Chapter 023 Proposing Currency

Seeing Lin Yu's look, Morax already knew what he was thinking.

"It's very good. This way, the people of Liyue won't have to run around for food because of lack of food."

"Cultivation is much more stable than hunting and gathering."

Morax commented.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Haha, of course!"

In this way, people in Liyue no longer have to worry about what to eat tomorrow.

You can gradually let go of hunting and gathering.

However, in Lin Yu's opinion, this hunting can be turned into capturing, capturing those herbivorous beasts with more meat, and then taming them.

In this way, wouldn’t the problem of the breeding industry be solved?

You can have enough food, and occasionally eat meat. In this ancient era, this kind of life is simply not too good!

Human beings living in Liyue, the happiness level can reach the maximum level in this era!

"Zhuang, can I use potatoes to exchange for some of your sweet potatoes?"

He immediately looked at his neighbor Zhuang and suggested to him.

The thing is, most of Li's fields are planted with potatoes, and only a few sweet potatoes and wheat are planted.

The quantity planted by Zhuang was completely opposite to his. Zhuang mostly planted sweet potatoes and wheat, but very few potatoes were planted.

After hearing Li's suggestion, Zhuang thought for a while.

I felt that I really didn't have many potatoes, so I could use sweet potatoes and wheat, and Xiang Liyi could exchange some for them.

"Okay, let's exchange one potato for one sweet potato. I don't want the ones that are too different in size!" Zhuang said.

If Li uses a small potato in exchange for a large sweet potato, this is obviously not a fair trade.

Zhuang is not stupid, so he will naturally not suffer from this.

Tachiya didn't think about taking advantage of Zhuang, he said with a smile.

"Of course, don't worry, I will definitely choose the best one for you."

The transaction between the two began.

This scene happened to be watched by Lin Yu and Morax who happened to be passing by.

Lin Yu then remembered that in this ancient era when the Demon God War had not yet begun, the concept of currency had not yet appeared. People naturally used the most primitive barter method to trade with each other.

Then can you put forward the concept of currency?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at Morax silently.

And Morax also noticed the gaze from Lin Yu. He looked at Lin Yu doubtfully, and then asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Did you see the process of their redemption?"

"Of course I saw it."

Morax was stunned.

He was not blind. He followed Lin Yu. Since Lin Yu could see it, he could naturally see it too.

"Don't you think it's troublesome for them to do this?"

"Well, there is indeed some trouble. Do you have any ideas?"

The barter method is indeed troublesome, but it is now the accepted exchange method.

Morax naturally also knew the disadvantages of bartering.

One person wants to exchange something in another person's hand, but the other person is not interested in what he is holding.

In this case, this transaction will not be able to proceed.

It is very likely that that person will never be able to redeem what he likes or wants.

However, after hearing Lin Yu's question, Morax subconsciously felt that Lin Yu had some new ideas.

Because Lin Yu had many whims, Morax got used to it.

"Hey, I really have an idea."

"Tell me, is there an item that can replace all the things that can be exchanged? When exchanging items, just give the corresponding number of substitutes."

Lin Yu said.

After hearing what Lin Yu said, Morax thought of something.

That is, in some inland demon territories, their people will use a special kind of shell as currency for transactions.

If you need something, just take this special shell and go to someone else to buy it.

But later, some people discovered a large number of these special shells, which directly resulted in the shells no longer being exchangeable, and people returned to the era of barter.

So is Lin Yu talking about this kind of currency similar to shells?

"The currency used to conduct transactions?"

"Ordinary mortal objects cannot take on this responsibility. Excessive quantity and easy imitation of mortal objects will cause such a monetary purchase system to fall apart."

"The solution... maybe we can make something that cannot be copied by others and has a certain value in itself, and can be circulated as currency in Liyue."

Morax thought about it and said to Lin Yu.

As expected of Morax, who created Mora, he just mentioned it and didn't expect that he would come up with the idea so quickly.

But Morax was still too young.

When Mora was created, a large number of Mora were directly distributed and handed over to people for use as currency.

This led to a problem, that is, the amount of molas in later generations expanded greatly.

This directly led to the high inflation of the Mora, a currency commonly used around the world.

The solution to this high inflation is also very simple, that is, to link the currency with real expensive items and convert the items into currency.

In this way, the currency itself will be given the value of currency.

Rather than the value of Mora itself.

Lin Yu patted Morax on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you are Morax, you have thought of some ideas so quickly?"

"Then if we want to create such a currency system to facilitate the transaction of goods by the people of Liyue, how do you think it should be done?"

After hearing Lin Yu's question, Morax pondered for a while.

He has thought of it.

"As demon gods, each demon god has different authority. If the authority of the demon god is used to make currency, then this will be the best anti-counterfeiting method, and others will not be able to imitate it."

"In this way, the currency system will not collapse due to the influx of counterfeit currency."

"Then make a certain amount of these currencies and distribute them to the people. After a long time, they will naturally circulate."

Morax said what he thought.

Sure enough, it was similar to what Lin Yu had guessed before.

But this would cause inflation of Mora. In order to prevent Mora from becoming so outrageous in the future, so as not to see the scene of 500,000 Mora for a loaf of bread tens of thousands of years later, Lin Yu decided to correct it.

Lin Yu touched his chin and looked at Morax and said.

"If it is just done simply, people don't know the specific value of Mora, nor do they know how much one Mora can be exchanged for."

"At the same time, Mora itself has no value to the people."

"Then why should they accept others taking such a worthless thing to exchange for valuable items in their hands? If it were you, would you be willing?"

This thing can't be eaten. For the people at this stage, it is completely worthless except that it is created by the gods.

The people will obey the will of the gods and trade with Mora.

But in order to prevent themselves from suffering losses, there will definitely be a scene of more than 100 Mora for a potato.

Lin Yu's words made Morax fall into contemplation.

It seems to be true.
