Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 352 Drachma
"Are you familiar with her?" she asked Shangluo.

"Well, we are destined."

His fate with Karin is rather strange.If it wasn't for Karin's suffering, if the mayor of Nemi Lake didn't tell the whole story, he might have missed the final reward—or maybe he would have missed the fate of contacting the highest level in Rome. It is also difficult to get online for other cooperation.

Although it is not impossible to get in touch through other channels, it is more interesting and more natural to meet naturally because of fate.

"Fate? Well, she is not human."

"How did you know?"

"Eh?" Gao Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "It's really not true. Is it a female ghost?"

Shang Luo hurriedly glanced up, and Karin was indeed not there: "Fortunately, she didn't hear that it wasn't a female ghost, it was an elf."

"Sure enough." Gao Qingyu was still looking at the direction Karin left, "I heard the sound just now. She was not making the sound with her throat, but vibrating the space. Just now she didn't walk into the corridor normally, she turned around and disappeared. .”

"Elves seem to have no fixed form, so that's why. When they were in the mortal world, they were still bound by the bodies they inhabited, but here they just rely on habit."

"Eh?" Gao Shiyu wondered, "Isn't that still a female ghost?"

A chestnut fell from the sky, and it was his sister who did it.

"You little blind man, can you stop talking! If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb! Why are you so hyperactive!"

"Because I can see! You can take off your headphones too, aren't you excited?"

"No matter how excited I am, I won't look around like you. Don't think that you can look around with your glass beads because you don't have pupils!" Gao Qingyu suppressed her voice even when she was scolding her.She is very sensitive to sound and keeps it at the volume it should be in a library.

"Ah, you two." Before Gao Shiyu was beaten, Shangluo pulled him aside, "Would you like ice cream?"

"Eat! I heard that ice cream has many shapes, right? I have eaten it, but I have never seen it, and it is difficult to feel the shape with my mouth. Sometimes I even want to drop a drop of torch on the ice cream to see the shape , but finally stopped."

"Those two tourists, please go here."

As a local who has been here twice, Shangluo is already familiar with the situation here——

"How many???"

He looked at the price list and was stunned.

Roll ice cream, the current selling price is 10000000000. There are ten 1s after 0.

Gao Qingyu, who came here for the first time, was also stunned for a moment: "I said, Shangluo, are you using Ming coins here?"

Shangluo touched his pocket.

After using it several times, he only had 30 drachmas left.He thought that if everyone had 10 yuan, they would just use it up this time.

But now that's not even enough to buy an ice cream crumb.

"Ah this."

He felt something was wrong from the moment he came in—or rather, order was restored here.First time there, Alexander night had good ice cream, and students.The second time I came, there was an army here, and there were magical machines entrenched in the entire sky.When I came for the third time, that is, this time, it turned out to be the same as the first time.

There are a lot more people on the street, people going to work and opening shops, just like in an ordinary city.If it wasn't a lighthouse that illuminated all this, it really wouldn't be obvious what the problem was.

I just didn't expect the price to increase so much all of a sudden.

"Yo. Are you here?" A familiar voice appeared next to her.

It's Lin.Today is a weekday, she did not go home, but went out on business.Now her business is here today.

"Huh???" Gao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, "Why are they exactly the same?"

"This is Karin's sister. Well, it's her sister. Ah, Sister Lin, these two are my friends, bring them here to participate in the closed beta."

"You want ice cream? Well, are you scared by the price?"

Shang Luo nodded: "How did it become like this?"

"You can't blame Victoria. She asked everyone not to use drachma silver coins for transactions, but to print banknotes with the name 'Drachma'."

"Is that all right?"

"Well, it's fine. Because the emperor represents Rome and is the orthodox government of the entire Greek world, they are fully qualified to decide what is a drachma. But I don't know what they are doing, and they issued denominations like crazy Huge banknotes. As a result, prices skyrocketed, and this is what it is now.”

"Ah, she's quite powerful. So how do I buy it now?"

"The price is just to see, we use this now." Lin opened the wallet and took out a .
Yongle Tongbao.

"Yongle Tongbao?"

"Yes, now everyone has voluntarily switched to using these Cathay copper coins. Because the issuer is in Cathay, it has been quite stable in the long history, so there is no fear of the emperor messing around. But it must be Yongle Tongbao, nothing else will work. . Nowadays, an ice cream costs a penny, and the prices of all three types are the same. Aren’t you from Cathay? Do you have one on you?"

"Ah, but the copper plates we use now."

He took out his wallet.There is indeed a penny "copper plate" inside, and there is also a square hole in the middle, but the size is completely different from that of Yongle Tongbao.And it's not copper coins, it's nickel coins.

Small nickels like this are common coins in Kinai, and vending machines only accept coins of this size.If you really take out Yongle Tongbao, it won't fit in at all.

However, Yongle Tongbao is indeed still being cast.The Yongle Tongbao in Lin's hand is clearly printed with "the first year of Shaoping" casting, and it was just released a few years ago.

"I see." Gao Qingyu probably guessed, "Due to inflation, you switched to Yongle Tongbao, right? That's really reasonable."

"By the way, why haven't I seen Yongle Tongbao passing through Ji Nei?" Shang Luo asked.He remembered that he had indeed seen it, but he couldn't see it when he arrived in Jinai.

"Because Yongle Tongbao has not been in circulation since the Yongle Year, it is a foreign trade coin used in tribute trade. Now although the entire currency system has undergone reforms, Yongle Tongbao has been minted and used as the basis of tribute trade. Circulation certificates. But most of them are just used for bookkeeping. These Yongle Tongbao are used as ballast stones for ballasting warehouses, and for ceremonial exchange of some square items. Think about it this way.”

She looked at the few that had just been minted: "There are indeed many in Rome. We have sent a lot of Yongle Tongbao through direct and indirect channels, and its casting is indeed quite stable every year. Speaking of this Roman emperor, there is a bit I mean, her ability to print treasure banknotes is a bit like Ming Dynasty. But she needs to work harder. She should not recognize the treasure banknotes and not use them to pay taxes. Only then can she be considered a master."
