Friends who have seen costume TV dramas should have seen such a scene. Most of the money used by ancient people to buy things was real money, especially some rich people. When they took it out, it was a large piece of gold and silver, which led many people to think that there was a lot of real gold and silver in ancient times. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. In ancient China, not only the amount of gold was extremely scarce, but also the silver and copper mines. Resources are not as rich as those described in TV series.

China didn't have so much real money in ancient times, but it will definitely be less now. But for most ordinary people, the amount of real money will not have much impact on daily life, because it is basically not needed when shopping, mainly using copper coins. And like silver, most of them are used by businessmen when trading goods, and ordinary people don't need silver at all.

And no gold. Ancient gold is a very precious metal, just like gold jewelry now. In addition, compared with modern people, there is a big gap between ancient people's survey and mining technology. Because of this, it is very difficult for them to mine gold and silver, especially gold, and the annual output is even less. Many people may think that silver should be mined better than gold. In fact, silver is as scarce as gold. It is conceivable that China's ancient gold and silver resources are very scarce, how can we increase the number of modern times?

In fact, modern gold and silver resources, to a certain extent, are much more than those in ancient times. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of mining technology, people's technology in mining resources will certainly improve, but due to the lack of resources, the real amount of silver is still relatively scarce. People usually like to process gold and silver into all kinds of jewelry, which is also beautiful to wear on their bodies.
