"Copper coins?" Zhao Hu's heart jumped, and then he looked at Peter beside him with some uncertainty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He did not know whether the coin exchange in the Southeast Peninsula was the same as that of the Augustan Empire. If so, then the wages are too cheap.

Peter was also in a heartbeat, he knew the money exchange in the Southeast Peninsula, and he also knew what the wages of imperial shipwrights were.

He approached Zhao Hu and muttered in his ear: "The city lord of Mingyue told me that the currency exchange on the Southeast Peninsula is the same as ours, it is too cheap, promise him quickly!" ”

Zhao Hu was taken aback by this answer, this salary is really too cheap, he didn't think about it, and immediately said: "I will give you a salary of ten gold coins a month, I hope you will serve me wholeheartedly." ”

The eyes of the three old men and their families, as well as the man, all lit up, and the three old men immediately took their families to kowtow to allegiance.

After the three old men were taken down by the guards, Zhao Hu, who was full of smiles, casually grabbed a money bag from the box next to him and threw it to the man: "Very good, hard work, this is a reward for you, tell Maude, work harder, I will reward him again when I come back." ”

When Maude left, in order to show loyalty or for himself, he secretly hinted to Zhao Hu that he likes monetary rewards, so Zhao Hu prepared a box of money bags, and the gold coins in the money bag are more or less, and how to reward depends on whether the news reported by the person reporting is important.

In fact, there is no need to be reminded by others, Zhao Hu, who has led soldiers, also knows that "reward immediately if you do a good job, and punish immediately if you do bad" is the only rule of leading soldiers.

"Yes, thank you!" The man who picked up the money bag touched the money bag, and his heart was immediately happy: "There are no square holes, it's not copper coins, it's so thick and round, it must be a silver coin from the empire!" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly kowtowed happily in thanks.

When the man had withdrawn, the seven or eight brothers who had come with him to guard the gate of the lord's house immediately came forward.

"Big brother! Lord, uh, how much did the lord tip? ”

Of course, Maude's cronies had been admonished by him, so they all knew to call Zhao Hu an adult.

"Hehe, I can guarantee that there are definitely more than a dozen silver coins in it, which is enough for our brothers to go back to Mingyue City for a while." The man shook the money bag triumphantly.

"Well, it's a pity there isn't a tavern here, otherwise we'd have had a drink now."

A man sighed, and this resonated with everyone, and they all swallowed saliva with a look of pity.

"Big brother, let me have long eyes, little brother hasn't seen what silver coins are like."

The youngest teenager in the group stared at the money bag in the man's hand and said with a salivating face. As soon as they heard this, the others also responded for a while.

It's no wonder that they are so, after all, people who become rogues, especially the soldiers in the rogues, where can they get money?

It's pitiful to say, there are not a few people among the rogues who have never even seen what gold coins look like.

"Hey, look at your interest, what's so great about silver coins, Lao Tzu has also seen gold coins, but the silver coins of this empire are different from the silver coins on our side, all the coins on their side are round, and all the coins on our side are oval except for copper coins......"

Although the man looked disdainful, he poured out the coins from the money bag as everyone wished.

The people who were hiding in the corner of the square in a circle were all dumbfounded when they saw the dozen or so golden coins.

Even if they had never seen a gold coin before, they could tell that the dozen or so coins were not silver coins at all!

"Oh my God! Is this color the legendary gold coin? Everyone exclaimed in their hearts, and immediately turned their heads to see if anyone around them had noticed their side.

The man swallowed his saliva, and muttered with bright eyes: "Although I knew that the lord was generous when I rewarded the army that day, I didn't expect to be generous to this extent, just I was ordered to report the news, and I was rewarded with more than a dozen gold coins, if I made a meritorious service......"

Everyone looked at the man with red eyes, and the man's heart immediately welled up with remorse.

If you know that there are gold coins inside, you will never pour out the money, because when the time comes, you can only take out a gold coin and invite them to eat and drink, and the rest of the gold coins will be all your own.

Of course, he thought so, but he was not stupid enough to be exposed and swallowed it by himself, so he forced a smile and said, "Take one per person to spend." ”

Everyone immediately cheered, and quickly held a gold coin in his hand, looking at the remaining three or four gold coins, the man could only comfort himself secretly.

However, he also secretly decided that the next time he encountered such a good opportunity, he would definitely not bring anyone here! But thinking about it, it seems impossible, after all, the news that the lord's reward is all in gold coins will spread soon, and everyone will definitely be staring at the person who reported the news.

"Hehe, how many silver coins is this gold coin? How many copper coins are there...... Ah, anyway, it's a lot, enough for us to live a good life comfortably! ”

"Hee-hee, I'm going to wrap Cuihua for a month, and I'm going to ravage her hard this month! Who told her not to look at me last time! ”

"Woo, I'm rich, I'm finally rich!"

Seeing the brothers so excited, the man struck them: "A bunch of fools! Don't forget that there are no gold coins here that weigh one or two at all, that is to say, this gold coin can only be exchanged for two or three thousand copper coins in the Southeast Peninsula! ”

"Two or three thousand copper coins? Hehe, that's not bad, it's enough for us to have a good time. ”

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they couldn't help but get excited again when they thought of the basket of copper coins.

In the lord's mansion, Peter sighed: "I didn't expect the labor in the Southeast Peninsula to be so cheap, and the monthly salary of an old qualified shipwright is only one hundred and fifty copper coins, which is less than the price of two silver coins, compared with the monthly salary of one gold coin for an apprentice on our side, it is simply a world of difference!" ”

"My lord, according to this, the prices in the southeast peninsula are very low, otherwise they would not pay for more than 100 with copper coins." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't purchase in the Southeast Peninsula, I believe that smuggling the goods from the Southeast Peninsula alone would be enough to make us rich." Peter nodded.

"Hmph, the Southeast Peninsula is a lot of copper mines, so all transactions are calculated in copper coins, that bastard in Mingyue City sells the goods on our side, and all he gives is copper coins, and he has to charge a handling fee for exchanging them into gold coins, so he really fucking wants money, and he also pays back his partner!" Kate said dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows, and said with a little doubt: "Is there a shortage of gold on the Southeast Peninsula?" Otherwise, why don't you just hand over the gold coins? ”

"It's very scarce, I heard that although there are gold and silver mines on the Southeast Peninsula, it is difficult to mine, unlike copper mines, which are almost all mountainous." Peter casually responded, but then he immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Damn! Let that bastard take advantage of you! ”

"What?" Kate asked, confused.

Peter jumped to his feet and scolded, "What else? It's that bastard from Bright Moon City! Damn it! Gold is scarce, and copper coins are rampant, and one gold coin is definitely exchanged for more than a thousand copper coins, and that damn bastard actually pays according to the exchange rate on our side every time, I ...... I...... Eighteen generations of his ancestors! ”

Peter completely lost his demeanor at the moment, and scolded frantically.

Kate was stunned for a moment, and confirmed to Zhao Hu with a little hesitation: "In other words, we were cheated by that bastard in exchanging gold coins for copper coins?" ”

Zhao Hu nodded and asked curiously, "Didn't you inquire clearly?" ”

Kate smiled helplessly: "We can't find out the news at all, and the rogues we caught were also executed on the spot, so we didn't think of inquiring about these at all." The bastard said that it would be the same as ours, and we believed it, but we didn't expect him to lie to us! ***！ ”

Speaking of the back, Kate also scolded.

Seeing that they were so excited, Zhao Hu beckoned to the Oak guards beside him, and asked him to inquire about the exchange rate of the Southeast Peninsula from those rogues, so as not to know if he suffered a loss in the future.

Oaked soon returned, but looked at Peter and the two, who were tired and began to drink tea, with a strange face.

Seeing the strange look in Zhao Hu's guard's eyes, Peter pointed at Oak with his chin and asked Zhao Hu, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Hu said: "I asked him to ask those rogues about the exchange rate on the Southeast Peninsula, is there a result?" ”

Hearing this, Peter and Kate immediately stared at Oaked.

Oaked hesitated for a moment, swallowed his saliva and said, "My lord, I have heard that one gold coin in the Southeast Peninsula can be exchanged for ten silver coins. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Peter and the others.

When the two of them heard this, their expressions were relieved.

The exchange rate of gold and silver is the same, and the exchange rate of silver and copper should not be much worse, right?

As if he had deliberately hit them, Oaked continued as they breathed a sigh of relief: "One silver coin for a thousand copper coins. ”

As if hit by a thunderbolt, Peter immediately softened, and Kate immediately jumped up and grabbed Oaked by the collar, and yelled with a hideous face: "How many copper coins do you say one silver coin is exchanged?" ”

Oaked was not afraid, but shouted in the loudest voice: "One silver coin for a thousand copper coins!" ”

Kate let go of her hand, her eyes were scattered, and she stumbled back and forth, muttering in a confused tone: "One gold coin for ten silver coins over the Southeast Peninsula, one silver coin for a thousand copper coins?" On the Imperial side, a hundred copper coins are exchanged for one silver coin, that is to say, a piece of goods that earns one gold coin over there, and when it is exchanged for copper coins, it earns ten copper coins, which means that ten gold coins are earned!

"I was supposed to give me ten gold coins, but that bastard gave me one! And this gold coin will give him five copper coins as a handling fee! I ......"

Muttering to herself, Kate suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person collapsed.
