Chapter 418 Chapter 418: Universal Currency
It's not that they don't have enough knowledge, and it's not that their IQ is in arrears, but that their learning points are completely different.
Economics and business studies slowly emerged after the establishment of the Maxim Federation.
The prairie elves in the northern prairie have been isolated from the people and horses for too long, and it is only natural that they do not understand these things.
Just because they don't understand doesn't mean they're stupid.
From the meaning of Yitzhak's words, he heard a key word, that is inflation.
Millie and Savannah looked at each other, and both of them showed dignified expressions at the same time.
They learned the term inflation during the purchase of grain over the past year, from purchasing grain at the market price to nearly ten times the price now, even if they are dull, they understand the meaning of inflation.
Now the locust plague and drought have made the North Wind Prairie even worse. Even without the invasion of the Ottoman Kingdom, they are still struggling. If the price of food is raised again, they don't know how to get through the difficulties.
"What does integrated resource allocation mean?" Andre was the first to ask.
Although it was called a five-party summit, almost all the foreign races in Changfeng Plain were Aslan's subjects, so it was most suitable for them to ask this kind of question.
"It is to gather the resources of all parties, distribute them at a unified price, and circulate them in the alliance." Aslan said lightly.
Savannah directly raised her hand in agreement.
"Seconded!"
Savannah had to agree that the so-called bulk commodities actually had more meat on the grasslands, but when they encountered locust plagues, many of them would catch locusts in exchange for protein cakes in their spare time.
Plants are almost being eaten up, relying on what to raise livestock.
As for things like wool and oil shale, for the time being, only Merlot City will buy them on a large scale. Simply put, there are almost no commodities available on the grassland except for fur and meat.
"Changfeng Plain Seconded!"
Andre and Aisha raised their hands at the same time and said.
The Marquis of Sauron and Marquis of Culin in the corner seemed hesitant to speak, but when they faced Gareth's fierce gaze, they immediately shut up.
The life of the two marquises is not easy now, and the population of the two towns is barely maintained at around 50,000. It's not that they don't want to increase, but that they can't.
The surrounding land was barely enough to support so many people, and the welfare benefits of Alliance City and Changfeng Town were so good, if they were a little harsh on the people of the territory, they would run away that night.
They also thought about killing chickens to scare monkeys, but when they were about to execute them, either the army from Alliance City suppressed the border, or the patrol troops from Changfeng Town rushed over.
Now there are 50,000 combined troops stationed in Changfeng Town, and 10,000 Melo Knights.
That was an elite who had just come down from the battlefield, and the two Marquis didn't have the courage to resist at all.
Now they also understand that the purpose of Kyoto's sending them here was to let them be shit-stirring sticks and affect the development of the Melo area.
Originally, he was full of confidence. After all, the lord of Melo was still poor at that time, and the population of Melo City was only a few hundred thousand people.
Today, the population of Merlo City has exceeded 400,000, and this is still a carefully selected population. In the Merlo area, if you want to settle in Merlo City, you need to join the army and make military exploits on the battlefield, or make major contributions to the Merlo area. Contributions can generally only be settled in the surrounding towns.
The population of Changfeng Town has exceeded 100,000, and it controls nearly 400 farms, of which more than two-thirds of the farm residents are half-orcs.
After the half-orcs entered the farm to work, they could finally have enough to eat and their life improved. Even the management of the farm was dominated by half-orcs. Now, the most popular foreign race in Changfeng Plain is the most favored by half-orcs. Loyalty, even the statue of Aslan is erected in the central square of many farms.
Even in recent months, some farms have been applying for half-orcs to join the army and become an honorable Union soldier.
After hearing the news, the two marquises were almost bored.
Now that he was able to represent Changfeng Plain to participate in the five-party summit, it was just a plot requirement. Simply put, it was to gather the number of people. If they dared to speak indiscriminately, they would probably be decapitated as soon as they returned at night.
Kruse also slowly raised his hand and said, "Our side seconded the proposal!"
The corner of Yitzhak's mouth twitched. How does this five-party summit feel like it is aimed at the Kingdom of Cleveland, and what does the Gorland rebels mean?
"Since it is a unified resource, can Melo City open up the sales channels of certain products." Yitzhak knew that it was impossible, and he didn't stop it, and directly changed the topic to the place he was concerned about.
The Kingdom of Cleveland has a vast land and abundant resources. The two materials of salt and iron do not need to be imported at all, and there is even a surplus that can be exported. Now the most needed food and cloth in the Kingdom of Cleveland, winter is coming again. , this winter will be very sad, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death.
Aslan nodded and said, "In addition to ordnance, food and cloth will naturally be included in the proposal."
Savannah and Yitzhak couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that food and cloth would be included in the proposal.
Everyone took out the resources in their respective territories and exchanged with each other.
Soon Yitzhak took out the Cleveland coins that had just been minted by the Kyoto Trading Company. There were three coins in total, mainly gold coins, silver coins and copper coins.
"This is the currency that our Kingdom of Cleveland will use in the future. I suggest that for this trade, it is best to use the Cleveland currency as the common currency." Yitzhak said confidently.
The workmanship of the Cleveland coins is also exquisite. The front is the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, and the back is the head of the founding emperor, Emperor Cleveland I. The only disadvantage is that these coins are poured without further processing. Although they look shiny, you can hold the gold coins in the In the hand, it doesn't feel good, and the craftsmanship is simple, so it can be easily imitated.
It's just that this kind of coin is made of precious metals, so it's not as cost-effective as direct exchange.
Aslan nodded, and also took out three coins, the same three types of gold, silver and copper, but when these three coins came out, many people's eyes lit up.
Yitzhak’s coins can be described as exquisite, so Aslan’s coins can only be described as beautiful, not only the workmanship is fine, the lines on the coins are also very clear, especially the side face of Duke Medea , showing the beauty of a generation of beauties.
Savannah picked up the gold coins on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What a beautiful carving! Well, it has the style of our elf painters." Savannah said after looking at it carefully.
Aslan nodded with a smile.
"The portraits on the coins are all designed by the great painter of the forest elves. In terms of art, the elves have talents that the human race does not have."
