9 Chapter 9 The Currency of Westeros

Jason Liu looked at the hawkers with curiosity on his face, and when he walked to the salty fish stall that exuded salty, fishy and stinky smells, he almost passed out, covered his nose, and walked away quickly.

When he stopped beside a liquor dealer, the businessman who looked slightly darker but had shrewd eyes immediately raised his voice and shouted enthusiastically, trying to arouse the 'adult' passing by in front of him. attention.

"—Summer Red, the summer red wine from Earl Redwin's house in the river bay!"

"Even when His Majesty the King held a banquet, he used summer red wine to entertain nobles and important officials.

"Summer red wine, the best wine in the world! There are only two silver deer in a barrel, come and see-"

Next to the liquor seller, a businessman from the West, who was selling gold jewelry, saw Jason Liu stop, and he immediately regained his senses.

Holding a few beautifully crafted gold rings and necklaces in his hand, the Western businessman approached Jason Liu a little, with a humble smile on his face, "Sir, do you want to see gold jewelry? This is from the Western Region. Jewelry, as we all know, the underground of the Western Region is full of gold, and even Her Majesty the Queen of the Red Fort likes jewelry in the Western Region..."

That is to say, Jason Liu's clothes are very valuable. This western businessman has determined which nobleman he is, and only noblemen can afford to buy his gold jewelry. Ordinary poor ghosts don't even look at them.

Seeing that this Western businessman was going to grab business, the wine dealer next to him was unhappy and quickly greeted, "Sir, buy some villain's bar! This is the wine from Red mountain Island, only the best wine, To be worthy of your noble status as an adult,,,"

Seeing these two people are so attentive, Jason Liu immediately became interested, just as he also needed to find someone to understand the price level of the world.

So, Jason Liu began to chat with them, "You should have seen it too, right? I'm not from Westeros, but Jason-East from the Zena Kingdom in the far east, crossing the endless sea of ​​trembling before arriving here. Westeros, I don't know much about Westeros, can you do me a little favor?"

Jason-East, um, East is the East, this surname was made up by Jason Liu. In order to deal with the powerful and powerful in Westeros in the future, Jason Liu decided to make up a noble identity. He really found the Zena Kingdom he made up.

Sure enough, when they heard that he was a foreigner from a distant eastern empire, the two merchants showed stunned expressions at the same time. After all, Jason Liu's completely different looks from those of Westeros were too easy to tell apart.

With the idea that this might be a wealthy foreign nobleman who might buy some of his own goods, the two merchants kept working hard.

"Master East, the villain is Odover from the Golden Tooth City in the West. It is an honor for the villain to serve you—" Odover, the merchant in the West, smiled.

The wine dealer followed closely, expressing his goodwill, "The villain is Kunsius of the High Court of the Reach, and I am happy to serve you, Lord East from the Ceana Empire in the far east!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Odover and Quinsius,,," Jason Liu smiled at the two, then asked his own question, "I know Westeros has golden dragons, silver deers and bronze stars Three currencies, what is the exchange ratio between these three currencies? Then how much can one copper star buy?"

I didn't expect it to be such a simple question, and Odover, a merchant from the Western Region, was slightly taken aback. It seems that this adult is really new to the scene.

As a result, Odover quickly reacted and replied immediately, "My lord, in Westeros, 1 golden dragon can be exchanged for 100 silver deer, and 1 silver deer can be exchanged for 100 bronze stars. For a bronze star, you can almost buy one piece. Black bread mixed with sawdust,,,"

"—Listen, as the grain merchant over there shouted, two copper stars can buy a pound of good wheat!" Quinsius interrupted next to him.

Then he didn't forget to pick up a barrel of summer red wine from his booth, which was half an introduction and half a sales pitch, "Just like such a barrel of summer red wine from Red mountain Island, you can buy it with only two silver deer. Good deal!"

Jason Liu glanced at the small wine barrel in the hands of the wine dealer. It was a cylindrical wine barrel about 20 cm high and 20 cm wide. It cost 2 silver deer for such a small barrel!

It's not cheap!

It really is a fine wine that only nobles can afford!

Jason Liu is more concerned about the true value of Westeros currency than the luxury of summer red wine, which is obviously a consumption of the powerful.

Whether it's modern or Game of Thrones, the truest way to measure a world's currency is to look at its food prices.

And wheat is undoubtedly the common reference of these two worlds.

The purchase price of a pound of modern wheat is about 50.2 yuan.

A pound of wheat in Westeros costs 2 bronze stars.

Considering the backward productivity of Westeros, food production is certainly not as good as modern times, so food prices will also be more expensive.

If the analogy is not rigorous, about 1 Bronze Star in Westeros is equivalent to 10 yen in modern times.

1 silver deer is about 100 yen, 1 golden dragon is about 10000 yen, that's about it?

Forget it.

Knowing the currency and prices of Westeros from these two businessmen, Jason Liu almost had a bottom line, so he began to take out the commodities he wanted to trade - gel pens and paper.

"Odover, Quinsius, look at what I brought from my hometown." Jason Liu took out a gel pen and a piece of white A4 paper from his backpack and handed it to the two of them.

Odover took the gel pen with a puzzled look on his face, "This is,,, pen?!"

"Huh?!" Kunsius held the A4 paper in his hand and looked at the white and clean paper. He couldn't help but widen his eyes. He gently rubbed the paper with his fingers, showing a look of surprise, "Lord East, This,,,, this is not parchment, is it?"

"It's a gel pen from my hometown, well, like a Westeros quill, it's for writing. But it's more dipped in ink than a quill to write a few words, even a letter. It is possible to stain clothes with ink, but this gel pen does not have such a problem, it is easy to hold, easy to write, does not loose ink, and lasts for a long time,,,"

Jason Liu took the gel pen and gushed about its advantages to the two of them, "Think about it, if such a pen was sold in Westeros, those nobles, priests, monks, bachelors, merchants, absolutely Will ditch the hard-to-use quill for a more convenient gel pen!"

After finishing speaking, Jason Liu took the A4 paper and wrote directly on it with a gel pen. In just one minute, he had written more than 50 words on the A4 paper.
