Chapter 19 The Charm of Gold Coins

Even in the city, a gold coin can allow the family to live a solid life for a month.

An ordinary city employee, fortunately working hard for a year, earns only 50 kilde gold coins.

This means that Eugen alone has the wealth equivalent to the income of dozens of employees' hard work for a hundred years.

"It's not enough..." Eugen murmured these three words when he heard Rambo's report.

When Rambo heard Eugen's words, he thought he had heard it wrong. These gold coins were an extremely objective wealth, almost enough to support a small war, but the evaluation in Eugen's mouth was not enough?

What do you mainly buy? It costs so much.

Just at this time, dozens of Viscount Dham Tast's personal soldiers walked in from outside the camp in groups of two, carrying rectangular iron boxes.

These boxes looked very heavy, and the personal soldiers in charge of transporting them were clenched tightly, as if they had already used all their strength. Viscount Dam Tast soon followed the boxes, and behind the Viscount was also followed by the merchant Owen Ross, both of them looked smiling.

After the box was placed on the ground, the Viscount walked forward in person and uncovered the lid one by one. The light outside shone into the box, and the golden luster reflected. These boxes seemed to be specially made for placing currency. There were inch-square tic-tac-shaped intervals inside, and pieces of Kild gold coins were neatly stacked in these squares.

A tin box, when filled with it, happened to be ten thousand Kielde gold coins. The five-neck box is the cash paid by Viscount Darmatt for this exchange.

Gold seems to have a certain magic innate way. When tens of thousands of gold coins are placed in front of you, the intuitive impact is too strong. Eugen had never seen so much gold placed in one place. At this moment, he suddenly saw it, as if he was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer in the chest, and his heart seemed to have temporarily stopped beating.

"General Eugen, this is my 50,000 Kielde gold coins. Do you want to count it?" Viscount unveiled the lid of the iron box one by one, and the golden luster covered the entire military tent. The flowing brilliance seemed to have life, revealing a kind of charming beauty.

The eyes of Viscount Darmttast's personal soldiers were involuntarily moving to the gold coins, with an unconcealed desire in their eyes. Even Rambo and Corion were slightly squinted, but fortunately they could still control their behavior.

With a gurgle, Eugen swallowed a saliva, walked quickly to the box, reached out to pick up a few gold coins from the box. The cold, hard but smooth touch was heavy in his hand, and his hands were sank down, and his heart seemed to sink as well.

"No need, no need to count it. These gold coins are really beautiful." Eugen whispered as he looked at the gold coins in his hand.

The imperial double eagle emblem on the gold coins is clearly visible, and the portrait of the founding emperor of the Empire on the other side is also vivid, indicating that these are brand new coins, which have not been used much, and are of sufficient quality.

Owen Ross, who was standing behind the Viscount, also walked forward, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "Dignity Lord Eugen, this is my 50,000 Kielder gold coins."

What Owen Ross took out was a letter stamped with his seal and signature. The contents of the letter were written by the great businessman last night, proof of the extraction of 50,000 Kielder gold coins.

This kind of letter-like proof is somewhat similar to later checks, but it is not guaranteed by the bank, but by Owen Ross' own credibility.

With this certificate, as long as you go to a shop under Irving Rose's name, you can withdraw the corresponding currency. In other words, the value of this thing depends entirely on Irving Rose's personal reputation and economic strength.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a white note set by Owen Ross. Nowadays, some famous figures in the empire and even in the entire European region often take this method when making large payments.

After all, gold coins also have weight. Few people will carry a large amount of gold coins on their bodies when they go out.

According to Eugen, the great Owen Roth merchant himself had a good reputation. His shop crossed national borders, from the west coast of the Mediterranean to the shore of Lake Baikal in the east. He was also a jazz in England and could be treated in the Holy Roman Empire.

Based on these conditions, Eugen would naturally accept the checks he issued. On the premise that the exchange is guaranteed, this kind of check is indeed much more convenient than real gold coins. Although the gold coins are very beautiful and look very attractive, if you want to take them away, you will probably have to escort them with a team of soldiers.

Therefore, after Eugen took the letter from Owen Ross, he said at the right time: "Mr. Owen Ross' reputation is naturally trustworthy. In addition, if it is convenient, can you send these 50,000 gold coins to you. Then give me a proof. If possible, it will really help me."

I have to say that the gold coins sent by the Viscount were so tempting that Eugen felt that he could not take more. Maybe he would take a look at them for two more times, so he was too lazy to care about the Black Death. He took these gold coins to a certain corner in the east and lived his free life comfortably. No matter how hard the Black Death disease was, it would not be ravaged by his head.

Hearing Eugen's words, Owen Ross showed a clear smile on his face, and then took out another letter of certificate from his arms. The same amount of 50,000 gold coins seemed to have been written early in the morning.

"When Viscount Darmtst talked to me about this, I guessed that General Eugen might have such a need, so he had prepared in advance. This is a certificate of 50,000 Kielde gold coins written with the previous certificate. Please read it."

As he said that, Owen Ross respectfully handed over the voucher. Eugen took it over and glanced casually. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the content above, he received it in his arms.

"Mr. Owen Ross is indeed a gentleman. He is indeed considerate. I really have to thank you very much for your help this time."

"Nothing is there? General Eugen is really big and courageous. I am just a businessman, and I am far from you."

The two of them praised each other again and again. Viscount Damtast also interjected a few words from time to time, but neither of them had any substantive content.

Soon Owen Rose showed his intention to leave, and Eugen naturally stopped trying to keep him and sent him and Viscount Dum Tast to leave the military tent. Viscount's personal guards lifted the boxes again and prepared to carry them to Owen Rose.
