Chapter 262: Notice (II)
"It says," the apprentice pointed to the notice, "that 'banknotes' are a kind of 'currency' made of special paper, and each 'banknote' has a special mark on the crown of the Lady of Fortune, which is difficult to imitate, so it can be used as a kind of 'currency.'" ”
"Paper money has no value in itself, but it can be used to buy goods or exchange money, and every temple and church on the continent of the Church of Fortune can provide this service, but only if the reason is stated and the reason is reasonable. ”
"Wait!"
Before the apprentice could finish his sentence, an adventurer hurriedly interrupted him and asked him: "When you say 'banknote', you mean 'a piece of paper'?"
Not only this adventurer, but many people, including some merchants, could not understand what the young apprentice had said before.
Even if they knew about the 'Golden Ticket', they still couldn't understand what this 'new currency' was.
Because none of the people present had read much, especially the adventurers and mercenaries, there were many people among the merchants who could at least write their own names, but these rough people really couldn't even write their own names.
The apprentice, who had apparently been working here for a long time, did not show any impatience in the face of the adventurer's eager question, but explained to everyone: "Yes, 'paper money', as the name suggests, is a 'currency' made of a special kind of paper, which has no value in itself, while money such as gold and silver coins is valuable in itself and can be used anywhere, but. Paper money has no value in itself, so when you use it in other places that don't recognize this currency, other countries and regions, it's just a piece of waste paper. ”
"And what are we going to do with that thing, wipe our ass?" the adventurer continued, in a vulgar language, but the apprentice was no longer the same person he hadn't seen much of the world a year ago, so he didn't show any disgust.
If you ask a junior student what he has gained during the year, his answer is probably 'patience'.
"No, I also said before, 'use this currency in areas that do not recognize it', provided that this is the case, but Wende City is about to become the holy city of the goddess of wealth, so the Sad Wind Leader naturally recognizes this currency. ”
The apprentice paused, and after a little thought, he said, "I'll give you an example, if you buy something, you can buy something with two copper coins, and you can buy it with paper money, but if you want to buy something that costs less than one copper coin, how do you buy it?"
"Something in exchange!" replied the adventurer without hesitation.
"But what if you really want to buy it, but you don't have the equivalent in your hands?" asked the apprentice with a wink.
"Uh......" the adventurer frowned and scratched his neck, "then, then I won't buy it?"
The junior apprentice clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Look, this is actually very inconvenient, isn't it? One of the purposes of the Fortune Church's upcoming issuance of banknotes is to fill this part of the gap, if you want to buy something worth less than one copper, you can use banknotes to buy it, because the Sadwind Collar recognizes this currency, so you can use banknotes to buy things here." ”
"Oh......"
The people around finally understood, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.
"And that's not all!"
The more the apprentice talked, the more energetic he became, this time he did not wait for the exchange between people, but took advantage of this momentum to continue: "'Banknote' is still very light and thin, because it is made of a special kind of paper, no matter how you say it, it is just a piece of paper, if you bring the same value of money, the copper coin is a full pile, and the pile of banknotes may not be as thick as a copper coin, which is very easy to carry." Now it's just that the Sadwind Leader recognizes this currency, and when it comes, other places also recognize paper money, then when doing business, there is no need to use a pile of large and heavy gold coins or gems that are difficult to estimate, only a few banknotes, and it can be easily traded, how convenient it is!"
For elementary school students, businessmen are well aware of it, and if this is really the case, it is indeed quite convenient.

"But, even if you say so, isn't that a matter for the future?" said a bald-headed mercenary with his arms folded in his hands, "What if this currency is issued? Isn't the golden ticket already available?
"No, no, no, it's not right for you to say that!"
The apprentice waved his hand, "On the contrary, the 'golden ticket' can only meet the needs of large transactions, because the definition is too high at the beginning, but this time, the 'paper money' can be used from the bottom to the middle, and then from the middle to the high!"
Hearing this, the merchants' hearts suddenly jumped, and after a glance at each other, a merchant stepped forward, "Excuse me, can you tell us more about this matter?"
With the exception of a few who disagreed, the other adventurers and mercenaries sensed something else in the merchant's cautious attitude.
Merchants can't afford to make a profit, and now these merchants seem so eager, maybe there's something in it that they don't notice, even if they're not merchants, they have to stay here and listen.
"I don't really understand the specifics, because I only heard the tutor mention a few words, and then said that this is not what we should be in contact with now, so I never said it again. The apprentice shook his head lightly and sighed, "I only remember that the tutor said that before the invention of this kind of paper called 'Caihou paper', golden tickets were made of 'cotton cloth', which was very expensive and inconvenient to issue, so it was only circulated in the middle and high-rises, and later because the nobles rarely used it, until now, golden tickets rarely appear even in large transactions." ”
Because of the frequent crusades and conquests between the lords in various places, there may be no grain left in the fields in a single territorial fight, and how can the peasants have the energy and time to grow 'cotton'?
Therefore, cotton cloth is very expensive, and it was a mistake for the goddess of fortune to use cotton cloth as a material for the manufacture of golden tickets, but she could not use parchment and papyrus, her attempts were futile, and failure was inevitable, because the conditions were not sufficient.
"But, now it's different!"
Speaking of this, the junior apprentice danced excitedly, "The 'banknote' issued this time is called 'Tia', tentatively set to be ten Tia is equivalent to one copper coin, this copper coin is the copper coin of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, one hundred and seventy Tia is equal to one silver coin, and one thousand seven hundred Tia is equal to one gold coin of Reezel. Because of the cheap construction, the paper industry and the printing industry have developed, the cost of making paper money has been greatly reduced, and the maid has also ordered this kind of paper money to be issued throughout the Sorrowful Wind Territory, so this time the paper money will not 'repeat the mistakes of the past', but become a new type of circulating currency for us to use!"
"That means ......"
The merchants couldn't hold back their hearts that were about to jump in their throats.
They swallowed, as if they were swallowing their fast-beating hearts.
"Yes!
The junior disciple also seemed to guess what the merchants were thinking in their hearts, and snapped their fingers, "The Church of Fortune and the Sorrowful Wind Leader have reached a consensus with the Glorious Church and the Agricultural Church, and 'Lolandal' and 'Egger' will also issue this new type of currency, and in the future, these two holy cities will radiate to the surrounding areas and bring this new type of currency to all parts of the world!"
"Oh, this, this is so, so ......"
The merchants could not describe the joy in their hearts, and their poor vocabulary prevented them from describing the excitement and excitement in their hearts in too flowery words, so they held back for a long time, and only said, "Wonderful!
Two holy cities, and two holy cities with a wide range of deities!
With the permission of the two gods, the Church of Fortune will be able to enter the two holy cities, and they will issue 'Tia' there, which means that if they need to do business there in the future, they will not need to carry so many worrying gold, silver and jewelry, only 'a few pieces of paper' will suffice!
Not only that, but the influence of the two gods is so huge, in a few days, it may not only be 'Lolandal' and 'Egger', but even other regions will recognize the legitimacy of 'Tia' one after another-
Oh my God, this, this is so exciting!
