Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Mark Status

"So for the sake of the people, I must dig out the food and various resources they have stored in the Kingdom of Cleveland bit by bit." Aslan said righteously.

But soon, Nuomiri rolled her eyes directly.

Because it's easy to say, but impossible to do.

The amount of various resources that the Maxim Federation reserves in the Kingdom of Cleveland cannot be described in numbers at all, and can even affect the price of the entire Kingdom of Cleveland, but they dare not do that because they are afraid that they will be in a hurry at the end. table.

However, if the price is raised appropriately in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Kingdom of Cleveland will be helpless.

After all, they have no confidence, let alone macro-control.

As for grain storage, based on the experience of Aslan's two rebirths, Sino Continent is not active in agricultural development because of its high grain yield, and it has no habit of storing grain.

Except for some large agricultural provinces, they will more or less reserve some, but that is not their intentional reserve, but they cannot be sold.

Aslan returned to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce and continued to wait and see. The exchange rate of gold coins in the black market was getting faster and faster. In the end, the marks couldn't bear it anymore, and finally stretched the price of marks.

In order to ensure the strength of the mark and fight against the gold coin, it is impossible to rely on the existing gold standard, so they must find new commodities to stabilize the mark.

Among them, food and steel have become the new favorites, and of course the magician's expensive magic crystal is indispensable here.

Early the next morning, Aslan called Yitzhak to the Royal Academy of Magic, and he passed a piece of information to Aslan.

Aslan's eyes narrowed involuntarily at the first glance.

The Maxim Federation and the four largest grain-producing countries and the three largest steel-producing countries in Sino Continent have formed strategic cooperation allies with magic crystal developers across the mainland.

These countries and the major developers of magic crystals have issued a statement at the same time. Any country that wants to trade these three materials with China must have Mark currency reserves.

"It's troublesome now." Aslan said with a serious face.

Yitzhak nodded, this time even Joshua attended the meeting this time.

Aslan took a sip of water and said, "The Maxim Federation intends to forcibly implement the mainland currency and make the mark the number one currency in the mainland."

"Does this have any effect?" Yitzhak also realized that something was wrong, but he didn't understand what went wrong.

Aslan remembered that in his previous life, it would take more than ten years for the Maxim Federation to implement the commodity mark currency system. After all, they still don't have enough commodity reserves.

"The Commodity Mark currency system will bring unimaginable benefits to the Maxim Federation. When the Maxim Federation encounters debts and foreign trade deficits, it only needs to start printing machines to print Mark coins to solve these problems and maintain the national economy. Balance. In this process, the Maxim Federation only needs to pay a very small printing cost, but the printed marks have the same purchasing power as other marks in the market, which may cause inflation in other countries the result of."

Hearing this, even Joshua was not calm.

"The plan of the Maxim Federation must not be allowed to succeed." Joshua said decisively.

Aslan shook his head and said, "This is difficult. The Maxim Federation should have been planning for many years."

"Is there no other way?" Yitzhak asked nervously.

"It's not impossible! Markcoin has risen strongly, but its position is not unshakable. The role of the Maxim Federation as a financial hegemon and world policeman in the continent over the years has made many countries unhappy. Most countries Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, but other grain and other steel exporting countries increase production and still maintain the strength of gold coins, which can completely overwhelm the Mark coin. After all, gold coins are made of gold after all, and Mark coins are printed out of paper. of."

Aslan said with a strange face.

Joshua's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "This is very simple. As long as the kingdom's food production is increased, as long as the food does not rely on imports, part of the dependence on the mark can be completely solved, but what should be done with the excess food."

After Joshua finished speaking, he looked at Aslan with piercing eyes.

Aslan smiled helplessly.

"The breeding industry can be vigorously developed, and the extra grain can be used to breed all kinds of livestock. Enough meat can greatly improve the health and fitness of the people."

Yitzhak's eyes lit up after hearing this, but soon he shook his head again.

These things are easy to say, but very difficult to do.

The grain output of the Sino Continent is indeed very high, but the farming technology is very backward, and it is completely dependent on the sky. Almost more than 90% of the farmland is built on the banks of rivers or lakes, so as to ensure sufficient water.

Mills have indeed become popular in Kyoto, but regarding waterwheels, there has been no significant development.

This is also caused by the abnormal technology tree in this world. The huge food production is enough to feed most of the population, so no one has considered agricultural technology and increasing the scale of agriculture.

Over time, it is not a simple matter to break such a bottleneck, and it is simply impossible for a magician to solve this problem.

As for those illiterate ordinary people, it is impossible to expand production, because there are such things as nobles.

Once it develops, it will definitely be plundered by the local nobles, and the nobles who seize the technology will not let this technology flow out in order to ensure the technological leadership of their own territories, even if they die, they will be brought into the grave.

Due to various reasons, the people have almost no future except farming honestly. This is also the default policy of ignoring the people by all the nobles and the country on the mainland.

Therefore, the development of magic and fighting spirit in Sino Continent has extended many professions and even special technology trees, but there has been no progress in the development of people's livelihood for more than a hundred years.

Many people even think that as long as they master the power, they are enough to crush everything.

Aslan did not continue talking on this topic, but cleverly changed the topic.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head.

Aslan is also a nobleman, and now he has stepped into the system of the great nobles. What he does in the territory is his business, and other nobles will not care, but if he dares to make random ideas and destroy the existing The aristocratic system, that will definitely become the target of public criticism.

So Aslan decided to make a fortune in silence. As for other issues, that is something their Royal Academy of Magic needs to consider.

"The first thing we need to do now is to purchase food on a large scale, so as to prepare for our future confrontation with the Maxim Federation," Aslan said.
