To Four Thousand Years Later

v2 Chapter 113: Currency and Intelligence

"Sure enough, isn't the alternative currency still unavailable?"

"Well. Yes. Baimon said calmly: "Because the birth of counterfeit money cannot be prevented. Sooner or later, merchants will realize that the cost of imitating the substitute currency market is much lower than that of imitating metal currency. Even if the anti-theft mark is used... as long as it is fixed, it will definitely be cracked. No one knows this better than I do.

Ah...yes...Jesus nodded knowingly: "Besides, the cost of parchment is also a problem. If that's the case, it's better to use metal currency. But the standard is the minimum standard.

He just realized that Baimon might be the biggest pirate...

Because Baimon's domain is records. The graffiti on the face is also one of them. As long as the knowledge is recorded with a real medium, it will be learned by Baimon.

Therefore, even if he is a demon **** who has mastered all wisdom in the world, there is no problem. The wisdom that Solomon learned is the transcendental wisdom that surpassed this era. It was also because of this that he was able to discuss with Baimeng, and use Baimeng's magic to quickly learn the knowledge that he had not yet mastered, but had already been invented.

Now that Baimon has confirmed that the use of banknotes as a substitute currency cannot be established, it means that someone has learned and recorded the technology of pirated paper market.

Although it is a pity that it is impossible to promote a more useful substitute currency for a period of time, so as to quickly collect a large amount of gold and silver wealth from the people, the goal cannot be achieved.

But at least, at least the basic purpose of **** must be achieved.

The reason why he wants to establish a currency that is common in the three countries is actually to bring the countries together more closely. Replace the political system with the economic system, and use currency exchange to drive cultural and artistic exchanges. It is also possible to quickly convert wealth domestically - which means that it is much easier for one country to annex two other countries.

In other words, the purpose of **** is first to create a unified pan-ethnic tradition. Whether a nation has ever been unified in history directly determines the difficulty of future unification.

"If it's just metal currency, it should be fine.

Baimon nodded: "So, do we want to use gold and silver with higher purity to create better currency?"

"No, you can't. On the contrary—Jesus rejected Baimon's point of view instead: "On this basis. Then stipulate the exchange rate between the general currency market and the independent currencies of various countries.

Why? "

Baimon looked at **** with some confusion.

But **** just shook his head and said casually: "This is very simple. Suppose that one standard gold coin in Rome can be exchanged for twenty Egyptian silver coins. Then I issue a gold coin with a lower gold content than the Roman gold coin, and he will Exchange twenty Egyptian silver coins, but the gold content is only one-half." Then, people will definitely melt the more valuable gold coins in their hands, that is, those Roman gold coins with higher purity. Then sell these gold nuggets in some places I stipulate, and exchange them for the inferior gold coins I gave. And the ratio of gold to gold bullion will definitely not be 2:1 but lower...but at least it is greater than 1:1. **** said slowly: "In other words, one unit of Roman gold coins can be exchanged for more than one unit of common gold coins." And when people took the common currency, they would exchange it for silver coins and then for Roman gold coins, or even directly exchange it for Roman gold coins, and repeat the process. Then people will soon wake up and no longer want to use more valuable Roman gold coins. Instead, melt it down or store it away. Then gradually Roman gold coins will disappear from the market. All to use my new gold and silver coins—I see. Baimon thought for a while, and then blurted out: "Just like the Romans in the past, because the shapes of gold coins and silver coins were not regular, they liked to secretly cut off a bit of gold and silver coins and keep them. Then during the transaction, they must will gradually realize that there are some gold coins that are extremely light and not worth much. So they will keep the full value for themselves and spend the insufficient value-and whether it is full value or insufficient value, it is a "yes" . **** nodded.

Baimon frowned again, and asked: So, although the buyer is definitely willing to use inferior currency as normal currency. But the seller must not want it? For the same 1 gold coin, if two buyers offer 1 Roman gold coin and 1 universal gold coin respectively, the seller must be more willing to accept the person who bids for the horse gold coin? "

"There is no way.

Jesus said honestly: "It can even be said that this is inevitable. But it is not without a solution - because although sellers are more willing to accept 1 Roman gold coin than 1 universal currency. But compared with 2 universal gold. He is sure I still prefer universal gold coins, because I have taxed in the conversion ratio. As a result, his conversion ratio is smaller than the gold content ratio, so even 1 unit of Roman gold coins is not as good as 2 units of universal gold coins.

"Then. Gabi will no longer issue independent gold coins in the future, and issue excessively common gold market policies. The independent currencies of various countries will gradually be washed out of the market. At the same time, all those who mint counterfeit coins will be sentenced to death without exception, and all gold coins will be confiscated. Property, family members were reduced to slavery or exiled into the army.

...Is that so. Baimeng nodded knowingly, and frowned slightly: "But I still feel that this is a bit unstable. If this is the case, maybe the price of the entire market will inflate twice?"

"That will naturally cause a certain degree of crisis. It will even bury hidden dangers in the future society...I know this." **** nodded, and it would not be too difficult for Baimon's sensitivity. In fact, the purchasing power of the common currency is also related to the strength of the Triple Alliance and the export of materials. "

"And what I need is to form a cultural connection among the three kingdoms of Tire, Egypt and Rome. Instead, I don't need them to survive for thousands of generations. If they can be used as an unstable disaster, it is a good possibility...Of course, I don't think they are When I live to experience the economic crisis." **** said in a deep voice: "In order to prevent someone from minting counterfeit money. I also need to set up two intelligence and assassination agencies, one of which is for the country, managed by Harvey and Apollo... called the Brotherhood. The one abroad will be transformed by the current Saint Eldest Sons Guild, which will continue to be managed by Asmodeus and Phoenix.

two? "

Baimon raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly nodded his head: "I understand...you really possess the divine wisdom beyond the age.

…No, none of this is my wisdom, nor is it divine. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants - even this sentence. **** sighed and said in a low voice.

The higher his status, the more humble he is. The more you are praised, the more low-key you are. Because he felt more and more the wisdom of the great men of the past... and his own insignificance.

But it is precisely because of this insignificance that he feels all the time that he always wants to climb to a higher place and march forward.
