The 100 million gold dugah that the Fogel family used to save the market is not all its own assets, of which 30 million gold duggard is the "aftermath money" deposited by Roland.

Now Anthony finally knows what Roland meant by "aftercare".

With Roland's signature, the Fogel family bank was entrusted with putting the 30 million real money on the market to buy back the Imperial gold banknotes at a three-fold par price.

Today, the right to issue imperial banknotes is still nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Finance and the central bank, but with the reorganization of the central bank and the change of equity, the right to issue banknotes has actually been transferred to the hands of the capital group headed by Fogel and Weinstein. Even for the sake of their own interests, the capital group has the incentive to prepare sufficient reserves for gold banknotes to maintain their credit and purchasing power.

Now that Imperial Gold is well stocked, credit is assured, and over time it has been reborn, and one day its purchasing power will return to par value. Roland's wave of "back to the gun" type of investment can be described as a successful bottom-taker, and it will definitely be very profitable. It's just that that's all for later.

……

In the holy city of Assan, the sky was covered with cumulonimbus clouds, as if the resentment of millions of people was manifested. In the midst of this financial catastrophe of unprecedented devastation, in which the wealth of countless people has been looted by speculators, there are certainly reasons for resentment.

Whether natural or man-made, whenever a disaster occurs, the victims always have two common demands. The first is to demand that the ruling authorities quell the disaster as soon as possible and provide compensation to the victims, which the reconstituted Reichsbank is doing; In addition to this, the people also demanded that someone take responsibility for the losses they had suffered, as a way to vent their grievances.

The reason why the imperial currency reform has fallen into today's predicament is that Crown Prince Frank, as the helmsman of the reform, is to blame in the first place. However, after all, he is the crown prince, the future monarch of this country, and there are very few people in the imperial government and the opposition who have the courage to publicly criticize His Royal Highness the crown prince.

To be sure, John Raul was not wronged by these accusations, after all, the entire theoretical system of imperial gold money was built according to his ideas, and Frank was also obedient to him in the practical practice of issuing gold money. John Lauer swore to Frank on more than one occasion that the paper money system he had created was foolproof. Now it turns out that his promise is as unreliable as the face value of paper money, and he is not wronged by this "scapegoat" at all.

In order to appease the anger of the people, Frank had to break his wrist and abandon this right-hand man and instruct the cabinet to remove John Lauer from public office. The signal could not have been more obvious, and the "Reform Club" reacted immediately by announcing John Lauer's expulsion from the newspapers. The response of the Imperial Central University was not slow, and in the evening of the same day it publicly declared that John Lauer would be stripped of his teaching position, and that this liar could not be allowed to continue to mislead people's children.

The next morning, the bailiff of the Holy City Court suddenly broke into John Lauer's house, presented an official document, and coldly declared that the court suspected that he had taken advantage of his position to enrich himself while presiding over the issuance of gold notes, and therefore wanted to temporarily take him into custody pending trial.

John Lauer behaved stubbornly in the interrogation room, insisting that he had been wronged and flatly denying all the charges against him. In order to make this case an ironclad case, the court sent bailiffs to raid John Lauer's apartment in the city and his villa in the town outside the city.

As a result, the bailiffs were a step late, and rumors of John Lauer using his right to issue gold money to take bribes to enrich his own pockets have spread through the streets of the Holy City. The small burghers, who had suffered heavy losses in the turmoil of gold speculation, were worried that they could not find a scapegoat to vent their anger, and when they heard the news, they all became agitated, and rushed into John Lauer's apartment in droves, and smashed and burned everything that could be moved. When the bailiffs arrived, the mob dispersed, leaving only a place of ruins, and there was no "evidence of the crime" to be found.

John Lauer's country house did not escape the disaster either, and was later looted and eventually burned.

John Lauer was arrested on August 16, and Frank learned the news the next morning. Although his attitude towards John Lauer has turned cold, he is well aware that this red-haired man is not a corrupt bureaucrat who "uses his position to enrich himself" as he is rumored. In fact, John Lauer despised the corrupt officials the most. He had a lofty ideal of building a more modern financial kingdom, and the foundation of this dream kingdom was his paper money system, and in order to realize this great ideal, he did not allow himself to indulge in personal interests.

It is precisely because of the understanding of John Lauer's arrogant personality that Frank dared to entrust him with such a major event as the issuance of gold banknotes, never supervising it, and truly did not use suspicious people, and did not suspect people. It's a pity that John Lauer has failed his trust on another level, this red-haired man is indeed honest and self-loving, but Frank did not discover in time that he has a flaw that is more serious than corruption and bribery, that is, he is ambitious and talented, and his eyes are low.

Frank felt pity for John Lauer when he learned of his detention, and for the sake of his past feelings, he immediately wrote a letter of clarification to the chief justice of the capital and sent someone to the court. That afternoon, John Lauer was acquitted, and his short prison sentence made him look like he had aged twenty years, by which time he had been reduced to a penniless, homeless and discredited homeless man.

When he first arrived in the Holy City ten years ago, John Lauer was as depressed as he is today, but at that time he was still young, with dreams and enthusiasm, and now he has fallen from the altar to the bottom, losing not only his wealth and reputation, but also his indomitable fighting spirit.

Frank sent him some money to escort him out of the Holy City and take refuge in a small monastery in the middle of nowhere. As for whether this is a temporary escape from the limelight or left to his own devices, John Lauer himself has no idea.

In any case, John "Redheaded" is not a man who easily admits defeat. He settled down in the monastery and, full of indignation and grievance, wrote a letter to Frank and asked him to bring it back to the Holy City.

Frank was still toiling about the aftermath at this time, and he was exhausted from exhaustion at the end of the day. When I received John Lauer's letter, I opened it casually and looked at it, and my brows couldn't help but lock.
