Chapter 174: Pawn Shop, Gold Coin Market
Jonny wants to change this deformed situation, and this is the perfect time for him to make a move. The salaries paid to the servants, maids, and stewards alone were not enough to deal a fatal blow to the money market of the past.
The pawn shop is one of the killer tools he came up with. As long as someone wants to buy the goods in his hand, then he can only buy them using the consumption method approved by him. Membership cards and gold coins are the way he approves of consumption.
Those who don't want to be led by the nose are mostly rich and noble people with some property. But what Jonny had in his hands was tempting enough for them. Not only the ingredients, but also the weapons, which symbolize strength!
One of the most powerful situations for Jonny is that the royal family in this land can no longer afford the manpower to mint gold and silver coins. Many of the great aristocratic forces also focused on the top priority of food and survival.
The news of the exchange of old money for new money, and the fact that new money could be used in the prime area of the city center, spread to every corner of the town, from the mouths of the servants and maids, and from the customers who came and went to the shops.
The owner of the castle also took out some supermarket gold coins as a reward for those servants and maids who behaved better. After seeing the exquisite style with their own eyes and feeling the heavy weight of their hands, Thatch and Papac's small pawn shop finally began to get busy.
After all, time is too short, and no one will be assured that the so-called supermarket membership card can store gold coins. There are only a few wealthy people who don't take the loose change to heart, and only have such a membership card. But the amount of gold coins stored in it is very small, hundreds of them. Only the Young Prince and the Treasurer have a few bronze membership cards in their hands.
Jonny was not in a hurry, and the gold store, which was named a supermarket hypermarket, finally opened for business. Although the fruits and vegetables that have been rumored to be extraordinary, and strengthen the body for a long time, are not low, there are still many people who take out the supermarket gold coins that have been prepared for a long time and buy one to go back and taste it.
Things like shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, etc., have also become one of the best-selling products. In addition, fish balls, shrimp balls, and meatballs, as well as simple hot pot bases that were pondered out by Jonny and matched with existing things, were also bought back by people who had eaten them once.
This Srokhroda city, in just a few days, has already produced shocking changes. While Jonny was thinking about how to control the currency market, several people he knew and didn't know were sitting in the hall in the city lord's mansion. There was silence for a while, and several of them frowned, as if they were thinking about troubled matters.
"Your Highness, in your opinion, this Mr. Qiao is a trustworthy person?"
Next to the young prince sat a burly man with two mustaches on his lips. looked a little rough, but the occasional flash of essence in his eyes showed that this person was not a reckless man.
"Second Leader, we've been in contact with him a few times! Coupled with what he's doing in Srokhroda these days, he is indeed a trustworthy person! ”
Before Lancetros could speak, the Third Elder Holly Junk spoke first. After hearing his words, a person sitting next to him with a white face and luxurious clothes on his body said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Hehe, what you do is trustworthy? The three elders are really good at talking! If you really think about His Highness, then you should sacrifice the food and weapons in his hands! It's just a businessman chasing profits, and the business in the city has become a miasma, and how many people can't do business because of this, and they are forced to close their doors! He even dared to mint gold coins privately, his ambition was not small! ”
"What the Second Elder said makes some sense!"
Sitting a little further back, several equally richly dressed people held the wine glasses in their hands with elegant postures. Looking at the golden liquor swaying in the transparent glass, his eyes shone with a strange light. After taking a sip leisurely, they glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, and echoed the words of the second elder.
"It's too chaotic out there right now, don't think about the worst! At present, the benefits of this person to Srokhroda still outweigh the disadvantages! Let's wait for the Great Elder and the Great Leader to come back and meet him again! Your Highness, these days, I have worked hard for you! ”
The second leader looked at the two elders who were a little disagreeable with each other, frowned, and turned his head to the young prince on the side and said. He is a warrior, and he is not good at intrigue and tongue. Without the presence of the Great Leader and the Great Elder, the most he can do here is to defend against the harassing Zerg nearby.
"Second leader, is it okay to have a matter with the treasury?"
Libido looked at the second leader who stood up, and hurriedly stood up as well, with a little expectation in his eyes, and asked with some doubts.
"It's better for you to discuss this matter! It's nice to be able to exchange some weapons for those riches lying in there, but don't let people be too greedy! ”
The second leader kept walking towards the door, and said to the people behind him without looking back. At the doorway, several tall warriors, either stout or strong, tall and thin, with a sheathed sword in their hands, were waiting for him.
"Let's go, go out of town!" "Yes, Second Leader!"
After the people who stayed behind watched the second leader and his party leave, the atmosphere became silent again. After a long time, the young prince took a deep breath, looked at the second elders, and spoke.
"Half, as long as we have those swords and musket ammunition, it's enough for us to easily defeat those damn zergs!"
"Okay, but this time, I'll have to go too!"
The second elder made eye contact with the richly dressed people for a while, then got up and stroked the young prince's chest, and said in a firm tone. Previously, he had tried to reach Jonny, but only to be blocked by Thatch and Anzigo. Now that he is introduced by someone he is more familiar with, he knows that his opportunity has come.
"Okay, then tonight! I'm going to invite Mr. Qiao over and have dinner together! ”
Looking at the somewhat puzzled gaze cast by Lancetros, the Third Elder and Libido nodded slightly, and then spoke to the Second Elder.
……
"This sword, after all, is a little worse! But compared to the previous one, it's pretty good! ”
A few kilometers outside the city, the second leader led dozens of people, looking at them with swords in their hands, it almost didn't take much effort to cut down one cockroach man after another to the ground, and the smile in his eyes became a little thicker.
"Go and clean up, these loot can also be exchanged for gold coins, don't waste it!" "Yes, Second Leader!" Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
