Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Chapter 11 The Value of Mora (2)

The next day, Zhu Yuncheng got up early and came to Guiliji with the two demons and his master.

Marcosius went early to help people make a fire, leaving only a clone who couldn't speak much to follow them. According to his own words, he didn't understand anything and couldn't offer any advice.

Walking in the farmland outside the market, Zhu Yuncheng looked at the rice ears and reached out his hand to gently stroke them.

Food is the most important thing for people. These seemingly insignificant rice ears will provide food for the people of Guiliji for a year in autumn. However, rice is the cheapest commodity in the primitive trade of barter in Liyue. Often, a load of rice can't even be exchanged for a few pieces of meat.

"Hey! Whose family is this kid? Don't touch my rice!"

In the farmland, a farmer saw Zhu Yuncheng holding rice ears in his hands, and immediately shouted and walked over anxiously.

Zhu Yuncheng looked at the farmer, who was about 30 or 40 years old, with bronze skin. He looked like he often worked in the fields. He walked barefoot, leaving muddy footprints with every step.

Zhu Yuncheng apologized repeatedly, "Uncle, please accept this piece of jerky. I have a question for you, can you?"

The farmer frowned at Zhu Yuncheng, then looked at the intact rice ears: "What's there to ask? I still have to go to work."

Zhu Yuncheng quickly grabbed the farmer and took out a piece of dried meat: "No! Uncle, I'll ask you a few questions. It won't take a few minutes. Just treat it as a few minutes of rest, okay?"

Seeing the jerky, the farmer stopped and said, "Just a few questions."

"Hey!" Zhu Yuncheng stuffed the dried meat into the other's arms: "Uncle, how big is this piece of land you have been farming, and how long have you been farming it?"

The farmer thought: "I have been planting crops by myself since I was 18 years old, about 10 to 20 years ago. As for the size, it is probably only two or three acres. I don't know for sure."

"How much is produced throughout the year?"

The farmer counted on his fingers and said, "I don't know. I haven't measured it. If I were to use a shoulder pole to carry the load, it would have been about 15 loads last year."

Zhu Yuncheng asked again: "Is it enough to eat?"

"It's enough. There are five people in my family, including me. In a year, we can eat 13 loads of food, and there are still two loads left to exchange for some cloth to make clothes."

One dan of rice weighs 50 kilograms, and 15 dan of rice weighs 750 kilograms, or 1,500 kilograms of rice. If we calculate based on three acres, that means 500 kilograms of rice per acre, which was considered a good harvest in ancient times. Moreover, a family of five could eat 10 dan of rice a year, plus other fruits, vegetables, and two meals a day, all of which were rice.

After all, the devil will not collect taxes, and the high yield per mu is probably due to the help of the devil.

Zhu Yuncheng nodded slightly: "Besides the cloth, what else do you want to exchange?"

The farmer waved his hands speechlessly: "What else can I exchange for? One bolt of cloth requires a load of rice! Every year, every person in my family needs two bolts of cloth to wear new clothes for festivals!"

Zhu Yuncheng frowned slightly: "No chickens, no vegetables?"

Now it was the farmer's turn to be puzzled: "Raising chickens, what is this?"

Zhu Yuncheng knew in his heart that he had said too much. The game recorded that although there were roads and paths in Guili during this period, there were no chickens or dogs. This meant that chickens and dogs were not raised during this period.

After saying goodbye to the farmer, Gui Zhong, who had been standing behind Zhu Yuncheng during the conversation, stepped forward and asked curiously, "Xiao Yun, why are you asking these questions?"

Zhu Yuncheng said respectfully: "Sister Guizhong, food is the most important thing for the people. Rice is an indispensable and most valuable thing for the people of Guiliji. I know about the rice yield, which is also a major reference."

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, how was the reference?"

Zhu Yuncheng: "I think if gold coins are implemented, a load of rice, fifty kilograms, will be worth ten gold coins."

"Isn't this a bit too little?" Gui Zhong asked suspiciously.

Zhu Yuncheng: "It's just my junior's idea."

Gui Zhong thought about it and said, "Well, let's just record it down as you said for now."

A person manages three acres of land and produces 1,500 kilograms of rice per year. He eats 1,300 kilograms and the remaining 200 kilograms can be exchanged for 20 gold coins. Well, with this outcome, food and gold coins are equated. In this way, even if the gold coin reserves are insufficient in the future, rice can be used as temporary currency.

Then, several people entered the large and small markets in Guiliyuan. After spending a few days communicating with Zhu Yuncheng and many vendors, they returned to the mountains and formulated a basic exchange plan.

"Here, this is the exchange plan that Xiaoyun made. Emperor, take a look."

The Emperor took the book from Gui Zhong and began to read it with his head down.

"10 kilograms of rice for one gold coin, 1 kilogram of meat for three gold coins, 1 piece of coarse cloth for one gold coin, 1 piece of colorful flower cloth for five gold coins, clothes according to the material, ordinary coarse cloth for two gold coins a piece, colorful flower cloth for ten gold coins, herbs according to their preciousness..." The emperor read it all carefully, and after confirming that Zhu Yuncheng included all the things that the people of Guiliji usually exchanged, he nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Yun did a good job, there is no need to make any changes."

Gui Zhong smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Do you know what Xiao Yun said to me after he handed it over to me?"

The Emperor was puzzled: "What did he say to you?"

"Xiao Yun told me that she hopes I can persuade the Emperor to announce this matter at the Guili Festival. During this period, we should produce more gold coins so that the right to issue gold coins will be firmly in our hands. She also hopes to add some special patterns on the gold coins to prevent people from counterfeiting currency."

Gui Zhong recalled what Zhu Yuncheng said at that time and said, "Xiao Yun's explanation is that only if we firmly grasp the right to issue gold coins in our hands, and then store a large amount of materials for exchange, will the people of Guiliji believe in gold coins. Xiao Yun also said that the name of gold coins is still too common, and begged the emperor to change the name of gold coins."

The Emperor was surprised: "Is this really what Xiaoyun said? I have never heard of the right to issue or counterfeit currency."

Gui Zhong was helpless: "I don't know what's in Xiao Yun's head, but he can explain it clearly anyway."

The Emperor thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let's do as Xiaoyun said. The time for the promotion of gold coins will be during the Guili Festival. As for the name."

"After all, it's you who announced the release, so why not call it Mora?" Gui Zhong said.

The Emperor nodded: "Then call me Mora!"

In the Liuyun Cave in Aozang Mountain.

Zhu Yuncheng lay on his bed and thought: I have already explained to Guizhong the exchange method and other things to pay attention to, I believe that Mr. Zhongli will agree.

When it is released at the end of the year, the people sent by Heuliah will see this scene and will definitely tell their demon god about this matter. At that time, Mora will be the only means of transaction. As long as the other party wants to exchange, Mora will flow into the other party's territory. Ha, at that time, one ton of salt will cost one Mora, so there is no need to worry about Heulia not producing more salt.

As for not trading, haha, if Heuliah didn’t want to trade, he wouldn’t have sent anyone to trade!

Although Zhu Yuncheng's knowledge of business comes from Shenzhou Modern's short videos, it is enough to crush everything in this era.

Just as Zhu Yuncheng was daydreaming, his door was suddenly pushed open, and he saw Liu Yunhe standing outside, saying coldly: "Why don't you practice!"

Zhu Yuncheng immediately jumped up: "Master, I will start practicing right away!"
