Section 706 Gold Rush (4)
In fact, it's no wonder that Emperor Wu is not to blame.
Before Emperor Wu came to power, the wind of folk 'alchemy' had been blowing for more than 200 years.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the monks and warlocks have fooled that they have alchemy and can refine gold.
Moreover, the alchemists and warlocks were not without results.
They came up with something that could bluff the old village women who didn't understand gold or hadn't studied it.
It's a chemically created thing that looks similar to gold.
In later high school textbooks, there was a detailed manufacturing process.
Roughly speaking, calamine is mixed with cuprite and charcoal, and heated to about 800 degrees, and a so-called 'medicinal gold' with a similar appearance is obtained.
This is the statement of the alchemists, and the official name is fake gold.
When Liu Che's father was on stage, he had already issued an order to ban 'fake gold', and violators abandoned the city.
After Liu Che ascended the throne, he also repeatedly issued edicts, announcing that 'those who make counterfeit gold will be cut in half, and those who do not report it and hide it will sit together', and if the local county and state officials crack or arrest the criminals who make counterfeit gold, they will immediately escort them to Chang'an Tingwei Prison, and raise the level of these criminals to the same level as 'great rebellion, great disrespect and disorder, and incest', and severely punish one if they are found.
But that's it, folk counterfeit gold incidents emerge in endlessly.
Criminals who are keen on similar scams, just like Amway and the pyramid and sales groups in later generations, cannot be banned at all.
Why are the people not afraid of death?
It is human nature to want to be rich.
Even under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, the Chinese people whose thoughts and behaviors were extremely shackled could even be for wealth. Not afraid of the dangers of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, not afraid of wind and sun. From all directions, rush to the land of gold rush.
There are countless people who have dreams of making a fortune. Go to the South Seas and go to Midi.
Not to mention now.
As long as they can make a fortune, the Han Chinese, who have always been known for their adventurous spirit and boldness, may have the courage to venture even in the Americas, provided that they know the direction of the Americas, have a ship that can cross the ocean, and have a successful example.
During the Wudi Dynasty in history, there was an endless stream of roads that followed Zhang Qian's excavation. The Han envoys who traveled to and from the Western Regions and even more distant countries in West Asia are proof of this.
As for now, there have been several waves of dreams of going to the body poison, visiting the golden country, the paradise of milk and honey, and the world of the Fountain of Youth.
This is a spontaneous ......
Although most of them basically walked to the Dian Kingdom at most, they did so because of the dangerous roads and the lack of guides. I don't know the language and I turn back.
However, if they continue to play like this, maybe they will be able to open up the land transportation from Yunnan to India.
There were even people sneaking out of the Great Wall. At the risk of being caught by the Huns and returning home as a stallion, he wanted to go to India......
Yunzhong County has reported several similar incidents......
These unlucky eggs were all used by the Huns as bargaining chips.
The righteous indulgence had to pay the price of an iron pot per person to redeem these fools.
But before being redeemed. These stupid people were used by the Huns as breeding machines for female slaves. Used for two or three months......
This made Liu Che a little crying and laughing after hearing the report.
There is no way. Liu Che had no choice but to punish all these fools to go to Shangjun and Daiguo to plant cotton, and only after planting for five years did they be allowed to go home.
"People with such an adventurous spirit and bold ......," Liu Che thought to himself, "What would they do if they suddenly knew that there were many places in Huaihua County and North Korea where gold could be produced and panned for gold?" β
The picture of the great development of the western region in the history of the Emperor appeared in Liu Che's mind.
Cowboys on horseback, gold diggers in boots, and countless Uncle Sam are heading west with dreams of making a fortune.
They do all kinds of evil, they are lawless.
But they have turned the originally barren west of Midi into a white man's world.
The number of local Indians was rapidly decreasing, and in just a century, the Indians were confined to protected areas.
And what if this picture appears in the Han family at this moment?
A ranger on horseback, with a long sword, a short sword and a crossbow?
A poor peasant with a family and wearing straw sandals?
There are also 'heroes and heroes' who smell blood and gather from all over the world.
As long as he thought about this picture, Liu Che couldn't help but moan comfortably all over his body.
What is a cold climate?
The people of the foodie empire, as long as they can fill their stomachs, cultivate the land, and feed their children, there are people in Siberia, especially in Siberia.
Desolate, fart!
The Han dynasty currently has a registered population of about 50 million.
One percent is half a million!
In the world's population, there are millions or even more of rangers, 'heroes and heroes' who steal and 'hammer men' who specialize in beating sticks in the wild.
These uncles are lawless in the inland counties, stealing chickens and dogs, and even killing people and stealing goods, robbing and raping local officials with a great headache.
But if they go to Huaihua, Xinhua and North Korea.
immediately changed from a scum to a pillar of the court and the cornerstone of the society.
There are also a number of more lazy people, dreamers who dream of getting rich one day, these guys, in order to make a fortune, are willing to do even the risk of being classified as a 'ghost salary city' and go to the risk of repairing the earth to be a son-in-law, not to mention Xinhua, Huaihua and North Korea.
Isn't it just colder, it's better than repairing the earth and dying of exhaustion at the foot of the Great Wall, right?
And those peasants who have been cornered and forced to sell themselves to others as slaves and maids, what will they think if they hear rumors that even fools can pick up gold in Xinhua, Huaihua, and North Korea?
"As long as people pass, don't be afraid that they won't stay......" Liu Che tapped his fingers and thought. I originally planned to immigrate millions of ...... from Xinhua to Huaihua to North Korea."
"However, the people of the world are inseparable from their homeland, and they are unwilling to go to the cold and barren wilderness unless they have to......"
"If you follow the normal method, you won't be able to operate for decades, or even hundreds of years. These territories are almost indigestible ......"
"I can't wait decades. Not to mention hundreds of years! Liu Che thought of this, and his mind was already decided: "The more time passes." The greater the variables, not to mention the fact that I can't live for another hundred years! β
The emperors of all dynasties, except for Qianlong, who can live to be eighty years old?
Even if you are sixty years old, you already belong to the 'high life'.
For Liu Che, he hopes that when he leaves, the country will already be able to speak. The foundation of the thousand-year-old empire was set - even if the descendants were not good, the later dynasty would be able to reign over the world again and take on the world alone.
The Northeast, the Far East, and North Korea can eliminate all land threats from the Northeast.
It can also turn neon into a real 10,000-year-old small suffer, RBQ through the ages.
China, which occupies the Korean Peninsula, can be uninterrupted 365 days a year to adjust and educate it, so that it can know what it means to have fatherly love like a mountain.
The ghost father plot can be filmed from the 1st generation to the N+ generation......
When you think like this, Xuanmuro Temple. It's already here.
Liu Che stepped out of the car, and Wang Dao immediately came panting to report: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Fenyin and Zhi Jinwu are already waiting in the side hall!" β
Liu Che nodded, and pressed his hand on the saber at his waist. Stride forward.
No one knows what Liu Che talked about with Fenyinhou, Zhou Zuoche, and Zhijin Wuzhi on this day.
But. That night, a rumor or rumor spread in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
By the time the next morning. Even the old ladies in Chang'an City knew about such a thing.
"Did you hear that?" Countless people mysteriously pulled their neighbors and whispered: "Xinhua found something amazing over there - a mountain of gold, ah......"
"I heard. Huaihua County Guard and Xinhua Ling Bo Shi sent 3,000 people! Someone deliberately emphasized the number: "Hear me, it's three thousand!" I went to that gold mountain to pick up gold, and I couldn't finish it for three days and three nights, and even the wheels of the carriage transporting gold were crushed......"
These guys drooled as they said this, fantasizing about such a scene.
With their knowledge and vision, they could not imagine such a scene.
"Brother, you have a mistake in this news...... the original audience also said mysteriously: "I heard Wang Dalang in Dongsanli say that his uncle's cousin's brother-in-law and brother's uncle were on an errand in the palace, and listening to what he said, there was no gold mountain at all...... It is said that there are hundreds of miles of river in the river, and it is full of sand with gold sand in the river, and it is a fool to take a sieve and sift it by the river for a day, and you can also get a few taels of gold dust! β
"And ah......" The man said triumphantly: "It doesn't matter if it's that river, it is said that there are many similar sections of rivers in Xinhua, North Korea and the newly established Huaihua River, but they have not yet been discovered......
All kinds of rumors and legends were immediately spread all over Chang'an.
True and false, or absurd, or bizarre, or bizarre things, are also mixed in these stories.
In the afternoon, in these stories, there was 'the Holy Son of Heaven is incomparably benevolent, he senses heaven and earth, Taiyi has a spirit, descends to the supernatural powers, points to the mountains and rivers of Xinhua and Korea, and blesses the Han family, so the river sand produces gold and the land produces oil. And so on
The alchemists were not willing to be lonely, and immediately jumped out.
So, the story changed again.
On the basis of the original version, the alchemists and the gods added private goods one after another, and carried out artistic processing to make the story more in line with their respective interests.
So much so that when these stories spread to Huayin and Xinfeng, the people of Guanzhong said: "You are so bragging, do your parents know?" β
And the princes also said: "You people in the market, are you idle and boring, we princes don't know about such things, how do you know?" Don't spread rumors! β
But at night, these guys used all kinds of means, the eight immortals crossed the sea, and tried their best to get together with Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
No matter what means, no method, one by one blinked their bright eyes, and looked at Liu Che pitifully.
There are princes who have a close relationship with the royal family.
For example, the guys surnamed Liu shyly took the map of their family's grace, ran to Liu Che's side, and asked cutely: "Your Majesty, are there rivers in these places sealed by the ministers?" β
When he received the reply that there was indeed a river, the man immediately thanked him with joy.
And when he learned that there was no river, he cried and grabbed the ground, splashed and rolled, and if you don't change the emperor, Lao Tzu went to cry for the posture of the high temple.
And the relationship with the royal family is more estranged, is a gentleman who looks like a serious gentleman, but secretly quietly pulls a close minister of the emperor, such as a eunuch, Shang Shulang, a few jade or gold objects stuffed over, and then, with a respectful attitude, asked: "Please ask Ming Gong to help a certain check to check, is there a river in this Jiaen fief of a certain one?" β
There was a small episode in the middle, and Wu Yuan Houwei found that his Jiaen fiefdom seemed to be the closest to the newly discovered Jinsha Riverβabout less than three hundred miles away.
Then, Wei Buxian was immediately watched.
At least twenty liehous said that their daughters had been in the boudoir for a long time, and they felt that Wei Junhou was young and promising, and it seemed that she should be a good match.
Poor Lao Wei's family used to be just a liehou family who ate and waited for death, and they had always been unknown.
When it comes to Wei Buxiao's generation, almost no one cares about it, so that Wei Buxiao is now eighteen years old, and he has not yet married a wife - the liehou has the pride of the liehou, and generally will not intermarry with the non-liehou, especially the main wife, if you can't marry the princess surnamed Liu, then you must at least marry a well-connected liehou, and the minimum standard must be a Guan Neihou, Zuo Shu or something......
Many people don't even look down on the daughter of 2,000 stones.
And Wei is not harmful, he is not handsome when he is born, and his family has no money.
Wuyuan is a pimple, in the poor countryside of the south, although there are 2,800 households in the food, but there is no money, and even 1,000 households can't collect taxes a year.
The concubines of the liehou's family or something, they don't look down on him at all.
Only the concubine or something can be discussed.
But Wei didn't want to compromise and didn't want to settle, so the matter dragged on.
But now, Wei Buxian has suddenly become a sweetheart.
Even Qu Zhou Hou Li sent and Gong Gao Hou Han said that the concubine or something, it is not impossible to discuss.
However, after getting married, it is his daughter who is in charge......
Wei Buxiao suddenly felt that his life had suddenly become a comedy......
And the princes who have a closer relationship with Liu Che.
For example, Guan Tao came to the door by himself.
Guan Tao said that he wanted to ask his husband and two sons to intercede with the emperor's son-in-law.
Well, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just to let the emperor's son-in-law exchange it for a fiefdom.
It is better to move the place to fifty miles near the 'Jinsha River', of course, a hundred miles can barely be considered.
waited for Liu Che to finally send Liu away from the prostitution.
The Dou family and the Bo family also said: Your Majesty, the door is open, and it is very important to treat them equally. Your Majesty, you can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous people.
Even the two queen mothers of the East Palace sent someone over to spread the word: Emperor, the affection of the family is very important, and the river crab of the family is bigger than the sky! (To be continued.) )
