As a later generation, how could Marin not know the importance of pricing power? Why did the US empire launch the Iraq War? Do you think it was to grab oil fields? After winning, they did not dig oil by themselves, but only maintained the pricing power of oil and the core position of the US dollar in oil trade.
The US dollar is bound to oil and is also the core interest of the US imperialist empire. It’s nothing more. As long as the whole world recognizes the US dollar, the US can start the printing machine and rob the world’s wealth!
The US dollar is just a piece of paper. How valuable can it be? But as long as it maintains its status as the only universal settlement currency in the world, the US can use paper to buy products from all over the world.
Many experts say every day that the US economy is not good and the trade deficit is serious. But they don’t know that people don’t care about the trade deficit at all. Because what you receive is only US dollars, a piece of green paper. What you exchange for labor and property is a piece of green paper printed by others! Who do you think is more cost-effective?
Why are prices rising all over the world? Because banknotes are constantly being printed. After accumulating every year, the total number of banknotes has increased, and the US dollar does not recycle and destroy old versions like soft girl coins. In this way, even if the number of American banknotes printed is not as good as that of China, the number of accumulated over the years is amazing. As long as the banknotes are not damaged, they can be used for decades. For decades, life, old age, sickness and death, the banknotes are still there, just keep turning back. If you die, US bills are still there, which is longer than people's life. With accumulation, prices will inevitably rise. What's more, the Americans are printing in large quantities every year...
Therefore, the United States spends a lot of military spending every year to maintain global hegemony, which is actually nothing but to maintain the US dollar!
As long as the whole world recognizes the US dollar, the US will not worry about not having a country to exchange the products it has worked hard for to exchange for green paper with the US!
With the status of the US dollar as the only foreign trade settlement currency in the world, Wall Street will control the pricing power of commodities, and the hegemony of the United States will be firm and unshakable.
The US dollar is the lifeblood of the United States. You really shake the lifeblood of others. If you don’t draw your sword, you will die. Do you really think that their missiles are toys?
In fact, I have tried once before and learned the bottom line of the United States. That is, I, Rabbit, tried to freely exchange soft sister coins and Australian dollars with Australia, leaving the US dollar aside. Then the United States was furious and directly intervened strongly, and influenced the political arena of Turkish Australia. Then, Turkish Australia, which had a good relationship with me, made a 180-degree turn and began to oppose us...
Many people don’t understand why Tuo Ao is so unwise and suddenly starts to destroy his future. In fact, this is the strong counterattack of the United States - Nimad, who wants to exchange freely with the Australian dollar. Will you exchange it for another currency next time? Want to replace the US dollar? Look at my left hook...
Let alone me, the European allies, the euro was so lively back then, and wasn’t it deliberately ruined by the United States? It was because the euro threatened the status of the US dollar that the United States directly cheated allies, and even pulled the British back to the point of rebellion and split the EU and the euro. It made a mess of the EU and the euro that were cooking oil in the early 1900s.
Therefore, the king is the king. Don’t have some money and don’t know who you are…

Marin shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. It was actually easy to get pricing power for trade with the Aztec Empire.
There is no need to learn from the United States to use huge military to maintain currency and pricing power, because the world is too closed and no other country has contacted the Aztec Empire. The Aztec Empire also lacks various commodities from the old world.
Since there is nothing, how to price it? Isn’t it the Beihai Kingdom the final say? For example, it’s reasonable for me to set a tenfold price? You Aztecs don’t know the prices of those commodities in the old world. I said that at this price, do you have any objections?
In addition, according to Clive, the Aztec Empire seemed to like good-looking glass products very much, and believed that glass is so beautiful, it should be more valuable than gold...
This is a good idea. We can exchange glass products for gold. We are not greedy, just wait for the exchange - one pound of glass for one pound of gold...reasonable...
In addition, the brass kettle brought by Clive was regarded as a gold pot by the Aztecs...
Moreover, the Aztecs believed that Clive's brass pot was more valuable. Because this thing is stronger than gold, and it is as dazzling and beautiful as gold...
This is also a good idea...
Well, we can also make some brass ornaments and utensils to exchange gold with the Aztecs. I am very kind, one for one, just like glass, and exchange it again, and it is perfect for me to exchange it, and it is not a good person...
At that time, make some brass pots, brass basins, brass pots... Come on, exchange for gold, one for another...
What? What is this brass? Well... it can't be called brass... Then learn later games, brass is called krypton gold...
Yes! It's krypton gold! Look at my brass basin... ah, it's krypton gold basin. It's big and bright, and... hard... man, krypton gold, come on, I'll suffer some loss, and exchange it for ordinary gold with you... No gold jewelry, ordinary gold sand will become...
555, I always suffer! But who asked the god Kodithuzak to let me help you... I sold it with tears and blood...
...
Thinking of this, Marin almost burst out laughing - I'm so talented!
Then, he wrote a memo - brass = krypton gold...
At that time, according to the customs of the Aztecs, they would use brass to create various vessels for them, including the emperor's crown, and also have "krypton gold".
Well, the strongest warrior of the Empire, Jaguar Warrior, no one has a "krypton gold" sword? It's very hard, harder than obsidian weapons, and not afraid of rust...
Well, it’s very interesting to use “krypton gold” (brass) to exchange for equal heavy gold...
As for silver, just exchange it for ordinary goods. Glass products are also fine, as well as cloth, sugar, salt, spices, and various jewelry gadgets... Well, there are also very important wines... These things are sold to the Aztecs at ten times the price in exchange for silver...
What? Are you worried that the Aztec Empire would cause the depreciation of gold and silver after it flowed into the North Sea Kingdom by tens of thousands of pounds of gold and tens of thousands of pounds of silver? This theory was applicable to other European countries at the same time, but there was no need to worry about it in the North Sea Kingdom. Because the total amount of goods in the North Sea Kingdom was extremely rich, and there was a lot of food and reserved wine alone. However, there was no enough currency to measure them. As long as gold and silver were shipped together with equivalent commodities, the balance between currency and commodities could be maintained without causing bad effects...
