Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

Chapter 153 152. Imperial Bank
Three days later, an explosive news appeared in the capital of the empire, which triggered heated discussions among the citizens.

That is, metal currency will no longer be used in the future, and the golden dragon is no longer a currency, but has become an expensive metal.

The bank in the center of the imperial capital began to gather the folk golden dragons, and the citizens needed to exchange the metal coins in their hands for Chang Xialun.

一金龙对等一百张百元长夏仑，也就是一万仑，帝国发行的纸币面额分别为1仑、5仑、10仑、20仑、50仑和100仑。

If you have a lot of wealth, you can exchange it for imperial stocks, or store it in a bank, and the bank will give you 0.3% interest per year. Of course, you can also borrow money from the bank, and you will only be charged 5% interest per year.

After the news was sent out, only about one-fifth of the citizens exchanged the metal currency in their hands for banknotes. Most of the citizens turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear the call of the empire.

But in the next week, they will rush to exchange the golden dragon for Chang Xialun, because the empire immediately ordered that all empire industries will be settled in Chang Xialun.

That is to say, firstly, the merchants had to exchange the golden dragons in their hands for Chang Xialun, and then they could purchase goods from the empire, and merchants and nobles had started to use Chang Xialun, so they naturally had to settle for Chang Xialun when they sold things.

Otherwise, going back and forth to the bank to exchange would increase labor costs, and they heard that the empire would open the channel for Changshalun to exchange banknotes a year later, which made them feel a little relieved.

However, most merchants still hid some of the golden dragons to prevent any accidents in the future. They basically understood the operation mode of the bank, and naturally they were worried that the empire would wantonly print such strange banknotes in the future, and the market would collapse.

At that time, Jinlong was still the currency with the most purchasing power.

Moreover, many well-informed and far-sighted businessmen have already purchased a batch of national bonds, which is the newly launched thing called stocks by the empire.

In just half a month, branches of the Imperial Bank appeared in various parts of Azenia, Changshalun began to circulate on a large scale, and some unscrupulous people have already begun to try to imitate this kind of banknote.

However, Chang Xialun's production materials are very complicated, and many materials are controlled materials. Not to mention whether they can be imitated, even if these materials are obtained, there are no pants left.

And the citizens of the empire resisted from the very beginning, and gradually began to adapt to the convenience of using paper money. After all, whether it is selling grain to the empire or buying things from the empire's factory, they can only use Changshalun.

Now Chang Xialun is the currency in circulation recognized by the empire, while gold dragons, silver coins, and copper coins have become rare metals, not currency in circulation.

Because Theon started preparations three years ago and has been preparing for two and a half years now, the personnel trained for this are very proficient in various businesses, so this currency reform has not encountered much resistance.

The recovered golden dragon and silver coins have already begun to be returned to the furnace to be remade and purified, and cast into gold bars for preservation. As for the copper coins, the number collected is the largest, which is also one of Theon's main purposes.

Copper bullets have superior performance, but consume a lot of copper. After all, the empire is about to enter the era of bolt-action rifles. The new granular gunpowder can only be used with copper to make copper bullets.

Amika was the most active in exchanging Chang Xialun. This guy couldn't wait to move the three thousand flintlock guns home.

最后安米卡如愿购买了三千支燧发枪和30万发子弹，总共花费了15亿3000万长夏仑。（1CXL≈1RMB的购买力）。

This price is purely taken for granted. The cost of a flintlock gun is about 10 luns, which is 10 silver coins, and the future plan of the empire is 10 gold dragons, which means 100 luns for a gun and [-] luns for a bullet.

To be honest, at the beginning, the empire was a bit hypocritical about this price. After all, the empire clearly knew that the cost of guns and ammunition was only a little, and the hundredfold profit made the empire worry that it would not be able to sell it at first.

But Amika reminded the empire that the current flintlock guns cannot completely replace spears, bows and arrows, and armor.

But it can greatly affect the direction of a war. After all, a qualified archer needs at least two and a half years of training before he can get started.

And a flintlock can almost completely replace the archer. The only difference is that the range and stability are not very good, but the quantity can fully make up for this.

At the very beginning, the empire was worried that the price would be too high, which would cause other forces to stop buying and arming. For this reason, Theon planned to personally participate in the exhibition to show other forces the role of flintlock guns.

Fortunately, at this time, a certain bully came to the door, which was far more effective than the advertisement by the empire itself.

And then Theon plans to send flintlock guns to King's Landing, and then let Tyrion persuade King's Landing and the West to practice against the Tedel family.

And the discovery of new weapons will certainly affect the occupied River Bend land. After all, they have kidnapped the now titular King of King's Landing and poisoned Joffrey to death.

When the time comes when the Western Territory and the military force are free, they will definitely clean up the wealthy Gaoting. Not only can they take revenge, but they can also gain a lot of wealth from Gaoting.

　I changed the business line, and there will be no night shifts in the future, all 9-6, and weekends
