“How’s the exchange going these days?”

On the third day after the issuance of the new currency, Roland convened a ministerial meeting in the castle conference hall, the main content of which was to discuss the feedback of currency reform.

As a person from the past, he knows how difficult it is to break a tradition that has lasted for thousands of years, and any one link can cause an avalanche.If the new currency falls, the Executive Hall ... and even the prestige he has accumulated for a long time will be seriously damaged.

"Less than expected, Your Majesty."Barov seems to be more relaxed, "three days of exchange amount of less than a thousand golden dragons, considering that the New Deal was often the most volatile in the early days, after the vault should also be fully able to meet the demand."

In order to prevent the run, the number of banknotes issued in the first batch is equal to the total salary of the month, and even if it is converted in full, it can be delayed for two months.But if that happens, it would essentially mean the plan is bankrupt.

"I think you are worried," said the old man, smiling with his beard, "to exchange new coins for old coins is equivalent to a white loss, and most of the people will not act precipitously."

“But it cannot be assumed that the people accepted the new coin in this way,” said Agriculture Minister Seni Dali cautiously, “and I have found that the recent food sales in the convenience market have been much higher, along with all kinds of dry goods and spices.”

No increase in transactions?Roland faltered, and after a while he reacted.

It turned out that he could not help but laugh, and the people did not want to bear the loss of fees when the situation was unknown, so he exchanged the safe-haven for other necessities - and in the past, food was indeed often used as a general equivalent.As for dry goods and seasonings, a major feature is not to store for a long time, and will it always be used later?

He seemed to have a familiar advertising word in his mind... paper for food, can't buy a loss, can't buy a success, what are you waiting for?

But it also reassured Roland.

It is unrealistic to let people change their minds in just a few days, but if the performance is only to switch to the purchase of goods, the administrative department is hardly any pressure.For example, wheat, eggs and cheese, the production of winter-free city is enough to meet the consumption of the whole western region.After three months, the coffers will be able to get a new round of sales by the United Chamber of Commerce, and then the big picture can be said to be determined.

“Let them buy.”He told Seni, "You must look at it now, there is no sign of shortage in the market, as long as the prescribed personal ceiling is not reached, they want to buy whatever they want."

The goods of the convenience market are all necessities of life, which can also be regarded as a store controlled and operated by the state, and need to be purchased with an identity card.As long as those businessmen with a lot of capital are not allowed to intervene, short selling will not happen.

“Follow me, Your Majesty!”

“How did the other businessmen react?”

"Back to your majesty," Barov said, "the merchants in the winter-free city are vaguely divided into two factions, the merchants from all over the continent are still on the sidelines, many shops are announced to close down, you see if you want to..."

Can't refuse to accept the new currency and just close the door?Roland shook his head, "Fang can't help but, the lease of the store has not yet arrived, whether the business depends on their own."What about the other party?”

"The big chambers in the fjord did not have much reaction and were still operating as usual.But I have received letters from many fjord merchants asking whether the cost of the steam engine and the Ming steamer can be paid for in the new coin, and I have responded in good faith at your request."

There was a sound in the living room.

Obviously, everyone was quite surprised by this situation, in their eyes, the domestic merchants actually lost to overseas merchants in support of the king, it is simply to lose the face of the gray castle.

Roland was unconcerned.

It seems that in accepting new things, Haimin really wants to be more active, and when the steam engine was introduced, Magri was also the fjord man who first expressed great interest and provided the first barrel of gold for the industrial development of the border town.

“But . . . there are exceptions,” Barov coughed twice, “and instead of closing down a clothing store called Rainbow Stone, it carried out a discount campaign to celebrate the issuance of the new currency — and, according to my men, the residents who went to buy clothes were almost full of the long street.”

Roland blinked his eyes, then laughed out... the one who took the initiative to come to the door and asked for cooperation with the leaves of Victor Losa?

Should we say that the other person is bold, or do they really understand their own ideas?

"Very well," he said, looking to the Minister of Propaganda Honey, "to make a special report on this, where faith is more important than gold."

“Understood.”Nod the honey nods.

"Yes, your majesty . . . confidence is more important than gold."Edith, who had been listening, suddenly said, "Beware of the deliberately fabricated rumors, and I think they will be coming soon."

“What do you mean?”Barov frowned, “Is there anyone else deliberately trying to be bad for the new currency?”

"It is normal, the profit of the policy has been damaged, such as those who do not want to accept the paper money of the merchants, or simply want to shake the foundation of his majesty's unrighteous people ... you do not think that after only two years, the nobles who once had so fiercely quarreled, really suffocated?"

“Eh—” The boss said for a moment.

Of course they did not, Roland knew, they were just temporarily dormant, as long as they showed their decline, this group of people would still show their tusks.

Even if the devil is in the city.

"Don't worry, honey and Asha will pay attention to me."

"And me -- the mining areas of the Westland will never be too much."There was a cold voice in the hall, and although it was only heard that no one could see it, no one thought it was a joke.

Roland looked around at the crowd, “Listen, this is just the beginning.After the stabilization period of the first few months, the currency reform should be extended to the whole country as soon as possible, and the circulation of the golden dragon should be completely replaced at the level.This is of great significance for winning the battle of God’s will, and you still need to work hard!”

“As you wish!”And the people spoke together.

“Your majesty...” Barov, when he came down, hesitated, “will it be time to make so many paper money in a few months?”

"The current amount just can replace the salary, does not mean that its production capacity is only a little, you don't have to worry about this."Roland returned.

Although the paper money is just a piece of paper, the technical content is a new peak in Winterfell.Considering that the golden dragon and silver wolf accumulated for thousands of years is a huge number, he did not consider leaving Soroya alone to carry this burden from the beginning.In terms of paper, the new coin is included in a certain proportion of rubber insect mucus in the pulp, which has a high degree of flexibility after drying and forming, and is not easy to tear or lose;

Anti-counterfeiting denominations made of tinfoil will be embedded in advance when paper is made - and this technology that makes metal tin as thin as a cicada wing is only available in Winterfell;

The production is printed with a new roller printing machine, the pigment is provided by the dark clouds, the sword is combined, the color is bright and durable, compared to this era of plants, mineral dyes is much better, the duration is enough to support the next round of currency replacement.

It can be said that whether it is taking into account production efficiency or imitation, the new coin is the best, the witch only supplies raw materials, and the production can be handed over to ordinary people, which makes it not encounter any threshold when it is mass-produced.

The smooth issuance of banknotes was a matter of relief for Roland, and since the city of no winter has been rich, the rest is naturally how to turn these resources into productivity.

“I intend to add a number of projects, about 20,000 to 20,000,” he said to the head of the Executive Council, which in the past was comparable to the total population of a main city. “Barov, you and the ministers of the relevant departments have determined the specific distribution plan.”

“Yes.”

“First the chemical department—” Roland looked toward Camo Ströer.

It is clear that it is time to further expand the production of all kinds of gunpowder.
