Detailed explanation-1: -The Zhou dynasty improved trade by using coins for the first time. Explanation: The Zhou dynasty traded to a large extent within China itself. They created more roads and distributed monies made of metal.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the Zhou dynasty, China underwent quite dramatic changes. Iron, ox-drawn plows, crossbows, and horseback riding were all introduced; large-scale irrigation and water-control projects were also instituted for the first time, greatly increasing the crop yield of the North China Plain.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is known that around the year 600 AC., gold, jade, and silk were traded between Europe and Western Asia and the advanced states of the Zhou dynasty (1045–221 BC).
Detailed explanation-4: -The economy of the Zhou Dynasty was based off of agriculture. Just as I mentioned in the Government section-there were many levels of social status. The social status also directed how much land and how many crops you could have. The richer, more “noble” people were, the more land and crops they could have.
