Chapter 1,253 Human Affairs

Seeing the cautious attitude of the person in front of him, Ke Yin looked equally serious and asked, "Is the second method you mentioned really so easy to lose control of and can it cause such great harm?"

"Didn't I say that the third function of currency itself has storable value, which is a constraint and a protection. Because using the first method, you at least have a reference basis for comparison, knowing that circulation is in the mystery. What is the value and purchasing power of earth's money? But if you abandon the second method of storing value, it all depends on the wisdom of the controller. I can't explain the reason. If you are interested, I will give you time when I have time in the future. Let me tell you about economics. But this subject is not what I am good at, so I only know a little bit about it."

Maybe someone was too alarmist, and for a while, the atmosphere became quite solemn.

Of course Lin was not used to this kind of mourning atmosphere, so he laughed and said, "But before you get to that point, Your Majesty, you still have a long way to go. Let's go, watch, and learn. Over there Before that, please do me a little favor."

It was as if he suddenly realized that what the magician was talking about was not the problem he was facing. Ke Yin put aside his unnecessary worries, restored his original cheerful attitude, and asked: "If you want to ask me for anything, just tell me."

After receiving permission, Lin suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared again. But when he reappeared, he brought three more boxes. Each box was larger than the first cash box Lin brought along.

Someone opened the three boxes with a smile. There were more and more coins, and they were almost full. Everything you can see are good coins minted by the Gwana Empire. Gold coins accounted for the bulk, nearly two boxes. There were less than half a box of silver coins, and the remaining space was filled with copper coins. Someone smiled and said: "Help me convert this money into new coins. Oh, by the way, I will also take away those miscellaneous metals. I have a use."

A certain halfling goddess was dumbfounded and said: "You should know that in the deposit rules you gave me, I will take a certain percentage as a storage fee. It will not be in vain."

"Hey, of course I'm familiar with those rules. But the premise for collecting the custody fee is to use the money flow network built by the World Tree to transfer the coins from the Mysterious Land to your Kingdom of God and deposit them into your personal account. That's why you need to Pay the storage fee. Although the transfer does not require transmission, it is also an action of depositing from one account to another, so you have to pay a transfer fee similar to the storage fee. But I moved the money myself, and I did not It needs to be deposited into a personal account, and I will take it all away. It does not meet the conditions for charging any fees, so I don’t have to pay any money. Right.”

"You...you are sophistry!" Ke Yin said angrily.

Lin put on a proud expression and said, "No, no, no, I'm not making excuses, I'm just teaching you to be good with my actions. Any system will have loopholes, and a rigid and unchangeable system means sitting back and watching those loopholes be exploited." Just like me today. So we have to respond flexibly, but we don’t think about how to seal the loopholes that appear, and go too far. So we should focus on the big problems and seal the serious loopholes and defects; Loopholes that seriously endanger the entire system may be concentrated in the major review once every ten years and corrected all at once. I am not saying that they will not be corrected, but there is no need to change it in such a hurry, giving people the wrong feeling of changing it day and night. As for the review cycle, I That's what I'm saying. How long you want to order depends on your Majesty's own wishes. However, all modifications must adhere to one principle, that is, they are not retroactive. The rules are established to tell others the method they should follow. It is not about punishing behavior that occurred in the past when it was not bound by rules."

"You're just quibbling..." Ke Yin puffed out his cheeks and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Practice brings out the truth, Your Majesty. Please give me these three boxes of money." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

In the end, someone successfully returned home to the holy city of Estali with a total of four boxes of money and hundreds of kilograms of miscellaneous metal ingots without any extra expenses.

Speaking of which, someone's unreasonable attitude towards divine power has once again refreshed their understanding today.

On Earth, purifying metals is a major science. Many metals that have been widely used in modern and modern industries, such as aluminum or titanium, are actually abundant in nature, but they mostly exist in the form of various compounds.

However, there is still a long way to go before the purification method can move from laboratory to industrialization, and then from industrialization to commercialization, and even become profitable. Even the cost remains high, making things that are available everywhere become unattainable after purification.

But with the help of Vulcan's godhead and the halfling goddess who was familiar with metals, separating and purifying these metals was as easy as breathing. Perhaps this is the true value of becoming a god. In one's own domain, those things are like instinct.

Now that the two major events of coinage and gold flow network are advancing, it is time to turn our attention back to the Lost Land, the place closest to money users. Lin, who was just sitting in his room, thinking about where to start, was suddenly interrupted by the sound of panicked footsteps.

"Teacher, teacher, it's not good. There was a thief in our house, and all the money is gone!" The older female apprentice opened the door in a panic and shouted inside.

As soon as the panicked Halumi entered the door, she saw Freya packing and sorting out the simple laser engraving machine and the four open cash boxes in front of her teacher. "Ah." The older girl was stunned for a moment, then said with relief, "Teacher, you took it away. It's just... why does it look a little different?"

The coins in the money box are no longer stacked in a messy way like in the past. Instead, they were neatly stacked in a straight tube shape. The neat arrangement greatly increases the capacity of the cash box. The four-port cash box that was almost full now has a lot more space.

The reason why old coins cannot be organized in this way is because the appearance of old coins is irregular and it is difficult to stack them into a straight tube. Even among the five empires with the most sophisticated coin-minting technology, the double-sided imperial coins, which are regarded as good coins, are still slightly uneven in terms of thickness. You can't tell it just by looking at one or two coins, but when the money is piled together, the skew and distortion are obvious.

This also highlights how exquisite the three mother coins hand-made with Freya's skills and the coins copied by the divine power of the Gold Coin Goddess are in every aspect.

Halumi picked up a new silver coin from the cash box and examined it carefully in her hand. The feeling of using money for a long time made her money weigh about the same as the silver coins she used in the past. It's just that the production level is really far different from the past.

I looked at the front and back of the coin and saw a strange face and a strange badge. Halumi asked curiously: "Teacher, where did you get all this money?"

"I asked the Goddess of Gold Coins to make it herself. But the mother-coin is Freya's work, so praise her."

The silver-bearded female dwarf smiled cheerfully after being complimented. She carried the heavy laser engraving machine on one shoulder and a large baggage in the other hand. Inside the baggage are miscellaneous metal ingots brought back from the Kingdom of God, one of each type. Get ready to go back to the car center.

After saying goodbye to the female apprentice, Freya carried the hundreds of kilograms of goods and walked out alone. As he took each step, the floor creaked with difficulty. It looked like someone was frightened, fearing that a big hole would be made in the floor.

After saying goodbye to the silver-bearded female dwarf, Halumi returned her focus to the coins. She pursed her lips, squinted her eyes, looked at the hot, newly minted coins, and said doubtfully, "Will others accept this?"

"Money is money. As long as it contains gold, silver, and copper, there will be no one who won't accept it. What, is there someone coming to collect money?"

"Yes, teacher. The businessman we deal with is coming to collect money."

Lin directly pointed to the cash box in front of him and said: "According to the ratio of one to one, count enough money to pay the other party. If he is unwilling to accept it, first use magic stones of similar value to cover the shortfall. I will add it later. This is the new currency I will promote in the future, which will replace all the old money currently circulating in Midland."

Although there are still some doubts, apprentices have become accustomed not to question their teachers. After counting the sufficient amount of money, he was ready to meet the merchant who came to collect the bill. But before she left, she was called back by her teacher.

Lin said: "Girl, go check if Uzov and Maier are free tonight. If so, invite them back for dinner. I have something to explain."

"Okay, teacher. Do you have any other instructions?" Halumi asked.

Lin shook his head, and then his blond female apprentice said: "Teacher, I'll go down first."

"Well, go ahead."

Lin is not worried at all about whether the new currency will be accepted. As he said, money is money, and as long as it is not fake, there is no reason why it cannot be used. But the focus is on promotion.

Perhaps with the help of the forum, information has soared from the slow pace of the past, and it can almost keep up with someone who traveled back in time to the era of information explosion. But there is little progress in other aspects.

To promote new money in such a fascinating place, even though I appear confident in front of the Goddess of Gold Coins and the World Tree, most of it is actually pretending.

For the promotion of the Elf Kingdom, proposals have been submitted to the five Elf Kings through the fat elf Wildwalk. As an outsider and a human being, it would be unsightly to interfere too much in matters of national policy level. That level of advice is enough.

The forum is said to be a promotion, but in fact it is just an inducement for people to use the money network established by Ke Yin. After all, there are only a minority of people who will buy things through forums. The current Lost Land is not yet the era of universal online shopping before someone traveled through time.

The only real useful sword in hand is actually the Technical Guild. But this guild is not an organization with strict upper and lower classes. It's just relying on reasonable systems and visible profits to induce people to gather together. If you want to order anyone, you will probably be choked with: "Who are you?"

Therefore, the specific method still needs to be discussed with Uzov Gantia and the dark elf Maier.
