Gold is Justice

Hearing this news, Ariel frowned accordingly.

Vaguely, she felt a very bad sign of danger.It's just that she hasn't figured out what this means yet.

Suta continued: "In addition to food costs, other material costs are also rising. Some things have even increased to about ten times what they were at the beginning of this year. Isn't this price scary?"

It was Margo who spoke next, with her hands sticking to a bunch of white hair, she kept circling, and said casually: "Yes, yes, in fact, it's nothing to eat, no matter how high the price of this kind of thing is, it's still a small amount of money. But the cosmetics I want to use recently cost only five silver coins at the beginning of the year, but when I went to see them yesterday, the price of this product has increased to 50 yuan! At this price, the volcanic eruption is not so powerful."

Hearing these news, Ariel nodded lightly. After thinking for a while, she turned to Ke Ke, who lowered her head and only cared about eating.

"cocoa."

Ke Ke was still eating. She picked up a chicken leg, completely disregarding that she was a young girl, and opened her mouth to take a bite. Her mouth was full of greasy food, and she continued to happily eat bread and drink mushroom soup.

"cocoa."

Hearing Ariel's cry again, Margo next to her gently pushed the girl. Only then did the necromancer come back to his senses, glanced at Ariel, then swallowed the food in his mouth, biting Head: "Sister President, what's wrong?"

Ariel looked at this little girl, she was originally a very cute little girl, but now she turned out to be so graceful and graceful.It's just that her behavior doesn't look like a normal girl, which is a pity, but also a little fortunate.Then asked——

"I have given you the accounts of Pelican City and Song of the Mermaid to calculate, what do you think is going on in this situation?"

After being caught by Ariel, Keke tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Sister President, I also thought it was a strange thing at first, but then I thought, it might be because of our relationship with Pelican City during that time." The relationship between economic reforms. Didn’t we replace the original metal coins with paper money? Is it because of this that the prices of many things have increased?”

After a short pause, she continued: "So I think, this situation is likely to be temporary. After our currency issuance reaches a certain level, everything will stabilize, and then the price of our banknotes will not There will be huge fluctuations again. The rapid fluctuations before this should be regarded as a kind of self-regulation of the market, which is normal."

Although Coco explained the reason, Ariel's brows did not relax because of this.

Indeed, currency exchange may indeed cause economic fluctuations, and such fluctuations may even be very violent.

However, Ariel thought that the volatility caused by the exchange of coins for banknotes would be at most one or two months, and it should be stable after three months at most.

However, the current situation has lasted from March to nearly October now, which has entered the last quarter of the year, but prices are still soaring rapidly!Is this really normal?

Seeing Ariel's worried look now, Tesla next to him thought for a while and said, "President, could it be... We had a problem with setting the price of banknotes at that time?"

Ariel was taken aback, then turned to look at the assembler: "What's the problem?"

Tesla said: "In other words, we probably shouldn't have set the minimum denomination points to exchange low-value iron coins, copper coins, and silver coins, but directly set one iron coin to be exchanged for one yuan mermaid coin. In this case, Maybe the price will become like this at the beginning, and then our price will become very stable after a sharp fluctuation?"

Ariel thought for a while and said, "You mean... we should set the denomination of the banknotes higher from the beginning?"

Tesla nodded: "I think so. That...but then again, I am an outsider in this field after all. In our entire guild, you are the president who is really an expert. So I just propose a My own thoughts are not necessarily right."

After Tesla finished his opinion, before Ariel could react, Ego on the other side covered his mouth and laughed.When everyone's eyes turned to him, the elf said very leisurely——

"During the Demon Sealing War, I have seen some countries. For various reasons, they even sold a copper coin worth [-] gold coins."

The first thousand and 460 chapter two financial attacks

"Sister President, if it's really a financial attack...then...then what should we do?!"

The thought of financial attacks made Ke Ke, who is currently the most familiar with the horrors of the economy in the entire guild except for Ariel, turn pale.She clasped her hands on her chest, and her body was trembling a little.Seems to have recalled the horrors of her own financial attacks on other towns earlier.

At the same time, financial attacks are different from military attacks. No matter how powerful the combat power is, no matter how powerful the magic is, it doesn't seem to be very useful.

"Yes, yes! What should we do now?"

"There are counterfeit coins...let's arrest the counterfeiters first!"

"And then? There are already so many counterfeit coins on the market, should we confiscate them all?"

"Of course, they will all be confiscated and destroyed together!"

"How can this be done? This means that more than half of everyone's money will be cut off for no reason! Will the residents agree with us doing such a thing?"

"Then what should we do? Can we just watch them continue to use counterfeit money to make trouble in our city?!"

The members of the guild kept arguing with each other sentence by sentence, even though they still couldn't imagine how the financial attack would come, but since Ke Ke was so frightened, and the president of his family was frowning and thinking like this, but One can imagine that this must not be a good thing.

These guild members are constantly arguing, and they hope to solve the problem at hand.But no matter how long they discussed, it seemed that the final problem would be transferred to the most critical person.

It didn't take long before everyone silently stopped their voices, turned their heads, and looked at the president who was still thinking.

They looked at the thinking face of the president of Mermaid Song, and there was no sadness or helplessness on that beautiful face. Although it seemed to show a little anxiety now, it added to this face. The color of perseverance.

It seems a little inappropriate to use the word "resolute" to describe a woman's face?Especially when describing a beautiful woman like his own president.

However, everyone in the guild at this moment could not find any other words to describe it more accurately.

When this Ariel Garcia didn't use her usual smirk to perfuse everyone, but really thought about it and used her brain to face the challenges brought about by the financial battle, her face The firmness in the heart can make any member compact the calmness in his heart, and feel that everything will have a support.

Everyone is silent...creating a quieter environment.

They all held their breath in this silence and quietness, as if any small breath would disturb this woman's thinking immersed in the deep starry sky.

I don't know how long it took, when the woman finally raised her head again, and the sorrow on her face disappeared in an instant as if it didn't exist at all, all the guild members involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. It's like a big stone in my heart has completely fallen to the ground.

"First of all, we want to get rid of counterfeit money."

Ariel nodded, and expressed her thoughts——

"Then, what we have to do is very simple, and that is to exchange all the counterfeit currency for real currency, and then ban all counterfeit currency in the entire marginal province."

Everyone is waiting.

They waited for the president to continue, to see if something very unique would happen next.Listen to see if there is anything that comes out of the mouth of the president of your family. At first glance, it is completely whimsical, but it often makes people think that there is such a wonderful method in this world.

However, they are still waiting.

After waiting for a long time, until they finally realized that Ariel really only said these two simplest methods, and didn't even have any new ideas, the look of surprise on their faces, But it really turned into a startled expression.

"Will... President, we... exchange all the counterfeit money? Are you sure you don't confiscate the counterfeit money?"

Cream's voice was trembling a little, obviously he couldn't accept it anymore.

Ariel nodded, and the smile finally returned to her face again, and said: "That's right, this kind of counterfeit currency should have come in from outside the marginal province, right? Let our mermaid army check points on the border and search. "

Coco: "Sister President! All the counterfeit coins will be exchanged? All exchanged?! In this case... Wouldn't the price still skyrocket?! Is there no way for us to lower the price?"

Ariel still smiled, and said very calmly: "No, just maintain the status quo. We'll deal with the rest of the matter later."

Up to now, even Margaux, who has always been very calm next to her, has become a little less calm, and said: "You have to make sure that what you are doing is undoubtedly an economic massacre. It is for An economic carnage by people who don't have that much money yet."

Ariel: "I know, that's why I asked to put an end to the entry of counterfeit money from now on. After that, we need to do business as soon as possible and make the business more prosperous. In this, Margaux, you are also considered One of the controllers in charge of sales, do you have the confidence to sell our goods better?"

Just as these guild members "expected", their guild leader really proposed a "surprise" that they had no way to understand.It's just that this surprise looks so terrifying now, like giving up completely, without any resistance at all, it is a one-sided surrender in the face of the empire's financial attack.

However, they have nothing to refute now.

After all, they know that they have no good ideas to come up with in the face of this financial war. Now that the time has come for them to "surrender", they can only do so...

"I'm... a little bit unwilling."

When everyone sat down in their seats again and silently ate the food in their hands, Jelly muttered softly——

"I'm really not reconciled...I'm not reconciled to just admit defeat..."

The people next to him looked at him, but couldn't respond to him.

just at this time...

"Admit defeat? No, this is the beginning of a counterattack~~~"

When everyone thought that this approach was an act of surrender, the voice of the president once again invaded everyone's hearts that were already clouded.

They looked up, only to find that the smile on their president's face was so bright!She ate the bread in her hand very easily, her smile was completely devoid of any perfunctory or pretense.

----

Time, finally entered October.

As the weather turns cooler, the number of merchant ships traveling around Hanhai City also begins to increase sharply. They plan to work harder before the Chinese New Year and make a fortune.

A wonderful scene appeared in front of today's port. Several tall and mighty sailboats pulled a seemingly smaller sailboat slowly into the port. The sailboat seemed to have encountered a naval battle obviously. The body is tattered, the mast has been broken, and there are black marks of fire everywhere.

However, for such a situation, the pedestrians on the shore just glanced at it from a distance, and no longer cared about it.

It's not that this situation is not worthy of attention, but in the past year, it is no longer a rare event for ships towed back in such a dilapidated state, and such things happen almost every month.

Most of these ships that have experienced naval battles are those pirate ships.

According to the edict issued by the royal family, these pirates robbed passing ships, adding a lot of danger to the trade routes and various waters of the Blue Bay Empire.Therefore, the imperial ships have to go out to pay up almost every month, and bring back some war-damaged ships.

At first, the townspeople thought so too.Until last month, something slightly different happened.

It was no longer the pirate's ship that was pulled back, but the ship of the imperial warship.

It was also damaged, and it looked very dilapidated. The damaged hull did not seem to have the might of an imperial warship at all, but instead gave people a feeling like a ghost ship.

According to the rumors, the pirates were very rampant this time. They damaged the imperial warship, but they paid the price of being completely sunk.

It seems that the imperial army still has the upper hand... I just don't know, how long will this era of eradicating pirates last?Along with the actions of the pirates, the foreign trade volume of the entire Blue Bay Empire seems to have begun to decline.

This year, I guess it's really not a good one...

Leaving this port, return to the royal castle that stands on the highest peak of Hanhai City.

At this time, the sky also seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, which seemed to fascinate people's eyes.

But the person standing in the meeting room above the royal castle, looking at the port through the floor-to-ceiling glass, was not blocked by the gray sky.

He looked at the "pirate ship" that was dragged back, but the expression on his face became even more gloomy than that day.

After a long silence, Menglang Bilan, who is the highest authority in the entire Blue Bay Empire, finally came back from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He returned to his seat with a frowning expression, looked at the documents on his desk, and said nothing.

Beside him, his wife was holding their child, which was the next orthodox heir of the entire Blue Bay Empire——Whirlpool Bilan. This little prince had short golden hair, blue like the ocean. Eye.He still doesn't understand anything, he can only curl up in his mother's arms, enjoying the greatest love he can enjoy at this time.

"Honey, you...don't worry so much."

Natalie said something softly, with a little tension in her voice.It seemed that she was afraid of offending her husband at this time.

But it turns out that she was overthinking.

Meng Lang is a gentleman, his love for his wife allows him to control his emotions well.

It's just that it's the limit for the emperor to keep calm now, he can't show a smile to his wife, at most he can only look at Natalie with that suppressed expression.

"You go back with the vortex first. I'll do some work."

Natalie looked into her husband's eyes, and after a moment of silence, she nodded slightly, and left with the little prince in her arms.

The moment before she opened the door to go out, she turned her head and glanced at the frowning emperor sitting at the desk again.
