The more gold, silver and copper coins on the mainland are minted, but the population is also growing, and the currency in the market is just enough.

Theoretically, the most frequently used silver coins will wear and tear during long-term use, resulting in a depreciation of the currency. But in fact, due to long-term use, a layer of patina will form on precious metal coins, which will invisibly protect the silver coins.

As for gold coins, gold will not rust, even if the gold coins a year ago still shine. This is also the reason why gold is expensive.

Because precious metal currencies do not depreciate, the annual interest rate of small private lending on the mainland is about 4%. The annual interest rate of commercial lending is three%. The loan interest rate among aristocrats is even lower, with only two% annual interest rate.

Even if there is a super low annual interest rate of 2% and a few hundred or thousands of years, there is still a high interest income.

Moreover, the money is not very useful in Link's hands, it is just used as a reserve. As for these nobles, even if they lose their territory, their titles will not be lost unless the Holy Empire is destroyed.

The size of the Holy Empire is dozens of times that of the Murphy Kingdom, and accounts for one-quarter of the population and territory of the continent. If something really happens, it will be almost a huge disaster for human society. The elves of the Holy Empire will not be able to see the demise of the Holy Empire like this.

In the 1001th year of the new calendar, the gold coins in his hands were in a state of continuous decline. Marquis Susan Raphael, the Marquis of Raphael, was able to get 10,000 gold coins a month. This was not all for the sake of the prodigal family, but to support the scene of Marquis of Raphael.

The Raphael family had a Marquis who could spend money, which only shows that the Raphael family had good financial conditions.

For a high-ranking nobleman of the marquis level, he could cut off his head and lose money, but he could not lose his pomp. Now in the Marquis Raphael's house in the imperial capital, there are only 500 second-class maids, more than 100 chef teams, 450 third-class maids, 80 gardeners, and 120 grooms and coachmen. Because there are enough people, everyone does not have to do very heavy work. Most second-class maids can only complete the day's work in two or three hours a day.

In order to make up for some of the spent gold coins, Link asked the second housekeeper to hire a carriage, took out the gold, silver and copper ore he had plundered in the demon ant nest, and sent it to the Royal Mint in the imperial capital.

As a nobleman, Link's entire family cannot use copper coins, and the vegetables he buys every day are settled according to silver coins, and there is no need to find any fractions. There are still many silver coins in the silver treasury that they have not spent, so there is no need to worry about a shortage.

Therefore, Link exchanged all of this batch of gold, silver and copper ore into gold coins, and the one he got back was 1.2 million gold coins. Without counting the more than 800,000 gold coins in the vault at home, Link still had about 5 million gold coins. Adding to the large amount of silver coins in the vault, Link can use nearly 6 million gold coins now. The working capital of this number exceeds that of most old nobles.

This time, I also want to clean up my storage wrist guards. Even high-purity precious metal ores are not as good as gold coins to save space.

Showing your money to the outside world will bring you a reputation, and all kinds of people who want money will come to you. Of course, there are many scammers among them. Wanting to rob a legendary strongman is basically a search for death, but legendary strongman does not necessarily understand various scams and traps.

For example, today, after counting the gold coins, Link met a merchant recommended by a certain Count.

Since the businessman named Garcia sat down, he has been talking about his business.

According to Mr. Garcia himself, this is an antique businessman who often acquires some of the most famous works of art in history and sells them.

This time Mr. Garcia brought him a bronze statue, which was not too big, and weighed more than thirty kilograms and weighed more than one foot. The bronze statue was a bronze statue of a holy spirit. According to Mr. Garcia, this bronze statue was a bronze statue of the mother of the first queen of the Holy Empire.

Of course, the mother of the first generation of queen is no longer in this world, but she is not dead. She is mysteriously missing. After ten thousand years, if you want to see the true face of the first generation of queen mother, you can only rely on the portraits and statues left by the past.

The portraits of the first generation of the empress's mother are only preserved in the palace of the Holy Empire, and no matter how capable you are, you can't find it. However, the first generation of the Holy Empire, Empress Bere, cast a batch of bronze statues for her mother to commemorate her mother.

Moreover, this batch of bronze statues is a natural version. This so-called natural version refers to people who are naked and naked - they are born wearing clothes and have never been born.

In carving art, clothes basically do not exist. People prefer to see the natural beauty of human beings rather than the beauty of clothing - because the popularity of clothing will always be outdated. Statues with single colors cannot show the colorfulness of clothing.

These bronze statues were given to all the nobles in the country by the first generation of Queen Bele.

The rise of the Marquis of Raphael's family was still two thousand years ago, and it was far away from time to time, but from the history of the Holy Empire, it was still one of the newly rising nobles. Of course, it was impossible for such items to be found in the family.

Link got started with the bronze statue. The bronze statue was clean and there was a layer of patina left behind by playing with it all year round. It looked like an old object. The woman or the holy elves on the bronze statue were also lifelike.

"How much?"

Garcia cleared her throat: "Not expensive, 50,000 gold coins."

If Link is a real sucker, he will buy it directly without bargaining, because real nobles will not bargain. The price is just a number for wealthy nobles. You have to buy something you like as long as you have a price.

Unfortunately, Link worked hard from the bottom and didn't eat this set: "It's too expensive, 5,000 gold coins. I can accept this price."

Garcia: "No, no, no, I spent more than 5,000 gold coins to acquire this bronze statue. This bronze statue is absolutely worth 50,000 gold coins. Although these bronze statues are not lonely, no one can sell them."

In the following time, one of the two refused to lower the price and the other refused to increase the price, so they had to end the transaction. Garcia left with the bronze statue.

However, for Link, seeing this bronze statue is similar to buying it. At the level of Link, he basically has the ability to remember everything. Because after playing it once, he can now make a bronze statue with equal proportion or equal proportion magnification by himself.

This is the confidence that Link refused to increase the price. History is really not important to Link. He is a nouveau riche. Everyone knows that why do you have to make some expensive antiques to increase your own background? It is unnecessary.
