Destiny Only Han

Chapter 451 Liu Bang: Traveling far and wide...

Hearing Zhang Buyi's words, Liu Ying was silent for a while, and then said:

"The exchange ratio established in advance is one silver dollar, which is exchanged for one hundred five baht coins. I have calculated the price comparison between the silver used in casting silver dollars and the brass used in casting five baht coins of the same size It's about the same ratio..."

"Advance?"

Zhang Buyi grasped the key point in his words and asked: "Could it be that there is still a later stage?"

Liu Ying nodded and said:
"Of course, because the root of everything is the price of grain. When the price of grain is stable, the exchange ratio between gold, silver and brass will be stable. When the price of grain fluctuates, the value of brass will decrease, but it will become rarer. The value of silver and gold has not been affected much.”

"However, this is only temporary. After the large-scale development of the Jingdao Silver Mine, there will be more silver and the exchange rate will stabilize."

Well, in the years when productivity was underdeveloped, the basis of the economy was the food standard, not the gold standard.

Although there are many "lisao without rhyme" in Sima Xi's experience of Jingdao written by his grandson, there are still some places that are more credible.

According to his visits in those few days, the big island they landed on should have a population of more than 50, and there are also many farmlands suitable for planting on the island.

Liu Ying is not surprised by this data.

Although the next door is called "small", the land area is actually not too small, but because the whole is long and narrow, it doesn't look big.

For example, one of the Honshu islands has an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, which is larger than Hunan Province.

After all, the local rainfall is abundant, and the presence of volcanic ash increases the fertility of the soil, and the surrounding ocean currents are frequent, and there are many big fish that migrate and spawn in the river...

So although the productivity is not good, the food is actually not too bad.

And although it is said that the mineral resources of the book are poor, it refers to the imbalance between production and consumption after industrialization.

The book is called a geological museum, and it has all kinds of resources. For example, the most important coal and steel in industrialization also have a certain reserve, but the mass production in the industrialization era is a bottomless pit, so the resources on the island are naturally not enough.

Well, the iron ore there mainly comes from the sedimentary metamorphic rocks of the Archaean and Proterozoic, rather than volcanic activities, so the burial is very deep, and it is not conducive to the formation of high-quality iron ore.

It's similar to a pot of rice porridge sprinkled with a handful of black sesame seeds, you can see it, but you can't taste it if you don't taste it carefully...

Gold and silver mines are different. They come from the acidic magma activities of the Quaternary, so they are shallowly distributed and well preserved, which is very conducive to mining.

Therefore, there is no shortage of food, no shortage of gold and silver, and no shortage of labor force for development in the early stage, which means that Whale Island will be a perfect colony within easy reach.

This is why Liu Ying transferred half of the equity to the state.

With the strong support of the state machine, in less than three to five years, Whale Island will be able to pass the early development stage and officially enter the profit period, continuously transporting gold, silver, and grain and other products back to the Central Plains.

Well, because some ethnic groups have been herbivores since ancient times, in Liu Ying's plan, their daily diet should be mainly rice and vegetables, and occasionally eat some soy beans and seaweed soup to adjust...

In this way, a large amount of grain can be saved, which is enough to stabilize the grain market in the Han country, and the Han people will transition from eating well to eating well as soon as possible!
Beside Liu Ying, Zhang Buyi looked at the sky, and said to himself: "Well, if I rush back to Chang'an now, I'm afraid it's already a curfew, so I'll stay here with you... By the way, how long have we not gone to sleep?" , have you talked at the candle night?"

..............................

Huns, Dragon City.

The ice and snow melted, the grassland thawed, and the grass on the ground sprouted buds, covering the ground, like a green carpet, full of colorful flowers, like a beautiful brocade picture.

Today was the day when the Huns worshiped heaven in Longcheng in the spring. The leaders of the grassland tribes set off early with their adult daughters of the same clan, and camped in the lush water and grass around Longcheng.

Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it's here again...

Therefore, it is called the Shangsi Festival in the Central Plains, but it is actually a blind date celebration. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the Huns will also hold a large-scale blind date meeting here.

Outside Dragon City, tens of thousands of young men and women galloped on horses, looking for the object of their dreams before their companions.

After all, the grassland is vast, and in the past, even if you galloped a horse for a day, you would not see a living person. If you can't find a man when everyone gathers today, you will have to wait for the guests at home...

Well, there has always been a tradition of wives and daughters entertaining guests on the grasslands.

So those who are particularly indulgent today are those little girls who have just grown up.

They rode on tall horses given to them by their father and brother, wrapped with many silks from the Han people in the south who exchanged cattle and sheep, and displayed their fancy dresses, then waved the whips in their hands, chasing and beating the men they liked... …

Well, this is similar to a game called 'Girl Chase' played by later Kazakhs.

When young men and women are chasing and playing together, the man can show his strong body, or try to kiss and hug the girl. When the two walk together for a certain distance, the man runs away. If the girl likes this man, she can catch up and whip him. .

In this way, it is equivalent to a successful blind date, and then the parents of both parties are notified to prepare for the wedding.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that the uproar is too much, the girl chased after her just to give her a hard gasp...

And on a small hill in the north of Longcheng, Mao Dun leaned on the tiger skin cushion, staring at the sky for a long time without saying a word.

In front of him, there was also the sound of crackling whips.

It's just that it's not women who smoke men, but men who smoke men.

The man who was beaten was an old man with gray hair. From his hairstyle and clothes, it could be seen that he should be a shaman of the Huns.

At this time, witch doctors are not separated from each other, and shamans in the tribe usually also work as doctors part-time.

And this "Mongolian doctor" who was whipped was the one who treated Maodun's arrow wound.

During the Battle of Mayi that day, Mao Dun was shot in the ribs. Although his injuries improved, they were not completely cured.

There is no problem in riding a horse for a short period of time, but after a long time, you will be out of breath, your chest will swell, and sometimes the pain will cause you to pass out!

"Da Chanyu, he seems to have passed out."

"Throw it out and feed it to the wolves!"

Without looking back, Mao Dun sentenced the shaman to death.

Now he has lost the ability to ride a strong horse and draw a strong bow, so he must create a tyrannical image.

The Huns are wolves, and they will kill a weak wolf head mercilessly.

He originally thought that he could face death calmly and not be as weak as his father.

But, he was wrong.

He began to fear death.
