The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 3 Li An prepares to return to Zhenguan

It rained heavily and Li An came to a shopping mall in despair. At this time, Li An's eyes had no soul at all, because he had lost all hope. At this moment, the TV in the mall suddenly rang: "The reason why many modern Western countries call Blue Star Country X Tangren, and the streets where Blue Star Country X gathers is called Chinatown, is because of the most prosperous dynasty of Blue Star Country X: the Tang Dynasty!

The Tang Dynasty not only ranked first in the world in terms of political, military, and economic capabilities, but its coin culture also prospered and developed, playing an extremely important role in enlightening the future market and allowing copper coins with an outer circle and an inner square to develop for thousands of years.

Kaiyuan Tongbao, Qianfeng Quanbao, Qianyuan Chongbao, Dali Yuanbao, Jianzhong Tongbao, Huichang Kaiyuan, Deyi Yuanbao, and Shuntian Yuanbao are all inheritors of Tang Dynasty coins, and they are still loved by many coin enthusiasts today.

One of the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan Tongbao official script Xiaoping gold is worth 9 yuan each. "

Li An's soulless eyes suddenly brightened up at this moment. Li An's eyes were fixed on the TV screen in the glass window, listening to the host inside introducing himself to the knowledge about the coins of the Tang Dynasty.

Kaiyuan Tongbao is a copper currency minted in the Tang Dynasty. Coins began to have "Tongbao" in the Tang Dynasty.In the early Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty's five baht was used, which was light, small and mixed.

Kaiyuan Tongbao was created in the fourth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan. In order to rectify the chaotic currency system, he abolished Sui money and imitated the strict norms of the five baht in the Western Han Dynasty, and minted "Kaiyuan Tongbao" to replace the remaining five baht in society.

It is eight cents in diameter, weighs two baht and four bamboo poles, accumulates ten coins and weighs one tael, and weighs one thousand coins and weighs six catties and four taels. "The money inscription was written by the calligrapher Ouyang Xun, with the inscription "Kaiyuan Tongbao" on the face, and the shape still follows the Qin square hole round coin.

In addition to copper, the Tang Dynasty also cast gold and silver Kaiyuan Tongbao.

These two kinds of precious metal coins are only given as royal rewards for dignitaries to enjoy and are not put into circulation. Therefore, their existence is very small. Especially the Jin Kaiyuan is even more precious.

There is a poem that says: "Emperor Kaiyuan had pity in his palm and lived in the world for 20 years. He always said that he had a banquet at Chengtianmen and hundreds of officials gathered money downstairs." This shows the luxury of the prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. In 1970, 30 gold Kaiyuan Tongbao were unearthed in Hejiacun, Xi'an. This was the only discovery of that period, which shows how rare it is.

One gold kaiyuan is worth 9 yuan. Li An's heart was hit hard. One gold kaiyuan is worth 9 yuan. So as long as he can get six Tang Dynasty gold kaiyuan, he can have 54 yuan.

It is difficult to get Jin Kaiyuan in modern times. It is almost impossible for you to get it. But if you go back to the Tang Dynasty to get Jin Kaiyuan, would it be easier? Some time ago, I went to Huatian Village in Chang'an County of the Tang Dynasty. If it were really During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, if you brought some modern items to exchange for them, even if you couldn't exchange them for Jin Kaiyuan, you could still hope to get a lot of money if you exchanged them for some Tang Dynasty antiques.

Finally, at this moment, Li An's eyes slowly lit up, as if the world finally gave Li An a glimmer of hope in his dark life. Li An could give up a kidney for his daughter, so he also I will venture into the unknown Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty for my daughter.

In the evening, Li An returned to his home first, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then went to the hospital. He met with his daughter, comforted her, and then stayed with his daughter in the hospital. Night.

The next morning, after having breakfast with his daughter, Li An left the hospital. First, Li An returned home. This time, Li An went home to burn the boat. Li An directly went to the real estate agency. , sold his house.

Everything in his house was packed up, and the real estate agency gave him 7 yuan. After receiving 7 yuan, Li An returned to the hospital and transferred [-] yuan into the hospital's account, leaving [-] yuan.Li An began to prepare for his trip to Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.

Historical books record that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, under the governance of Li Shimin and famous officials like Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. All nations came to the dynasty and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. But is this really the case?
It can only be said that it is not entirely true. The history books are a bit boastful of the Zhenguan period. To be honest, the real Zhenguan period was actually very bitter. People can eat two thick meals a day, which is already very good.

It is true that Li Shimin implemented a lot of benevolent policies, but after Li Shimin came to power, the entire Tang Dynasty also suffered from various disasters. The locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan. According to historical records, the area around Chang'an in the second year of Zhenguan was extremely dry. Under such circumstances, Chang'an A large-scale locust plague occurred in the region. For a time, the Chang'an area was starved to death, and the people even went to the point of exchanging their children for food.

There are also some disasters that have not been recorded in history, such as floods, earthquakes, rat infestations, etc. The Zhenguan years were not easy. These disasters displaced many people. These displaced people either became beggars and sold themselves into slaves. slave.

There is another kind of people who gather in the mountains and forests to rob homes and homes. There are many people like this. If you can’t survive, what will you do if you don’t become a bandit?
Therefore, it can be inferred that the banditry during the Zhenguan period was actually not light. In order to control the banditry, Li Shimin also did something that has been passed down for thousands of years, which is to release 329 death row prisoners, let them go home for the New Year, and then come back to die a year later. .

The final result was that all the condemned prisoners returned in 329, Li Shimin was happy, and finally all were acquitted. In fact, after these condemned prisoners returned home, they were immediately secretly monitored by Baiqi. If you dare to run, then your whole family will be killed. .

What happened this time is to influence those who are bandits. Li Shimin wants to tell everyone that as long as you go home and live a good life, I can pardon the death row prisoners, not to mention you people?
This trick was very clever. Later, many bandits secretly gave up their status as bandits and went home to farm honestly.

Li An's trip to the Tang Dynasty for the tenth year of Zhenguan cannot be without danger, so when Li An went to the Tang Dynasty for the tenth year of Zhenguan, he first had to equip himself, first of all, clothes. Li An bought a set of clothes from the Zhenguan period. The clothes include a futou, an undershirt, a robe, a pair of hakama, and a pair of leather boots. Because Ang Lee wanted to dress up as a salesman this time, the clothes were very ordinary, followed by a dagger, a pistol, and 36 bullets.

Some people are surprised, where did you get this pistol?

Because Blue Star Country X allows guns.

Haha, why do you want to keep 1 yuan? Because this thing cost 8000 yuan. Only by keeping a handful of this by your side can Li An feel safe. The other party also gave me a stab-proof suit. You know, this stab-proof suit It was also very expensive, and Li An was very grateful to the other party for sending it directly.

Li An went to make money this time, not to die. Safety was the most important thing. No one knew what it was like during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, so Li An did not dare to rush in rashly with a hot weapon in his hand. , and he also has a stab-proof suit on him, which will make Li An feel much more at ease.

This time Li An bought two glass cups to exchange for gold Kaiyuan. In the Tang Dynasty, glass cups were called crystal cups. At that time, Liuli was the main force and there was no way to make transparent glass cups. Li An believed in himself This pair of glasses, which are worth a few dollars in modern times, must have been priceless during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to glasses, Li An also brought some other small things, such as glass beads, artificial pearls, artificial diamonds, etc., followed by some medicines, asthma medicine, amoxicillin, penicillin, etc. Why did he bring these medicines? Li An knew that the eldest grandson of the [-]th year of Zhenguan would die this year due to asthma. Li An thought that if he met a famous doctor in the palace, he might be able to take the asthma medicine and give it a try. If the eldest grandson of the Empress was cured, Li Shimin would also give it a try. Don’t reward yourself harshly.

At that time, I could have as much gold as I wanted. As for whether curing Queen Changsun would change history, that had nothing to do with me. As long as Li An wanted money, the world would be destroyed, and that had nothing to do with Li An. relation.

He just wanted his daughter Li Duoduo to get well. Even if he gave up the world, Li An would not blink an eye. With everything ready, Li An started to go to the cave.

　After listening to people's advice to eat enough, a certain country was changed to Blue Star Country
