Old Linman stood in front of the counter window but did not leave, staring at the gold coin in his hand in a daze.
One is that he can really withdraw the money, which relieves him a lot, and the other is on this brand new gold coin.
This is a golden dragon that Old Linman has never seen before. Its front is still the coat of arms of the three-headed fire dragon of the Targaryen family, and on the back of this golden dragon is depicted a silver-haired young man wearing a crown. The profile of the person is heroic.
"This is..."
Old Linman hesitated a little while holding the golden dragon. With his years of experience in business, he didn't need to touch it. He knew the gold coin was real by just looking at it.
However, he has done business in Junlin for so many years, but he has never seen this golden dragon.
But the lady at the counter of the Empire Bank immediately solved his doubts.
"This is the new money that the Empire is preparing to issue."
"You should be able to tell if this is true or not."
Old Linman hesitated for a while and touched it with his hand again, and then nodded slightly. This was indeed a real piece of money, he could confirm it, but he did not expect that his Majesty would issue a batch of new money.
After weighing the weight, it seemed that they were similar. Then, unable to spot any problems, the old Linman still put the ten new money away in doubt.
But if you think about it, it is not surprising. Your Majesty has already changed the country name to Valyria and held a resolution to rebuild Valyria. As he became the emperor, a series of changes will naturally be made.
Although the old Linman did not understand what economics is, it is not uncommon for the ruler of the Iron Throne to issue some new money. Damon Blackfire, Iris I, Darren II, Aegon IV, etc. have all issued them. Own coins.
In addition to the various coins used by the seven countries before the conquest of the war three hundred years ago, and the pencils carried by the customers of the free trade city-states, the money circulating throughout the seven countries is very mixed, and there are all kinds of money.
The golden dragon, the silver moon, the silver deer, the bronze star, the copper wheat, the half copper wheat, the copper coins and the copper plates, etc., are too many.
When doing transactions, merchants will also flexibly adjust the price according to the type of coin paid by the customer. Some gold coins are not high in gold content, and some are valuable. It also needs to consider the comprehensive exchange rate, which is too troublesome.
Therefore, unifying the money market and regulating the circulation of coins are also one of the tasks assigned to the Chancellor of the Exchequer by Veserys.
Since Illyrio came to King's Landing from Pantos, there has not been a day of free time. Every day I am busy to run the construction of the bank, run to the three mints of King's Landing, and also need to go to the port of Blackwater Bay, the customs department, and taxation. Department and so on.
Therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Illyrio does not often attend the Imperial Council, and his work is often vacant, including the Minister of War Kago, who is now far across the narrow sea.
Kago's military literacy is actually not high, and he has rich combat experience, but he lacks knowledge and can only command cavalry.
Veserys originally gave Kargo the minister of war only to better accept the loyalty of the Dothraki people. It is not really necessary to refer to Kargo's wise advice to do a good job of the "True Dragon Kao's whip", otherwise the Iron Throne is now It has long since declared war and plundered everywhere.
"Brother Vilas, you are finally here."
There are three royal mints in King's Landing City. Minting coins is the exclusive power of the few kings. The other nobles of the Seven Kingdoms do not have such power.
As the chief economic adviser of His Majesty the Emperor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is in charge of a large number of government officials, including the revenue and expenditure of the royal family and the treasury, the payment of taxes and duties, and external loans, including these three local mints.
Many of the mint's oils and waters are simply filled with oil. The three Mint directors of Robert Baratheon's period are also blowing cold wind on the Great Wall, and the newly replaced plant directors naturally dare not make mistakes in a short period of time. And here as the royal family's industry is also guarded by the Unsullied Legion of the royal family's exclusive guard.
The mint used to be corrupt and chaotic during the time of King Robert, but the desire that the Legion of Unsullied rejected made it harder to persuade them to participate. Therefore, the mint in the new dynasty is relatively clean.
And recently they took on a new task, which is to recycle a large amount of old coins and then recast them into new coins. Now they are very busy.
And now Velas Tyrell settled the matter of Old Linman, and then set off to the Royal Mint in King's Landing City. At this moment, Minister of Finance Illyrio had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Illio."
Velas walked into the hot furnace room with a cane, and then saw a fat Pantos with blond hair and a split beard. He nodded politely, but in exchange for the other party's laughter.
"Come on, brother."
"Come with me, I will show you here."
Although Illyrio later earned a lot of money from businesses such as spices, gems, and keels, and eventually became a wealthy merchant governor of Pantos, he was essentially a mercenary and thief, and he later also worked as a mercenary and thief. There are quite a few shady deals.
He was respectful when he saw Viselis, but in private is also a bold temper, but no one knows how many smiles are hidden in this smile. If you believe in Illyrio, you may be miserable. .
Although Jon Clinton was sent under the fence at the beginning, he could not say how much he liked and trusted Illyrio.
If the other party hadn't really played a vital help when His Majesty got up, Jon Clinton would have long wanted to take the opponent down.
Although Vilas was young, he did understand the rules between nobles. Illyrio seemed to be close to him, but Vilas was not stunned. He still maintained a suitable distance, not too close. Don't deny people thousands of miles.
Illyrio's family business is in Pantos, and his closeness with Vilas is mainly to use the Tyrell family relationship and connections for his own benefit. After all, he is not in his hometown now.
People like them have no unfounded intimacy, nor unfounded disgust, everything is in the most fundamental interest.
"Brother, come and see."
"Do you know how this new money was made?"
The fat Pantos walked into the workshop, surrounded by clanging hammers, and the craftsmen kept swinging their hammers in a hot and dull environment, sweating like rain.
Before there were roller presses, rocker presses and other machinery, coins were knocked out with one hammer and one hammer.
At this moment, Illyrio was holding a brand-new golden dragon in his hand, then turned his head and laughed twice~www.mtlnovel.com~ and continued to ask.
"Do you know how much profit you have to make this golden dragon?"
And Vilas thought slightly, then shook his head to tell the truth.
"do not know."
"My lord, please clarify."
Although he has read many books, he never brought a soldier in the High Court before he was surrounded by the Dorne.
Similarly, before Vilas came to King's Landing, he didn't know the lives of the people at the bottom, including many seemingly basic common sense.
He knew countless kinds of coins from ancient times, including trading city-states, knew their origins, knew their history, but didn't know how they were made.
