Chapter 272 Monetary System, Points System

"Hey, friend across the street, have you caught enough fish? We've caught a little too much fish today, do you want it? Butch's captain shouted to the wooden boat opposite.

The captain of the boat on the opposite side said loudly: "No need, we have caught enough fish today, thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Then we'll go back."

"We're going back, too."

The people on the two boats looked at each other and smiled, and the previous misunderstanding was gone.

After His Majesty the God King sent 3o fishing nets to the opposite fleet, the next day, their fishing team used the same silver steel wire nets as Butch and them, and the effect was naturally obvious, and the usual catch of only a dozen tons a day had increased to forty or fifty tons, which was enough for more than 30,000 people in the fleet to eat for a few days.

Because of this, the people on the wooden boat fishing team felt a little ashamed of the previous conflict, and they really vented their anger that they couldn't catch fish, and it really didn't matter to them how many fish they couldn't catch.

Of course, people who have been fishing at sea all year round know that the sea water is moving, and the fish are also swimming, and fishing in one place can rob the possibility of catching fish from the upstream fishermen.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have shot you with an arrow." Gutan blushed and apologized to Butch's captain.

"It's okay, the Mother of the Sea God tells us that we can only get through this together by helping each other, and that two ships can go farther than one." Butch's captain said to him with a smile.

Butch's heart blossomed, they didn't have the idea of helping those old hats, they were the people of the noble God King of Light, how could they take the initiative to help others solve their difficulties, they took the initiative to come up and plead.

However, His Majesty the King of God said that these people will be like you in the future, and they will also become part of the Kingdom of God and be your brothers. Care for them so that they will willingly take refuge in the kingdom of God.

"His Majesty the God King is still too merciful."

……

On the other hand, although the problem of food was solved, there were still many other problems that Tie Ge did not solve.

A few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall, the temperature plummeted to minus 2o degrees, a large number of personnel froze to death from frostbite, and his subordinates reported to Tiege: "Lord Tiege, we have frozen to death more than 3oo people in the past two days. ”

"More than 3oo people!" Tie Ge stood up suddenly. Hurry up and take a look at the ships.

Everyone huddled together to keep each other warm, the young man was on the outside, the elderly, women and children were wrapped in the innermost, everyone had very little clothes, and even the crew took off the sails from the mast and let everyone wrap themselves in the sails for warmth.

Fish skin clothing is not warm, hemp silk clothing is very rare, and it is lightweight. It was very thin, and even Tie Ge himself wore a cowhide armor purchased from the 6th land, and two hemp silk robes were put on the outside. Dressed thicker than everyone else, but still very cold.

He looked at the people on the opposite fleet, and the envy in his eyes could not be concealed, and they were all wearing clothes that seemed to be woven of linen cloth. There was velvet in it, it was very thick, and they didn't shiver when they walked. It must have been very warm.

"I can ask them to help with this." Tie Ge made up his mind.

Dawn met Captain Tiego.

The weather was very cold, and Tie Ge said with some teeth chattering: "Strong, powerful Lord God King, our people are being tortured by the icy cold demons, many people are freezing to death because the weather is too cold, I want to buy a batch of clothes you wear from you, we are willing to pay a certain amount of money in exchange." ”

"Money?"

Tie Ge asked people to carry two small boxes over, opened the boxes, and when the morning dawned, there was a box of shells and a box of glittering gold coins.

Tie Ge pointed to the two boxes and said, "Here are five thousand rune color shells, and 3ooo gold dora, these money is all my money, I want to buy 30,000 sets of such clothes from you." Tie Ge pointed to the guards next to Tianming, the thick cotton clothes worn by the guards were the ones he wanted to buy the most.

Tianming asked Elder Mai Jia next to him, "Old Mai, what is Golden Dora?" How about the value of five thousand rune shells? ”

Elder Maiga's eyes flashed with a light and said, "Golden Dora is a kind of coin of Dora God Wang Ming, a golden dora is said to be able to buy a unicorn in 6 lands...... Rune Caibei is the currency handed down from ancient times, if there is no rune engraved on it, the value can only buy 1o catties of rice, engraved runes, can buy 2oo catties of rice, this is 6 on the ground of the algorithm, if at sea, the value of these coins is higher. ”

Legend has it that the god Dora liked glittering metal, especially a golden metal, and he liked it so much that he sent people around to find this metal, and then made these metals into currency, and printed his own head - it became the "Golden Dora" that has been used on the Great 6 for nearly a thousand years.

The history of rune color shells is even longer, as early as the era of annihilation, a more accepted view by the historians of the Blue Star people is that in order to pass on their knowledge to future generations, the ancient ancestors deliberately engraved runes with mysterious power on the color shells - the divine power of runes will eventually be understood and used by future generations. They planted a precious seed in this simple way of passing on knowledge.

"How many sets of cotton clothes should we take in exchange for these coins?" Tianming asked Elder Maiga.

"Now that the end is coming, except for life, every qiē has lost its meaning, and although these coins are a lot, they are not enough to buy 30,000 sets of cotton clothes." Elder Maiga said.

Tie Ge was a little panicked, of course he knew that the current money had almost no actual value except for taking up a little space, but it was also something he had worked hard to save for a long time before he could buy a big ship. After thinking for a while, he said: "Respected God King Xià, you only need to give me 15,000 sets of clothes, and all this money will be yours, and ......"

Tie Ge gritted his teeth, took out a stone from inside his clothes, and said to Tianming: "This is a piece of ocean heart, which can contain boundless divine power, and its value is immeasurable. ”

The heart of the ocean in Tie Ge's hand is a relatively rare pure red, very bright, and it shines as soon as it is taken out, and it is a rare treasure at a glance.

Tianming smiled, pointed to his crystal statue and said to him: "Friend, just look at my statue, I don't lack money, nor do I lack the heart of the ocean. The things you have in your hands aren't very rare in my eyes. Of course, I decided to agree to your request and agree to the deal to give you 15,000 outfits. ”

Tie Ge was overjoyed, this was too unexpected, on the sea, linen cloth was already very valuable, and to make such a thick garment, no two horses are not enough. Moreover, it is now at the end of the world, and the hemp silk tree species can be planted, but it is impossible to wait for the hemp silk tree to produce hemp silk fruits.

Cloth is now a non-renewable resource.

"Thank you! Thank you! Your kindness has saved tens of thousands of lives, and your kindness has earned you respect, thank you! Tie Ge's tone was a little incoherent.

Last time, Tianming ordered 2o million sets of thick cotton clothes from the base, and after giving each Blue Star person a set. There were more than 60,000 sets left, and it was not much pressure to sell 15,000 sets to Tiege, and in the afternoon of the same day, the people on Tianming's side sent the clothes over. Soon, there were bursts of cheers from the opposing fleet.

……

The runes were all taken away by Elder Maiga, and he wanted to find some runes from these colored shells that he had never seen. Record it and organize it into a rune dictionary, if you can comprehend two more. Maybe it can improve his ability a lot.

3ooo gold dora was taken away by Tianming, a gold dora weighs about 2o grams, swept the internal composition, the gold content accounts for about 95%, it is genuine gold.

Gold is a thing, the amount of accumulation in Tianming's hands, has been 3 tons, seeing gold has long been not as excited as it was at the beginning, of course, its value is still very high, in hard currency, gold is a metal that retains value.

The fleet has more than 130,000 Blue Star people, and the material reserves are also abundant, but the current rationing system is implemented, and he has not yet established a monetary system.

Money is an indispensable and most commonly used thing in the material circulation process of a mature society, and all aspects of society are inseparable from money.

In Tianming's fleet, because all the important materials were provided by him, even if some Blue Star people carried some currency such as colored shellfish and golden dora, they did not have purchasing power, because he did not recognize the value of this currency, nor did he let this currency flow, and all the food, clothing, and housing of everyone in the fleet were all solved by Tianming, and everyone's quality of life was about the same, a bit like an equal primitive society.

Of course, Tianming also knew a little about the social status system of the Blue Star people, and it was very clear, distracting the god king, elders/nobles, generals, soldiers, civilians, slaves, and very strict, if it was a commoner, it would be a commoner for a lifetime, if it was a slave, it would be a slave for a lifetime, and if it was a nobleman, it would be a nobleman at birth.

There is no possibility for a slave to make a leap upward. If a commoner wants to rise to the next level, it is only possible to become a priest or a chosen warrior, but this probability may be less than 1 in 10,000.

Tianming wants to build a society where all beings are equal for the Blue Star people, it is almost impossible, the disparity in the strength of the Blue Star people is too great, there are god kings comparable to nuclear bombs, there are priests with powerful divine power, and there are even high-level God-chosen warriors with one enemy and one hundred, so that they can be ordinary citizens? How is this possible.

A certain class system should be preserved, so that the powerful are in the upper echelons of society, enjoying most of the rights and high-end material resources, so that they have the motivation to work hard with the leader.

Of course, the middle and lower classes should also leave a certain channel for rising, so that those with outstanding talents have the opportunity to show their talents and get ahead. For example, the military merit system and the meritorious service system are prepared for them by Tianming, and the more meritorious service they make, the greater the chance they will get.

The idea of these systems is still in the process of being conceived and perfected, and he has not yet implemented them, and his idea is that he must create a system that is much better than what is commonly practiced by the Blue Star people now.

It does not have the greater class oppression, but also retains a very large circulation of good talents, and guarantees the basic right to subsistence and personal freedom of even the lowest classes...... As for the ultimate "equality for all" society, let's wait a few hundred years before that.

Returning to the topic of money, money is the beginning of all things, and it is also the root of all evil, once money appears, there will be various social phenomena, such as the trading of goods, the emergence of manual laborers (craftsmen), as well as human trafficking, gambling, usury, robbery and other phenomena, all because of the evil created by this thing, or money carries all kinds of evil of people.

"But currency is also an important gear to drive the social exhibition, with currency, there are craftsmen, there is a technology exhibition, there is a rapid rise of the science and technology tree...... It is necessary to tap out the productivity of the Blue Star people themselves and form a self-sufficient society with producers and consumers, so that my burden will be much smaller. Tianming muttered to himself.

In order to solve the various problems of these hundreds of thousands of Blue Star people, Tianming built ships, made weapons, made fishing nets, bought ammunition, bought cotton clothes, and bought various daily necessities, almost all the problems were solved, and the Blue Star people were also idle and bored, and most of them were now in a state of idleness, contributing some divine consciousness when praying every day, which seemed to be their biggest role.

Tianming quickly produced the three currencies he had conceived for a long time:

The first is a black iron coin, which weighs 1og, a bit like a 1 yuan coin, which is worth one point and can buy a pound of dried fish.

The second type is the silver steel coin, which weighs 8g, which is about the same as the black iron coin, and is worth ten points, which can buy several silver steel needles or a roll of yarn.

The third is the gold coin, which weighs 2og, which is basically exactly the same as Jindora, but the head on the back of the gold coin is his own, the color and pattern are very exquisite, and it is worth a hundred points, and you can buy a silver steel dagger.

The three currencies were produced 5oo, 1oo0,000, and 10,000 respectively, and after Tianming handed them over to the treasurer Cooper, the fleet quickly implemented a point system.

Cooper said to all those who came to inquire about the situation: "His Majesty the King of God has decreed that from this day onwards, all those in the fleet, only laborers and soldiers, are eligible to receive points, of which the fisherman can get five to ten points for catching a day's fish; A soldier who serves for a month can get 3oo-5oo points; In addition, the priests and elders can get 5oo-1ooo points a month; Priest apprentices, with a subsidy of 2oo points a month. And these points, you can come to the treasure storehouse, in exchange for the items corresponding to the points, and even, you can also exchange these points for the three newly minted currencies of the god king Xià, with these currencies, you can also buy various materials at the treasure storehouse. ”

Someone below was anxious and hurriedly asked: "We don't have points, don't we even have anything to eat, aren't we going to starve to death?" ”

"There's no need to worry about this," Cooper continued: "Everyone eats in the cafeteria, goes to the bathhouse to take a bath, and goes to the toilet to go to the toilet without points, His Majesty the God King provides it for free, but some clothes, cups, tables, chairs, tools, and the like will not be provided for free, and you need to exchange points and money for it." ”

Another person asked, "So how do we get points?" ”

"It's very simple, with your hands, we have prepared some things, such as needles, cotton silk, cotton cloth, wood, silver steel wire, rivets, metal tools and other things, everyone can receive things worth 5oo points, and then, after you go back, you can use these tools and raw materials to do your own work, weaving clothes, weaving fishing nets, building ships, making wooden furniture and other things, and then sell them to us, or sell them to others, so that you have points and money."

A middle-aged Blue Star man stood up and said, "I am a jeweler, I have built a divine throne for His Majesty the God King, can you provide me with jewelry and carving knives?" ”

"This ...... I'm going to ask His Majesty the God King. After a while, Cooper came back and said to the man: "His Majesty the God King said yes, the jewels in the warehouse can be provided, but the things you carve must meet a certain quality standard." ”

The middle-aged Blue Star man patted his chest and said, "My skills have been passed down from my ancestors in the previous era, and I am very confident. ”

All of a sudden, the whole fleet became extremely lively.
