The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 91: This is a face-based world
There are not many things that can be taken away directly from Old Alvin's manor.
But fortunately, almost all the things that can be taken away are ordinary money.
Except for a few well-made sterling silver jewelry set with precious stones. There were also four bags of silver coins—fifty pieces each. and fifty one-pound notes.
There are no gold coins stored...but in a mezzanine, there are twelve gold bars hidden.
This Annan is actually quite easy to understand.
In today's Noah's Kingdom, gold coins are not actually a common currency in circulation, but banknotes called "gold pounds" are.
Because Sir Silver's predecessor, Pope Hui Yao III, once put forward a theory when studying economic laws - if people have two gold coins in their hands at the same time, one with a higher gold content and one with a lower gold content, then people People tend to spend the less valuable one, and collect the more valuable ones, or simply melt them down and make them into jewelry.
Similarly, the true value of gold coins and silver coins of the same value naturally fluctuates.
Gold and silver are materials needed to make spells in different fields. Gold powder and silver coins are consumables required by Mr. Yao and Sir Silver's priests respectively when using magic...
In the Kingdom of Noah, because of the belief in Sir Silver, people's demand for silver is obviously higher than gold, so people will tend to store more valuable silver coins and use more gold coins. . In the end, silver coins with smaller denominations will leave the circulation market.
This is naturally something that Sir Silver cannot tolerate.
So Huiyao III proposed a simple countermeasure:
If the purpose requires silver coins to become circulating currency, then they must do the opposite...that is, find a way to make ordinary people think that gold coins are more valuable than silver coins.
But after all, the church cannot affect the internal laws of the kingdom, and it cannot directly abolish gold coins... This is obviously not possible.
So in the end, they chose to launch a banknote business in recent years.
They would take a certain amount of gold and silver and exchange it for a large denomination paper currency.
One pound note is worth one gold pound. This kind of banknotes can be exchanged for silver coins of the same value at any Silver Lord's temple - this is very simple for the priests, and they don't have to worry about insufficient stocks or counterfeit banknotes.
When priests use divine magic, they will sacrifice silver coins as materials to Sir Silver. Priests in other places can get a certain amount of silver coins as long as they pray to Sir Yin for a reasonable reason and can convince Sir Yin.
——That is, reimbursement.
And because gold and silver coins can be exchanged for banknotes, banknotes can only be exchanged for silver coins... In the end, the number of gold coins circulating in the market will gradually decrease. People tend to use banknotes when making large purchases. Paper money is much lighter than gold and easier to carry.
The reason why Don Juan brought some gold coins at the beginning was to give to Yin Jue's priests and exchange them for equal amounts of silver coins - and the nobles' initiative to hand over the stored gold could greatly please Yin Jue.
And the priests of Yinjue are also very happy to recycle gold coins.
Because this will obviously lead to an increase in the number of silver coins on the market.
So for old Alvin, there is actually no difference between storing gold coins and storing gold bars. Anyway, you have to go to the church to change it in an emergency.
Sir Silver's purpose is simple and pure.
It is to allow silver coins to circulate in everyone's hands to the greatest extent. The more times, the better, the larger the amount, the better...but if it's silver coins.
Gold coins do not count.
The patterns on gold coins of various countries are different, and the gold content is also different...
But the silver content and shape of each silver coin are exactly the same - [Silver Coin Production] is the most basic silver magic, which is used to easily mix silver-containing ores and other materials in proportion. Refined in batches into silver coins that comply with regulations.
The result is that every silver coin has Sir Silver's face engraved on it.
It was a young man with a monocle, a bright and sunny smile, a slender face, and curly hair parted in the middle. He looked to be less than thirty years old.
Like the big boy next door.
Looks no different from ordinary people.
It would be better to say that all the righteous gods are like this...the righteous gods all look like ordinary people. Therefore, people will also be affectionate and call them with affectionate titles such as "Sir Silver", "Mysterious Lady" and "Grandma".
The false gods are different.
When a false **** appears in the human world, his incarnation must have at least one characteristic that is clearly not human.
The closer the false gods are to the real gods, the more human they look; and those who look obvious that they are not human must be false gods; and those who look particularly ugly and scary can be known to be false gods at a glance. Evil god.
In a sense, this is indeed a world where faces are judged...
Even among all the righteous gods, Yin Jue is the one most easily recognized by mortals.
Because for other righteous gods, you have to go to a parish-level church to see what they look like from paintings.
And Yinjue sees him every day.
Public people may not know what the king looks like, but they definitely know what Silver Jue looks like.
"...Is this why you asked me to carry these things?"
Salvatore had a bag of silver coins in one hand and a corpse on his back. He panted like a delivery boy and got into the carriage.
"Yes, I love Sir Silver."
Annan said confidently: "Of course I also love these little cuties engraved with silver knights."
As if nothing had happened, he carried two bags of gold coins in one hand and a heavy gold bar in the other. He followed Salvatore into the carriage and muttered in a low voice that could be heard by the senior: "And the corpse is the big head... ”
"Um...ah."
Salvatore placed the silver coins and the body in the carriage, exhaled suddenly, relaxed, and sweat was already forming on his face.
Then he glared at Annan angrily: "I can't let a kid like you fight against a corpse, can I?
"You can just take the gold bars... Is there any need to take these silver coins? They are so heavy... If you are short of money, just take a gold bar for some pocket money. If not, you can ask me to borrow it."
"I took so much money just so I wouldn't have to borrow money from you."
Annan looked serious: "I can return what I borrowed from you before."
As soon as he had nothing to do, he went to borrow money from his senior ~IndoMTL.com~ It was really cool...
But Kaizi Sa's treat was so generous, which always made Annan feel like he was being taken care of. The most terrible thing is that Salvatore does not seem to have the real feeling that "Annan has been asking him for money" - whenever Annan asks, he will give it.
This is what makes a prostitute feel guilty.
Salvatore snorted when he heard this: "It seems that you lent me some money before? How much was it?"
Don’t you remember the number of co-authors now?
Annan still doesn’t know how much money Salvatore has...
But Annan's self-esteem and morality still urged him to quickly repay Salvatore's money. However, from another aspect, Annan's repayment of Salvatore's money should actually be regarded as robbing someone else's money. Yes, and he felt at ease when robbing it.
Salvatore’s previous analysis was good and reasonable, and now it’s mine.
——You plan to murder me, and after revenge, I plan to compensate you with money; then I will not touch your grandson again, and will protect him until he inherits your property.
A fair deal.
Annan happily set a new task for himself.
"Speaking of which," Annan looked at Salvatore curiously, "who is our coachman?"
Salvatore seemed to have expected to dispose of the body, so he came in a carriage.
But Annan found that the man driving the car, although not very impressive, was obviously not an ordinary driver.
This is also normal.
How can an ordinary coachman have the courage to carry a corpse at night, let alone the fresh and warm corpse of a viscount...
"He comes to thank you."
Salvatore introduced to Annan.
