King of Mercenaries

Chapter 300: Ada's Spring

Views:

It is not so easy to mint bad coins. First of all, you have to know the silver content of the bad coins used as raw materials. If there are many types, you need to perform complex calculations to achieve the same effect as the density of genuine Saxony silver coins. At the same time, the appearance of silver coins should not be blackened by adding too much lead, so that people can see that they are bad coins at a glance.

There is a serious shortage of mathematicians under Marin, and there is only one Ada who is good at mathematics. However, Da Vinci is now mainly responsible for painting, and Marin is unwilling to let Da Vinci know that he has made bad coins. Therefore, the final calculation turned out to be done by Marin himself...

Although Kohler can also calculate, he can only add, subtract, multiply and divide. Kohler does not understand advanced density calculations. After all, Kohler is only half-baked, and has learned some business-needed addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. He doesn't understand geometry knowledge such as square cube.

Therefore, when calculating the density of bad coins, Marin personally took action...

But after calculating a few times, Marin was also tired. After all, he is not idle, and there are still many things to do every day. So, he ordered that bad coins should no longer be bought. It is too difficult to classify and allocate bad coins.

Therefore, Marin finally decided to use Bohemian sterling silver bars directly with copper and lead. As long as the amount is calculated, the craftsman can directly feed and melt the material according to the requirements, which is much simpler. Unlike the use of bad coins, distribution calculations must be made every time according to the type and quantity of bad coins.

As for those extra bad coins, apart from not buying them, Marin also exchanged all the extra bad coins of other types. Anyway, no matter what kind of bad money it is, it always contains silver in it and has its exchange value.

However, in order to prevent others from finding out about himself, Marin naturally chose to hire some Jewish merchants to come forward when buying Bohemian silver bars. Anyway, Jewish merchants have the worst reputation, so let them bear the blame...

If the incident is revealed and someone traces the whereabouts of a large amount of Bohemian silver bars, Marin can definitely send the Jewish merchants involved to Grenada. The natives of Germany are all landlubbers, even if they want to track it down, they have to have a boat to go to America...

After formulating the relevant regulations, Marin finally took a break, and did not have to go to the mint every day to help calculate the density and control the feeding composition. Craftsmen, just weigh the silver bars, copper ingots and lead ingots according to the ratio specified by Marin, and put them in the furnace. As for the minting process, the artisans themselves handle it quite well.

After the first batch of Saxony Finneys were suppressed, everyone was surprised to find that they looked more real than real Saxon silver coins...

But Marin was not happy, he knew the truth of "too much to go too far". Therefore, he asked the craftsmen to re-carve a batch of money molds, striving to have the same appearance as the Saxon silver coins.

Then, the re-produced Saxony bad coins are almost the same as the original ones. It's just that the coins pressed by the machine are too neat, so many coins are exactly the same when they are taken out. Unlike artificial ones, they are somewhat different.

However, because the specifications and delicacy are the same as the genuine ones, and if you compare the bad coins with the genuine ones, no matter the size, appearance, or weight, they are completely the same, and the balance can't tell. Therefore, after being put into the market, it is still very popular...

For Marin's methods, the craftsmen feel amazing, but how do they know that Marin has only learned a little knowledge of physical chemistry in middle school, and knows the density of several major metals. From the known densities of the metals, is it difficult to prepare the mixture to have the same density as the Saxon silver coin? Future generations can just screw out a high school student who is not a scumbag, it can be done...

At the same time, in the villa in the east of Aurich City that was used to imprison Julius II, Da Vinci was doing a very sacred thing...

"Lisa, come on, lift your legs up and spread them apart..."

"Well, that's it, I'm going to start..."

"Hmm..." Lisa Giocondo, the prototype of the Mona Lisa, blushed...

Don’t think about it, it’s not that Da Vinci is doing shameful things with Mona Lisa, but Da Vinci is using Mona Lisa as a model and painting oil paintings...

It's just that Da Vinci asked Lisa to pose more boldly today, that's why Lisa blushed...

Since Lisa Giocondo was abandoned and brought to East Frisia with the group of Italian craftsmen, Marin threw her to Da Vinci and asked Lisa to act as Da Vinci's model.

Moreover, Marin also made a special topic, asking Da Vinci to paint an oil painting called "Mona Lisa's Smile"...

So, for more than a year, Lisa almost cramped just by smiling. Because Da Vinci drew dozens of "Mona Lisa's Smile", all of which were rejected by Marin and asked to repaint. Because Da Vinci did not draw the charm of the "Mona Lisa Smile" that Marin had seen in his previous life.

Of course, these dozens of oil paintings are also high-quality goods, all of which have been collected by Marin, collected as second-grade famous paintings, and protected by glass frames. But what makes Marin depressed is that there is no large piece of glass in this era. To make a glass frame for an oil painting, it needs four pieces of glass spliced together...

Finally, after painting 88 oil paintings, Marin stopped Da Vinci from continuing to paint "Mona Lisa's Smile". However, Lisa's modeling career is not over yet, and Da Vinci will continue to paint. However, Lisa does not reject it. Because she is now the source of income for the whole family. The whole family is counting on her to make money as a model. The remuneration given by Marin is also very high. Giving 1 shilling a day is simply the treatment of a great craftsman. Moreover, under Marin's instructions, two Mongolian doctors also cured Lisa's father. However, old Jiao Kongduo can no longer be a painter and can only recuperate at home. Fortunately, his life is no longer in danger.

In the days that followed, Marin’s requests were all kinds of strange. For a while, he asked Da Vinci to paint "The Weeping Mona Lisa", and for a while he asked Da Vinci to paint "The Angry Mona Lisa". Narissa and the two of them were tossing hard enough.

The most exaggerated thing is that after being drunk, Marin actually asked Da Vinci to paint "The Drunken Mona Lisa"...

That was the time when Da Vinci drank with Lisa, both of them got drunk, and then...the two had sex...

After that, Da Vinci and Mona Lisa actually got together and became lovers. The main reason is that the old tree of Da Vinci is blooming, and the hormones can be discharged normally, and Lisa is very beautiful, and she admires Da Vinci's talent. Plus, this has happened before. So, regardless of the age difference, the two came together... The old bachelor Da Vinci finally ushered in his own spring...

It's just that the two are still afraid to make their relationship public. Because, the two were afraid that Lisa's parents would not agree. You know, Da Vinci is a 48-year-old man, and Lisa is only 19 years old. Even Da Vinci is two years older than Lisa's father...

Da Vinci was very worried, if this matter was made public, would Old Jiao Kondo come after him with a kitchen knife...
