Outside Blackwater, as usual, the truck from Valentine unloaded a group of personnel who had come to recruit with tasks.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Ted's talent statistics plan, the staff recruited talents according to the reserved jobs in the form, and also recorded the job search intentions and ideal treatment levels of the city's residents.

There will be some trouble with the intention of applying for a job, but the ideal level of treatment... There is no trouble at all, because the conditions given by Ted are a little higher than the ideal conditions that the citizens came up with~

And this level is not Ted's final say, but based on the price of goods in the north!

These days, most people have found suitable jobs, but there are still some people who have not found jobs for various reasons, and the people Ted is sending now are just picking up the gaps.

There are about 220,000 vampires in Blackwater City, and their jobs have long been decided, either to serve in politics or join the army, and they almost all obey the arrangements of the patriarch.

For the rest, all of them are human beings who don't have jobs, and Baron Tomato can't tell them that he never believed in God, and he can't take the initiative to arrange jobs for them...

But as the saying goes, if you have someone more powerful than yourself on your head, why not give it a try and let him carry the pot? Ted is a good fit to be the boss of this wrong, and he's willing to do it!

So the Tomato Baron did not stop it, after all, the value created by the wave of cultivation not long ago was a little more than the total tax revenue added up in the previous two years!

Why don't you leave it all to Ted!

Money is more important than face and dignity! If the land and the people were lost to Baron Tomato, they might not be able to develop this kind of appearance in a few years, and as soon as Ted came, the money and property in his pocket all increased several times, not only that, but the ancestors also woke up! It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the grace of recreation.

So... They didn't care about Ted's 'nosy' behavior, they just turned a blind eye.

On top of that, Baron Tomato can control most vampires, but there will always be a few that slip through the net, such as newcomers Bruce and Martin.

Coupled with what happened not long ago, the rest of the human realms are also skeptical of this 'God'!

As for why they were suspicious, it wasn't because they really doubted, but because the 'trained spies' sent by Ted began to build momentum in various places, instilling this idea of 'God is dead' in the ears of the humans of Blackwater City from morning to night.

With such gossip, it doesn't take long to destroy an immortal, and it can break this trust in just one week!

Add to that God's inaction since the war, and people really think that he is dead or corrupted!

At the same time, because Ted brought the sun god and a large number of cheap meatloaf to do business and do marketing, he gave out free turkey burgers to everyone in the name of the sun god, and then found someone who could speak well to give a speech on the stage to brainwash everyone...

Later, everything that happened on this plain was also seen by everyone, such as mechanical planting, and plants blooming and bearing fruit overnight, all of which were 'miracles' in the eyes of ordinary people, all of which were disguised as the work of the sun god.

Because of this, most people really believe these fabricated words, and the immortal who does not exist at all.

...

Under the city, the recruitment office.

Because the city's crisis was lifted, the rationing program was canceled, and Bruce and Martin had no food to eat, so they had to find work to support themselves.

As for Father Martin... Because the church of the Imperial Church was closed, there was no need for the vampires who were disguised as priests to continue to pretend, and they packed their bags to strengthen the vampire family~

So... Martin had nowhere to go, and he had said that if there was an afterlife, he would definitely not believe in God!

So, when he came back to life, he planned to just be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.

Because they were quietly transformed into vampires, the two didn't know exactly what happened, only that the 'spaghetti sauce' that the 'Sun God Cult' distributed for free at the entrance of the city was very attractive to them.

In addition, you can taste it for free, and if you listen to the clergy's lecture from beginning to end, you can even bring back two cans of pasta sauce!

Ever since they had their first fight, they had become interested in this new god, and just like the people around them, they were attracted by this god's powerful 'coin scattering' ability!

Because of these foods, if you have to spend money to buy them... The two of them can't afford it at all, and now they are giving it away for nothing? This power alone throws off two main streets of God.

Before that, God would always send people to collect money all over the empire endlessly, and the sun god not only didn't want a copper coin, but also gave you something to eat for nothing?

And just like that, the pattern was opened! Besides, people nowadays are not so smart that they don't know that 'the free one is the most expensive...'

As long as they are led by Ted, the value of this life will almost be taken away by Ted.

But even if they are led, everyone does not have the slightest willingness to resist, after all, no one will live with a good life...

If you are not led, you can only continue to wander.

There aren't many options in front of you, and smart people know what to do!

Freedom has a price, it is never a right, it is a commodity! Sacrificing some of your freedom in exchange for stability and prosperity is a good deal!

The same is true for the residents of the city, who are looking for work anyway, and it's the same everywhere!

So Martin and Bruce went together, along with other citizens or refugees, to the newly built 'job market'.

"Hello, my name is Martin, this is my child Bruce, I am 50 years old, this child is 18 years old... I can read and write... Is there any work on documentation? I'm going to go with my son..."

During this time, Martin recognized Bruce, his godson, and they have been together since they came to Blackwater, whether it is carrying or eating, they behave like father and son, especially after regaining their lives, the two have become real father and son, so that they can better conceal their identities and start over!

It's just that the luck of the two is not good, and the recorder of the clerk has just left: "About the work of recording... When the brother who recruited people just now saw that there was no one in the city, he went to the refugee camp, if you are in a hurry, you can go there to have a look, if you are not in a hurry, you can come back tomorrow..."

"Thank you, sir..."

"Wait! It should be easy for a well-mannered and cultured gentleman like you to find a decent job, but I still have to say that the sun god never treats his followers badly, and he is strong and full of martial virtues! ”

Speaking of which, the staff did not forget the order issued by Ted and stepped on God: "God can only give a piece of bread to 1,000 people to eat!" But the sun god only needs a piece of land to satisfy all the hunger in the world! Now, the Helios Cult needs a literate and literate person like you to be its godfather, and if you have abandoned God, you might as well try to communicate with this god..."

"Okay... Thanks for the reminder, I'll go check it out..."

Now that the recorder is gone, he has to go to the recruiting office in the refugee camp over there.

Fortunately, the treatment is the same, and the Earl of Highington will not reduce his salary or treatment because he is recruiting in a refugee camp, which is still worthy of Martin's praise!

If this had happened a few years ago, Father Martin would have consecrated him with a cross! Give him another stack of 'indulgences'!

...

For all people, the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will make them yearn for better jobs and better lives.

If the sun god can really provide a better life, I believe he is not impossible~

Anyway, Martin just said 'I don't believe in God', and he didn't say that he didn't believe in other gods.

Right now, the two of them are forced to make a living, and Martin, as a father, must fulfill his father's responsibilities, so he plans to go to the Sun God Cult to have a look, if this god is real, it is not impossible to stay...

Even if he's fake, he can come back and find another job.

Moreover... In the current city of Blackwater, the land that originally belonged to the Pope, as well as the religious territory, was all reclaimed by Baron Tomato, and in addition, he demolished all these buildings and rented them to Ted.

The day after the agreement was signed, it became a market or a warehouse...

Because according to the current strategic considerations, the transformation of these plots into shops and warehouses can maximize the profits, and it is also possible to sell the small commodities produced in Valentine because of industrialization to everyone to make extra money~

As for the original plan, using Prince Steve's Chamber of Commerce to do business... I've got to change it, too... Because all the people in the empire are dead!

However, it is not a bad thing to move the Chamber of Commerce and let this group of people who understand business help with business, and besides, you can also let them sell goods to other wealthy nobles!

This is not in conflict and can even be done together~

According to the estimation of the data model, after such a toss, the population of the empire has plummeted, from the original hundreds of millions, to only about 70 million people...

In addition to the population, wealth has also been taken away by the top part.

If Ted were going to eat this group of refugees, food and water would be fine, but the money for his salary would not be enough...

In order to maintain order, food cannot be substituted for wages.

So we can only use the power of religion, let them use love to generate electricity for a while, and use the face of the sun god to make white stripes first... Settle the money problem before they become dissatisfied!

At the moment, there are two ways to get money.

Either go out and grab it, or print it yourself!

As for the plan to 'grab'... For the time being, all I can think of is to go to the Imperial Royal Warehouse and grab it...

If you don't grab it, you can only develop your own currency.

At present, there are plenty of materials to make money, but it's just that the technology...

But what kind of person is Ted, it's just a little technology, not enough to worry about!

The 200 Star System sells premium currency printers that can solve everything!

And this machine, in order to reduce the possibility of being imitated, the material used to make money is not cotton or paper, but plastic...

Plastic coins are not only lightweight and convenient, but also very durable and waterproof...

In other words, no creature in this world, except for Ted, has the ability to copy coins unique to the North...

But for Ted, the way to make money is much simpler.

Just set the face value, draw the pattern on the back, and then draw your own head on the front and you're done!

Enter these into the currency printer, add the materials, turn on the power, and wait for the banknotes to be printed.

As for the name of the currency ...

Just call him 'Na Le~'

In the early stage of currency issuance, let it be equated with gold, let civilians exchange the gold and silver in their hands for coins, and after a period of time, everyone is familiar with the coin, and then link it to oil~

Unlike what happened on Earth, on the Blue Star and Nok Continent, after being bound to oil, the value of Nak Le can rise a little more!

After all, everyone can mine gold, and silver is not a rare thing!

But oil is different! This thing is not something that everyone can handle~

So in this period, oil is more expensive than gold! And this price can be controlled by yourself! If he says that the price of one barrel of oil is equal to ten kilograms of gold, then he is equal to ten kilograms of gold!

When the time comes, Ted can use this to tie the concept of 'chatter' to the future and advancement.

"The needle doesn't poke!"

...

At this time, Ted was sitting in his office, and a plan had been drawn up!

"It's better to take this opportunity to have your own banknotes and your own financial system! In this way, it can also prevent outsiders from messing with gold coins! ”

Such an idea is also appropriate~

After all, within the empire, because wealth is harvested, the population has plummeted! On average, the wealth held by each person has increased many times compared to before!

If a large amount of gold and silver coins flow into your territory, it will inevitably cause inflation!

At the same time, it would make the financial system vulnerable and controlled by deep-pocketed capitalists.

Ted doesn't want to see such a scene...

In order to prevent these things from happening, it is better to take precautions... Just take the opportunity to make your own currency?

Before Ted's mind could decide, he had already purchased such a set of equipment from the system~

At the same time, in the markets of Valentine and Blackwater, the light weight and high strength of plastic have been strongly sought after by the citizens once they are promoted!

When used in freight, these plastics effectively solve the problem of transportation costs!

After all, before this, everyone used clay pots or iron cans to transport goods, and the weight of containers alone accounted for half of the goods in a truckload of goods! Such a business... Profit margins have been compressed a lot, and plastic solves this problem perfectly!

If you take advantage of the trend to launch a plastic version of the beautiful currency, under the banner of reducing weight, first treat it as a gold exchange voucher, with Ted's own ability and reputation as a guarantee, at least in the north of the country is not a problem!

As for the domain of the Tomato Baron... I have my own 'childcare'! Take the time to promote it, and it's not a problem!

In addition, Ted will also discuss with him, on the issue of the currency avatar, print the avatar of Baron Tomato, and add his own eloquent mouth, fooling him into believing in himself, it will not be a problem~

In the early days, there were only 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 banknotes.

In order to concretize the value of money, Ted directly opened the record book and referred to the price of goods in the United States in 1955, at that time, money was still relatively valuable, everyone's wages were also a lot, and the happiness index was okay~

It is better to move prices closer to that period.

In 1955, a McDonald's double-layer burger cost 15 cents, plus a fries and milkshake, and it was only 25 cents...

Just about! The 'Makarov' fast food restaurant that Ted made a while ago, the most expensive double-layer beef burger in it is only 15 copper coins, and the amount is very filling!

There is at least some basis for determining the value of commodities with this 'Big Mac Index', and it is not the kind of arbitrary pricing that is taken for granted~

"That's it! Let those who understand finance worry about it..."

...

Just as Ted was about to pick up the folder in front of him to read the file, Lilia and Chris returned to the office together to report on the protocol.

Chris originally thought that Lilia was just a vase and couldn't do anything, but after some communication, it seems that Lilia is very smart, smart beyond his imagination!

After thinking about it, after all, she is a dragon, and according to the information provided by Ted, the power of the brains of this group of big guys can reach up to 20kw, and this is not the limit...

Compared to the measly 20 watts of power of human brains, the dragons just don't want to bother with their brains...

Because if you turn at full power for three minutes, the day's food will be in vain.

...

Now, the protocol calibration with the tree people is complete and the contract is complete.

Chris also carved out a large piece of land for them on a plain outside the city, and the ancient giant tree also had a specific location~

In order to show the difference of the North, it has been placed in the most prominent position.

It won't be long before it becomes a tourist attraction in no time~

Because the breath emanating from this tree, as well as the energy full of life, seems to nourish all intelligent beings!

As long as Lilia regularly puts boogers in it to keep this warm nourishment, it won't be a problem!

"Ahem... My lord, the agreement is signed, and I think... Lilia is really good enough to be your secretary... And also... Please take a look at the proposal on the table, I think it is necessary to put it on the agenda immediately, so I used a red clip..."

Since it's an urgent matter, it is necessary for Ted to check it in front of Chris! It's just that before that, I have to find something to do for Lilia~

"Lilia, you follow the manual and help me check the gray folder, it should be easy from this step..."

"Hmmm! I'll go! ”

After instructing Lilia, Ted opened the red folder and retrieved the only document...

"On the production and R&D of money ... Suggested Priority: 0! ”

After just a cursory look at the document, Ted took out the currency sample provided by the system: "Chris, how about you take a look at this first?" ”

"This...!" Chris thought Ted was joking, how did the proposal he just handed over was made?

Seeing that Chris was shocked, Ted pretended to take out a whole set of templates from the cabinet and put them on the table...

The content of the proposal is similar to what Ted just thought.

It's not that the heroes see the same thing, it can only be said that everyone is not stupid, they are all aware of the difficulties in front of them, and they have also come up with what to deal with.

It's just that there is a god in the think tank, and his proposal is exactly the same as the two choices he came up with.

But the advice he gave was to do both, not to choose~

And this piece of advice is written below.

Ted saw this offer and thought it could be done at the same time...

Currency reform is its own business, and robbing the royal family's gold is an additional revenue! There is no delay in each other, and... Ted is just snatching back what originally belonged to the people!

Although it can't be paid for free, it can only be used as a salary...

But it doesn't matter!

Ted put down the cup in his hand, picked up the pen and drew a circle of the suggestion: "Ahem... This last piece of advice we... It is indeed possible to consider, but definitely not now..."

Of course, Chris knows how to deal with the 'robbery', which is that you have to take advantage of the chaos!

Wait for the royal family to start grabbing the heir, quietly snatching money from several warehouses, and then blaming each other is the best way! And not now, brainless robbery like such a reckless man! "Yes, my lord... I'll talk about this when the time comes..."

Ted nodded in acquiescence, pointed to the stool in front of him by the way, and asked, "Later!" Now, Chris! You can help me with the specific denomination image of the currency! ”

"No problem, sir!"

Chris has learned a lot of new things recently, and he has gradually come to understand that there are no ancient ruins in this world!

It is very likely that it is similar to the 'wormhole teleportation' technology, which drops items from one end through a 'subspace orbit'!

As for where is the other end? Existing knowledge is not enough!

As for why Ted has access to such today's technology...? It doesn't matter! We're all in the same boat, so that's not a concern.

In addition to Ted, there is another thing that can be reassured, that is, this 'other end' is not threatening or hostile to one's side.

At least not for the time being...

"Uh... My lord! But may I venture to ask, did you also get these advanced equipment from the 'ancient ruins'? ”

"Sort of..."Ted spread his hands and replied casually...

As for where exactly things come from, it doesn't matter anymore! Self-development is the last word~

Chris smiled and took the template and said the same thing as Ted: "I said... My lord, do you want to print the scenery in the back and the head of the person in the front? ”

Ted looked surprised, he touched his chin and nodded, "That's true, how do you know?" ”

"That's what I guessed, because if you want to use this artificially prescribed new currency to impact the original precious metal monetary system, you must have a strong person or organization to take the lead..."

In this regard, it seems that Chris Tyde himself understands, so he makes a gesture of please and asks Chris to continue: "Oh? So do you have an idea? ”

Chris didn't deny it, he spread out the notebook, took the pen and prepared to write down his thoughts: "I already have some ideas, for example, I think that the Ice Dragon Clan Patriarch Francis can be arranged on the 100 'Na Le' coin, because the actions we have done recently have been carried out under their banner!" ”

"At the same time, in order for the refugees and the congregation to choose to believe in this currency, I think we can also add some images of the sun as elements of the Helios Cult..."

Ted had already thought of this, and he pointed to the anti-counterfeiting mark on the coin: "That's natural, you can rest assured that we will put the sun in the 'transparent identification place' of the currency, and every one of them has it!" You can see through the light! In this way, the problem is all solved! ”

This is a very good solution, which preserves his majesty and his importance: "In that case, then... Do you have any thoughts on other denominations? ”

"There is no objection to the 100 face value given to the Ice Dragons, and the next is 50... I'm going to print myself on the 50 denomination ... What do you think? ”

Chris raised his hands in favor of this proposal: "I agree!" Because after all, you brought up this matter, and you, as the spokesperson of the Nock Alliance under the dragon, put it on the 50 face value, which is very appropriate... That... Next, 20 denominations..."

The dragons' faces are enough, and they have found a lot of presence, followed by other important people: "I plan to open the 20 face value to all the race leaders of the Nok Alliance..."

Chris nodded, and recorded this one: "This is easy to do, the Fire Tribe zooms in on the picture of Chief Phoenix, and uses their altar on the back..."

"The Moon Elves can use Wachena's picture, and the background is the starry sky..."

Hearing the Aquaman again, Ted opened his mouth to confirm again: "Wait... Vazhena? She's the Moon Elf's patriarch again? ”

"Uh... Yes, because she is very good at business ability and work ability, they elected her..."

Ted smiled awkwardly and continued the conversation: "Okay... On the human side, use your avatar..."

"Mine?" Flattered, Chris pointed to his face and excitedly said, "Is it really possible?" ”

In order not to make Chris think it was his gift, Ted quickly emphasized Chris's current status: "It's not a question of if, it's a matter of necessity, by definition, you represent the human camp, so you have to be, as for the scene on the back of the coin... It's up to you! ”

It's a great honor to be on a coin! Now that there is no one else on the Imperial Gold Coin except the Emperor, Chris has this opportunity to be excited: "No problem! I've definitely come up with a good layout! ”

In addition to the excitement, the work still has to continue: "Ahem... Then it's time for the 10 Chatters, my lord, do you have the right idea? ”

In order to make the citizens feel that they are also the future of the country, Ted plans to give the cover of ten dollars to the scientists: "I plan to give the ten dollars to those who have made indelible contributions to the development of the city..."

Referring to this, Chris gave a few examples: "For example, John in charge of weapons defense, Thomas in charge of transportation..."

Ted hesitated, he raised his hand and shook his head: "This... There are too many, and the initial layout can only give a maximum of three places, but you can continue to add it in the later stage! In short, the ten-dollar layout is given to the people, so that everyone can vote and participate! ”

"No problem! Then that's five dollars..."

There was really no one to choose, and Ted remembered the prince who had a very low sense of existence: "Give it to Steve, because for a long time, five dollars will be the most used currency for everyone, and it will also be the main large currency in circulation..."

"Okay, my lord, I wrote it down, what about the two pieces?"

"Two... Think about it..."

"Or? Two pieces for the Tomato Baron? ”

"No, he's a vampire, it's an allied race, and he has to make it into 20 pieces..."

"What about the 2 pieces? A dollar is also a problem, and those coins..."

"A coin is easy to do! I'm not going to print anyone's head, mark it with the words Nock League, and go to Leonardo da Vinci to talk to Francis on the back..."

"No problem, sir! There are 25 cents, 10 cents and 5 cents of denomination coins left... Question again! Ay... Or leave these to the think tanks for everyone to think about? Brainstorming? ”

"That's it!"

If everything is undecided, go and let the think tanks brainless!

Anyway, my sense of existence has been solved!

The face value of 50 pieces is more common than 100 pieces later~

Just after processing the typesetting of some of the currencies, a telegram arrived...

"My lord, the refugee camp has already departed, and it is expected to arrive at the newly built farm in two hours..."

"That's good~ you guys are busy first, I'll take someone to fool them!"

"I wish you a smooth journey~"
