failed because of their insufficient abilities and failed to satisfy the emperor.
Otherwise, given the staunchness of the Han emperor, if he were a qualified heir, it would be impossible to kill his mother and save his son!
Liu De's carriage followed Liu Prostitute's carriage and drove straight into Shanglin Garden. On both sides of the road, there were green trees, fragrant grass, and butterflies flying among the flowers from time to time. On the hillside in the distance, Liu De even saw
I came across a turtle lying down in the bamboo forest and eating bamboo leaves.
China is now in a warm period and has a subtropical climate. This can be proved by the arrogant appearance of Gungun in Shanglin Garden and the citrus trees planted on both sides of the road.
But Liu De also knew that such good days would not last for decades, and a new round of the Little Ice Age was quietly approaching.
When Liu De was still an otaku, he once saw an article on the Internet about the relationship between the rise and fall of dynasties and the Little Ice Age. He vaguely remembered that after Zhaoxuan, China would be fully affected by the Little Ice Age, with droughts and falling temperatures.
, diseases are rampant, and there is a terrible locust plague!
If you don’t plan for the eternity, you won’t be able to plan for the moment. You must start making preparations!
Prepare to overhaul reservoirs and build channels extensively. Only with a sufficient number of large, medium and small reservoirs can we survive the disasters caused by the harsh Little Ice Age.
At the same time, we must also start to encourage the development of the south, especially Huguang, to build it into a land of plenty.
Liu De knew very well that if he wanted to do these things, he must first be the emperor!
