Chapter 9: Silver Moon Dad
"Mr. Brewer?"
The named chef trembled: "Yes, my sir!"
"I like your roasted heron very much," said Liqi. "Saymen, reward Mr. Barrel for a silver moon."
The chef bent down in surprise, wishing to pounce in front of Li Qi and kiss his boots: "Thank you for your generosity, sir!"
Li Qi smiled.
Others cast envious eyes on the chef who likes to be lazy the most in daily life.
According to Li Qi's knowledge, there are three types of currency in the Lureya continent where he lives, namely the Golden Sun, the Silver Moon and the Bronze Star. 1 Golden Sun is about 100 Silver Moon and 1 Silver Moon is about 20 Bronze Stars.
Gold is a scarce material. Baron Liqi, who refined dead bodies, now has a deep understanding that it is more useful in other aspects than treating gold as currency. Almost no one will regard gold as circulating currency, except when redeeming aristocratic captives, a bag of gold sun is always more suitable than a few large baskets of silver moons or a carriage of bronze stars, and it is also in line with the identity of aristocratic.
Therefore, the basic currency circulation is the silver moon and the bronze star. If you really want to exchange silver moon for gold, the exchange rate will be 1:200 or even 1:300.
The same is true for silver moon exchange for bronze stars. It will probably reach 1:40 in wartime, and may also be around 1:25 in peacetime. No one will exchange it according to the laws of the kingdom. Except for some financial adults who intend to make a living, they may write a very strict exchange rate that no one believes in when reporting to the upwards.
The price of no currency is eternal and depends on agricultural harvest, lord policies, and whether to fight.
The only eternal things are the gun head of the soldier, the iron hoof of the war horse, and the "true love" of the prostitute after payment.
In addition to the changes in exchange rates, what is more harmful is that purchasing power is changing all the time. The golden sun is the most valuable, the silver moon is fluctuating less, and the bronze star... Sometimes a bronze star can buy a piece of bread, but only half a piece of bread the next day, or even a piece of bread in Dongxia. When you go to the giant feet in the south, you can only buy bread crumbs.
The fluctuations in the value of money are influenced by merchants, who control the market and serve the nobles.
In the past few years, the kingdom was unable to pay military pay during wars, and the kingdom was crazily casting the bronze star, which was also the reason why the purchasing power of the bronze star is now tight. Compared with the bronze star, everyone likes Silver Moon, it is more valuable and easier to hide, especially when deserters, bandits and robbers come to loot, it is also much easier when moving and fleeing.
Yinyue is also called Dad. The wolf killer once told a story. A man was very poor and his family was about to starve to death. One day, he found him alone and said he wanted to buy his white-bearded father. Because the man's father was sentenced to hang and wanted the man's father to die. After the man discussed with his father who had only one breath, he sent his father over at the price of Yinyue. Yinyue could sell his father in one month, and my father could also become yours, so he called Yinyue Dad.
There are also stories that just spend a silver moon to make the lady call you dad in the bed.
Anyway, there are all versions.
The copper star is also called copper bread, copper part, etc. The most intuitive reason is that a copper star can buy a piece of wheat bran bread that fills the stomach. Many people may not be able to earn a piece of black bread that fills the stomach when they are busy all day. It should be called copper part, because now they can only buy half a piece of bread.
Jin Il is also called the Golden Bear, because the family emblem of the king who currently controls this continent is a golden bear. If there is a pig family or a horse family in the future and the chicken family becomes the king, then Jin Il may be called the Golden Pig, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster.
Except for the housekeeper Saimen who has served the Baron for a long time, the rest of the people are calculated on a daily basis, and of course, the salary is not paid every day.
The servants who work in the Baron Castle have a salary of 3 bronze stars a day, and the butler's salary for a month is 4 silver months and 10 bronze stars. Officially, they are 90 bronze stars a month, but in fact, as long as the butler can manage finances, it will make the money more than several times.
So Li Qi's generous reward of a silver moon was enough to make them excited.
"It's not just the chef," said Li Qi: "I see all these things, and there may be rewards for feeding my horse, helping me wash my clothes, and cleaning the castle."
Others have shortness of breath and as long as they perform well, they may be rewarded with silver moon. That is a silver moon!
One silver month is exchanged for work passion and short-term loyalty. As long as these people are still thinking about One Silver month and more and more Silver month, they will not be extinguished. Of course, there are also prices, such as competing, mutual runs, disunity, small reports, open and secret battles, etc., but these have nothing to do with Baron Li Qi.
He hoped that "generousness" could replace Baron Liqi's impression of being "afraid of life", and he also hoped that it would temporarily forget that Baron Porcupine Castle had no soldiers at this time.
"Everyone can go back and be busy," Li Qi said to the bald chef Jiu Chuan: "Sir, can you help me prepare dinner?"
"Of course!" Jiuzhu nodded repeatedly, and now he wanted to show off his superb cooking skills.
Dining room.
The male servant came to pour wine for Li Qi, and Li Qi was the only one eating on the long table.
Maybe he was not hungry at noon. He felt more and more that the chef's cooking skills were not very good. The seasoning was too monotonous and greasy. His mouth was difficult for Li Qi, who was savored in the 21st century, to accept this simple frying. The oil in the steak was not completely frying out, and the fat meat was "gurgling" in his mouth. He picked up the wine glass and took a bite, and then he barely swallowed the meat.
The housekeeper Saimen reported on the situation of the Porcupine collar.
The porcupines near the sea have about 200 civilians, mainly agriculture, but the land of the porcupines is barren, and the crops grown can barely be eaten half full, and most of the harvests have to be paid taxes.
As for the Baron's own property, he had three horses, four sheep, twenty-two chickens, and 8,002 silver moons. He just gave Mr. Berkeley a silver moon, but now there are 8,001 left.
There is not a single golden sun in the huge territory. Although Li Qi has some gold in his hand, gold is of great use to him and will not be used for silver moon.
After listening to the report from the butler Saimen, he had an intuitive concept of how poor he was.
If he simply goes to the "holy land" of Iron Stone City to enjoy it, he can spend 8,000 days comfortably every day, but unfortunately he is a lord, so few of these are.
The Baron's biggest property should be the 80 armed soldiers, the chain armor on their bodies and the shield axe and sword in their hands, all of which were made of a lot of silver moons. Now Li Qi can only pray for their return safely.
Li Qi stood up and said, "I'll go to the study."
The servant cleaned up the table for him, and the housekeeper also turned around to say goodbye after bowing.
At this time, Li Qi could understand why he used a male servant instead of a maid in the castle, although he was very regretful.
The male servant has greater power, and he can do many jobs and is cost-effective.
In the study, Li Qi was flipping through the books, which were made of rags and tree fibers. After reading for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote the square characters on the paper that were definitely a strange rune to this world.
"Porcupine Castle Development Plan"
He hesitated for a moment and put down his pen.
The impression of the entire territory comes from the oral narration of the housekeeper and servant. Blind planning is not what a baron should do, so it is best to inspect it tomorrow.
