In these years, it cannot be said that there are no copper coins to trade, but it can only be said that the number is far less than imagined, and bartering is the mainstream.
In addition, compared with copper coins with chaotic styles and different qualities, the mainstream currency is actually silk or silk, and the higher-grade currency is silk or satin.
Cloth is the currency of circulation almost the entire ancient history of Chinese civilization, after all, copper coins can only be melted down to make some tools or utensils in addition to money, but people can not live without a pair of clothes, so it is not difficult to understand.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shuzhong has been a place rich in cloth, especially with brocade or silk craftsmanship is the highest.
That may be related to the regional plant growth environment, or it may also be caused by the climate, but there is no doubt that the cloth in Shu has always been a relatively superior product of Chinese civilization.
Zan Jian brought a large amount of cloth, mostly linen and brocade, and a small amount of silk, silk and silk.
Of course, silk is not silk, silk is divided into several kinds, and the types of satin are not few, and there are even many categories of silk systems, how can they all be the same.
There was no process to produce silk on the Han side, and if they tried to find a way to find a way from the south of the Yangtze River, they were also blocked by those gate valves and families, and even the amount of silk that could be purchased was not much.
"When you convert it, the value of the goods is quite substantial."
Lu Yi's face was full of excitement, he had to be excited, the silk was enough, the most important thing was that Zan Jian also brought slaves who knew how to make silk.
He looked at Liu Yan with blank eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you should take it no matter what."
It's not just the batch of goods that were transported to the next level, but there are still a large number of goods on the Yangtze River that have not landed.
If you count the goods data on Zan Jian's report, the Han Ministry needs to pay nearly 20,000 units for weapons alone, and this is only the first batch.
The price quoted by Li Chenghan is not excessive, and it can even be said that it is slightly cheap, which is determined by the regional location, and the cloth industry in Shuzhong is like this, and even the supply of tea is not bad, but it lacks resources related to the war.
That's right, although Shuzhong is a mountainous area, the amount of iron ore has always been a little worried, not that mountainous means more minerals.
It must be said that the development of the tea industry in Shuzhong is not a matter of one or two years, it should be developed from the Western Han Dynasty, but it competes with the tea industry around Yingchuan in the Central Plains, but recently the Central Plains has been in turmoil and the lives have been devastated, and the tea industry in the Huaxia region has become the crown of Shuzhong.
Qingzhou is too far away from Shuzhong, I don't know how long it will be before I want to use force, the two sides have the Yangtze River as a trade route, and it is actually a good thing to establish trade relations.
Huan Wen is currently under my command, so whether the Eastern Jin Dynasty will attack the Han Dynasty or not Liu Yan's inner feeling is actually quite strange: Shuzhong has always been weak, but there is a danger of mountains and rivers Liu Yan has changed a lot of history, which may be harmful to people who are familiar with history, but it is not much of a concern for a person like him who is not familiar with Wuhu Chaohua.
It is a good choice to obtain the source of cloth from Shu, and accordingly, Liu Yan is more willing to export inland river ships, and it is inevitable to control the output of weapons and armor.
Lu Yi got the instructions and left.
He was extremely inclined to form a good relationship with the Cheng Han of the Li family, trade was only one reason, and the second was that Shuzhong was too far away.
In the Central Plains in winter, the usual years may be time to stop, but this year is different.
Shijie Zhao State is still making relevant war preparations even in the snowy season, and Shi Hu is crazy and continues to draw Ding, and the whole country can recruit young and strong people to continue to gather in Yecheng.
The history that has not been changed, this year 343 A.D. is indeed the current situation of Shi Hu's large-scale conscription.
According to historical records, Shi Hu drew millions of dollars, and the states and counties fell into extreme turmoil, and about thirty percent of the young men who were transferred died on the march.
It was eaten by wild beasts, it was also attrition caused by disease, and unburied corpses were everywhere on the roads.
A large number of cigarettes are only part of the turmoil, Shi Hu has a clear order, the three of them have to dedicate a car, which is equivalent to at least a horse or ox as a foot force, and then there is a cloth to bear, so that those who can't make it up can either sell anything they can sell to make up, and if they can't make up enough, they can only take a rope to the field to find a tree and kill themselves.
The plague of Shihu is far more than the Jin people in the Central Plains, the Qiang people, the Di people, the Xiongnu and some other miscellaneous Hu, except for the Qian people who are harming others, the rest of the ethnic groups are actually in a position of being harmed.
"Except for the direction of Yuzhou, our border with Shijie has nearly two hundred miles of uninhabited land."
Ji Chang came here specially, any country is training troops and horses in this winter, how can the Han army rest assured Mao Dong pointed to the hanging map and said: "The north has confirmed the occupation of the counties south of the Yellow River, whether you are considering taking advantage of the Yellow River to freeze and occupy several dangerous places on the north bank in the past" The north bank of the Yellow River, near Qingzhou, is not a dangerous place, and it can even be said that it is a plain at all.
There is no dangerous terrain, it can only be built by the mountains and rivers, Ji Chang remembers very clearly, the peasants of the subordinate civilian system of his own army are experts in building fortresses.
The Han army did not want to survive in winter, but encroached on the surrounding no-man's land as much as possible, and built garrison points such as forts on the necessary terrain, which was one of the winter strategies of the Han army.
The footsteps north of Qingzhou will stop at the Yellow River, but it is really necessary to build some "nails" on the opposite bank, after all, the ships of the Han army are sharp, and a Yellow River is not enough to form any obstacles, but it is the trouble when the Yellow River freezes.
It was in order to prevent the Shijie Zhao army from crossing the river while the Yellow River was frozen, and those cantonment points had to be built, and the question involved was how many to build and how many troops to deploy.
"Each fortress castle can temporarily garrison a hundred troops.
Again, it is better to build a fortress ten miles apart.
Ji Chang said very arrogantly: "In this way, at least even if the direction of Jizhou is not impregnable, the Shijie Zhao army will not dare to go south without conquering the fortress on the north bank of the Yellow River."
Moreover, the existence of those fortresses is not only to prevent Shijie Zhao's army from going south, but also to target Murong Yanguo in the future. ” One castle in ten miles means that Liu Yan needs to build at least forty castles along the north bank of the Yellow River, which is not much less difficult than building a Great Wall.
"Is it necessary so much" Liu Yan is not short of resources, but the castle construction cycle is a bit pitfall, and there are not so many systematic farmers to do those things.
He frowned and said, "Tai'an, we're far from the time to keep it."
Ji Chang was directly stunned, and then looked at Liu Yan in a daze, with confusion on his face and how to say it, he was full of relief.
Originally, the Han Department owned most of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and part of Yanzhou, and the territory was not big or small, but the population was a big injury.
Ji Chang took into account the lack of population, and then Qingzhou was basically broken, but Xuzhou was slightly better.
According to the usual situation, in this state, it is necessary to take a defensive position, at least let Qingzhou recover first, and then continue to expand.
"The land may not be occupied, but if you don't attack outward, it will take too long to rely on having children to increase the population."

Liu Yan has a common problem of all modern people, because he lives in a fast-paced society, he can't wait to use one second as two seconds.
Let him wait for three or five years, and it is more uncomfortable to spend one or two decades planning something than death: "We need a large population. ” In terms of military strength, as the upper limit of the system's population reaches 25,000, Liu Yan is actually no longer worried about military strength, after all, it is the upper limit of 25,000 population that can be replenished at any time, and the worry is that the consumption of resources is getting bigger and bigger, and there is not enough labor to obtain the resources needed.
It is not difficult for the development of Qingzhou, in fact, because Liu Yan has a golden finger, the Han Department does not need to worry about food, a system farmer can cope with ten acres of land, and a 5,000 system farmer is 50,000 mu.
That is a field that produces three times a year, and each time there should be about 600 catties of output per mu, then the annual output is more than 800,000 stone of plant grain.
More than 800,000 stone of grain is close to 100 million catties according to Jin Jin, and the plant food consumed by adults every day is related to non-staple food, and the average number of plant grains consumed by an adult per day will not exceed one catty and five taels, which is still the consumption of three meals a day.
The elderly, the weak, women and children consume less food, which is about seven taels a day.
In addition to the output of the farmers in the system, the annual output of plant grain in the Han Department should be about 2.3 million stones.
Non-plant food depends on the mountains and the water, and the entire Bohai Sea is the sea of the Han Dynasty, and the amount of seafood produced can be said to be extremely terrifying.
In addition, don't forget that the Han Department is not a pure farming system, the livestock are robbed in the front, and there is a lot of trade in the back, and the overall number is actually very terrifying.
Liu Yan has thought about it a little, if the upper limit of the system population is increased in the future, he may give priority to increasing the number of farmers in the system, after all, the output of 5,000 system farmers accounts for one-third of the country's plant-based grain output, which is really too scary.
"Jun Shang has been cultivating the self-confidence and confidence of his subordinates, and it has taken three years to show initial results."
Ji Chang said happily: "It is true that it should not be kept, it should be enterprising." ” The process of conquest is to obtain population and resources, and the stronger you fight, the road to development.
However, there is one thing that Ji Chang needs to be reminded vaguely, he mentioned Shijie's rule over the Central Plains, thinking that even if there is no Han Ministry, Shijie's collapse will not be too far away.
Shijie ruled the majority with an absolute minority, and throughout history, the minority dominated the majority of the nation, which could only rely on brutality and ideological castration.
Fortunately, Shijie adopted bloody brutality rather than ideological castration, and the victims may be one or two generations, but it is better than the emasculation of thoughts for countless generations.
When the Han Department took the initiative to integrate, it carried out a kind of ideological castration, and the difference was to make those people become Han people from both soul and body.
I have to say that the power of Chinese civilization really lies here, just look at the alien race after living in the Central Plains, no matter which alien race has any culture, it will be tolerated and swallowed up by Chinese civilization in the end.
The self-confidence and resilience of a nation lies in integration, Liu Yan has full confidence that he will do well in his generation, what he needs is to win one victory after another, and give the current subordinates and future citizens a heartfelt pride in being a Han Chinese.
Of course, the food has to be eaten bite by bite, for Liu Yan, with a new military operation, then there is no need for Pengcheng, who was deliberately left to train soldiers, to exist.
The day after Liu Yan gave the order to capture Pengcheng, Lü Yi came over with Yu Yi.
"Yu Zhigong wants to visit our army's battle against Pengcheng."
Lu Yi didn't take Yu Yi to see Liu Yan directly, but arranged to communicate with Liu Yan alone in the side hall first.
He smiled and said, "In exchange, Yu Zhigong will assist us in launching a mutual market south of the Yangtze River." ” "It doesn't matter."
Liu Yan was talking about Yu Yi's visit to the Battle of Pengcheng, and what he paid more attention to was: "Those mercenaries from various countries, they didn't make any trouble."
There were Han troops infiltrating the no-man's land in the direction of Yanzhou, and those mercenaries from the Chaoxian Peninsula followed and marched, and most of them were placed in some nodes as garrisons.
It will be easier to arrange it this way, the salary that should be paid has been paid, but those mercenaries have been very idle, and they should find something to do.
Moreover, the competition for nodes in the no-man's land is actually quite fierce, and Liu Yan is not distressed by how many mercenaries from the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula have died.
Yes, the operation to prepare for the coming year's war has been carried out in earnest, first of all, the necessary infiltration and advance of the no-man's land.
The number of Han troops that were passively used in the Winter War was actually small, except for the system troops, all the people from the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula were dispatched.
"Those guys are frost-resistant."
Lu Yi said an advantage, but then he said with great disgust: "It's just that the military discipline is too bad." ” It should be said that except for the Han army's emphasis on military discipline, it should be that only the Jin army will pay attention to military discipline, and all other countries will pay a little attention to the core troops.
Liu Yan didn't talk about anything else, and asked: "Before the beginning of spring, can you get more mercenaries from the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula?"
Lu Yi is a person in charge of diplomacy, and he also knows the intentions of his own king, and said with a smile: "There are actually not many young people on the Goguryeo side.
Those in Baekje do not take their vassals as people, as long as the price is enough, they can get more.
Something has happened to the country of Silla lately."
It's also funny to say that Silla was actually raided by Ga, and Kyushu and Izumo on the Japanese islands also crossed the sea to attack the coast of Silla.
"The queen of Silla begged him to come and return to China's troops."
Lu Yi said jokingly: "They are willing to compensate, and they are even willing to send the crown prince." ” Silla is headed by the queen, and the crown prince is naturally a woman, so why did he send Liu Yan here:
