Later, the emperor's private hall was used to receive a small number of private ministers. Only the closest and most trusted people could enter the emperor's study. But it was obvious that not all people present were of that level.
Accompanying ministers, so the old emperor received everyone at this place.
The previous meeting in the meeting hall was actually a great court meeting held once a month. It was specially used to mediate disputes between nobles and issue orders to the entire empire. The old emperor originally wanted to ask the magician to present the meeting to the emperor on such an occasion.
Everyone explained things about the bank. Even he himself wanted to know, so he could decide whether to promote the bank's affairs.
However, it is obvious that some people have their own opinions, so they have their attitudes. I don’t know whether their stance is because they already understand the bank, so they oppose it; or maybe they are just targeting a certain person, so they oppose it for the sake of opposition.
Originally, the old emperor's thoughts about banks were dispensable.
First, the imperial power that is too close to the gods can easily be led away and become its vassal. After all, the gap between humans and gods is too big. If the descendants are unworthy, once the power is taken away by the gods, it will be difficult to get it back.
.
Secondly, if the magician takes the lead in the bank, then the emperor will think twice about handing over the empire's currency-related powers to an outsider who has nothing to do with the empire. How do you think about this and why do you feel something is wrong?
.
But a new piece of information made the old emperor rethink this issue. It was the latest trends in the Dukedom of Kawei, including the old guy's layout of the bank, his thoughts on the Three Kingdoms in the North, and the old bastard himself becoming the chosen goddess.
this matter.
The emperor's guards are responsible for intelligence in various places inside and outside the empire. Of course, the emperor's spies are hidden among the families of the sixteen border guards. Some are overt spies, and some are covert spies.
But even if it is an open thread, it will not be removed easily. Because their existence, in addition to being proof of the family's loyalty to the emperor, can sometimes serve as a mouthpiece to convey some things that are not suitable for formal documents to be conveyed.
Especially now, with the help of the forum, information can be transmitted quickly and secretly - in most people's perception -. Therefore, all matters of nobility in various places can be gathered into the core of the Guards Corps in the shortest possible time;
After sorting, they were sorted into categories and sent to the emperor's desk.
This is how Duke Kawei’s information came about.
The information that was sent last time was that Duke Kawei spent a large amount of money to cooperate with a chamber of commerce and a magician to invest in a project related to "cars". No one is optimistic about this unprecedented thing, so everyone
Everyone is waiting to see a joke.
Now the joke has come true, but the person who was waiting to see the joke has become the protagonist of the joke. This contrast makes the old emperor dare not ignore things related to both that man and the magician again.
Forum creator, math guru, airship innovator, automobile inventor, and now a bank promoter.
No one would think that the magician had nothing to do with the bank. After all, the establishment of the first bank had too many factors related to him. It was built next to the Technology Guild, and the first person in charge of the bank was a follower of the magician.
It's just that the person didn't stand in front of the stage.
Taking a closer look at the magician's experience, he may not have gained all the benefits from what he did, but everything had a profound impact on the world. Therefore, the old emperor believed that he had in-depth knowledge of the bank.
The need to understand.
Following the announcement from the attendants, Evren, the young man from the Muhashebesi family, followed his father and a group of tailors from the Savile family and walked into the small hall.
The suit that the emperor had mentioned was now folded properly, held on a tray, and brought in by Efren. He himself changed back into aristocratic attire and presented himself to the emperor in the most formal appearance.
Since it was related to clothes, Baron Saville led the crowd and first greeted the emperor. "Your Majesty, your most loyal servant is at your service at any time."
After saying that, a member of the Savile family took the suit from Efron and used magic to prop up each piece of clothing and float it in mid-air, as if someone was wearing it.
At the same time, someone came forward, preparing to measure the emperor's body size. Some people came forward with fabrics in hand, while others prepared quick drawings and described their ideas for making new clothes, just like the way they used to make new clothes.
But the old emperor stretched out his hand to stop them and said, "Just sew me five new sets of clothes similar to this one based on my previous body shape."
The people of the Saville family immediately understood that they were just covering up. But the emperor also issued orders, and things could not be carried out vaguely. So they retreated to a corner of the small hall, carried out the preparatory work in an orderly manner, and gave way to the small hall.
The main part of the hall.
After the brief instructions were understood by the Savile family, the old emperor stretched out his hand to call to the person standing at the end. "My child, come forward. You should have brought some gifts. Don't say you don't have any. I
Would be very disappointed.”
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Efron's forehead and back. He paused and stepped forward, his mind turning over and over again, thinking about what gift the old emperor wanted? What should he prepare?
When Efren was seven steps away from the emperor, he stopped. This was the closest a minister like him could get to the emperor according to the rules. Going further was the responsibility of another group of people.
The young man also thought about what the emperor might want, and hurriedly took out the money bag from his arms.
In fact, the emperor had obtained various regulations on banks through Evren very early on from the priests of the Goddess of Gold Coins. However, many of those things were unclear, or the regulations were not detailed. After all, it was only the first edition.
Information. This is why the old emperor sent someone to invite the magician.
But it takes too much time to travel from the Imperial City of Nineveh to the holy city of Estali. During this long journey, the bank set off waves in Estali. The changes were rapid.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a storm. During the journey, Efron continued to pay attention even though he was powerless.
By the time the young men of the Muhashebesi family and Baron Mahmoud finally arrived in the holy city of Estali, the good and bad of banks, the pros and cons, and various discussions had already taken place on the forum.
The most heated discussion is the rules and ratio of exchanging old coins for new coins.
Lin's original strategy of making the good coins minted by the empire be exchangeable for more new money really attracted the people of this huge empire. And he did it from top to bottom.
Even those who insist on opposing it are actually just targeting the power that a certain magician may have in the bank's affairs. Their ultimate goal is to completely dominate the bank and have such financial tools in their hands.
As a new monk of the Church of the Goddess of Gold Coins, Efren learned that he could use the functions of the bank. When he came to Estali, of course he was excited and exchanged all his property for the goddess's new coins. It was just a matter of exchange.
After that, he became worried again.
Because except for Estali, which can use new money, other regions seem to have not recognized it. In particular, the Gwana Empire has its own coins, which are quite repulsive to some coins of unknown origin, and the method of dealing with bad money is even more straightforward.
.If the goddess's new coins were thrown away as bad money, then he would cry without tears.
If the emperor would be interested in something he brought back from Estali, it would be the new coins of the Goddess of Gold Coins. Evren thought to himself. Because even he himself saw the exchanged coins for the first time.
When I bought new coins, I was also fascinated by them.
Not to mention the so-called "Koyin Holy Sound" sound of coins, which will make people fascinated after listening to it. They just want to blow it again and again, and listen again and again.
So he held the money bag in both hands and handed it to the emperor on a red velvet tray held by people who had the status of personal guards and close ministers, and then took a few steps back.
An attendant wearing white gloves poured out all the coins from the purse and inspected them one by one before presenting them to the emperor.
From the appearance point of view, Ke Yin's new coins are of a completely different level from the coins that can be minted with the current Midi technology. The Gwana Empire has advanced technology and can mint double-sided coins. In fact, hand-carving and engraving are still indispensable.
The process of polishing.
Therefore, when two coins are put together, the difference can still be seen. Moreover, in the process of use, the wear and tear of the coins will make the difference between the coins themselves and the originals greater and greater, and eventually they will become bad money.
But Ke Yin's new coins don't have this kind of trouble, and they also have divine protection. If you pick two coins and compare them at random, it's impossible to find the slightest difference. This is even true for gold coins compared to silver coins, or gold coins compared to copper coins.
.
Thinking of the news on the forum, the old emperor tried to blow on the coin and then put it to his ear to listen. However, the rumored 'Ke Yin Sheng Yin' did not appear, and he showed a confused expression.
How could Evren, who was watching from the side, not understand the problem His Majesty the Emperor encountered. At least holding the edge of the coin and blowing air toward the center was wrong. So the young man from the Muhashebesi family didn't care.
Regarding whether it was rash, I said directly: "Your Majesty, this is not how you blow. You gently hold the center of the coin, then blow hard towards the edge of the coin, and then immediately put it to your ear. Hey, yes, yes,
That's it."
The old emperor followed the young man's instructions and finally blew the sound of the coin. He said with surprise: "It can really sound. Is this the function of divine power?"
"No, Your Majesty. I once asked the great magician Lord Tripwood, and he said that as long as the metal is the same, the sound will be the same. But the metal sheet must be made thin enough and even enough.
Only then can you make a sound."
"That's it." His tone was very calm, as if he didn't care. But the old emperor acted like everyone who comes into contact with Coin coins for the first time, blowing one for another. He just wanted to hear it, and it was different.
Does the sound of precious metals really differ? And the sound of the same precious metal will always be the same.
However, Emperor Armin did not forget the purpose of calling the people here. Therefore, while blowing the coins to listen to the sound, he said: "My child, tell me about what you saw in Estali."
