We often see such a clip in the costume drama, that is, when the emperor rewards the meritorious people, the general saying will say that the marquis will be given to the field, and there is "rewarding gold ten thousand two", which can't help but let the audience sigh that the emperor is so generous, although he knows that the imperial court is not short of money, but always feel that this reward is too rich, for this, there are also many people who are very curious, the ancient gold ten thousand two, equivalent to how much money is now?
Then let's take the current gold market price to calculate, now it is about a gram of gold more than three hundred dollars, so if you calculate, ten thousand gold needs hundreds of millions of yuan, you imagine, even if the national treasury has money, it can not withstand this hundred million yuan of reward expenditure! Is that really the case? Obviously not, to know that the equipment for mining gold in ancient times is far less advanced than it is now, so the difficulty of gold mining is large, and the reserves are limited, so it is impossible to squander it to this extent.
In fact, the gold of ancient times and modern pure gold is very different, first of all, in purity, secondly, in ancient times, a lot of gold luminous are considered to be gold, and we know that in fact, copper is also similar, the most important point is that the weights and measures of each dynasty are not the same, such as the Han Dynasty that will be equivalent to the current 16 grams, then ten thousand two is 160,000 grams, not the real sense of gold ten thousand two.
In addition, at that time, the emperor's reward for the hero was not all given to gold, but would be replaced by some residential mansions, grain or fields, now everyone should understand it, many netizens have expressed disbelief after reading it, and lamented that they have been deceived by TV dramas over the years, what do you think about this?
