C2796 The Magic of Gold (2/2)

Everyone loved him, everyone recognized his value, and he could even guarantee his immortality! At this time, the gold began to seep down from the altar and the imperial power. Even the commoners were controlled by the gold.

Although the amount of money gold forged had always been extremely scarce, and during the circulation of goods, its function was not as good as that of silver or bronze, but because of its rarity, gold had become the ultimate currency!

In other words, in the field of commodity circulation, gold has the final right to interpret as currency!

In the history of the human race, there had been times when the production of silver, bronze, and other metals had increased or decreased due to inflation or contraction.

In different historical periods, the purchasing power of silver, bronze and other currencies are completely different!

But gold is not affected by this law, his production has always been so stable, if not cut off then no more will be given to you, since ancient times this kind of metal stability is surpassing all money!

At this time, the humans finally reached a common understanding. It was that whoever controlled the gold would be able to control the business, and whoever controlled the business would be able to control the life vein of the humans!

The fight for gold continues, wars, tribute, business... Every country is doing everything possible to increase its gold reserves.

Humans' obsession with gold even gave birth to the profession of alchemist. The legend of the Poinsettias was spread among every race in the world!

In this game of gold, Europeans were clearly at the forefront of the world, because ancient Europe was poor and at war, and every country was forced to expand because of the pressure to survive.

How did the The Age of Great Navigation open? In the end, it was because of the Europeans' obsession with gold!

Spain and the Portuguese had carried out an extremely brutal plunder of South North America Continent. The thousand years of gold and silver that the Inca Empire had stored had been plundered completely.

The precious metal of the ship, stained with the blood of the natives, was transported to Europe, where the Spanish royal family was so rich that no country in Europe could stand in sight.

Britain was a latecomer to the gold looting game, and by the time it began to reach out to the sea, there was little gold and silver left.

Forced to do so, Britain could only strive to develop its own industries, improve its production efficiency, make its own goods more affordable, and then use them to dump in Europe.

The Spaniard crossed the Atlantic to snatch the gold, but after a few moves from the common folk, it was all taken away by the British industrial products!

This is something that cannot be avoided, who told you not to develop your Industrial Revolution? If your productivity cannot be improved, then your goods will naturally be uncompetitive.

With the same woolen cloth, the price in the UK is two-thirds your size and the quality is good. Who can compete with you in this market?

In other words, the birth of the Industrial Revolution in Britain was a coincidence because there was still Africa at that time and not much gold and silver that were already there.

And at that time, Britain did not have a fleet like the Spaniard, there was no other way but to force themselves to pollute the environment to create the Industrial Revolution.

As a result, the first time Industrial Revolution blossomed and bore fruit in Britain!

The devil hands behind his back were still gold!
