The semi-metallic currency called 'Lien' is now commonly used on the entire continent. It is a circular thin sheet made of gold, silver, copper and other precious metals mixed and pressed in a special way with special paper and a small amount of magic crystal. Figures representing face values are plotted separately. +,
Before Overlord Garselik unified the entire continent, this continent also continued to use all-metal currencies such as gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. After Overlord Garselik unified the entire continent with the help of the White Dragon King, it began to adopt some The currency reform involved was to abandon the inconvenient all-metal currency and began to promote the semi-metal currency engraved with the emblem of the Perlas Empire. Although the promotion of 'Lien' encountered some obstacles at first, compared with the inconvenience caused by the weight of metal currency, and the long process of counting and determining the quality of metal currency during transactions, it did not take much time to imprint the face value. The 'Lien' gradually replaced gold coins and silver coins and became the mainstream currency on this continent.
It's just that the currency reform proposed by Overlord Garcelik was not something he could have conceived alone. The White Dragon King who supported him behind the scenes was the real mastermind behind the birth of the currency 'Lien'. After its birth, this continent not only became more free and convenient in trade, but the entire continent also ushered in a new innovation in financial thinking.
Thousands of years later, when the Perlas Empire established by Overlord collapsed, Lien, who had lost its credit guarantee, should have collapsed directly. However, at that time, they united to overthrow the Holy City and the Holy See, which were not yet completely hostile to Overlord Garserik. The two parties took into account the convenience that the currency "Lien" brought to trade and the fact that this currency has been generally recognized by all races across the continent. In the end, the two major religious organizations decided to inherit and continue the use and issuance of this currency.
It was just that the entire continent had just come to an end from the era of overlords, and some powerful countries among the independent countries did not intend to let go of the issuance of currency. At the time, the two major religious organizations did not have as strong an influence as they do today. In the end, under the influence of power, Under the competition, the 'Lien' as a credit currency had to be minted and issued under the joint supervision of the Holy See, the Holy City and the secular state in the form of separation of powers. And is responsible for the operation of the payment system of the entire currency area.
Although there were constant chaos during the initial issuance process, fortunately, after thousands of years of improving the financial system, Overlord Garserik left the most precious legacy for the world and finally continued to take root on the road.
One of Schneizel's plans is to integrate it into the existing currency system of the entire continent and use 'Lien' as the currency of Ulduar City. Although from the perspective of modern people's thinking, there are still many problems with this currency and financial system. There are loopholes, but it can still be used in this different world where civilization is still relatively backward. Adopting this method also saves time, allowing Ulduar City to complete the construction of currency and financial institutions as quickly as possible.
Although Yalin was also a little moved. It's just that Yalin, who has lived in the original world for nearly twenty years and is particularly sensitive to finance, likes the phrase "as long as I control the currency issuance of a country, I don't care who makes the laws." The right to issue currency means the lifeblood of a country. Although the entire continent now uses the currency of Lien and established a model similar to the Euro or a global unified currency, Yalin does not intend to let his lifeline be held by others, especially two of them are the former White Dragon King. enemy.
It's just that Yalin also knows that he is not in the original world now. "As long as I control the currency issuance of a country, I don't care who makes the laws." The effect of this sentence in this world is not as great as in the original world. The power of the big capitalists, bankers, and plutocrats in the original world is indeed so powerful that they can control the direction of a country and even the world at will. Even the top leader of the country can be replaced by them at will like replacing parts. That is because the original Everyone in the world is vulnerable and equal in their own power.
In a different world. There are countless powerful beings that transcend the world. Even if a powerful chaebol controls a country and astronomical wealth, even if he has an army of steel, in front of the gods, one person can severely damage an elite army. In front of the giant dragon, what is the meaning of the rights and wealth you possess
In a world that has become power-oriented, wealth and power are just by-products of the pursuit of power. The White Dragon King, who once had the power to kill gods, has no interest in wealth and power. An analogy is like a player playing an RPG game. When you use a modifier to modify your character to the point where you can defeat the final boss with bare hands, are you still interested in picking up the money and equipment dropped by monsters
That's just a waste of time┉┉
Although this world is a power-based world. But Yalin still decided that the currency must be issued by himself. The reason is because of the restrictions imposed on him by the 'Panda'. He cannot leave the Yanold Mountains and must rely more on the hands of others to achieve his goals. Without a strong economy, he cannot develop. In this case, Yalin may not be able to let others grasp this important lifeline, although there have not been many large-scale financial crises and financial attacks in other worlds. But maybe the Holy See and the Holy Capital don't know how to use economic means as an attack weapon now, but it doesn't mean that the two major religious organizations won't know how to use it in the future.
Yalin and Schneizel discussed the issue of currency for a long time. Luyini, the eldest sister of the Three Musketeers of the United Kingdom of Yugasol in the world of "Magic Shell" and is good at government affairs, also came to the conference room to take notes. , although Yalin plans to use gold and magic crystals as credit guarantee for his hair, he will initially test the waters by issuing currency in the habitat of the high elves. But it is obvious that the high elves don't need gold and magic crystals that are very valuable in the outside world now. For this reason, the currency function issued to the high elves is temporarily linked to other things.
"I have a suggestion. How about using food and salt to provide credit protection to the high elves' currency?" Luyini suddenly suggested during the discussion between the two.
Grain and salt
Yalin was stunned and looked at each other with Schneizel. Luini's suggestion was good. Food and daily necessities were more attractive to high elves than precious metals. Now the towns established by the elves can be self-sufficient in food. At the same time, they have also established blacksmith shops and ceramic workshops to create some basic tools. However, the salt forest as a condiment is not produced in the salt forest. So far, salt can only be produced by Ulduar. city for supply.
"Let's use salt as a currency and credit guarantee." Yalin thought for a moment and said, and Schneizel nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty Yalin, I have another suggestion. In order to ensure the normal circulation of currency, it is better for Ulduar City to establish a trade market in the elven towns to sell some daily necessities and a small amount of luxury goods that are not easy to obtain. Not only can it ensure The normal circulation of currency can also promote cultural exchanges between the two sides.”
Luyini, who was the best at government affairs among the Three Musketeers in the original book, immediately came up with a package plan. Yalin was extremely pleased and felt that the summons was indeed correct. Perhaps Luyini was overqualified as Schneizel's secretary. Perhaps in the future, Luyini can be solely responsible for some things.
After discussing for a while, Yalin said to Luini with great satisfaction: "Then can you be fully responsible for this matter?"
Luyini nodded and said confidently: "No problem, please leave it to me."
The three discussed the details again, and finally Yalin signed a document making Luini fully responsible for the issuance of currency in the high elf town. It was almost noon at the end of the day's discussion, just as Yalin invited the two of them to go together. While enjoying dinner, we discussed the following monetary issues. Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through Yalin's heart.
It was the feeling that a force quietly entered the enchantment range of Ulduar City. Although the enchantment recognized this force and did not hinder it, Yalin still felt that this power had a strange feeling and did not belong to Ulduar. The aura of anyone in the city, and the most important thing is that the final destination of this power is actually the Frostwing Hall.
"Wait a minute┉┉" Yalin's expression suddenly changed, and he instantly disappeared from the room under the puzzled gazes of Schneizel and Luini.
Someone broke into Ulduar City. Not only did the city barrier fail to stop the intruder, but as the White Dragon King, I actually sensed the other party's power at this moment. It was incredible at this time! You must know that the dark elves who sneaked into the shadow plane were noticed by Yalin while they were still in the distant misty forest, and Rose, the spider queen of the gods, was also blocked by the barrier when she tried to enter the city of Ulduar. Outside, it was impossible to sneak into the city silently, but now someone actually not only sneaked into the barrier, but even hid it from his own consciousness.
This is simply┉┉
Although he was surprised, there was no panic in Yalin's heart. Instead, a strong sense of nostalgia emerged from the memory that originally belonged to the former White Dragon King. It was an extremely familiar feeling.
In the Frost Wing Hall, a girl dressed in exotic clothes landed gently in front of the gate of the Palace of Clouds. The girl placed her hands close to her chest and seemed to be looking uneasily at this huge building complex like a dream, but Even in the beautiful gardens and magnificent palace, he could not retain the girl's gaze for a while, and soon the girl's gaze moved back to the Palace of Sea of Clouds.
Looking at the huge palace gate like a gate for giants to enter and exit, the girl stretched out her hand and pressed it gently on the palace door. Soon the protective circle on the palace door was quickly lifted, and the huge palace door seemed to welcome the arrival of its owner. Opening it slowly and thinking for a moment, the girl walked slowly into the Palace of Clouds with her lovely bare feet. (To be continued...)
