There is definitely no such thing as economics these days, because although several students are IQ demons, it is still difficult to understand the concept of "rational expectations", and then it is impossible to imagine how to use stones that cannot be eaten or used as animal skins. Tomato Fiction Net☆ -''.-f'

Even the most well-behaved Jade Rabbit classmate, after listening to Xiaopai's theory about money, his eyes widened, "This...... Isn't this a robbery? If it messes up, Sister Little Frog will blame it. ”

In desperation, Xiaopai had no choice but to abandon Adam Smith's monetary theory, and instead painstakingly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of animal skins and stones.

In Lishan, if a person wants to buy a pheasant, he needs to exchange a certain amount of animal skins. The amount here depends on the characteristics of the hide: size and material.

There is no uniform standard for the size of the hide, but generally speaking, there is at least one square meter in size, and there are no sharp scissors made of metal in these years, so the tailoring of the hides is slowly cut by a stone knife made of soil, and it is naturally not called a shape. Tomato □ net ○ ---.- f'q'x-s''.com each piece of animal skin is round or square, depending on the cutting of the stone knife. There are also people who are too lazy to cut, and directly take a whole piece of animal skin to trade with people, this complete animal skin is of course more valuable, but it is also correspondingly easier to encounter the embarrassment of not being able to break the change.

The fact that hides are large and small naturally affects their value and adds a lot of valuation difficulties when trading.

Another problem is the material of the hides. Humans on the east shore of Erhai Lake are good at catching sea beasts, so in the Gonggong clan, the trade is often settled with fish scales and tortoise shells; when they arrive at the Zhurong territory on the west shore of Erhai Lake, because of the abundance of pangolins and swordfish, the things used for settlement have become pangolin skins and swordfish; and then to Lishan, the equivalents recognized by everyone have become anteater skins, gray wolf skins and thunder animal skins. △◇ △ Tomato □ ---. This kind of difference in the material of animal skins caused by regional differences and different products makes cross-regional trade almost impossible. The fierce beasts in the Mihe River Basin, the animal skin is tough, the sword does not enter, and the water and fire do not invade, so it is naturally much more valuable than the grizzly bear skin commonly used by the bear clan, but because there is no unified standard, the possibility of trading between Chang Zhen and Shen Li is almost zero.

Although almost everyone in the desolate world has the means to estimate the value of animal skins, limited by knowledge and the ambiguity of the entire price system, trade has always remained at the stage of bartering and cannot be further developed.

Even more intuitively, many people obviously need to buy a lot of things, with the productivity of the Nuwa clan, the clansmen also have enough idle wealth to buy, but every time they go out to buy some daily necessities, they can still only buy a little at a time. The reason is very helpless------ it is too inconvenient to carry animal skins. ◇Tomato○ ◇ '-'.-f'q'x's-Because a two-pound pheasant is worth a piece of animal skin, people have to carry bundles of animal skins on their backs and trek with difficulty whenever they want to buy more things.

In contrast, wouldn't it be much more convenient to use a uniform stone or something like that as a general equivalent?

Although Xiaopai is very painful, Yutu is still full of doubts, not everyone or demon has a forward-looking vision to see through the future, the future represents the unknown, and the creatures are often resistant and repulsive to the unknown. Only Da Ji thought, "What the gentleman said, maybe it will be done." She said.

That's smart people.

But this is a big deal after all, and Yutu called Sanmiao to discuss it again, and the latter simply ran to ask the little frog for advice, and it turned out that he came back in less than half a pillar of incense, and at the same time brought the original words of the little frog. Tomato - '-.-

"Since it is the gentleman's idea, there is this seat, let him just do it casually. ”

The eyes of the demons present suddenly became a little weird, and the latter remembered the pig demon's nonsense, and they also looked uncomfortable.

But in any case, the first unified currency operation in the world began.

To unify money, we first had to devise a new general equivalent. This equivalent must be easily obtained, so that it can be issued in large quantities and meet the needs of the first place; at the same time, it must have a certain threshold to prevent people from easily copying, resulting in a large number of counterfeit coins; and finally it must also meet the characteristics of durability and not easy to wear.

Such things are not easy to find, and the stones that Xiaopai said before are just casual examples, but in fact they obviously don't work. On the earth, even the cloth coins, knife coins, yuan coins and ant nose coins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are the products of the metal smelting process after reaching a certain level. This world is far from the point of metal smelting, and a very small number of demon clans have such natural abilities, but it is still a bit naïve to rely on this to maintain a huge money supply.

Xiaopai initially tried to carve a uniform pattern on the stone with demonic power, but soon found that the stone was too easy to wear and tear and too easy to imitate, so he had to give up. The bones of some special parts of the monster beast can meet the characteristics of the use of currency, but there is no way to meet the huge demand for currency.

Seven days after this incident was stuck, Sanmiao came to him with a piece of yellow mud.

"My mother heard about my husband's problem and asked me to show him this. ”

Although it is a bit too extravagant to use the innate spirit treasure as currency, it has to be said that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil perfectly solves the problem that made Xiaopai dilemma before.

In terms of supply, not to mention the current number of human populations measured in millions, even if it is a population base of one billion on the earth, the supply of endless nine-day soil is more than enough.

In terms of security, Xiaopai has never heard of the innate spirit treasure being imitated.

In terms of durability, the currency turned into polis is still made of clay and is actually easy to break, but it has a self-growing and repairing ability against the sky, which makes it reach full value in terms of durability.

The freshly baked currency is very similar to the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty in another world, but it is made of soil and can only be called mud money. The round square hole of the mud money, there are four small characters on each side of the square hole, which are connected to "Nuwa Tongbao". In addition, there is a kind of clay ingot, the bottom is engraved with the word "Lishan", which is worth the same thousand clay coins.

The currency is ready to stop, and the next step is pricing. There is no such thing as a price bureau in these years, Xiaopai simply took the pheasant as a benchmark item, stipulating that a pheasant is worth 5 mud coins, and other goods will be priced by the market first, and then observed for a period of time.

After everything is in place, it is time for the promotion of the currency. Xiao Pai asked Sanmiao to transfer all the stock furs in Nuwa City, and transported them to the largest trading market in the city with ** force, and several heavy animal skins were piled up like a hill, for the people of this era, it was like throwing a mountain of gold in the trading market, which immediately attracted the attention of the Nuwa people who came and went.
