Among the gifts from the Goddess of Gold Coins, the improvement of strength is not the biggest gain of Duke Kawei. At his current status, it is enough for him to be strong enough to protect himself. There are not many opportunities to actually fight with others, let alone rely on such actions to achieve success.
Fame.
On the one hand, it is also because there are too many chores other than martial arts, which affect my mind and time. If you want to reach the top with your martial arts, other things will probably have to be abandoned.
Furthermore, the fact that a grand duke can reach the realm of an extraordinary person is enough to prove that Ricardo Carvey has extraordinary qualifications. How many nobles hope to transcend the original level of life and obtain a longer lifespan, but they cannot achieve it.
However, what really made the Grand Duke feel that it was worth the money was that he learned about the entire layout of the bank from the goddess's knowledge. The financial network including the financial flow was not shouldered by the goddess alone, but by the World Tree behind it.
Support it. This also solved a big question of the old Duke.
The World Tree is difficult to deal with, and this is recognized by the fans. Regardless of how the gold coin goddess hooked up with the World Tree, just looking at the investment and layout, the old Duke felt that the 'bank' matter had great potential.
In fact, just like on Earth, one basis for judging whether a company is worth investing in is how much the company’s boss has invested himself?
If all the employees, from the boss to the partners, devote all their efforts to the company, then no matter what business it is doing, such a company can at least look forward to its future.
If the boss only wants to make money and keeps emptying the company into his own pocket, then no matter how promising the projects run by this company are, it will probably not last long.
In the same way, in order to gain more power of faith, the gods perform various unlimited operations. For nobles of the level of the Grand Duke, no matter how hidden these things are, it is not surprising. Therefore, the goddess of gold coins works hard.
Very normal.
But if even World Tree is willing to cooperate, and even treat the elves under their command as bargaining chips, and invest in it. With such a large amount of support, there is no need to consider whether this kind of thing can be done, but should consider it.
How high will it reach?
In addition, the magician was also among them, as the main promoter. Thinking about the success of the car, the old Duke became more determined to bet on the team this time.
"Haha, there are twenty-seven high seats, and the only human being is at the bottom." Looking sideways at someone, he saw that a certain magician's scalp was numb. The old Duke was surprised by such information.
He thought that the magician in front of him should have higher achievements, rather than just a math master, or the magician who claimed to be the best at escaping. But he never thought that he had already achieved something in a place that many people could not notice.
Achievements that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The inside story of the Ikaruga Alliance's High Seat is not a secret to the nobles, but the speed of information update is very disappointing. At least in the old Duke's perception, he thought that the Ikaruga Alliance's High Seat was the past Eleven
It’s just a bit. Who knew that it has more than doubled now, and there is an extra human and a god!
Lin scratched his face in embarrassment and smiled, not knowing how to explain it. But this kind of thing was not worth publicizing everywhere or talking to everyone. He was also helpless.
The old Duke did not pursue the embarrassing pursuit of a certain magician because he came back to think about the layout of the bank.
The bank not only starts from the holy city of Estari. The other five starting points are the five existing elven kingdoms in the Lost Land. Moreover, these five elven kingdoms are not just about developing and promoting the bank's business. They are also through gold coins.
With the help of the goddess, the kingdom's currency was directly reformed.
The elves' requirements for perfection and art make them picky in everything they do, and the same goes for coinage. It can be said that every time an elf coin is made, the cost exceeds the value of the coin itself. So here we go
In the later period, the Elf Kingdom no longer minted its own coins, but instead used the circulating coins of the human world.
And because the social habits of elves are very different from humans, the money used as a medium of transaction does not require much money to support the economic size of a kingdom. It is mainly used for transactions with foreign countries.
However, the Elf Kingdom is relatively closed, and the projects and scale of external transactions are not large. Together with the economic size of the entire kingdom, it is not even as good as some human nobles who are good at business.
Therefore, instead of being petty and pushing the elven commoners to use Koin's new coins and circulate them, it is better to reform the kingdom's currency directly from top to bottom.
The appearance of gold, silver, and copper kein is already in line with the aesthetics of elves. Therefore, no elves will reject it when it comes to use. Not to mention that the bad money can be cleared and exchanged for ordinary coins at a ratio of almost one to one. If
Fine money and good coins can be exchanged in larger amounts. Of course, the benefits that ordinary people can see are also clearly seen by the elven kings.
The Elf Kingdom even requires that all merchants who want to trade with them must first exchange their coins for His Majesty Koin's new money before settling. This is because the amount of money involved in past national-level transactions was quite large, and the elves
It is inevitable that you will receive some bad money.
If it is discovered during the transaction, the merchant will of course be asked to change the coins used. However, there is still a lot of bad money that is only discovered when it is put into the warehouse, so it has to be stored separately.
But when using coins, the pride of the elves prevents them from mixing bad coins into ordinary coins. Therefore, these bad coins have actually become a burden to the kingdom.
Not to mention the act of mixing bad money, which will inadvertently cause losses to the other party in the transaction. Therefore, requiring merchants to exchange money first and then settle with new coins is an act of self-protection for the Elf Kingdom.
After all, the environment they are in is not like the Holy City of Estari or the Gwana Empire, where good coins are the main currency. They are chasing old coins in other people's hands so that they can make extra money.
The opportunity is almost non-existent.
For those merchants who trade with the Elf Kingdom, such a change in national policy cannot be said to be good or bad. The Elf Kingdom's specialties are already quite popular in the outside world. The reason why they can establish trading channels with the Elf Kingdom is mostly because they have inherited the blessings of their ancestors.
Yin, or it took a lot of effort to open the joints. Everything is hard-won, and it is impossible to stop just now.
In the past, they wanted to make better profits. In addition to raising prices for external sales, they also tried to find ways to reduce the purchase cost in the Elf Kingdom. It was routine to cry for poverty and lower prices. Occasionally mixing some bad money into the coins was already the biggest problem.
It's a great effort. If this kind of nonsense was done too blatantly and the kingdom directly canceled their trading qualifications, it would make people cry without tears.
Nowadays, currency exchange is required. Although it requires an extra effort, the bad currency will be exchanged at a reduced price and a storage fee will be charged. But what businessmen are best at is careful calculation. Those who are flexible use mathematics to make an account and find that
It was profitable and no one complained.
With the national policy of the Elf Kingdom as a reference, Duke Kawei became more active and moved his thoughts to other places.
The ban imposed by His Majesty the Emperor seems to be mutually exclusive, but in fact it is also a pressure. When the duchy suspends commercial and trade activities with other territories, is there any way to sustain it for a long time? Of course it is impossible.
Now the two great ducal families are holding on without starting a war. Maybe the old emperor thought that his ideas were well conveyed to his confidants. When everyone can no longer hold on, the war will suddenly break out and everyone will be reduced to rubble;
Either the war will end and no one will mention the matter of revenge. It would be great if the emperor's face and dignity are taken care of and everyone has a way out.
But the so-called ban actually only prohibits other nobles of the empire from having relations with the two grand duke families. There is no way to ban other countries. And the reason why the so-called grand duke is named big is that the territory is larger than that of an ordinary duke.
In addition, the biggest feature is that the Grand Duke must be located at the border of the empire. Because the Grand Duke's duty is to guard the border.
In the history of the Gwana Empire, if the territory of the empire expanded and the Grand Duke became the heartland, then the Grand Duke would be transferred to the border. Then the scope of the territory would increase! Without such an exchange, how could these military merits be so valuable?
He agreed to give up the territory he had managed for a long time and move to an unfamiliar place.
To the north of the Dukedom of Kavi, there are three kingdoms that are all about the same strength, as well as more noble territories that are not part of the Gwana Empire. These people are not affected by the ban of the emperor of their own empire. They cannot interact with other nobles in the empire.
When doing business, is it possible that we can’t do business with these little nobles from foreign countries?
If he wants to invade them, maybe these small countries will unite to resist his invasion. Not to mention that the hatred between the Rizal family and himself has not been settled yet, if the two sides start a war, he will not be able to get any advantage by using troops again.
But what if we don't invade and just do business? The products of the empire and the specialties in our own territory are all good things that the small neighboring countries pursue. The reason why they didn't sell them in the past was that they could absorb their own production capacity internally.
On the other hand, they look down on those small countries and think that they are not qualified to use their good things. Now that they are willing to sell them, these small countries will only be grateful.
The advantages of trading with surrounding small countries are: first, to solve the problem of backlog of production capacity in the territory and expand financial resources. Second, to take the opportunity to promote banks, and at the same time to strengthen the influence of the Duke of Carvey family. Third, to exchange good money and bad money from these small countries.
Opportunity to make some money!
The third point can be said to be the key point in promoting the old duke's trade with these small countries.
Sending troops to rob them will involve your own energy and military strength, which is not cost-effective. But if you sell some garbage, the price will increase when sold abroad, and you will make a profit from the currency exchange, which is equivalent to peeling off two layers of skin from a cow.
, why not do it.
And this extra money doesn't necessarily need to be kept in your own hands. You can hire the troops of these small countries or foreign nobles, even if they can't face the private army attacking the Rizal family head-on, harassing the border of the Rizal territory.
OK.
As long as they hang up their own banners, they are their own mercenaries. These small countries do not have to worry about being settled by the emperor. With the help of the bank's general trend, these small countries can be firmly tied to their own chariots and cannot easily get off. , change camps.
Maybe this kind of thing can only be done in the short term. These small country nobles will eventually discover the tricks of currency exchange and it will not last long. But these are all extra advantages. If you don't know how to use them, you will simply lose your title of Grand Duke. .
The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became.
