A few months ago, Liu Bei submitted a letter to return to China. Before leaving, His Majesty gave the "Four-Written Wuzhu Copper Module" and granted the right to mint new coins.
Liu Bei had no time to take care of him. Now, all the bandits retreated, and the Yellow Turban rebellion was rebelling again, and the traffic between the north and the south was getting increasingly severed. So he wanted to mint money and spare it.
The minting of coins in counties and countries is not the first to be created by Your Majesty.
During the Former Han Dynasty, counties and states had the right to mint coins.
In the fifth year of Yuanshou in Emperor Wu, he ordered the counties and states to cast Wuzhu coins. It was called "County and state Wuzhu", or "Yuanshou Wuzhu". Because its materials were changed to copper, it was also known as "cyanoshu coins".
However, due to the different technical levels of each country and the copper ore compositions, the Wuzhu coins they cast vary greatly. Moreover, the corners were cut, most of them were less than Wuzhu, and the more they were cast, the lighter they became, the more coarse they became. Emperor Wu then took back the rights of coins from various counties and countries in the second year of Yuanding. The imperial court minted them and issued them uniformly to prevent the flood of evil coins.
The Zhongguan Wuzhu, which was cast in the early second year of Yuanding, is mostly made of red copper and red (the copper content is more than 70% and the lead content is about 20%). It is used as the five elements and is known as the "Red and Lean Wuzhu".
"The red coins are made of red copper as their own, and the coins are blue."
The red leap Wuzhu is made of red copper, and after fine grinding, the edge of the Guo is red. "Red leap (side)" means to file the outer wall flat, which is also the origin of the name of the red leap (side) coins. The red leap Wuzhu is deep and round, and the grinding and filtering is exquisite, the diameter is square, and the craftsmanship is fine. The copper color is bright and pure, the color is black and lacquer, and the face of the money is free of scars and flaws.
Liu Bei used red copper to mint coins this time.
However, the price of copper ore is high. Even though Liu Bei held the right to mint coins, the amount of copper ore sold from copper officials in various places was far more valuable than the value of Wuzhu coins. The gain was not worth the loss.
Liu Bei thought of mining copper mines himself in order to reduce costs as much as possible. Only after asking, did he realize that the mining industry is now very developed.
"Now the Han family minted coins and all the iron officials all set up officials and soldiers to attack the mountains to get copper and iron. One year, the 100,000 people have already made it..."
Every year, more than 100,000 people went to "attack the mountains and get copper and iron", and the mine shafts dug were "hundreds of feet". During the reign of Emperor Wu, there were 49 iron officials in the country, and the location of salt and iron officials was an important steel smelting base. The fifty-four famous mining sites were widely distributed in thirty-one counties and countries. The types of ore mined also increased. Take copper as an example. The copper ore mined before the Han Dynasty was mainly malachite, natural copper, red copper ore and azur copper ore. In the former Han Dynasty, copper sulfide was added. In the mines, the tools for transporting ore also made significant progress, and iron wheel ore trucks similar to those used in handmade coal mines in later generations appeared.
The nearest copper mine is located in Junmi County, Youbeiping County, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. It is about 600 miles south of Linxiang. During the Han Dynasty, the mining industry is prosperous here. At the intersection of the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei was prosperous and the Wuhuan moved inward. It has now been abandoned. It is the natural pasture of Wuhuan on Youbeiping. Wuyan, the Wuhuan master of Youbeiping, was called Khan Lu King and was granted the title of Shanyu. He has a good family relationship with Liu Bei.
God really helped me.
Liu Bei then went to write to his elder brother-in-law and said that he wanted to send craftsmen to Yanshan to start a mine and asked Wu Yan to send troops to protect him. Wu Yan agreed readily, but that's right.
The craftsmen soon found the Qianhan Mine Area buried among the weeds at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. After careful inspection, they reported to Liu Bei and needed a little repair to re-harvest.
Because it was under the jurisdiction of Wuhuan in Youbeiping, Liu Bei went to the elder brother-in-law again and said, could he place the hundred miles around the mine to the eldest princess Liu Meng and serve as his "Tang Muyi".
"Tangmuyi" was first found in the Zhou Dynasty. It refers to the fiefs of the princes who paid tribute to the emperor and gave him a royal capital to accommodation, fast and bath. During the Han Dynasty, it was mostly the fiefs of female nobles such as queens and princesses.
"From the emperor and the throne of Tang Muyi, they all serve their own personal support."
In the present era, Tang Muyi often gave it to princesses and other places. Similar to the vassal states. Although Tang Muyi is a fief, the people who were granted have no administrative power and are still under the jurisdiction of the court. However, because of the name of Tang Muyi, the administrative level is more noble than that of ordinary cities. Even if Tang Muyi is not large in area and has a small population, the ranks of officials in charge are higher than ordinary counties.
For example, during the late emperor, Yang'an County, Runan County was granted the title of Princess Liu Hua as Tang Muyi, and the head of the town was called the ruling. After the princess' death, Yang'an Order was demoted to Yang'an Chang again.
When Mr. Fuluo was pregnant, he dreamed of standing under the old house with five feet of mulberry trees. The mulberry trees were lush and leaves were lush, and the birds sing. When she looked up at the canopy, hundreds of birds rushed around and flew around, and was awakened. Liu Bei asked Lou Gui and others, and they all said that a hundred birds would have a noble daughter around them. As expected, his mother invited the great scholar Chen Shi to name it "Meng". The plants and trees sprouted and flourished. Later, the guests were feasted and the whole country celebrated.
Liu Meng, the eldest princess of Ji Kingdom protected by the grassland god deer, is naturally loved by everyone and blooming with flowers. It is the pearl in Liu Bei's hand.
Prince Ji gradually had more descendants, and more males were seen. The so-called "mother is noble by her son". Seeing that Ji State is becoming more and more powerful, the highest in the north. King Ji was able to win the world. He was afraid that his daughter Wu Lian would not be welcomed. Over time, Wu Yan's biggest knot in his heart. Now Liu Bei wants to ask for Tang Muyi for the eldest princess, but Wu Lian gave birth to the second princess, how can he be exception?
Thinking of this, Wu Yan issued the king's order to classify the two major mining areas of the copper mine of 100 miles, Yingshouyingzi and Shouwang Tomb in later generations, all of which were classified as Tang Muyi of the eldest princess Liu Meng.
Mining profits are more than a hundred times. They are not limited to seasons, and are suitable for all seasons.
Because Tang Muyi is one of the main peaks of Yanshan Mountain, the eastern foot of Fuling Mountain, Liu Bei named Donglingyi. Because "Ling" and "Ling" are close to each other, it is also called: Donglingyi.
"Fuling Mountain (Muling Mountain) is very tall and steep, and it is severely blocked by deep cold. The yin cliffs are covered with snow, and the ice is condensed in summer, so people are famous for it."
The first Dongling Ling was unexpectedly appointed. Liu Bei awarded Du Kui, who was known as the "Four Stranges of Ji Kingdom" along with Doctor Hua and others, Du Gongliang, Du Kui was good at bell and li, was smart and thoughtful, and had eight sounds of silk and bamboo, and was unable to do anything.
In fact, the musician who was good at bells and rhythms must be proficient in bronze casting. Because all chimes are made of bronze. If you want to accurately control the rhythm of chimes, you will be almost demanding in mastering casting skills, especially the temperature, copper and tin ratio, etc. Du Kui is the leader among them. He is very skilled in casting the national music chimes that "the sounds are arranged in four tones, seven tones are ready, and the palace is changed to change the tune" are all very skilled. He is not able to capture a small coin. Besides, he will not be able to cast coins at this time, but first refine the copper ore for coin into red copper ingots, and then transport it back to Linxiang. The casting of four out of five zhu is also the "cent coins" passed down by later generations.
At first, Du Kui was appointed as a doctor of the Imperial Academy in Ji Kingdom and taught music. Now he was the Dongling Order, and was highly valued by King Ji. Then he chose the day to set off and led his disciples Shao Deng, Zhang Tai, Sang Fu, Chen Wan and others, and a thousand good craftsmen. He took the agency boat to enter the Huoshui River, and walked around Wuzhong Mountain, passed Shimenxia, ​​and went north to Junmi County, Youbeiping County. He then found a road north to Yanshan, built roads and bridges, opened mountains and built cities, and built Tangmuyi for Princess Ji Kingdom.
