Chapter 379: Chaotic Ideological Situation (Page 1/1)

Both the Holy See and the Wittelsbach family were completely defeated by Eugen, and the Central Bank of Lyble began to spread throughout the empire, gradually becoming the standard bank of the entire country.

At this time, the Holy See was also in a strong turmoil, Eugen's strong intervention completely muddied the waters, and there was no longer a single will in the Holy See, and there was not even any right or wrong, and there were contradictions everywhere.

Walking through the Holy See, one can see priests, priests, and sometimes even ordinary people and nuns participating in the debate.

Everyone has their own beliefs, their own ideas, and when they read the Bible, they develop their own understanding of some of the contents.

Because there was no uniform standard, everyone began to argue for the theories they believed in, and everyone stopped holding back, because no one would jump out and accuse them, and no one would say that they were infidels.

Eugen violently destroyed the framework of the Holy See, erased all the rules and regulations, he was a liberator, liberated people's minds, liberated people who were imprisoned.

Martin Luther became a cardinal, and began to promote his ideas in the Holy See, and some priests who believed in the old theories began to come out and debate with him, and as the debate progressed, the old ideas became more and more weak and untenable.

The indulgences were thrown on the ground and trampled on them with all the force they tossed, and there were footprints all over them, and no one cared about them anymore.

Authority is gone, everyone is chasing the theories they want, and Martin Luther has nothing to refute the old school.

However, his own theories were soon refuted, and some people used the content of the Bible to break Martin Luther's theories, and they were all ironclad evidence, and Martin Luther had no way to refute them, so he could only change his own theories.

When everything is in chaos, all kinds of ideas come alive, and people find themselves seeing more and more clearly, thinking of many things that they had never thought of before.

The vitality of the mind became a force that began to promote the transformation of the whole society.

At the same time, the institute in the city of Lebor became a new kind of ideological benchmark, the idea of science.

The idea of science spread within the Holy Roman Empire, and the products produced by science and technology began to change every aspect of people's lives, and new inventions appeared every day.

Eugen has given the greatest encouragement and support to science and technology, even if it is an ordinary person without any identity background, as long as he can invent, produce some good products, and research what new technology, he can get a generous bonus in the research institute and get research support.

The lords of various places also discovered the role of science, imitated Eugen's approach, began to fund scientific research, and carried out various research and development, hoping to catch up with the tide of this era.

The effect of the ecclesiastical revolution in the Holy Roman Empire was enormous, the restrictions of thought were not touched, and the whole empire began to exude vitality, of which science and technology were only one of the important aspects.

Another change is happening economically.

According to the thinking of the church in the past, the pursuit of wealth was a mistake, and the rich would be doubly difficult to go to heaven in the future.

But now things are different, people are beginning to respect wealth, respect those who earn it by their own efforts, and commerce and trade are flourishing like never before.

Many people with ideas got involved in business activities, and it was at this time that Charles VI issued a tax reduction decree to support commercial trade, which injected a strong force into the whole market.

However, gradually, the development of commerce has also been somewhat hindered, and the original metal currency can gradually not meet the demand for transactions, after all, these currencies themselves are also a kind of goods that can be used, iron, copper, and silver also play an important role in scientific and technological production, and it is a waste to use these resources to mint money.

Under these circumstances, Eugen duly proposed to Charles VI the idea of printing paper money, and now the central bank of the city of Lebber had spread throughout the country, and people were depositing gold and silver money in the banks to earn interest.

People see the power that Eugen has, and with Eugen as a guarantee, their trust in the central bank is also very high.

With these basic conditions, there will not be much problem in issuing banknotes, as long as Charles VI orders it, it can be carried out with the water.

However, when Eugen proposed this plan, Chancellor of the Exchequer Marcus jumped out, he thought that Eugen's idea was completely unrealistic, using waste paper instead of gold and silver, who would do such a stupid thing.

In response, Eugen smashed a bank passbook directly into Marcus's face, and there is no doubt that bank passbooks are similar to paper money in many ways.

Marcuston was speechless, could only sigh secretly, and said in his heart: "I'm sorry, Duke of Lorraine, I can't stop Eugen anymore. ”

Under Eugen's detailed introduction, Charles VI finally understood Eugen's thoughts, and he was able to see how much benefit this was, which could be said to be a major attempt for the entire empire, and could greatly improve the strength of the entire empire.

After thinking about it, Charles VI directly agreed with Eugen's approach, and he personally issued a state edict allowing Eugen to issue the first set of paper money in the Holy Roman Empire according to the central bank of the city of Lebour, which circulated throughout the country.

Marcus saw this situation, and he was helpless, he was originally the finance minister of the empire, but now, he is equivalent to being completely hollowed out by Eugen, many things in this aspect of finance have been Eugen has the final say, and when the central bank has the power to issue paper money, Eugen's control over the finance will be further increased.

Charles VI, of course, knew what Marcus was thinking, but he only smiled, he was completely relieved about Eugen, and if nothing else, the fact that Eugen also had the surname Habsburg could explain a lot.

What's more, Eugen is still his son-in-law, and in the future, Maria will become the empress of the empire, and with Eugen as her supporter, Charles VI can also be completely assured.

He had decided to wait until Christmas when Eugen and Maria got married, and then announced his abdication to allow Maria to take the position of empress.

He didn't say anything about this decision, but quietly wrote it in the state edict.
