The horses' hooves kicked up a slight dust on the main road of the town of Canlos, and at dusk most of the shops in the town were closed, and there were few pedestrians coming, and the streets smelled of being deserted.
"Your Excellency Xia Lan, what you did just now was really ......"
When there was no one around, Pandelia whispered softly on horseback, but she didn't know exactly how to describe what had just happened.
Dangerous? Impulse?
Difficult to interpret.
"Risky?"
Xia Lan held the reins of the horses, but her eyes kept observing the situation around the street,
"Yes! Very adventurous! Why are you doing this, Your Excellency? ”
Looking at Xia Lan's calm appearance, Pandelia couldn't help but say angrily.
"But at least we managed to get through the town of Kandros." Xia Lan still said calmly.
"Don't you think about what happened in it! Are we in trouble? Pandelia said angrily, lowering her voice.
"Don't worry, the power of the town of Kanlos can't stop us from escaping!" Charland Road.
"You ......"
Pandelia was so angry that she continued to reprimand, because the man didn't pay any attention to their feelings, and acted completely according to his own code of conduct.
"I'm sure of it! That captain of the city guard must have noticed something wrong with us! ”
At this time, Pandelia soothed the anger in her chest and tried her best to steady.
"Of course, it is indeed difficult for such a clumsy lie to deceive a sophisticated person."
Charan stopped and looked sideways at a still brightly lit building on the street.
"Your Excellency Xia Lan, what exactly is your purpose?"
A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and Pandelia seemed to think of something.
"Purpose? Instead of sneaking into hiding, it's better to cover it up openly! ”
Xia Lan walked straight to the bright building.
"The hotel has arrived."
Mintok Lodge?
Pandelia was stunned, and when she looked up slightly, she saw the conspicuous signboard of the building in front of her!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mintok Inn! Is there anything you can do to help? ”
As soon as he approached the door of the hotel, a clever young man at the door politely came to Xia Lan and the others and said respectfully.
"Accommodation."
Xia Lan said succinctly and directly.
"How many rooms do you need?"
"Three."
"Okay, do you have any other instructions?" The squire continued to ask with a patient smile.
"Take care of our horses."
"And ......"
Suddenly, Winnie, who was speechless next to Pandelia, raised her small hand and said eagerly: "We also need a lot of hot water for bathing!" ”
"Do as Miss asks."
Pushing open the door of the hotel, there was a noisy noise in my ears, and as far as I could see, there were many tourists gathering on the tables and chairs in the lobby of the hotel, talking and drinking with each other.
When they found out that there were new guests at the hotel, many of them focused their eyes on Xia Lan, or rather, their eyes were on Winnie, who was not blinded!
"Yo, that lovely and beautiful young lady, do you have time to talk to me about life tonight?"
"Haha...... Aren't you seeing that pretty lady already has a man next to her, Arion? ”
"Men? Why didn't I see it? Where is he? Where is he? ”
"Haha......"
As a traveler in the lobby of the hotel stood on a chair and made an exaggerated gesture of looking left and right, the noisy people in the lobby immediately burst into laughter.
"What a vulgar place."
Pandelia shrouded in a cloak and frowned and whispered.
"No, Winnie thinks it's very lively......"
Winnie, who was beside her, pursed her lips and chuckled.
Women are vain, and when they face men's praise, even if they don't say it, they can't help but feel joy in their hearts.
Therefore, men should not be stingy with their praise when facing women, even if they are deceived by rhetoric, the satisfaction and joy of vanity in a woman's heart will become a ladder for you to enter her heart.
"This gentleman and young lady, please forgive the guests in the hotel for their offensiveness, but you have to believe that they have absolutely no ill intentions!"
At the hotel counter, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man looked at the arrival of Xia Lan and the others with a smile on his face and said kindly.
"Where is our room?"
Xia Lan nodded expressionlessly and went straight to the point.
"Your room is ready, do you need dinner to be brought in with you?" The middle-aged ordinary innkeeper said.
"Yes."
"Yes, thanks to your presence, a total of 18 silver coins." The innkeeper did some calculations at the counter.
Xia Lan took out a money bag from her arms, took out a few gold shiny coins from it and put them on the counter and said, "Can Adria gold coins be paid?" ”
After the innkeeper looked at Xia Lan carefully, his eyes were fixed on the gold coins handed by the other party on the counter.
"Of course, but, this gentleman, if it's Adria gold, I'm afraid you'll need six."
"Is it depreciating again?"
Xia Lan said something inexplicably.
"Yes, it seems that you are no stranger to this aspect, sir."
Taking the sixth gold coin handed by Xia Lan, the innkeeper said with a smile.
……
"Mr. Charan, why are the gold coins of the Adria Kingdom so cheap here? Even the silver coins look more valuable than it! ”
The attendant led Xia Lan and his party on the way to the room, and Winnie, who was particularly sensitive to money, couldn't help but ask curiously when she found out that Xia Lan was strange when she paid the bill at the counter.
"Gold content, liquidity, trust."
Xia Lan's succinct answer made Winnie's eyes widen, because she didn't understand the meaning at all.
"Winnie, you haven't left the Adria Kingdom before, have you?"
Looking at the girl with a puzzled face, Pandelia spoke softly.
"Yes." Winnie nodded and looked at Pandelia and said, "Does Pandelia know what he means?" ”
"Hmm."
"Hee-hee...... It turns out that Pandelia knows so many things, can you tell me what this means? ”
Winnie hugged Pandelia's arm and said affectionately.
"Okay, then let me explain the gold content to you first."
Pandelia patted Winnie, who was leaning on her, and suddenly pulled out a glittering gold coin from her bosom.
"Look at my gold coin......"
Before Pandelia could finish speaking, Winnie's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the gold coin in her hand in her hand!
"Gold coins... Gold ......"
Rather dumbfounded, watching Winnie's swift movements, remembering the conversation Winnie had had with her, Pandelia was a little relieved.
"What is the difference between the gold coins in your hand and the Adria gold coins?"
Hearing Pandelia's question, Winnie carefully took out an Adria gold coin from her bosom, and after a moment, she seemed to notice, "It seems that the gold coin that Pandelia gave me is heavier." ”
"That's right." Pandelia said, "Do you know why the gold coin I gave you is heavier? ”
Winnie tilted her little head and thought for a moment, "Is this what you said about the gold content?" ”
"I can't tell Winnie is smart." Pandelia patted Winnie's little head and smiled, "Yes, because the gold coins I gave you are all made of real gold, but Adria gold coins are not." ”
"What?"
Winnie stared at the Adria Gold Coin in her hand and said in surprise, "Isn't the Adria Gold Coin not a gold coin?" ”
"To be exact, Adria Gold Coin is only a third of the gold content of the one in my hand! Even less, and not only that, but even Adria's silver and bronze coins are so different from those in circulation! ”
"Why is this ......happening?"
Looking at Winnie, who was stunned, Pandelia had no choice but to continue to explain: "Because the Adria Kingdom does not belong to the production area of large-scale gold mines, coupled with the Lelaso Mountains, it has caused great inconvenience for the Adria Kingdom to communicate with the outside world, so the Adria Kingdom has formed its own economic structure and operation system for a long time. ”
"What's the stake?" Winnie said dumbfounded.
"Let's not talk about the relationship between the state and the independent economy, to put it simply, the Kingdom of Adria does not have enough sources to mint coins! So they can only follow a special method to stabilize the economic base of the country. ”
"Is that why Adria Gold is so cheap?" Winnie seemed to understand whether she understood or not.
"Well, because most of the Adria gold coins are in circulation in the country, for outside countries, the Adria gold coins are like a worthless counterfeit currency, and people naturally reject this kind of currency."
"Liquidity affects trustworthiness, and the poor quality of the currency itself has led to the current value of the Adria Gold Coin."
At this point in the conversation, the two were already in the hotel room.
Pandelia wearily took off her large white cloak and hung it on the hanger, and walked straight to the soft sofa in the hotel to rest.
"Aren't all the Adria coins I have now?"
Winnie bit her lip and cried without tears as she held the heavy money bag in her hand.
Pandelia looked back at poor Winnie and sighed: "Actually, the problem is not so exaggerated, the value of different currencies affects their purchasing strength at the same time, when you exchange all currencies for huàn, you will find that in fact, your losses are not as strict as you imagined!" ”
"Pandelia, is this true?"
"Of course."
"Isn't it really a lie to me? That's all my savings! ”
"Of course it's true!"
Pandelia said helplessly: "Moreover, the man you follow is probably the source of your money, why should you worry so much about this issue?" ”
"Huh—how did I forget it!"
Winnie shouted in joy.
"That's because you're all in the gold."
Pandelia said unceremoniously.
――
The previous chapter provides a brief overview of Elderland's monetary system, with the Kingdom of Adria being one of the exceptions.
When you travel to another country with the currency of one country, the value of the currency between the two countries will be affected by the gold content, liquidity and trust of each country, so the value of the currency of different countries is created.
The geography of the Principality of Sisinia is different from that of the Edria, so their currency is also more widely recognized in circulation in the surrounding countries, and the currency of the Principality of Sisinia can be regarded as a strong currency, unlike the inferior currency of the Adria, which is like a counterfeit.
