Before you know it, the season is quietly entering autumn, and the weather is a little cooler.Since the completion of the unification, there has been no major incident in the Dawnlight Kingdom, and most of the displaced people who had been displaced by the war have found a suitable place to settle down.Under Owen's instructions, city halls around the country are vigorously developing the economy and improving people's livelihood.As a result of this policy, the living conditions of many poor people have improved significantly, as they have successfully found jobs.In addition, the city hall has also strictly enforced the Labor Law, which was enacted last fall, to ensure that the basic rights of workers are not exploited by some unscrupulous factory owners and that they are entitled to their due remuneration.Thanks to Owen's planning of roads across the country, wide avenues began to be built between the kingdom's major cities.These large-scale construction projects require a large construction team to carry out, creating a large number of jobs, but also making business and trade activities more prosperous, and a large number of cheap industrial goods flowing into the internal market, creating a virtuous circle of economy.Of course, in the process of development, some problems will inevitably arise.For example, Owen found that his current currency was becoming more and more insufficient.The reason is that factories produce a large number of industrial goods, and these goods have a corresponding value, and their circulation in the market requires more money.The circulation of metal currency is related to the output of rare metals, since it is a rare metal, its output naturally cannot meet the current required currency circulation.In addition, metal money will inevitably wear out in the process of circulation, and gradually become insufficient in value.Every year, the Kingdom of Dawnlight must collect these badly worn coins, remint them, and put them back into the market.In this case, Owen intends to borrow from Winster's side for monetary reform.With the endorsement of the state's credit, a state-owned bank was established to issue banknotes equivalent to the current currency, and gradually replace metal money in the market.Compared to metal currency, paper money is cheaper to make, easier to store, carry and transport, and can avoid the wear and tear of metal money in circulation.When Owen told Clive about the idea, the latter's eyes widened and he said incredulously that if paper money replaced metal money, wouldn't the banks with the right to issue paper money have unlimited wealth and be able to buy everything in the world, and would the people really accept it?
Hearing this, Owen couldn't help but raise his hand to hold his forehead, and the indiscriminate issuance of currency would depreciate, which would then lead to other problems.Given that the issuance of paper money was an unprecedented and huge undertaking, it was not surprising that Clive would think so, and reminded Owen that the currency reform package must be pursued at the right time.At the very least, it is necessary to train people who understand economics before they can safely manage the bank, and the amount of banknotes issued must be in line with the current circulation required for economic development.So, Owen gave Clive a few books on economics so that he could read them in the spare time.Auroville, Lord's Castle, Office.On this day, Owen sat at his desk, reviewing the detailed report of the joint investigation team when they returned.During the investigation, both joint investigation teams were attacked by the undead monsters, but fortunately, with the weapons in their hands and the cooperation between them, they successfully eliminated the undead monsters without a decrease in personnel.The final result was not as expected by Owen, as neither team found anything to show as to where Katz was hiding."
AhhSeeing this, Mapel on the side asked with concern, "Didn't the investigation team on the side of the Red Sand Fortress find the hiding place of the Kaztu either?"
”"Yes."
Owen nodded, "Except for being attacked by undead monsters, nothing was found." ”"Hmm......
Don't be so discouraged, Your Majesty. ”"This is only the result of the first investigation, the Maker Desert is so vast, it is impossible to investigate it clearly at one time, and the second and third investigations will be carried out in the future, and the clues to the hiding place of the Kaz disciples will definitely be found at that time." ”Indeed, according to the cooperation agreement agreed between the two countries, this joint investigation mission will last for several years, during which the joint investigation team will go deep into the Makh Desert several times to carry out searches.Even if you don't get the results you want from the first survey, don't be too discouraged."
You're right, I'm in a hurry."
Owen smiled helplessly and said, "The plague of the undead monsters in the north has lasted for more than two hundred years, and it is impossible for me to solve it so easily. ”It is hoped that the follow-up investigation will be able to find the hiding place of the Kaztu, and then as long as they join forces with the Caleb Holy Cult to destroy it, they will be able to end this battle that has lasted for more than two hundred years.Immediately afterward, Owen said in a deep voice with some concern: "I'm just a little worried. ”"What is Your Majesty worried about?"
Marpel asked."
Just in case, I mean just in case, the Kaztu aren't in the Mak's Desert at all."
Owen replied with a solemn face, "Then our joint investigation this time, including the previous investigation, is all useless work. ”"It should ......
No way. ”To be honest, Marpel couldn't be sure, after all, the Holy Sect of Caleb had been searching for more than two hundred years, and had never found the hiding place of the Kaztu, so there was indeed such a possibility.But if the Kaztu is not in the Maka Desert, where will it hide?"
Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a personal guard walked into the office quickly, stroked Owen's chest and said, "The head of the security bureau requested a meeting, saying that there is an urgent matter to report. ”"Let him in."
Owen closed the report in his hand and placed it on the side of the table.It didn't take long for the director of the Security Bureau to come to the office, salute respectfully, and report: "Your Majesty, I have just received news from Junhui City that Longya Ridge has received an urgent message, which was secretly sent by a spy sent to the Popang Empire. ”The Popang Empire?
It was obviously not good news that the spies who had been sent there had sent urgent information so quickly.Thinking of this, Owen's face became gloomy and asked, "What's going on over there?"
Say it. ”"Back to Your Majesty."
The head of the Security Bureau cautiously reported: "In Einbek, the eastern metropolis of the Popon Empire, spies have discovered that a large army is being assembled there, and it is suspected that they are going to send troops against us. ”It was really said by the envoy of the Fagalan Alliance that the Popon Empire has plans to send troops to invade the Dawn Kingdom, and judging from the intelligence, it is very likely that it will do it in the near future.However, the Popon Empire had not yet completely annexed the Fagaran League, so why would it suddenly turn to attack other countries?
Is it because Valren can't attack for a long time and wants to change the target to carry out a surprise attack?
In any case, the other side has already assembled an army in Einbek, and the Dawnlight Kingdom must be prepared to deal with it.
