Chapter 1718: Plan Ahead

"After all, I still sleep comfortably at home......

Roland sat on the bed and felt it. I picked up the pocket watch and looked at it, it was February 10, 1623, six o'clock in the morning.

At the end of his week-long trip to the Holy City, Roland returned to Krasbourg the afternoon before yesterday, first to meet His Majesty Rudolph, then to the cabinet and the central bank departments to say hello, and then to the busy work, until late at night to compile a formal report of what he had seen and felt during his visit to the Empire.

Yesterday morning, Roland submitted his report to the cabinet, telling his experience along the way in front of his father and other ministers, focusing on the internal and external troubles that the Assanian Empire is currently facing.

Rudolf I and his cabinet ministers listened to Roland's nuanced introduction, and they all felt that the empire was in danger at present, and the future of the current cabinet was bleak. Put yourself in your shoes, if you are in the position of the ruler of the empire, what can you do to support the building from falling?

With mixed feelings, Rudolph asked his son to talk about the bailout measures of the imperial high-ups.

Roland took the opportunity to talk about the ideas of the "reformers" in the empire and the contradictions between the "reformers" and the "conservatives", and the differences between the two sides were vividly displayed at the "round table" held not long ago. As a participant in the seminar, Roland told the original story of what he had seen and felt at the venue, and finally talked about the dilemma between "conservatives" and "reformers" in Crown Prince Frank.

Frank supports reforms, but he doesn't want to be kidnapped by the big financiers behind the reformers, the Imperial Financial Capital Group, and at the same time, Frank does not dare to openly offend the senior clergy of the Holy See of Light, the backbone of the conservatives. In this dilemma, he tried to solve the Empire's financial dilemma without turning to the capitalist bloc or angering the senior clergy, and the only way he could think of it was currency reform. ”

"Frank decided to issue banknotes?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Zahar was the first to react.

Roland nodded, his face was extremely grim: "Frank consulted me for this, I gave a relatively conservative strategy, but unfortunately failed to win his appreciation, but John Lauer's more radical banknote issuance plan was favored by Frank, I dare not say that the empire's currency reform will fail, but the possibility of failure is very high, and the chain consequences will cause a disaster that affects all levels of society." ”

"I wish this day had come sooner!" Rudolph sneered.

"Your Majesty, the fall of the Yashan Empire may not be all good for our country." Roland reminded his father, "Once Frank's monetary reform fails, it will inevitably lead to a financial crisis, and the financial crisis, which is purely created by human greed, is not limited to one country and one place like natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, etc., the financial crisis has a strong negative externality, and its impact is destined to spill over the borders of the country, and also cause different degrees of harm to the countries around the birthplace, if the response is not done properly, the Far East may also be affected by a chain reaction, and a financial crisis will break out!" ”

As the head of the Central Bank of the Far East, Roland is in charge of the financial authority of the Kingdom of Kolas and even the entire "Far Eastern Royal Court", and no one knows better than him the inherent fragility of the financial industry.

"I hear you say that, if the economic reforms that the Asshan Empire is about to implement fail, it will be like an outbreak of the Black Death, and the epidemic will automatically spread to the surrounding countries, leaving us at risk of contracting the epidemic?" Rudolph looked at his son with a solemn expression.

Roland nodded affirmatively.

"Your Majesty's analogy is very appropriate, the financial crisis is like an infectious disease, and the economic structure of a country is like the human body. On the other hand, if a country's economic structure is very healthy, it will not be infected even if the epidemic is epidemic, and it will naturally resist the invasion of the epidemic with its own strong immunity. ”

"Roland, my country's current economic structure is relatively healthy, right?" Commerce Minister Yevgenia asked.

Roland smiled and affirmed her optimistic view, but added: "Our real economy is very healthy, what plague, the Black Death is not afraid, the financial industry can only be said to be good, but there are also some weaknesses, such as our silver banknote, after all, this is also a congenital deficiency of paper money is a vulnerable point, in order to maintain the stability of the monetary system, we must now be prepared to deal with the imported financial crisis." ”

"I don't understand what you said, anyway, it's all according to what you say, it's going to be fine!" His Majesty Rudolph waved his hand and threw the pot to his son very simply.

Roland returned to No. 23 Financial Street after the cabinet meeting and convened a meeting of all senior staff of the central bank to arrange the detailed rules for risk prevention in the national financial system. From Deputy Governor Katya onwards, the central bank's audit team is fully prepared to conduct carpet inspections of the banking, securities and insurance industries in the entire jurisdiction of the "Far Eastern Royal Court". If the problem is serious, it will be directly ordered to suspend business, cancel the qualification of financial practitioners, and notify the public!

Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, and the Far Eastern Central Bank has recruited many elites in financial and accounting professionals over the years, not to let them drink tea, read newspapers, and make statements every day, and the young people in the industry are all excited when they hear Roland's combat orders.

Roland noticed the mood changes of this group of young people, and added two more fires, publicly stating that those who did excellent audit work would be given priority promotion and bonuses, and those who accepted bribes and colluded with financial institutions to conceal the truth of violations would be severely punished.

At the end of the meeting, Roland emphasized the secrecy and then announced that the meeting was adjourned, and the specific audit was handed over to Katya, in addition to the fact that there was another financial network that was different from the regular financial system that he needed to manage personally.

After the meeting, Roland returned to his office, closed the door, cast a spell to shield the entire room, sat at the desk with his eyes slightly closed, and called the system panel with his mind to open the "cloud network management interface".

Since the establishment of the magic anchor point in the "Silver Sky" and the successful upgrade of the original "Arcane Network" on Beacon Hill to the "Far East Cloud Network" covering the entire Varestianyu, Roland has obtained the highest management authority of the cloud network. Even during his visit to the holy city of Yashan, he would spare at least an hour every day to check the cloud network to ensure that the network was running smoothly and that various service orders were responded to in a timely manner.
