Chapter 1290: Changes in the Southwest Peninsula
,!
With the Great Sage's Tower, the Frank Kingdom set off a wave of regional consolidation of political power in the southwestern peninsula of the Lost Land.
And unlike the feudal aristocratic states that are generally formed with military strength as the core, the queen of the Frank Kingdom, Yulia III, still has the status of the Templar Captain of the Mystic Lord and has not given up. Her husband, Prince Guy, is the master of the Tower of the Great Sage, and holds the title of Grand Magi.
In other words, the core of the Frank kingdom is a deformed existence that combines the three major powers of the land, such as theocracy, magicians, and traditional aristocratic classes. It's a country like never before.
The only thing that hindered the kingdom's expansion was the terrible traffic roads in the southwestern peninsula. Yulia III did not expand without brains, but steadily digested the annexed area step by step, at least the transportation construction must keep up with it, and then take the next step.
In this case, of course, some people are happy and some are worried.
For the little lords who are not strong enough and urgently need the protection of the strong, they are eager to swear allegiance to Queen Yulia immediately. Then the Tower of the Great Sage will bring his realm under protection. As long as the monster above a certain level steps into the territory range, the precise strike from the magic tower will stifle the threat outside the town.
A magic tower replaces the traditional garrison to guard the human gathering place and protect the fire of civilization. This is the biggest attraction of the Frankish Kingdom. And for the kingdom, there is no additional cost to the attack of the magic tower; All energy expenditures are covered by the tower's energy pool. It can be said that within the range of the Great Sage's Tower, they will all surrender.
But for those lords with ambitions and intentions, the Tower of the Great Sage is a lingering nightmare. In the past, the gate of the abyss was opened and the Abyss Lord invaded, and then there were 10,000 people mixed into a magic army, and this kind of strength that was enough to sweep the southwest peninsula was all broken in front of the tower of the great sage.
Even the tower masters who also guarded the magic tower bowed their heads, who still had the courage to stand up to the tower of the great sage.
Anyway, it is also a human force, and the Frank Kingdom is dominated by Huairou, supplemented by coercion, and has not been wiped out so far. In the name of preserving the flame of civilization, it is not a difficult choice to join it. On the contrary, it can get better development.
And in the eyes of everyone, the initiator of all this is not Her Majesty the Queen, nor is it the current tower master of the Great Sage. And the former owner of that magic tower, Gaybrash? Tripwood.
In this wave, whether they have gained or lost, they have one thing in common, and that is to stay away from the magician. The reverse is also true. That is, when the magician has a tendency to return to the Southwest Peninsula, everyone will prevent such a thing from happening.
In other words, someone's situation in the Southwest Peninsula is similar to that of a street rat. When you see it, everyone will shout and beat it. All Peninsula people know about this magician at the level that a group of half-toned magic apprentices can threaten in the past.
Jaén IV dared Juan to invite such a person back, which shows that the power of the Kingdom of Huelva should not be underestimated. At least no one dared to come to the door to ask for trouble. The airship Gausboton, which belongs to the Leon branch of the Wizards' Association, was moored near the royal city on the orders of its captain to maintain combat readiness. It is to avoid irrational people coming to the door.
But it would be a different matter to want such an acknowledged trouble to stay. Not to mention that the thing that was never allowed to happen was to let that magician have another magic tower!
A tower of great sages is enough to make people despair. If there were two magic towers of the same level, whether they were cooperative or antagonistic, it would be a disaster for everyone else.
When Juan named someone's reputation in the Southwest Peninsula, Lin was rarely silent.
Speechless asked the sky~
But after a while, someone was relieved. Anyway, as I said before, although I started from the Southwest Peninsula, I don't feel like I belong to everyone here. The memories left behind are mostly full of malice.
Not to mention that if he hadn't left at the beginning, how could he have gotten to where he is today. The encounter with the World Tree Wadwo is a great opportunity for him to turn over. If you stay in the Southwest Peninsula, how can you have such an opportunity.
So for the evaluation of this land to himself, and the attitude of being so defensive against himself, Lin didn't think about improving or explaining anything at all. Of course, there is no idea of staying. Is the home of the holy city of Estali bad? It's a place where I feel like I belong. Back in the Southwest Peninsula, what do you get?
After determining his own thoughts, a certain magician was completely let go. Originally, in order to avoid acting too arrogant, he was left to work. So when I came up with an idea, although I didn't leave a hand, I was a lot more restrained in terms of brain holes.
It's good now, knowing that the people here don't welcome you, and the bad attitude is the same as in the past. Then why not seek more benefits for the only Kingdom of Veilva, which has good intentions towards them; Cause more trouble for others.
Therefore, in response to the policy of 'Leshi Leza', led by Hahn IV, Lin tried his best to find an answer from his knowledge and insight, or at least give a direction. It is imperative that the establishment of the first bank in the Southwest Peninsula is not only to seize the opportunity, but also to form a king bomb!
After letting go of the conversation, the time came to midnight, and someone used the flash technique to return to Shengcheng's home.
The red-eyed Hahn IV returned to the palace and worked with the crown prince to draft new laws and decrees. This was really today's conversation, and he couldn't sleep. I wish that the vision drawn by that magician could come true tomorrow.
Although the crown prince's mood was not as crazy as his father's, he was also very attentive in this matter. The reason is simple, he and his cheap elder brother are the only ones who attend the conversation with the magician. And it is impossible for the king and queen to personally oversee the execution of a government matter, so who will do the job?
The magician had already said that if this matter was done, it would be a matter of face. What's more, there is also the promise of the eldest brother as a backer, so there is no need to be afraid of the hypocrisy and wrongs of the people below. So if you don't rely on this time to gain fame and political achievements, when will you rely on?
In order to support this combination, the crown prince also planned to dedicate one of his mansions in the city as the foundation of the bank. Then they only need to renovate the interior and meet the requirements of the goddess of gold coins, and the first bank in the southwest peninsula will be opened.
During this time, Lin inevitably ran between the Holy City and the Kingdom of Huelva, and looked like a commuter commuter. Fortunately, there is a flash technique, so I didn't waste my life on the time of traffic.
As for someone who keeps saying that he doesn't want to work, how did he make himself a commuter? This was by no means a matter of honesty, simply because Lin felt the need to observe the development of banks in the Kingdom of Huelva.
Where banking begins to push. The Five Elven Kingdoms are supported by the World Tree, coupled with an indescribable attraction to coins. These led the elves to choose to embrace the goddess of gold coins, 'Koin', rather than using coins of varying quality minted by other human kingdoms.
The promotion of the holy city of Estali, the Grand Duke of Kaveh, as well as the Gwana Empire, the Vida Militar, etc., is due to the fact that the main circulating coins in these places are traditional fine money, that is, good money. Its precious metal content is higher than that of gold, silver and copper, giving them an advantage in currency exchange.
In recognition of the gold, silver and copper equivalent to the traditional Kiel (gold), Jiangjun (silver) and Danba (copper), the higher exchange rate makes the exchange of new currency equivalent to a disguised increase in wealth. Such an incentive for people in these places, from nobles and magicians to commoners, to use the bank.
The participation of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce is actually the one that someone is most dissatisfied with. Although the bank set up by the Chamber of Commerce meets the requirements of the goddess of gold coins, it can also be accessed by ordinary people. But in the absence of a strong incentive, the banks built by the Jialong Chamber of Commerce are like private banks that only serve themselves.
But it's finally out of the way. And for Lam, the Nguyen brothers of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce are a good collaborator outside of the bank. They do their best to fulfill their requirements. Under such a premise, Lin has no reason to slow down the other party's indominance layout of joining the bank, or even block it.
However, the situation in the southwest peninsula is different from the one mentioned above.
On the surface, there is a shopping mall system in charge, so the financial system of the southwest peninsula does need the functions of banks. But who are the people who use the mall?
Originally, Lin Hui designed the mall to serve the owner of the Magic Tower like himself. So that the needs of the tower owners can be conveyed to the chamber of commerce more quickly, shortening the time to get the goods.
When the mall system is launched, it is not only the tower owners of the magic tower who use it, but also most of the large transactions of the noble lords are also completed in the mall and forums. Of course, the final signing still needs to be face-to-face, but in the negotiation stage of the intention stage, the mall and the forum have indeed changed the business ecology of the Southwest Peninsula.
But the nature of the mall is destined to make it unable to provide complete services for ordinary people. This is because the logistics industry in the lost land is too scummy, or it can be said that there are almost none.
If you want to ship small packages and complete small transactions like the modern earth, how difficult is that...... Someone thinks that it may be easier to farm and then knock down the whole fandom and unify the world.
In short, the biggest incentive for banks on the Southwest Peninsula is not universal among everyone. At least most ordinary people don't need it.
Moreover, the coins in circulation on the peninsula are still ordinary coins, and even bad coins in some places will be used normally. After all, if you don't use it, you don't have to use it. In other words, there is no currency exchange bonus in the Southwest Peninsula to drive people to use the function of banking.
So Lin suggested that the Kingdom of Huelva promote the policy of 'Leshi Leza', also because this policy is really helpful to ordinary people. So under the implementation of 'Leshi Lezuo', what kind of chemical effect ordinary people will have on banks, Lin is very curious.
For this first place to get out of the currency exchange bonus, how will the bank develop, and what kind of resistance or help will be encountered in the promotion, are the focus of Lin's observation. Because for most of the Lost Land, the situation is relatively normal for the Southwest Peninsula.
