Chapter 587: Information Exchange and Arrangement
The materials that Gawain had copied with his powerful memory would be invaluable to every Cecil researcher - even the simple-minded Rebecca would be unmistakably aware of it.
"The elves' rune technology has been inherited since ancient times, and they have unearthed the arrangement and combination of these runes from the legacy left by the primordial elves, as well as a lot of knowledge about the mechanical, biological, mechanical, and arcane fields, but they lack the derivation process of all these technologies, and they cannot restore the special environment in which the primordial elves conducted technical research, which has caused their technological development to fall into a bottleneck in recent years," as Kamel and the others looked intently at those technical materials, Gawain slowly talked about the problems encountered in the Silver Empire beside him, "Elves, like us humans, also rely on the psychic perception of the transcendents themselves to study magic, and this research method will be extremely efficient in the early stage, because no tool is more comfortable to use than the innate talent of human beings, but in the later stage, it ......"
"You have to get out of your comfort zone," Kamal raised his head from those mysterious and complex runes, and the two arcane lights at the position of his skull looked at Gawain, "Their rune arrangement is very complicated, and it is indeed not easy for a magic array to maintain normal operation in such a complex situation, they have already reached the extreme in the realm of experience, and these rune arrays are probably summed up by them with thousands of years of exploration...... It's a shame that their superior magical talent has become a kind of limitation, and this talent has caused them to fail to realize in time that mathematical tools are something more potential than talent. β
What Kamel said made a point, but Gawain knew that the elves had actually begun to introduce mathematical tools into the field of magical research over the years, and that the astrologist Vilania had relied on calculating some of the values of the fluctuations of magical power, but it was clear that the elves' outstanding magical talents still limited their thinking in this area.
But that's not what we're talking about at this point.
"Jenny, you organize the force to translate these runes and find an optimization solution," Gawain looked at several experts in the field of rune logic on the scene, "Kamel, Rebecca, the two of you work together to develop a test plan, and strive to simulate the operating environment of these runes in the Origin Laboratory as soon as possible." β
Three voices sounded at the same time: "Yes." β
Gawain then turned to Hetty: "How's the territory going?" β
Hetty stood up: "Everything is going well, and I'm keeping an eye on the old nobles in case anyone has any thoughts they shouldn't have while you're away from the realm. The departments of agriculture, industry, and military industry are operating as usual, and in terms of grain, the total amount of warehousing in the whole territory has reached the planned line for this year, and relief has been arranged in advance for the possibility of a shortage of grain in some new towns in the western region in winter...... The first test train line has been laid, and it will be tested in real trains in the near future......"
"Is there anything new from the North?"
"The truce between the royal family and the East continues, but both sides are clearly ready for war at any time - the Duchess Victoria has personally led the Mountain Legion into the Whitsunday Plains, and the East has also increased its troops in the confrontation area. However, now that the weather is getting colder, the build-up of troops on both sides should stop before winter. β
Gawain had been away from Cecil for almost a month, and the situation in the principality and the situation within Ansu had not deviated from his expectations, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
After confirming the situation in the country, Gawain turned his attention to Daniel and Mary.
He looked at the old mage, "How's Typhon doing?" β
"Everything is as you planned," said Daniel respectfully, "I have told the investors how to run the factory, to enclose the land, and to control the costs, and no one can resist the great profits, and in the big cities of Aldernan and the North, investing in factories and setting up industries has become a craze for the small and medium-sized nobles and wealthy merchants, and even the citizens have borrowed heavily to invest in those new factories and companiesβEmperor Rosetta, before leaving Aldernan, ordered Parliament to complete the paper money reform as soon as possible, to cope with the increasing flow of money, which is now in the hands of Duke Regent Ferdinand Wendell, should begin soon. β
Gawain nodded: "Pay close attention to all the problems that occur in the process of paper money reform, and you can directly hand over the relevant information to Hetty." β
"Yes, my lord."
Gawain exhaled softly.
Folding money...... As long as the economy develops and the scale of commercial activities grows from small to large, then the conversion of precious metal money into paper money is an unavoidable topic. Heavy gold and silver coins are inconvenient to carry, inconvenient to count during large transactions, circulation, management, and storage have natural defects, and paper money is undoubtedly the best alternative to precious metal currency after the economic development has reached a certain level, so with the development of the Duchy of Cecil, domestic commercial activities are becoming more and more frequent, and the issuance of a paper money is naturally put on the work agenda of the government department.
But it's not so easy to exchange gold and silver coins that people have used for hundreds of years for a piece of "paper" with numbers written on them.
People's usage habits are the first problem, people are not necessarily used to using "paper" to buy things, the second is people's trust in "paper money", people who are accustomed to metal money will naturally worry about whether those "paper" with numbers written on it can really be as valuable as gold and silver, in addition, the consuls and clerks of the government department must also take into account the order of market transactions in the process of currency exchange, the flow and stability of merchants, and the unexpected loss and order turmoil caused by the people's unfamiliarity with paper money. and currency conversion in relation to the foreign trade of the Principality......
The first two problems can be slowly solved by relying on the publicity and prestige of the government affairs department, and the follow-up problems must be dealt with carefully and carefully one by one.
Gawain is not omniscient, and in this field, he is actually very weak, he only knows the advantages of paper money over metal money, but he is not sure what problems will be encountered once the new money is promoted.
Fortunately, Cecil was able to cross the river by touching Typhon.
Under the premise of Daniel's deliberate promotion and Typhon's own social accumulation, the developed city of Typhon led by Aldenan is entering the age of industry and capital at an astonishing speed, and the small and medium-sized nobles who have lost a lot of benefits due to the New Deal of the Empire see the hope of returning to glory and are almost frantically devoting themselves to commerce, which will undoubtedly prompt Rosetta Augustus to reform the monetary system.
In fact, long before this vigorous "magic industrial revolution", Typhon's economy had developed to a considerable extent, and the prosperous commerce and increasingly abundant material output made the money in the hands of Typhon people always need to flow. A few years earlier, Rosetta Augustus had organized his advisors to study the issue and come to the conclusion that a more advanced currency was needed, and now Daniel's activities were only a step forward in Typhon's reforms.
They will step into this quagmire in stride, and they will fall a lot in this quagmire, and they will eventually learn the right experience in the process of falling and reap great benefits - and Cecil, on the other hand, will know every pit they have stepped on in time and avoid it in advance.
Of course, this doesn't mean sit back and relax, and Hetty and her government team will certainly run into problems that are unique to Cecil when implementing the new currency, but in any case, it would be good to learn some lessons from Typhon's experimental field - after all, Cecil has a thin foundation and can't afford to fall too far.
After ordering the observation mission, Gawain asked Daniel, "How has Typhon's military movements been in recent times?" β
"Not much has changed, Rosetta Augustus is currently out of Aldenan, and Typhon's armies are on standby in their respective quarters, presumably unless something goes wrong, these armies will not dare to make the slightest change during the time when the emperor leaves the imperial capital."
"Very well," Gawain nodded, "presumably neither of them will move until the construction of the Great Wall is over and Rosetta Augustus returns to Aldenan...... During this time, you just continue to carry out your tasks, and do not act out of the ordinary to avoid arousing suspicion. β
"Yes, my lord."
The exchange of information is over.
Gawain adjusted his seat to a relatively comfortable position, he glanced around the people involved in the online meeting, including Mary, who was entering the Origin Space for the first time, and after organizing the language a little, he said unhurriedly, "One last thing - I found something in the Great Wall. β
He spoke of his discoveries in the Sentinel Tower, of the vines he had seen in the Shadow Realm, and of his suspicions of the Eventual Death of All Things.
ββ¦β¦ If the situation is really as I expected, then the infiltration of the Death Society and what they are planning is probably beyond our imagination," after telling his discovery, Gawain continued with a serious expression, "Kamel, come up with a magic network terminal plan that can connect to the Sentinel Tower as soon as possible, the elves have agreed to open their communication key and communication technology, and now we need to contact the Elven Court of the Silver Empire as soon as possible, and let them organize forces to investigate all the Sentinel Towers." Hetty, in my name, would you send another warning to the city of Saint-Sunil...... Hopefully, they'll be able to uncover at least some of the doomed believers hiding within the kingdom. β
Then he paused slightly, and added, "Also, send the same warning to the East. β
Hetillo had some questions: "East? You mean Edmund? β
Her suspicion was justified - because according to Cecil's information, the Prince Edmund Morn was probably in contact with the Society for the Death of All Things behind his back, and it was really unnecessary to send him this warning message about the end of all things.
Gawain, however, nodded, "It's Edmund, send it to himβat least formally, this letter is a must." And I'm curious to see how deeply Edmund Moen is connected to the Society of the End of All Things, if not that deep...... Then this warning letter may also have some unexpected effect. β
Hetty nodded: "I see." β
Gawain then looked at Daniel: "Daniel, as far as I know, the three dark sects have always been in contact with each other, how much do you know about the infiltration of the Great Wall of the End of All Things?" β
"I'm sorry, my lord, I know very little about this," Daniel bowed his head apologetically, "For many years, my energy has been focused on the study of the secret art of eternal sleep, and I have not paid attention to the actions of the Society of the End of Everything. However, I've heard of one thing, and it's said that the upper echelons of the end of everything are in possession of a technology called the 'Dark Bridge', which seems to be related to the Great Wall. β
Gao Wen frowned slightly, and repeated the word softly: "Dark Bridge? β
"The Dark Bridge exists," Pittman, who had never spoken, took the initiative at the moment, "and it's a means of communication - but I don't know the specifics." β
It's not a secret that Pitman knows a lot about the Eventual Death Society, and although Gawain hasn't said anything about the old druid's service to the dark cult, he doesn't mind telling some of the cult's secrets he has in this hidden space.
"Does it have a communication effect......
Listening to the information that Pitman had to say, Gawain whispered to himself and thought quietly.
