Chapter 511: Currency
Ye Zi'an walked quickly to the front of the "elevator", but found that it was not the kind of "elevator" he imagined.
Different from the existence of "elevators" in the business area, it is said that it is an "elevator" here, but it should be said that it is a "human elevator".
Because the power it requires is manpower, the interior compartment sits a man who collects money.
There are thick special iron chains on both sides, which are pulled back and forth by the hands of the people standing below.
It is said that the existence of "elevators" is more like a hanging basket, not to mention compared with the "elevator" in the business area.
"So that's the same with the escalator over there?" Looking at the spinning escalator over there, he muttered.
When I came to the side to watch, as I guessed, there were two strong men above or below each escalator.
There was a constant pull on the escalator, and the people on it moved slowly.
It's really creative, it seems that the owner of this mansion has seen the world.
And the mind is also quite flexible, compared to using the magic circle to run, the use of manpower not only saves effort but also saves money.
Although the two are not comparable, it is not bad to be able to make such an attempt.
Don't underestimate such a crude tool, you really want to make it and run stably.
It also takes a lot of thought to be able to do this, after all, imitation also requires a certain ability.
After walking around casually, I didn't see the little fairies.
Choose a conspicuous seat, take out the circle and sit and look at it carefully.
After a long time.
The little fairies were dangling with their empty hands, but they were followed by a large number of people carrying full of things.
"Look! It's time to pay the bills. Came to Ye Zi'an's side and said quickly.
Ye Zi'an looked up and saw the formation behind them, "Huh? How about you all pay with me? ”
I'd love to ask Xiaoxian so many things? Are they really all necessities?
But it is impossible to ask here, and I saw more than a dozen people carrying large and small bags.
How troublesome it is to settle the matter one by one, and do business in the same building, right!?
Wouldn't it be easier and more convenient to settle together in this way?
Among the dozen or so people, a middle-aged man came out, "This young master, we have calculated, we need a total of silver coins." ”
Ye Zi'an frowned slightly, looked at them and asked, "A silver coin?" What is the currency? ”
However, I was very satisfied with Xiao Xian'er's actions in my heart, and I knew that I ran over to settle it.
Before, all the possessions had been looted by her, but those were all gold coins.
There is no currency below the gold coin, and the currency below the gold coin is used as a reserve for yourself.
In this case, if you really have to take out the gold coins to settle the bill.
I'm afraid that a single gold coin can buy the entire building.
Because the currency of each state is different, or rather, the currency of copper coins in each state is different.
To put it simply, the Tianming Empire will only mint silver coins and gold coins, and copper coins are rarely minted.
This is because silver and gold coins need to be minted with aura.
Not only is the manufacturing process cumbersome, but the materials selected are also expensive.
In this way, for each silver and gold coin produced, the cost of the coin is equal to the price it represents.
Therefore, only the Empire will have the courage to produce silver and gold coins.
And because copper coins are popular among ordinary people, they are not very important.
In this way, there are very few manufactures, and the permission to mint is also shared with the four major states, so that they can go to the minting respectively.
And because of the large area of the major states, if they really mint a unified copper coin.
The cost would have far exceeded the value of the copper coin itself, and would have to be multiplied several times.
As a result, when a copper coin is minted, you will lose one or even several copper coins.
Under these circumstances, the four major states, with the exception of major cities, controlled the right to mint copper coins.
Give the permission to mint Copper Coins to the next level of the city, and let them mint it themselves.
After all, its territory is too wide, and the result is naturally difficult to manage in a unified manner.
Although there are trains that run through various large cities, they also go around several surrounding cities.
And there are more cities that are not connected to train stations, such as this Zhengyuan City.
Not counting the subordinate county seats, villages and towns, there are nearly one million people living in this city.
With such a large population, China would have been connected to the railway long ago.
But here, because its area is too large, there are only more than 10 million people.
Or it is an important place where the train will be connected, and everything else will be abandoned.
In other words, it's not to give up but not to get it, after all, the station is not so easy to build.
Especially like Lantai City, Jinquan Prefecture, a place that is too poor, it is the least in the Tianming Empire train station.
One city is the size of Asia on Earth, but there are only three stations.
If you think about it, you can see how scarce it is, and the transportation can't be connected together, resulting in natural backwardness.
Backward places are naturally more likely to give birth to earth emperors, plus their right to mint coins, that is, the financial power is in hand.
However, although there are many coins minted, they do not have much effect when they are out of the country.
Just like this copper coin in Lantai City, if it is beyond the scope of Lantai City, no one may accept it.
But if the empire minted copper coins, it would be national and not authoritative.
Rather, compared to other states, the quality of the Empire's copper coins is the best.
In this way, the exchange price is naturally different, and even the copper coins exchanged within each state are completely different.
To put it simply, the Imperial Copper Coin is higher than the same coin, which everyone is rushing to want, and the exchange ratio is naturally the highest.
Secondly, the copper coins of the four major states, and again the copper coins of several major cities under it.
The worst thing is the currency of Lantai City, after all, Lantai City is too poor.
Poverty will become worthless, even if the copper coins of Lantai City are of the best quality in the surrounding municipal range, not many people use them.
However, within the scope of Lantai City, it can still be circulated and used, otherwise it will be embarrassing.
At the same time as the authority to mint coins, it is naturally not enough to use copper coins alone.
Especially in remote or poor places, where the silver coins minted by the empire could not be circulated.
Or rather, the Empire's silver coins can't be used here, after all, it's an aura-like item.
In such a poor place, there is almost no such thing as wanting to pay in such a currency.
Even if it is a large volume of goods, at most the currency of Jinquan Prefecture will be used.
In this case, each transaction is made using piles and piles of copper coins.
Naturally, it was extremely inconvenient, so silver coins were secretly minted in various states.
Of course, the currency minted with silver coins does not contain aura.
The difference in value between the two is also very far away, and such silver coins can only be circulated by ordinary people.
Who would be a cultivator to accept these mortal things as currency, so the empire also turned a blind eye.
As long as the states don't cross the line, or rather, make the same amount of silver as the Empire.
Then the empire will not stop it, on the contrary, it is very welcome to imitate it.
The Empire doesn't value ordinary silver coins, but the states do value it very much, and they have decentralized their authority to mint money.
Only copper coins can be minted, and silver coins must be minted in each state, otherwise it is a felony.
After all, for items without aura, it is easy to imitate, and the cost is far lower than the cost of manufacturing.
"Childe said with a smile, naturally the silver coin of Jinquanzhou." The middle-aged man said with an embarrassed smile.
After Ye Zi'an looked at it, he took out a silver coin and threw it into his hand, "With this, how many should you give me?" ”
The middle-aged man took the silver coin and felt its aura fluctuate, and his expression suddenly became extremely excited.
Holding the silver coins tightly, he said, "These goods are all for you, how about giving you another thousand silver coins?" ”
Seeing that Ye Zi'an didn't react, he bit it and said, "Fifteen hundred silver coins, this is the highest ratio." ”
"Well, let's go get the silver coins ready!" Ye Zi'an thought for a moment, then nodded in response.
The middle-aged man said a few words to the others and ran outside excitedly.
Ye Zi'an saw the flattering expressions of those people, got up and walked outside, "Come out with me!" Let's put things right here! ”
As he spoke, he took out the bag and took out the battle king's cart, and motioned for them to put their things down.
Xiao Xian'er entered the war king car sullenly, and the joy of shopping disappeared all at once.
"Go up! I'll pass things on to you. Seeing this, Ye Zi'an said to Zhan Xinyan.
There are a lot of things to buy, and they are also very fragmented, but fortunately, there is a lot of space inside the battle king car.
If there is such a large space as the shape, these items will not be able to hold.
Ignore the crowd around you, although there are more and more gatherings.
But I didn't worry about causing a bad sensation, because there was a range of ten meters around the King of War's car.
That is an invincible existence, even if a person is at the peak of Qi cultivation, he will not be able to cause harm to himself.
Not to mention, most of the onlookers around are intermediate in refining bodies, and no matter how many people like this, they can't pose the slightest threat to themselves.
Sent all the goods into the car, leaned on the side of the car, and quietly waited for the middle-aged man to arrive.
Before, being able to be pushed out by those businessmen proves that he is a good person.
Otherwise, he will not be pushed forward, but someone else, or gossip to speak first.
Of course, this was not enough, so the silver coins were thrown directly into his hands.
Look at how he reacts, although his reaction is a bit unexpected, but it's still under control.
And his bid is really high, generally speaking, the ratio of imperial silver coins to state silver coins is about one thousand.
Although I was in a hurry when I decided to come here, I was very prepared.
Otherwise, if you don't know anything about this, then you have to thank you for being sold.
And this middle-aged man can come out of the ratio of 1,005, to be honest, it's a bit amazing, I don't know why?
It's not a small accident, and now it's up to him to see if he can come back.
If he can come back, then test him again, and let him be his steward.
After all, walking outside, if there is no butler, some things will be very inconvenient.
Originally, I wanted to go to Ning'an County and recruit a housekeeper, but I can see the situation here.
Or extinguish this thought, as the most prosperous city around, the knowledge is so shallow.
So as Ning'an County, which is thousands of times more remote than here, what kind of situation is it?
If you really want to cultivate from scratch, not to mention the painstaking efforts, even if you cultivate it in the end, it will be difficult to get on the stage, so you can only look for it in the surroundings.
At least this place is close to Lantai City, there is a train presence, and the people here should have seen some of the world.
It's easier to cultivate, unlike Ning'an County, where you can find a housekeeper talent, and now you are skeptical.
If not, then you can only feel sorry for him, and you will only lose a silver coin.
"Let's let ... Let's let... Monday out of the box, rushed in front, and shouted loudly.
finally came to Ye Zi'an's side, and the neat clothes on his body were all squeezed messy.
"Childe, this is your silver coin, you can take a look." Respectfully hand the box to the front.
Ye Zi'an was not polite, took the box and opened it to check, the silver coins inside were about the same color.
Take one out and toss it in your hand a few times, and estimate the weight, the box is about fifteen hundred.
"What's the situation like in your house?" After knowing that there was no cheating, he asked him.
Zhou Zhou Chu was slightly flustered, and when he saw his expression, he immediately said: "In the next Monday, I still have my wife and seven-year-old son at home." ”
"Would you like to go to Ning'an County with me?" Ye Zi'an nodded slightly and asked again.
At the age of seven, we are at the age of testing whether we can practice qualifications.
It is the most important age stage, but it is a pity that I missed this stage.
Fortunately, only when there is a system can it be made up, otherwise, who knows if a new system of exercises can be created.
"Yes, 100 percent." Monday out did not hesitate, and nodded directly.
Although the person who needs to serve is about the same age as his son, judging from his formation.
A person whose identity is either rich or noble, as soon as he makes a move, he is an imperial silver coin, and it is very likely that he is a big man from Fenghai City.
No matter what the character needs in this way, the opportunity to catch it is a natural and desperate one.
I don't want my son to live here in the future, a place where you can see the rising sky at a glance.
Ye Zi'an frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Go and build the best carriage, and take the cost from here!" ”
"I'll give you another day to think about it, and I'll meet you tomorrow over there at Yueming Lake."
"Wait until noon, and we will go to Ning'an County together." As he spoke, he handed over the box.
Zhou Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "It's the tool I want to sit on, how can I make the young master break the bank." ”
