Chapter 280 - Banknote Issuance (1)
"Over there, get all these bills out!
On the eighth day of the transformation of Wende City into the 'Holy City' of the Church of Fortune, Anna became the Holy Daughter of the Church of Fortune on the fifth day.
Early this morning, before dawn, the clergy of the Church of Fortune had already washed up, and under the guidance of several priests, they rode in a carriage to a warehouse in the experimental area.
They were busy in the warehouse, constantly moving boxes containing banknotes onto wagons.
The paladins stood by and were not wary, even though the notes were just a pile of paper until the goddess marked them.
Although they were now in the strict jurisdiction of the experimental zone, the paladins still did not dare to worry, because this was a task given to them by the goddess herself, and if there was any loss to these banknotes that had not been marked, even if the goddess did not personally ask for the guilt, they themselves would not be happy.
It was only after a few priests had opened the cardboard boxes with their lamps and examined the contents of the boxes that they were allowed to be loaded into the wagon.
Nowadays, there are 'printing presses' in Wende City, and in order to prevent counterfeiting, the work of printing banknotes is made by a few separate 'magic money printing machines'.
Workers simply put the special paper into the printing machine, wait for the paper to be produced, and then cut it.
Before the goddess marks these banknotes, the money printing machine will also add a unique mark to these banknotes, which is a complex imprint of a 'sword and a black dragon', and the imprint can only be seen through the banknotes by placing them under a light source.
The clergy of the Church of Fortune also don't understand why their goddess needs to mark it after the Sadwind Leader already has this security mark.
It stands to reason that if there is no money printing machine, and there is no raw material for making security marks, it is simply difficult to imitate these banknotes, and the highest face value of these banknotes is only 'one hundred', not to mention the difficulty of imitation, but also particularly troublesome, if you have the time and energy, you can earn more money than counterfeiting paper money by finding a job.
After the issuance of this banknote, the 'money printing machine' will be transferred to the factory area, because there is more than one kind of security mark on the banknote, in fact, only the security mark of the goddess of wealth is the mark of 'Tia', and only the security mark of 'Sword and Black Dragon' is not recognized by the Sad Wind and the Church of Fortune.
After confirming that the warehouse had been emptied, the Templar chief escorting the convoy nodded to the new Cardinal, Bishop William.
"Let's go!"
Bishop William shouted to the convoy that they were to return to Winder City before dawn and deposit all the banknotes in the vault.
After depositing all the banknotes in the vault, their goddess will protect them from counterfeiting and add their own mark to the banknotes, so that the banknotes will become 'Tia', a currency recognized by the Sadwind and the Church of Wealth.
Before leaving, Bishop William deliberately glanced back at the warehouses next to him.
As a new cardinal, he is entitled to know 'that plan'!
The unnamed project had already begun, and it was because of the rush to issue banknotes that no one else knew.
They had just finished dealing with the 'relocation of the Holy City' and the 'canonization of the Holy Maiden', so they had time to deal with these things - this was only on the surface, in fact, the head maid and their goddess had already planned everything.
"When this matter is dealt with, you will be able to rest!"
The clergy are exhausted from their non-stop work in recent days.
Coupled with the hard work of the day, they didn't sleep well last night, and they were called up early to work, so that their spirits were not very high, and sitting in the rickety carriage, some people began to yawn constantly.
'It's just a façade!' Bishop William told himself, as to whom it was done...... It's not easy to say, it's better to know less about things at that level.
Not many of the clergy transporting the banknotes were lifted up after hearing Bishop William's promise, for they were so tired that not many noticed that the concrete pavement on which they were moving seemed to have been washed out.
The chief knight of the Knights of the Jewel Flower naturally noticed these traces, in fact, not only these traces, but he had also discovered the hidden fight a long time ago.
The knight chief sneered, and his left hand, which held the hilt of the saber at his waist, did not let go.
There were so many clergy present, but there were only priests and priests who had no spirit, not only Bishop William and him, but the rest of the paladins seemed to be a little lazy, but in fact they were all in good spirits.
Otherwise, how could the bishops of the Church be assured that they would come to escort this convoy?
The only thing that made him feel palpitations on the way was the 'one hundred and sixty-eight knights' that the goddess had mentioned!
One hundred and sixty-eight were at least knights of the rank of deputy head of their order—no wonder not many people noticed the movement of the battle, and the time between the beginning of the battle and the end of the battle was less than half a minute.
He sensed the occurrence of three battles, each of which ended in less than half a minute......
It's horrible!
Although he had heard of the name of the 'Most Holy in the World', he didn't expect that in this small Sorrowful Wind Realm, there was not only a sword saint who could resist the gods, but also such a large number of knights with such strength.
It also calmed his somewhat restless heart.
After all, this is the 'Tempest Territory', but it is the only territory on the Mendes continent that borders the 'Black Forest', and other territories close to the Black Forest still have at least some buffer area, but the Tempest Territory directly borders the Black Forest, even he, the Knight Captain of the Knight's Cathar Order, can't help but feel a little uneasy.
With these knights in the shadows, the forces that tried to use 'strong force' to compromise the Church of Fortune did not interfere with the convoy.
By the time it was dark, the money convoy had already returned to Winde City.
At this time, most people did not realize that they had avoided at least four waves of assassination before, and those people were all stopped by the knights of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and they were silent, which made those who noticed 'these' can't help but feel the chills.
Bishop William, who had been on guard all the way, was a little physically and mentally exhausted, but after seeing the temple, he pulled himself together again.
"Get up and work, and when this matter is dealt with, you can go to rest!"
With that, Bishop William himself yawned, and with the help of a priest, he removed a cardboard box from a carriage.
The clergy of the Church of Fortune are generally not good at fighting, and they can't compare with other churches, and the only fighting power is the 'Knights of the Jewel Flower' and the 'Crook Keeper Battle Priest'.
Although the cardboard box is heavy, Bishop William is also a 'wealth keeper' after all, although he has not exercised much for many years, but the foundation is not bad, and the other cardboard boxes that need four people to be able to move, he only needs to cooperate with a priest to be able to move.
It must be said that he used this trick very well, and under his leadership, the clergy also cheered up, and under the watchful eyes of the prisoners of voluntary labor, they carried boxes and boxes of banknotes into the vault of the Temple of Fortune, and placed them with the gold and silver.
Most of the merchants who would store their wealth in the temple of wealth were merchants, so when the clergy had finished carrying them, they realized that the volume of paper money and gold and silver was about the same.
If it had been ten days ago, there would have been no belief that the value of these 'papers' of the same volume was more than twice that of the pile of currency next to them.
Exhausted, Bishop William stood outside the door of the vault, looking at the currency in the vault and smiling.
'There's no one left to stop them!'
This world is about to change!, you are lonely, the young lady warms you with movies
