Chapter Ninety-One: This is a world of faces
In this manor of Old Alvin, there are not many things that can be taken directly.
But fortunately, everything that can be taken away is almost all ordinary money.
Except for a few well-made gem-encrusted sterling silver jewelry. There were also four bags of silver coins—the kind of fifty pieces each. and fifty one-pound notes.
There is no gold stored in the car...... But in one mezzanine, there are twelve gold bars.
This Annan is actually quite easy to understand.
In today's Noah's kingdom, gold coins are not actually a common currency in circulation, but paper money called "gold pounds" is.
Because the last generation of the Silver Sir Pope Hui Yao III when he studied the laws of economics, he put forward a theory - if people have two gold coins in their hands at the same time, one with a higher gold content and the other with a lower gold content, then people tend to spend the lower value and collect the higher value, or simply melt it down and make jewelry.
In the same way, the true value of gold and silver coins of the same value naturally fluctuates.
Gold and silver are both materials used to craft spells in different realms, and gold dust and silver coins are consumables used by the priests of Mr. Yao and Sir Silver respectively......
In Noah's kingdom, because of the belief in silver sir, people obviously had a higher demand for silver than gold, so people tended to store more valuable silver coins and use more gold coins. Eventually, smaller silver coins will leave the market.
Naturally, this was something that Silver Sir could not tolerate.
So Radiance III came up with a simple solution:
If the purpose is to make silver coins a currency in circulation, then they have to do it the other way around...... That is, to find a way to make ordinary people think that gold coins are worth more than silver coins.
But after all, the church cannot influence the internal laws of the kingdom, and cannot directly abolish the gold coin...... This is obviously not a no-go.
So in the end, they chose to start a paper money business in recent years.
They would collect a certain amount of gold and silver, which they would exchange for a large amount of banknotes.
The value of one pound note is equal to one gold pound. These banknotes can be exchanged for silver coins of the same value in any Silver Sir Temple—a simple thing for the priests, and they don't have to worry about running out of stock or counterfeit money.
When priests used their magic, they would sacrifice silver coins as materials to Silver Sir Silver. Elsewhere, the priests prayed to the Silver Lord, and if the reason was reasonable and could convince the Silver Sir, they would receive a certain amount of silver.
— that is, reimbursement.
And because gold and silver coins can be exchanged for paper money, but paper money can only be exchanged for silver coins...... Eventually, the number of gold coins in circulation will gradually decrease. When it comes to large expenses, people tend to gravitate towards paper money. Paper money is much lighter than gold and easy to carry.
In the beginning, Don Juan brought some gold coins in order to give them to the priests of the Silver Lord, and the nobles took the initiative to hand in the gold storage, which could greatly please the Silver Lord.
Moreover, the priests of the Silver Lord are also very happy to recover gold coins.
This will obviously lead to a gradual increase in the number of silver coins on the market.
So for Old Alvin, there was really no difference between storing gold coins and storing gold bars. Anyway, I have to go to the church to change it in an emergency.
The purpose of Silver Sir is simple and pure.
It is to make the silver coins circulate in everyone's hands to the greatest extent. The more times the better, and the bigger the amount, the better...... But if it's silver.
Gold coins do not count.
Gold coins vary from country to country with different designs and gold contents......
However, the silver content and shape of each silver coin are exactly the same - [Silver Coin Making] is the most basic silver jue magic technique, which is used to easily refine silver-containing ores and other materials into silver coins that meet the regulations in batches.
As a result, each silver coin was engraved with the face of Sir Silver.
It was a young man with monocles, a bright, sunny smile, a long, thin face, and middle-parted curly hair, who looked to be about thirty years old.
It's like the big boy next door.
It looks no different from ordinary people.
Rather, this is true of all righteous gods...... The righteous gods all look like ordinary people. Therefore, people will also affectionately, calling them with intimate titles such as "Silver Sir", "Mysterious Lady", "Old Grandmother", etc.
And false gods are different.
When a false god appears in the human world, his incarnation must have at least one feature that is clearly not human.
The closer the false god is to the righteous god, the more humanoid it looks; And those who seem to know that they are not human must be false gods; And those who look particularly ugly and scary know that they are evil gods at a glance.
In a sense, this is indeed a world of faces......
Even among all the righteous gods, Silver Jue is the easiest to recognize by mortals.
Because other righteous gods have to go to the diocesan church to see what they really look like in the paintings.
And the silver lord sees it every day.
The commoners don't necessarily know what the king looks like, but they certainly know what the silver lord looks like.
“…… Is that why you're asking me to carry these things? ”
Salvatore got into the carriage panting with a bag of silver coins in his hand and a corpse on his back.
"Yes, I love Sir Silver."
Annan said confidently: "I naturally love these little cuties engraved with silver jazz. ”
Carrying two bags of gold coins in one hand and heavy gold bars in the other, he followed Salvatore into the carriage and muttered in a whisper that could be heard by the seniors: "And the corpse is the big head......
"Hmm...... Yes. ”
Salvatore put the silver coins and the corpse in the carriage and exhaled sharply, and the whole person relaxed, and his face was already sweating.
Then he glared at Annan angrily: "I can't let you fight against the corpse, right?"
"It's just that you take the gold bar...... Is there any need to take these silver coins? So heavy...... If you're short of money, you can get a gold bar for some pocket money. If you don't have a good time, you can borrow it from me. ”
"I'm just taking so much money so I don't want to borrow from you."
Annan looked serious: "You can also pay back what you borrowed before." ”
At the beginning, he went to his senior to borrow money when he was fine, which was really cool, right......
But this Kaizisa is so generous in his treats, which always makes Annan have a bad feeling of being fostered. The worst thing is that Salvatore does not seem to have the real feeling that "Annan has been looking for him for money" - Annan asks for it, and he gives it.
This is called prostitution until he feels guilty.
Salvatore sighed when he heard this: "It seems that you borrowed some money from me before?" How much? ”
Don't you remember the number now?
Annan still doesn't know how much money Salvatore has......
But Annan's self-esteem and morality still urged him to hurry up and pay back Salvatore's money - but on the other hand, Annan's money to Salvatore should actually be considered to have been stolen from someone else's house, and he robbed it with peace of mind.
Salvatore's previous analysis was good and reasonable, and now it's mine.
- You intend to murder me, and after your revenge I intend to make amends for you with money; Then I will not move your grandson again, and I will protect him later knowing that he inherits your property.
Fair trade.
Annan happily set himself a new task.
"Speaking of which," Annan looked at Salvatore with some curiosity, "who is our coachman?" ”
Salvatore seemed to have anticipated the coming to dispose of the body, so he came in a horse-drawn carriage.
But Annan found that the person driving the car, although not so extraordinary, was obviously not an ordinary driver.
This is also normal.
How could an ordinary coachman have the audacity to carry a corpse at night, let alone the fresh and hot corpse of a viscount......
"He's here to thank you."
Salvatore told Annan.
