930 Currency and Agriculture
"By the way, King Sally, if you have time, let them help me bring a few more periodicals, it's not interesting just for magic, I'd like to see something else. I'll pay for the points. ”
Morars pointed to the periodicals and newspapers on the wooden bookcase next to him, where the newspapers of the last two months of the Cullen Times were listed, obviously flipping through them frequently. Sally, who had begun to feel numb to the word "points", nodded in agreement, and left the 19th floor.
When the monarch of the Karen Kingdom walked in the magic tower, the dragons he met would greet him in a friendly manner, and when he saw one of the green dragons he was familiar with, Sally greeted, "Gloria, are you going to the entertainment area?"
"yes, are you going too?"
Gloria was a petite girl who looked like an underage girl, dressed in a dark green coat and holding a bag of "points coins" that were common in the tower.
Sally replied, "I want to see what you're all playing, you're going to go and play?"
"yes, today is our 'Force of Nature' team's game, I'm going to cheer them on!
Sally followed her into the half-plane of the "entertainment area", and found that there were many areas inside, and when the "sanatorium" first opened, there was no one here at all. But now it seems that all the dragons are staying here, and a group of dragons are warming up in the football field, because there are enchantments in the field to ensure that they don't use their magical abilities, and everyone is sitting outside in the seats to watch.
Gloria dragged her to the stands, and Sally followed the group of dragons to watch the entire game - although the dragons could not use magic, they were definitely the best in terms of physical fitness and technique, so the game was extremely high to watch. There were more than twenty dragons watching on the side, and everyone's cheers were higher and higher.
In the end, Gloria's team won by the Green Dragons, and she received 1.2 times the odds. Excited, she took Sally to play mahjong...
After Gloria won a few small games with good luck, Sally couldn't help but play a few games, but her calculation ability was obviously not as good as that of the dragons, and she lost several times in a row. When he was disheartened, he suddenly relied on his luck to find out and make a lot of money.
Gloria screamed excitedly, and Sally's nervous palms were sweating. She also experienced the excitement of these games at the moment, and her mind was full of the urge to "do it again"...
However, she finally controlled this thought, and after saying goodbye to Gloria, Sally came to the "points exchange office" with her scepter in her hand, and saw the scene of three or four dragons coming over with papers to apply for points exchange, and there was nothing to say in her heart...
"How the hell did this guy come up with so many new things. ”
I have the impression that Roddy is a commander who is good at planning and always looking for the best solution. But when you rise to the level of prime minister, it is absolutely not enough to just plan. The regulations and implementation details of each policy are definitely not something that is "born to know", and what Roddy implements is like a mature plan after countless evolutions. And right now, these addictive games for the dragon clan, Roddy is even more handy... He only provided a few ideas and venues, so that the existence of the dragon lord level could not be suppressed, and he exchanged his knowledge for "point coins" that had no value.
Perhaps only this kind of genius can make the Karen Kingdom truly powerful.
After walking out of the "entertainment area" and experiencing the excitement of gambling games, Sally glanced at the magic clock in the tower and suddenly realized that there was an important meeting to attend in ten minutes, so she hurried up to the core room on the 21st floor.
After entering the door, the high elf Edith was in front of the case, looking at a plan that had just been teleported. Sally knew that Roddy would not normally involve Edith in politics, but now it seemed like an accident, and she walked over, "What is this? What new idea did he come up with?"
Glancing at the "plan", Sally read it out loud: "What does the national credit system and currency mean?"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked me to read the plan and answer some questions. Mainly about the currency of the High Elf period. ”
Edith was clearly in a trance, and Sally wondered why she was like this, "What's wrong with you?
"No... I just can't believe why the Prime Minister knows so much. If the High Elves could have such an economic system, how could it be..."
She felt that she had too much to say, so she quickly stopped and smiled embarrassedly: "The plan is here, Your Majesty, take a look." I'll go prepare the circle first, right? ”
Sally glanced at the proposal curiously, and the concepts in it made her wonder: "Isn't it nice to use gold coins to issue currency? Why use this... Low-cost banknotes?"
Edith, who was adjusting the crystal wall, replied, "During the High Elf period, the currency used in the country was gold coins, which was the hardest 'hard currency'. Because gold is recognized as a rare metal, it is qualified to become a currency. Later, with the development of magic, the magic crystal also became a currency similar to gold coins, but it only circulated in the magic world, and had little to do with the common people. The Prime Minister's plan is to issue a banknote that is not worth much in itself, and the 'Government of the Kingdom of Karon' will define its value. ”
"Definition? Does that mean if I say this piece of paper is worth, it's worth it?"
Sally looked surprised: Isn't this nonsense?
But the more Edith thought about it, the more she felt that the "paper money" was very powerful, and she patiently explained: "So the value of the paper money comes from the credit of the country behind it, if it is just a gangster on the street, tell me that there is a piece of paper here, and the value is equal to a gold coin." I'm not going to believe it. But if the cabinet of the Karen Kingdom told me all this, I would choose to believe it. ”
"Just as the Prime Minister was able to borrow a huge loan from Rasiman for the war effort, he borrowed it with the credit of Ivota in the first place. Now that Evta has unified the kingdom of Karen, the kingdom's credit must be one level higher than it was at the beginning. With the rise of the kingdom's strength, I am afraid that this kind of paper money will not only circulate in the country in the future, even if it goes to Rasiman, it is estimated that it can also become a 'hard currency'!"
Sally, who opened her mouth slightly, blinked: "Is it unimaginable that people in other countries will also recognize the value of a piece of paper?" ”
Edith had thought about it for a long time, so she had an idea of Roddy's general intentions: "This note can be seen as a commodity, similar to the jewelry, bread, or art you collect. It's just that it can be used as a widely circulated trading item. ”
Sally stood there and thought for a long time: "Isn't that just a more convenient currency than gold coins?" but I think it will take a lot of effort to do it, and what kind of 'Cullen Central Bank'... He told me about the bank before, but what is the concept of a 'central bank'..."
It is true that economic problems cannot be explained in a few words. Not to mention Sally, Edith, who has a super IQ, also can't see through the broader sky behind the "paper money", and doesn't understand what the "central bank" will bring.
But the communication circle made Sally understand that she needed to go to the meeting, she sorted out her makeup, and sat in front of the crystal wall, in the picture, the "cabinet office" located in the dragon tower was already full of cabinet nobles, and Luo Di sat in the middle, looking at the crystal wall: "The signal is okay, then Your Majesty, now let's start today's discussion." ”
He was dressed in a simple black dress, and on the long table in front of him were stacks of manuscripts full of handwriting: "The kingdom's statistics have been basically completed recently, and we are currently facing many serious problems... Because the two wars have caused a lot of human losses, it is good if there are no natural disasters this year, but if there are any disasters, famine will be the first problem we will face. ”
Sally didn't talk much in the meeting, except for the occasional question, and then didn't say much after receiving Roddy's answer.
Cabinet meetings are held almost every day, and the issues discussed are very complicated - because the kingdom is still in a state of extreme shortage of "civil servants", and since power is centralized, how to grasp the huge kingdom in the hands of the cabinet is a very huge problem.
After the lords of each territory expressed their submission to the rule of Sally I, the future days will not be as simple as still eating and drinking in their own territory.
At this time, Roddy was talking about the specific implementation plan of the "agricultural reform", because Elson's early research and experimentation have now cultivated crops that are more than three times more productive. In the future, these seeds will be extended to the whole country to be planted, and the "ridge tillage system" will also replace the backward "three-nursery system", and the use of manure will also be gradually promoted, and the solution of the food problem in the next three years can at least be expected.
There was no opposition within the Cabinet, and in fact, all the decisions of the current "Cabinet" were basically put forward by Roddy, and finally implemented after a simple revision - not because the other nobles did not dare to oppose it, but because at their level of knowledge, there was no reason to oppose it at all.
You can get more food from farming, so why not do it?
Roads can make the country more wealthy, so why not build them?
Not to mention planes, ships, and armies. These three are now firmly in the hands of Roddy, while the armies of the other nobles have been completely eliminated and ordered to be disbanded. Sodrore is currently stationed in the Imperial City, with a group of Temples, a group of Hollier City, and a group of Elson City, and these four core cities occupy the four regions of the Karen Kingdom, collectively known as the Four War Zones.
The "barrel of the gun" is in the hands of Roddy, and the nobles naturally will not do anything else.
