Gold coin is justice

Airo thought to himself, but just when his food was on the table, hot and ready to eat.Coco, who hesitated for a long time, finally spoke courageously and said, "Chairman, I want to tell you...about the Merlin Dark Whisperer. Well... Actually, I want to tell you even more. Said that the organization behind him is the matter of the magic organization of the True Eye."

Bled’s large potato stewed chunks of noodles were served with mushroom soup. He carefully put Parfay off his shoulders, took a bite of the soup with a spoon and placed it in front of Parfay, and waited for Parfay to eat with relish After that, he ate a lot.

Ai Luo put down his knife and fork and looked at Coco seriously: "If you want to say it, I can listen."

Coco nodded, and after her small salad was served, the little girl slowly said what she had been afraid of.

"In fact, as long as you go to the big city to inquire, you should be able to know these things. After all, even a humble magician like me can know their affairs, so they don't want to hide it."

"Eye of Reality, although on the surface it is a pure wizarding guild organization. But in fact what they did is not just a guild organization."

"Using their own powerful magic power, their guild has a strong fighting power in many cases. However, with the powerful power, it is not a good thing for others..."

A powerful force naturally requires a powerful constraint.The more powerful the force is, the more it needs to be restrained, otherwise this force will run away.

Airo can basically guess something from these short sentences, but it's not specific enough.

Brad on the side lifted his head from the potato cubes and wiped his mouth: "Don't do good things? If so many people know that this guild is not doing good things, will the empire leave it alone?"

Coco shook his head: "I won't care, because no one dares to care. Although I don't know who it is, I heard that this magic guild has the high-level care of the empire. So they are more blatant, no one dares to care about it. ."

"Because there is no one to control, the members of the True Eyes Guild have almost arrived to occupy the houses of the peasants at will, assassin those who oppose them, and even arrest people to do some magic experiments. They have become grandiose. They..."

Coco suddenly stopped talking about this, but after a second she continued to say--

"I heard that they would arrest some newly born children and use the soul and blood of the children to refine something called'real alchemy'. This is also the case in certain areas of our empire where many children are lost. , But it has never been cracked."

Airo: "True alchemy? How is this different from ordinary alchemy?"

Coco lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether he really wanted to say everything he knew in his head.After a while, the little girl finally took a deep breath and said slowly—

"True alchemy...I am not very clear about it, but I heard...sometimes I heard rumors that it seems to be used to refine real gold. The refined gold is the same as real gold in terms of color and quality. It's exactly the same, it can be used instead of real gold."

Hearing this, Ai Luo's face suddenly changed.He lowered his head and thought, but Brad next to him looked very relaxed, and said with a smile: "I was scared to death. I thought this magic guild was going to refine something about powerful demons, immortality, resurrection, and sage stone. What about big magic like that. Alchemy? It doesn't sound great."

"If real gold can be refined, it would be far more terrifying than refining a sage stone."

Ai Luo had no thoughts to continue eating, he tapped the table lightly, and said while thinking--

"Some of my magic apprentice classmates in Lao Tengshu once said that the highest level of an alchemist's life is probably to refine the sage's stone. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, the so-called sage's stone is absolutely terrible. Can't compare to real gold."

"If the people of these magic guilds can really create precious metals that are real, or are infinitely close to gold, then it means that the world’s economy will instantly collapse, and the wars that will occur due to this will be countless, starving to death. There are countless people who died in battle. The living and cultural level of the entire continent may instantly regress to the oldest chaotic era. In contrast, the disputes that the Sage’s Stone can bring are really too pediatric. "

Coco didn't understand: "Brother President, I don't understand this. I have heard of the sage's stone. It is said that once it is obtained, it can gain the power to subvert the entire world. It is an existence that can turn people into gods. But in the mouth of the president's brother... is this thing even worse than the gold coins in our hands?"

Ai Luo didn't mind asking questions, he was very happy that his members kept asking questions.As long as he can answer, he will try his best to answer it, which will help his family members to grow quickly.

"Coco, Brad, Buffy. You should know that although there are many countries in the world, the currencies of each country are different, and the exchange rate between each currency is also different. Even some countries They don’t recognize each other’s currency."

"For example, I have a thousand gold coins in our Blue Bay Empire. Then I took this thousand gold coins to our next door to the Orion empire, because our country is now at war with the Orion. So they don’t recognize my wealth. Therefore, even if I arrived in their country with these thousand gold coins, I would still be a pauper. Unless I dissolve these thousand gold coins and deposit the gold."

"But in this way, my wealth will be greatly reduced. Because the value of a gold coin is because our Blue Bay Empire gives it such value. Therefore, the gold coin itself does not need to be completely pure. Made of gold. Our empire’s daily currency contains about 15% to 20% gold, and other components are supplemented by metals such as iron, copper, and silver."

"But there is one thing in this world that can be used anywhere in this world. That is gold."

"If I took pure gold from our Blue Bay Empire to the Hunter Empire, then one kilogram of gold can be bought in our Blue Bay Empire, and I can also buy the equivalent of one kilogram of gold when I reach the Hunter Empire. s things."

"Gold is the world's most basic currency. All the exchange rates of all countries are based on gold, and gold is the real hard currency in this world. Even if it reaches the country of dwarves, the country of elves, even if it is encountered In the legendary dragon, if you show the gold, it means that you are willing to buy their things, and the other party will recognize the value of this piece of gold."

After explaining the introductory knowledge, Ai Luo looked at Coco who seemed to understand but he continued to say——

"So, if this magic guild really develops how to make gold, it will immediately depreciate the value of gold because of its scarcity and stable properties enough to serve as the world currency. After a large amount of gold flows into a country’s market, it will directly drive the country. The value of gold fell."

"The first consequence is that a large number of assets scattered in the private sector will begin to purchase a large amount of gold for storage. The problem is that a country’s economy at a certain stage is fixed. Once a large amount of money is used to buy gold, other The funds used to invest in commerce, agriculture, construction, and social security will rapidly decrease. The worst part is that there are many problems that are not easy to find in a short time. But once the problems start to erupt, they will bring huge Social turmoil."

“Decreased investment in business will bring about a lot of unemployment, reduced investment in agriculture will lead to insufficient food supply, and reduction in social security will lead to social unrest that cannot be comforted in time. The simplest example, if you can buy a lot of gold to make money, you are willing When the soldiers beg for food, the number of people will naturally decrease, and the decrease of soldiers will reduce the stability of society, so that when it is hostile to other countries, it will lead to insufficient defense."

"Of course, this is only based on a country's internal problems. If this country has too much gold and the price depreciates, then the economies of other countries will naturally find ways to reach out and purchase large amounts of gold, and then transport the gold. Go back to your own country for reselling and earn a lot of price difference."

"The subsequent result is that the entire world of gold began to flood in large quantities, and after reaching a certain stage, gold was finally completely abandoned as the world's universal currency."

"Once gold loses its status as a universal currency in the world, the chaos of international financial exchange rates will follow. Because before that, every country confirmed the exchange rate based on the value of one kilogram of gold in its own country, and then Trade between countries with other countries. After losing gold, each country can no longer know how much its own money is equal to the currency of other countries. Therefore, the exchange of transactions between countries is completely stopped. "

"There are also many contradictions within the country, because what do we civilians need to know the exact value of a gold coin? For example, a gold coin can buy 1 kilogram of wheat. But if our wheat harvest this year, I will The wheat that a gold coin can buy is equivalent to only a small part of the big harvest. Wouldn’t I be at a loss? If our wheat harvest fails this year, and people in many places are starving, isn’t it the wheat that I can exchange for a gold coin? Make a lot of money?"

"Since the end of the era of chaos, we have finally determined that gold, an immutable and extremely stable metal, as a universal currency after more than a thousand years. At present, we have not found the next extremely stable and will not deteriorate, and will be affected by everyone. The favorite material is used as the standard. Once we lose gold as the standard, our human economic activities will immediately fall back to before the Chaos Age."

"According to this situation, it is far more terrifying to be able to refining real gold than to refining a sage’s stone. The sage’s stone can only give a person a strong power at most, and This powerful person will have reason and appeal. This person can be restrained by himself or stop acting for some other reasons. What's more, he can take his sage stone. In short, there are counts. There are endless ways. But if the financial system is out of control, then even if there is a god in the world, then this god may not be able to save our human fall."

"Coco, Brad, Buffy, the three of you must remember that the most powerful in this world is never a powerful magic. Although we often say that the truth is within the range of the fist's attack. Live, "The amount of money ultimately determines the range of the fist's attack.""
