Solomon held his face in one palm and watched the crowd's performance.

Now the battle on the stage is about to enter incandescent indescent, but it is not Solomon's turn yet.

After all, he can only be regarded as a small role in the venue, although this small role has already leveraged the cornerstone of power in Asturias.

Several representatives of the merchants who were fortunate enough to attend were very excited, including Kindleberg, who had been summoned after Solomon.

He brought good news to Solomon that the stake in the bank they intended to set up had reached a value of nearly five thousand Mithril coins, which was almost three million silver coins in the current market value.

Originally, the ratio of Mithril coins to silver coins was about 1:800 (gold coins to huàn silver coins, and Mithril coins to huàn gold coins to huàn gold coins to 1:40), but with the plundering of precious metals in foreign wars, silver coins began to depreciate, and gold coins fluctuated less, while Mithril coins appreciated, mainly because magicians provided services and alchemical products more often preferred customers to pay with Mithril coins.

Subscriptions continue, and the news has spread to the circle of merchants outside the commodity exchanges.

According to Kindleberger's idea, he originally wanted to block the news as much as possible first, so that the merchants of the commodity exchange also subscribed, and if there was still a need to announce it to the public, but it was not easy to block the news.

Solomon had no intention of blocking the news at all, because the more principal the bank could muster and the more money it could lend to the kingdom, the more valuable it would be, and the more likely it would be to persuade the royal family and nobles to agree to the terms.

The power struggle in the venue was temporarily stopped, and Edward's plan to kill three soldiers came into play. The three dukes of Medici, Byron and Bourbon were suspended on the grounds that they needed to rest. Actually, I went to which house to fight for.

But the battle that followed did not stop. The small and medium-sized nobles holding their thighs on both sides quoted scriptures, and their mouths were frothing and arguing below.

Several merchant representatives who had the privilege of participating in the parliamentary process for the first time were dumbfounded, and felt that the nobles and lords who were usually high up were actually similar in demeanor to them.

But they were still shocked, not only because of the beauty of Perth Palace, but most importantly because of the opportunity for businessmen to discuss politics in it.

But it was only the discussion of politics, and the power of the merchants in parliament was the second point of contention between the royal family and the dukes.

The merchants were brought into Parliament by the royal family as a force to keep the dukes in check and to provide them with monetary support in return, and the royal family generously agreed to express their opinion on the affairs of the kingdom.

And the Dukes began to desperately resist. But they now also need the support of businessmen to keep the war going, so they have to make concessions.

However, no matter which side only regarded the merchant representatives as pawns, even if the royal family agreed to give the merchants the power to discuss politics, it was only in the hope that in the later parliament whose powers were expanded, there would be enough cannonballs to stand up and bombard the nobles on behalf of His Majesty.

Although Edward has the ultimate veto power and can even dissolve the parliament, it is certainly best not to use this weapon lightly, and nuclear weapons that are not used are the most deterrent. It's really much used, although it can suppress the big nobles. But it will certainly cause a rift in the power structure of the kingdom, and the strictness will affect unity and morale.

Since everyone has tacitly decided to expand the powers of the parliament and use it as a place and tool for the competition of various forces in the future, it is best to solve the problem with tools.

"Sir Solomon, Your Majesty wants to see you. A chamberlain crept up to Solomon and whispered.

Edward wants to meet Solomon in private?

Kindleberg and the others, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but show envious expressions when they heard this, and then the chamberlain said that His Majesty also planned to meet several of them at the same time.

So through the noisy venue, Solomon and the others walked into a large room with a red carpet under the guidance of the chamberlain.

Edward was not alone, he was accompanied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as several newly appointed cabinet ministers.

There were three other people, dressed luxuriously and meticulously dressed, and they were actually sitting, looking coldly at Solomon and the others who came in.

"The Duke of Medici, the Duke of Byron, the Duke of Bourbon, this is Viscount Solomon. Edward Road.

Solomon looked at the three men, among the three dukes, the Duke of Medici was an old gentleman who was already a little old, while the Duke of Bourbon had a grim face but a smile between his eyebrows, as if he had just experienced a victory, only the Duke of Byron's face was a little ugly, I don't know why.

"Solomon, the one before you is either a cabinet minister or a duke of the kingdom. As you saw in the room, I have agreed to allow businessmen to enter the council, and now I would like to know how the plan you told me is going. ”

When he said this, almost all the people looked at him, especially the Duke of Bourbon, who was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Solomon, he seemed to remember something.

"It went very smoothly, 陛xià. Solomon replied, then he pointed to Kindleberg, "This is Mr. Kindleberg, the chairman of the Governing Board of the Saint-Quentin Commodity Exchange, and it is better for him to report to you." ”

Kindleberg was a little nervous under the gaze of the big man in the room, but he quickly adjusted his feelings and honestly explained the current situation.

After hearing that in less than a day, more than three million silver coins worth of money had been raised, which could be used to lend to the kingdom to continue the war, and the whole room showed a look of joy.

"Very well done, Kindleberg, you must continue to do this with all your efforts, and if you do well, you will be knighted as a baron. "But what is the name of this bank that lends money to the kingdom?"

Kindleberg was very happy, and several businessmen next to him also showed jealous and envious expressions.

"Let's call it the Central Bank of Asturias. Solomon helped pick a name.

After asking about the general progress, Edward encouraged the merchant representatives to be loyal to their country, and then asked them to step down.

Wait for the representatives of the businessmen to leave. Edward asked Solomon, "Now the financial problems are because of your bank's plan to borrow money. Maybe it can be solved. But this war is a matter of people and things. Listen to Regina, you and the dwarves, and a female mage, are you working together, and there is hope to lower the threshold for teleportation?"

This time, the three dukes couldn't restrain their surprised looks, and the bodies sitting in the seats couldn't help but lean out, and their faces also showed expressions of eagerness to know.

As Edward said just now, war is the consumption of people and goods, and the supply of materials. Because of the establishment of the central bank, logistics will be guaranteed.

But the strength of the army is still a big problem, and now Yugudral and Farusion are relying on the strong to deter each other, but the strong men of other countries are also rushing to the other, once they contain the strong of their own country, the superior forces of the other side will not be able to resist.

If Solomon can indeed lower the teleportation threshold, then the situation of the war will have a serious impact, and in a short period of time, the strength of Asturias will change from inferior to superior, until other countries can also lower the teleportation threshold.

But by that time, Asturias had certainly gained a foothold.

The time to come. Solomon was questioned by a room full of people, especially the three dukes. The Duke of Bourbon asked while staring at Solomon's eyes.

Solomon is sure that the three dukes are at least high-level powerhouses, because they can feel the spiritual coercion, but this is in the Perth Palace, in front of Edward, they are unlikely to use the spiritual coercion to significantly influence Solomon.

Not only did they ask about lowering the threshold for transmission, but they also asked a lot about the establishment of the central bank before.

After the questioning, the harvest season began.

Edward was very pleased with his cousin, agreeing that he would give Solomon a sum of money to start the legion after the central bank borrowed money from the kingdom.

Although Solomon was sure to raise money from the merchants because of the use of the Black Rock, if Edward wanted to give it, he certainly wouldn't want it.

In addition to this, Edward also gave him an official position, the most senior assistant below the Minister of International Trade, Vice-Minister of International Trade.

It was a memorable day, the Central Bank of Asturias was officially established, and the merchant Guò took a stake in the bank, and in half a month, he raised nearly 10,000,000 silver coins, which were valued at 15,000 Mithril coins of the highest purity, and lent them to the kingdom.

Half a month later, three more borrowings were raised, each time worth more than three million silver coins.

The new cabinet received the loans on behalf of the kingdom and his majesty, and the kingdom did not repay the loans directly, but allowed the central bank to pay off them with negotiable bank notes, which were converted into the same value for the amount of money borrowed, and then issued bank notes of different denominations.

The division of the value of the denomination of bank bills is a reference to the value distinction of the size of the Mithril coinage, which is being improved in the city of freedom, and stipulates that the minimum unit of bank note is one pound, which is equal to the value of the Mithril coinage with a value content of ten percent, and the initial exchange is five eagle gold coins.

This money strongly supported Asturias' foreign wars.

Of course, this is only in terms of materials.

With the expansion of parliamentary powers and the formal birth of the Cabinet, the dual constitutional monarchy resolved the division of power in Asturias, ending the previous disadvantage of the royal family and the dukes fighting against foreign enemies.

To put it simply, the compromise and bridging of the power structure has made the war more efficient.

Even if the power of the same ten remains the same, it used to be five five, but now it has become three seven, and you can adopt the strategy of the lower and the upper one.

Moreover, with the success of the central bank's borrowing, Asturias's strength is far from 10% of the previous strength, but may be 120%, or even more, from all-out defense to offensive and defensive.

Of course, the part of the group that is the one who goes to drag the enemy will definitely suffer a big loss.

But just like the approach adopted by the three dukes when solving Edward's strategy of killing three soldiers.

The Duke of the Medici was the most powerful and slightly more prestigious than the other two dukes, and the Duke of Bourbon was slightly more prominent than the other two dukes because of his recent successful counter-attacks in the battle of Faroucion, and his military record was slightly more prominent than the other two dukes, so he grabbed the position of foreign minister.

The two had to make some compensation to the Duke of Byron, who had no position, to compensate him for his losses.

Similarly, the kingdom will compensate those who lose a lot of money by acting as a subordinate in the overall strategy.

This finally brought Asturias out of the mire of disadvantage.

However, the most important step is still to be taken advantage of by Solomon's Black Rock. (To be continued......)
