Or to put it another way, the Northland Alliance was established by a joint decision of the Northland countries. It is equivalent to everyone jointly setting up a company, so the money of the Northland Alliance is actually the money of the Northland countries.
It is only natural to use the money from the Northland Alliance to subsidize the investment of various countries in the security of the Northland.
In fact, even if the subsidy to Xia Duo and Ye Erlan was as high as 90 million this time, no country raised objections. Some even deliberately released water during the evaluation process and did not completely cut off the 90 million water.
.
Because those Alliance mages responsible for evaluation know that the evaluation standards they give now will most likely benefit themselves in the future.
As for whether the Northland Alliance will have a financial deficit due to these subsidies, it actually does not require them to think too much. Currently, the Northland Alliance has two major financial resources -
The computing power pool and the giant mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains are both producing stably and even continuing to rise.
What they should worry about most is not that the alliance will run out of money, but how to reasonably and legally convert this large amount of continuously rising public funds into their own private wealth under the supervision of various countries.
This is actually an art, and you can't just get away with it by just inflating your expenses. After all, everyone's money is being spent, and no one wants to be taken advantage of by others, so the rules must be fair.
Although the quotation given to Xia Duo and Ye Erlan this time still has a certain degree of water content, it is already within the scope allowed by the rules and may be able to withstand review and audit.
Correspondingly, with the endorsement of rules and procedures, Xia Duo was completely at ease with taking the money, and he had even begun to plan the use of this windfall.
A considerable part of this will be used to issue the official currency of the territory [Blue Gold Coins].
At present, the blue gold coins in Daxia Territory have developed into the second stage, that is, the territory is fully popularized and is continuously exported to the outside world. A large amount of gold and silver is needed to create new coins!
In addition to physical currency, Xia Duo is also preparing to try to issue digital currency, which is the balance function on the citizen ID card. This was planned before, but now it is slightly ahead of schedule.
There are two main reasons why we need to prepare in advance. One is that this windfall must find a place for it, and it is very suitable as a reserve fund for digital currency.
The other is the decay area, which has become a refresh point of divine favor for him. In the future, as long as he continues to play the role of a student or spends a small amount of money to obtain the operator status of the Alliance Sacrifice Plan, he can obtain a large amount of divine favor.
He took the opportunity to improve the patent barrier construction of the Communication Mystery Lock and increase the cost of elf imitation. This allowed his past plan to promote the Communication Mystery Lock to be implemented ahead of schedule.
In order to cooperate with the promotion of communication Mysuo, digital currency is also necessary, because the promotion of Mysuo will inevitably be accompanied by the emergence of a large number of new paid functions.
User payments in Netheril can be made at the offices of the Tower of Time partner, the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce. This is not a hassle. After all, the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce has offices in almost larger towns across the country.
However, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce does not have that much influence abroad. Even if it can find local partners, the cost of maintaining such cooperation is not low.
In fact, there is a cost for domestic open water to be collected by the chamber of commerce, but it is not without cost. In this case, digital currency is particularly important.
It is enough for the Tower of Time to open a small number of offices for users to recharge. These offices can actually be combined with the Void Warehouse Chamber of Commerce or other stores.

If we can reach a cooperation with the Northland Alliance in the future and distribute the subsidy to each user from the alliance's public computing power pool in the form of digital blue gold coins, it will be considered as a preliminary closed loop.
In this process, the blue gold coins of Daxia Ling can also be successfully embedded into the financial system of the entire Northland with the help of the computing power pool system.
Even if everything develops smoothly in the future, it is not impossible to become the only legal currency in the North.
The starting point of all this is the issuance of digital blue gold coins.
Sha Duo attaches great importance to this plan. It is not only related to his important strategy in the longer term in the future, but also can be used to deal with the subsequent depreciation of gold and silver due to the continued output of giant mithril in the Gray Peak Mountains. (Mithril
It is an associated mine and produces more gold and silver)
He does not expect to rely on digital blue gold coins to harvest the Northland, but he also does not want his wealth to shrink significantly due to the depreciation of gold and silver. In this case, a more stable currency must be anchored.
As long as his plan is good enough and stable enough, he might be able to enter other countries first without waiting to cooperate with the alliance.
After all, no one can guarantee that their wealth will not depreciate due to the flooding of gold and silver, except for the winner of the snowmelt competition that year (who can get additional dividends from the mineral income of the Gray Peak Mountains), similar to how wealth growth on earth cannot outpace inflation.
Especially for those small countries, their size is there. Once gold and silver flood (the output of the Gray Peak Mountains is higher than the total value of small countries), big countries may even directly buy the bottom.
In this case, even if there is no digital blue gold coin, countries will most likely find ways to recreate a new, more stable currency.
For example, in order to cope with the continued output of gold and silver in the Gray Peak Mountains, Cormanthor updated their magic coins, which are more difficult to imitate and more expensive than in the past.
In the past, Cormanthor's magic coins have always been the common currency in the North, and even Ilfarang, who is most hostile to Cormanthor, will not refuse Cormanthor's magic coin transactions.
But in the past, the gold and silver output in the North has been relatively stable, which is basically consumption (gold and silver can also be used as magic materials, especially gold, as long as the quantity is large, the performance is better than mithril and is more stable).
Therefore, the exchange ratio between the currencies of various countries and the Comanso currency is basically maintained at 1:1. This is a stable exchange ratio brought about by the value of gold and silver itself.
Now, as the gold and silver output of the Gray Peak Mountains continues to increase, the price of magic coins also continues to rise. The most exaggerated exchange ratio has reached 1 Hilmer (Cormanthor gold coin) for 2 standard gold coins.
Specific to the different standards of gold coins in different countries, the actual exchange ratio may be even more exaggerated. For example, for the clearwater gold coins issued by the Netheril Clearwater Chamber of Commerce, it takes almost 8 coins to exchange for 1 Hilmer.
The exchange ratio for Evereska gold coins is almost the same.
Countries all want to issue their own magic coins, but currency issuance is a continuous process. The cost of magic coins is much higher than the face value of the currency. Small countries simply cannot use it. Issuing it hastily may become a shortcut for others to attack.
The blue gold coin discovered by Xia Duo is actually a kind of magic coin, but he did not use arcane magic to add anti-counterfeiting marks to the blue gold coin. Instead, he used the power of order spell. The cost at this stage is almost negligible.
But if he wants to imitate the Cormanthor magic coin, it is very uneconomical. The imitation coin that costs far more than 1 gold coin can only be used as 1 gold coin, and only fools do it.
