Chapter 260: Currency War (I)
Aircraft carriers are not ordinary resources, whether it is manpower, material resources, personnel education, arcane creation, etc., they need to meet certain standards, otherwise how could so many countries in the previous life not be able to produce aircraft carriers by themselves.
Embarrassed, Quirintis continued: "The problem is in the goblin trade, everyone knows what kind of goblin they are, greedy for money, endless greed for money. Our trade with that ratchet city is gradually increasing, the price of goblin goods is relatively high, and some of the terms of commerce have traps, our people are deceived by the hidden terms of the goblins if they are not careful, so our trade income on the goblin side is completely inferior to the trade of orcs and forsaken. ”
As he spoke, Quirintis flipped through the thick notebook in front of him: "Since the invasion of the natural disaster, the kingdom's gold income has deducted all expenses, and it is only ...... There was only a surplus of 8.9 million. ”
After the invasion of the natural disaster, the entire kingdom began to enter the stage of large-scale construction, coupled with the establishment of new legions, all kinds of consumption, all kinds of battles, and the kingdom actually had an income surplus of 8.9 million gold coins, which was simply beyond Patrick's expectations.
You must know that the entire solar temple that the council allocated to Patrick for renovation was only a few gold coins, and most of the coins used by ordinary residents of Silvermoon City for trading were only silver coins, and this 8.9 million gold coins was really beyond Patrick's expectations.
If it were in peacetime, it would be impossible to imagine what Quel'Thalas's annual income would be, no wonder Quel'Thalas directly began to ration free of charge, allowing all the elves to consume Quel'Thalas's excess production capacity.
Seeing that Patrick didn't speak for a long time, Patrick was very unhappy that the income of the Kingdom of Quirlintis was too low: "Lord Regent, after the Great War, we have been restoring the kingdom's economy non-stop. ”
It seems that Quirintis has misunderstood, and Patrick is thinking about how many resources it will cost to build an aircraft carrier battle group: "What about the kingdom's various material stocks?" Now I'm trying to build an aircraft carrier battle group, and then give me the initial budget that will need to be spent, and my future plan is to build more than three carrier battle groups and gallop the endless sea. ”
"Obey the Lord Regent, all the materials in the kingdom are in reserve, and there are countless regular materials, if the price of the goblin goods is not black, it is purchased at the standard price of Azeroth, and with our finances, Quel'Thalas can buy out the inventory of a few Ratchet City."
"Goblins?" Patrick continued to ponder, the goblin's greedy character is like this, in their eyes there are no allies, they only value money, large sums of money.
As for the price of goblin goods, if you want to make Gazruvi reduce the price, Patrick thinks it is more reliable to start a war, what kind of goblin is all Azeroth knows, it is impossible to let Gazruwe reduce the price, and if you want to reduce the price, you need to find a way from other places.
……
Now, the only way is to make a fuss about the currency.
Although the gold, silver, and copper coins of Quel'Salas have different molds, patterns, and anti-counterfeiting methods, they have one thing in common, that is, the gold content, and the gold content of each gold coin is about seven layers, or even higher.
Although the currency used by each country is different, the gold content is similar, so each country does not need to deliberately calculate the exchange rate of the currency when trading.
But Azeroth has a lot of metals that are more expensive than gold, and many of them have good magic conduction, so Patrick has an idea.
"Mr. Romans, I have an idea for a currency revamp and would like to ask for your opinion." As the prince's right and left hand, the ** master Romans's attainments in arcane arts are naturally quite good.
"Lord Regent, please speak." Romans bowed.
"I'm going to reduce the gold content of our Quel'Salas gold coins, you've been in Dalaran for many years, and you've had a lot of contact with other races, what do you think of this method?."
"Lord Regent, you may not know the goblins, their obsession with gold coins is beyond the comprehension of some creatures, and those short little greenskins can tell how many gold coins are in them just by holding the bag and listening to the sound of the bag." The way goblins measure money is so unbelievable that if you ask yourself, Patrick himself doesn't need arcane perception, and he can hear a reason for the bag in a day.
"I plan to mint a new batch of currency, the gold content is controlled at about five layers, increase the lead content, silver content, although the density of lead and silver is not as good as gold, but we want to inlay some gold threads on the surface of the gold coins, so that these newly minted gold coins also have magic sense, used to prevent counterfeiting."
** Shi Romans also pondered, and after repeated thinking and confirmation, he gave the answer: "Will this cause our gold coins to be too lightweight, if the proportion of gold coins with other countries does not meet the requirements, it will be difficult for our currency to be recognized by other countries." ”
This point raised by Romans is easy to solve.
"Magic alone is not enough, weight must also be achieved, we can consider adding a layer of pure gold coating to make up for the lack of hardness and weight."
The price of pure gold is relatively high, but we do not need to melt the gold into the gold coin, we only need to add a thin layer of pure gold coating to the outer layer of the gold coin, which can not only make the gold coin more wear-resistant, but also increase the hardness of the gold coin and prolong the service life.
"What's this? It's doable. Romans pressed the bar and thought about it for a while, after all, just adding a coating is still acceptable, and the price will not be much expensive.
"Well, it's up to you to make your own metal ratios, I only need a result. And the ratio of silver and copper coins is also up to you, after all, there are too many metals that can be mixed with silver and copper coins, so be yourself. Patrick turned his head to look at Quirlintis: "When Romans succeeds in their currency transformation, we will increase trade with goblins in the future, but put forward a request to those goblins, that is, we will only use new magic gold coins in our trade, whether we buy or sell, we will use new magic gold coins, and all the previous gold coins will be recast." ”
Quel'Salas is the biggest customer of Ratchet City, and Gazruwe will definitely not offend him, and Patrick still gives gold coins, but the style has changed, and the gold coins have more arcane flow. The new gold coins better distinguish the currency of quel'thalas from other races, and are more difficult to counterfeit and more difficult to make.
Some human kingdoms have mixed a large number of other heavy metals into the gold coins, resulting in a large number of low-quality gold coins in the entire market that affect trade, and this kind of goblin has not been encountered.
