Chapter 1255:Monetary Reform

Roland walked through several layers of guarded gates into the vault room of the castle district.

During the border town, all the golden dragons were filled with a few boxes, and the basement of the castle was enough to stop the funds to maintain the operation of the whole town.Since the sale of steam engines and other magical creatures, income has risen steadily, and soon reached an alarming point, which can not be described as a daily bucket.

The land also increased in large expenses, and in order to facilitate access to the Executive Office, he ordered a special vault in the middle of the castle and the office.Although the security is strict, as long as the formalities are in accordance with the norms, the heads of various departments can enter the vault to withdraw funds, which also caused a heated discussion at that time.After all, the nobles who took out all the "own wealth" to build the territory were almost none, not to mention allowing outsiders to enter and exit.

But at that time, except for Barov's slightly knowledge, the rest did not know that Roland did not take these hard-state coins seriously at all, and it did not matter more or less, as long as they could keep up with the needs of urban development.For a long time, the income of winterless income was greater than the expenditure, and he had not heard the report of the saving emergency for a long time.

"Sad," said Barov, who had been waiting in the treasury, "you see...our golden dragons are left with the last twelve boxes."

In general, the golden dragon in a box is about two thousand, the total is about 20,000, compared with the past piled full of warehouse, at first glance seems a bit empty.

As for the silver wolves and copper eagles scattered in the corners, they piled like a small mountain bag, but they could not be of much use.

“How long can it be?”Roland asked.

“In terms of current trends ... up to two months.”

“Worse than I thought,” he raised his eyebrows, “is it mostly spent on pay?”

“Yes, this is more than 50% of the expenditure – the population is growing too fast, and the expenditure of engineering and smelting teams is the most obvious.In addition, you hire a large number of fjord chamber of commerce ship, you spend almost four or five thousand golden dragons a month, if you stop this part, the administrative department can insist on the next joint chamber of commerce sales share -"

"Stopping nothing can stop the transporter."Roland interrupted the boss.

“Then...” Barov rubbed his hand, “I remember you said at the last meeting that there was a once-and-for-all solution... is it true?”

"You haven't forgotten," Roland laughed, picking up the whole vault.It was probably expected that there would be such a day, the vault was built quite spacious, and the windows were clear, and after the iron railings and the shelves in the house were emptied, the basic and ordinary houses were no different, and they would not feel depressed for a long time, and it was good to do the printing between the notes.“When is the next pay?”

“A week later.”

"Stop these golden dragons, and don't move for a while," he nodded, "and I'll go with you to the office, and I'll have a new department to build, and the specific charter will be there."

Although the day came earlier than expected, he began to prepare for this half a year ago.The token issued to the witch alliance and the sleeping spell is a test, if even the witch can not find loopholes, copy the paper money, then the use of paper money to replace the metal currency foundation is mature, can be put into official use at any time.

"Yes, your majesty."Barov seemed to be relieved, and it could be seen that he was really in a state of flux in the days when he had no money, and now he got Roland's approval, and the wrinkles in the corner of his eyes were soothed a little, "Yes, your majesty, what is the name of the new department?"

“The bank.”Roland returned.

...

Five days later, the bulletin board of the central square of Winter Without Winter City replaced the full new notice and caused an uproar among the residents.The Office of Administration has once again sent special personnel to preach, which has become a rare sight after universal education.

The Grey Fort Weekly also published the details of the notice on the most prominent front page - His Majesty will issue new coins to replace the Golden Dragon, the Silver Wolf and the Copper Eagle.

For a time, the streets were full of currency reform discussions.

The hotel where Victor lives is no exception.

He had planned to return to the port of Bishui after watching the magic shadow, and did not expect that the sudden appearance of the red moon had disrupted all arrangements.Panic destabilized order, and he immediately changed his plans and decided to stay here for a while—not out of loyalty to the king of the castle, but out of his belief that if the Red Moon really represented the end, it would only be worse elsewhere.When disaster strikes, the safest place on the entire continent is the city of No Winter.

As the king and queen appeared to settle, the police and the garrison fought the crime, and the order quickly calmed down.Victor was also called to investigate many times because he was a witness to the "magical alienation", but it was also considered to be a surprise.Just when he planned to get out of the gentle countryside of his maid and set off for the south, he ushered in the news of change.

And the release of this new policy has shocked him even more than the red moon.

Winterfell wants to abolish the gold coin, which has been used since the birth of the human kingdom!

As a businessman, Victor's first reaction to hearing the news is that it is impossible, and he thinks that which drunk drunk crazy words, the four kingdoms, and even overseas places, but where there are people, there is no gold as a precious thing, which is so easy to abolish?

But the newspaper that the maid bought back, and what the other party had seen and heard outside, confirmed the correctness of the news.

The first of these changes is that "Winter City will issue new banknotes to replace the existing currency."It has the characteristics of compulsory circulation, and when used according to its denomination, it must not be rejected by anyone."

This meant that the king could buy all the goods of merchants who had entered the winterless land with a piece of paper, and in a sense said that there was no problem with robbery.

“When I came back, I saw some people fleeing the city with goods,” Ling said in a low voice on the soft bed, with a little worry in his tone, not knowing whether he was worried about the Rainbow Stone’s clothes being bought, or whether he was worried that he was flying like the rest of the people.

Victor laughed bitterly, and the maid did not know that she had actually been tied to the king of the gray castle, and without the seeds provided by Miss Leaf, there would be no rainbow stone now.

No matter what happens, he can't easily abandon the industry of Winter City.

And, with his knowledge of Roland Wimbledon, these policies will sooner or later spread throughout the kingdom.

Coupled with the other side's business acumen is no less than any big businessman in the morning, the situation is not so bad that it needs to be robbed to maintain the situation, and it should not be sudden.Thinking of this, Victor sank his heart, and then looked down—

Articles 2 and 3 are related to people's livelihood.

“Winterless work will be paid in the form of paper money."

“The Department of Administration and the convenience market for goods, including, but not limited to, food, shelter, etc., accept only banknote transactions."

Article 4 obviously takes into account the number of new coins.

"The Executive Office will provide equal exchange services for new and old coins for a long time, and residents can exchange their gold dragons, silver wolves and copper eagles for paper money of equivalent value at any time, and can also exchange the latter for the former."When exchanging new coins for old coins, the Administrative Department will charge a 5% handling fee."

Victor is vaguely aware that there seems to be something deeper hidden in this...

The last one seems to have been created specifically for foreign businessmen.

"In addition, merchants who have obtained the permission of the Department of Administration and legally operate can be exempted from the handling fee of currency exchange by declaring their identity.""
