One thousand and thirty-six, they took out too much gold and silver

The envoy headed by Longlihe originally thought that the outer city of Luoyang City where the Lifan Court is located was the whole of Luoyang, and thought that Luoyang City was so neat and clean.

But unexpectedly, the inner city of Luoyang City, that is, the imperial city, is even better than the outer city.

The air is the most basic, the roads are smooth and the streets are spacious, and patrol soldiers can be seen everywhere. The scenery is pleasant and many green plants are distributed in the city with great artistic ornamentality.

The stone slabs on the ground have some patterns, which perfectly reflect the heritage of this ancient country.

The palace city within the imperial city is even more majestic and grand. Just a quick look can tell the power of a great country.

The black-armored army stationed in the imperial city is tall and strong, with awesome momentum and well-equipped. That kind of power really makes people dare not face each other head-on.

What an elite soldier.

This feeling is even stronger than the elite soldiers directly under the emperor in the Kushan Palace.

Long Lihe feels so.

Although there is no gold and silver as decoration, no magnificence, and no words that make people feel rich by looking at it, the simple, solemn and powerful atmosphere can make people feel what a great country is, what an ancient country is, and what a pomp.

All of this, located at the core of the entire city, has never seen the messengers of the Kushan Empire.

Long Lihe compared it slightly.

On one side, it is magnificent and luxurious, while on the other side, it is simple, solemn and powerful. Although you can feel that the emperor is richer at a glance, his own emperor obviously suffered a loss in areas other than money.

The Kushan Empire's army said it was a large number of people, but it was really hard to comment on the combat effectiveness.

The army that swept across the Kushan army under the leadership of that emperor has now fallen so much that it cannot even control some vassal states.

Dayuan, Huatshuzimo and Kangju all broke away from the Kushan rule, but the Kushan was powerless.

But thinking about the emperor who likes magnificence and luxury, Long Lihe has nothing to do.

This reception was not formal in nature, because they were not the true official messengers of the Kushan Empire.

Just like when the Kushan emperor met Ma Yuan before, he held a banquet and called some important ministers in power, which was considered as the two sides reached a preliminary diplomatic intention.

If the other party does this, according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, Mr. Guo should do the same.

So Mr. Guo attended the banquet in person and warmly treated the envoys from the Kushan Empire.

Unlike the small Western Regions who only want to take advantage of the situation, the gifts brought by the Kushan Empire are naturally different.

Just like the gifts that Mr. Guo asked Ma Yuan to bring, Kushan’s gifts were a world of difference compared to small countries in the Western Regions.

These real things such as gold, silver, etc.

Although it looks a little tacky, it can really tell the elite rulers of the Wei Empire - the Kushan Empire is really rich.

I have money to the point where I use gold and silver as circulating currency.

The powerful men of the Wei Empire wanted to loudly mock these rural bullies who had nothing but money, but they took out too much gold and silver.

So the powerful people of the Wei Empire could only sigh.

Seeing the amazing expressions of the rulers of the Wei Empire, Long Lihe's heart was filled with pride.

Along the way, he learned a lot from Ma Yuan's mouth.

He learned that Ma Yuan envied the Kushan Empire for being so rich that he could use gold and silver as currency, but the Wei Empire could not do it.

Because the Wei Empire lacked gold and silver, it could not be officially circulated, and in the domestic market, copper coins could only be circulated.

However, copper coins are heavy and have low value, which is not conducive to long-distance bulk goods transactions, so it is inconvenient for people to use silk or a small amount of gold and silver to conduct bulk transactions.

It would be great if the Wei Empire had so much gold and silver.

Ma Yuan looked at Long Lihe with envious eyes.

Long Lihe felt very happy, especially on such an elegant and solemn occasion.

After feeling the inexplicable sense of inferiority among the nouveau riche, the pride and vanity caused by the dowry made him feel even more happy. He even felt that he should bring more such gifts to the elites of the Wei Empire to shock the eyes.

Their goods are good, but they have no gold and silver, and they are relatively poor.

Longlihe suddenly felt this way.

Money is the truth of this world!

Gold and silver are symbols of truth!

I have money, I am the truth!

Long Lihe yelled in his heart like this.

Mr. Guo is also jealous.

When he saw boxes of gold and silver coins, he was really envious!

The golden and silver brilliance stimulated his heart.

The conscience of heaven and earth. If he could have a railway now, he would immediately ask Zhang Fei to take 50,000 soldiers to take the train to Kushan to rob and snatch all the gold and silver from all over the country!

It's gold!

It's silver!

The image of the luxurious and generous emperors of the Western Han Dynasty suddenly became extremely dark in Guo's heart.

Especially Liu Che, who was rewarded with gold worth tens of thousands of pounds and tens of thousands of pounds.

A prodigal!!!

Even if it is Hanjin, it is a lot of gold!

All of them were rewarded, and then they were taken to the cemetery to bury him, which made Mr. Guo’s eyes turn red when he was short of gold.

For a moment, he really wanted to immediately order Linzi Camp to send a team of people out to rob the tomb and make gold.

All the gold that was brought to the ground and buried was re-taken for circulation.

After struggling to hold back the desire to dig other people's ancestral graves, Mr. Guo became more and more determined in his beliefs.

No, the Silk Road must be opened, and you must go out in large quantities to do business in large quantities and make real money and come back.

Mr. Guo wants gold and silver, and he wants a lot of gold and silver!

Compared with this box of gold and silver, other gifts seem much more dull, and Mr. Guo doesn't value it either.

However, looking at the face of these boxes of gold and silver, Mr. Guo still kindly received these guests from afar.

The reception of them with good wine, singing, dancing and exquisite food made them feel that although the central empire had little gold and silver, its cultural soft power was unprecedented.

Sure enough, these guys were immersed in the elegant music and the soft dance. Seeing the dancers dancing with the music, their eyes could not be moved away.

They were intoxicated by singing and dancing and women, and were sent away drunk after the banquet.

At this moment, Mr. Guo was thinking about what kind of goods should be used to harvest their gold and silver on a more scale.

Silk can.

The iron pot is OK.

The former can become a necessity for communication in the upper class and can be sold at the price of gold.

The latter will become a necessity for units and individuals who need to travel far away, such as merchants, the army, and other units that need to travel far. Not only that, it may also be popularized among the people in the future.

If Chinese food culture can be spread and they can also learn to use chopsticks and bowls to eat, they can make another money.

Porcelain can be, and it can also become a popular money-making goods.

Mr. Guo suddenly felt that he had treasures in his hands, but it really took a long time to exchange these treasures for money.

Money, money, Mr. Guo is almost nervous when he thinks about money.

In short, before reaching commercial cooperation with the Kushan Empire is fully launched, all commodities that can be exported nationwide must be arranged.

Representative products such as silk, porcelain, lacquerware, iron pots and even incense can seize the market of the Kushan Empire and even the Roman Empire on a large scale and export them to the outside world.

Anyway, Mr. Guo absolutely does not think that Chinese specialty goods cannot be used outside and then used for money.
