Section 24
Derick Danny is a little excited at the moment, the preliminary work of currency reform has begun, and he is confident that in the next few years, this work will be carried out in every corner of the empire, and the reform of banks everywhere will be completed.
However, the demotion of his uncle Bowenwright some time ago made Derick Danny suddenly have a little more fear of imperial power in his heart, and at the same time, he also made him understand a truth: the reason why he was able to become the finance minister of the empire from a traitor was completely due to the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, and... This favor is not permanent.
But he knew that the favor would last, but at the cost of his loyalty.
Derick-Danny doesn't mind showing his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor now, at least willingly for now.
Following the orc secretary-general, Darek Danny gathered his thoughts and cautiously walked into the office, the strong smell of cigars and tobacco made him feel more intimate, and the rough and atmospheric furnishings of the office also made him feel a trace of pressure, especially when His Majesty the Emperor cast his gaze, he almost subconsciously bowed.
"Your Majesty!"
"I don't have much time today, long story short, Sir. ”
"You have ten minutes. Wolfma stepped back and whispered a reminder in Darik Danny's ear.
Derick Danny nodded and took out a report from his leather pouch as he spoke, "Your Majesty, this is the real-time news from the Baran Town Exchange an hour ago, less than two hours after the West Road Mining Chamber of Commerce was listed, it rose to 3 crowns per share, and the 200,000 shares have all been sold out!"
"How can it be so fast?"
Pedi's eyelids jumped, 200,000 shares were sold out in two hours, and 300,000 kroner was raised in just two hours! Moreover, the value of the shares sold is now worth 600,000 kroner. What about continuing to issue another 200,000 shares at today's market value?
It's a very tempting idea, but you can't do it!
Pedi finally resisted the temptation, "The value of this chamber of commerce must be in line with the market, the empire is now financially healthy, there is no need for too radical methods to extract cash, and there is plenty of time for currency reform, so we don't need to rush it." ”
"But... The management of the Chamber of Commerce proposes to issue an additional 200,000 shares!" said Derick Danny, pulling another report from his pocket.
"Two hundred thousand shares will allow nearly one-tenth of the Empire's cash to circulate in the market of Balan Town, and if another 200,000 shares are issued, what do you think will happen?" Pei Di shook his head, "My opinion is to discuss the issue of additional shares after the Chamber of Commerce has paid dividends for three quarters. ”
"Knock knock" Pedy's fingers tapped lightly on the table, roughly scanning the two documents handed over by Derick Danny, "Although I don't know much about the laws and operation of the capital market, I know that there is nothing wrong with careful observation, I need the market stock survey report for the next year, as well as the detailed data of the national economy, and then decide whether to issue additional shares." ”
"Your Majesty, the purpose of our establishment of the West Road Mining Chamber of Commerce is to reform the currency system, not to develop this Chamber of Commerce. Darick Danny leaned forward slightly.
"If the stock does not meet the market value, even if the paper money is exchanged, it will eventually break out into an economic crisis that will affect the entire empire. "Of course, if the empire was in debt, I might try to take a risk, but now my empire is financially stable. ”
"It is precisely because of the stable economic conditions that the country of the empire today has good credit, and it is..."
"Sir, it's my decision, I don't want to dwell on it. Pedi unceremoniously interrupted Derick, for he was afraid that the other party would really move him, "Let's talk about the logistics of the Confederates, you... Six minutes to go. ”
Darick Danny's language was sluggish, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"When are all the strategic supplies destined for Cooktown expected to arrive?" Pedi didn't want to waste six minutes, he asked for the answers he wanted to know.
"It can be done in fifteen days!"
"I want the exact time, sir. ”
"Anything can happen at sea, and we can't estimate the exact time, but I'm sure it's going to be less, not more!"
"You promise?"
"Yes, I promise!"
"Good. Pedy was pleased with Derick Danny's answer, "So, can the airship be built faster?"
"The airship project is under the responsibility of the Ministry of War, and the joint laboratory is financially independent, and only needs to submit financial statements to the State Administration of Taxation every quarter. Derick Danny explained, then spread his hands, "So, I don't have any information on the specific progress of the airship. He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor, who was the largest shareholder of the United Laboratory, would ask him questions about the airship project, and after a little thought, he answered truthfully.
"I heard that the airship in the Clarkley Islands has also been successfully test-flown yet?"
"There are rumors like this, after all... Hot air balloons have been used by them for a long time..."
Pedi interrupted Derick Danny and said, "You don't have to be so careful, I don't mean anything else... Kindness... I mean, is there a financial problem with the development of airships in the Klickra Islands?"
"You want to invest in the Goblin Blimp Factory?" Derick Danny immediately understood the Emperor's intentions.
"Will they say yes?"
"No one can refuse your favor, Your Majesty. Derick Danny said firmly, "I promise the three princes will be happy to make this happen." ”
"So, I'll leave this matter to you?" said Pedy, in an inquiring tone.
"It is my pleasure, Your Majesty. ”
"Very well!" Pei Di showed the emperor's kindness without hesitation, "you can go to the Clarkley Islands on my behalf when you return, you can personally go and talk to the three princes about this matter, and the sooner it can be done, the better, remember... I don't want other countries' airships circling in the skies above the Empire!"
As he spoke, Peddy had already reached the door of his office, and Secretary General Wolfma had already pushed open the door and was waiting for him outside.
"Let's get here first today, the whole army is still waiting for their commander, and I can't let them down. Pedi motioned for Darick Danny to go first.
...
In the attic of the heights outside the Allied headquarters at the Manwis Gorge Fortress, the Emperor was waving to the soldiers who were about to set out.
In the face of His Majesty's greetings from the Emperor, the officers and soldiers assembled at the campus outside the headquarters shouted excitedly to express their inner excitement. In a short time, the trumpets and horns echoed in the sky with a burst of military orders, and the officers of the Imperial First Army, who had been appointed as the vanguard army, walked out of the school yard with their chests puffed out under the emperor's gaze.
This was followed by the Second Army, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, the Paladin Legion, and the Magi, followed by the Mage Tower Army, the Highland Steppe Army, the Norma Fort Army, the Orc Mixed Banner Regiment, the Mercenaries of the Klicker Islands, and the three legions of the Northland Snow Mountain Baru Kingdom.
"The greatest war in human history is about to begin. Archmage Leah muttered to himself as she recorded what had happened, and from time to time she looked at the silent Emperor on the side, wanting to find out how Her Majesty the Emperor was feeling at the moment.
"I hope you made the right decision. Andy Barrett also looked at the young Emperor in front of him after hearing Archmage Leah's words.
Pedi remained silent, he could not answer his cousin's questions because he was not a prophet and could not predict everything, his decision was a choice made after analyzing a bunch of reports. Therefore, he could not predict whether his decision was the right one, but the powerful empire behind him gave him the confidence to win this war.
