i have a super island

Chapter 810

When Roger arrived at the City of Nations, the next thing, of course, was that Fang and his wife accompanied him to visit the island.

Four months ago, when Roger left from Wan Guo City, he was not what he is now.

At that time, there were less than a hundred people on the island, and the scale was only a small island village. Now, the number of people on the island has exceeded a thousand, and people can be seen almost everywhere. This island has become a lively town.

I took Roger to visit several planting areas on the island, and then took him to the trade market on the east coast of the island.

The crowded scene here is like coming to a flea market. The natives of different tribes come here with their own specialties, wanting to exchange for what they want.

Seeing the picture in front of him, Roger couldn't help shaking his head and exclaiming in disbelief.

It has only been four months since he came back from this trip, but the speed of development on the island seems to have passed 40 years, which is really fast and unbelievable.

"Mr. Fang, how did you do all this?"

"Um……"

While several people were chatting, Roger's eyes were attracted by a bird in the hands of a vendor.

The bird has green feathers all over its body and a circle of red feathers on its head. It looks very beautiful. It is a parrot.

The vendor is holding the parrot and yelling loudly, hoping that passers-by can buy the parrot in his hand.

Luo Jie first expressed his apologies to Fang Fang and Li Qingman, "Mr. Fang, Ma'am, I want to go and see that bird, can you excuse me?"

Fang Fang smiled and said, "What's the matter, we will go with you."

Coming to the vendor, Roger tried to communicate with him, expressing that he wanted to buy the bird in his hand.

Although the two cannot speak the same language, it is not too difficult to negotiate the price even if they do not speak the language. The price can be negotiated by gesturing.

This parrot was caught by the vendor while hunting, and he gave Roger a finger without thinking about how much it could sell for.

After thinking about it, Roger felt that the parrot's fur was really beautiful, so he nodded and took out a gold coin from his pocket.

Originally, this was a deal where the vendor made a lot of money, but the vendor was not happy. He glanced at the gold coin in Roger's hand, and the vendor refused to sell it. What he wanted were copper coins from the City of Nations, such as gold coins. He had never seen it before, and he didn't know that it was actually worth much more than copper coins.

"Mr. Fang, this..." Roger looked at Equation with a puzzled expression.

"Captain Roger, put away your gold coins."

With a slightly proud smile on his face, Fang Fang took out a copper coin from his pocket and gave it to the vendor, buying the parrot from him.

Of course, the equation was not bought for himself, but for Roger.

"Since you like this parrot so much, I will give it to you."

"Mr. Fang, the one you used just now is..."

"Copper coins, copper coins from Wan Guo City."

"Oh my God."

Roger rubbed his forehead. Ever since he came to Wan Guo City again, his surprise has been higher and higher.

He never thought that Equation would actually issue its own coins in Wan Guo City, this... this is incredible.

"Mr. Fang, can I have a look at the copper coin you just used?"

"of course."

The dealer who sold the parrot was worried that Fang would go back on his word, so he left in a hurry.

Fang Fang smiled, took out another copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Roger.

Looking at the copper coin in his hand, Roger couldn't help being amazed. He didn't expect that the level of this island could produce a copper coin with a fairly good craftsmanship.

While Roger was looking at the copper coin in amazement, Li Qingman was thinking about another thing.

At present, all the copper coins in Wan Guocheng are not backed by gold coins, although the modern currency system was adopted at the beginning of issuance, and the credit of Wan Guocheng was used to endorse the copper coins.

But both Li Qingman and Fang Fang knew in their hearts that the social production level of Wanguocheng was far from reaching the level of modern society. If they really wanted to play with the currency system of modern society, there would definitely be problems. That is, you must have gold in your hands.

"Mr. Fang, your copper coins are very interesting, can you exchange some for me?" Roger asked.

Without waiting for Equation to speak, Li Qingman snatched it up and said, "Captain Roger, in fact, even if you don't talk about it, we will tell you that we will use the copper coins of our Wan Guo City to supply food and fresh water from our Wan Guo City in the future. "

Luo Jie understood what Li Qingman meant, that is to say, when he came to Wan Guo City, he had to use their copper coins as the Romans did.

"Ma'am, I'd love to exchange some of your currency, but how is the exchange rate calculated?"

Li Qingman silently calculated the number of copper coins currently issued by Wan Guocheng and the production level of Wan Guocheng, and roughly said a number, "One gold coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, what do you think?"

When Roger heard this, the exchange rate was really great, one gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred copper coins.

The parrot that Equation bought just now cost only one copper coin. If it was a gold coin, wouldn't it be possible to buy a bunch of things in this market.

Of course, gold itself is much more expensive than copper.

Copper is calculated in tons, while gold is measured in grams, so the exchange rate quoted by Li Qingman is not too outrageous.

"Can I change it now?" Roger couldn't wait.

"Not here, let's go back to the city." Li Qingman smiled slightly.

Roger said: "Then let's go back."

Fang Fang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

On the way back, Fang Fang and Li Qingman looked at each other.

Fang Fang secretly praised that he was worthy of being the head of Sheng'an Fund. This trick out of nothing brought real gold to the island all at once.

Moreover, this is not an overt robbery, and it has nothing to do with cheating and abducting. It is completely gold earned by the exchange rate.

The biggest advantage of this method is that once and for all, as long as an exchange rate is determined, there will naturally be a steady stream of gold coins to exchange in the future, and these exchangers can be Roger, the captain of other merchant ships, or people from other island countries , anyway, as long as you come with gold coins, you can exchange them for copper coins at this exchange rate in Wan Guo City.

Everyone is doing business, and what they pay attention to is also a reputation, but the things bought and sold have changed from commodities to currencies.

When he arrived in the city, Roger directly sent his first mate to fetch a bag of gold coins from the boat, and came to Li Qingman with a smile, "Dear madam, I want to exchange one hundred gold coins."

Li Qingman frowned slightly, one hundred gold coins are 8000 copper coins, but at present they don't have so many copper coins in their hands, and they only have more than [-] coins in their hands. They can't tell Roger that you wait any longer, I will go now Isn't it a joke to ask someone to cast another batch?

Fortunately, Li Qingman immediately thought of a way, and said: "Captain Roger, why don't we deduct your food and fresh water first, and I will exchange the rest for you, what do you think?"

Of course Roger had no objection, anyway, the money for the supplies had to be paid, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "I'm very happy."

As a result, the money for fresh water and food was deducted, ten copper coins for a barrel of fresh water, five copper coins for a catty of sweet potatoes, more than 2000 copper coins were crossed out at once, and the copper coins that Li Qingman transferred to Roger only used more than 7000 copper coins.
