Chapter 8 Monetary System
"Of course it's amazing, the Tianjiao List refers to the pride of the sky in each city, the 1,000 people under the age of 13 with the greatest combat effectiveness. My brother's combat strength is 153, and I heard from the villagers that he ranks 997th on the Qingzhou Tianjiao List.
I heard that the official population of Qingzhou has more than 2 million people, and those who can be on the list are generally between 10 and 13 years old, and there are only 100,000 children at this age, and only 1,000 people are on the list.
I also want to strive to enter the Qingzhou Talent List!" Xiao Shi said with a dance, proud of his brother, and he was also particularly fascinated by the pride list that day, his eyes flashed and he was full of expectations.
Tianjiao list, the best in the same age, that is, in the same age, only one in the average 100 people can be on the list, in exchange for the 07 college entrance examination on the earth, the difficulty of the Tianjiao list is comparable to that of candidates in Gui Province who are admitted to 985 colleges and universities.
Mo Mo asked the system and compared the data of the Lower Heavenly Spirit Continent, his combat power was 5, that is, his strength and endurance were 2 points of combat power, and his speed was 1 point of combat power, which was really vulnerable.
Mo Mo also had to admire Shi Feng who was fighting in 153, and looked at the big stone full of envy.
Shi Feng blushed a little from his younger brother's praise, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Combat power 153 is nothing, the combat power of the top of the Qingzhou talent list is more than 400, if you go to the imperial city, you have to have a combat power of more than 300 to enter the Tianjiao list, and the combat power of the top of the list has reached 600!
Shi Wu hit his eldest son, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "There is also a national list of 10,000 people, which requires people under 18 years old and a combat power of more than 500 to enter the list, and the combat strength values at the top of the list are more than 1,000, if Shi can enter the list before the age of 18, even if it is the last place, then I will have no regrets in my life."
But we don't have the resources, and we don't have the medicine of the intermediate medicinal bath, and it is difficult for the stone to reach 500 combat power in this life, after all, after the age of 22, the growth rate of combat effectiveness plummets, and the older you are, the more difficult it is to improve.
Before the age of 22, it is the stage when the human body develops the fastest and improves its combat effectiveness. ”
Shi Wu sighed, worried about the funds needed for the eldest son's medicinal bath, and continued: "As for the Qingzhou Ten Thousand Earth List and the Ten Thousand Nations Heavenly List, those who can enter are peerless geniuses, and it is too far away for us, so let's not talk about it." ”
"Yes, Da Shi wants to take an intermediate medicinal bath, and he needs too much money,......" Aunt Shi sighed on the side and said slowly.
Medicated bath, is to use a cauldron to boil herbs, put in crushed animal foot bones and animal essence blood, boil, until the potion is viscous, cut off the fire, pour into the bathtub or wooden barrel, after the temperature of the potion is slightly cooled, people are immersed in the potion, so that the human body absorbs the medicinal power.
The practice of martial arts in this world is not about taking pills, and your skills can "swish" up.
The Heavenly Spirit Continent pays attention to tempering the muscles, bones and blood, that is, strengthening the human epithelial tissue, neurons and glial cells, which is easier to understand from the analysis of human biology.
Macroscopically speaking, the medicated bath is the human body through the epithelial tissue, from the herbs to pinch and integrate a variety of strengthening elements, and then combine the non-elemental into a higher-level compound, organic reaction, just like the general steel and alloy non-vegetarian elements in different proportions of the element matching, transformed into alloy steel, so as to improve muscle strength and toughness, increase the strength of bones and viscera, to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body.
In the Heavenly Spirit Continent, only children over the age of three are suitable for medicinal baths, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the pain of boiling in medicinal baths, and it is easy to suffocate to death.
The medicated bath should be gradual, and it is not advisable to skip the level of the medicated bath, otherwise it will hurt the foundation of the human body's force.
Aunt Shi frowned and said: "This year, the stone is on the Tianjiao list, and our family has less poll tax, or each person needs to pay 1,000 copper coins every year."
Like our family, the annual income is less than 10 gold coins, of which hunting income accounts for most of it, which is considered to be a very good economic situation in the village, but there are too many places to spend money, and we can't save a few gold coins a year,......"
From Aunt Shi's words, Mo Mo learned that the combat strength had exceeded 150, and then using the primary medicinal bath had no effect.
If you want to quickly improve your combat effectiveness, you need intermediate herbs for a medicinal bath, each medicine requires 5 gold coins, and you can take a medicinal bath every four months, and you need 15 gold coins a year, which is not at all something that Shi Wu's family can afford.
Regarding Mo Mo's question, Shi Wu's family knew everything, said everything, and said everything, as if they were pouring out their distress to Zhiji.
Uncle Wu's family's attitude towards him, Mo Mo also felt a little strange, if a child chatted with him, it was estimated that he would not say so much.
It is estimated that the two adults treat him as a real guest, or even as an adult, plus they are simple and kind, maybe they are pouring out their hearts, or Mo Mo can't explain it.
Mo Mo had a lot of questions in his heart, and he asked everything.
After a while, Mo Mo had a general understanding of the division of the monetary system in the Tianling Continent, 1 purple gold coin = 100 gold coins = one million copper coins, each gold coin weighs about 21 grams, and the copper coin weighs about 10 grams.
Mo Mo asked secretly: "System, what is the idea of reselling metal?"
"Host, if the cash price of the earth is 200 yuan per gram, a gold coin weighs 21 grams and is worth 4,200 yuan. The price of brass on earth is about 43,000 yuan per ton, and a gold coin is worth 195 catties of copper coins.
A gold coin in the Heavenly Spirit Continent is worth 200 catties of copper coins, and there is no difference in price, and there is no money to be made by reselling metal. ”
"Oh, I see. Mo Mo was slightly disappointed, and finally came up with a good idea to make money, but it turned out to be useless. The pig horns in Ma's novels traveled to the other world, and it was a lot of money to resell gold and silver, but why was it so difficult for him to make money.
"In that case, the annual income of the uncle's family is less than 50,000 yuan, which is still a good income in the village, of which the poll tax has to be paid 420 yuan per person per year, which is really a heavy burden!" Mo Mo secretly converted the life and income of the village.
Mo Mo asked curiously: "What will happen if you don't pay the poll tax?" 1,000 copper coins per person a year is a lot!"
Shi Wu slowly explained: "The government registers the population over the age of 13 in the village from time to time every year, and the poll tax is paid according to the village.
Unless you hide in the forest for the rest of your life, you don't go into the city to buy goods. You're not under 13 years old, and it's not going to be levied on you, so don't worry about anything. ”
The poll tax is indeed heavy for the people, but the good thing is that there are no other miscellaneous taxes, and 1,000 copper coins per person a year can still be afforded.
It is impossible for people to live in the mountains and forests in order to escape the poll tax, and without team strength, they cannot fight against wild beasts at all, and it is difficult to survive.
"Uncle Da, are the medicines of the primary medicinal bath very expensive?" Mo Mo had an in-depth understanding of the magical functions of the medicinal bath, and if he wanted to quickly improve his strength, the medicinal bath was the only way.
Otherwise, it is very slow to improve only through exercise, and he is going to reach the combat effectiveness of the big stone, and he really doesn't know the year of the monkey.
A pair of intermediate medicine costs 5 gold coins, and no matter how cheap the primary medicine is, it is estimated that it will not be cheap.
