Chapter 91 This Is a Face-Seeing World
In this manor of old Alvin, there are not many things that can be taken away directly.
But fortunately, everything that can be taken away is almost ordinary money.
Except for a few finely crafted gem-set sterling silver pieces. And four bags of silver coins--the kind of fifty each. and fifty one pound notes.
No gold coins are stored...but in one mezzanine, there are twelve gold bars hidden.
This Annan is actually quite understandable.
In today's Noah's Kingdom, gold coins are not a common currency in circulation, but paper money called "gold pounds" is.
Because the previous Pope Radiance III of the Silver Jazz put forward a theory when studying economic laws-if people have two gold coins in their hands at the same time, one with higher gold content and the other with lower gold content, then people tend to tend to Instead of spending the lower-value one, collect the higher-value one, or simply melt it and make it into jewelry.
In the same way, the real value of gold coins and silver coins of the same value naturally fluctuates.
Gold and silver are the materials needed to make spells in different fields, and gold dust and silver coins are consumables that Mr. Yao and the priests of Sir Silver need to use divine arts respectively...
In the kingdom of Noah, because of the belief in Silver Sir, people's demand for silver is obviously higher than gold, so people will tend to store more valuable silver coins and use gold coins more. In the end, silver coins with smaller denominations will leave the circulation market instead.
This is naturally intolerable to Silver Sir.
So Hui Yao III proposed a simple countermeasure:
If it is necessary to make silver coins a currency for 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 more valuable than silver coins.
But after all, the church cannot influence the laws within the kingdom, and cannot directly abolish gold coins... This is obviously not acceptable.
So in the end, they chose to carry out the paper money business in recent years.
They would take a certain amount of gold and silver and exchange it for a large paper currency.
One pound note is worth one gold pound. And this kind of paper money can be exchanged for silver coins of the same value at any temple of the Silver Sir - this is very simple for the priests, and there is no need to worry about insufficient stocks or counterfeit bills.
When the priests used divine arts, they sacrificed silver coins as materials to the Silver Sir. As long as the priests in other places pray to the silver lord, if the reason is reasonable and can convince the silver lord, they can get a certain amount of silver coins.
- 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... In the end, the number of gold coins circulating in the market will gradually decrease. When spending large sums of money, people tend to gravitate to paper money. Paper money can always be lighter than gold and easy to carry.
In the beginning, the reason why Don Juan brought some gold coins was to give to the priests of the silver lords and exchange them for the same amount of silver coins-and the nobles took the initiative to hand over the gold to store the gold, which could greatly please the silver lords.
Moreover, the priests of the Silver Lord are also very happy to recover gold coins.
Because this will obviously lead to a gradual increase in the number of silver coins on the market.
So for old Alvin, there is no difference between storing gold coins and storing gold bars. Anyway, they have to go to the church to exchange them in an emergency.
Silver Jazz's purpose is simple and pure.
It is to let the silver coins circulate in the hands of everyone to the greatest extent. The more the better, the bigger the better...but if it's silver.
Gold coins don't count.
The patterns on the gold coins of different countries are different, and the gold content is also different...
However, the silver content and shape of each silver coin are exactly the same - [Silver Coin Making] is the most basic silver lord magic, which is used to easily extract silver-containing ores and other materials in batches into proportions. A regulated silver coin.
The result is,
Silver Sir's face is engraved on each silver coin.
It was a young man with a monocle, a bright and sunny smile, a slender face and medium-part curly hair, who looked about thirty years old.
Like the big boy next door.
It doesn't look any different from ordinary people.
Rather, it is the same for all the righteous gods... the righteous gods look like ordinary people. So people will also be affectionate, calling them with close names like "Silver Sir", "Mysterious Lady", "Old Grandmother".
The false gods are different.
When a false god appears in the human world, his incarnation must have at least one characteristic that is obviously not human.
The closer you are to the false gods of the righteous gods, the more human-like they will appear; and those who seem to know that they are not human must be false gods.
In a sense, this is indeed a face-seeing world...
Even among all the righteous gods, Yin Jue is the one that is most easily recognized by mortals.
Because other righteous gods have to go to the parish-level church to see what they look like from the paintings.
And Yin Jue sees you every day.
Commoners don't necessarily know what the king looks like, but they definitely know what the silver lord looks like.
"...is that why you asked me to carry these things?"
Salvatore, with a bag of silver coins in one hand and a corpse on his back, got into the carriage panting like a delivery boy.
"Yes, I love Sir Silver."
Annan said confidently: "Of course I also love these little cuties engraved with silver jazz."
As if nothing had happened, he carried two bags of gold coins in one hand and a heavy gold bar in the other, followed Salvatore into the carriage, and whispered in words that could be heard by the senior: "And the corpse is the big head..."
"Um... ah."
Salvatore put the silver coins and the corpse in the carriage, exhaled suddenly, the whole person relaxed, and his face was sweating.
Immediately, he glared at Annan angrily: "I can't let your child fight the corpse, right?
"You can just get gold bars... Is there any need for these silver coins? It's so heavy... If you're short of money, you can get a gold bar for some pocket money. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow it from me."
"I took so much money just to not ask you to borrow it."
Annan looked serious: "You can also repay what you borrowed before."
At the beginning, he went to the senior to borrow money when he had nothing to do. It was really cool, yes...
But Kai Zisa's hospitality was so generous, which always gave Annan a bad feeling of being nurtured. The most terrible thing is that Salvatore does not seem to have the real feeling that "Annan has been asking him for money" - Annan will give as he asks.
This is called prostituting Kaizi to the point of guilt.
Salvatore snorted when he heard the words: "It seems that you borrowed some money from me before? How much?"
Co-authoring, 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 pay back Salvatore's money quickly - but from another aspect, Annan's return of Salvatore's money should actually be taken from someone else's house, and He grabbed with peace of mind.
Salvatore's previous analysis was good and made sense, and now it's mine.
——You intend to murder me, and after revenge, I intend to compensate you with money; then I will not touch your grandson, and will protect him later until he inherits your property.
fair trade.
Annan happily set a new task for himself.
"Speaking of which," Annan looked at Salvatore curiously, "who is our driver?"
Salvatore seemed to have long expected to come to deal with the corpse, so he came in a carriage.
But Annan found that the man driving the car, although not very tolerant, was obviously not an ordinary driver.
This is also normal.
How can an ordinary coachman have the courage to carry a corpse at night, let alone the fresh and warm corpse of a Viscount...
"He's here to thank you."
Salvatore introduced Annan.
