Chapter 199: 'Banknotes'
"I'm sorry, Master Maid, I really can't be the master of this......" Standing at the gate of the Temple of Fortune, Bishop William sighed again and apologized.
But then he hurriedly said: "But I have already reported this matter to the archbishop of the church, although it is still up to my lord to decide, but that idea is really good, and it is worth trying, so you don't need to worry, you should ...... There should be results soon. ”
In the end, Bishop William was unable to make any guarantees, as he himself hesitated.
Although the head maid's proposal was very good, very creative and forward-looking, it was also too risky, and they had a similar idea in the Fortune Church in the past, and then it was not enough?
The maid was not much disappointed, because she had already been mentally prepared, and in such a thing, Bishop William was just a diocesan bishop, and he would definitely not be the master.
The Church of Fortune is part of her plan, she believes that the Goddess of Fortune will never miss this great opportunity, and that Wende City can become a testing ground for the Goddess of Wealth, as long as the Church of Fortune can provide enough credibility and money, and the maid is confident, the Goddess of Wealth will never be stingy with this.
The Goddess of Wealth is essentially a businessman, and for the sake of 'business', taking risks that are only 'a little' for the behemoth Church of Wealth, but being able to obtain great benefits, is an irresistible temptation for the Goddess of Wealth.
"Well, then, it's time for me to go, Bishop William. The maid smiled indifferently.
Bishop William sighed: "Maid Master, I'm really sorry......"
"You don't have to apologize. ”
The maid bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, with one hand on her cheek, the maid looked out the window through the glass.
It's a hot day, but the enthusiasm of the people in the temple square is undiminished, and the vendors are setting up their stalls in an orderly manner and doing business in an orderly manner.
Passing by a few stalls, the maid sighed to see that they were trading not currency but goods.
They do it because the value of 'money' is too high!
It was not like this in the Arcane Empire, when there was a lot of property, and it was enough for slaves not to starve to death, because there were enough slaves such as 'inferior people', so the civilians in the upper class lived well, and the level of magic at that time was extremely high, and the productivity was developed, and the current phenomenon would not occur at all.
As for why the goddess of wealth is possessed, this world is still the same scene eight hundred years after the war, which probably needs to be 'attributed' to the Ogordon Empire.
After the end of the war, the Gordon Empire seized the opportunity to raise the price of money, and although Igor Young embezzled a lot of money, many of it was equivalent goods, and if it was gold coins, it was really not that much.
After the war, the Ogordon Empire, with its abundant supplies and a relatively more peaceful and safe environment, earned a lot of money during that time, and minted gold coins, all of which were minted into 'Ogordon Gold Coins'.
Because at that time, not long after the end of the war, the Arcane Empire was expelled, and the power of the Mendez continent was fragmented, and now the Kurt Kingdom in the west of the Kolo Kingdom is inextricably linked with the Kurkut Empire in the extreme east of the Mendes Continent.
'Prosperous antiques, gold in troubled times', gold coins are also gold, and there is the Ogordon Empire as a guarantee, after the 'Ogordon Gold Coins' began to circulate in the Mendes Continent during that period, taking advantage of the chaos, the Ogordon Empire sold materials, and the gold and silver that were 'useless things' at that time, as well as all kinds of antiques and magic props, and when the Mendez Continent recovered, there was not much gold and silver left in their hands.
By this time, the Ogordon Empire had re-smelted most of its gold and silver coins and minted them into 'Ogordon Gold Coins'.
At this time, the gold and silver had surpassed their own value, and if it were not for this, the goddess of wealth would not have had no choice but to mint 'Latinia gold coins' to adjust prices.
Generally speaking, the coinage power is in the hands of the lord, and the rash intervention of the Church of Wealth caused public anger at the time, and the gods and mortals had just concluded a 'contract', and the goddess of wealth made such a play - how could she not provoke anger when she stabbed her ally just after forming an alliance?
If it weren't for the God of Radiance, who saw some clues at that time, took the lead in supporting the Goddess of Wealth, maybe something would have happened, but the holy city of the Church of Radiance was therefore set within the territory of the Ogordon Empire.
It is the nobles of the Ogordon Empire who manipulate the market, and they don't care about the lives and deaths of the civilians of the Mendez Continent, so they 'sell high to buy', almost emptying the materials of the Mendes Continent.
But the goddess of wealth can't watch the death of the people in the Mendez continent, she understands that she can't control the commercial circulation within the Ogordon Empire, if the Mendes continent 'falls', then she, the goddess of wealth, will be hollowed out, so she will do her best to save the commerce of the Mendez continent.
Unfortunately, after all these years, prices have stabilized and the value of the currency has become difficult to adjust.
The 'attempts' of the Church of Fortune are the 'golden tickets' they now use, which are usually only used for large transactions, and are completely different from what was originally envisaged, and are not able to adjust the value of money at all.
The Church of Wealth has already failed once, so they should be more cautious this time.
The maid sighed again, it would be nice if she could get an answer sooner, whether she agreed or not, she could make a choice.
If the Goddess of Fortune agrees to that proposal, then she will take the Church of Fortune to do it together, and if the Goddess of Fortune does not agree, then she will only be able to issue 'banknotes' in the Tempest Territory and even in Wende City for the time being.
The trial of the Yang family in the court was to fulfill her promise, the newspaper was issued to build momentum, and the price of a newspaper could not be 'one copper coin', which was too expensive.
The most important thing about 'banknotes' is 'credit', banknotes are not a real currency, they have no value in themselves, they are just symbols of the value of money.
Is the Wynde City government credit enough?
If the 'banknotes' can only be used in Wende City, then their value is not large, and it can even be said to be chicken ribs, and it is too rough to wipe the buttocks.
However, if it can be used across regions, for example, it can be used in the territory of the Duchy of Sorrow, and it does not require you to carry too many coins, and this kind of "currency symbol" that is inexpensive to produce and easy to store and carry and transport can set off a frenzy.
However, if the Fortune Church rejects her proposal, she will need to form a national bank to guarantee the credit of the 'banknotes'.
It's going to be a hassle, and it's going to take a long time, and she'll have to be distracted by some of the trickier government tasks and other government departments......
If the goddess of wealth can agree, it is best, if not, she still has to go it alone!
Maybe the step is a bit big, but the conditions are very sufficient, now is definitely the best time to 'issue banknotes', not now, when?
To the maid's surprise, however, Bishop William received a response from the goddess of wealth only the next day.
Bishop William hurried to the town hall and, having received an accurate answer, trotted all the way to the door of the lord's office.
"Bishop William, please come in. ”
The young and beautiful civil servant took Bishop William to the door of the maid's office, bowed slightly respectfully to him, and then turned and walked back, neatly and without any fuss.
Tuk tuk!
Bishop William knocked nervously on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in!"
With the permission of the head maid, Bishop William pushed the door in.
Before the maid could ask what was the matter, Bishop William said, "Master maid, my lord has already answered me!"
Looking at Bishop William's flushed face with excitement, the maid suddenly took a deep breath, "What about the result?"
There was a slight speculation in her mind......
"...... in three days"
An excited smile appeared on Bishop William's chubby face, "My lord will come to Wende City to discuss this matter with you personally!"
