"I didn't expect the Senate to be really useful."

“Is issuing food stamps a way?”

"You see, the proposal says, first allow food stamps to purchase goods within the restricted scope, including agricultural tools, seeds, agricultural services, and can also purchase hay and fertilizer. This... buy agricultural services, what does this mean?"

"It is to let these food coupons be spent. Or buy things from the court!"

The romantic things at the aristocrats lost the market, and the sensuality of the people were no longer the content of everyone's attention. Almost all the nobles were talking about the proposals proposed by the Elder Sheila on behalf of the Agricultural Group. Sheila did not see guests these days, and most of the Elders in the Agricultural Group did not come out for social engagements. Without the main owner to explain, the discussion became more intense.

The nobles felt that this report gave them a new world, gold and silver coins were traditional currencies in the Europa region. They also occasionally heard that a banknote was popular in the territory controlled by the Mongolian gold tent, which could be used to buy any goods on the market. Later generations said that 'gold and silver are naturally currency', and this view is consistent with the history of the Europa region. In the distant China, from more than two thousand years ago or even earlier, money was the currency in circulation.

In the study of Sheila's house, Sheila was telling six or seven people about the history of the currency in the distant Song Dynasty. Once her thinking could break out of the traditional gold and silver, she looked at currency from the perspective of a centralized and unified country, and the advantages of making money, especially the advantages of paper money, overwhelmed gold and silver.

Paper money is not cheap, and Sheila learned this from the office. In order to avoid being imitated, manufacturing paper money requires a large amount of high-tech equipment and technology. The country also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the normal circulation of paper money. This cost is not much less than mining gold and silver mines. However, paper money breaks through the restrictions on mining gold and silver, and has to be used or deposited into a banknote because the paper money lacks its own use price and lacks long-term private storage value.

"A box of gold and silver can be kept for hundreds or thousands of years, but a box of paper money can be kept for ten years. Do you think this is the reason?" Sheila preached to everyone.

There were several sheets of Sifang Payment Discounts issued by the Europa Province before. These well-informed people had been playing with these Sifang Payment Discounts for a long time. They understood that what Sheila said was right. The characteristics of the paper money itself are indeed, as Sheila said, just used to trade payments, which is completely different from gold and silver coins with extremely high storage value.

"Food stamps must be used to purchase goods, and must be convenient for purchasing goods. That's why I suggest that food stamps must be able to buy all kinds of things that people who farm. Food stamps are useful and allow farmers to buy what they need so that farmers will be willing to accept food stamps."

After Sheila finished speaking, she picked up the water cup and took a sip. She felt her heart pounding and she felt very uneasy. This knowledge was something Sheila had to admit when accepting the money from Sifang. If she didn't believe in the money from Sifang, or the money from Sifang could not buy anything. Sheila would not accept the money from Sifang. Looking back on her inner struggle back then, Sheila was very worried about the acceptance of food stamps.

The deputy of the Chancellor of the Chancellor frowned like other people in the same seat. After thinking about it, the deputy asked: "Miss Sheila, uh...Hisa, the Chancellor of the Chancellor agrees with your proposal. The minister has an idea, and I don't know if the food stamps can be exchanged with the four parties for exchange."

Sheila's father's face changed immediately when he heard this. He stared at the deputy of the Chancellor of the Finance Department and looked carefully, wanting to see his thoughts from the guy's face. From his words just now, he could tell that the Chancellor of the Finance Department also had the idea of ​​issuing similar food stamps. He might even have contacted the Europa Province, which did not agree to the proposal of exchange of East Rome grain stamps with Sifang for money.

Others' eyes fell on Sheila, wanting to see how this little girl answered this difficult question. Various thoughts were circling in Sheila's mind. The most intense thing was that once the food stamps were exchanged with the Sifang money, it meant that the food stamps had a larger purchase range, and they directly changed from the food stamps to the Song Dynasty version of the Eastern Roman Empire. If they could succeed, what a great achievement was.

As the impulse in her chest became higher and higher as her heartbeat, Sheila couldn't help but look at her father. Suddenly, the idea came out, and the impulse in Sheila's heart disappeared in an instant. She tried to smile and said, "I am just a senator, and the matter of contact with the Europa Province is naturally presided over by the court. I just proposed the proposal in the Senate, and I can't do anything else."

The big men looked at Sheila, the young girl, showing the excitement of the young man. When they had their own ideas, they suddenly heard such a cunning answer. Everyone was surprised involuntarily. Sheila's father had an uncontrollable joy on her face. He had talked with Sheila about His Excellency Tiberi several times before. He made great contributions to this crisis, which could be said to have completely changed the upper class of Eastern Rome. However, it was because he did it that he was ruthlessly abandoned. It was not because the upper class was all ungrateful, but because His Excellency Tiberi's value had ended here, but he tried to find something that did not belong to him.

If Sheila tried her best, she might not have a chance to achieve the results expected by the Chancellor of the Finance Minister. If Sheila really did, she would be in the same position as His Excellency Tiberius. Her path would come to an end. For such a huge benefit, as long as she gets rid of Sheila, she can share the sweet fruits. Only fools would not do this.

Feeling the expression that he shouldn't have shown, Sheila's father only breathed two or three breaths and returned his expression and mentality to the coldness that normal scholars should have, as if he didn't care about this moment at all.

The deputy of the Minister of Finance wanted to encourage Sheila to participate in the exchange of grain stamps with the four-party currency exchange, but when he saw Sheila, he suddenly became calm and was very disappointed. However, he still thought that Sheila might just be scruples now. The attendees were either people from the court or nobles loyal to the Eastern Roman emperor. The deputy simply revealed some internal news. The Eastern Roman court had sent many people to visit Greece before, hoping to understand how the Europa Province manages central and southern Greece. He attached great importance to the use of all localities under the rule of Europa.

The Minister of State had long planned to establish a currency like the four-way exchange of money, but this system involved too many things, and there were always various loopholes, and there were no opportunities to promote it. Sheila's proposal made the ministers and officials feel that the opportunity had been reached. Limiting the banknotes with full currency functions to a part of the commodity transactions can solve the various problems that plagued officials before. However, the Minister of State of the Finance Department still hoped that such food stamps could be exchanged with four-way exchanged money, so that not only the Europa province could trade through paper currency, but the Eastern Roman Empire could also use paper currency to pay for various trades.

Everyone could hear the anxious mood of the deputy of the Minister of Finance, and their eyes fell on Sheila's face again. Sheila said readily: "Everyone knows my background. I can do it today, not because I have money or how capable I am. It's just that no one goes to do these things. I'm going, no one has to choose, so I chose me. So whether it's the court or the Europa Province, I'll give me face. If you don't give me face, I'll have nothing. What the minister wants to do is to negotiate with the strong. Let me, a weak person, complete this job, really find the wrong person."

The minister's deputy was stunned, and the answer was completely beyond his imagination again. It was impossible for ordinary people to admit that they were unable to say it, and they would feel strong shame if they could barely say it. This statement was not unwilling or complaining about it, but was full of persuasion. The minister's deputy even understood that Sheila was not as unfathomable as she had been blown up during this period, but did not look down on Sheila. Such a novel feeling made the deputy not know what to do for a moment.

Sheila's father spoke, "Your Excellency, the minister's idea is much earlier than Sheila. Sheila was forced to think of this solution because she was forced to be impatient by the current situation. Your minister has been distressed longer than Sheila. So he must understand the difficulty. Sheila really wants to serve the country, but she is really unable to undertake such a heavy job. Moreover, she was a comprador, and when Europa Province came, she was afraid that the lion would speak loudly, which would destroy the matter. After all, Sheila is just a senator in the Senate, and the minister truly represents the court."

The deputy was very upset with this. The Europa Province was too powerful. The reason why she wanted Sheila to come forward was to try her best through her experience as a comprador and explore the situation. Regarding the possibility of encountering the Europa Province Lion during the implementation, the Minister of Finance and these officials under him were the people who were really afraid of.

But when he talked about this, Sheila and her father made a clear attitude. The deputy could only leave in disappointment. Watching the deputy's car go away, several participants who were pretending to leave sat on Sheila's sofa and stopped leaving.

"His Excellency Maximi, this matter cannot be delayed." said Elder Obiris, the head of the Senate Finance Group.

The emperor's brother-in-law, Duke Hus, immediately agreed, "Yes, it takes a long time to make the style of food stamps. It also takes a lot of time to make templates and print them out. It is already April, and you will have to purchase food at most four months. If you can't meet the food supply at that time, it wouldn't be the same as last year."

No matter what they said, Maximi always insisted on protecting her daughter. "Everyone, Sheila is not able to solve this problem. Instead of looking for her, you might as well go to see people from the Europa Province immediately."
