Suhlen decided to support the centaur tribe. After all, if the centaur tribe lost, the orc tribe would take over their territory.
Suhlen's territory directly bordered the orc tribe. He didn't want to fight against an orc tribe with tens of thousands of people at this time. Maybe he would wait for another two years, when he had enough soldiers, and then he would fight against these big tribes.
Orcs and humans were also enemies. In the past, it was humans who worked with the dwarves and elves to drive the orcs to those areas with bad environments. Over the years, the orcs all over the continent never gave up and returned to those rich lands.
If Suhlen's territory bordered the orcs, they would definitely attack his territory. But now that the centaur tribe was in front of him, Suhlen's territory could develop in peace.
Suhlen used the gold he got from trading with the centaurs to make coins. He mixed some copper and other metals into the 300 pounds of gold. Suhlen even built a coin workshop for this purpose. The workshop wasn't big, but Suhlen let Chris manage it to make sure the workers didn't embezzle anything.
With a succubus who was an expert at manipulating people, Suhlen didn't have to worry about the workers embezzling his money. In addition to the gold coins, the Coin Workshop also minted copper and silver coins. Gold coins were used for large-scale trade and were rarely circulated in the hands of commoners.
Silver and copper coins were the main currency in circulation. With the development of the Northguard Castle, Suhlen clearly noticed that the amount of money in his territory was a little insufficient.
In fact, there was no other way. The number of freemen in Su Lun's territory was too small. Most of them were his serfs, so there was no need for currency circulation at all. It was also because of the trade caravan that the number of freemen began to increase. Coupled with the increase in the number of refugees, all kinds of products were abundant, and the circulation of materials in the territory gradually increased.
Due to the shortage of copper and silver Nars, Northtown Castle had to barter most of the time, which made it difficult to set a price for the goods. What's more, it was very inconvenient to trade. Therefore, Su Lun began to make copper and silver Nars after noticing this.
There were many types of currency in this world, and there was no unified currency. The exchange rate between countries was also different. It was very troublesome for merchants from different countries to exchange currencies. If they didn't clearly state which currency they were using during the transaction, it was very likely that they would be cheated.
Therefore, those merchants who did international trade were very familiar with the currencies of various countries. It was not easy to become an international merchant. Even in modern society, there were counterfeit currencies. Naturally, there were counterfeit currencies in this era as well. For example, brass was used to pass off as gold.
In fact, what was more troublesome was the inferior currency. Originally, the difference in gold content between different countries was already a headache. However, there were also some privately minted gold coins. Most of these privately minted gold coins were lower in gold content than the original currency. Naturally, it was more difficult to settle the transaction.
The Kingdom of Florence used a Kinnar, Silver, and Copper exchange rate. One Kinnar could be exchanged for twenty Silver Nars, and one Silver Nar could be exchanged for twenty Copper Nars. Although it was a little troublesome, it was still acceptable. However, the exchange rate of some countries made people want to kill the people who set the exchange rate.
For example, the desert kingdom northwest of Florence used a gold coin for twelve Silver Nars, and one Silver Nars for twenty Copper Nars. People who were not good at math would make mistakes when shopping on the street. There was also the exchange rate in the hexadecimal system, which was even more frustrating.
In fact, the Goddess of Wealth in this world issued a standard gold coin. However, these gold coins were mostly circulated in the south of the continent and in the areas where sea trade was popular. The exchange rate of the Goddess of Wealth's gold coins was decimal. There was no temple of the Goddess of Wealth in the Kingdom of Florence yet.
Of course, Su Lun was not stupid enough to use this method of exchange. If he was not worried that those merchants would not accept it, he would directly change the ratio of gold Nar to silver Nar to copper Nar to ten. The simpler the exchange rate, the more convenient it was for ordinary people to use.
In order to make the circulation of goods in the territory smoother and more prosperous, Suhlen directly asked the craftsmen to make 100,000 Copper Nars. It just so happened that he obtained a lot of bronze weapons when he wiped out the gnolls and kobolds. These things could be used to make coins.
At the same time, he also made 10,000 Nars. These coins would be distributed to the refugees as remuneration for their labor. In fact, the coinage industry was very profitable. After all, the gold and silver content in gold and silver coins were not pure.
Hathaway had already finished making the leather armor and cloaks made of the Stormwind Tiger's skin. The five scouts each received a cloak, and the remaining one was given to the captain of the archers in the war spirits. The twelve leather armor were rewarded to the barbarians.
With these cloaks, the scouts' detection ability and survival ability were greatly improved. Camouflage allowed them to scout closer, and Haste and Featherfall allowed them to escape faster.
The barbarians who received the leather armor put it on under their iron armor. This way, not only could they use the enchantment effect of the leather armor, but they could also gain the defense of the iron armor. With Haste and the barbarians' charging ability, the speed of the barbarians was already faster than that of a horse.
If they were to face the Centaurs now, with the speed of the Barbarians, they would be able to catch up with them easily. In close combat, the centaurs were not a match for the barbarians at all. Not to mention, the 12 barbarians had already leveled up to the peak of their profession, Greataxe Berserkers.
Suhlen had always been vigilant against the centaurs. In this wasteland, even the humans could not be trusted too much. What if one day, the Centaurs and the Orcs suddenly reconciled, and both sides turned against him?
The barbarian warriors who got the new equipment were very proud and arrogant. Sometimes Su Lun couldn't help but want to kick them.
After driving the barbarians out to patrol, Suhlen went to the incubation room to check on the Cryopterus eggs. Ever since the Cryopterus eggs began to hatch, Suhlen would come here every day to check. At the same time, he would also replenish the Cryopterus eggs with ice elemental stones.
After a period of incubation, the inside of the incubation room had changed greatly. The 150 square meter incubation room had turned into a world of ice and snow, which was the best environment for Cryopterus to hatch.
