The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 Start of the Gold, Silver and Copper Project

"Look at this Orchid, this waist, this chest!" In Chang'an City, many people were watching the slaves escorted by Xiahou Dun.Of course, those who say such things are basically the children of officials and eunuchs.

The appearance of the Hu people in the Western Regions is quite different from that of the Han people, so many people just watched the fun.However, the children of officials and eunuchs are considering whether to buy orchids to go back. I heard that in the former Han Dynasty, many families raised orchids, but no one has been able to do this in the past hundred years. Double face.

The aristocratic families began to set their sights on the Western Regions, with a long-term vision, and began to consider how much they should invest in the Western Regions, or even the legendary India, in exchange for long-term benefits.

A truly sensible person is considering sending a collateral descendant to Chudi.Although it was only a matter of time before the imperial court conquered Hebei and even destroyed Yuan Shao, the imperial court also became very empty because of this war.

The population problem is the real problem. The lack of population has led to a serious shortage of soldiers. Well-connected families have learned that the imperial court will recruit strong men from Yizhou to join the army again. To attack, you need 50 troops, or even more!
"General Zhengxi has worked hard, please wait for me to say hello to him!" Liu Xie was more concerned about how many good horses Cao Cao had brought back from the Western Regions.I don't know if he has arrived in the legendary Dawan Kingdom, and I heard that there are bloody horses there, and I don't know if I can get a batch back.

"The last general on behalf of General Zhengxi thanked His Majesty for his great love!" Xiahou Dun replied respectfully, "General Zhengxi led the Zhengxi Army this time, all the way westward, and has entered the territory of the former Dawan Kingdom. King Wan talked about it. He heard that we are an army from the Han Dynasty. King Dawan was very happy, but he also said that now Dawan Kingdom has been subordinated to Guishuang Kingdom. At the same time, Wusun also gave them a great threat. Before the problem, they couldn't pay tribute to the big man like before. But considering the friendship between the big man and Da Wan in the past, they are willing to submit to us!"

"Hmph, Dawan Kingdom intends to hedge their bets?" Liu Xie was not small, and immediately understood Dawan Kingdom's plan upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, we have been disconnected from Dawan Kingdom for nearly a hundred years!" Xiahou Dun reminded, no matter how good an ally is, if there is no contact for at least three generations, any friendship will be weakened.Especially when the other party is in deep danger and the big man is unable to help, after a long time, the people, nobles and royal family of Dawan Kingdom will forget the strength of the big man and the friendship with the big man.

"I heard that the last two generations of Dawan kings were supported by the Guishuang Kingdom..." Xiahou Dun added.

"It's true that they can't be blamed for this." Liu Xie couldn't help sighing when he heard the words. Since it was supported by the Guishuang Empire, it is natural to be closer to the Guishuang Kingdom.It may be that Cao Cao brought some kind of pressure to them to propose surrender to the big man.

"Have you discovered India?" Liu Xie was more concerned about this. After all, it is said that the climate there is pleasant and gold and silver are everywhere.

"It has not yet been discovered that there is Guishuang Kingdom in front of us! However, according to our explorations, this country has begun to decline. During the Zhongping period, Dawan Kingdom and Kangju Kingdom have gradually lost their control, so Dawan Kingdom dares to Bet on both sides." Xiahou Dun replied, "The general intends to attack Dawan and Wusun first, and the supplies can be eaten by the enemy, but the follow-up replenishment needs to be found in another way. The general needs a large number of craftsmen, and there are enough The literati went to the local area to educate!"

"Well, I will think of a way! Speaking of which, how many horses have you brought back this time? Now that you have arrived in Dawan, can you find the legendary bloody BMW?" Liu Xie nodded, and then asked eagerly.

"The Dawan Kingdom is not what it used to be. There are still high-quality Dawan BMWs. In addition to the horses obtained from other small countries, this time I brought back [-] war horses. As for the hard-earned BMWs, they may be in Wusun's territory. Even in the territory of the Qiang people, there are still some stray herds of bloody horses, for example, the red rabbit sent to Dong Zhuo by the Qiang people in the past was a bloody horse caught in a herd of horses." Xiahou Dun replied road.

"Isn't the red rabbit horse a group?" Liu Xie was a little puzzled. He had heard such a report before, saying that there was a purple gold red rabbit under the seats of generals Cen Xi and Xue Rengui under Shi Hui's command, and that several generals were seated. There are curly-haired red rabbits, and there are three or four red rabbit horses.

"This..." Xiahoudun didn't know how to explain it. He had also heard such a report, and at that time he really wanted to say "MMP".BMWs like Chitu are generally the top horses in the herd, and they are completely BMW-level existences. Such existences are often unique, so they are given a separate name.

But the same or even better Chitu horse appeared in one breath, and there was really an illusion that 'Chitu is a horse breed'.

"I'm afraid it's just that Shi Hui deliberately named these horses Chitu in order to disgust General Lu?" Xiahoudun could only answer in this way. Thinking about the name carefully, of course he can call it whatever he wants, even he can find it casually. A horse with a black mane can be named Black Rabbit.

"If it's him, maybe it can really be done." Liu Xie was taken aback when he heard this, and then thought for a while, obviously agreeing with this point of view.

Cao Cao brought back [-] war horses from the Western Regions, and together with the horseshoes and stirrups he learned from Shi Hui, it could almost solve the problem of insufficient cavalry.It's just that at least [-] people have to be transferred to the north, and the Xianbei people are also ready to move around during this time, and Wuhuan's side is also restless.Obviously, they all realized that the big man was weak, and they all wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the big man.

After the imperial court captured Hebei, it also had to shoulder the responsibility of dealing with foreign enemies.Before that, both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had worked hard to do it, and it was impossible for the court not to do it, and even to do better than them.

"It's really not possible, just rob a group of slaves from Xianbei and come back!" Liu Xie secretly made a decision. Recently, his decision-making has been more and more influenced by Shi Hui.After all, Shi Hui doesn't care much about the influence of public opinion, especially those Confucian scholars who always propose a truce to cultivate themselves, or demand benevolence and righteousness from foreign countries, and want to repay grievances with virtue. The longer they succeed in the throne, the more annoying they become.

After the newspaper appeared, his control over public opinion became stronger and stronger, and he gradually gained advantages in the battle with Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, gradually controlling the court.Coupled with the gradual control of military power, ZTE's big man is just around the corner.However, before that, the high mountain in the south still needs him to climb, but he doesn't have much confidence.

At the beginning of 197 A.D., the first batch of gold, silver and copper ingots transported back from Japan had been transported to Xiangyang.There will be many follow-ups. Judging from the investigation report of the Japanese country, after deducting the factors of labor force and backward technology, the annual output of the three metals will not be bad.

Shihui even planned to stop the mining of precious metals within Huaxia and import them from the outside in an all-round way.In particular, the gold mine in Yizhou was also discovered, and blood transfusions began to be sent to the mainland.Gold mines and copper mines were also discovered in Yuezhou, which can support the opening of the gold, silver and copper project.

"The preparatory stage is here, it's almost ready! Start the publicity stage, and issue some gold and silver coins in small quantities! As for copper coins, continue to use five baht coins!" Shi Hui officially issued an order, which means that the currency reform is about to begin.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
