Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1242 : Chapter 486 Gold

At the same time, Li Zhuoran also came in with a few companions.

Walking around the mine, he could see the reality very clearly. When he got to the place where the fat man was looking, he found that it was indeed a warehouse, so he knocked out the guard in front of the vault, and tried to get in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will feel the golden light.

The two companions of the inner guard suddenly closed their eyes subconsciously.

There are countless horseshoe gold on the shelf, Li Zhuoran picked up a piece, about five taels of pure gold, and held it in his hand, the heavy and moist feeling made people feel very comfortable. [

"A lot, I'm afraid there are three or four thousand ingots?"

"Yes, I'm afraid there may be less than [-] gold in this treasury. If you say it, won't it scare people into a tumble?"

"If I hadn't been here, if you told me, I wouldn't believe it."

The inner guards were all secreting adrenaline rapidly, and the whole person was filled with uncontrollable excitement.Gold, a precious metal, has such magical powers. A group of men fighting and staying by Zhang Shouren's side didn't pay attention to money at first, but now they are a little addicted to the temptation of gold.

The entire Ming Dynasty was short of gold at this time. The key is that China suffered a big loss at the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Song Dynasty was not an ordinary change of dynasty, but the death of the Han people.

At least [-]% of the wealth in China has been plundered. Of course, including precious metals such as gold, whether it is gold ingots, jewelry or handicrafts, they have been plundered almost completely. In the past, wealth changed hands when the dynasty changed. , but the easy to come and easy to go are all within the scope of China, but this time they were taken out of China by the Mongols and Semu people, and completely lost outside the country.

At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, China was extremely short of precious metals. Zhu Yuanzhang’s banknotes and tax payment in kind were indeed a retrogression, but it was also a realistic portrayal of the lack of gold, silver and copper at that time. Until the end of Ming Dynasty, there were still not many gold reserves, and Emperor Wanli died. Finally, there were many top cultural relics in the huge coffin, such as the golden silk wing crown, but there were also the most vulgar objects, that is, 50 taels of pure red tribute gold.The emperor was buried with gold in his arms, and the insufficiency of the entire empire's gold reserves was obvious.

There are many reasons for this situation. One is insufficient mineral resources, the other is insufficient background, and the third is that the price of gold and silver is much lower than that in China compared to Europe. When European gold is [-] or [-] to silver, China is [-] to [-]. Eight or one to ten, a large amount of gold was transported back to Europe by Europeans in silver sets, which also caused China's gold reserves to continue to decline. The gold-silver ratio has risen a lot since before Wanli, and now it has stabilized at more than [-] to [-] .

Here in Zhaoyuan, nearly 2 taels of gold were found in an extremely simple warehouse. One ingot of gold was cast into a small gold ingot, shining brightly under the lights in the room, exuding a seductive magic power.

Just staying there for a short while is almost overwhelming.

"Hurry up and go, look at you."

Li Zhuoran also took a few deep breaths to settle his mind. Seeing that his subordinates were still out of their minds, he said with a smile: "Each person will take one ingot, and I will report back to my lord and reward you."

According to Fushan military regulations, all captured battlefields will be returned to the public, and violators will be severely punished.Today is not a battlefield, and things can be dealt with according to the authority, but they still have to be reported before they are considered legal.
