MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-v2 Chapter 261 counterfeit money for real money

Counterfeiting is an inevitable product after the emergence of trading activities, because the profit margin of counterfeiting is too great. Two pieces of goods that look similar in appearance may have a difference of ten or a hundred times the production cost. Because of such huge profits, there are many counterfeiters. Counterfeiting currency is undoubtedly one of the most profitable things in counterfeiting activities. Jiang Xuan never expected that in such a short period of time, some people began to imitate the sword coins of the Teng tribe, and took them to the trading area of ​​the Teng tribe to trade goods. It turned out that he still looked down on the tribesmen too much. While thinking about these things, Jiang Xuan followed the soldier to the trading area. After a while, he had already arrived at the trading area. At this time, in the trading area, a large group of people were watching the excitement. "Get out of the way, the leader is here." The soldier opened the way in front, and squeezed a passage through the crowd of onlookers. In the center of the crowd, Mallow and a few guardsmen grabbed a young man who was nervous. The young man was about twenty-three or four years old, his skin was tanned, his stature was thin, and the totem lines on his face were rather strange, which looked like a pair of sharp claws. Seeing Jiang Xuan coming over, Mallow immediately took out two golden sword coins and said, "Boss, this man brought two fake sword coins in exchange for salt and pottery." Jiang Xuan took the two fake coins. The big knife coin is heavy, with a golden metallic luster. Most importantly, this gold is more dazzling than the bronze of the Vine tribe. The appearance of these two fake big knife coins is almost the same as the real big knife coins, only there are some differences in the details. The big knife coins of the rattan tribe are cast by the lost wax method, and then polished to a smoother appearance. But the two fake big knife coins are different. It has obvious bumps on the surface. Based on Jiang Xuan's experience, it should be the hammer mark. In other words, these two big knife coins were actually made by forging. Forging is the most primitive way of metal processing. It only needs to heat the metal or directly cold forge it to make it into the desired shape. But there are not many metals that can be directly forged. It needs that metal to exist in the form of elemental substances in nature. Such as natural copper, such as silver, such as gold. wait, gold? Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the two fake big knife coins and said in surprise, "Such bright gold is not really gold, right?" Jiang Xuan immediately left the crowd and walked to the inn in the trading area. Mallow and others didn't know what Jiang Xuan wanted to do, but they followed. After Jiang Xuan entered the inn, he walked directly to the kitchen and said to the man who was burning the fire, "Throw these two large knife coins into the fire to heat it up." "Yes!" Although the man was also curious about what Jiang Xuan was going to do, he didn't ask much , threw the two big knife coins directly into the fire pit, and blew desperately with a bamboo pipe, so that the fire could burn a little more vigorously. "Boss, what is this for?" Mallow walked to Jiang Xuan and asked curiously. Jiang Xuan replied: "Check the material of the counterfeit knife coin to see if it is what we need." Mallow seemed to understand, but she didn't ask too much, just watched Jiang Xuan's actions curiously. Jiang Xuan stared at the fake knife coins in the flames, and saw that they were gradually burned red under the scorching of the flames, and they became bright red. "Okay, hook them out." Under Jiang Xuan's command, the man hooked the rings on the handles of the two fake big knife coins with bronze hooks and hooked them out. After being placed on the ground, the two fake knife coins began to cool down slowly. When the fake knife coin was almost cooled, Jiang Xuan picked it up with his hands. "Ding ding ding" He held two fake knife coins and tapped each other a few times, the fake knife coins made a crisp sound. Then, he took the fake knife coin outside the inn, and carefully observed the fake knife coin in a well-lit place, and found that its color was no different from before, and it was still shining golden. In the end, Jiang Xuan bent the counterfeit knife coin with his hands, restored it to its original state, bent it again, and returned to its original state. "Yes, this should be gold!" Jiang Xuan was very excited. The reason why he used so many methods to toss these two fake big knife coins just now was to verify whether it was gold or not. In terms of color, sound, color change after fire, and flexibility, it is the same as gold. Jiang Xuan thought of this, and his eyes suddenly became hot. Gold is a precious metal, and since he came to this world, he has never seen gold anywhere else, which at least shows that gold is relatively rare in the primitive continent. However, in other tribes, even if gold is found, it can only be used as a decoration, and its actual value is not high. Because it is too soft, it is not suitable for making weapons such as knives, spears, arrowheads. But in the vine tribe, it can come in handy. The advantage of knife coins is obvious, that is, it is practical and easy to be accepted by tribesmen. But its shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, the wear and tear is too fast, and it is very prone to problems such as fractures, gaps, and wear. Therefore, in the future, after the establishment of the currency credit system of the Teng tribe, it is bound to launch a second-generation currency to replace the knife currency that wears out too quickly. And gold is one of the best carriers for making money. Gold is wear-resistant, storage-resistant, easy to carry, and can solve the problems of knife coins. Because of this, Jiang Xuan was very excited when he discovered that this fake knife coin was actually forged from gold. He immediately ordered the soldiers of the guard to take the captured youth from the trading area to a nearby empty house. The young man was escorted by the two guards soldiers, looking at the empty house and trembling with fear in his heart. Making fake knife coins is a very serious crime. According to the temper of the tribe, he is likely to die. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Soon, Jiang Xuan walked in from outside with two big knife coins in his hand. "You made these two fake knife coins?" "I made them." The young man's legs began to tremble. "One of our rattan tribe's sword coins can be exchanged for more than three catties of salt. You have brought two of them now. If you really get fooled, the rattan tribe will lose more than six catties of salt!" "How precious is salt, Don't I need to say more? You are going to deceive our Vine tribe so much salt in one fell swoop, you said to yourself, how should I punish you?" The young man's legs trembled even more, because he knew in his heart that such a big sin , I am afraid that my life is not saved. Jiang Xuan said again: "However, I am very interested in the materials you use to make fake knife coins. If you can bring more, maybe I will consider saving your life." Jiang Xuan said these words, Not only the young man was stunned, but Mallow and others next to him were also stunned. No one thought that Jiang Xuan would actually say such a thing. "What you said is true?" The young man's face was full of disbelief. Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Of course it's true, I swear in the name of the leader of the Teng tribe." "That's great!" The young man was excited to save his life. If he can live, who wants to die? Jiang Xuan continued: "If you can come up with the materials for making ten large knife coins, the Veng tribe will not be held accountable for making fake knife coins. If you can come up with more materials, you can even directly contact the Veng tribe. Make a deal." "Make a deal?" The young man looked at Jiang Xuan in amazement. "That's right, I can exchange two small knife coins with you for the material to make a fake big knife coin. After changing to real knife coins, you can trade what you want in the trading area openly." The young man thoroughly He was stunned, he never thought that not only was he not killed this time, but such a good thing happened. For a time, he felt as if he was dreaming, very unreal.
