Arold placed his fist in front of Prince Otto, then turned his palm upwards and opened his fist to show Prince Otto, in the center of which was a round coin.

"What is this?" Prince Otto picked up the round silver coin, one side of which was engraved with a double-headed eagle, and the other side of which appeared to be the silhouette of a man's face.

"Exclusive circulating silver coins belonging to your kingdom." Arold pointed to the silver coin and explained to Prince Otto.

"Exclusive Silver? It looks exquisite! Prince Otto looked at the pattern on both sides of the coin, and was even more surprised that the edge of the coin had an even scale.

"This scale is to prevent someone from cutting off the corners." The scale on the periphery of this silver coin made from the smelting base is artificial, and there is no way to rely on the craftsmanship of craftsmen until the technology arrives.

"But it's normal to cut off the corners, otherwise how would you pay for all that odds and ends?" Prince Otto asked, puzzled.

"Cutting out coins can lead to counterfeiting, but don't worry, look at this." Arold opened a wooden chest on the table, and found that there were several silver coins from small to large, all as delicate as those in Prince Otto's hand.

"I see, that's good." Prince Otto sighed and said that Arold always surprised him very much, and the wise Prince Otto knew that these delicate silver coins would be loved by nobles and merchants.

"Your Royal Highness, if you are willing to use this silver coin as the unified currency of the kingdom, I believe that you will be able to strengthen the prestige of the royal family." Arold looked at Prince Otto's reaction and said cautiously.

"Hmm." Prince Otto took the round silver coin in his hand and carefully felt the texture of the silver coin with his fingers, and he was satisfied with the texture and weight of the silver coin.

"Your Royal Highness?" Arold asked again.

"My kingdom should circulate this delicate coin, but I can't force everyone to use it, and you know that the silver coins of the southern and western kingdoms are also circulating in the kingdom." Prince Otto said with a shrug.

"It doesn't matter. Your Highness, I have an idea. Arold whispered in Prince Otto's ear.

"Yes, yes, great idea." Prince Otto listened to Arrod's words, smiled and nodded, and understood Arrod's wisdom better.

In this way, not only can the hearts of the princes be subdued. It also allows them to cooperate with the circulation of this currency. Arold winked slyly and said to Prince Otto.

"My friend, you have a good idea, but I can't pay so many silver coins?" Prince Otto said with a wry smile.

"I will provide the royal family with plenty of money, but only on one condition." Arrod knew that the time was ripe to negotiate conditions, and he said slowly.

"On what terms?" Prince Otto asked.

"I ask the royal family to recognize that Mecklenburg will be the only principality that will legally issue such coins." Arrod said slowly, but at the same time, his heart beat violently a few times.

"What do I think is the matter? This coin is also made only by Mecklenburg. Prince Otto said with a smile.

"Thank you so much." Arold quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that people in the Middle Ages, even if they were as intelligent as Prince Otto, did not understand the powerful forces behind the issuance of currency.

Prince Otto was only a guest in Mecklenburg for about three days, and then soon left to return to his palace, where King Henry was critically ill, and many of the pretenders to the throne did not relax at all.

"Soros, I want you to lead a fleet of ships that will trade all the way to the west coast." Arold commanded his Jewish courtier, Soros.

"Sailing west?" Soros asked curiously. As soon as Prince Otto left, Arold summoned him, seeing that the situation was still very urgent.

"That's right. According to the information, there are some rich towns west of us, along the coastline, and they were the only ones who used to come to us to do business, and now we have to do business with them. Arjod knew that the only way to accumulate money as quickly as possible was to trade westwards in the direction of the British Isles. and the Hanseatic towns were all strongholds that could be traded, but at this time the people did not have a map, so they could not understand each other.

"Oh, what should we sell?" Soros is a clever Jewish mind. Immediately reacted and said to Arrod.

"Our smelting base, sell some inferior weapons and armor, as well as special pottery as goods, there!" Arold said to Soros.

"Understood, my duke." Soros nodded in agreement.

"And I'll send some soldiers to follow you, it's not peaceful between the English Channel." Arold knew that there were many pirates in the North Sea, and he had to arm his fleet, otherwise it would be bad to be robbed by the North Sea pirates.

"Yes, Lord Duke."

"Oh yes, equip the ship with bed crossbows and Greek fire, just in case." Arold thought about it, and felt that it was not safe to increase the armament.

"I'll do it, Lord Duke." Soros said after bowing to Arold.

"Ah, I'm really tired, if I do this great thing for the royal family, the currency issuance power of the entire kingdom will be in my hands, and the issuance of currency in the name of the king means that the kingdom's money bag is in the palm of my hand." When Arjod had done all this, he sat down in his chair, leaned back, closed his eyes and sighed softly, thinking so to himself.

Days of entertaining Prince Otto, and trying to figure out how to raise money, made Arold extremely tired, and his relationship with his wife, Princess Josie, did not ease, so Arold could only stay in other places at night, although there were slave girls who occasionally relieved their tired minds, but they still felt very empty inside.

At this moment, a pair of white arms were placed on his shoulders, and the heat sprayed into his ears, making his ears tickle, and Arold opened his eyes and was greeted by a strand of red hair, and he immediately knew who it was.

"Harvey, what are you doing?" Arold hurriedly pushed Harvey's hands away and said to his spy leader.

"What? I heard that you trained a Slavic slave girl all night and refused to return to your bedroom, and now you are afraid of your wife? Harvey, dressed in tight-fitting leather armor that accentuated her proud figure, leaned back in her chair and sneered at Arold.

"You should care more about the enemy at home, not about my private affairs." Arold frowned, reached out and touched his beard, and said dissatisfied.

"Hmph, you coward." Suddenly, Harvey put his arms around Arrod's neck, bent down and bit Arold's lip fiercely, and Arold wanted to struggle under the pain, but the bitten mouth couldn't move.

"Smack." While struggling, Arold's gaze swept to the door of the conference hall and found Princess Josie looking at them dumbfounded, Arold hurriedly pushed Harvey away.

"Josie, listen to me." Arold did what all men would say, he stood up and nearly knocked Harvey down, and when he tried to catch up, Princess Josie turned and ran away.

"Well, the little princess is jealous." Harvey sat on the ground and said with a nonchalant smile.

"You've done a good job." Arold had no choice but to complain and stride after Princess Josie.

"Hey, it's so boring~." Harvey looked at Arrod's back, simply lay on the ground and sighed. (To be continued.) )
