Chapter 351: Drachma
"Do you know her well?" She asked Shang Luo.
"Well, we're very close."
His fate with Karin is quite amazing. If it weren't for Karin's crucifixion, the mayor of Lake Nemi would have missed out on the whole thing, and he would have missed the final rewardβand the fate of contact with the highest levels of Rome, and other subsequent collaborations would have been difficult to match.
Although it is not impossible to contact through other means, it is more interesting and natural to meet naturally because of fate.
"Fate? Well, she's not human. β
"How do you know?"
"Huh?" Gao Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "It's really not, is it a female ghost?" β
Shang Luo hurriedly glanced up, Karin was indeed not there: "It's okay, she didn't hear that it wasn't a female ghost, it was an elf." β
"Sure enough." Gao Qingyu was still looking in the direction Karin left, "I heard the sound just now." She doesn't make sounds with her throat, she vibrates the space. She didn't walk into the corridor normally just now, and when she turned around, she disappeared. β
"Elves don't seem to have a fixed form in the first place, so that's how it is. They will still be bound by the sojourn body when they are on earth, and here it is completely up to custom. β
"Huh?" Gao Shiyu wondered, "Isn't that still a female ghost?" β
A popping chestnut fell from the sky, and it was his sister who did it.
"Can you little blind man stop talking! You don't speak, no one treats you like a dumb person! Why are you so excited! β
"Because I can see it! You can also take off your headphones, aren't you excited? β
"No matter how excited I am, I won't look around like you. Don't think you can look around with your glass beads open without a pupil! Even if she was scolding her, Gao Qingyu suppressed her voice. She was very sensitive to sound, and kept it at the volume it should have in the library.
"Ahh Before Gao Shiyu was beaten, Shang Luo dragged him to the side, "Do you want to eat ice cream?" β
"Eat! I've heard that ice cream comes in many shapes, right? I've eaten it, but I've never seen it, and it's hard to feel the shape when I lick it with my mouth. Sometimes I even want to drop a torch on top of the ice cream to see the shape, but in the end I stop. β
"Those two tourists, please go here."
As a local who has been here twice, Shang Luo is already very familiar with the situation here-
"How many ???"
He looked at the price list and froze.
Ice cream rolls, which are now sold for 100000000000. There are ten zeros after the 1.
Gao Qingyu, who came for the first time, was also stunned for a moment: "I said, Shang Luo, is it a dark coin used here?" β
Shang Luo touched his pocket.
After a few uses, he only had 30 drachmas left on him. He thought that if he had 10 yuan per person, he would run out this time.
But now that's not enough to even buy an ice cream scrap.
"Ahh
He had felt something was wrong from the moment he had just come inβor rather, order had been restored here. When I first arrived, there was good ice cream on Alexandria Night, as well as students. The second time I came, there was an army here, and there were divine machines entrenched in the entire sky. The third time I came, this time, it was the same as the first time.
There are a lot more people on the street, and those who go to work and open shops open shops are just like an ordinary city. If it's not a lighthouse that lights it all up, then there's really nothing wrong with it.
I just didn't expect that. The price has risen so much all at once.
"Yo. There you are? A familiar voice appeared on the side.
It's Lynn. Today is a weekday, she did not go home, but had a business trip outside. Now she's here on her business trip today.
"Uh-huh???" Gao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, "Why is it exactly the same?" β
"This is yes. It's Karin's sister. Well, it's her sister. Ah, Sister Lin, these two are my friends, and I brought them to participate in the closed beta. β
"You want ice cream? Well, scared by the price, right? β
Shang Luo nodded: "How did it become like this?" β
"Don't blame that Victoria. She demanded that no one should trade with a drachma silver coin, and that a banknote with the name 'drachma' be printed. β
"Is that okay?"
"Well, that's fine. Because the emperors represented Rome and were the orthodox government of the entire Greek world, they were fully qualified to decide what drachmas were. But I don't know what they're doing, and they're going crazy to issue huge bills. As a result, prices skyrocketed, and it became what it is now."
"Ahh She's pretty good. So how do you buy it now? β
"That price is just look, we're using this now." Lynn opened her purse and pulled out one.
Yongle Tongbao.
"Yongle Tongbao?"
"Yes, now everyone spontaneously switches to these Aurora copper coins. Because the publisher is on the Aurora side, it has been quite stable in a long history, so I am not afraid of the emperor messing around. But it has to be Yongle Tongbao, nothing else. Now one ice cream costs a penny, and all three are the same price. Aren't you Aurora? Got it, right? β
"Ah, but the copper plate we use now."
He pulled out his wallet. There is indeed a penny "copper plate" in it, and there is also a square hole in the middle, but the size is completely different from Yongle Tongbao. And it's not copper, it's nickel.
Such small nickel coins are used in the Kinai coin, and vending machines only accept this size. If you really take out Yongle Tongbaolai, you won't be able to stuff it at all.
However. Yongle Tongbao is indeed still minting. The Yongle Tongbao in Lin's hand is clearly printed with "Shaoping First Year" casting, which was just baked a few years ago.
"I see." Gao Qingyu probably guessed, "Because of inflation, you switched to Yongle Tongbao, right?" That's really reasonable. β
"By the way, why haven't I seen Yongle Tongbao flow through in Jinnei?" Shang Luo asked. He remembered that he had indeed seen it, but he couldn't see it when he arrived in Kinai.
"Because Yongle Tongbao has not been circulating in the Yongle Year since the Yongle Year, it is a foreign trade coin used in tributary trade. Although the entire currency system has been reformed, Yongle Tongbao has been minted and used as the basic circulation certificate for tributary trade. However, most of them are just used for bookkeeping, and these Yongle Tongbao are used as ballast stones for ballast and ritual exchange of some things. Think about it."
She looked at the few that had just been minted: "There are indeed quite a few here in Rome, we have sent a lot of Yongle Tongbao through direct and indirect channels, and its annual minting is indeed quite stable. Speaking of this Roman emperor, it's a bit interesting, her level of printing treasure money is a bit of a Ming style. It's just that she has to work harder, she should turn around and not recognize the treasure money, and she is not allowed to use the treasure money to pay taxes, which is considered a learning home. β
