"That's right, I hope that what you do, Your Majesty, is applicable to any coin. But if you want to gain the authority of Quanmidi coins, you can only find ways to attract people and establish yourself as an irreplaceable currency other than violence. Status. That is to say, in addition to the title of Goddess of Gold Coins, you have to come up with things that only you can do, but ordinary people can't do, so that you can attract people to give up using the original coins and use new ones instead." Lin took He picked up the new silver coin and put it next to his face, emphasizing it.

After thinking for a while, Ke Yin asked, "Is this related to the godhead you gave me, which is related to metal?"

"Yes." From the cash box he brought, Lin picked out a few good coins, bad coins and ordinary coins of different appearance and origin, and displayed them on the table. The biggest problem with coins is that their values ​​are inconsistent. Therefore, in terms of use, good coins are the most popular and common coins are the most widely circulated. However, although the areas where bad coins circulate are limited, they are the only medium of exchange in that limited area. .It’s just that once they leave those places, in addition to being refused to collect bad coins, they may even be discarded directly.”

Money is thrown away, something that was hard to imagine before someone crossed over. But in Midi, it is not big news. Speaking of which, this is also caused by some preconceived notions. Some things that people who travel through time take for granted are not so natural in Midi.

On Earth, no matter which country, the currency issued by the country has legally guaranteed purchasing power in that country. As long as it is a banknote or coin in circulation, the payee must accept it, otherwise there is a risk of breaking the law. Even the currency cannot be damaged arbitrarily, otherwise it will also break the law.

But in Midi, the reason why coins have purchasing power is because they also have value. From the point of view 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 exchanged fairly. But bad money is not included in this list.

Just imagine, go to the vegetable market to buy eggs by yourself. When the price of eggs is the same, the boss refuses to give them even though there are good eggs, and insists on giving himself the rotten eggs. It's good manners not to smash the rotten egg directly in the boss's face. As long as they are normal people, of course they will choose unbroken eggs.

In the case of bad coins, it is equivalent to rotten eggs in Midi. Given the choice, no one will accept bad money. The situation where bad money drives out good money does not exist in Midi.

When some reputable big businessmen get bad money, they will throw the bad money into the river, the stove or any place that can destroy the body, and then ask the buyer to buy the goods, please take what they can accept Coins come. This is the norm in Midi, and it is what surprised Lin.

But is bad money worthless? It also has precious metal components, but the proportion may be relatively low. Or they were originally ordinary or good coins, but due to the wear and tear of long-term use, in addition to twisting and deforming them, they also lost weight, so they were not accepted by people. but! The precious metal is still present in these coins, not that the gold has simply disappeared.

Ke Yin used to be an adventurer traveling in the Lost World, and also used to support a legendary team in the role of a logistics chief to hunt down the remnants of the Dark Legion. Coins of that era were more confusing and their value more difficult to judge. There are even counterfeit coins in circulation, substituting brass for gold and tin for silver, and all kinds of counterfeit and inferior coins emerge in endlessly.

So Ke Yin understands how fortunate it is for users to have a coin whose value is widely recognized. At least when you want to buy life-saving potions, because the coins on your body are not recognized, you will not be turned away by the merchants, so that the person you want to save cannot be rescued. What is more regrettable than letting a companion who might survive die in front of one's own eyes because of one's own inability to do anything.

It's just that after he became a god, like most gods, he only represented a concept and passively responded to what believers asked for. But not everything can be done, and there is still a long way to go for oneself, or any god, to be omniscient and omnipotent. He didn't think about taking the initiative to do anything. He didn't know that he might be able to do a lot of things until this magician appeared in front of his eyes. Not to mention that these things are very beneficial to me now, rather than simply paying for a little ideal without asking for anything in return.

Now that he understands the role he should play, Ke Yin is not hypocritical, and directly asks: "Then what should I do? This time, you won't ask another question, let me and someone figure it out by myself. "The words and eyes of the halfling goddess could not hide the worry. I don't feel like a **** anymore, like a servant enslaved by this magician.

Lin made a haha, and said with a smile: "How could it be. This time the matter 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 use this as an extension. If you have mastered the godhead I provided before, I wonder if you can analyze the proportion of pure metal in each coin. How much proportion, and how much weight."

But Ke Yin flipped his hands and conjured up the godhead from Vulkan. The manifestation of the godhead, which is constantly changing its appearance like an amoeba, is quite well-behaved in the hands of a real god. Round, like an egg.

Seeing this, Lin was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't absorb it."

"Except for godheads that are similar in concept and can be absorbed directly to expand one's divine power, absorbing unrelated godheads is no less than poison to us. Eating them may not necessarily lead to death, and surviving through them may not necessarily be beneficial. Or maybe it's just making myself weaker. I have to determine what I need, which really helps to increase my strength, and that's what I can keep. The rest I will give up and let it go back to the most primitive The form is waiting for those who are willing to collect and condense it again.”

"That's it. I thought it would be the same as Dahuandan or some small blue pill. If you drink it down, it will directly increase your skill for a hundred years. It seems that I am too superficial. It's just what is the most primitive form of Godhood?"

"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 spoke, Lin took out a Water Cube. The length, width and height are each ten centimeters. At four degrees Celsius and the density is at its maximum, this water cube is exactly one thousand grams. Lin roughly explained the standards of weights and measures, and let Ke Yin start to analyze the metal content of the current coins in circulation in Fascinated Land.

With the benchmarks for comparison and the help of the metal godhead, the work went on faster than someone imagined. What Lin did was to standardize the final information, which ones must be known, which ones can be made public, and which ones are the key points, without any error.

After analyzing the composition of each coin, the next step is to compare it with the parent coin to convert how much the coin is equal to. Of course, Lin also taught the halfling goddess the relevant knowledge of the four arithmetic operations that will be used in this process. Anyway, it will be useful for future bookkeeping. How can the gods related to money not even know the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

However, after analyzing the composition of the circulating coins and comparing the weight of the mother coin, 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 this result is correct?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think is unreasonable?" Lin asked back.

"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, and the exchange ratio of good coins is 1.2 or even more than 1.3. However, it is regarded as inferior. There is also an exchange ratio between 0.6 and 0.7 coins. Such a standard, is it true? Well, maybe I should ask, is it feasible?"

"Of course this is feasible. Ordinary coins are the coins with the most circulation. Only the coins held by the most people can be used as the standard to avoid the shrinking of wealth in the hands of the people to the greatest extent. Good coins are more valuable in general perception. Yes, in many places it is also used as big money, and 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 too many people objecting. And the source of the good coin is The Five Great Empires ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ cannot be coerced by force. The only way to make them willingly give up their coinage is to make them feel profitable. As for bad coins, no one is willing to accept them. An affirmation of value will only make people who keep bad coins feel that they have picked up a bargain. This is the plan with the least resistance in my opinion.”

"Well, it is. But has a question occurred to you?"

"what is the problem?"

"Just look at the weight, what if someone brings something other than coins?" Ke Yin asked.

Hearing such a question, Lin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Accept it, why not accept it? Whether it is a vessel or a raw ore, as long as it contains gold, silver, or copper, it can be exchanged for the same amount according to the analyzed components. The weight of new coins. The only concern is that if someone brings artifacts of other gods, such as holy emblems, or statues. Is it accepted or not? Or there is a choice. It seems that there is no divine power boarding If it is above, it will be accepted, if there is, it will not be accepted.”

Ke Yin unceremoniously pointed to the coins in circulation on the table, and said, "But have you ever thought that besides gold, silver, and copper, there are many other metals. What about these rubbish?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, these things are also money. Don't you think that in your temple or church on earth, the priests and monks in it, or the clerks of the future bank will drink the northwest wind. The financial mechanism I initially formulated , except that you will be charged a storage fee when depositing money, and you will be charged a handling fee when transferring money. You don’t think that in the early days, that fee can cover the huge expenses of setting up a bank. I never expect Donated by believers. Being able to take care of your own profits and losses is a sound organizational structure.”

"No wonder you suggested that I even collect the raw ore. So that's the idea."
