In primitive society, it may be just a confrontation between bone sticks and wooden sticks.

In the feudal era, it entered the fight between bronze and iron.

So for a time traveler, is war just a matter of two sides forming an array and riding a horse and killing?

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to the time traveler?

In Feiqian, currency war is also war.

"Coins are the manifestation of the economic rise and fall of a country. Since ancient times, when a country is prosperous, the currency will prosper, the money will be good, the meat will be strong, and the people will want to accept it. When a country is declining, the money will be exhausted, the money will be bad, and the skin will be bad, and the people will abandon it."

"Money is the medium of exchange. The system of money is the method of regulating circulation. The two complement each other and help the world to use it."

Fei Qian sat in the hall, and under his steps, there were shining newly released coins, even with the smell of the God of Wealth.

Of course, it's more about scattering money...

"However, the price of money is not fixed. When the market is needed, the price will be high, when the war is turbulent, the price will be low. Therefore, the ancients were confused and thought that the amount of money is considered as the basis, but it is actually wrong."

"The currency of a country should be like a sword and a gun. If you do not know its disadvantages, you will also suffer. Therefore, those who govern should judge the situation and determine the currency to protect the prosperity of the country."

Fei Qian said slowly.

For many people in Pingyang, especially Xun Chen and Sima Yi, Fei Qian will be entrusted with it.

As a native of Hanoi, Sima Yi was martyred with his younger brother. No matter what, he has proved himself that he will definitely have a place among the officials who will serve as Shandong in the future.

As a counselor who defected to Fei Qian earlier, although Xun Chen made a mistake, after all, he has been in Pingyang for so many years, and has been responsible for all logistics matters without a single complaint. It is also time to give him another chance.

Therefore, Xun Chen and Sima Yi were naturally shortlisted among the candidates who could potentially promote economic system changes in Shandong and change the history of China's currency.

China's currency is actually an invisible one that lasts for thousands of years, but it just fails to use a good killer weapon.

In the long history of Chinese currency, China was a currency maker in Asia from ancient times to modern times before it was destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. I won’t talk about it in the Han Dynasty. There are all friendly countries around the country, one of which is counted as one, and they are all younger brothers, and there is not even a serious currency.

As a result, the Han Wuzhu coins were used for use in various surrounding countries in vain, without any effect of the currency machete they deserved.

By the Tang Dynasty, the scope of application of Chinese copper coins was even more expanded. The Dongwu market was basically circulated with Tang coins, and the money minted by Daming was despised. As for the dead ducks, they were only stubborn and stubborn. No matter how much they denied it, they could not erase the fact that they had no decent monetary system at all.

Economic development after the Song Dynasty caused the demand for money in the Song Dynasty to increase dramatically, and its impact on neighboring countries was even more far-reaching. The Ming Dynasty's silver currency usage rate was the highest in the world. A large amount of silver in the Americas flowed into China, and then turned into silk and porcelain to flow to the West...

It is unimaginable that China wants to expand to every corner of the world without the support of the monetary system. In the vast territory, the accents must be different and the habits are also very different. However, as long as the same currency is used, there is a possibility of communication and communication.

『There are three coins: gold, platinum, and red gold.』 Fei Qian pointed to the currency in front of him and said, "However, the people often condone this title and do not know what it means, so they should be called new... Gold is called gold, platinum is called silver, and red gold is called copper. This is a law to distinguish it."

In the Shuowen Jiezi, there is an explanation of "silver and platinum".

As for later platinum, according to the current technological level of the Han Dynasty, it is basically impossible to extract it.

Silver was first excluded from currency by China...

"The road to agricultural, industrial and commercial transactions is clear, so there are coins from turtles, shells, gold, coins, swords and cloths to prosper. This is the need of the people, like the flowing water of mountains and congestion and cannot be congested." Fei Qian said slowly, "Qin is in the world, and the coins of the six countries are second-class. Gold is named after the kilograms, and copper coins are as qualities as Zhou coins. The text is called half a liang, and the weight is as heavy as literature. The pearls, jade, turtles, shells, silver and tin are decorations of objects, not coins."

It was a very long process for silver to go from being a currency to becoming a huge legal currency circulating. It can be said that it was not until the Ming Dynasty that silver was officially monetized in China and even became the silver standard.

The reason for this is actually related to the unification of China.

China's unification promoted the unification of currency, but hindered the development of the monetary system to some extent.

In the West, because of the numerous feudal countries, the kings in a country can formulate what kind of currency and what value they are, but they cannot make their own currency equally recognized in other countries. Therefore, the only currency that can be accepted by many countries is precious metals. In comparison, the unified China has slowed down in the monetary system. After all, the unified national system can easily decide "to be ten", "straight hundred", or even "five thousand of big money".

If Fei Qian does not intervene, then the subsequent feudal dynasty of China will most likely be reincarnated between inflation and deflation. Every time the court encounters currency problems, it only wants to cut the people's leeks, and then it will be robbed again and again. At this time, the great gentry will take advantage of the situation to rob, mint private money or hoard goods, causing the country's economy to collapse rapidly, and then fall into the quagmire and enter a vicious cycle until the end of the dynasty.

Fei Qian wanted to promote banknotes in his early days, but this thing was indeed too advanced, so now it can only degenerate into a heavy metal monetary system, and it has also been recognized by most areas of the Han Dynasty. In fact, this is like the period of Western feudal states. Because of constant disputes in various places, transactions between countries can only be traded with precious metals that the public agrees.

There were good things in Guanzhong, and everywhere wanted them, but they came to Guanzhong with Wuzhu coins but refused. Therefore, the cemetery princes and gentry in the Han Dynasty could only pinch their noses to recognize the money for the Western Expedition and the cavalry, and then they became accustomed to the current monetary system.

Of course, in this link, the most important point is that Fei Qian even once paid money to promote the use of currency. The princes in various places had not thought about private minting, but the cost was there, which made private minting unable to make money, which relatively reduced the possibility of imitation.

Now, at the moment when the great man who recognized precious metals, Fei Qian was waiting for the time to completely promote the huge ship of currency. With the further improvement of coin minting technology, the time has come to further determine the Chinese monetary system...

Fei Qian took a step forward, grabbed a handful of gold, silver and copper coins, and then threw them back.

"The foundation of enriching the people lies in food and goods."

"Food is the yield of agriculture."

"Good is a worker."

"And if you make the food the same, you will be a merchant."

"Those who make merchants turn the world are coins."

"When Dayu controls floods, it is better to drain them than to block them. Money is like flowing water. Who can block them?"

Fei Qian stood in the hall, with shining currency under his feet. "Now the Western Regions Agreement is probably coming to Xu County, right?"

Fei Qian smiled, "If Cao's family is defeated... If You, Zhongda, why not discuss the ransom in Shandong with the precedent of Shanshan?"

After hearing this, Xun Chen and Sima Yi's expressions became extremely cautious in the hall...

The words of the General of the Cavalry sounded ordinary, but after thinking about it carefully, my heart was thrilled, this...

What does it mean?
