"That's right, I want what you're doing, Your Majesty, to be applicable to any coin. But if you want to take the power of the money in your hands, in addition to using violence, you can only find ways to attract people and establish yourself irreplaceable. In other words, in addition to the name of the goddess of gold coins, you have to come up with something that only you can do, but that mortals can't, in order to attract people to abandon the original coin and use the new money. Lin picked up the new silver coin and put it to his face emphasized.

After a little thought, Ke Yin asked, "Does this have anything to do with the metal-related godhead you gave me?" ”

"Yes." Lin picked out a few good, bad and ordinary coins from the cash box he brought and displayed them on the table, while saying, "The biggest problem with the coins circulating in the world now is that their values are not consistent. Therefore, in terms of use, good coins are the most popular, and ordinary coins are the most widely circulated, but although the areas where bad coins circulate are limited, they are the only medium of exchange in those limited areas. It's just that once you leave those places, in addition to being rejected for collection, the bad coins may even be discarded outright. ”

Money is discarded, which is something that is hard to imagine before someone crosses over. But in the maze, it's not big news. Speaking of which, this is also due to some preconceived notions. Some of the things that the traversal crowd takes for granted are not taken for granted in the Lost Land.

On the planet, no matter which country it is, the currency issued by the country has the purchasing power of the law in that country. As long as it is a circulating banknote or coin, the paying party cannot refuse to accept it, otherwise there is a risk of violating the law. Even the currency cannot be arbitrarily destroyed, otherwise it will also be against the law.

But mysteriously, coins have purchasing power because they have value in their own right. From the point of view of bartering, it can be understood that a certain amount of coins has the same value as the thing to be purchased, so it can be exchanged fairly. However, bad coins are no longer among them.

Imagine going to the vegetable market to buy eggs yourself. In the case of the same price of eggs, there are good eggs, but the boss does not give them, and has to take the rotten eggs for himself. didn't smash the rotten egg directly in the boss's face, which is already considered a good upbringing. As long as it is a normal person, of course, it will choose eggs that have not been broken.

The situation of bad money is equivalent to a stinky egg in the maze. No one will accept bad money if there is a choice. What kind of bad money drives out good money, there is no such thing as a maze of money.

Some reputable merchants, when they get their hands on bad money, will be very bold and throw it into a river, or in a furnace, or anywhere where a corpse can be destroyed, and then ask the buyer to buy the goods, please bring them the money that they can accept. This is the norm in the mazeland, and it is also what surprised Lin.

But is there no value in bad money? It also has a precious metal component, but it may be in a lower proportion. Either it was originally an ordinary coin or a good coin, but because of the wear and tear of long-term use, in addition to distorting and deforming, they also lost weight, so they were not accepted. But! There are still precious metals in these coins, which is not to say that gold has disappeared entirely.

Coin was once an adventurer who traveled through the Lost World, and as a logistics chief, he supported a legendary squad that went on a crusade against the remnants of the Dark Legion. Coins of that era were more chaotic and their value was more difficult to judge. There are even counterfeit coins in circulation, replacing gold with brass and silver with tin, and all kinds of counterfeit and shoddy coins emerge in endlessly.

So Coin understands very well how fortunate it is for users to have a coin whose value is widely recognized. At least when you want to buy a life-saving potion, you won't be turned away by the merchant because the coins on your body are not recognized, resulting in the person you want to save can't be saved. What could be more remorseful than letting a companion who might survive die in front of his eyes because he was powerless.

It's just that after he became a god, like most gods, he only represented a concept, passively responding to what the believer asked. But not everything can be done, and oneself, or any god, is still a long way from being omniscient. He didn't think about what to do, and it wasn't until the magician appeared in front of him that he knew he might be able to do a lot. Not to mention that these things are very beneficial to my current self, rather than simply giving for a little ideal, without asking for anything in return.

Now that he understood the role he should play, Ke Yin was not hypocritical, and asked directly: "Then what should I do?" This time, you won't throw another question and ask me to figure it out for myself. The words and eyes of the halfling goddess could not hide their worry. I don't feel like a god anymore, like a servant enslaved by this magician.

Lin snorted and laughed, "How could it be." This time it was simple, but only His Majesty could do it. ”

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, you have mastered a magic technique that can identify coins, and this is an extension. If you have the godhead I gave you earlier, I wonder if you can analyze what percentage of pure metal is in each coin, and how much weight it contains. ”

Ke Yin flipped his hand and conjured the godhead from Wuerkan. The embodiment of the godhead, which is like an amoeba and constantly changing its appearance, is quite well-behaved in the hands of a true god. It's round, like an egg.

Seeing this, Lin was surprised: "Your Majesty, you didn't absorb it." ”

"Except for those who have similar concepts and absorb them, they can directly expand their own divine power, and absorb unrelated gods, which is no less than poison to us. Eating it doesn't necessarily mean you'll die, and surviving it won't necessarily be beneficial, and it may just make you weaker. I have to identify what I need and what really helps me grow my strength, and that's what I can keep. I will give up the rest, let it return to its original form, and wait for the aspirant to collect and condense again. ”

"That's right. I thought it would be like a big pill or some small blue pill, swallowing it and directly increasing the power of a hundred years. It seems that I am too superficial. But what is the most primitive form of the Godhead? ”

"Oh, are you interested in knowing?" Ke Yin looked at someone with a smirk.

Lin shook his head directly and said, "Forget it, that kind of thing is not important." Let's leave it to your Majesty first. As he spoke, Lin took out a water cube. Ten centimeters in length, width and height, at four degrees Celsius, the density is the highest, this water cube is just 1,000 grams. Lin roughly explained the standard of weights and measures, and Co Yin began to analyze the metal content of coins in circulation today.

With benchmarks for comparison, and the help of the metal godhead, the work proceeded faster than someone could have imagined. What Lin does is to standardize the information that is eventually generated, what must be known, what can be disclosed, and what is the key point, without the slightest error.

After analyzing the composition of each coin, the next step is to compare it with the mother coin and find out how much the coin is equal to. Of course, Lin also taught the halfling goddess the relevant knowledge of the four operations that would be used in this. Anyway, the bookkeeping will be used in the future, and the gods related to money can't even know the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

However, after analyzing the composition of the coins in circulation and comparing the weight of the mother coins, Corne came up with a result that surprised him. He carefully rolled up the gold, silver, and bronze coins and asked, "Are you sure this is the result?" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you think is unreasonable?" Lin asked rhetorically.

"According to your requirements, only the weight ratio of pure gold, pure silver and pure copper is calculated, and ordinary coins are about 0.9 to 1.1 new coins, and good coins have an exchange ratio of 1.2 or even more than 1.3 coins. However, there is also an exchange rate of between 0.6 and 0.7 coins that are considered inferior. Is that a standard really right? Well, maybe it should be asked, is it feasible? ”

"Of course that's possible, but ordinary coins are the ones that are in circulation. Only by using the largest number of coins as a criterion can the wealth in the hands of many people be avoided to the greatest extent. Good coins are more valuable in the general perception, and they are also used as big money in many places, and I have even seen a good coin worth two ordinary coins, so it can be exchanged for more new money, and there will not be too many people who oppose it. And the source of good money is the five empires, which cannot be coerced by force. The only way to make them willingly give up their own coinage is to make them feel profitable. As for bad coins, no one is willing to accept them, and we give an affirmation of value, which will only make those who keep bad coins feel cheap. This is the option that I feel is the least resistant. ”

"Well, it does. Have you ever thought about a question, though? ”

"What's the problem?"

"Just the weight, what if someone brings something that isn't a coin?" Ke Yin asked.

Hearing such a question, Lin is eyes lit up and said, "Accept it, why don't you accept it?" Whether it is a vessel or a raw ore, as long as it contains gold, silver, or copper, it can be exchanged for new coins of the same weight according to the analyzed composition. The only concern is that if someone brings the artifacts of other gods, such as the emblem or the idol of the god. Is that to be collected or not? There is still a choice to receive. It's like if you don't have the divine power to stay on it, you will accept it, and if you have it, you won't accept it. ”

Ke Yin unceremoniously pointed to the coins on the table and said, "But have you ever thought that in addition to gold, silver, and copper, there are many other metals. What to do with this garbage? ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, these things are also money. You don't think you're drinking the northwest wind in your temple or church on earth, the clergy and monks in it, or the clerks of the future bank. In addition to charging a custodian fee when depositing money and a handling fee when transferring money, you wouldn't think that in the early stage, that fee could cope with the huge cost of setting up a bank in a completely obsessed area. I don't expect any donations from believers. Being able to take care of one's own profits and losses is a sound organizational structure. ”

"No wonder you suggested that I even collect the raw ore, it turned out to be such an idea."
