Chapter 958: An Insidious Desperate Scheme
It took Donn and Croto a day to finalize the design plan, another half a day to optimize the plan, and called Alyselle and Fiona to create a unified integration of aesthetics and comfort from the perspective of elves and women. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When they finally saw the renderings drawn by Arili, everyone was very satisfied with the result.
Fiona said confidently: "I can guarantee that once the airship transportation industry starts operating, it will definitely become popular in the whole of Plandal!" ”
She now had a golden glint in both of her eyes - this was a new untapped gold mine!
"You're thinking too much."
Tang En smiled: "At least in the early stage, before the general increase in citizens' income, the number of people who can afford the fare is at most one-tenth, which is still an optimistic estimate." In addition, you have forgotten the Kingdom of Solant and the Kingdom of Grace, these two countries are currently the blind spots of our Datang Chamber of Commerce. ”
The Solante Kingdom has always maintained a resistant attitude towards the Tang Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Kingdom of Grace did not express its position publicly, its attitude was very ambiguous, which was also the point that Tang En couldn't figure out the most.
It stands to reason that the Grace Kingdom is short of materials, and they should be in great need of importing food and daily necessities, but the fact is that they have imposed a high commercial tax on the merchants who carry the goods of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and these commercial taxes will naturally be superimposed on the price of the goods in the end, which has led to the fact that the original price of 100 gold coins has nearly doubled the price after entering the Grace Kingdom.
As the price goes up, the size of the potential market will naturally be much less, and the merchants will not be able to make money, so they will not be very happy to continue to export goods to the Kingdom of Grace.
This made Don very puzzled.
If it is said to be a local commercial protection policy, the commerce of the Grace Kingdom is not very developed, not to mention compared to the Ronitant Kingdom, even compared to the current Illus Empire.
Not to mention basic industry, and now only the Illuth Empire has started in the entire Plandal.
So why would they do it?
The cause is unknown.
But at least for a short time, it is unlikely that Fiona will see airships flying over the kingdoms of Solant and Grace, but the kingdoms of Ronnitant and the Wren empire have a lot to offer.
"Speaking of the Kingdom of Solant ......"
Fiona frowned slightly: "Their resistance is more fierce than expected. ”
"What's wrong?"
"According to the feedback from the front, Klein the Great has publicly issued a decree prohibiting the circulation of any Illuth Empire banknotes in the Solant Kingdom, and there is reliable information that the Solant Kingdom will establish a mint to issue Solant gold coins."
After a pause, Fiona said thoughtfully, "I think he must have waited for this opportunity for a long time, and we may have given him a chance......
As one of the countries that split from the Illuth Empire, the Solant Kingdom has always been unable to get rid of the currency problem of the Illus Empire, and the Holy See of Light, as the spokesperson of Yebilny, recognizes the official legal tender of the Eyrus Gold Coins, and the Solant Kingdom, as the diocese of the Holy See of Light, has no way to get rid of the influence of fiat currency.
And in many parts of the Solant Kingdom, people still consider themselves to be from the Ilrus Empire, much to the annoyance of Klein the Great.
And now, Donn's monetary reform policy has given Klein the Great a reason to attack - can you accept that the king of the Empire of Illus is trying to exchange some paper for the gold in our hands? Unacceptable? Then refuse!
We refuse to trade paper money!
This is not my attitude, this is the attitude of the people of our country!
Klein the Great found a good excuse to achieve monetary independence through this step, and to completely dissociate himself from the Illus Empire, so as to further his ambitions.
"Rejection of banknotes? It's not up to him. ”
Don sneered and said, "Perhaps, I need to talk to Revitz again." ”
Don went to find Revitz that afternoon.
"Speeding up the pace of currency exchange?"
Riviz didn't quite understand why Donn was in such a hurry: "Isn't it quite fast now?" A tenth of the gold coins have already been converted into paper money, and it will definitely be completed within this year, so why be in such a hurry? ”
"Because of the kingdom of Solant."
Don told Riviz about the attitude of the Solant Kingdom, and then told Riviz about his request.
Riviz was dumbfounded: "You asked me to help you achieve a currency invasion?" W-This is ridiculous......"
Donn's plan is very simple, that is, to have the Star Diamond Bank recognize the Illuth Empire as the only recognized legal tender in the name of accepting the Holy See of Light, and will replace it with the paper money issued by the Central Bank of Plandal, which will be the only legal tender recognized by the Star Diamond Bank, and will refuse to accept other currencies, and will confiscate the privately minted currency, and punish the crime of privately minting counterfeit money, and permanently enter the blacklist of the Star Diamond Bank.
Of course, the privately minted currency here refers to the Solant gold coins that Klein is clamoring for to be issued, but politically, it can't be said so clearly, just understand.
However, isn't it ridiculous to let goblins who don't believe in the god of light say that they have accepted the hand-picked orders of the Holy See of Light to claim support for paper money?
Riviz could never have imagined that one day he would stand up and use the name of the Holy See of Light to do such a thing.
But you can't help but admit that this method definitely works!
The Kingdom of Sorant is still a diocese under the rule of the Holy See of Light, and the vast majority of citizens here still believe in the Holy See of Light, and what the Holy See says is at least more effective than that of Emperor Klein.
Even if you are not a believer of the Holy See of Light, you can't bear the currency issued by your family that the Star Diamond Bank does not recognize!
What if you exchange the original valuable currency for a bunch of currencies that people don't recognize? If you go to other countries, you don't recognize it, and in the end you can only use it in the Kingdom of Sorant, which is tantamount to completely isolating yourself from the whole world!
Can those businessmen agree? Can those adventurers agree?
That's definitely not agreeing!
How good is this now, once the money earned is deposited in the Star Diamond Bank, you need to use it to go to another city and withdraw it directly, if you change it to a currency that can only be used in the Kingdom of Solant, won't you become poor if you go to other countries?
Klein the Great's abacus crackled, but he never imagined that Tang En would take a salary from the bottom of the Star Diamond Bank and make an extremely insidious trick.
Rivez felt that he was very painful, he used to be a dictator (although there was a dragon on it, but people didn't care about it), but now it's good, after Don got his backer, he was about to become a tool in his hands.
"Don't say anything else, if I stand up and say so, will the Holy See of Light be able to recognize it?"
Tang En patted his chest and promised, "I've already said hello to the Bright Sect, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts." ”
Isn't it simple on the side of the Holy See of Light?
Not to mention his current relationship with Iluri, even if he directly discussed it with His Majesty the Pope, the Pope would definitely support Donne's approach.
The foundation of the Holy See of Light is in Alinkes, and the stronger the Illuth Empire, the stronger the influence of the Holy See of Light, and he wishes that Tang En could regain his dominance of the world.
Pope Jesolini XXIII was also happy to lick a shovel for such a thing as digging a pit for Emperor Klein - when Grand Duke Sorant took the opportunity to support the independence of the army and split from the Ilrus Empire, the Holy See of Light severely condemned the actions of the Solant family, and now the attitude of the Holy See towards the Solant family and the Grace family is not friendly.
"In that case, let's do as you say."
Riviz sighed, faintly sad, the dragon kings were on Don's side, what could he say now?
"We will speed up the realization of the currency exchange, and we will issue a notice in the Kingdom of Sorant tomorrow at the latest to make our attitude clear, okay?"
Tang En nodded with satisfaction: "Very satisfied, in order to thank you for your help, our Datang Chamber of Commerce is willing to sponsor you with a thousand money detectors for free." ”
Riviz pouted when he heard this, although the money detector is easy to use, but the problem is that this thing is completely to deal with the hidden dangers of paper money, if you don't use paper money, there will be no such a troublesome step as money inspection.
It's just redundant.
"For your sake......
Don thought about it for a while, and decided that it would be better to send a message to Riviz in advance: "I decided to give you a piece of news. ”
Rivitz perked up: "What news?" ”
"Kloto and I designed a civilian airship based on the Skybreaker, and our Datang Chamber of Commerce decided to cooperate with the dwarfs to develop the air transportation industry."
"Whew! What!? ”
Hearing this, Riviz jumped up directly, and he immediately became anxious: "How can you be like this!?" You're sabotaging our previous efforts! ”
Riviz is smart, and because he is smart, he can immediately smell the huge business opportunity here, but ......
It cost them so much to negotiate the highway project with Donn, and now the project is less than halfway through, but the daily income of the highway network in the Illuth Empire has already made Riviz wake up from a dream.
He usually likes to settle accounts when he has nothing to do, and calculates how much money he will make every day sitting there if the whole of Plandal is paved with highways.
The result? Now that the highways in Ronitant have not been completed, Donn is going to engage in the air transportation industry of Rauschzi!
If nothing else, let's just say that if all the people are on airships, who is still running on the highway!?
Damn Kloto!
Damn lepers!
Rivez cursed Kloto in his heart, all because of them, and the financial road he had just opened up was about to be cut off!
They even have to lose a lot of money on this investment!
It's a lot of money!
