Chapter 124(1/2)
On February 15th, the fourth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, when Yue Fei was two years old, it was the fourth day of Xu and 7:59 pm in the modern day.
At least half of the people present do not love money, such as Chen Tuan, Baimao, and Ou Yezi; even if they love money, they do not only love money.
But all those who see this money shine.
Because they have never seen so much money in their lives, they are so strange.
They thought at the same time that you, King Zhou of Shang, you can really make money! As an emperor, you are not short of money.
I also feel sorry for him, you, King Zhou of Shang, is so in trouble!
You spend a lot of effort, but unfortunately you have the life to make money, but you have no life to spend money, so I will wait for it if you have the advantage.
However, we are not the beneficiaries of the first wave. The first wave was those from the Western Zhou Dynasty. They were the winners of the Lutai. Of course, the good things belonged to them first.
Yue Fei was not surprised to see a lot, because just one thing about silver is far less than the huge amount of silver treasury in Wuligang.
It turned out to be how much it was, Yue Fei didn't know, he just compared the ones that still remain here.
However, among the money here, silver is a minority. In addition to silver, there are also gold, jade, pearls, and coins, as well as metal materials.
The most common ones are coins, namely shell coins, A coins, a small number of silver coins, and even gold coins.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Beicoin and A were the main popular currencies.
However, Yue Fei knew that at that time, the main currency in circulation was Beicoin, and other things were fakes, that is, fakes.
Later generations valued more precious gold and silver coins, but at that time, everyone hated them and no one wanted them. Not only was they heavy, but they also had a bad reputation.
Looking at these things, Yue Fei couldn't help but contact the West and East again, and his values also changed, which may be considered mixed.
Looking at the remaining money, the four masters and a not-too-old boatman were reminiscent of Lutai being captured by the Western Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, it was like a group of thieves robbing wealthy families, taking countless money, and then sharing the spoils and eating meat with big sluts.
Some people wrote poems to ridicule King Zhou of Shang for being unruly to save money but cheaper to win the country among the Western Zhou Dynasty. Why bother?
The poem says: King Zhou gathers and absorbs people's fat, accumulates grain and makes money for a hundred years, and it is ridiculous and greedy. It will be endless. It will be dispersed in one day without any disaster.
King Wu of Zhou led the princes who participated in the attack to the Jiujian Hall, and saw the princes, generals, leaders and others under the Danban, staggering and surrounded by two, waiting for the commander of the Western Zhou Dynasty to reward them according to their merits.
This so-called Jiujian Hall is also a testimony to the extravagant crime of King Zhou of Shang. The scale of the building was the largest at that time. There were ten huge front columns, and nine large palaces were separated by a total of nine large palaces. The space was wide, so the scale of the predecessors could enter the palace at the same time.
Military advisor Jiang Shang sent an order to save the flames in the palace, and he also pretended to add a false order saying that he should not affect the innocent, and that he should not put out the fire, and that he should not commit tyranny. He dared to take one of the things in the six palaces and kill one person in absurd manner, and beheaded and displayed to the public.
During the firefighting process, they also saw the cannons, and just a glance was enough to be shocking.
When I arrived downstairs of Zhaixing, I saw snakes and scorpions churning up and down in the basin, white bones rolling around, the wind in the wine pond was terrible, and the cold dew was sad under the meat forest.
During these processes, King Wu and Jiang Shang continued to express their mercy to the palace ladies, ministers, and even King Zhou.
However, these cannot stop the pace of dynasty change at all. Gao Feng was the three resignations and three remarks before King Wu ascended the throne, which set a precedent for extreme hypocrisy.
Why don’t you ask yourself a question and ask directly, why did you rebel for usurping the throne?
Just be more straightforward and just say the reason for your rebellion. If you have to do it, normal people will understand you.
The number of six hundred princes is quite large, but it is not worth mentioning in terms of strength, especially under the premise of dispersion, I cannot have any thoughts of opposition.
So their characters just echoed and waved flags and shouted to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, I tried my best to persuade King Wu of Zhou to advance, and there was no other voice.
Of course, the persuasion of the six hundred princes was to divide the interests, otherwise they would not take risks.
Their direct interests are that they are divided into misrepresented that Lutai is actually a treasure in the warehouse.
Indirectly, he divided the feudal powers, took the world of Shang and Yin for himself, and then made it clear that he had a part of himself and exercised sovereignty.
As for how much benefit you get from these places, it depends on their ability. The more you can make ends meet, the greater the profits you make, this is self-evident.
After finishing all this, you can imagine that this land will undoubtedly be very lively in the future!
Among the six hundred princes, who doesn’t want to be the second king of martial arts?
Also, if you are trying to increase your wealth by yourself, how can you enjoy the ready-made pleasure from other princes?
Which one does not have one or two Lutai?
As the general trend is the direction of the people, the process is completed, King Wu of Zhou successfully called himself the king from the north and took the position of Emperor.
The King of Wu was so proud that the next day he became the king, he set up a special dynasty to accept congratulations from all the princes.
After finishing this matter of no substance, King Wu spoke, which was related to everyone's interests and everyone listened carefully.
"The tyrannical king of Zhou of Shang Dynasty was defeated by his contributions to the capital and the wealth of the world. Huang Xi lost his power, so he was defeated by me and everyone.
"I was elected by the princes as the king, but I did not want to get a fortune alone. I wanted to disperse the money and wealth of Lutai to the princes in the world.
"At the same time, the number of robberies was given to the emperors of each barbarians was given to the five titles, the number of ranks was divided into three territory, the number of officials was established was virtuous, and the position was capable.
"We value the five religions of the people, only food, funerals and sacrifices, trusting and wise, and respecting virtue and repaying merits.
"You princes, please bring your share of wealth to your country, so that you can enjoy the land you have obtained, and you will be proud of it from now on."
King Wu expressed this meaning very clearly, very directly, and very natural. That is to say, you made me the king, and I knew it very well.
Of course, I cannot be grateful and not repay my kindness. I will not only distribute wealth to you, but also split the soil for you.
Let you all get what you want and be satisfied with, and you will not be in vain to raise an army with me to oppose King Zhou of Shang.
Then, according to King Wu's intention, Jiang Shang directed those soldiers like tigers and wolves to demolish all the Zhaixing Tower and pavilions and disperse all the wealth of Lutai to show that he had no choice but to change his course with King Zhou of Shang, and would not fight against the people in the future and risk the world's tyranny.
From then on, we must stoop our martial arts and cultivate our culture, return to our horses in the sun of Mount Hua, and herd cattle in the wilderness of peach forests to show that the world is convinced and obeyed the command of the Zhou Dynasty king.
Chen Tuan interjected with a smile: "It was said that it was to let Ma Nanshan Mountain beside the sunny slope on the south side of Mount Hua. In fact, there were not many horses, and they were all slow horses. King Wu of Zhou was not honest and had few words of truth from those historical books. I can't bear it anymore, just as the descendant of Mount Hua, the one who talked nonsense in front of me."
Zhou Tongdao: "King Wu of Zhou? Even a king dared not take the throne with pleasure. He was not so bold to remove his military equipment. The main army that conquered the Dongyi was still there. Maybe when one shot back, he would destroy them all."
Zhou Eliu said: "King Zhou of Shang is still very smart. Even if this Lintai collects money, he also creates a cunning rabbit three holes. Specifically, it is to leave part of the money as financial expenditure to meet the needs of administrative management. The second part is the needs of Zhaixing Tower. Only such needs are collected in the Lintai. The things burned by Zhaixingtai and the wealth that the Lintai is divided into are all this part, so Jiang Shang and others only divide it into part.
"The third part is the best and most valuable thing hidden by King Zhou of Shang, such as a large number of shell coins, charcoals, materials for making warrior armor and weapons, and things that King Zhou of Shang thought were good things."
While introducing, he directed Xiang Hong to arrange for the soldiers to dig out the walls on both sides of the cave, where there were storage rooms.
Those soldiers are tall and powerful, and they use very powerful tools. They can get through the process of digging rivers in a few ways. Such a small thing is no problem at all.
They found the right position, waved the copper jelly in their hands, went in with a click, and came out with a swish.
When you enter, you have a smooth copper jaw, and when you come out, you have a treasure chest.
Yue Fei was responsible for checking the contents of the treasure chest. With great expectations, he opened the first one. What exactly do you have?
After unboxing, a slight dim light shone out.
Yue Fei looked at the things and almost cried.
It turned out that a box of shell coins was full of shell coins, which were useless shell coins. After a little bit of mobilization, they became the currency in circulation at that time. Because they came from shells, they were called shell coins.
This kind of shell coins is the most formal circulating currency in the Shang Dynasty, so it is also of the highest value and easy to carry. It has strong liquidity and is widely accepted and acts as a general equivalent, so it has become the object of great collection by King Zhou of Shang.
This is not counted, because one-third of the storage volume is found to collect the highest value, which is very popular with King Zhou of Shang, so the last third of the entire shell coins account for a large proportion.
But Yue Fei was in trouble. The treasures of the Shang Dynasty turned into waste at this time!
Yue Fei was so angry that he kicked the box of coins and kicked it more than ten feet away.
Yue Fei immediately realized that he was wrong. What’s wrong with this coin? People change over and over again, but they cannot be restricted.
Also, maybe the shell materials of those coins are of great use.
So Yue Fei silently apologized to the shell coins that had been scattered all over the ground and the box that was kicked to pieces and expressed his regret.
Then I opened the second item, and it was indeed different.
However, the things inside still have no value improvement. They are a box of charcoals, which is the currency made of tortoise shells.
This A currency ranks second in the Shang Dynasty, only one level behind Beicoin, and is the second most popular currency.
Although he was still disappointed, Yue Fei did not play. Although the time was short, he was a little mature.
I will no longer use those ignorant things as punching bags.
In fact, Yue Fei knew that the reason why he really didn't kick was not that he had sublimated his understanding, but because his feet hurt, it hurts very much!
His whole body has been strengthened by the second level of ice and fire. Such a collision will not be injured, but the pain cannot be avoided.
No matter how irritable his temper is, such a magnitude of pain can still calm him down and not touch the stone with eggs.
When I opened the third box, I finally waited for good news. This was a box of silver coins. Although it was still in the shape of shell coins, the materials were all real gold and silver. Yue Fei was probably worth a lot. Even in the Song Dynasty, it was very likely to be used as high-end works of art and sold at a higher price.
Yue Fei immediately handed the box to Huzi and asked him to send someone to send back to the big ship and take it all away when he returned home.
In addition to leaving a few ship guards, all the people from the weapon team gathered here, waiting to move the goods on the ship, and the good goods picked out by Yue Fei.
The fourth box made Yue Fei overjoyed, and it was filled with gold coins!
Although it was still made into the shape of a shell coin, the material money was relatively high, which made Yue Fei very happy. It would be better to continue to improve from now on.
Just after taking some good things after two or two, Yue Fei was satisfied, but there were too many coins and 100% of them, and there were piles of them high up there.
It wasn't too long before I heard the flat hair looking for strange things inside and shouted: "Come here quickly, there's something good here!"
Yue Fei immediately became interested. His master was a well-informed doctor. He said that good things must be really good things.
To be continued...
