Chapter 131 Counterfeiting is Risky

The human world is novel to all of them. After all, most of them have never seen a real city before. The permanent population of Lufford City is more than [-]. The ancient society of China is undoubtedly a regional big city.

They are all craftsmen who have not experienced militarized training, nor have they directly experienced the devastation of war. Their sense of discipline and vigilance must be much worse. For safety reasons, Tang Zhao did not allow them to move freely in the city, but let them They rested in the hotel, surrounded by rangers acting as guards, and made plans after Tang Zhao figured out the situation.

[Material supplies and demon scrolls need money to be done, think of a way, let's sell the materials in hand first. 】

In the past, in the countryside, there was no need to think about money at all. Simple bartering can fully meet daily needs. Now when dealing with human beings, the familiar feeling has returned—it is difficult to move without money.

They don't have many currencies that are common in the human world, but they do have enough supplies, from forest specialties to dwarven weapons, which is enough for a simple trade fair. There are always one or two This thing will have a wide market.

In fact, the human currency is not unified. From the country of Oran: the royal family has the right to mint coins, has credibility, and the coins minted have a good precious metal content. They are one of the most common and most valuable currencies in the entire country, but not Only this kind of coin can be used on behalf of Oran.

A few big nobles also have the right to mint coins, and the quality of the coins is not much worse than that of the royal family. They can be used normally within their own territories, and they can maintain their value in the kingdom outside the territories, and the discount is not serious.

Oran is a relatively copper-deficient country. The exchange rate between royal copper coins and silver coins is maintained at [-]:[-] all year round, and if noble silver coins with a silver content similar to royal silver coins are exchanged for royal copper coins, the farther away from the noble's sphere of influence is usually , the more serious the discount is, the discount ranges from [-]% to [-]%, depending on how prestigious the nobleman is, and whether others can sell his face.

In addition to the national currency, Oran also uses the Soladi, which is similar to the general currency, a gold coin with high gold content and exquisite workmanship. It is minted by the commercial city-states near Oran. They have a strong sense of presence in the eastern part of the mainland. And it has a strong credibility. Most countries recognize the value of Soladia. Soladia is often used as a settlement currency in transnational bulk trade. One Soladia can even be exchanged for two royal gold coins in some places, because The physical gold content is twice as bad.

In addition, there are also a small amount of ancient currency circulating in the human world. Although the Ostia Empire no longer exists, and the dwarves have little influence in the human world, almost all sellers do not mind buyers using Ostia gold coins or dwarf gold coins. Payment, because the physical gold content is high.

When a currency that does not have credibility appears in a transaction, the value is calculated based on the precious metal content, but this is rare.

[Actually, currency exchange is also a business opportunity, and my side obviously has an advantage.]

Insula is known as the copper-nickel forest in the human world. Tang Zhao and the others have now discovered copper veins in the forest. The dwarves also have excellent coin casting technology. They can directly imitate the royal copper coins. Anyway, the anti-counterfeiting technology on the copper coins In the eyes of dwarves, it is very rough, and it can be imitated to the extent that it is fake with a little effort.

In fact, ancient metal coins did not care much about anti-counterfeiting. After all, real gold and silver are needed for casting. The anti-counterfeiting method used by many people is to increase the technical cost of counterfeiting and prevent folk counterfeiting. The metallurgical ability of dwarves is stronger than that of the royal family. Existence, maybe their counterfeit coins are more refined than real coins.

It's fine to cast a coin with a precision that surpasses the royal currency. As long as Haiji provides support and pulls metallurgical equipment from Dragon's Blood Pass, it's very simple.

However, Tang Zhao just thought about it in his heart. This is the root of mobilizing the local nobles and royal families. If he dares to do it and is discovered, the consequences will be very serious. It is considered polite for them not to bring troops to fight Tang Zhao.

This doesn't match his current strength. If he has a chance in the future, he can really consider it. After all, there is a copper mine under his lair.

After spending some time figuring out the currency issue, the next step is to find an opportunity to sell your goods.

It seems okay to go directly to Jacques, but if so, there is no need for Tang Zhao to go there himself. One of the purposes of his trip this time is to break the settlement's dependence on a single chamber of commerce. Now it seems that this situation is nothing. If something really goes wrong in the future, the trade suspension can be said to be fatal.

Not in a hurry, he climbed onto the shoulder of Leo the bear and let him carry him to the market to observe the price situation.

Although the race is bear-man, Leo's human form doesn't look like that kind of simple and honest person, but a thin and tall man, who looks like a gentle and elegant scholar, who is not particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Carrying Tang Zhao, it is impossible to fully blend into the crowd, but Tang Zhao is not an idiot, he changed his body color in advance, from pure black, which is very eye-catching and rare in nature, to the most common earthy yellow of lizards, see It doesn't look like a very valuable animal, and it is estimated that no one will take his idea, so try to avoid risks.

Even at the very beginning, he wanted Leo to tie himself up and go shopping in the market disguised as hunting, but Leo made it clear that he would not do it, and the upside-down perspective really made Tang Zhao dizzy, so he had no choice but to give up.

Unlike dragon creatures, he is a pragmatist and does not have too much unnecessary self-esteem. It is hard to say which of the two personalities is better, but this can indeed save a lot of trouble.
-
After strolling around carefully, he was satisfied with the situation—there were a lot of things in the market, and many people dressed as civilians were buying and selling things, which indicated that the supply of materials here is sufficient, the trade is developed, and the mental state of the people is also not bad. There should be no serious natural or man-made disasters in these years.

Of course, if the matter of the demon scroll is not handled properly, there will be a big problem.

Coming out of the market, Tang Zhao didn't act in a hurry, but started wandering around the city. He had to familiarize himself with the terrain first, at least knowing the locations of various important institutions.

After finishing all this, it was just in the evening. Leo had already been to the Adventurer’s Guild before, and he knew the delivery location of the “Mushroom Picking” commission. He asked Leo to bring a large bag of mushrooms. It looked very adventurous after changing. The clothes of the adventurer (that was taken from the adventurer's bag) went there.

So far, the other party is still sending adventurers into the forest without interruption, and he doesn't know what the other party wants to do, but Tang Zhao has no patience to continue watching the show now, so he just took this opportunity to make a conclusion. He wants to use the other party to investigate Devil thing.
