This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 268
the fastest update This is the latest chapter of my original tribe!
Vine tribe, smelting workshop.
“Chichichi…”
A piece of natural gold was melted in a clay pot in a blast furnace and poured into a pottery van.
“It’s beautiful.”
Inside the coinage workshop, the owner of the workshop, White Fang, looked at Tao Fanli’s still liquid gold and exclaimed in admiration.
The melting point of gold is lower than that of copper.
Therefore, it was easy for the mint to melt it and pour the gold water into the pottery van.
Jiang Xuan also stood aside. This was the first time the Veng tribe made gold knife coins, and he wanted to witness this process with his own eyes.
As the gold gradually cools, the surface solidifies and reflects a very charming golden light.
When the golden knife coin was completely cooled, White Fang picked up a bronze hammer and smashed Tao Fan lightly, revealing the golden knife coin inside completely.
White Fang picked up the golden knife coin, flipped through it, found nothing wrong, and presented it directly to Jiang Xuan.
“Leader, look at it, can you do it this way?”
Jiang Xuan took over the gold knife coin that had just been cast, and it was much heavier than the bronze knife coin, and it felt more delicate and beautiful.
However, the bronze knife coins can be used as knives with a little polishing, while the gold knife coins cannot be used as knives.
Because it is too soft, something that is slightly harder cannot be cut, and the blade will curl.
It can be said that gold knife coins have little practical value except for ornamental and decoration as handicrafts.
However, it is an important part of the new currency system that Jiang Xuan intends to build.
Gold, because of its rarity, wear and corrosion resistance, is naturally suitable for making money.
However, currencies like gold knives have been separated from the original utility of knives.
If it can be accepted by various tribes near the Vine tribe, it means that the currency credit system of the Vine tribe has been initially established.
Bronze knife coins and gem knife coins, because of their practical value, are actually still a kind of goods, but they are only a kind of goods that are highly accepted by various tribes.
And gold, because the tribesmen have basically never contacted it before, and do not know how to use it. If it can be accepted by various tribes, it must be because of the credit of the Vine tribe.
This kind of coin can only be circulated if everyone believes that the gold can be exchanged for the required goods when the Veng tribe is obtained.
The transition from a highly practical currency to a currency endorsed by tribal credit is an extremely important transition.
Once the gold knife coins are circulated, it means that each tribe will truly change the trading habits of barter. As the leader, the Vine tribe will also gain huge benefits from the future currency system!
Jiang Xuan looked at the golden knife coin repeatedly, and said to White Fang, “It feels a little rough, and it needs to be polished again to make it smoother and more shiny.”
White Fang nodded and said, “I’ll go and polish it.”
White Fang took the golden knife coin, heated it on a lower stove, took it out with pliers, placed it on a bronze cutting board, and struck it with a hammer.
This kind of processing method was discovered bit by bit during the casting process of bronze ware. Of course, Jiang Xuan gave them a few words based on the experience of the previous life, so that they could avoid many detours.
Bronze, not only bronze, according to the needs of the utensils, there are also pure copper and other alloys of copper.
For example, copper pots are made of pure copper. After casting, they are often rough and need to be heated and polished many times to show the best results.
“Ding, ding, ding…”
As White Fang continued to heat and strike, the rough parts of the gold coin were gradually knocked flat and smooth, and the overall lines became smoother.
When he finished hitting, many fine hammer marks appeared on the gold knife coin. These hammer marks made the gold knife coin look stronger and the reflected golden light was more dazzling!
But how to polish it?
White Fang’s method is still the same as grinding a bronze knife coin, directly looking for a sharpening stone.
However, Jiang Xuan stopped him and gave him a suggestion.
“Try it with gems.”
Jiang Xuan clearly remembered that in a documentary he watched in a previous life, after the gold was made, it was polished with an agate knife.
There are many high-quality stones in the coinage workshop, which are used to make gemstone coins.
Jiang Xuan chose a gem-like knife coin made of agate without a blade, and asked White Fang to use it to polish it.
White Fang looked at the unsharp gemstone coin, his eyes a little confused.
Can this thing really make gold knife coins smoother? He had some doubts about it.
However, since it was the leader who said it, he just had to do as he did, and he didn’t need to question, and he didn’t dare to question.
White Fang took the uncut gemstone coin and scratched the surface of the gold coin with great effort.
With the continuous scraping of the gem knife coins and the gold knife coins, a magical scene appeared.
The gem coin has basically not changed, but the surface of the gold coin has become brighter and brighter. The golden color makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
The leader is amazing!
At this moment, White Fang’s admiration for Jiang Xuan rose again.
Who would have thought that with extremely hard gemstone coins, the gold coins could be polished so smooth and bright.
“Boss, it’s polished.”
When Bai Ya handed the very smooth and dazzling golden knife coin to Jiang Xuan, the whole person was in a very excited state, and his hands were shaking slightly.
Jiang Xuan took the golden knife coin, and the rough feeling before was gone, replaced by a smooth touch, and the whole knife coin was golden.
Facts have proved that high-quality stones like agate can really polish gold, perhaps not just gold, but softer metals such as copper and silver should be able to be polished.
In fact, what Jiang Xuan didn’t know was that this method of grinding with gems was not actually grinding the gold, but flattening it.
The reason is that gold has excellent ductility. As long as it is continuously scratched with a smooth and hard object, the uneven part of its surface will slowly expand and eventually become flat.
White Fang asked in a low voice, “Boss, do you want to put the Gold Knife Coins into the trading area?”
Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said, “Don’t invest in the trading area for the time being. We must first let the people of each tribe know about gold and like it.”
“After they all like gold, we will introduce gold knives and they will be more accepting.”
White Fang asked again, “Then how do we make the other tribes like gold?”
Jiang Xuan said with a smile: “Then it depends on the ability of our Teng tribe people. Starting today, some people will be selected to specialize in gold inlay technology.”
“In the future, we will put gold on all kinds of precious ornaments and precious utensils, and even precious weapons can be inlaid with some gold.”
“We want everyone to know that only precious items can be inlaid with gold. Over time, everyone will naturally recognize the value of gold.”
Jiang Xuan looked at the glittering golden knife coin again, and said, “Such a beautiful thing, I believe that the great people of various tribes will like it.”
After Bai Fang heard Jiang Xuan’s words, the admiration in his eyes became even more frenzied.
In his heart, Jiang Xuan is like an omniscient and omnipotent god.
Soon, Jiang Xuan selected six skilled people from the three workshops of pottery workshop, stone workshop and smelting workshop, and assigned them a separate room near the coinage workshop, specializing in gold inlay technology.
They fully figured out the properties of gold and figured out how to set it in various materials.
Jiang Xuan believes that it will not be long before all kinds of precious items inlaid with gold will appear in the trading area of the Veng tribe, and these items will become unique symbols of the goods of the Veng tribe.
The minting workshop also continued to produce gold knives coins, but the number of these knives coins would not be large, and they would not be put into the trading area for the time being. Instead, they would be stored for later use.
