Chapter 1522:Weighing the Pros and Cons

In addition to the trump card, the Han Chamber now holds many good cards that can be played.

This includes salt and tea.

As early as the beginning of the war of Yanji last year, when Xia Yi went to Longcheng, Liu Cher had already ordered the loyal Yongjun and the Lou Anxie Army to completely control the famous salt producing areas in the southern region of the sun.

In the northern steppe, the salt shortage is very strong.

At present, only a few salt farms are under the control of the Han Chamber.

If they want to eat salt, they get Dragon City to buy it.

Salt is a source of life for both herders and their livestock.

Without salt, all animals and animals will get sick!

As for the tea...

Anyone familiar with the habits of nomads will be aware of the importance of this magical plant-based drink for the nomadic people of the North.

Without tea, herders may not die, but it will certainly be hard!

Controlling salt and tea is equivalent to controlling the weakness of many tribes.

In addition, Chinese-made corn and wheat and wine are also commodities that can currently influence the tribes of the Han Dynasty.

As for the luxury of iron pot, it has been sought after by the Huns since the beginning of the three years of Yuande.

Liu Chen heard that having an iron pot and a kitchen knife, among the Huns ministries, is a symbol of status.

Thinking so, Liu Cher knocked a few questions: "Maybe you can also join the five baht money..."

The five baht money cast in the Han chamber, because of its exquisite appearance, moderate weight, and very high copper content, is not only sought after and trusted by the Han family's subjects.

Even the three-way and south-west razed, but also the wind.

As for the Huns, Liu Cher has also heard that there is a story of a Huns who trade with Hanjiajie City and insists on five cents of money.

In between, the five baht money is like a hurricane, sweeping the world.

In just eight or nine years, it has occupied the top spot in credit money.

Unfortunately, the circulation of the five baht money has always been a big problem.

China's serious shortage of copper is in fact, making the annual copper production far less than the speed of currency increase.

Last year's copper ingot production was even less than 20% of the new currency!

This is embarrassing.

In order to make money, the young house is almost crazy.

If it were not for the big gifts from the Qilu Five and the Changan Bureaucracy, I am afraid that now, Liu She, the young provincial secretary, has gone crazy.

"Continue to increase the amount of gold five baht casting..." Liu Cher calculated in his heart.

Since the four years of the Golden Five baht, Jin Wuzhu has gone through the bumpy and arduous road.

Unlike the five baht money, China has never had any gold and silver currency in circulation since ancient times.

Gold has been regarded as a precious metal rather than a general equivalent for the past millennium.

The Qin Han generation, although began to pay attention to the role of gold.

However, its circulation has always been limited to the nobles.

Until the Battle of Ma Yi, the Shaofu cast the first batch of one million gold and five baht, as a reward for the officer's pawn.

Liu Che thought that this would make a good start and lay the foundation for the circulation of gold money.

But what do you know, he almost threw a stone and smashed his feet - most of the soldiers and officers, after getting the golden five baht, did not use it to consume, but like the landlord's old wealth, dug these yellow orange cute little love to hide.

Moreover, most people's idea is that after their own death, let their children and grandchildren bring these golden five bahts into the coffin as a funeral product for him...

This really made Liu Xue almost vomiting blood.

He racked his brain, tried his best, from the hand of the Minister, a little bit out, intending to be the gold of the reserve of the future gold standard currency, and in the end, still could not escape the fate of the funeral...

At that time, Liu Che almost wanted to give up the idea of continuing to issue gold five baht.

Fortunately, he gritted his teeth.

And continue to expand and increase the circulation of gold pentavalent.

Four years, a full year, the Han chamber only cast a million gold five baht, costing about eight thousand gold (in theory, gold can only cast ninety-six five baht of money, perhaps even less, but in the casting process, hollowed out the mind to the gold five baht mixed with all kinds of impurities, in fact, today's gold five baht in the doped impurities doped about 30%).

Five years, in order to pay the reward and reward of the battle of Gao Yan, the province once again cast more than 200 gold and five baht, and in addition to that year, due to the reduction of the five baht money, in order to pay wages, Liu Cheryi cast an additional two million gold and five baht for the official salary.

In the six years and one year of Yuande, the gold five baht casting volume of the Shaoyuan has reached an unprecedented six million!

And this year is only ten months, the amount of gold five baht casting has reached 7 million!

The huge gold and baht stock finally makes this high-end currency have the circulation market and conditions.

At least in Chang'an and Liyang, merchants began to use the gold five baht in their daily transactions.

People are also exposed to this gold currency.

People are beginning to accept and be willing to use it.

At this point, Han Chamber's gold standard strategy finally took a solid first step.

“Next, it’s the neon gold mine that’s developed...” Liu Che calculated in his heart that the Neon Islands, for the current period, for the Han Chamber, the only use value, perhaps the land of this archipelago, those precious metals that were brought to the surface from the depths of the earth because of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other reasons.

However, the development of neon gold mining resources has made Liu Chen unable to finally make up his mind.

Because he knows very well that neon gold is cute, but in the neon river water, there is a huge devil - schistosomes!

In fact, the schistosomiasis in the Han Chamber is brought back from the neon who is not known.

Archaeological evidence for future generations, before the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was no schistosomiasis in China.

One day after the beginning of the Han Dynasty, suddenly, there was a schistosomiasis.

In the following decades, the terrible parasite multiplied rapidly, occupying vast water networks in the Wuyue region and spreading with human activity.

Fortunately, Liu Chen found out in time, has ordered the schistosomiasis-heavy areas such as Jiangdu to start to eliminate and control these terrible parasites.

The throttle of oleander planting, like a blaze, is in full swing.

Thousands of oleanders are planted with fields and ponds and rivers.

Every summer and autumn, the leaves and fruits of the oleander fall into the water, killing a large number of screws.

This terrible disease began to be initially controlled.

But to eliminate it requires further advances in medical technology, or at least to develop drugs that specifically target the parasite and its host.

Liu Chen did not want to, he was so hard to limit schistosomiasis.

The result is to give up the work of a little bit of gold.

That's too bad!
