5 thoughts on “When watching the drama, the emperor rewarded his courtiers of thousands of gold. Where did you have so much gold in ancient times?”

  1. In fact, the so -called golden twin of the emperor is not a real gold, but some golden metals, such as copper and tin. So when you hear the money, there are not so many. In ancient times, the emperor was the highest leader and had supreme power and status. They not only held the power of all people's life and death, but also determined the fate of everyone. All ministers were submitted to the feet of the emperor, lived for them, and prayed for the future.
    In general, there are two kinds of rewards for the emperor, one is the official to enter the juncture, and the other is rewarded with gold and silver jewelry. This is mainly determined by the sizes of the minister. In the TV series, we can often see the emperor say: "Reward Golden Two"
    The ancient gold mining technology is not high, and it is difficult to smell high purity gold. Therefore, the purity of these gold is uneven. Generally Gold with higher purity will be stored in the treasury and will not be easily rewarded to others. As for those gold with a low purity, because of the mixed with other metal substances, the price is naturally greatly reduced. It is far from modern gold value, so it cannot be compared with the current gold.
    The output of ancient gold is not high, and it is impossible to let the emperor splurge at all. Although these metals are similar to gold, the value is far from gold. Reward to the hero hesitation.
    In addition, in general, it is not a great contribution, and the emperor cannot reward the golden ten thousand thousand. After all, those metals are limited. If all the ministers can have this reward, then even if there is Jinshan, the emperor has Jinshan Sooner or later, it will be hollowed out. And in fact, the so -called golden golden treasures are not all boxes of gold ingots, but some jewelry, various gold wares and grain clothing, etc., so the value is not as precious as golden.
