After sending away the group of astrologers who had been deceived into being unable to find Bei, Lin Tan sat on the classical sofa chair in the living room and put his legs on the chair.
Today's scene was not entirely an on-the-spot reaction. There were many things that I had thought about and said in advance, and today I just picked out the situation. Even so, it was not easy at all to deal with that old man.
Master Spiller is not as easily fooled as those inexperienced young men. When talking to such people, there must be no inconsistencies or even some unreasonable content.
If you say something wrong, you may not be punished on the spot, but your plans will be ruined. Because they will quietly put your opinions into the cold palace and never bother you again. And you won’t even be able to figure out how to die in battle.
clear.
However, this time, when the master left, he only said that he would consider it, but did not say whether he agreed or disagreed. This left Lin with no clue at all. These old gangsters have long known how to hide their expressions tightly.
, no one can read it. So a person can only say to himself: Do your best and obey fate.
As soon as she took a breath, Kaya appeared. She had been busy all morning, and it was only just now that she came to an end, and hurriedly came to find her teacher with a handful of gold coins in her hands.
"Teacher, teacher, there is a lot of bad money in the kir (gold coins) collected yesterday."
Bad money, bad money with insufficient content. If it were on Earth at that time, this thing would actually be counterfeit money. But in the Lost World, there is no universal legal currency. Every country, and even large enough organizations, will mint gold, silver, and copper.
Three types of coins. When necessary, the coins will be cast back into metal ingots and used for other purposes.
Some poor and crazy countries, or organizations with crooked intentions, will mint such coins with insufficient content, which is called bad money. Although bad money can be circulated and official organizations will accept and use it, due to its content
The ratio is difficult to judge, and there is no set rule on how to convert it. Therefore, in order to avoid disputes, people do not accept bad money. This is also the origin of the term "bad money".
It is also easy to identify bad money. If the content is insufficient, the weight will naturally be different from the coins within the specification. However, the world of Lost World is not yet good at alloy craftsmanship, or it may be said that alloys are secrets of master craftsmen.
The skills passed down from this generation will naturally not be used to mint large quantities of coins.
Therefore, in order to make up for the size that the coin should have, the result of adding other metals and casting them together is like a patch, one piece in the east, one piece in the west, obviously different metals are put together to piece together a coin. This is basically just looking at it with your eyes.
It can be obtained. Coupled with the abnormal oxidation of coins, these judgments can easily distinguish bad money from good money relative to "bad money".
What Kaya took over was a coin that could clearly be classified as bad money. It should be a gold coin, but it had patina. This was a coin with insufficient gold and copper content. The total number was not small, about twenty coins.
.But Lin asked first: "How much did you charge in total yesterday?"
Taking out a paper accounting book, this was a habit she had long before settling in the Tower of the Great Sage. Kaya turned to the latest page, which of course used accounting methods originating from the earth. She said
: "A total of 513 kiirs were received. Among them, 122 were good coins, 370 were good coins, and 21 were bad coins."
Fine money refers to those high-quality coins cast by large empires with obvious characteristics, content, and guaranteed materials. Some particularly particular people or organizations are only willing to trade with fine money. Therefore, most people receive fine money with an attitude
, that is, it will be saved specially.
Generally speaking, good money can be used, but bad money... To be honest, if this thing is given to ordinary people, it will be disliked by others. Therefore, the attitude of most magicians towards bad money is to melt it.
, separates into the metal species it is supposed to be.
However, when Kaya brought these more than twenty pieces of bad money today, she did not ask how to deal with it in the future. Instead, she explained that in the lecture yesterday, someone used this method to fish in troubled waters. It may not be a magician, because Lin
There is no restriction that only magicians can participate.
Think about the scene yesterday, would there be only more than 500 people? In other words, there were actually many people who didn't pay. But I can't blame them. The tavern was visually packed with people, and the upper limit was only two.
Less than a hundred people.
Although some masters are floating in the air, or standing on the walls or ceilings. Even so, the number of people cannot reach 500. Most people are still crowded on the street outside the tavern, unable to get in.
If you don’t pay, you can’t blame these people for not paying for the lectures.
After Lin thought for a while, he said to Kaya: "Just keep the bad money, and when there is enough, we will melt it together and separate it. If you bring the bad money to pay bills in the future, we will collect it the same. Anyway, at most we will just keep it."
The gold part is purified, and then the whole lump of gold is directly traded with others. However, we should not publicize our collection of bad money, so as not to receive this kind of stuff in the future."
The purpose of teaching is to promote the P language. If Lin hadn't held the idea of adding and subtracting to supplement family income, and if it was completely free, it would make people suspicious. He really wanted to teach for free. He only wanted people to come to learn.
More, so that I can even touch another Nintendo Famicom in my lifetime.
So when it comes to collecting bad money, just turn a blind eye. Besides, for most formal magicians, iKiel can only be regarded as a small amount of money. But for groups other than magicians, this may not necessarily be the case.
I think so. If we hope that magicians will actively learn programming languages and prohibit others from learning, that would defeat the original intention.
In fact, groups other than magicians are Lin's target range. For these people, a class of about two hours costs one gold coin, which may be a big burden. Rather than treating these people
To specialize and divide it and use it as the basis for other charging methods, it is better to treat these people's small actions as if they have not been seen from the beginning.
At first glance, it may seem like you are at a disadvantage. But in terms of human nature, there are only a few people who take advantage of others and want to take advantage of others. Most people hide it for fear of being known.
, I feel somewhat guilty in my heart. Of course, I have to rationalize my behavior verbally and be confident, so that I can continue to do these sneaky things.
As long as this feeling exists, these people may continue to take advantage, but they will never be able to accomplish anything. Unless they owe a huge favor that cannot be repaid until death. So.
At the end of the day, if you choose to do one or the other, that's a different matter.
This set the tone for this kind of thing in the future. As soon as I explained it to Kaya, she nodded obediently to show her understanding. She did not look like a stingy housekeeper who would spend every penny.
Just as Kaya was about to leave, Halumi ran in and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, another guest is here."
"Why are you so anxious? Teacher, I don't have to hide from my creditors and I won't run away. What are you doing in such a hurry?" Thinking of the unpleasant past, Lin muttered the words of a frizzy girl.
The blond girl who was scolded quickly stopped, took care of her messy hair, straightened her skirt, and pretended to be a lady and said: "Teacher, it's Mr. Shurion who is here. He said he can."
The elder wants to see you and has sent a carriage over."
It seems that it was for the proposal to establish a magic academy that was previously entrusted to the Great Magician Greenwen to be conveyed. The old man was not available until today. The carriage has been sent, and it seems that it will not leave until it has people.
Of course, it is also possible that the content of last night's lecture scared the elderly. After all, it is so obvious that it is necessary to break the foundation of astrologers. For a president who thinks about the overall situation of Xijia District all day long, it is unlikely.
No reaction at all. In addition to calling the person who caused the trouble over to clamp his balls, stand at attention and report, depending on the situation, he may also hand the person over as a sacrifice to calm external anger.
In short, when a child gets into trouble, it is a matter of course to seek support from his parents. Whether it is just the parents' meeting to support him or an extra meal of stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, it is not known. The ecology of Midland is difficult to compare with that of a certain place on Earth.
Comparisons are made between periods. Therefore, Lin is still exploring many things and trying to find ways to adapt.
"Kaya, remember to get that small bucket and ask Mr. Lois. I'll leave the house to you. I won't be back for lunch at noon, so you can handle it yourself. By the way, the two dogs can be taken care of when they are free.
Take them outside the city for a stroll. There are no monsters coming to die these days, and it seems that we have gained a lot of fat on our bodies. I prefer to eat lean meat, and too much fat is not good."
When the two girls heard this, their expressions were the same. They both puffed up their cheeks and looked at their teacher with dissatisfaction. After Lin explained the matter jokingly, he followed Shurion, who came to pick him up, to the middle tower, where President Cheng was.
The location of Guo Eaton.
The same small conference room. Only this time, except for the president himself, there are no other big-shot figures.
There was a dedicated waiter who served Elf Flower Tea to Lin who was seated.
It's not that coffee is not favored by the president, but if no one knows how to make it, no matter how good the coffee is, it will be in vain. Then I heard that the president spoiled several pots of coffee, and there were not many coffee beans, so now the old man has
He gave up asking the waiters around him to learn how to cook. If he really wanted to satisfy his cravings or perform any magic that required concentration, he would personally visit Lin's mansion.
As for the matter of directly asking someone else's apprentice to come over, Midi is not interested in this. If it is a servant or an ordinary waiter, forget it. But Kaya is a serious person, registered as Gabra Ashtripwood.
An apprentice under a magician. If someone with such status casually turns to another magician's apprentice, it is not a good record.
Different from the past, he always goes straight to the point. Recently when Lin came to meet the president, the old man would always chat about family matters for a while and show concern before getting into the topic. This kind of flattery and wooing is quite obvious.
For those who want to hug the long legs, it is even more desirable. So the two of them flattered each other like this.
