Chapter 1,349 The Solution to the Trap
Looking at a group of nobles like proud roses that have not been watered for too long, each one withered, a certain time traveler with a bad taste is extremely proud.
It's just that these nobles have not thought that the influence of the gold coin goddess after she completely controls the coins is actually far lower than the world where a certain time traveler comes from. Two magic words: credit standard and international settlement currency.
When the value of currency breaks away from the shackles of precious metals and becomes a wild horse, a currency with the status of an international settlement currency turns the entire world into its backyard. The so-called international pattern of one superpower and multiple powers, what establishes the status of Magnesium as a superpower is not its military strength that is arrogant among the others, nor its world-leading scientific and technological strength, but its status as an international settlement currency!
As we all know, any government that prints banknotes indiscriminately and increases the denomination and quantity of issuance will cause domestic inflation. If there is no restraint, it is not impossible for the domestic financial system to collapse. But the issuance of extra-printed magnesium knives will directly cause inflation around the world!
It's just that Magnesium Emperor, who has a leading financial position, doesn't need to make things so rough. The wolves of Wall Street have thousands of ways to do this quietly and quietly. It was just the African-American president who broke the rules and did things badly. As for the internal and external factors behind this matter, we will not go into detail.
Someone never thought that the goddess of gold coins would be given such a status. To be honest, in the minds of a certain time traveler, if there really is a god in his hometown, the person standing behind the financial world must be a devil, not a great god.
Perhaps making the magnesium knife the only currency in circulation in the world would save a lot of exploitation. However, it is impossible for governments of various countries to give up the dominance of their own economies and hand over this vital lifeline to the magnesium emperor. Besides, the reason why the financial system and institutions in my hometown are designed to be so complicated is because the designers want to profit from them. How could they simplify this thing and accept everyone's supervision?
This is not just a player-referee level, but the same person even makes the rules. In such an environment, how could that man who has three jobs not be involved? Let alone others, they can't even understand the rules, so why should they win against him?
Unlike the already dead situation in my hometown, Midi's economy is still in a fairly primitive state. More importantly, this is a world with gods!
The transcendent characteristics of gods make Ke Yin a trustworthy representative of justice. People don't need to worry about this god being corrupt, or worrying about whether this god will keep an eye on their money and do some indescribable things.
You know, there will be a wave of decentralized currency on this side of the earth, just because the target of banks is too conspicuous. Powerful people have the ability to reach in and take out a few, or find some dirty information from someone's bank usage track.
But gods are different. As the goddess of gold coins, Ke Yin certainly does not involve matters other than coins. She doesn't even have a stake in anyone, let alone let anyone reach into her kingdom of God. There is no chance for anyone to come!
In other words, Lin is very likely to make Ke Yin into a money-oriented concept and simplify it to prevent her from taking the wrong path of the earth. And if you really want to turn such a cute halfling goddess into an evil god, you can't even justify it.
Think about the sinister version of the halfling goddess, following the traces of the holy symbol to the door in the middle of the night, and then giving someone a good time... Regardless of whether it is a version that is not suitable for children, Lin felt that if that kind of thing really happened, it would really be necessary. I was thinking about finding a way to return to my hometown immediately. It's too dangerous to be in the Lost Lands. It's better to return to Earth.
But before that, Lin noticed that many of the nobles who were so shocked by him were looking at him and the elves with malicious eyes.
Faced with the look of someone who could tell what they were thinking without having to guess, Lin could only smile and said, "Do you want to capture us? Sirs. I didn't know that after your groom was captured, he used it to threaten us." Did you have any effect?"
Those nobles who were really thinking about this were suddenly startled. Did they seriously think about capturing a few mortals to threaten the gods? it works?
But there are also people who are unwilling to give up and say miserably: "Your Majesty the Magician, you have not forgotten the identity of your electorate. Maybe your life is not so important in the eyes of His Majesty."
In response to this direct threat, Lin just chuckled. Even the elves behind him didn't take such a threat seriously. This is not to look down on these nobles, but in such an occasion, the only force is in the hands of the empress. As long as she doesn't speak, no matter who wants to fight to death, they can only leave and then fight. In the meeting hall, everyone should just be obedient and scold each other.
However, facing Saint Alegria sitting on the throne, the nobles of the empire had little confidence, and they even did not want to see the empress suddenly rise up. In addition to the nobles' efforts to undermine the authority of the empress, this one also simply ignored the messages sent by the nobles, making it impossible for the nobles who wanted to take advantage of her.
So at times like now, no matter whether a big noble or a small noble tried their best to accuse someone of disasters in the empire, the empress still sat calmly without saying a word.
But the empress could hold it back, but others couldn't. The Grand Duke of Piercenza, who could barely be considered the leader of the pro-royal faction, coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what your decision is on this whole matter?"
Alegria glanced at the Grand Duke who named him. Although the other party is relatively close to the royal family, he is not lenient at all when it is time to stumble. He is just a little more restrained than others, but he is still essentially one of the hyenas.
But...should I respond? Or continue to act stupid? Besides what the man in front of her said was beyond her expectations, Alegria also wanted to know what he thought.
Because of this, the empress, who had been playing the background role in the imperial meetings, rarely spoke. She said in her unique but dignified serious voice: "Mr. Tripwood,──"
As soon as this title came out, all the nobles were uneasy. There are usually only two types of titles used by the emperor when calling people. One is nobles, who add titles to their surnames; the other is civilians. Basically, the emperor will not remember the names of such people, but directly call them their occupations, such as Soldiers, guards, maids, etc.
If you call me "Qing", you have to be very close and trustworthy to use it like this. Even though the empress came back and ascended the throne halfway, she still had a royal upbringing, and her words were very precise in formal occasions. Using it this time is like telling others directly that this magician is hers!
Many of the nobles present knew about the secret meeting in the Jade Palace. It's just that it's not a scandal or a big deal, so it can't be used to threaten the empress. So the nobles could only watch these two people perform.
"─I would like to know, what suggestions do you have for the empire's predicament?" After a pause, Alegria continued: "Ignore the position of your goddess electors for the time being, but stand on the position of the empire. What would you advise me to do?”
With this question, the nobles no longer cared about the slanderous title. They were also curious about how this man would solve the predicament at hand.
"If you ask me, the easiest way to break the situation is to start a battle with gods, kill gods, and destroy gods."
Not surprising advice at all. Just if they can do it, do they still need to ask someone? Just did it! The nobles mocked mercilessly in their hearts. The young nobleman who had been singing the opposite tune all the way said, "Why don't you tell me that another god will come to power and replace your Majesty?"
Lin directly responded and said: "If this gentleman knows something about gods, he will know that as long as he inherits the godhead, he inherits all the knowledge and power. In other words, no matter whether the goddess of gold coins remains the same as she is now, Or if someone replaces her in the future, the construction of the bank and the use of divine coins will continue. Therefore, it is useful to destroy the godhead and completely cut off the inheritance of the god of gold coins."
"Is this the only way?" Alegria said disappointedly.
"Actually, Your Majesty, it is better for you to change your mind and think about this matter than to think about how to destroy a god, or how to reach into the bank and obtain some benefits that the goddess cannot give. Think about the relationship between the empire and the empire after accepting the bank. How much benefit can our subjects get? Isn’t this good?”
The empress said without thinking: "Are you referring to the exchange difference between the old and new coins? If the bank continues to build thanks to your efforts, and people continue to exchange the old coins for Coin coins, one day the bank will It will cover the whole land, and all the old money will be exchanged. At that time, there will be no profit at all."
"Haha, Your Majesty, what you said is indeed correct. The interest rate difference on this exchange is time-sensitive. But what the bank really provides is an upgrade of economic behavior. I should have said before that the Gwana Empire's card After Grand Duke Victoria spread banks throughout his territory, in addition to the various conveniences in the dispatch of funds, have you ever thought about how much money they saved?"
Lin did not give too detailed data. In fact, he did not know the accounts of the Grand Duke of Kawei family on personnel and transportation, but this did not prevent him from using common sense prices to calculate the costs after reducing personnel expenses.
It's just because there is no need for manpower to escort funds, whether it is to collect taxes or transport money to the place where it is going to be spent. After reducing the personnel expenses of guards, a grand duchy can save a lot of money in a year.
Although the numbers are nonsense, the people present are all lords. When they compared the situation in their own territory, they immediately felt bad. People can save so much money, but they keep spending it. That is simply the most idiotic behavior!
Eventually, Lin came to a conclusion. Said: "Actually, this is like a river. When we want to go to the other side, we can only rely on a ferryman. It is definitely different from building a bridge later. After the bridge is built, the boatman may be unemployed. , that is, the convenience of the bridge promotes the communication between the two sides of the river. Isn't that good? Why should the boatman not earn the ferry fee, so he would rather set up checkpoints on both sides of the bridge, and everyone who wants to pass has to pay. In this way , wouldn’t it weaken the beauty of building the bridge?”
