The stack casting method first appeared in the Qin Dynasty and reached its peak during the Wang Mang period, when more than a hundred coins could be cast at one time.
Wang Mang "does not care about copper and does not love work". His exquisite coins cast a trend and have far-reaching influence. Regardless of the Southern and Northern Dynasties or the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, any emperor who pursues "beautiful" copper coins will use the stack casting method...
Forget about the Yuan Dynasty, paper money was the main currency.
In the Ming Dynasty, the coin casting process was still based on stack casting, supplemented by flat mold casting.
It stands to reason that the stack casting method is a good technique. It can cast hundreds of copper coins at a time, and the efficiency is not low. There seems to be no need to introduce a stamping coin casting method.
But Wu Dasheng is very clear that the advantages of the stack casting method only exist in the casting process. But the problem is that the stack casting method does not only have one casting link. It needs to make a clay mold first, and then fill it with copper after the clay molding. The box needs time to dry in the shade.
After drying in the shade, it needs to be molded and baked, and this also takes time...
This does not include engraving problems and loss problems.
The emergence of the stamping coin casting method effectively solved the mold problem and time problem of the stack casting method. It can rely on strong stamping force to prepare copper coins more quickly.
He Fu was very satisfied and handed the copper coins in his hand back to Wu Dasheng and said: "In that case, let's expand the scale. The emperor has been waiting for us for a long time."
Wu Dasheng nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for the craftsmen right away."
He Fu walked out of the manor, looked at the closely guarded sergeants in the distance, took a breath of air-conditioning, and said to himself: "With copper wealth, businessmen who hoard copper coins will definitely be unlucky. Haha, I don't know when the emperor will take action. , stable silver and copper..."
The cold wind blew through the vast withered grass, causing wind and sand.
Li Bala, who bought it, looked at the portrait of the woman on the table with dreamy eyes, and his soul had flown out. It was not until someone informed the Taiwei to see him that he put the portrait away and allowed it to be put into his account.
After Haohai Dayu saluted, he said: "Great Khan, a group of tribal leaders are making trouble because they cannot buy salt. They think that Dadaiji's eating 90% of the salt in one breath has cut off their way of survival."
"Ninety percent?"
Ribala, who bought it, was a little surprised. He narrowed his eyes and said to Haohai Tatsuyu: "I remember asking you to only take part of the salt. Why did you take 90% of it?"
Haohai Dayu explained: "Originally, the great Han asked me to take charge, but later Dadaiji got involved and ordered 90% of merchant salt to be taken away. I did not dare to disobey Dadaiji..."
"Confused!"
Libala, who bought it, was a little angry.
Haohai Dayu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to get angry now. They are on their way here. The Great Khan should think of countermeasures early."
The face of Li Bala who bought it changed slightly, and he said to Haohai Dayu: "What other countermeasures are needed? Since they ask for salt, then give it to them."
Haohai Dayu looked a little embarrassed and said: "If it were so simple, I wouldn't come here to disturb the Khan."
Li Bala, who bought it, was shocked and said, "What do you mean?"
Haohai Dayu explained that it turned out that Dadaiji had taken 90% of the merchant salt, which was only eight shi, but now it was widely spread that Dadaiji had taken eighteen shi. If Dadaiji did not hand over the merchant salt, what would happen to him? Once they explain it, we'll see.
"Eighteen stones?"
Li Bala's eyes widened when he bought it. There was a huge difference between eighteen shi and eight shi. Even if he sold Dadaiji, he still wouldn't be able to get 18 shi of salt.
"Wouldn't it be better to let the businessman clarify?"
The person who bought Ribala asked quickly
road.
Haohai Dayu shook his head and said: "No one will believe the words of a businessman, only the words of his own people. Khan, this matter was caused by Da Taiji, and it needs Da Taiji to solve it."
"How to solve?"
Li Bala, who bought it, asked with a frosty face.
Haohai Dayu suggested: "Naturally, let Dadaiji come to the big tent in person, explain clearly to the other tribal leaders, and take out some salt and sell it at ordinary prices to calm the anger of the tribes."
Libala, who bought it, thought about it for a while and found no other way, so he ordered someone to summon Harguchuk Hongtaiji.
Yan Ji held a newborn lamb in his arms and said to Harguchuke Hongtaiji with a smile: "Newborn sheep are always staggering. If they stagger a lot or fall a few times, they will always stand up. "
With deep love in his eyes, Harguchuk Hongtaiji said: "You asked me to surrender, and I did it. You asked me to restrain myself, and I did it too. But now you ask me to imitate a sheep, isn't it a bit too much? Already?"
Yan Ji pursed his lips and said, "Where is it too much? I'm not wrong."
Harguchuk Hongtaiji shook his head slightly, motioned to Henji to let go of the lamb, and said: "It's just something happened, it won't make me fall down."
Yanji looked into the distance, let go of the lamb, and said with some worry: "This thing always seems weird, so don't be careless. Among the tribal leaders, there are not many who are friendly to Dadaiji. If they make a fuss, , even the sweat is difficult to cope with."
Harguchuk Hongtaiji didn't mind, and took Yanji to the river, and said easily: "In the end, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although I am responsible for looking after the market, you can take it away." But it is Haohai Dayu who makes 90% of the table salt, and it is Choros, not me. Be it Hashiha or Arutai, whoever wants to buy salt should go to Haohai Dayu."
Yanji washed his hands, gave Harguchuk Hongtaiji a smile, and lightly opened his red lips: "Then let's bring it to the Taiwei. It's not our trouble in the first place, so why worry about it for them."
Harguchuk Hongtaiji nodded, chatted and laughed, and planned to go back with Yanji. At this moment, the Great Khan's guard arrived and sent a message asking Harguchuk Hongtaiji to go to the big tent.
"I'll be back as soon as I go, wait for me to have dinner together."
Harguchuk Hongtaiji said to Yanji with a smile.
Yanji watched Harguchuk Hongtaiji mount his horse and lead the people out of the camp. When his back was blurred in the distance, he put down his waving hand, turned around and returned to the tent. He just took out the money from the merchant. I bought some wine, but I felt uncomfortable. I quickly put down the wine jar, ran to the back of the tent, and started retching...
Sweat warm the tent.
The Mongolian nobles such as Hashiha, Haohai Dayu, Arutai, Malhaza, and Yesuntai did not speak, but waited quietly. The libala they bought was a bit embarrassing, and it was not easy to drink and eat alone. Meat, everyone was in silence, each with their own thoughts, until Harguchuk Hongtaiji entered the big tent.
After seeing the gift, Li Bala, who bought it, said bluntly: "Although you are my son, you should also respect all tribes. How can you ignore the interests of the ethnic group for personal gain? How much salt was taken from the merchants, and he took it out to use Sold to various ministries for less than the purchase price as an apology.”
Harguchuk Hongtaiji felt a little angry. All of this had little to do with him. At this time, he actually needed to apologize by himself?
Suppressing his anger, Harguchuk Hongtaiji said: "Great Khan, I am responsible for the management of the commercial market together with the Taiwei. The matter of trading salt is entirely the responsibility of the Taiwei and has nothing to do with Erchen.
. Clan leaders, if you need salt, go to the Taiwei. "
Haohai Tatsuyu picked up a piece of bone, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of meat, chewing slowly.
Ma'erhaza looked at Harguchuk Hongtaiji and said, "Isn't it too irresponsible of Dataiji to say this? Both the merchants and our own people have seen that the merchant salt has been transported to your camp. Why are you denying it now?"
Harguchuk Hongtaiji's pupils were slightly condensed, and he said to Ma'er Hazan: "Shang's salt has been transported to my camp? Why don't I know anything about this? The Taiwei is also here, why don't you stand up and tell everyone that Shang's salt is shipped to my camp?" Where is the salt?”
Haohai Dayu raised his head slightly and said to Harguchuke Hongtaiji: "Dataiji, I just followed your order to buy Shangyan. Since it is your order, I naturally sent Shangyan to you. Camp.”
"You're talking nonsense!"
Harguchuk Hongtaiji was a little flustered and shouted sharply.
He didn't receive any salt at all, and all the 90% of the commercial salt was taken away by Choros' people. He actually confused right and wrong in front of the Khan and everyone!
Haohai Dayu looked at Harguchuk Hongtaiji coldly, bit off the bones in his hand with a bang, and said: "Nonsense? Is Dataiji questioning my character, Haohai Dayu, or questioning my character?" The character of the Choros tribe? Great Khan, I swear on the name of the Choros ancestors that after purchasing commercial salt, I arranged for people to deliver the salt to the Dadaiji camp."
"Did Da Taiji not know about such a big event? Could it be that he was obsessed with women all day long and forgot to open his ears and listen to the wind in the grassland?"
Harguchuk Hongtaiji gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said: "Haohai Dayu, don't even think about framing me! Choros took away 90% of the merchant salt. This is what my people told me personally!"
"enough!"
The buyer Ribala frowned and shouted.
Ha Shiha inserted a piece of meat with a small knife, shook it slowly, and said: "Khan, we are here just for salt, and we don't want to see this blame game."
Li Bala, who bought it, looked at Ha Shiha and the others with a gloomy look on his face, and said sternly: "Har Guchu Kehong Taiji, where is the salt?"
"Sweat, the salt really isn't in my place."
Harguchuk Hongtaiji shouted.
Libala, who bought it, stood up angrily and shouted: "Where is the salt?"
Harguchuk Hongtaiji looked at his father in disbelief, pointed at Haohai Dayu, and shouted: "He is there!"
boom!
A man was pushed into the tent and knelt on the ground. Mahamu walked in with a serious face, saluted the Libala he bought, and shouted: "Khan, please forgive me for being disrespectful. Dadaiji framed my father. As a son, I cannot ignore it. This person is Dadaiji's personal attendant. Dadaiji, do you agree?"
Harguchuk Hongtaiji looked at the people who were captured in the camp, frowned and shouted: "Mahamu, let go of my guard Yuezhe!"
"Haha, it's good to admit it. Everyone is here, so it's convenient to clarify. Yuezhe, come and tell the Khan, has the 90% salt purchased from the merchant been transported to the Dadaiji camp?"
Mahamu stepped on Yuezhe and asked majestically.
Yuezhe glanced at Harguchuke Hongtaiji, with some determination in his eyes, and shouted to Libala who bought it: "Great Khan, 90% of the commercial salt has indeed been transported to Dadaiji's camp, Dadaiji Ji wants to use the benefit of salt to increase his own power and attract more tribes to join him. He, he wants to seize the position of Great Khan!"
