Chapter Ninety-Four: A Response from the Limestone Clan

A lecture on sin made almost everyone in Andrarui begin to understand the theory of the children of the abyss.

André not only gave an overview of the legislative and enforcement procedures to all audiences, but also proposed that imprisonment and fines should be the mainstay, and that the death penalty should be used as a last resort, so that those who committed crimes would understand how serious and irreparable their mistakes were, so as to restrain him from any inappropriate behavior in the days to come.

This approach is very much in line with the values of the elves and dwarves, who are mainly educated and guided by the young people who commit innocuous mistakes, and the human punishments are too bloody for them.

Among Andrei's audience, there was one man who was more interested in sin and lust itself than in the law.

Kassandra had long felt that His Highness's grasp of human nature had reached the realm of supernatural transcendence, and that amazing interrogation was only the tip of the iceberg of His Highness's tricks to play with people's hearts! Unfortunately, the chances for His Highness to use this method against the enemy were too few, and His Highness, who could become Andrari's friend, did not bother to use similar methods.

Perhaps as long as His Highness's wisdom of human nature leaks a little bit, it will be enough for those dwarves and elves who think they are civilized to sigh for a while!

Yes, the young snake demons have always had a bad sense of these alien neighbors, and they pushed the king of nations into the abyss with legions armed with steel. Now it seems that if His Highness could have been born under the command of the King of Nations, Galandia's coalition army would have been nothing more than a chicken and a dog in the face of His Highness's omnipotent wisdom!

Of course, Kassandra's careful thinking was nothing more than ordinary talk, and she couldn't be stupid enough to say these words. She felt that His Highness was only forced by the situation with the help of these alien races, and she might not be able to tell when His Highness André would lead Andrari's people to the apex of the King's Landing......

"Kassan, come and help clean up the prey!" Mora, the elder and leader of the snake demons, interrupted the young snake girl's reverie, for the sake of life, work must go on, and this is also for the prosperity of Andrarui. It's just that when will this kind of day of selling physical strength like an ordinary warrior come to an end?

......

Regardless of the impression of Andrari by the elders who dominate dwarven and elven society, life always has to go on. It is difficult to change the deep-rooted prejudices of these alien races for hundreds of years, and there is nothing that can be done about this Andre. He can only silently show these reasonable neighbors his knowledge and experience from another world, hoping that one day he will be able to completely change their views.

It takes a long time to see people's hearts!

Just as André was considering whether he could lower the standard of craftsmanship of ceramic molds and try to make real porcelain and colored glaze, the Limestone Clan's response to the monetary system finally responded.

"If we provide Andrarui with enough sterling silver, how much 'white amber' and 'green amber' can you guarantee to supply us each month?" asked Muradin, very seriously, to the children of the abyss.

As the youngest member of the Graystone Clan's House of Elders, Muradin Limestone was sent to Andrarui to solve the clan's much-needed problem of drinking supplies. Since the last time the ceramic mold was made, the demons of the Emerald River Valley have not made the slightest request to the limestone clan that settled at the northern foot of the Foggy Mountain!

This makes the limestone dwarves who have tasted the Andrari Amber series go crazy!!

Those unfilial young people ran over to help the demons build their homes, but no one had ever come back with such a good wine to share! Although the taste was still a little choking compared to the hundred flowers aging wine that the elves were proud of, it couldn't stand the short production cycle and high yield!

For a tribe with only a few hundred people in total, and even a small town is very reluctant, the dwarves think that it can already be called a fantasy!

So, this time, for the benefit of the whole clan, Muradin, brought dozens of good guys from the tribe, looking forward to taking out more inventory from these strange demons.

As for sterling silver, it was just an adjunct of the dwarves' digging of Mithril, and they might be valuable to humans, but the dwarves could only make some delicate crafts out of these beautiful white metals. Compared to the demonized Mithril, they are so soft that they can only be used to make household items that don't need to be very hard, but in fact the dwarves prefer steel and rock products that are durable and heavy in their hands. So much so that the silver processing process can only be regarded as a means of entertainment in the eyes of the master blacksmiths.

What if you could trade these ribs that take up space in the warehouse for something in a wonderful cup...... That was simply the unanimous wish of all the people of the Greystone Clan!

The above is the decision made by the elders of the Limestone Clan after careful discussion. So André found out that the dwarven ambassador had revealed his hole cards at the beginning. He was too layman to know what business was at all.

"Absolutely, but the price, the amount of transactions, and the currency specifications have to be discussed in detail. In the face of such an upright business partner, Andre couldn't bear to squeeze the profits.

......

First of all, André argues that the price cannot be based on Andrarui's current pricing. The price of Andrarui is the pricing of internal benefits for employees, and the copper "Appi" is only the internal currency of Andrarui. Once the silver of the Greystone Clan is added to the system, Andrari's prices and wages must rise appropriately, but the Greystone Clan, as a friend who has helped us greatly, can enjoy the same wholesale prices as the internal staff.

Muradin nodded and said no problem, you said that a clan doesn't earn a lot of silver, what else can I say?

Second, the size of the new coin must be exactly the same as Andrari's ambi. The initial plan was that one hundred "ampi" would be equivalent to a new silver coin, and that it would be incorporated into the gold coin system in the future. The approximate value of a new silver coin, i.e. the amount of silver in it should ideally be equal to about one percent of the total amount of gold in the same volume.

To ensure that the value of the new 100 new silver coins is equal to one gold coin.

I heard that the difference between the price of silver and gold on the mortal side is about twenty times, and considering the proportion of silver and gold...... Muradin said it was a bit difficult.

We can also discuss this slowly, and my plan is actually just to make the conversion of the monetary system more convenient after it is formed, and the specific decision must be made according to the actual situation.

Finally, the minting of new silver coins can be left to the Limestone Clan to take the lead. But the issuance of silver coins must be approved by Andrarui, and you can't mint new coins for more wine, which will cause inflation, fluctuations in the monetary system, and affect the new coins and Andrarui's credibility and image in the eyes of the people.

Inflation...... Muradin said that it was very tiring to negotiate with this clever son of the abyss!

Inflation is when there is too much money in the market and there is a relative lack of goods, which leads to an increase in prices and a decrease in the real purchasing power of money...... In short, if left unchecked, it will have an incalculably significant impact on the economic system being built.

Just like those human city lords who minted coins vigorously when they were short of money, resulting in a mess of the city-state's monetary system!? This time, Muradin said that he understood.

In the end, the consequences of inflation are largely borne by the ordinary people who hold the currency in their hands, so the amount of money issued must be carefully studied......

......

It wasn't until he finally reached a tentative agreement with Andrarui that Muradin felt that the burden on his brain in the past half day was simply heavier than the months combined. No wonder the lads always say that the leader of Andrari is superior in wisdom...... It's so tiring to keep up with the pace of smart people thinking about problems!

Muradin Limestone felt that it was a mistake to take on this errand. He just thought of the river valley, the origin of the "Amber Series", to mix some wine and drink to soothe the cravings in his stomach...... But until the moment before the meal, his limited brain was occupied by the strange and esoteric words of circulation rate and economic growth!

"Uncle, don't think too much. In a few moments, you will be able to enjoy Andrarui's charming cuisine!" Muhati looked at his frowning elder, kindly relieved.

"How can you not want to!?This is a matter of great importance to the livelihood of the tribe!" Muradin was a little unhappy, although he felt that the wiser elders of the clan were not necessarily more effective than himself in the face of the children of the abyss.

"Don't worry, His Highness Andre won't let our Greystone Clan suffer!"

Muradin glanced at his nephew with an unkind face, and his father, who was his brother, smiled but did not show any objection...... It's only been a long time, and I've already started to help outsiders talk. What good did that son of the abyss give you!?

...... Wine and food were brought to the table like cowardice, and the busy André did not give orders until then, and sat down with the ambassador of the Greystone Clan, along with the elven Grand Druid and several Ranger captains.

......

In the midst of the scrambling, Muhathir finally understood why these sent bunnies were reluctant to go back!

"Please fill me with some more cassava ......," Muradin, who was flushed with alcohol, handed the clay bowl in his hand to the cowardly demon who was in charge of the service behind him.

The life here is really too comfortable! In the future, no one will rob Lao Tzu of the work of this ambassador!! The respected dwarf elder secretly decided.
