In the history of our country, Qin Shi Huang was the first unified currency of weights and measures of the king, can be said to have created a historical precedent, and then after development, silver has become the common currency of our country, we can often see everyone using silver when watching TV, so where has so much silver in ancient times gone now?
We all know that ancient money was silver, and it was measured in two units. In large households or in the homes of officials, there are hundreds of thousands of savings. There are also at least a few dozen or two in small households. So as the most circulating currency in contemporary times, how come it has disappeared now? Speaking of which, the mood is very heavy.
First of all, in ancient times, silver was used as money by people, and it also became people's funerary products. After the death of some particularly wealthy merchants or nobles, many of their funerary items are specially created with gold and silver, and silver is not a renewable resource, so it will be less to use some.
Secondly, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers opened the door of China in a cruel way, and the Qing government and the great powers signed various unequal compensation treaties, including how many hundreds of millions of yuan were compensated for silver, and silver suffered heavy losses in this plunder.
