Chapter 19: The Charm of Gold Coins

Even in the city, a gold coin can make a family live in a solid way for a month.

And the income of an ordinary urban worker, who is fortunate to work hard for a year, is only about fifty kild gold coins.

This means that the wealth owned by Eugen alone is equivalent to the income of dozens of workers for a hundred years of hard work.

"Not enough ......" Eugen muttered those three words after hearing Rambo's report.

When Rambo heard Eugen's words, he thought he had misheard. These gold coins are an extremely objective wealth, almost enough to support a small war, but the evaluation in Eugen's mouth is not enough?

What do you want to buy? It takes so much money.

At this time, dozens of Viscount Damtast's personal soldiers walked in in groups of two, carrying a rectangular tin box from outside the tent.

The boxes looked very heavy, and the soldiers in charge of carrying them gritted their teeth and seemed to have used all their strength. Viscount Damtast soon followed the boxes in, followed by the merchant Owen Rose, both of whom were smiling.

After the boxes were placed on the ground, the viscount himself stepped forward and lifted the lids one by one. The light from the outside shone into the box, reflecting the golden sheen. The chests appear to have been specially made for the purpose of storing money, with inch-square tic-tac-toe compartments built into them, and pieces of Kild gold coins are neatly stacked in these squares.

A tin box, when full, is exactly 10,000 gold Kild coins. The five boxes were the cash paid by Viscount Damtast for this transaction.

Gold seems to have some kind of magic by nature, and when tens of thousands of gold coins are placed in front of you, the intuitive impact is too strong. Eugen had never seen so much gold in one place, and when he suddenly saw it, it was as if he had been suddenly hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, and his heart seemed to stop beating for a while.

"General Eugen, this is my fifty thousand kild coins, see if you want to count them." The viscount lifted the lid of the tin box one by one, and the golden luster covered the entire military tent, and the flowing brilliance seemed to have life, revealing a bewitching beauty.

The gaze of Viscount Damtast's personal soldiers involuntarily moved to the gold coins, and there was unconcealed longing in their eyes. Even Rambo and Corleone were slightly sideways, but fortunately they were able to control their behavior.

With a grunt, Eugen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, walked quickly to the box, and reached out to pick up a few gold coins from the box. Cold, hard but smooth to the touch, put in the hand heavy, the hand of the tugging sinks, the heart seems to sink with it.

"No need, no need to count, these gold coins are really beautiful." Eugen looked at the gold coin in his hand and whispered.

The Imperial Eagle emblem on the gold coin is clearly visible, and the portrait of the Founding Emperor of the Empire on the other side is also vivid, indicating that these are brand new coins, which have not been used much, and are of sufficient quality and quantity.

Owen Rose, who was standing behind the Viscount, also stepped forward, took out a letter from his bosom, and said, "Venerable Lord Eugen, this is my fifty thousand gold coins. ”

What Owen Ross pulled out was a letter stamped and signed by himself. The contents of the letter were the proof of withdrawal of 50,000 kild gold coins written by the great merchant himself last night.

This kind of correspondence is somewhat similar to later checks, except that it is not guaranteed by a bank, but by the credibility of Owen Ross himself.

With this credential, you can withdraw the corresponding currency by going to a shop in the name of Owen Rose. In other words, the value of this thing depends entirely on Owen Rose's personal credibility and economic strength.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a blank slip from Owen Rose. In the current empire, and even throughout Europe, some of the most prominent figures often resort to this method when making large payments.

After all, gold coins also have weight, and few people will carry a large amount of gold coins on their bodies when they go out.

According to Eugen's understanding, the reputation of this big businessman of Owen Ross is indeed good. His shops cross borders, from the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of Lake Baikal in the east. He was also a knight of England and was treated with courtesy in the Holy Roman Empire.

Based on these conditions, Eugen would naturally accept the check he had written. On the premise that the exchange is guaranteed, this kind of check is indeed much more convenient than the real gold coin. Although the gold coins are very beautiful and attractive to look at, if you want to take them away, you will need to be escorted by a team of soldiers.

Therefore, after receiving the letter from Owen Rose, Eugen said in due course: "Mr. Owen Roth's reputation is naturally trustworthy, and you will see if it is convenient for you to deposit these 50,000 gold coins." And then give me a proof, if you can, that would really help me. ”

I have to say that the gold coins sent by the viscount were so tempting that Eugen felt that he really couldn't read more. Maybe if he looked at him again, he didn't bother to care about the Black Death. Take these gold coins directly to a certain corner in the east and hide them, and live his free life comfortably, no matter how raging the Black Death is, it will not be able to ravage his head.

Hearing Eugen's words, Owen Rose had a knowing smile on his face, and he took out another letter directly from his arms. The same amount of 50,000 gold coins seems to have been written early in the morning.

"When Viscount Darmstast told me about this, I had guessed that General Eugen might have such a need, so I had prepared in advance. This is a voucher of 50,000 kild gold coins, written with the previous certificate, you can see. ”

With that, Owen Rose respectfully handed over the voucher. Eugen took it and glanced at it casually, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with the content on it, he accepted it into his arms.

"Mr. Owen Ross is a gentleman, and he is very considerate, and I really want to thank you for your help this time."

"There is no such thing, General Eugen is the real big man and has the courage. I'm just a businessman, and I'm still far from you. ”

The two of them touted back and forth, and Viscount Dhamtast also interjected a sentence or two from time to time, but there was no substance.

Soon Owen Rose showed his intention to leave, and Eugen naturally did not hold on anymore, and sent him and Viscount Dhamtast out of the military tent. The Viscount's personal guards lifted the boxes again, ready to carry them to Owen Rose's side.
