"Well, let me tell you, as you think, boldly."

Seeing that I reacted so quickly, I seemed very satisfied with my head.

I said excitedly: "Please! At that time, the Song Dynasty had to pay tribute to Xixia every year, and exchanged a lot of money for a brief peace in the northwest region!"

"There were dozens of monies in the Song Dynasty! Since tribute was paid every year, the money closest to Xixia would definitely be distributed to make annual monies, so I chose Qinfeng Road!"

"Yeah, that's right, keep talking."

I pointed to the big millstone and said, "The Xixia population was only more than 2 million at that time, and the Song Dynasty paid more than 80 million copper coins to the other party every year! In addition, the Dangxiang people had the habit of trading with goods and no copper coins, so in the early days when the Xixia national strength was strong, they had never thought of casting copper coins!"

"In the middle and late periods, the people of Xixia realized the importance of their own currency, so they began to make money themselves, but they did not have good technology. The currency they made themselves was of poor quality and had many leaks, so they sent a large number of craftsmen to learn coin minting technology in the Song Dynasty."

I'll talk about some unpopular knowledge.

At that time, no matter which emperor in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, he was a "coin-making maniac".

In the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, more than ten emperors used 43 kinds of year names. On average, each emperor had to use three different year names to make money.

Zhou Yuan, Taiping, Tianxi, Xiangfu, Xining, Yuanfeng, Yuanyou, Mingdao, Zhiping, Huangsong, Shengsong, Daguan, Chongning, Zhenghe, Xuanhe... etc., too many.

You are like "Sheng Song" and "reigns" and "reigns are purely what Huizong thinks is nice and blind.

In addition, Renzong himself appointed the "Emperor Song" reign title, which was purely for invisible display.

In the Song Dynasty, there were two ways to cast money: mother money sand turning and money model. The former is suitable for large-scale minting coins, but the accuracy is medium, while the latter is suitable for small amounts of minting coins, but the accuracy is higher.

Because the money that Dangxiang people cast by themselves was extremely ugly, they sent craftsmen to learn a complete set of money-style methods of minting coins in the Song Dynasty.

I guess this "big millstone" should have been used by the Qinfeng Road Money Supervision Bureau in the northwest. It is one of the complete set of coin casting crafts and was given to the Xixia people by the Song Dynasty.

The grooves on the top are "stuck" money style and are used for drying.

Because the money model is used to fill copper water, after it is used to a certain extent, it must be turned on and cleaned. After the water is washed, it must be dried. If it is not dried, the residual copper slag and iron slag inside will rust, affecting the quality of the coins produced.

At this time, I said, "Take your head, I guess, after the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia, Li Yuan brought some Dangxiang people to Kangding. Li Yuan knew that if a new country was established, it was important to have his own currency, so he brought this whole set of minting tools."

"They passed by here, because the drying stone was too heavy, and suddenly rolled off the carriage. The group of people tried several times but couldn't move it. Li Yuan was worried that the Mongols would chase after him, so he threw down this thing and continued to march into the mountains. Is that true?"

He praised me and said, "Well, it's right. What you said is the same as I thought. Apart from this, there is no explanation that can explain why the things from the Northwest Money Supervision Bureau came to Kangding, Sichuan."

My heart pounded.

This discovery is so important. This is the direct cultural evidence left over, proving that the Dangxiang people visited here hundreds of years ago.
