Gold is Justice

Her husband...is an emperor.

Be the emperor of an empire.

I married the most powerful man in the empire, he should have been even stronger, and I can also become the most honorable woman in the empire by virtue of my status as the wife of the strongest man.

But now, the most powerful man in her eyes looks so fragile.

That's not a physical vulnerability, it's a mental one.

Owning such a great empire does not bring that kind of glory. On the contrary, there may be a vague bad feeling that begins to occupy Natalie's heart.However, Natalie went out quietly.

After walking out, she handed over the little prince in her arms to the maid who had been waiting by her side.She needs to let herself take a rest, adjust her mood at the same time, and continue to maintain her beauty and elegance.

Of course, she knew that her beauty could not last forever.However, this is the glory of being a queen of a country.

She knows that as she grows older, the years will carve marks on her beautiful face.But these traces will be the majesty and benevolence of the mother of a nation.

No matter what, as long as her husband is still the emperor of the Blue Bay Empire and her son is still the prince of the Blue Bay Empire, then she can let the traces of time be carved on her face. It is a supreme honor.

Da-da-da-

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from over there.

After seeing Natalie, the man quickly stopped in his tracks, stepped aside, lowered his hands respectfully, and bowed his head.

Natalie also saw this person, but now, after seeing this person, she no longer had the same good face as before, but looked a little indifferent.

When passing by this person, the queen finally murmured softly——

"You are a good student."

The voice was soft, but it got into the man's ears with great accuracy.It made this scholar-type courtier tremble involuntarily.

When he raised his head to look, the queen had already drifted away, but from the back view, that figure looked so huge!So huge...a shadow was stretched enough to cover his entire body.

After the figure of the majestic queen finally disappeared, Connor Conservative finally let out a breath.

He tidied up his appearance and stood in front of the office door.

Soon, the attendant at the door let him in, Connor entered the room, and when the door closed behind him, he saw the emperor sitting at the desk, watching him silently.

"His Majesty……"

After taking two steps, Connor immediately knelt down in front of the fierce wave and saluted.

And the fierce wave who has always maintained a kind of self-restraint in front of his wife finally couldn't bear it anymore.He stared at Connor, lowered his voice, and said slowly in a voice that didn't seem human-

"Are you still loyal to me?"

This simple question really scared Connor to the point where he lowered his raised head.He gritted his teeth, and almost pressed his body against the carpet completely, and curled up even more.

But he also knew that when the current emperor asked this sentence, what he was asking for was not a simple answer such as whether he was loyal or not.

What the emperor wants is a solution...a solution that can break the situation immediately!

"Your Majesty... After studying it, I feel... I really feel that the method of counterfeiting currency proposed by Her Majesty the Queen is really not a good method... Especially now, it may have inspired my stupid apprentice. Resistance, which led to things becoming what they are now... But! There is still a solution to the problem!"

Menglang did not show dissatisfaction with Connor's weakness and compromise.

In fact, he even felt a little pitiful for the teacher in front of him.

From a rational point of view, this teacher may have taught the biggest enemy of the Blue Bay Empire.He turned a humble female slave into a sharp sword that destroyed the economy of the Blue Bay Empire.In the past school life, all his careful teaching to that humble female slave, from another perspective, is simply a slow murder against the entire empire!

But judging from an emotional point of view, Meng Lang felt that this man was really pitiful.

He may not have left the campus much in his life, and the old Tengshu College may have occupied his entire life.

His happiness, his love, his dream, his fantasy, his knowledge... everything has become the cornerstone of the school.It made the man both great and humble, full of love in his heart but unable to put it into practice.

Such a poor man, he can impart knowledge, but cannot give courage and courage.In this respect, his student is really much better than him.

In the interweaving of sensibility and rationality, Meng Lang felt that he should give the man in front of him a chance.

He wants to keep his mood calm, after all, getting angry can't solve the problem in front of him.

He must always remember that he is the king of a country, the emperor of a country, not a street rascal, and all problems can be solved by relying on anger and ruthlessness.

Therefore, even though he felt that the man in front of him was pitiful and hateful, he still wanted to summon him and seek his help and advice.

"Tell me, I can start listening from the beginning. Now, you can treat me as your student, use the method you teach students, and let me know how people like you can easily defeat you. The one hundred thousand soldiers in my hand."

The meaning of economics in the first thousand and 460 chapters

Before narrating those key events, an inadvertent smile flashed across Connor's face, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

This smile is shown for the student he is most proud of. He is proud of this student who can do such a thing, and because she can make the power of economics stand out, so that the entire old Tengshu College begins to pay attention to economics. I am extremely proud!However, such a smile is only for a moment.

After that smile, what he showed was regret and helplessness for that child's determination.

She can come up with her own theories, she can show what she thinks.Of course, those theories and thoughts are best formed into a thesis, which can become part of a great book.

The worst thing to do is to put these theories into practice and show them in the real world.

At the very least... it should not be displayed within the territory of the Blue Bay Empire.

At this time, the teacher slowly raised his head.

There was a slight sadness in the expression on his face.

Now, he already knew that his student had completely surpassed himself in some aspects.

It is something that a teacher can be extremely proud of when a student surpasses the teacher.

But what makes this teacher's heart so painful is that next, he has to crush this student who surpassed himself with his own hands... No matter in terms of theory, spirit, or life, he must crush together... …

Tears began to gather in the eye sockets of the teacher.But he wiped his face away before the Emperor in front of him could fully see it, and raised his head again.

With the emperor's permission, he slowly got up, took a deep breath, and finally began to explain the theory he had comprehended in this incident.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to ask you a question."

Meng Lang nodded, using his rest to cover up his anger: "You ask."

Connor said: "Excuse me, how do you understand the money of the empire?"

Meng Lang squeezed his chin and thought for a while. He was not surprised or angry because the humble courtier in front of him asked such a simple and easy question, but after thinking carefully for a long time, he opened his mouth and said——

"The simplest understanding is that this is something that can be used to buy things. Only when you have money can you buy things. Then, you must try your best to maintain a positive growth in the treasury's finances. You can't let the treasury be empty."

Connor nodded lightly, and said, "Your understanding is correct. However, the meaning of money can be understood from different angles."

Meng Lang leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Then, from another perspective, what is money?"

The teacher said slowly: "For people who have not received economics training, they always think that the more things like money, the better. It is best to have a home full of money. The words like being rich are like enemies. This kind of money reaches the highest level."

"However, for those of us who have been trained in economics, money is not always better under certain circumstances. Sometimes, we can't even claim that our financial situation is 'surplus' , and sometimes, the more 'arrears' we have in our accounts, the more reassuring we are."

Such a theory really made Meng Lang stunned for a moment. He squeezed his chin and thought hard for a moment, then shook his head and gave up and said, "Obviously, I can't understand it."

Connor bowed his head and said: "If my next explanation can make your Majesty understand, I hope that in the future, I can increase the financial investment in the Economics Department of Lao Tengshu College. Of course, this is just a request from a little teacher like me. It's not a threat."

After thinking for a while, Meng Lang said: "The economic situation of the empire is not very optimistic now. We need a large number of fighters and magicians. If your theory cannot convince me, then the old Tengshu Academy may also There is no need for an economics department."

This sentence, Meng Lang did not mean it.

Among Lao Tengshu's three major factions, the Economics Department has always been inferior to the Fighting Department and the Magic Department. Of course, he is very clear about this. It has always been like this, even since the establishment of the empire.The Department of Economics is just a place to train administrative personnel who are responsible for doing chores. All kinds of messy subjects can be thrown into this system as long as they do not help to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

To put it in a superficial way, the people trained in the economics department only need to learn basic arithmetic, which can help those knights and noble magicians know how much money they earn today, how many houses and fields they own .

However, after the appearance of the heresy Ariel Garcia in such a situation, Meng Lang's feeling for the Department of Economics is no longer contempt, but extremely important!

It's just that this kind of emphasis comes from being unable to control, from not understanding, and even more from the unknown.

People often have feelings of hatred for things they don't understand and can't control.If Menglang is facing a warrior or magician who is much stronger than himself, then he will find a way to become a stronger swordsman!

But after more than a year of confrontation with Ariel Garcia, he only felt that he didn't know where to use his strength when facing this terrifying enemy!

Such a person... What if another one emerges from the old Teng tree?

For an enemy that I don't understand at all, even if I become stronger, how can I deal with it?

Therefore, Meng Lang's first reaction was to immediately abolish the economics department of the entire Old Tengshu College, and turn this school into a specialized school for training powerful fighters and magicians from now on!

However, on the other hand...

He really longed to obtain such power.

It's just that those knowledge can no longer be taught to anyone casually as usual.

But only with his own consent, and with his own permission, some people who are absolutely loyal to him can learn this terrible knowledge... For this, he can even invest a very large amount of money.

It's just that now, Meng Lang must use such cruel words to make the teacher in front of him understand that his words are very important, so it's best to think clearly before speaking.

Connor's body trembled for a while, but then he calmed down and continued to say while thinking——

"Your Majesty, you should have heard me talk about the basic functions of money before. Although it is money, money itself is a kind of goods."

"In the ancient times, even more ancient than the War of Sealing Demons, if people want to get something, apart from using non-peaceful robbery and stealing, the peaceful way is bartering. form of what we later called 'trade'."

"Bartering is trade and economics. If the two parties to the transaction happen to own what the other party owns, and the two parties evaluate it and feel that it is fair and appropriate for both parties, they can exchange it."

"However, with the development of trade, simple bartering will become very inconvenient. It does not necessarily mean that the other party happens to have what you need. Under such circumstances, many people begin to acquiesce Certain 'things' have value that can be exchanged fairly for other people's goods. This kind of thing has a constant price and is useful to everyone, so there is such a thing as currency."

"After a long period of development, each country will mint its own currency, and then use the currency to trade and exchange to promote economic development."

"So, the essence of currency is a kind of goods, a kind of goods that everyone needs. However, in this way, another problem will arise-who stipulates that this kind of goods must be needed by everyone?"

"Your Majesty, to solve this problem, we need to discuss the country, your emperor, and the origin of the empire. But this will be too long-winded. Let's keep it simple and talk about the most important part."

"To put it simply, the empire uses its own power to endorse this currency. The empire recognizes the use of this currency by the people, which can be used to offset taxes from the empire. If this kind of goods is not used, the country will not recognize the other party. Taxes are paid. If other currencies are used, then the empire will consider it illegal and will even use force to expel it."

"Because of taxation, the folks have recognized that this kind of goods called currency is a legal currency that everyone will use. The fundamental reason is that the empire endorsed this currency."

"In other words, if this currency is no longer recognized or endorsed by the empire, no matter how much wealth you have accumulated, or whether you have piled up gold coins at home, you will become a pauper in an instant. Those Currency would be worthless, just some metal with no value.”

"Therefore, what a country...or a region really needs is often not necessarily a treasury full of gold coins. Because as long as the empire is willing to endorse a certain currency, and the people approve this endorsement, then even if The treasury of this empire is empty, the empire can continue to exist, and the economic system can continue to continue."

Hearing this, Meng Lang's face clearly showed some concepts that he didn't quite understand.He stretched out his hand to make Connor stop for a while, and he lowered his head to think. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Can you explain in more detail? I still don't understand. Anyway, I know Some history, my teacher once taught me when I was the crown prince, there are many reasons for the collapse and destruction of many empires in history, but no money will occupy a place among them. How... in Come on, it doesn’t matter if the country has no money? Does this sound counterintuitive?”

Connor smiled miserably, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, those of us who study economics often come up with a lot of counter-commonsense theories after learning."

"Yes, for ordinary people, having no money is certainly not a good thing. But you are not an ordinary person, and what you control is not the finances of an ordinary family, but a country, a great empire!"

"To put it more simply, even if you spend all the money in the entire empire today, buy a lot of useless antiques or rare toys, and make the treasury empty, then tomorrow, you only need to take Start with a piece of wood you pick up at random, and write [-] gold coins on the wood with a pen, then this piece of wood will immediately become [-] gold coins. You use this piece of wood to buy [-] gold coins, etc. You can still buy food at a lower price."
