Chapter 104 Copper Coin on the Grassland
Half a month after the nightmare knight incident, the forest elves trade team arrived at the flame tribe as scheduled.
Xiao Yun personally received these important guests and invited this team of elves to the activity room to provide delicious food and good drinks. When he turned his back, his smile was a bit cold.
The lady Evelyn who was responsible for signing the contract with the Snow Wolf clan did not come. Putting aside the girl's pleasing beauty, she is a little immature and always pretends to be mature, Ms. Evelyn, in Xiao Yun's opinion, is a bit cute, um...for his kind of professional veteran, funny This kind of workplace newcomer also has a kind of relaxing fun.
Last year's transaction, Ms. Evelyn made it clear that she would still be responsible for this year, but during this year's transaction period, Ms. Evelyn did not show up, only a group of elf warriors came.
Temporary replacement seems to be nothing, but combined with the previous attack on the Snow Wolf Warriors, the amount of information in this is huge-Ms. Evelyn's teacher is the elder of Ananas City, and she herself is also in the Council of Elders.Candidate, in terms of the right to speak and the credibility of the "testimony", Ms. Evelyn is undoubtedly much higher than the average elf warrior.
She was temporarily replaced, and the explanation brought by the elf warrior was "there is a sudden mission." Does this mean that some people don't want Ms. Evelyn to understand the current situation of the Fire Tribe, or even... don't want to be like Ms. Evelyn? Those who have a certain right to speak know about the changes on the grassland?
So the question is, who has this status and power... Openly distracted Ms. Evelyn?
Xiao Yun walked out and arranged for the people in the cafeteria to prepare a feast to entertain the guests, but he quickly thought about the countermeasures in his mind.
There is no doubt that there is a teacher in Ananas who is not inferior to Ms. Evelyn's teacher. He deliberately dismissed Ms. Evelyn and only let a group of warriors take charge of the transaction. That is to say that he didn't want the forest elves to take charge of the transaction. "Adopting" the "testimony" of the snow werewolf tribe.
This person is likely to have a higher status than the Elf General Kleist—because part of this year's deal is about military dry food. If you are in the position of General Kleist, you will naturally want someone with a higher status. Or his own soldiers will be in charge, but... the team sent to the Snow Wolf tribe is entirely composed of elven warriors in the city. Xiao Yun did not see any warriors who belonged to Klester and were on duty at the port. .
"It's really cautious." Xiao Yun sneered. He still doesn't know who the enemy is, but judging from the methods adopted by the opponent, this is undoubtedly a deep, old, arrogant and cold opponent. From the beginning, he did not intend to give the Snow Wolf Clan a chance to question, nor did it at all. Put the snow werewolf tribe in your eyes.
This matter, Xiao Yun actually doesn't care much... Whether you want to "sue" or question, you also need a certain amount of strength if you want the problem you raised to be taken seriously. Otherwise, it is very likely that not only will the problem be unsolved, but he will also Was resolved.
So he branched out Yu and Hongye before the trading date approached. From the beginning, Xiao Yun had no intention of questioning the forest elves in such problem.
The friendly, lively and harmonious transaction ended, and the elven warriors were sent away. The precious metals exchanged for sun cloth, sauces and dried vermicelli with porcelain were put into the warehouse. Xiao Yun calmly opened the "Basic Law of Grassland Currency" bound with bark paper. Draft, began to calculate the currency value coefficient of the internal currency system. Credit banknotes are obviously more maneuverable than precious metal currencies, but Xiao Yun knows it. He is not arrogant enough to think that a small tribe with just over 700 people has the courage to engage in credit banknotes...
So they worked so hard in exchange for precious metals. It cannot be only placed in a warehouse, it must be used.
Directly using external currency is not good for the economy on the grassland. Xiao Yun must consider coinage. There is no problem with technical support in this area. When the tribe began to squeeze soybean oil with water, the gray dwarves used the coin-minting water conservancy forging equipment. It's pounded out. Now part of the farm tools and small parts in the tribe are forged by hydraulic power, otherwise they are all handcrafted by those dozens of dwarves, how can they keep up with the consumption.
This is also the growth forced by demand. In terms of farming, an adult snow wolf can be a strong labor force for ten humans, but it also requires special farming tools. The tribe's hoes, shovel and other tools with wooden handles can no longer withstand. , It must be fitted with a detachable metal handle, just this, and if the metal handle is broken or broken, it is very convinced...
If you want to make the homemade coins recognized by the people, you must let the homemade coins exist. The value of internal transaction circulation is to guarantee the purchasing power of coins.
In the current situation where all the means of production are shared, you have to ask the people to earn money through labor, and then use the money to buy the daily necessities and supplies just needed. This is too human...reliable companies also include five The insurance and housing fund provides canteens to provide staff dormitories. Therefore, in terms of basic food, clothing and housing, at this stage, it must be a distribution system, and it is impossible to "stimulate domestic demand."
So in terms of promoting internal currency circulation and ensuring currency purchasing power, what Xiao Yun can do is to work hard on non-rigidly needed civilian assets, such as snacks!
Taked out the copper money from the tribe, smelt it and fuse it with zinc (mostly zinc ore is associated with iron ore) to form brass (the alloy of zinc and copper, brass is the earliest alloy used by the ancients), and use hydraulic stamping to forge the face value to one gram Brass coins with three weights of, five grams and ten grams, inside and outside the circle. A pure copper coin with a net content of two grams can be smelted into three brass coins weighing one gram. Anyway, the coin is originally a huge profit, and this currency is only circulated in his own house. Xiao Yun is not afraid that anyone will eat it. Scolding him a profiteer...
Furthermore, the pure copper coins are rusty and messy when you put them away. How can brass have such good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and brass is relatively beautiful...
As for why it is cast into square holes, it wasn't purely because Xiao Yun wanted to play with his feelings, but the square hole was easier to carry and keep, so you wouldn't be afraid of losing it when you string it on a stronger string.
Picking up a brass coin from the basket and spreading it in the palm of his hand, Xiao Yun did not blindly pursue the beauty of the copper coins circulating inside, so the style of the first batch of coins was quite simple...Take a one-gram brass coin as an example , there are four square Chinese characters "Prairie Copper Coin" on the front, a "1" on the left side of the back, representing the currency value, and a simple vine-like pattern on the right. On the side of the coin is a row of repeated small characters: "The Great Unity of the People of the Grassland".
Hmm...The design is really simple and insulting to the high-value brass... But if the coins that circulate the most are not used as the front line of propaganda work, Xiao Yun feels that he has suffered a big loss, so just do it casually, don't Pay attention to so many...
"Baru, what do you think of this coin?" After flipping and checking several times, Xiao Yun looked at Baru who was in charge of minting the coin with interest.

"Baru, what do you think of this coin?" After flipping and checking several times, Xiao Yun looked at Baru who was in charge of minting the coin with interest.
"Just do it." The Huoyan patriarch was as serious and concise as ever.
Even though Xia is the head of the patriarch, he has no right to speak. He can only watch with a cold face as the fish bones and rosemary, which are more and more powerful, are discussing whether the pork floss is delicious or the beef floss is delicious.
Patriarch Li was stared at the back with Xiaohua's sharp gaze, and silently raised his hand to agree.
Baru is absolutely nothing, the gray dwarves love the dinner in the cafeteria more than snacks.
Goblin Old Sandman has never raised objections. More than 70% of the people agree, this matter naturally passed calmly...
Xiao Yun took the dustpan full of coins to the crowd, and let everyone look at it: "Then, let's discuss the purchasing power of coins, which is What denomination coin is appropriate for the amount of snacks purchased by the Welfare Department, and how many denomination coins are appropriate for the daily workload of each task force..."
Forcing others to do it by themselves, there is no problem in the short term, and the time is long, kid Will produce rebellious psychology; skillfully guide others, let others make choices within the scope of their own delineation, and create a psychological suggestion to others that "I am also a decision maker", then the difficulty of work development will be relatively low...Xiao Yun I have calculated the standard range by myself, and let everyone discuss how to choose within the range he delineated. This approach is much more high-end than the requirement of "you all listen to me", and it is not easy to waste time and waste saliva.
In short, you can use the details as you like. This is the power that the participants of our working conference have. I will plan the framework. This is not very important. Come and let us continue to discuss the details...
After a lively discussion, the standard for the distribution of copper coins and the standard for redemption of snacks were set for each task force after the daily workload was completed. After the meeting, the soldiers and task force leaders who participated in the meeting joyfully informed them of the good news to their good friends... Do you know that after working for the next day, you can get coins to exchange for your favorite spicy snacks! Much more than before!
Really? Is there such a good thing?
Of course! This is something you personally participate in the discussion! The longer you work in the same task force, the more bonus it will be!
Hmm... Including the cat tribe, no one in the simple prairie people thinks of worrying about the countless "white jobs" they have done before-and they can't do this kind of calculation. Although they didn't give money before, the cafeteria was full. Well! Give clothes and blankets to live in a house!
The forcibly issued "decree" never had a good adaptability to the policy based on the voice of the masses. After a few days, the Welfare Department was ready. At dinner that day, the heads of the various work teams distributed coins according to the length of time they participated in the work, regardless of the amount of time they received. People who get more and less are happy...
Take the canteen with Oxhorn as an example. Three "old employees" including Oxhorn have served for more than two years. According to the standard of two new copper coins per day, every horn Japan's "snack subsidy" is a five-gram coin plus four one-gram coins, plus two one-gram coins as an additional subsidy by the person in charge.
Oxhorn held the coins and rushed to the welfare department that was rebuilt with the first batch of relatively small warehouses, and was pleasantly surprised to find...
Slap-sized deep-fried bean cakes cost two yuan soon!
The most popular cut sugar made by pressing and cutting the contents such as fried beans with preserved fruit, it costs three dollars apiece!
White tender spicy tofu nao, two yuan a bowl!
Pork floss weighed in bulk, five yuan for 200 grams!
The white sugar cubes are also weighed. Ten yuan is a catty, which is a big bag!
And cream, yogurt, canned fruit, fried food... and so on.
Oxhorn' mouths were cracked, and he quickly replaced all the snack subsidies today with favorite snacks, holding them to Qiu to share...
Of course, the Ministry of Welfare does not only provide snacks, but also products produced in the tribe that are not included in the distribution system. For example, a pair of fingerless wool gloves requires three grams of brass coins, and a white and soft scarf requires ten. Copper coins, a pair of super wear-resistant underwear made of sun cloth requires five copper coins, socks require three copper coins, soap, portable water bottle, bottled chili oil, more delicate clothing and so on. It's difficult to attract people who only focus on snacks for the "valuables" that you need to save a few days of money to buy. However, when the products are there, there will always be people who will look at them. If they see too much, they will have the idea of owning them. , It is just a matter of course to produce a sense of accumulation.
The "subsidy" received by Caogen patriarch is the same as Oxhorn, and it is 11 grams of brass per day. She wandered around in front of the merchandise display cabinet of the Ministry of Welfare for a long time, bought a bottle of chili oil worth five copper coins, and returned to the house contentedly... She has decided to save a period of subsidy to get the piece upright. I bought my clothes.
Ashu, who was just able to get up and move around, was unable to be a fighter again due to severe internal organ damage. Although he did not participate in the work, he was injured during the patrol period. Before he recovered from his injury, he also had a "work-related injury allowance" as discussed in the work meeting. The basic "subsidy" of five copper coins per day, plus two years of working experience (after the tribal production model is determined, foreign trade awareness, that is, when Prince Carlisle visits for the first time), his subsidy is only two less than the horns. Bucks. Keep your mouth clean due to internal organ injuries. You can't eat snacks, so save them for later use.
Counting it down, for the tribe to be seriously injured and disabled, that is, you can get nine dollars a day if you don't work... It's a bit miserable, but there are no conditions to provide better extra benefits at least. ...
A newcomer who normally participates in work, has no seniority and is not a person in charge, only costs five yuan a day.
The currency sent out is recycled through products that are not just needed for people's livelihood, and then distributed. This has a good circular effect and stimulates everyone's enthusiasm for labor. The initial effect seems to be good; it is to toss the river that has to deal with such a large workload. It's so choking, I almost put Dahe on the ground... In this regard, Xiao Yun said that you deserve it! I should give you more practice for a lazy person!
The internal currency circulation is a major event. Xiao Yun stared at it for a few days. After the initial enthusiasm passed, everyone gradually shifted their eyes from snacks to sun cloth clothing. After a group of female-dominant tribes began to save money, they released it. The purpose of this part of the current circulation of copper coins is to cultivate everyone's economic awareness. After everyone adapts to the conscious distribution and consumption of the coins they own, the subsidy distribution can be changed from the troublesome daily system to the weekly salary system. , Monthly salary system to increase stability.
In the future, if there are more people and a larger base, the canteen can also order food from the horse. You can pay for what you want to eat and add food... It can increase satisfaction, and it can also recycle money. It can kill two birds with one stone.
The wizard port on the west coast.
General Kleist was a bit dissatisfied with the Council of Elders' monopoly of the military dry food trade and not allowing military personnel to intervene, but since the other general did not speak out, he could not protest. However, when the dry food delivered to the dock to be distributed to the guards was much less than the original amount, General Kleist couldn't bear no matter how good the temper was.
"I ask the Council of Elders to give an explanation on this matter, which is not in line with the predetermined amount." Checking the vermicelli loaded on the convoy, General Kleist waved away the cloak, frowned and walked to the escort officer.
"General Kleist, this is the share given by the Council of Elders after carefully calculating the daily consumption of the port's rotating personnel. I think it should be reasonable." The escort officer wearing a long robe respectfully said. "What about the vassal race? What about the human races and orcs who maintain the operation of the port? Should our soldiers go hunting and fishing to ensure their needs?" General Kleist's voice increased a little.
"This... the bread loaded on the back car is just for the vassal race." The escort officer's face turned pale, but he didn't want to step back.
General Kleist took a deep breath, and blue veins appeared on his forehead...
The elves accept vassal races and will not treat slaves as harshly. Although they will not provide much supplies, at least ordinary elves can eat anything they can. What to eat is fair to a certain extent in the most basic civilian resources. This is also the main reason why many human races and orcs will defect from their hometowns and come to vassalize the elves.
It's hard work to leave the forest to work on the pier. Naturally, preferential treatment is required. The vassal races who are willing to come can enjoy half the treatment of the elf warriors. Then, the elf warriors have a meal for the distribution of noodles that are more delicious than bread (key point). If you eat three or two fans, the vassal race should also be divided into one and two halves.
The more pocket-sized Elf Port requires a hundred warriors to rotate, and the number of vassal humans and orcs is 200. After all... Elf warriors also need someone to serve. Besides, this port will welcome in addition to the St. Bridges caravan from this year. The guests and adventurer team of the Sea Clan, prepared hotels, hotels, and other chores have to be done, right?
Halen, his subordinate, has a good relationship with the snow werewolf tribe. The snow werewolf tribe promised that in addition to the first batch of 400,000 catties of sweet potato vermicelli this year, they will provide a transaction volume of no less than half a million catties each in the next two installments. Kleist The general felt that he would not treat him badly in this regard. He never expected the Council of Elders to be so unceremonious. Only less than 20,000 catties of noodles were shipped. Is this mocking him, mocking him, or mocking him? !
He picked up the escort officer, and carried the guy into the corner in the horrified gaze of the vassal race who was busy carrying supplies. General Klester grabbed his collar with one hand and put the other hand on the saber, looking bad. Land: "400,000 catties of powder, even if more than 4,000 people in the city are left open to eat for a few months, they can't finish it. Tell me, where is the batch of powder that I bought back?"
From the city of Ananas The two elven generals, Kleist is a relatively calm and kind one. At this moment, the honest person got angry, but the escort officer of ordinary civil servants couldn't stand it. He lowered his head in a cold sweat and said like a mosquito: "This...really has nothing to do with our logistics department...the one who entered the warehouse...only one hundred thousand catties...we are responsible for the supply in the city...there are other troops...so..."
"The other 300,000 catties Where's the catty?" General Kleist's face turned black.
"The Council of Elders is in charge... sent to... Stephens City..." The escort officer looked pale.
"Is the Council of Elders taking Ananas' supplies for favors?!" General Kleist exclaimed, "Even if you want to be favors, can't you wait for the next batch?! Ananas is in the eyes of the Council of Elders. What the hell is that!"
"General, this is not something we can decide." The escort officer raised his mouth and smiled wryly. Let alone him, the head of the logistics department is not qualified to influence the decision of the elders council.
General Kleist threw off the escort officer, turned and strode away with a dark face.
He could probably guess what was going on. Elder Gwendolyn was transferred to Ananas from the Queen's Mages decades ago. In the eyes of tribal generals like him, the status of the elders of a city is high enough, but Gwen must be Elder Doreen was not reconciled.
