Chapter 1789 Imperial Gold Banknote

Time flies, Joan has been living in Cloud City for three months. During this period, he is busy learning spells and mythological enchanting crafts, reading ancient books in the library, and promoting the construction project of the gold statue. Research experiments, writing papers, life is busy and fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of May in 1623, Midgard University had already started school, but Joann still didn't come back. Professor Moriarty was worried that his only student would encounter an accident, so he sent several "short messages" to contact him .

Cloud City is located at the intersection of the "Elemental Air Plane" and the "Elemental Plane of Water", commonly known as the "Elemental Cloud Realm". Magic letters from the material plane may be swallowed by space-time turbulence when crossing the barriers of the planes. The letter cannot be delivered.

Joan encountered such an accident.

He didn't receive the first two letters from his mentor, but the third letter was finally delivered smoothly.

In the letter, Professor Moriarty asked him where he was and if he was okay, but Joan could taste the teacher's concern from the seemingly ordinary greeting, and was moved and felt deeply guilty for not taking the initiative to report to the teacher that he was safe .

On the afternoon of May 9, when she received the teacher's letter, Qiao An packed her luggage, bid farewell to the old man of the ancient book and the siblings with the activation spell, and cast a spell to teleport back to Midgard University.

When he arrived at the school, Joan immediately sent a letter to his tutor, briefly describing what happened to him during this time.

Not long after, Professor Moriarty sent a letter back asking him to meet at the campus gate.

Joan turned and walked towards the school gate, still muttering in his heart: "Why did the tutor ask me to meet at the gate? Isn't he in the laboratory?"

Just when he was wondering, a luxurious phantom carriage sped up and slowly stopped outside the school gate.

The car window was open, Professor Moriarty poked his head out, and beckoned to Joan.

"Mentor, you are in such a hurry, where did you come from?" Joan stepped forward to inquire.

"Stock Exchange!" Mr. Professor laughed happily.

Joan twitched the corners of her mouth and couldn't help complaining: "Didn't you say last year that you will never touch securities speculation in the future?"

"Oh! Last year was last year, and this year is this year. The situation has changed, and ideas should also change with the times! You are young, don't you have such a rigid mind, okay?" Professor Moriarty resentfully argued. .

Qiao An sighed, and asked mercilessly: "Tell me honestly, in the past year, you have spent a lot of time and had sex with girlfriends. Did you squander all the money you earned before and owe usury?"

"No!" Professor Moriarty quickly shook his head in denial.

Joan didn't believe it. He touched the storage bag and took out the checkbook.

"Teacher, I still have a little spare money here. Anyway, I don't have much chance to spend it. If you are in a tight situation, you can use it for emergency..."

"Hey! Brat, don't think about it. I'm not short of money. It's just that I recently found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune, so I put on my shirt again and went back to the exchange. Anyway, the floor is full of money. If you don't pick it up, don't pick it up!" Mori Professor Artie explained with a wry smile.

Joan stared at the instructor: "Aren't you kidding, how can money be so easy to earn?"

"My child, you are so naive. Getting rich mainly depends on chance. If you catch the wind, pigs can fly. Making money is really easier than picking up money!"

"What kind of opportunity are you referring to? Is there really any good market recently?" Joan was dubious.

"Get in the car, get in the car! Come up, let's talk slowly!" Professor Moriarty kicked the car door, his face beaming with excitement.

Joan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to board the carriage.

Professor Moriarty snapped his fingers, and the two phantom horses galloped down the street, dragging the carriage.

Lighting a pipe, taking a deep breath, Professor Moriarty said to Joan, "After the war last year, the magic crystal business under the Midgard Colonial Company was spun off, and a company directly under the imperial royal family was created. mining company, you know about this, right?"

Joan nodded: "The Royal Mining Company was established at the behest of Crown Prince Frank, and the person who directly dealt with it was Mr. John Lauer, the crown prince's financial adviser... This man is very smart and capable, but his gambling addiction is too much. Bigger."

"I don't want to comment on Mr. Raul, but I have to admit that he has done a great job in forming and managing the Royal Mining Company. Now the leadership of the mining area is his cronies, and the board of directors of the Colonial Company can't get involved at all. Go, get completely sidelined."

"I know this. I heard that the bosses of the colonial company's board of directors complained about this, and privately criticized the royal family for stretching their hands too far, robbing the colonial company of the interests that should belong to it."

Joan frowned slightly. The colonial company is not just a "company", it is actually the "shadow government" of the colony. The company has tens of thousands of employees, and the number of families involved is too many to count.

The imperial family snatched the fat of "Magic Crystal Mining" from the mouth of the colonial company, which is tantamount to offending this giant company from top to bottom, further deepening the rift between the colony and the mother country, and the impact is far-reaching and horrifying.

Professor Moriarty spit out a string of smoke rings, and said lightly: "The conflict between the Colonial Company and the Royal Mining Company is none of our business. You just need to know that the operating performance of the Royal Mining Company in the first quarter of this year is very good. rich."

"In the eyes of John Lauer, the Royal Mining Company itself is just a 'lever'. He wants to use this lever to pry the financial foundation of the entire Ashan Empire and set off a wild financial revolution."

"At the beginning of May this year, the imperial government announced the issuance of banknotes with the assets of the Royal Mining Company as collateral, replacing the traditional gold and silver coins with this so-called gold banknote, thus stepping into the 'paper currency era'."

"In fact, John Raul is not the first person to reform the currency system. Just last year, the Kolas government in the Far East has successfully completed the reform of replacing the old coins with new coins. The new currency denominated in 'thaler' It has been in circulation for more than a year, and prices in the Far East have not fluctuated greatly, and in international trade, Far East Jintale is more popular with merchants than the less-than-quality Imperial Kindurga."

"Because the currency reform of the people in the Far East was too smooth and successful, and there was almost no voice of resistance among the people, the imperial authorities finally made up their minds to implement a series of currency reform policies that were more radical than those of the Far East rebels. The financial crisis caused by successive years of deficits led to the emergence of imperial money."

Joan was stunned when he heard that, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and questioned Professor Moriarty:

"However, banknotes are just a piece of paper after all, and have no value in themselves. Is there really anyone willing to exchange real money for banknotes?"
