"Yes, what I hope your Majesty will do is applicable to any coin. But if you want to take the power of all coins in the world, in addition to using violence, you can only find ways to attract people and establish yourself as irreplaceable.
Status. That is to say, in addition to the title of the Goddess of Gold Coins, you also have to do things that only you can do but mortals cannot do, so that people can attract people to give up using original coins and switch to new money." Lin Na
He picked up a new silver coin and placed it next to his face to emphasize.
After thinking for a while, Ke Yin asked: "Does this have something to do with the metal-related godhead you gave me?"
"Yes." Lin took out the good coins, bad coins and ordinary coins of different appearance and origin from the money box he brought, displayed them on the table, and said at the same time: "Now the coins circulating in the land are lost.
The biggest problem with coins is that their values are inconsistent. Therefore, in terms of use, good coins are the most popular, and ordinary coins are the most widely circulated. However, although the areas where bad coins circulate are limited, they are the only medium of exchange in those limited areas.
.It’s just that once you leave those places, bad coins will not only be refused collection, but may even be discarded directly.”
Money being thrown away is something that is hard to imagine before someone travels through time. But in Lost Land, it is not big news. Speaking of which, this is also caused by some preconceived notions. Some things that time travelers take for granted,
In Lost Land, it's not so natural.
On Earth, no matter which country, the currency issued by the country has purchasing power guaranteed by law in that country. As long as it is a banknote or currency in circulation, the party being paid must accept it, otherwise there is a risk of breaking the law. Even the currency cannot be damaged at will.
, otherwise it will also violate the law.
But in Mystery, the reason why coins have purchasing power is that they themselves have value. From the perspective of barter, it can be understood that a certain amount of coins has the same value as the thing to be purchased, so it can be fair
Exchange for land. But bad currency is no longer included in this list.
Imagine that you go to the vegetable market to buy eggs. When the prices of eggs are the same, there are good eggs, but the boss refuses to give them to you. He insists on giving you rotten eggs. You don’t throw the rotten eggs directly in the boss’s face.
, that is considered well-educated. As long as you are a normal person, you will of course choose eggs that are not broken.
The situation of bad currency is equivalent to rotten eggs in Lost Land. If there is a choice, no one will accept bad currency. The situation of bad currency driving out good coins does not exist in Lost Land.
When some reputable big businessmen get bad coins, they will throw the bad coins into the river, the furnace or any place where the corpses can be destroyed, and then ask the buyer to buy the goods, please take what they can accept.
Coins come. This is normal in Lost Land, and it is also what surprises Lin.
But do bad coins have no value? They also contain precious metals, but the proportion may be lower. Or they were originally ordinary coins or good coins, but due to the wear and tear of long-term use, they not only distorted and deformed, but also weighed more.
It is a loss, so it is not accepted by people. However! There are still precious metals in these coins, which does not mean that gold has completely disappeared.
Ke Yin was once an adventurer traveling in the lost world, and he also played the role of a logistics manager supporting a legendary team to fight against the remnants of the Dark Legion. The coins of that era were more confusing, and their value was more difficult to judge.
There are even counterfeit coins circulating, using brass instead of gold and tin instead of silver. All kinds of counterfeit coins emerge in endlessly.
Therefore, Ke Yin understands very well how lucky it is for the user to have a coin whose value is widely recognized. At least when he wants to buy a life-saving potion, he will not be rejected by merchants because the coin on him is not recognized.
Outside the door, the person you want to save cannot be saved. What is more regretful than letting your companions who may survive die because of your own inability to do so.
It's just that after he became a god, like most gods, he only represented concepts and passively responded to the things requested by believers. But he was not able to do everything. He or any god was still a long way from being omniscient and omnipotent.
He never thought about what he wanted to do actively. It wasn't until this magician appeared in front of him that he knew that he might be able to do a lot of things. Not to mention that these things would be of great benefit to him now, rather than just for some ideals.
, giving without expecting anything in return.
Now that he understood the role he should play, Ke Yin didn't pretend to be pretentious and asked directly: "Then what should I do? This time, you won't throw another question and ask me to figure it out on my own.
"The words and eyes of the halfling goddess couldn't hide the worry. She didn't feel like a god anymore, like a servant enslaved by this magician.
Lin laughed loudly and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? This thing is very simple, but only His Majesty can do it."
"Say it."
"Your Majesty, you have mastered a magical technique that can identify coins, and this is an extension. If you master the divine power I provided before, I wonder if you can analyze the pure metal composition of each coin.
What proportions, and how much weight."
But Ke Yin flipped his hand and transformed the godhead from Vulkan. The godhead that was originally changing its appearance like an amoeba was actually quite well-behaved and round in the hands of a real god.
, like an egg.
When Lin saw this, he was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you didn't absorb it."
"Except for gods with similar concepts, which can directly expand one's divine power if absorbed, absorbing unrelated gods is no less than poison to us. If you eat it, you will not necessarily die, and if you survive it, it will not necessarily be beneficial.
Or it may just make myself weaker. I have to determine what I need and really help increase my strength. That is the part I can keep. The rest I will give up and let it return to its original state.
The forms are waiting for those who are willing to collect and condense them."
"That's it. I thought it would be like the Great Return Pill or some small blue pill. If you take it, it will directly increase your skill for a hundred years. It seems that I am too superficial. What is the most primitive form of the godhead?"
"Oh, are you interested in knowing?" Ke Yin looked at someone with a half-smile.
Lin shook his head directly and said: "Forget it, that kind of thing is not important. Let's put it on your Majesty's business first." As he said that, Lin took out a water cube. It was ten centimeters long, wide and high. At four degrees Celsius
, when the density is at its maximum, this water cube weighs exactly one thousand grams. Lin roughly explained the standards of weights and measures, and then asked Ke Yin to start analyzing the metal content of the coins in circulation in Qi Mi.
With the benchmark for comparison and the help of the metal godhead, this work went faster than anyone imagined. What Lin did was to standardize the final information, what was necessary to know, and what was
It can be made public, and what are the key points? There can be no errors.
After analyzing the composition of each coin, the next step is to compare it with the mother money and calculate how much mother money the coin is equal to. Of course, Lin has taught the four arithmetic operations to this person early on.
She is a halfling goddess. She will be useful for accounting in the future anyway. How could a god related to money not even know the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
However, after analyzing the composition of the coins in circulation and comparing the weight of the mother coins, Ke Yin got a result that surprised him. He carefully twisted the three mother coins of gold, silver and copper and asked: "Are you sure?"
Is this result correct?"
"Your Majesty, what do you think is unreasonable?" Lin asked.
"According to your request, only the weight ratio of pure gold, pure silver and pure copper is calculated. Ordinary coins are approximately equal to 0.9 to 1.1 new coins. Good coins have an exchange ratio of 1.2 or even 1.3 or more. However, it is regarded as inferior.
There is also an exchange ratio between 0.6 and 0.7 coins. Is this standard really correct? Well, maybe we should ask, is it feasible?"
"Of course this is feasible. Ordinary coins are the coins with the most circulation. Only by using the coins held by the most people as the standard can we avoid the shrinkage of wealth in the hands of everyone to the greatest extent. Good coins are generally more valuable.
Yes, it is also used as big money in many places. I have even seen one good coin worth two ordinary coins, so it can be exchanged for more new money, and there will not be many objections. And the source of the good coin is
The five empires cannot be coerced by force. The only way to make them willingly give up their own coinage is to make them feel profitable. As for bad coins, no one is willing to accept them, so we have given a value affirmation
, it will only make people who keep bad coins feel like they are getting a bargain. This is the solution with the least resistance in my opinion.”
"Well, that's true. But have you ever thought about a question?"
"what is the problem?"
"Just looking at the weight, what if someone brings something that is not money?" Ke Yin asked.
Hearing such a question, Lin's eyes lit up and he said: "Take it, why not? Whether it is a vessel or raw ore, as long as it contains gold, silver, or copper, it can be exchanged for the same according to the analyzed ingredients.
The weight of new coins. The only concern is that if someone brings the artifacts of other gods, such as holy emblems or statues of gods, should they accept it or not? Or should they accept it selectively. It seems that there is no divine power to reside there.
If there is anything on it, collect it; if there is something there, don’t collect it.”
But Ke Yin pointed unceremoniously at the coins circulating on the table, and said, "But have you ever thought about it, besides gold, silver, and copper, there are many other metals. What to do with these garbage?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, these things are also money. You shouldn't think that your temple or church in the world, the priests and monks there, or the clerks of the future bank will just drink the northwest wind. The financial mechanism I have initially formulated
, in addition to the storage fees charged when depositing money, and the handling fees charged when transferring money, you wouldn’t think that in the early days, those fees could cover the huge expenses of setting up a bank all over the world. I never expected it.
If something is donated by believers and is responsible for its own profits and losses, then this is a sound organizational structure."
"No wonder you suggested that I collect even the raw ore. It turns out that was your intention."
