Chapter 104: Gold Coin Circulation
After the visit, Surin led them to the stadium to watch the ball for a while, and the day's mission was over.
In the evening, the people sat in a hut, drinking wine and chatting.
Before he knew it, an hour had passed, and Su Lin felt that the time had come, and took the lead in speaking: "What do you think of the wheat and cane sugar in my warehouse?"
"It's very good, if you ship it outside, you should be able to make a lot of money. Jereve knew what he was trying to say, so he moved on.
"If I sell them to you at a low price, are you willing to take them?" said Su Lin with a serious face.
After hearing this, Jeff and Constance also glanced at each other, and then fell into deep thought, whether it is grain or cane sugar, it is a very priceless goods, once they sell, they will definitely make money, they don't know why Surin would sell it to themselves at a low price.
Seeing their puzzled looks, Su Lin first took a sip of wine, then pointed out the window and said, "You have also seen that Luo Ge is such a small person, so now money is scrap copper and rotten iron for me, and I can even give you this batch of goods." ”
Years of business experience made Jeff feel that this matter must not be so simple, and immediately asked, "You must have any conditions, right?"
Su Lin clapped his palms and said: "Of course, there is no wasted lunch in the world, and my request is very simple, I will exchange this batch of goods for 50,000 people." ”
"Fifty thousand? That's not a small number, even a slave wouldn't be able to find that many people for a while. Jeff said with a frown.
"I heard that Muga is quite chaotic now, there should be a lot of displaced people, when the time comes, you just need to bring them, whether they are men, women or children, I believe that you will definitely have a way to sell this batch of goods at a sky-high price." Surin continued to tempt the two of them.
The two of them were also very sure of this, but it was not a trivial matter, and they decided to discuss it before considering it.
Su Lin didn't refuse, and then the three of them went back to their rooms.
However, when Jeff returned to the room, he immediately consulted with Constan, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"We must do it, but we don't have our own ship, and we have to discuss it with the people of the fleet at that time, and we must share a part of the benefits with them. Jeff immediately analyzed.
"It's necessary, but we just need to sell this shipment for a high price and give them a little bit when the time comes. Constance also showed the face of a profiteer at this time.
After making up their minds, they also slept peacefully.
At the same time, Su Lin also hugged Felicia, and the two leaned against the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside in a daze.
Felicia also said in a deep voice after knowing that Su Lin and they had discussed, "Are you really going to give this batch of goods to them for nothing?"
Hearing this, Su Lin also shook his head, and said with a reluctant smile: "This is not a free gift, but an exchange, after all, we don't have enough manpower now, and the money is useless, and it is almost moldy when you put it there." ”
"You just make a decision, and I'll support you. ”
After that, the two also looked at each other and smiled, and then kissed together.
Early the next morning, Su Lin received an affirmative reply from the two of them, so it was time to sign the contract.
Jerev took out a contract and handed it to Surin, Surin took it and looked at it, and found that this contract was for the exclusive use of Hoto Country, and he also smiled and said, "I don't seem to belong to Hoto here, haha!"
Hearing this, Jerry knew that he was dissatisfied with the contract, and replied with a smile: "Blame me, blame me for not thinking it through, do you want to make a new one?"
At this time, Su Lin also took out a contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and at the same time said: "This contract is for the church to act as a guarantor, and if there is any problem, the church can arbitrate." ”
"That's fine. ”
Jeff and Constance also laughed when they heard this, knowing that the church is more effective than the king, but ordinary people can't get this kind of contract.
At this time, Melson walked out in a magician's robe, as a testimony to this contract.
Seeing this, the two of them didn't have any suspicions, and hurriedly signed their names and pressed their handprints, and put them away in duplicate.
After signing the contract, Su Lin also walked over and smiled at Jeff: "You see that the salt mine has not started now, and the workers don't even have a place to live, why don't you give them to me?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, you are worthy of being a king who can do business, it's not that you can't give it to you, you see that the ownership of the salt mine is in my name, is it also a contract?"
"Of course, absolutely no problem, write it right away, haha. ”
Both of them were quite satisfied with this result, but they both cursed in their hearts: What an old/little fox.
When Felicia saw that he actually asked Melson to pretend to be a church person, he also signed a forged contract, and said with a little worry: "Aren't you afraid that they will know that you have deceived them?"
Hearing this, Su Lin also shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not called deception, this is called a white lie, I just do this to ensure that there will be no accidents in the middle, and if there is a case, the loss is me, so many batches of goods, in case they don't come back directly, wouldn't it be a loss, so I have to reduce the unknown loss." ”
Felicia also agreed with his words, business is business, friendship is friendship, and now she hopes that everything will go smoothly and there will be no accidents.
Surin then had the grain and sugar from the warehouse move to the ship by the sea, leaving only some for his basic needs.
The people who participated in the planting before dug a cellar by themselves and stored a lot of grain, so they couldn't eat all their own grain, and the grain in the warehouse was a strategic reserve to prevent any accidents from happening.
And for those who did not have land, such as soldiers, and those who worked in the mill, their food and daily consumption were provided by Surin, and the town was able to run smoothly.
On this day, Surin gathered all the farmers together, and several people carried a large box behind him.
When the box was opened, there were glittering gold coins, and everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise, not knowing what it was for.
"These are the money from the sale of grain, and the state will only collect 10% of what was promised to you before, and the rest of the money is here. Su Lin looked at everyone and said, the currency of the town has not yet been circulated, but in order to develop in the future, it is necessary to establish its own monetary system.
As soon as the words fell, someone said: "Your Majesty, you can't spend gold coins in the town, and you can't buy anything, so it's better to give us food!"
"Yes, although the food in the cellar at home can no longer be placed, it is a big deal to expand the cellar a little more. ”
Hearing the discussion of the farmers below, Su Lin also stretched out his hand to make them stop, and then said: "Although the money is not of much use at this time, you will know their role in a short time, and then you will have to continue to grow food, believe me, you will all be rich in the near future, in fact, it is already now." ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and they didn't think too much about it.
Then Surin turned to Bill and said, "Now it's your turn, let's get started!"
At this time, Bill also stood up, holding a roll of parchment in his hand and began to read: "Hausen, sell five hundred catties of grain and two gold coins." ”
"Linna, one thousand two hundred pounds, five gold coins. ”
When they were dividing the money, Surin had already walked out, and there were more than 10,000 gold coins in the box, but each of the more than 1,000 farmers could only get a few gold coins, which would be a lot of wealth if they were elsewhere.
Later, Surin also announced in the town that for the other craftsmen, the food supply would be halved, and the rest would be replenished with gold coins.
For Surin's series of measures, the people in the town felt that it was useless to ask for money, and it was more practical to give food, but it was not unacceptable.
Jeff and Constance were watching the game on the pitch at this time, and they also liked the sport, although they didn't know much about it at first, but once they watched it for a long time, they couldn't extricate themselves.
The two of them were also aware of Surin's measure, and were now discussing it.
"Old friend, what do you think of Surin doing this?" Constance asked casually, looking at Jereve.
"It's a clever move, although there are not many people in the town now, and there is no movement of people, the role of money is not big, but in the future, there will be more people, if there is no currency in circulation in the town, you and I are both merchants, you know what it means!" Jeff said as he noticed the changes on the court.
Constance also kept nodding at this time: "If the currency is not in circulation, it will be troublesome at that time, who will come here to do business, and you can't buy anything with money." ”
"And money also has a function, that is, it can induce possessiveness in people's hearts, when you have a gold coin, you want ten, hundred"
In the evening, Titney ran up again, walked up to him and said, "I have something good for you, do you want to see it?"
Su Lin looked at him and put his hand behind him, it should be hiding something, and he replied directly: "What good things can you have?"
Hearing this, Titney was not happy, and directly took out the thing hidden behind his hand and put it on the table.
Then Su Lin turned his head to look over and found that it was a piece of crystal ore, he just sighed, and then continued to write on the parchment, in his eyes this ore was just an ornament, not of much use.
Seeing that he actually ignored himself, and was ready to say that he ignored this ore, Titney also picked up the ore and turned around to leave, and at the same time left a sentence: "It seems that you really don't know the goods, and you can't even recognize the magic stone." ”
"What, this is the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone for making the Cross Badge?"
