After reaching a unanimous opinion, Lawrence and the others immediately got busy with the next work. For example, the priests of the Church of Fortune immediately held a ceremony after returning home in the hope of obtaining divine revelation in this regard. Obviously, from
The smiles on their faces when they met Lawrence the next day showed that at least the gods approved of this.
The communication with the Empire's local side was also very smooth. The Empire agreed not to send supervisors on the premise that Lawrence allowed the Church of Fortune to supervise the entire currency issuance process.
But on the other hand, they said that the wealth previously used as collateral was converted into gold and needed to be stored in the vaults of the Reichsbank as a reserve for the issuance of currency on the new Sauer Island.
After all, New Sauer Island is a noble territory belonging to the Holy Visby Empire, so it is impossible to be completely independent in these aspects. For example, in some cases, the military force on the island must obey the orders of the empire, and for example, the current issuance of currency
It is necessary to consider the thoughts of the empire, especially the emperor.
What's more, in Lawrence's opinion, the reliability of the gold stored in the Holy Visby Empire's vault on a certain astral plane is far better than that stored in a cave on the island. It can also ensure the future
Those currency users are more confident in the security of the currency itself.
In addition to the reserves being kept in the treasury of the empire, the casting and printing of these new currencies on the island are also entrusted to the Royal Mint of the Holy Visby Empire. After all, casting and printing currency is a very complicated matter.
, it is definitely impossible to do it with the current power of New Saul Island. Moreover, the empire’s ideas must also be taken into consideration.
The new currency naturally adopted the monetary unit of the Holy Visby Empire, with the krone as the basic unit and the subsidiary coin Heller.
However, in order to avoid a series of complicated financial problems, the currencies prepared for New Saul Island are completely different from the mainland currencies of the empire in other aspects and can be regarded as a basically independent currency.
In the newly issued currency called the Star Sea Krone, 1 krone is equal to 100 helles. Taking into account the overall economic development of Sauer Island, the economic aggregate and the scope of economic radiation. In terms of exchange rate, the Star Sea Krone is 1 kronor.
Equivalent to 0.25 White Eagle Federal Dollar or 0.2 Holy Visby Imperial Crown.
In terms of face value, the new Star Sea Crown has three denominations of banknotes: 10 Crown, 5 Crown and 1 Crown. Like the Imperial Crown of the Holy Visby Empire, the new currency also has the Imperial Eagle and the denomination number printed on the front, but on the back
The royal family's coat of arms was simply replaced by the coat of arms of Count Sauer.
However, in order to avoid confusion, the Star Sea Krone looks significantly more slender than the Imperial Krone banknotes. More obviously, the main color of the currency has also changed from purple to dark green, which looks different from the Imperial currency in appearance.
Far from it, but closer to the currency of the White Eagle Federation.
The same is true for the small-denomination coins. They also have the imperial eagle plus numbers on the front, and the imperial royal emblem is replaced by the emblem of Count Sauer on the back. The face values are 1 Helle, 2 Helles, 5 Helles, and 10 Helles.
, 50 Helles and 1 Crown. Among them, 1 Helle, 2 Helles and 5 Helles are made of nickel coins, 10 Helles and 50 Helles are made of brass, and the largest denomination of one crown is silver coins.
.
Because the size and material of the coin are completely different from those of the empire, there is no need to worry about being confused with the empire's currency. Moreover, by reducing the use of precious metal currency, he can also avoid some abnormal outflow of the island's currency, which will later cause
There is a deflation problem on the island.
In order to set up the shape of the currency, Lawrence stayed in the communication room of the Goddess of Fortune for several days to communicate with the empire.
Fortunately, with the help of Shu Mei, the most complicated manuscript drawing work in this area became much simpler. After each change, it only took him a few seconds to get the revised drawing.
"It's finally done." After passing the last drawing back to the empire and obtaining permission, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and said. For him who has not had much aesthetic talent in his life, even if the currency design this time is just in the old
Modifying the currency style of the empire is a difficult enough task.
"And the most annoying thing is that the mint can obviously entrust the design." Saifei complained from the side, "But they firmly believe that this new currency is an independent currency, so after receiving our entrustment, they firmly
I think they should not be overly involved in the design of this currency."
"Although I said that, they actually participated in the currency design and kept gesticulating." Nora also looked unhappy on the other side. "For example, at the beginning we wanted the currency to have a red background, but they
Resolutely ask us to change the color on the grounds that red is easily confused with Imperial Crown——"
"Okay, okay, anyway, haven't we already finished these designs?" Listening to the two ladies complaining, Lawrence quickly came out to smooth things over. "This can be considered completed.
Time is the most important thing, and I think we can relax for a while."
During this period, the construction speed of the entire island was greatly accelerated, mainly due to the increase in new immigrants. Because of the victory in many previous wars, many residents of the island sent letters back to their hometown and
Describe their current life to their relatives and friends.
The Visby region, whether it is the states of Northern Visby or the Holy Visby Empire in the south, has been a narrow and densely populated area due to long-term peace, so it has always been the main area for immigrants to the New World. Especially Northern Visby
This is especially true for countries like this that are surrounded by intelligent race territories.
After all, unlike the Holy Visby Empire, they still have newly recovered territories that can be used to settle the new population, and because overseas colonies do not have a unified government, the various small and medium-sized states simply cannot concentrate enough strength.
Collect enough expensive investment for colonization.
Moreover, the overall population of each state in the northern Visby Empire is not large, so the size of the colonial teams that each country can organize is too small. In addition, the previous big countries have already occupied areas that are easier to colonize, so
These countries simply cannot establish their own colonies in such dangerous and wild areas.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for domestic personnel to immigrate to other places. However, the original loss of personnel mainly immigrated to the White Eagle Federation, and now Sauer Island, a territory established by the Visby nobles, is slowly
After getting on the right track, some people chose this island as their immigration destination.
However, considering that this is a colony with agriculture and medicine as its core industries, the people who go to this colony are mainly farmers with their families, and only a few people are technicians. Fortunately, because of Lawrence’s identity and suffering,
Thanks to the church's bonus, several medical professionals come to the island every month to join research institutes and hospitals.
After investigation, Lawrence and the others found that the overall quality of the people who are now immigrating to New Saul Island is very average, but they are very suitable for the island. After all, on the one hand, this can increase the population of the main ethnic group and balance the Algarve Empire from the south.
The introduced immigrants, on the other hand, contribute to the development of agriculture, the main industry on the island.
Although these farmers who immigrated from the northern states of the Visby region have basically never grown rice, the ability to grow rice can be cultivated under the current large-scale plantation model.
On the other hand, as farmers from the Northern Visby State, they were better at engaging in work related to animal husbandry in their hometown. So this naturally made them the main force on the human side in the development of Blue Mountain meadows.
