    With the existence of "fairness", that is to say, every time you pour wine, you cannot pour too much. If you pour too much, the wine will flow out of the small holes. This is "fairness".  "Fairness" is a concept of drinking in ancient times. It is a constraint and norm for drinking high-alcohol alcohol.  Therefore, although the Xixia Kingdom was a country established by ethnic minorities, they once had an extremely glorious civilization.  Although this period of civilization was built on the pain of the Song Dynasty, the more powerful Yuan and Meng Empire stepped on their bones to build an even more brilliant glory.  And this kind of glory is still going on, and only by opening the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, the glory of the Yuan-Meng Empire will be truly exposed to the eyes of the world.  Of course, the world cannot see it now. The only people who can see this kind of glory now are Han Kongque and others.  Looking at the mountains of copper coins, when can copper coins be used to block doors?  When I opened the diamond wall, I didn¡¯t see the expected tomb passage, but instead saw endless copper coins, a sea of ??copper coins here.  "These are all Song coins. Could it be that these were plundered from the Southern Song Dynasty?" Mu Ling held some copper coins and asked while examining them.  Korean Peacock didn¡¯t have much interest in these copper coins. Because the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, they issued a lot of copper coins at that time. There are also a lot of gift coins excavated in modern times, so Song coins are not rare at all.  In this way, no matter how much Song Dynasty money appears here, it will not be valuable, and it will not even have collection value.  Of course, the appearance of so many Song Dynasty coins is still very shocking. Maybe using these Song Dynasty coins to build a copper mountain can also attract a large number of people to visit.  "Aren't we speculating that we should now encounter the treasures of the Jin Kingdom that were destroyed by Mongolia? How come there are so many Song coins?" Huangshan said a little confused.  "Hurry up and clear the passage. This is not necessarily a relic of the Northern Song Dynasty. It may be from the Jin Kingdom." Han Kongque said.  "From the Kingdom of Jin? All money here is obviously from the Song Dynasty." Jin Yao asked.  Mu Ling explained: "Although the Jin Kingdom also issued coins back then, most of the money they used was Song money. Therefore, when Song money appears, it does not necessarily belong to the people of the Song Kingdom. It may also be from the Jin Kingdom." "  The metallurgical industry of the Jin Kingdom was very developed at that time, and they still had some good things. Pay close attention to them. If you find the ancient coins issued by the Jin Kingdom, they will be very valuable." Han Kongque said with a smile.  Although the Jin Kingdom was founded by the Jurchens, they were different from the Nurhaci family. The Jin Kingdom was extremely powerful at that time, both in terms of force and culture.  This is incomparable with wild boar skin, and wild boar skin only inherited some of the cultural heritage of the Jin Dynasty, so it was called Houjin.  "The boss guessed it very accurately. Look, this is the weapon of the Kingdom of Jin." Mu Ling found a mace from nowhere. It looked very powerful.  "This is the weapon used by the Jin people?" Jin Yao said in surprise.  "I know that the Mongolians use Mongolian scimitars, but the Jin people use maces?" Huangshan also said in surprise.  Han Kongque said: "Jurchen soldiers are strong and use heavy weapons, such as maces. These weapons are very powerful when used." "It takes a lot of iron to make maces." Mu Lingruo has  The way of thinking.  "Don't underestimate the Jurchens. The Jurchens during the Jin Kingdom still had a very developed civilization, such as metallurgy." Han Peacock said.  Compared to the Later Jin Dynasty, the civilization of the Jin Kingdom was much more powerful. More than 10 iron mines and more than 50 iron-making sites have been found in the middle Jin Dynasty. The mines are as deep as more than 40 meters, and there are different operating areas such as mining and mineral processing.  ?According to estimates of the scale of mining, four to five million tons of iron ore have been mined from these mines.  At that time, the Jin Kingdom was not only powerful in metallurgy. At that time, they occupied most of the land in the north, so the ceramic industry was also relatively developed because of the foundation of the Liao and Song Dynasties.  Especially during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Jin Dynasty, the famous northern kilns such as Yaozhou Kiln, Jun Kiln, Dingzhou Kiln and Cizhou Kiln were all occupied by them, and production was resumed one after another. Therefore, the porcelain of the Jin Kingdom was also top-notch.  Of course, the gold, silver and jade industries are also quite developed, and many precious cultural relics have been unearthed.  During that era, the commercial activities of the Jin Kingdom gradually became more active. A large number of Song Dynasty copper coins were found in Jin Dynasty ruins and tombs in the Northeast, which shows the close trade with the south.  The bamboo paper of Jishan in Shanxi and the hemp paper of Pingyang were famous for a while, and book engraving became a popular trend. Its wood carving technology can be compared with that of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the center of the woodblock printing industry was in Pingyang.  Other things have not been discovered by Han Peacock yet, but the coins of the Kingdom of Jin have begun to appear.?.  Passing through a large amount of Song coins, coins made by the Jin Kingdom were specially selected by Han Peacock and the others.  However, the Jin Kingdom did not issue many copper coins. Instead, some banknotes were flooded. Fortunately, these banknotes were all placed in wooden boxes and surrounded by a large number of copper coins, so they were not affected by moisture and did not rot.  I opened some wooden boxes and checked the contents. They were either treasure notes, treasure passes, or treasure coupons.  Seeing these things, Han Peacock felt that it was normal, because there were really not many copper coins in the Jin Kingdom.  At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, old money from the Liao and Song Dynasties, as well as money minted by Liu Yu of the puppet Qi Dynasty, were used as a means of circulation. After Hailing moved south, money began to be minted. However, due to the limited copper production in the country, the same money was not enough to meet the needs of commodity exchange.  Therefore, a large number of "Jiaobao", "Baoqian", "Tongbao", "Baoquan", etc. were printed as substitutes for minting and have been used as means of circulation.  However, the unrestricted issuance of token coins such as "Jiaobao" led to the loss of credibility. Therefore, in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, as the political rule gradually collapsed, the financial order also gradually collapsed.  During the reign of Emperor Aizong, the "Tianxing Baohui" was created to circulate cash. The face value was divided into four grades: "one coin", "two coins", "three coins", and "five coins".  Since there was no credibility at all, it was completely unworkable within a month. ?? Han Peacock really didn¡¯t know that the Mongols robbed everything, and they even robbed these rubbish. Maybe they thought that as long as it was paper, it was a good thing, so they brought it all back and used it for burial.  The discovery of these treasure banknotes gave Han Peacock a little hope. You must know that both the Mongols and the Jurchens have robbed the Song Dynasty, so a large number of Song Dynasty treasures may appear here.  Of course, Han Kongque was looking forward to calligraphy and painting, not gold, silver and copper coins, because he found too many of these things here.  Since the Mongols even snatched scraps of paper as burial objects, will the calligraphy and paintings from the Song Dynasty also appear here?  However, Han Peacock soon became disappointed because Mu Ling found many more gold ingots.  "Emperor's gold ingot?" When he took it over and took a look, Han Kongque recognized it. It was an emperor's gold ingot from the Jin Dynasty, because it had been excavated from other ancient tombs and was also collected in the Dazu Stone Carvings Museum.  This kind of gold ingot has the portrait of the emperor and the seal characters are very easy to recognize, so Han Kongque recognized it at a glance.  This kind of "Emperor's Gold Ingot" from the Great Jin Kingdom was discovered for the first time in the Bayu area. At the same time, artifacts from the Great Jin Kingdom and the Jurchen tribe were also discovered.  I heard that the discovery was an accident. When local villagers were digging, they pulled out a square "gold nugget" with an ancient emperor's head engraved on the front and seal characters on the back. It was hard to read.  The villagers suspected it was a ¡°gold ingot¡± they had never seen before, and quickly reported it to the local government and cultural relics department.  Relevant experts from the Dazu Stone Carving Museum rushed to the scene and after preliminary identification, the item was a rare gilt commemorative ingot of "Dajin Deshengtuo Song", weighing 454 grams, made of red copper and gilt on the surface.  The front is engraved with a bust of Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu wearing armor, the left and right sides are respectively engraved with the pattern of "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness", and the seal script on the back is "Ode to the Great Golden Victory Tuo".  In September 1114, Wanyan leader A Gu launched an army to attack Liao and swore an oath on the banks of the present-day Lalin River. In October of the same year, he conquered Jiangzhou of Liao.  After Aguda founded the country, he named the place where he pledged his loyalty "Deshengtuo".  After Aguda died, Jin Shizong ordered a monument to be erected to commemorate it, and it was engraved into the first monument in the Jin Kingdom: the "Dajin Deshengtuo Ode Monument".  Based on historical facts, it is speculated that this kind of gilt copper ingot is likely to be circulated as the early currency of the Jin Kingdom or stored as gold bricks.  The gilt copper ingot "Ode to Victorious Tuo of the Great Gold" may be a commemorative or reward "gold ingot" issued to the world in memory of Taizu Jin.  Therefore, printing one's surrender on coins is not a modern invention. Nine hundred years ago, people carved their own faces on gold ingots.  ¡®So, when Han Peacock saw this gold ingot, he also had a thought. One day, my face will also appear on the empire¡¯s gold coins.  However, Han Kongque¡¯s expression soon changed, because after cleaning up the emperor¡¯s gold ingots, more rectangular gold ingots, cubic gold ingots, oval gold ingots, and gourd-shaped gold ingots were found.  Such a gold ingot does not look like it was cast by the Kingdom of Jin. When he saw the inscription on it clearly, Han Kongque's face became even worse, because he knew where this gold ingot came from.  "What's wrong, boss?" Sensing that there was something wrong with Han Kongque's aura, Huangshan immediately said vigilantly.  However, no matter how Huangshan checked the surrounding situation, it didn't look like he was in danger. Han Kongque's state at this time seemed to be angry?  I saw so many gold ingots,Should I be happy?  Why are you still angry?  Huangshan is puzzled.  Han Peacock smiled bitterly and said: "These gold ingots should belong to the Song Dynasty, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty. Their appearance here can only prove that we Han people were weak." "Northern Song Dynasty? It is normal for gold ingots from the Northern Song Dynasty to appear here.  Right?" Huangshan looked at Han Peacock in confusion, what's there to be angry about?  There are so many ethnic groups that have been robbed by the Mongols, so there is no need to be angry now, right?  "Are you sure it's a gold ingot from the Song Dynasty?" Mu Ling said with an unsightly expression.  (~^~)
