On the night the Golden Clown was created, Ivan continued to study all aspects of it until dawn.

As a creature given life by Evan, the Golden Joker's loyalty is unquestionable, and he almost carries out his orders as a mission, even if it is self-destructive. Its energy circuit also inherits its advantages, which can convert the light energy of nature into its own energy reserves, so that it has a nearly infinite lifespan.

The basic material that makes up the golden clown's body has also been affected by the power of light and darkness, and has been upgraded to form a strange metal material. It looks like gold on the outside, but in fact it is stronger than high-grade alloys, and it has strong ductility and corrosion resistance.

And as long as Ivan improves the quality of the energy injected, the Golden Joker will also produce corresponding strengthening, and this growth is determined by the basic power of the two holy texts. Ivan's two holy texts are at the level of level four, and the energy quality of the Golden Clown is theoretically also at level four, but due to the disadvantage of physical performance and soul power, its overall ability is only equivalent to that of a third-level mechanic.

In the future, if Ivan's power can be upgraded to the fifth level, and the latter will receive the power of light and darkness given by him, the nature of the energy will also increase, but it will not be able to truly reach the strength of the creator.

Overall, this cyborg being is quite perfect, and it can be said that it has some of the characteristics of the divine source metal. Although it is a mechanical body on the surface, the inner life system is self-contained, and it has self-awareness and learning ability, so it can be said that it is the existence of half a mechanic.

Ivan is very satisfied with such a subordinate, and intends to keep it by his side as the leader of mechanical life, helping to manage the future mechanical empire.

That's right, it's the Empire of the Machines!

With the economic benefits of the development of the Menes Empire, he can rely on the resources of Hyperion to create an army of machines that are completely loyal to him. With such a legion, Menes' military power would also be greatly enhanced, and the defense work could be completely handed over to the mechanical legion, which did not need military pay and pensions. At that time, human technology will flourish, and the number and intensity of mechanical life will become higher and higher, and eventually it will become a dualistic empire where human and mechanical life complement each other and coexist perfectly.

The number of mechanical legions is not too much, as long as there are two thousand 'golden clowns', it is enough to bulldoze the entire Hyperion Star.

"By the way, Golden Joker, since you have inherited and absorbed the dark power I have given you...... Can you feel this power? Ivan stretched out his left hand, his five fingers clasped upward, releasing a trace of undigested nightmarish aura.

"It is the fundamental power that gives me spirituality, the nature has changed, but the roots are exactly the same. To me, this force is like a torch in the night, even if it is far away, as soon as it appears, I can catch it immediately. The Golden Clown replied respectfully.

"That's good!"

Evan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but pat its bare head: "In the future, you will definitely be indispensable to completely pacify the demonic disaster!"

"Demonic plague, us?" the golden clown tilted his head in confusion.

"The so-called demonic plague is the war waged by many evil creatures against the Menes Empire, in short, it is my mortal enemy and your mortal enemy!" Ivan looked at it kindly, and explained patiently:

"In the face of such a large-scale enemy, of course, I need a lot of assistants like you to assist in the battle, so I will create a lot of mechanical life. They are brothers to you, and you, as the eldest son, rightfully have the right to command them. ”

"I see, and I will do everything in my power to destroy any existence that is against you. The golden clown nodded vigorously, his eyes glowing scarlet.

"I'm looking forward to your performance. Evan gave him an encouraging look as he thought about the raw materials.

The most difficult part for him to create a mechanical lifeform like the Golden Clown is the parts, after all, he has exhausted all the reserve materials tonight. If you want to manufacture it on a large scale, it is not practical to spend money on expensive finished products from the Federation, so if you think about it, you have to develop it from scratch by yourself. If this is the case, it will undoubtedly dissipate a lot of energy, and the government affairs of the Menes Empire will need to be handled by a shrewd and capable agent.

This assistant is naturally the most suitable for Ailu Luomei to do.

But there are also risks in doing so, don't look at the honesty she is now being cleaned up by herself, once she breaks free from the shackles, it is indispensable to stir up the wind and rain. Even if she has no dissenting intentions, once she regains the management of state affairs, such a political signal will undoubtedly cause shocks in the government and the opposition. When the time comes, it will definitely stabilize the imperial political arena, and the undercurrent will inevitably surge again, and the conservative forces may collude with each other to forcibly drag her into the water - and then the plank road will be darkly Chen Cang, and when the time comes, a large-scale rebellion will be raised.

Therefore, for the time being, she can't be allowed to manage the empire, and at most she can loosen the chain.

"Looks like it's time for me to build a clone for myself. Ivan rubbed his chin with one hand and said to himself.

One by one, one by one

The city of Ekhtadon, the palace of the king.

When the ministers gathered at the table again, they were shocked to find that on the left side of the Sun Throne, there was an extra golden throne of a slightly smaller model. After seeing this scene, the young nobles did not see the situation clearly, but the old courtiers who had experienced the era of King Ekhnatun became excited.

Because before Eru Lomei took over the power, the sun kings of all dynasties were two kings who ruled and ruled together, and the slightly smaller throne was prepared for the weaker side. Whoever sits on the seat of the weaker side means that it is useless for him or her to speak, and appearing in the palace of the king is just a passing scene.

After King Psammetik committed suicide, he was succeeded by the Sun King Eru Lome and the Sun King Evan, who was just a puppet used to carry the blame, so he was directly overshadowed and never even met his courtiers. After a while, even the second seat was removed, and from then on Eru Romei was completely self-serving.

What follows is also standard self-inflicted.

After the events known as the 'Starry Night Palace Change', Eru Lomme was ousted by King Evan by overwhelming force and has been under house arrest in the dormitory. removed the deputy seat by herself, and she was ousted from the stage again, so naturally no one would propose to restore the deputy seat for her.

But King Evan has now suddenly restored the second seat, does it mean that the husband and wife have reconciled and plan to restore the ancient rule of the two kings!?

It's quite possible!

After all, it is just a vice-seat, and the queen's return is a ceremony, and there is no chance of taking power at all, it can only be said to be a means for King Evan to show his generosity and benevolence.

So, in the expectant eyes of the ministers, the Sun King's guard of honor passed through the Hall of Mirrors, facing the ministers, and stood side by side in front of the crossway between the council seat and the Sun Ladder. After the guard of honor, two Majesties wearing scorpion-tailed badges and eagle-winged robes climbed the stairs one after the other, and sat on two sun thrones.

Although it is a bit disrespectful to say, at this moment, most of the eyes of the people at the table are on the deputy seat - silver-white hair, cold silver-gray eyes like ice and snow, and a face more beautiful than poetry, this is the former queen of Menes, the Sun King Eru Lomei.

"This is my queen, and everyone here must know her, so I won't introduce it. Evan's calm voice without a trace of waves made the ministers come back to their senses and focus their eyes on him:

"As is customary, my wife will be here as an observer to accompany me on government affairs. ”

His words calmed down the ministers, and it was really a revival of the tradition since ancient times, which was really excellent - even if a beauty like Eru Romei sat there without speaking, it had a pleasing effect on the eyes, and the originally tense and boring government affairs seemed to be relaxed because of her.

"Distribute the silver dollars. Ivan instructed the waiter beside him.

"Yes. The latter saluted the order, and then waved his hand to his subordinates who were guarding the door of the corridor.

Soon, rows of court attendants holding wooden boxes walked briskly into the palace of the king, and then opened the lid of the box, revealing exquisite coins with silver glitter, which were distributed in the order of their seats.

"This is a new coin minted by the Royal Bank, and a new Deben is exchanged for an old Deben of the same weight, and the ministers will see if it is appropriate? If it is appropriate, the Empire will only issue new coins in the future, replacing the old Deben. Ivan said to the table with a beautifully patterned new coin in his hand.

"Your Majesty!"

Kaba, the treasurer on the seat of the Buzhen Courtyard, stood up, held the new coin in his hand, and asked with a solemn face:

"This new coin doesn't seem to be pure silver, does it? at the price of silver, an old Deben can be exchanged for at least five of these coins...... Is there any suspicion that the Royal Bank is plundering the wealth of the people by doing this!?"

After these words were spoken, the entire palace of the King of Power became quiet for a moment, and even the slight sound of breathing stopped temporarily, and the entire space suddenly fell into a whirlpool of schadenfreude.

Since the victory of the Demon Hunting War, King Evan's authority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the thunderous methods of reform are even more chilling.

Now there is a stunned young man who stands up and fights against the God King, he is simply impatient, waiting to be removed from his post and dismissed! At this moment, everyone is waiting to see Kaba's good show, expecting King Yi to say the familiar sentence - come, drag him down!

However, a strange situation happened, and King Evan did not get angry, but pinched the silver coin and patiently explained:

"What do you think money is, and where does the value of silver come from? That's because people believe that money has that value, in other words, if people believe in it, even a piece of paper can be used as money." ”

"But I don't think there's any value in replacing the old Deben!" Kaba's nervous face turned blue, but he still argued.

"Most people just believe it. ”

Evan clenched the silver coin in his hand, squeezed it in his palm, and looked around calmly:

"By the time most of this year's new seeds have been distributed, they will be harvested every three months, and the overall yield can be said to have increased by a hundredfold. The production of grain and vegetables has increased by a hundredfold, but the annual production of gold and silver in the empire does not change, which is the standard money shortage. When there are fewer coins circulating in the market, people don't have enough coins in their hands, which will lead to a decrease in purchasing power, which will affect prices and fall. ”

"If there is more food, it should be allowed to fall...... Let it fall. Kaba's tone was no longer so confident at this time.

"You're right, but a normal drop in prices is to bring prices back to normal levels. However, the fall in prices caused by the shortage of money will cause panic among people, causing prices to enter a vicious circle of sharp decline, and stifling people's enthusiasm for production. Even if there is a famine, do you want to see such a thing happen in the Empire!?"

"No, I don't want to! Kaba completely softened - the character of a person like him is reasonable, anyone dares to stand up, and when he is unreasonable, he is a weak chicken.

Now that His Majesty the Sun King has made the truth clear, he naturally understands what the other party means:

An increase in grain production and an increase in the amount of money in circulation will not only not plunder the wealth of the people, but will also allow the people to fully reap the benefits of increased grain production -- why not do such things that benefit the country and benefit the people?

Your Majesty is indeed a far-sighted and virtuous king, I am really stupid and arrogant, and I should be punished!

"It's a good thing that you care about people's livelihood, and I won't blame you. Ivan motioned for him to sit down with his left hand, and then looked around again: "If there are any other ministers who have objections, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" shouted the ministers in uneven respects.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kaba only reacted at this time, and sat back in his seat gratefully, and the image of Evan in his heart was a little taller.

"In that case, the new money will be issued from tomorrow, and as for the samples for you to see......" Ivan smiled when he saw that they were all in love, but reluctant, and reluctant:

"Take it all, it's my reward for you, these coins are numbered, and they will definitely appreciate in value in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the ministers hurriedly thanked.

"One more thing, even if you issue new money, you can't let food prices continue to fall. Ivan handed the silver money in his hand to the waiter, and said in a deep voice: "Since the empire's vegetables, fruits, and grains are about to be too much for themselves to digest, it is better to open up trade and exchange precious metals and valuable materials from the barbarians, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty!

Percibson, the chief officer of the Expeditionary Academy, quickly stood up and said hurriedly:

"It's not a day or two that the barbarians covet the land wealth of the empire, and if trade is opened and enough food is given to them, it will undoubtedly make the barbarians grow stronger. If this continues, the barbarian army attacking the empire in the future will probably no longer be a small force, but a large army will overwhelm the territory! Now the empire's demonic calamity has not been settled, and if it encounters a barbarian attack, I don't know how much blood will be shed. From the minister's point of view, even if the grain is rotten in the warehouse, fed to the pigs and dogs, and burned by fire, it cannot be sold to the barbarians!"

"You can't sell it! I'd rather burn it than sell it!"

"Your Majesty, please consider carefully!"

"Lord Percibson is right, you can't feed the walking beasts. ”

Many officials echoed this, and they were rare in the face of the barbarians.
