"So for the sake of the people, I must dig out bit by bit the food and various resources they have stored in the Kingdom of Cleveland." Aslan said righteously.
But soon, Nomiri rolled her eyes.
Because it sounds simple to say, but it is impossible to do it.
The amount of various resources that Maxim Federation reserves in the Kingdom of Cleveland cannot be described in numbers at all, and can even influence the prices of the entire Kingdom of Cleveland. However, they dare not do that because they are afraid that in the end, if they are pushed hard, the Kingdom of Cleveland will directly
table.
However, if prices are raised appropriately when encountering natural or man-made disasters, there is nothing the Kingdom of Cleveland can do.
After all, they have no confidence and no macro-control.
As for food reserves, based on the experience of Aslan's two rebirths, Xino Continent is not active in agricultural development due to its high food yield, and it has no habit of storing food.
Except for some large agricultural provinces, they will more or less reserve some, but that is not because they deliberately reserve it, but because they cannot sell it.
Aslan returned to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce and continued to wait and see. The exchange rate of gold coins on the black market was getting faster and faster. In the end, the mark coins could no longer bear it, and he finally took action to increase the price of the mark coins.
In order to ensure the strength of the mark and compete with the gold coin, it is impossible to rely on the existing gold standard, so they must find new commodities to stabilize the mark.
Among them, food and steel have become the new favorites. Of course, the magician's expensive magic crystal is also indispensable.
Early the next morning, Aslan called Yitzhak to Huang Jian'an Magic Academy, and he handed Aslan a piece of information.
Aslan just glanced at it for the first time and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The Maxim Federation has formed strategic alliances with the four largest grain-producing countries, the three largest steel-producing countries in the Sinoa Continent, and magic crystal developers across the continent.
These countries and major magic crystal developers unanimously issued statements that any country that wants to trade these three materials must have reserves of Mark coins.
"Now we are in trouble." Aslan said with a solemn expression.
Yitzhak nodded, and this time even Joshua attended the meeting.
Aslan took a sip of water and said: "The Maxim Federation plans to forcefully implement the mainland currency and make the mark the first currency in the mainland."
"Does this have any impact?" Yitzhak also realized something was wrong, but he didn't understand what was wrong.
Aslan remembered that in his previous life, it would be more than ten years before the Maxim Federation implemented the commodity mark currency system. After all, they still did not have enough commodity reserves.
“The commodity mark currency system will bring unimaginable benefits to the Maxim Federation. When the Maxim Federation encounters debt and foreign trade deficits, it only needs to start the printing press to print the mark currency to solve these problems and maintain the stability of the national economy.
Balance. In this process, Maxim Federation only needs to pay a very small printing cost, but the printed Marks have the same purchasing power as other Marks on the market, which may cause inflation in other countries.
the result of."
Hearing this, even Joshua was not calm.
"We must not let Maxim Federation's plan succeed." Joshua said decisively.
Aslan shook his head and said: "This is difficult. Maxim Federation must have been planning for many years."
"Is there no other way?" Yitzhak asked nervously.
"It's not impossible! The mark has risen strongly, but its status is not unshakable. The Maxim Federation's role as a financial hegemon on the continent and the world's policeman in recent years has made many countries unhappy. Most countries
Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, but other grain and other steel exporting countries increase production and still maintain the strength of gold coins, which can completely overwhelm the mark coins. After all, gold coins are made of gold, while mark coins are printed on paper.
of."
Aslan said with a strange expression.
Joshua's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "This is very simple. As long as the kingdom's food production is increased, as long as the food is not dependent on imports, part of the dependence on the Mark currency can be completely solved. The only thing is what should be done with the excess food."
After Joshua finished speaking, he looked at Aslan with bright eyes.
Aslan smiled helplessly.
"We can vigorously develop the breeding industry and use the extra grain to raise various livestock. Enough meat can greatly improve the physical fitness and physical quality of the people."
Yitzhak's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he quickly shook his head.
These things are simple to say, but very difficult to do.
The food output in Xinuo Continent is indeed very high, but the farming technology is very backward. It depends entirely on the weather. Almost more than 90% of the farmland is built on the banks of rivers or lakes to ensure sufficient water sources.
Mills have indeed become popular in Kyoto, but there has never been any significant development regarding waterwheels.
This is also caused by the abnormal technology tree in this world. The huge food production is enough to feed most of the population, so no one has considered agricultural technology and increasing the scale of agriculture.
Over time, it is not a simple matter to break such a bottleneck. It is simply impossible for magicians to solve this problem.
As for those ordinary people who are illiterate, it is impossible to expand production because there is such a thing as aristocrats.
Once it develops, it will definitely be plundered by local nobles. In order to ensure the technological leadership of their own territory, the nobles who seize technology will not let this technology leak out. Even if they die, they will take it to their graves.
For various reasons, the people have almost no future except farming. This is also the policy of obscuring the people that all the nobles and the country in the mainland have agreed to.
Therefore, the development of magic and fighting spirit in Xinuo Continent has extended to many professions and even special technology trees. However, there has been no progress in the development of people's livelihood for more than a hundred years.
Many people even think that as long as they master the power, they can crush everything.
Aslan did not continue on this topic, but cleverly changed the topic.
As the saying goes, your butt determines your head.
Aslan is also a noble, and now he has stepped into the system of a great noble. What he does in the territory is his business, and other nobles will not care about it. But if he dares to come up with random ideas and destroy the existing
The aristocratic system will definitely become the target of public criticism.
So Aslan decided to quietly make a fortune. As for other issues, that was something that the Royal Academy of Magic needed to consider.
"The first thing we need to do now is to purchase grain on a large scale to prepare for our future break with the Maxim Federation," Aslan said.
