#1234 - Currency unification in progress

“We will not interfere with your daily operations, but you must support the territory’s economic policies, not provide any form of financial services to any black and gray industries, and are obliged to cooperate with the territory in launching crackdowns.

When necessary, you need to sacrifice your own interests and serve the construction and development of the territory.

As long as you can do this, my territory will certainly open the door to the church bank. "

Gavin would naturally not allow the power of the church bank to override the territory, but would instead allow it to become a tool for the rapid development of the territory.

"Of course." Archbishop of Holy Coin responded readily.

Because he knew that what really determined the relationship between the territory and the church was not the current agreement, but the relationship between the goddess of wealth Waukin and the new demigod in front of him.

If the power of the Goddess of Wealth always overrides that of the other party, then it must be their church bank that guides everything, and those local lords will become their tools to control the enemy.

"What a beautiful gold coin! This is the most beautiful gold coin I have ever seen!"

“I seem to feel magic on it!”

"The portraits of Her Majesty the Goddess and His Excellency the Road Builder, the holy emblems of Mother Earth and the God of Craftsmanship, and this prism that looks like a wave of lava and mist, who does it represent?"

"The former is Abery, the Earth Bear who controls the deep earth, lava, and violence, and the latter is Flancini, the creator of the Elemental Energy Concentrator. She will be the initiator of a new era of magic application!"

"I see, this coin of the gods lives up to its name!"

A number of high-ranking members of the Church of Waukeen were full of praise for the Coins of the Gods, but when it really came time to replace the Waukeen Gold Coins, many of the Upper Gold Archbishops showed hesitation and raised their own questions and difficulties.

"If we use the coins of the gods to replace the gold coins of Waukeen, what will happen to the original mint? We spent a lot of money to build it!"

"What about the Goddess Coins currently circulating in the market? Conservative estimates put the number at several billion!"

"Silence!" Archbishop of Holy Coin said solemnly, "There is no room for bargaining on this matter. This is the divine will of Her Majesty the Goddess. Replacing the Woking Gold Coin is just the beginning. The real goal is to make the Gods' Coin the universal currency of the entire continent.

Just like a common language, all goods are measured and even settled in this currency when traded.

What you need to consider now is how to overcome various difficulties and make this currency circulate and play its due role. "

When he was negotiating the dragon tax with the ancient blue dragon, he had already understood the true intention of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen. This was within the scope of the goddess's duties.

When Goddess Coin was first launched, the Goddess of Wealth had the same purpose.

It's just a pity that although it has a certain effect, it is not ideal. At present, the Goddess Coin is mainly circulated among the Church of Woking and its believers. It is also well-known in towns or territories that do not have their own mints, but it is not easy to use at the national level.

"If it's for the sake of Her Majesty the Goddess, for the smoother conduct of trade, and for the better promotion of faith, it's worth it even if it causes some waste."

“This kind of Gods Coin has advantages that the Goddess Coin did not originally have. It not only has Her Majesty the Goddess and His Excellency the Road Builder, but also the holy emblems of Mother Earth and the God of Craftsmen.

I believe their followers will be very willing to accept this new currency, because carrying this currency is embracing their gods. "

"Carrying this currency is like embracing your own god. This is a good slogan to be engraved on the currency exchange so that every currency exchanger can see it."

"Mr. Road Builder just said to stop the minting of new Goddess Coins, but did not say to stop the circulation of existing ones. We can completely promote it by circulating them while finding ways to recycle them.

This can be fully integrated with banking services. Regardless of whether the money collected previously was in new currency or old currency, all payments will be made in new currency.”

“But this matter involves a question: how to calculate the value of old and new coins? If the minting costs are charged to the currency owners, they will definitely not accept it.

But if our church were to bear all of the expenses, it would be an astronomical amount of money.”

"This is the pain that must be endured for a unified currency. This is the price that must be paid. Even if the price is huge, it must be done!"

"We don't need to abandon our original mint. We just need to modify the stamping dies and process flow appropriately so that they can switch to producing the Gods' Coins..."

The tone set by the Archbishop of Holy Coin immediately caused a 180-degree change in the style of these Archbishops of Gold.

They were a church first and a guild of commerce second; trade and money-making were determined by the ministry of their goddess and were not their primary goal.

Their primary goal, like that of other churches, is to promote the secular worship of the goddess of wealth and trade.

When faith and interests conflict, faith naturally comes first.

At least on the surface, they must not say a word. If they are found to have neglected their duties by the faith patrol team, they will be demoted and expelled from the church at the very least, or their lives will be in direct danger at the worst.

In this world, the true God really exists.

Therefore, most members of the church are conscientious and responsible, unless the god they believe in is negligent in his duties, or his ministry is rather special, such as Shanda Kor, the god of travel and exploration. The core ministry he is in charge of, travel and exploration, dooms him and his believers to be very free and casual, so the church will naturally not be too close-knit or too dedicated.

"You don't need to worry about the minting of the Gods' coins. You only need to be responsible for recycling the old coins. The task of re-minting will be the responsibility of the Gods' Mint." Gavin spoke again.

Another Coin of the Gods flew out from his hand and floated directly above his head. Golden divine light burst out from it. The golden light intertwined and finally converged into an incomparably brilliant scene.

In the huge factory building that looks like a Titan's residence, hot magical energy surges in the huge furnace.

The gold juice with an extremely charming luster was turned into hundreds of coins of the gods under the pressure of huge molds.

This original coin of the gods, which symbolizes the union of the gods, is directly linked to the Mint of the Gods, showing the marvelous production scene there to the archbishops of Shangjin present.

This kind of display is not a flat display like memory projection, but a three-dimensional one.

In other words, at this moment, the shadow of the Mint of the Gods has enveloped the Golden Tower, and everyone is trapped in it.

Even though these archbishops of Shangjin were well-informed, they were still shocked and speechless for a long time.

Until Gavin took back the original coins of the gods, he said lightly: "What you just saw is the Mint of the Gods. The output of this mint alone is the sum of the outputs of all your original mints.

Its other wonderful uses are beyond your imagination.

All you need to know is that this was created by the gods working together, and its coinage price is much lower than that of ordinary mints.

So the cost of a unified currency is not as high as you might think.”

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of these gold-rich archbishops, he gave a brief explanation of the bottom line, but was vague about the cost. Some things are better to be in one's own hands, and this is the case with the Mint of the Gods.

Even so, these archbishops of Shangjin still gasped and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It turns out that the origin of this Coin of the Gods is even more unique and powerful than we imagined. It is truly the result of the union of the gods. This gives us even more confidence."

"This situation has far surpassed the mundane world, and is something that can only be seen in the kingdom of the gods!"

"Should we change our mindset? These Gods Coins can be used as holy coins. Instead of pushing them into the hands of the world, they will buy them at high prices and beg us to exchange them for Gods Coins!"

"I think it's feasible. We just need to reveal the true situation of the Gods' Coin to them. This is an absolute miracle."

"At the beginning, we have to be limited by the production of God Coins, so we can do a limited exchange."

These archbishops are not only good at business, but also have great skills in faith.

When the two are combined, I cannot say that they are invincible, but they do have extraordinary lethality.

They can do it without any miracles, let alone the real existence of the miracle of the Mint of the Gods.

"We can promote it," Gavin stressed again, "Public credibility is the foundation of whether the church bank can be promoted in the mainland.

If you want to make this money honestly, you must give up illegal income.

We cannot control if others want to hoard coins to make money, but we must ensure that we ourselves are clean and the exchange prices we provide to the outside world are open, fair and just.

Anyone who dares to stretch out his claws and destroy the gods' plan will be an unforgivable sinner. I promise to make the greedy soul suffer more than falling into the abyss."

His eyes swept across the crowd, making all the archbishops of Shangjin feel awe-inspiring and forcing them to suppress the little thoughts that had just emerged.

Some money can be earned but not spent, especially in matters that are watched by the gods.

Archbishop Shengbi immediately stated: "Your Excellency Road Builder, please rest assured that our church has its own special financial audit team to ensure that the financial donations from believers to the church match their income.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They are all composed of Fortune Paladins who are loyal to the ladies. Their loyalty to the ladies and their professional abilities are impeccable.

No tax evasion can escape their audit, and no collusion between the inside and outside can escape their scrutiny."

"I've heard of the name of the Fortune Paladin a long time ago. I hope they can continue to maintain their purity and professionalism. There will be more and more places where they can be used." Gavin affirmed.

Anyone who can bear the title of Paladin is absolutely trustworthy in his or her professional field, because their devotion to faith far exceeds that of others.

Once they betray their faith, they can no longer be called paladins.

When talking about Paladins, most people think of them as being intolerant of evil, rigid and inflexible, etc.

Generally speaking, the positive connotation outweighs the negative connotation. In times of crisis, the Paladins are a group of people who are absolutely trustworthy.

But there is also a kind of paladin's name which is more derogatory than complimentary, and it can even be said to be notorious. Many people can't help but spit when they hear their name.

They are the Fortune Paladins of Waukeen, the goddess of wealth.

Like their goddess, these paladins are usually not lawful good, but rather neutral.

There is no major problem with their own conduct; the main problem lies in the work they do - auditing, reviewing and tax collection.

The tax collectors in many local territories are Paladins of Wealth. They have impeccable abilities and can accurately assess the income of those families and collect taxes from them.

The problem lies in their strong tax assessment capabilities. Many local lords may not be reasonable when setting taxes, and the harvest season is different every year, and the income of the people is also different.

However, those Paladins of Wealth do not have the compassion that other Paladins have. They are like exquisite machines, only concerned with completing their own tax tasks.

They didn't care whether the tax system was reasonable or whether the subjects would be in dire straits if they collected taxes normally.

This often results in the fact that the more perfectly they complete their tax collection tasks, the worse the lives of the lower-level subjects become.

The people who knew the root of the problem would only call them the lord's running dogs.

Those ignorant subjects will put all the blame and resentment on these Paladins of Wealth.

Over time, it naturally became notorious.

If used in the right place, these Paladins of Wealth are an unrivaled sword - a deadly nemesis of corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen.

With the rapid economic development, these by-products are inevitable and indispensable.

This matter cannot be relied upon either on their own beliefs or on their conscience.

Instead, it is the strict supervision and powerful punishment system that make them feel awe and dare not reach out easily.

On this matter, the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, and Gavin agree.

Because she knows very well how powerful her own ministry of wealth is in corroding and corrupting people. It will not only make people take risks, but can even turn them into demons and stop at nothing to amass wealth.

This is also the reason why the Dark Prince Graz'zt has set his sights on her, wanting to corrupt this continent through the priesthood of wealth and make it fall into the bottomless abyss.

This matter will not end with the return of the goddess of wealth Waukin. As long as the characteristics of wealth and the greed of intelligent life remain, the souls will not stop falling into the bottomless abyss or the nine levels of hell as they are exploited by demons or devils, and their erosion and spying on the priesthood of wealth will not stop.

Archbishop of Holy Coin said: “I will further strengthen the construction of the Paladins of Wealth and establish the Paladins of Church Banks to specialize in church bank-related affairs.

It not only ensures the safety of the church’s bank wealth, but also ensures that there are no worms inside that would erode the church’s wealth.”

"No organization in this world can be underestimated." Gavin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Church of Woking has been standing for so many years, and has already formed a complete operating organization internally to ensure its own virtuous cycle.

Gavin no longer interfered too much in the internal adjustments of the Waukeen Church, but said considerately: "Our adjustment this time is not small, and it will inevitably have an impact on many of the original industries, especially your church's own coin minting industry.

Special care must be given to those people, such as giving them priority in hiring when establishing church banks, after all, the coinage industry they are engaged in is also related to this.

Those excellent coin minters cannot be buried because of this. If they are willing to work in the Gods Mint, I will arrange for people to assess them. As long as they are qualified, they will be given priority. "

"Your Excellency the Road Builder is so thoughtful that he even considered this."

Archbishop of the Holy Coin said sincerely, "Being able to work in the Mint of the Gods is definitely their dream. I will send someone to arrange this!"

"Oh, you have another important task," Gavin added. "The Gods' Mint has already started production, and the gold we have in stock is only enough for one month of production. I need your help from the Church of Woking to raise gold.

In the early stage, we mainly mint new coins, and recycling and refurbishing old coins will be a matter for the future."

He is well aware of the principle of gradual progress, especially when it comes to the introduction of a new currency.

Test the waters at the lowest cost, and if the effect is good, then increase follow-up.

If there are obstacles everywhere, adjustments need to be made in time.

"Understood." Archbishop of the Holy Coin said without hesitation, "After deducting the gold reserves for emergency use, we can at least raise 100 million worth of gold for His Excellency the Road Builder within a month, but there is a problem with this matter..."

"Transportation problems?" Gavin asked back, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Church of Woking was worthy of being known as the richest church in the continent of Faerun.

They can take out 100 million at a time, and this is just the gold reserves, not including their liquid gold coins, fixed assets, etc.

In comparison, the Shadow Master Guild of Musk, the King of Thieves, is really too poor. The gold and gold coins in its entire treasure trove are worth less than one hundred million.

All I can say is that a termite is a termite, no matter how fat it eats, it is still a termite. The truly rich people are still those who engage in trade.

"Nothing can be hidden from His Excellency the Road Builder." Archbishop of Holy Coin nodded in agreement. "Our gold reserves are scattered in temples all over the place. Large-scale transportation is the biggest challenge. One hundred million worth of gold is not a small amount. It weighs thousands of tons. We not only need to consider the transportation cost, but also the safety issue."

"Understood!" Gavin smiled reservedly, "Don't forget what my priesthood is. Leave this problem to me. I will send armed cloud rays for air transport. All you need to do is prepare the gold. I think there is no need for me to introduce more about armed cloud rays, right?" (End of this chapter)
