The first thousand and nine chapters: a foreign currency

"Here, it's probably like this." The lazy Ye Jiaoyang suddenly reached into his jacket pocket, took two outs, and finally took out a crumpled banknote and threw it towards Tang Guo casually.

"What is it?" Tang Guo frowned, raised his hand to take it, and took the paper money that had been crumpled into a ball in his hand. After spreading it out, he said with a strange expression, "A foreign currency-Ye Jiaoyang, you What do you mean!"

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Ye Jiaoyang still looked lazy, raised his finger to the foreign currency banknote she was holding, "Look at the back."

"What's wrong with the back?" Tang Guo suspiciously turned the banknote in his hand. Then, on the crumpled banknote, he saw a three-dimensional pyramid pattern, and on the pyramid, there was a circle around it. Eyes surrounded by lines that represent the meaning of light.

"No!" Tang Guo couldn't help but exclaimed, "That eye?! The all-seeing eye?! It was actually printed on the foreign currency banknotes-this This!"

"You don't need to be so surprised." Ye Jiaoyang stretched lazily, and he barely sat upright. "You don't need to look at the high-level people in that meeting. Call this The “eye of God” printed on US bills is not an easy task, and it is worth the fuss about it? Besides, it’s just a US dollar bill of a foreign currency denomination, not a hundred foreign currency.”

"It is precisely because it is a US dollar bill in a foreign currency that it is worth being surprised and terrible. If it is changed to 100 foreign currency, it will not be a big deal." Bai Yifan suddenly cut off the conversation at this time. At that time, it’s not that the higher the denomination of the banknote, the greater the meaning of the pattern printed on it. Don’t forget what the metaphor of the emblem of that society, the so-called “omnisight eye”, is. "

Ye Jiaoyang was taken aback when he heard it, and he blurted out subconsciously: "On behalf of God, monitor all mankind, what's the matter — Fuck! It turned out to be like this! That's why he chose the face value of one foreign currency instead of one hundred foreign currencies!"

"I see." Bai Yifan shrugged and said faintly, "If it weren't for their ambitions, the five of us have been stunned since they found them up to now, even the same originated from " The Luo Sect of the Bible has always been in a state of being an enemy but not an enemy to the Illuminati, which has the same origin as them. Otherwise, if they are allowed to join forces, even the five of us will not be positive. Qualifications to contend."

"Is there such a big difference between one foreign currency and one hundred foreign currencies?" Tang Guo looked at the two men suspiciously, "For us, one foreign currency seems to be more rare than one hundred foreign currencies. It’s really rare that Ye Jiaoyang can find a foreign currency note on your body."

"I got the change, can't it?" Ye Jiaoyang rolled his eyes to her, "Besides, please don't use your current eyes to see the difference between this foreign currency and one hundred foreign currency. The Illuminati is not in recent years. The newly established new leader has a longer history than most countries in Xizhou."

"This'all-knowing and all-seeing eye' was printed on a foreign currency banknote. It was a matter of the end of the eighteenth century." Bai Yifan took the conversation again, and patiently explained to Tang Guo——

At that time, the foreign currency adopted the gold and silver standard system. According to the coinage bill promulgated that year, a foreign currency was equivalent to 371.25 grains (24.057 grams) of pure silver or 24.75 grains (1.6038) gram of pure gold, which was approximately equivalent to a Franciscan silver round. .

If the current market price is used, the value of a foreign currency at that time is almost equal to the purchasing power of nearly 70 foreign currencies.

By this inference, one hundred foreign currencies at that time is equivalent to the purchasing power of almost seven thousand foreign currencies now.

Therefore, at the time, for the general public, basically everyone can hold a few foreign currency banknotes in their pockets, but not everyone can take out a one hundred foreign currency banknotes at any time. .

Of course, this was created by the gold and silver backup standard of foreign currencies at that time. After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, all currencies in the world that adopted the gold and silver backup standard system depreciated. Naturally, the purchasing power of one foreign currency and one hundred foreign currencies would not be comparable to the previous ones. Up.

"These are all things to follow. The key is that under the historical environment at that time, only one foreign currency was the most widely existing and circulating currency." Bai Yifan said, "Moreover, a number can also be said to be a hundred. The base of numbers, in mathematics, this is the smallest natural number, so choosing a foreign currency as the object to be printed on the "omnisight and omnisight eye" is the most in line with their ambitions and doctrines. After all, this supremacy has been established. The original purpose was to'represent God and monitor all mankind' and establish a new order of the times."

Ye Jiaoyang interrupted at this time: "Look at the foreign currency in your hand, printed with the pyramid and the pattern on the side of the'God's Eye'. Look carefully, if you have any special findings—"

"Special discovery?" Tang Guo suspiciously smoothed the crumpled foreign currency banknote in his hand, and his eyes fell on the pattern on the left half of the banknote.

The pattern is a three-dimensional unfinished pyramid. The pyramid has a total of 13 layers completed, but it lacks a top.And in the place that should be the top of the pyramid, there is a radiant “eye” suspended in the bible, which is called the “all-seeing and all-seeing eye” or the “eye of God”. The "Dharma Eye" in the tower record.

Above the eyes, on the left and right are two Latin words "ANNUIT" and "COEPTIS", which are connected and translated into Kyushu Mandarin, which means "God leads our cause".

Below the pyramid are the Latin words "NOVUS", "ORDO", and "SECLORUM". These three words are connected and translated into Kyushu Mandarin to mean "New Order of the Times".

At the bottom of the pyramid is written "MDCCLXXVI", which is the Roman numeral "1776", that is, the year that America became independent, in which the Declaration of Independence of America was signed.

Tang Guozai looked carefully, focusing on the unfinished pyramid and the "all-seeing and all-seeing eye" suspended above, intuitively and the explanations he heard before, She felt that the secret must be hidden here.
