Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"After the big reshuffle, things here got back on track, but the population that had been lost could not be replaced. The replenishment of basic supplies allowed the civilians to escape from hunger, but that was all - Trilintelme lacked people with spending power."

Ivignard lowered her head thoughtfully.

"Our advantage now is that we have a large workforce, which has attracted initial investment, and productivity is gradually recovering - but this productivity cannot be converted into tangible economic benefits, which will cause the operation of the city to be stuck."

"The money in circulation is the lubricant for regional operations. The current problem in Trilin Terme is that there is not enough currency in circulation. In the past, there was even a situation where wages were paid in kind. This situation was very effective when civilians were facing a survival crisis, but once they had overcome this crisis, it would become a crisis for the government."

“Then we can start printing money again.”

Her Majesty's reply came out of her mouth.

"Unfortunately, if you start printing a lot of money at this time, it will mean a sharp depreciation of the Leittanian mark and the collapse of the entire economic system of Trilin Termene. Everything will return to the way it was a year ago."

Qiao Yelan gave a cold prophecy.

Chapter 153: Flying Man

"How could this be? We have obtained almost all of Helhun Zuolun's vaults and treasures. The deposit is definitely sufficient. The reason why we didn't print money before was because Cuilintelmei lacked supplies. Printing money is meaningless."

Ivignade said in surprise that the answer given by Qiao Yelan was completely contrary to what she had learned before.

"Now that supplies are sufficient, and non-basic industrial products have begun to circulate, the printing of money should be able to help Trilin Terme's economy recover."

"Indeed, that's what's written in the textbooks."

Qiao Yelan nodded. At least Ivignad’s theoretical knowledge was perfect.

"But in fact, you may have forgotten the premise of taking such measures. The basis for measures such as printing money and overissuing to stimulate the economy is that the government still maintains a sufficient level of credibility - not only in the hearts of the people, but also in the international community."

"I know that since you ascended the throne, you have gradually restored the people's trust in the government, but in fact, Trilintelme's international reputation is not as good as that of special independent cities such as Xiosta and Dosores."

This sentence made the White Emperor fall into deep thought.

This is the side effect of gaining the throne through assassination - they only have the title of emperor, but not the real emperor.

The politics of Leithania had always been dominated by the emperor, but the electors in various places were highly autonomous and only participated as a whole in times of war or trade.

But Helhunzollon broke this political structure. With his absolute power, he completely dominated the entire Leithania. From the lowest common people to the noblest regional electors, they all knelt down and trembled under the harsh rule of the Witch King.

After the collapse of the Tower of Origin, the political landscape went from one extreme to another - the emperor now only has the right to rule over the imperial capital, and almost all electors refuse to obey any orders from the emperor, even in the face of war.

Therefore, there has always been a voice in international public opinion saying that Leithania will soon become the next Victoria. The various electors have in fact divided the country, but are still bound by a name.

This kind of voice has been growing stronger and stronger until the Shi Tongling incident, when it was slightly curbed.

Ivignad was a little annoyed. If it weren't for these guys, the credibility of the Leitanian Mark as a currency would have plummeted internationally, and they would not be facing such a situation now.

One day she would catch these alarmists and hang them on her tower.

Qiao Yelan frowned, and his nose felt sore and swollen as if he wanted to sneeze but couldn't.

The behemoth called the Tower of Babel has come to this day, and most of the witnesses have understood one thing - that is, if something happens and the interests of a person or a force are damaged, and there is no specific person or reason that caused it, you can just say:

[It must have been Qiao Yelang who did it! ]

Of course, this is what Qiao Yelan did.

The emperor died suddenly, the country was in turmoil, the nobles split, Ursus moved south, Victoria looked east...

Listen to this, these few words will bring up a very creepy question, but the answer is very clear -

Which is faster, the speed at which a Leitanian's body falls from a tall building or the speed at which the Leitanian mark depreciates?

The power of Herhunzollon brought stable rule, and the more important thing is that the Witch King's reign lasted far longer than any other emperor, more than a hundred years.

So during his long reign, whether consciously or unconsciously, he was actually turning Leithania into a country - which meant a lot of things.

For example, under the oppression of the Witch King, the electors and nobles everywhere have adapted to the use of the Leithanian Mark for national circulation.

This means that if the Leitanian mark falls into an unstoppable depreciation, the whole of Leitania will bear the consequences.

Give the Terra beast-eared girls a little shock from the economic crisis.jpg

The amount of money held by the common people is very small. Similarly, the amount of money held by the nobles who own larger territories does not account for the majority, but only a part of the liquid capital.

When the currency falls into endless depreciation, civilians will cleverly squander their money quickly and then return to barter transactions.

The great nobles will grit their teeth and hold on, relying on the real economy and the military power in their hands to force their way through.

The most miserable people are those who hold the largest amount of currency, namely merchants and small and medium-sized nobles, the so-called "middle class".

——They will be the most helpless leeks under the economic sickle of the Tower of Babel.

As for why Trilinterme seems to have been barely affected by the economic crisis...

First, the war concealed the outbreak of this crisis, or in other words, the crisis brought about by the war included this part, making most people almost unaware of it.

Secondly, Qiao Yelan did not touch Helhunzollon’s private treasury or the national treasury of Leithania, and left a large amount of gold and treasures for the twin sisters, leaving enough deposit.

Finally, the merchants who were deceived by Qiao Yelan from Casimir enthusiastically waved their funds and supplies and walked into Cuilinterme.

Qiao Yelan reserved all his tenderness for Trilintelme. As for other Leitania regions besides this city...

The Leitanians there will be grateful for the cheap food sent by Babel -

Just like those Victorians did a few years ago.

This is exactly what Qiao Yelan said, the reason why Ivignad's money printing will only lead to soaring prices - Babel Tower had just shorted the Leitanian Mark and was still enjoying the feast.

"So what should we do, teacher?"

"It's very simple. What you need to do is not just to print money, but to prepare a new kind of banknote, such as the [Gold Mark], to distinguish the currency circulating within Trilinterme from the previous Leitania Mark."

Qiao Yelan said with a smile.

"But even if the gold mark can be promoted, at most the people of Trilintelme can trust us now, but other regions and forces will not recognize us."

"It doesn't matter. We don't need them to admit it. Just wait a while and directly link the gold mark to the Longmen currency. The official exchange rate will be fixed."

The man shrugged and said easily.

It’s like in the past, in any chaotic area, the strongest currency in circulation was the US dollar - it’s just that it is exchanged for Longmen currency here.

"We will take this opportunity to directly announce the issuance of gold marks and open currency exchange at the Central Bank, allowing visitors from various countries to exchange and circulate in Trilin Terme."

"But it's too late. We simply don't have the time or resources to design a new currency."

Ivignad said in embarrassment.

"I know, it doesn't matter - Babel has it."

This sentence made Ivignard stunned.

"teacher?"

"Yes, a complete set of new currency, from the master plate to the printing machine, which I just brought out from Longmen's underground warehouse."

The White Emperor naturally didn’t know why the Tower of Babel had this - this was actually the product of Qiao Yelan’s previous first version of the [Longmen Coin Project].

Now this was designed by Dayan, but after all, at the beginning, Qiao Yelan did not intend to let Dayan carry out the Longmen Coin promotion plan alone, but Ursus and Dayan would work together.

You can always believe how bad those bears are in economics.jpg

Therefore, the Tower of Babel designed a set of currencies and master templates in advance, and even stockpiled a batch of printing machines to ensure that the plan would not be delayed.

You all know what happened next.

So when Qiao Yelan handed the Longmen coins to Dayan, he was already thinking about how to recycle these things - then he remembered that he seemed to have ruined the economy of Leithania before, and it has not been repaired until now.

So after some minor modifications, the entire set of facilities was sent directly to Cuilintelme as a way of reusing waste.

It turns out that the teacher went to Dayan for this matter.

Ivignade suddenly understood, and any grievances and complaints she had were instantly thrown out of her mind.

She knew that how could the teacher abandon them for his own selfish interests?

It turned out that Qiao Yelan had already seen this hidden danger, and knew that if this was done in Cuilintelme, it would easily be leaked, so he went to Longmen, and took advantage of the momentum of Dayan's promotion of Longmen currency to quietly prepare a whole set of new currency for himself.

"thank you teacher."

"Do we need to talk about this between us?"

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

If I don't give it to you, it will have to be thrown into the furnace for secondary recycling. It's a pleasant surprise that this thing can still be used.

"But there is another matter that you need to pay attention to."

"Teacher, please tell me."

"Letania has always been famous for its Originium spells and warlocks. There shouldn't be many warriors who rely solely on physical combat, right?"

Ivignad nodded.

"Yes, indeed there are not many. Even warriors usually have very good Originium spell abilities. For example, the Golden Rule Guards are also excellent music spellcasters."

"Generally speaking, warriors who rely solely on their physical strength are extremely rare. However, if there are warriors in Leitania who dare to rely solely on their physical strength, they are all extremely powerful."

Qiao Yelan nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.

"I need you to find a way to help me gather such talents, or at least warriors who mainly rely on physical combat and Originium spells are only auxiliary."

Ivignad's request to Qiao Yelan was very strange.

Every country has its own peculiarities, strengths and weaknesses. For example, the most famous people in Leitania are the warlocks who cast spells, while the most famous people in Casimir are the knights who fight with their bodies.

Qiao Yelan has such a good relationship with Casimir. If he wants such warriors, can't he just recruit a group of knights from Casimir? Why bother looking for a needle in a haystack in Leithania?

"Are you confused?"

"Yes, if you want warlocks, I can immediately transfer enough warlocks to you. But for warriors who mainly rely on physical strength... wouldn't it be better to recruit them from Casimir?"

Ivignard did not hide her confusion but spoke directly about it.

"Not this time - I want to bring the warriors of Leitania to Casimir and become competitive knights there."

Qiao Yelan shook his head slightly.

A competitive knight?

Ivignad knew what it was. In order to build up its own armed forces, the Chamber of Commerce modeled its existence after the Casimir military and called it knights. But in fact, they were completely different creatures from the real Knights of the Supervisory Council.

The former were beasts for people to enjoy in the arena, while the latter were armies that could actually massacre cities and destroy nations.

Apart from the fact that the performance of the competitive knights supported by each enterprise in the Knights' Championship held every three years determines the list of plots that will be spliced ​​into the [Grand Knight Territory], this thing has almost no use.

"In order to participate in the [Great Knight Territory], Babel invited several foreign aids, but these foreign aids have special identities, so they must be introduced in a different identity. In the eyes of the Casimir people, Babel and Leitania have been very close in recent years, so they pretended to be Leitanians."

Qiao Yelan explained.

"Then just pretend. Do you really need to find the Leitanians?"

"Of course we have to look for them. Not only that, we have to form a team and go to Casimir to fight as representatives of Leitania in the name of the Queen."

what?

This is a competition that will determine the economic landscape of the Chamber of Commerce in the next three years. How could she be asked to send a team to participate?

Would those people be willing?

"The goal is not to win. You can just announce that the ranking of the Leitania team does not count towards the results. We are only participating to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries."

"I see...but is it necessary to make such a big fuss about it?"

Ivignard was still a little confused.

"Of course, the foreign players I found this year are a bit strong - or too strong, so I thought, take this opportunity to spread the name of the Leitania Knights in Casimir."

Qiao Yelan yawned.

"You only have one fiefdom, Trilinterme, so you must find a way to expand the channels of communication with the outside world, such as establishing a friendship city with Casimir. Spreading the reputation of the Leitanian knights will be very beneficial to the communication and openness of this city."

"This year, Babel will rely on [Letania's foreign aid] to take the lead. If the team you send out also gets good results, it will make Casimir's capital realize that if they want to get good results, the best way is to pull in some foreign aid from Leitania."

The man said nonchalantly.

"When the time comes, I will find someone to help with the training. I will first create a god who will win the Leithania Triple Crown. Then the Casimir people will definitely try their best to buy foreign players from the Leithania Division. After that, we will let the team that buys foreign players win the championship twice, so that the people in the Commercial Federation can have a taste of sweetness."

"But won't this cause resistance among the Casimirs?"

The woman blinked.

"That's fine. Babel Tower can start marketing the [Competition Knights composed of pure Casimir people] then."

Qiao Yelan said with a smile.
