Duke of Herrington

Chapter 126 Ted with a face value of 50 yuan~
Outside Heishui City, as usual, a truck from Valentine unloaded a group of staff who came to recruit with missions.

For the smooth implementation of Tide's talent statistics plan, the staff recruited talents according to the jobs reserved in the form, and also recorded the job-seeking intentions and ideal salary levels of the residents in the city.

There will be some troubles in terms of job hunting intention, but the ideal level of treatment. There is no trouble at all, because the conditions given by Ted are a little higher than the ideal conditions that the citizens have come up with~
And this level is not decided by Ted, it is set according to the prices in the northern border!

These days, most people have found suitable jobs, but there are still some people who have not found jobs due to various reasons. The people Ted sent now are just picking up the missing ones.

There are about 22 vampires in Blackwater City, and their jobs have long been determined, either in politics or in the army, and they almost all obey the arrangement of the patriarch.

And the rest, those without jobs, are all human beings. Regarding the human subjects, Baron Tomato has no way to tell them that he has never believed in God, nor can he take the initiative to help them arrange jobs.
But as the saying goes, if you have someone more powerful than yourself, why not try to let him take the blame?Ted is perfect for being the one to be taken advantage of, and he's willing to do it!
So the Tomato Baron did not stop Ted's actions. After all, the value created by the recent wave of farming was a little more than the total tax revenue in the previous two years!
How about entrusting everything to Ted!

Money is more important than face and dignity!If the land and the people were lost to the Tomato Baron, they might not be able to develop this appearance in a few years, and when Ted came, the money in his pocket and the products all doubled several times. Not only that, the ancestors also All woke up!It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the grace of regeneration.

Because of this, they didn't care about Ted's 'nosy' actions, they just turned a blind eye and acquiesced.

The Sun God Sect also took the opportunity to start developing!Not only humans participated, but some vampires even joined in the fun.

Baron Tomato can control most of the vampires, but there are always a few who slip through the net, such as the newcomers Bruce and Martin, who are not registered.

Coupled with what happened not long ago, the remaining human leaders are also skeptical of this 'God'!
As for why they doubted, it was not because they really doubted, but because the "well-trained spies" sent by Ted began to create momentum in various places, instilling in the ears of humans in Blackwater City from morning till night. This 'God is dead' thinking.

It doesn't take long for such gossip to destroy a god, and it can destroy this trust in just one week!
Coupled with God's inaction since the war, everyone really thought he was dead, or corrupted!

at the same time
Ted brought the sun god and a lot of cheap meat pies to do business and marketing. He always distributed free turkey burgers to everyone in the name of the sun god, and then found someone who could speak well on the stage to give speeches on the stage. brainwash everyone
Later, everyone saw everything that happened on this plain, such as mechanical planting, and plants blooming and bearing fruit overnight. These "miracles" in the eyes of ordinary people were all credited by Ted pretending to be the sun god. .

Because of this, most people really believed in these made-up words and the god who didn't exist at all.

Under the city, the recruitment office.

Because the crisis in the city was lifted, the food ration plan was cancelled, and Bruce and Martin had no food to eat, so they had to find a job to support themselves.

As for Father Martin, because the church of the Imperial Church was closed, the vampires who pretended to be priests don’t need to continue pretending, and they packed their bags to grow the vampire family~
So. Martin has nowhere to go, and he once said that if there is an afterlife, he must not believe in God!
So, when he came back to life again, he planned to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.

Because they were quietly transformed into vampires, the two didn't know what happened. They only knew that the "pasta sauce" distributed by the "Sun God Cult" at the entrance of the city was very attractive to them.

You can also try it for free, and if you listen to the clergy's speech from beginning to end, you can bring two cans of pasta sauce back!

Ever since they had the first time, they became interested in this new god, just like the people around them, they were attracted by this god's powerful ability of 'sprinkling coins'!
Because these food, if you have to spend money to buy it, the two of them can't afford it at all, and now they are giving it away for nothing?Just this kind of ability can throw off two streets of God.

Before that, God would send people endlessly to collect money all over the empire, and the sun god not only didn't want a copper coin, but also gave you food for nothing?

In this way, the pattern was opened!
Besides, people nowadays are not so smart, they don't know that 'free is the most expensive'

As long as they are led by Ted, the value of this life will almost be taken away by Ted.

But even if they were led away, everyone didn't have the slightest will to resist, after all, no one would have trouble living with a good life.
If you are led away, you will have meat to eat and earn money. If you are not led away, you can only continue to wander.

Such conditions are no less than aliens coming to the earth and forcing humans to work eight hours a day, and spend the rest of the time eating, drinking and having fun!If you were a normal person, you would become a 'ground traitor' and choose to join the aliens.

There are not many options in front of you, and smart people know what to do!
Freedom has a price, it was never a right, it was a commodity!Sacrificing part of freedom in exchange for stability and prosperity is still a good deal!
The same is true for the residents in the city, anyway, they are all looking for work, no matter where they are!
Ever since, Martin and Bruce went hand in hand, together with other citizens or refugees, they came to the newly built 'talent market' to find a job.

"Hi, my name is Martin, this is my son Bruce, I am 50 years old, this kid is 18 years old. I can read and write. Is there any work on records? I plan to be with my son."

During this time, Martin recognized Bruce as his godson and taught him to read and write.

They have been together since they came to Heishui City. Whether it is moving around or eating, they have always acted like father and son, especially after they were reborn, the two became real father and son.

In this way, you can better conceal your identity and start your life again!
However, the luck of the two of them was not very good. The recorder who recruited the clerk had just left: "About the record work, the brother who recruited just now saw that there was no one in the city, so he went to the refugee camp. If you are in a hurry, you can go there Take a look, if you are not in a hurry, you can come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir."

"Wait! It should be easy for a polite and cultured gentleman like you to find a decent job, but I still want to say that the Sun God never treats his followers badly, and he is very powerful , Wude is abundant!"

Speaking of this, the staff did not forget Ted's order and stepped on God: "God can only feed 1000 people with a piece of bread! But the Sun God only needs a piece of land to solve all the hunger in the world!" Right now, the Sun God Sect is looking for someone as educated as you to be its godfather. If you have abandoned God, you might as well try to communicate with this god, and you can really see him.”

"Okay. Thanks for the reminder, I'll go and have a look."

Now that the recorder has left, he can only go to the recruitment office of the refugee camp over there.

Fortunately, the treatment is the same. Earl Herrington will not lower his salary or treatment because he is recruiting in a refugee camp. This is worthy of Martin's praise!
If this had happened a few years ago, then Father Martin would have personally consecrated a cross for him!Give him another thick stack of 'indulgence notes'!
For all people, the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will make them yearn for a better job and a better life.

If the sun god can really provide a better life, I believe he is not impossible~
Anyway, Martin just said 'do not believe in God', and did not say that he did not believe in other gods.

Right now, the two are forced to make ends meet. As a father, Martin must fulfill his father's responsibilities, so he plans to go to the Sun God Cult to have a look. If this god is real, it is not impossible to stay
Even if he is fake, he can come back and find another job.

What's more, in the current Heishui City, the land that originally belonged to the Pope, as well as the religious territory, were all taken back by Baron Tomato as usual.

In addition, he also demolished all these buildings, and then leased the land to Ted.

The day after the agreement was signed, this place became a market or a warehouse
Because according to the current strategic considerations, transforming these lands into shops and warehouses can maximize the benefits, and you can also sell the small commodities produced by industrialization in Valentine to everyone to earn extra money~
As for the original plan, the matter of doing business with Prince Steve's Chamber of Commerce has to be changed because everyone in the empire is dead!
However, it is not a bad thing to move the chamber of commerce and let these people who know how to do business help with business. Besides, I can also let them sell goods to other wealthy nobles!

This is not a conflict, and can even be done together~
According to the estimation of the data model, after such a toss, the population of the empire has dropped sharply. From the original hundreds of millions, there are only about 7000 million people left.
In addition to population, wealth is also taken away by the top.

If Ted intends to eat this batch of refugees, there will be no problem with food and water, but there will not be enough money for wages.
In order to maintain order, food cannot be used as a substitute for wages.

So we can only use the power of religion, first let them use love to generate electricity for a while, use the face of the sun god, and write IOUs first. Before they get dissatisfied, solve the money problem!

Currently, there are two ways to get money.

Either go out and grab it, or print it yourself!
As for the "grab" plan, the only thing I can think of for the time being is to go to the imperial warehouse to rob.
If you don't grab it, you can only develop your own currency.

Looking at it now, the materials for making currency are sufficient, but it is only hindered by technology.
But who is Ted, just a little technology, not worth mentioning!
The advanced currency printer sold by the 200 star coin system can solve everything!
And this machine, in order to reduce the possibility of being imitated, the material used to make currency is not cotton or paper, but plastic
Plastic coins are not only light and convenient, but also durable and waterproof
That is to say, in this world, except for Ted, there will be no creature capable of imitating the unique coins of the North
But for Ted, the way to make currency is much simpler.

Just specify the face value, draw a pattern on the back, and then draw your own head on the front, and you're done!
Input these into the currency printer, add the materials, turn on the power, and wait for the banknotes to be printed.

As for the name of the currency.
Just call him 'Tao Le~'

In the initial stage of currency issuance, let it be equated with gold, and let the common people exchange the gold and silver in their hands into coins. After a period of time, when everyone is familiar with coins, they will link it to oil~
Different from what happened on Earth, on Seablue Star and Nok Continent, after being bound to oil, the value of Dao Le can rise a little bit more!
After all, everyone can mine gold, and silver is not a rare thing!

But oil is different!Not everyone can handle this~
So in this period, oil is more expensive than gold!And the price can still be controlled by yourself!I said that the price of a barrel of oil is equal to ten kilograms of gold, so it is equal to ten kilograms of gold!
When the time comes, Ted can take advantage of this to make the concept of 'Duo Le' bundled with the future and advanced.

"The needle doesn't poke!"

At this time, Ted was sitting in the office, and a plan had been drawn up!

"Why don't you take this opportunity to own your own banknotes and your own financial system! In this way, you can also prevent outsiders from using gold coins to make trouble!"

Such an idea is also suitable~
After all, in the empire, the population has plummeted due to the harvest of wealth!On average, the wealth held by each person has multiplied countless times compared to before!
If a large amount of gold coins and silver coins flow into one's own territory, it will inevitably cause inflation!

At the same time, such an approach will also make the financial system vulnerable, and it will be controlled by capitalists with deep pockets.

Ted didn't want to see such a scene.
In order to prevent these things from happening and to take precautions, why not take the opportunity to make your own currency?

Before Ted's mind had made up his mind, he had already purchased such a set of equipment from the system~
At the same time, in the markets of Valentin and Heishui City, once the plastics with light weight and high strength were promoted, they were strongly sought after by the citizens!

Used in freight, these plastics effectively solve the problem of transportation costs!
After all, before this, everyone used clay pots or iron cans to transport goods. In a truckload of goods, the weight of the container alone accounted for half of the goods!This kind of business. The profit margin has been compressed a lot, and plastic has solved this problem perfectly!

If you take advantage of the trend and launch a plastic version of the exquisite currency, in the name of reducing weight, first treat it as a gold exchange voucher, and use Ted's own ability and reputation as a guarantee, at least it will not be a problem to promote it in the northern territory!
As for Baron Tomato's territory. He has his own 'Thor'!Spend some time, to promote it is not a problem!

In addition, Ted will also discuss with him. Regarding the issue of currency portraits, it is not difficult to print Baron Tomato's portrait, plus his eloquent mouth, to fool him into believing in him~
初期的货币面值，只有：0.05、0.1、0.25、1、2、5、10、20、50、100。

In order to concretize the value of the currency, Ted directly opened the record book and referred to the prices of Laomei in 1955. At that time, money was still relatively valuable, everyone had a lot of wages, and the happiness index was not bad~
It is better to move prices closer to that period.

In 1955, a McDonald's double hamburger was only 15 cents, plus a side of fries and a milkshake, it was only 25 cents
just!In the 'Makarov' fast food restaurant that Ted created a while ago, the most expensive double-layer beef burger in it only costs 15 copper coins, and the quantity is huge!

Using this 'Big Mac Index' to determine the value of commodities has at least a little basis, and it is not the kind of random pricing that is taken for granted~
"That's it! Let those who understand finance worry about it."

Just when Ted was about to pick up the folder in front of him to read the documents, Lilia and Chris returned to the office together to report on the agreement just now.

Chris originally thought that Lilia was just a vase and knew nothing, but after some communication, it seemed that Lilia was very smart, smart beyond his imagination!

After thinking about it, after all, she is a giant dragon. According to the information provided by Ted, the power of the brains of these big guys can reach up to 20kw, and this is not the limit.
Compared with the pitiful 20 watts of power of the human brain, the dragons are just unwilling to use their brains to turn their brains
Because it turns for 3 minutes at full power, the meal of the day is wasted.

Now, the agreement calibration with the tree people is completed and signed.

Chris also set aside a large piece of land for them on a plain outside the city.

And that ancient giant tree also has a specific location. In order to show the uniqueness of the northern border, it was arranged in the most conspicuous position.

It won't be long, it should soon become a tourist attraction~
Because the aura emanating from this tree, as well as the energy full of vitality, seem to be able to nourish all intelligent creatures!

As long as Lilia puts boogers in it regularly to keep this moist nourishment, it won't be a problem!
"Ahem. My lord, the agreement has been signed. I think Lilia is indeed excellent. I can be your secretary. Please take a look at the proposal on the table. I think it is necessary to put it on the agenda immediately, so I used the red clip. .”

Since it's an urgent matter, it's necessary for Ted to check it in front of Chris!However, before that, I have to find something for Lilia to do~
"Lilia, follow the manual and help me check the gray folder. It should be easy from this step."

"Well! I'm going right now!"

After instructing Lilia, Ted opened the red folder and took out the only document.
"About currency production and research and development. Suggested priority: 0!"

After a cursory look at the documents, Ted took out the currency sample provided by the system: "Chris, how about you take a look at this first?"

"This!" Chris thought Ted was joking, how could the proposal he just handed over be made out?

Seeing that Chris was shocked, Ted pretended to take out a whole set of stencils from the cabinet and put them on the table.
The content of the proposal was similar to what Ted had just thought.

It can't be said that the heroes see the same thing, it can only be said that everyone is not stupid, they are all aware of the difficulties in front of them, and they have also figured out what to deal with.

It's just that there is a genius in the think tank, and his proposal is exactly the same as the second choice I came up with.

But the suggestion he gave was to have both, not to choose~
And this suggestion is written below.

Ted saw this proposal and thought it could be done at the same time.
Currency reform belongs to one's own business, and robbing the royal family's gold is extra income!Not delaying each other, and Ted is just taking back what originally belonged to the people!

Although it cannot be distributed for free, it can only be regarded as salary
But none of this matters!

Ted put down the cup in his hand, picked up a pen and drew a circle on this suggestion: "Ahem, the last suggestion we can indeed consider, but definitely not now"

Of course Chris knows how to deal with the 'robbery' thing, that is, you have to take advantage of the chaos!
The best way is to wait for the royal family to seize the throne, steal money from several warehouses quietly, and then blame each other on them!Instead of robbing without thinking like such a reckless man now!
"Yes, my lord, let's talk about it when the time is right."

Ted nodded acquiescingly, pointed to the stool in front of him, and asked, "I'll talk about it later! Now, Chris! Help me find out the specific face value image of the currency!"

"No problem my lord!"

Chris has learned a lot of new things recently, and gradually understands that there are no ancient ruins in this world!
It is very likely that it is similar to the 'wormhole transmission' technology, which sends items from one end through the 'subspace orbit'!

As for where is the other end?Existing knowledge is not enough to solve the puzzle!
As for why Ted can get such advanced technological support?

It doesn't matter either!We are all in the same group, so this is not a concern.

In addition to Ted, there is one more thing that can be assured, that is, this 'other end' is not threatening or hostile to our side.

at least not yet
"My lord! But may I take the liberty to ask, you also got these advanced equipment from the 'Ancient Ruins'?"

"That's right." Ted spread his hands and responded casually.
As for where things come from, now is not the time to struggle!Self-development is the last word~
Chris took the template with a smile, and said the same words as Ted: "I said, my lord, do you want to print the scenery on the back and the head of the person on the front?"

"Oh?" Ted showed a look of surprise, he touched his chin and nodded, "Indeed, how do you know?"

"This is what I guessed, because if you want to use this artificially prescribed new currency to attack the original precious metal currency system, you must have a strong person or organization to take the lead."

In this regard, it seems that Chris understands better than Ted himself, so he made a gesture of invitation and asked Chris to continue: "Oh? Then do you have any ideas?"

Chris did not deny it. He spread out his notebook and took a pen to write down his thoughts: "I have already had some ideas. For example, I think Francis, the patriarch of the Ice Dragon Clan, can be arranged on the currency of 100 'Duo Le'. Because the actions we have taken recently are all carried out under their banner!"

"At the same time, in order to make the group of refugees and believers choose to believe in this currency, I think we can also add some pictures of the sun as elements of the Sun God Sect."

Ted had thought of this a long time ago, and he pointed to the anti-counterfeiting mark on the coin: "That's natural, you can rest assured about this, we will put the sun on the 'transparent identification' of the currency, every one has it! You can see through the light! Then the problem is all solved!"

This method is indeed very good. It not only retains the majesty of the sun god, but also maintains his important position: "If this is the case, then...do you have any thoughts on other face values, my lord?"

"There is no objection to the 100 face value for the Ice Dragon Clan, and the next is 50. I plan to print myself on the 50 face value, what do you think?"

Chris raised his hands in favor of this proposal: "I agree! Because this matter was proposed by you after all, and you, as the spokesperson of the Giant Dragon and the Nock Alliance, put it on the face value of 50, which couldn't be more appropriate. Next, 20 denominations"

The dragons have had enough face, and they have found a sense of presence, and then there are other important people: "I plan to open the 20 denominations to all the race patriarchs of the Nok Alliance"

Chris nodded and recorded this item: "This is easy to handle. The Fire Tribe enlarges the picture of Chief Phoenix and uses their altar on the back."

"The moon elves can use Vadina's picture, and the background is the starry sky"

Hearing this Sea King again, Ted opened his mouth to confirm again: "Wait. Vajna? Is she the patriarch of the Moon Elf now?"

"Well, yes, because she has excellent business and handling abilities, they elected her"

Ted smiled awkwardly, and then continued the previous topic: "Okay. On the human side, use your avatar"

"Mine?" Chris was flattered, pointing to his face excitedly: "Is it really possible?"

In order to prevent Chris from thinking that it was his gift, Ted quickly emphasized Chris's current status: "This is not a question of whether it is possible, but a question of necessity. By definition, you represent the human camp, so it is not yours. None other than, as for the scene on the back of the coin, it's up to you to decide!"

It is a great honor to appear on coins!On the current imperial gold coin, there is no one other than the emperor. Of course, Chris must be excited when he has this opportunity: "No problem! I will definitely come up with a qualified layout!"

Despite the excitement, the work still has to continue: "Ahem. Then the next page is the 10 Dole page. My lord, do you have any suitable ideas?"

In order to make citizens feel that they are also the future of the country, Ted intends to give the ten-dollar cover to those scientists: "I plan to give the ten-dollar page to those who have made indelible contributions to the development of the city."

Mentioning this, Chris gave a few examples: "For example, John who is in charge of weapons defense, and Thomas who is in charge of transportation."

Ted hesitated for a moment, he raised his hand to stop Chris's words: "This is too much, the initial page can only give up to three places, but you can continue to add more later! In short, the ten-yuan page is for the public , Let everyone vote and participate!"

"No problem! Then it will be five yuan."

There was really no one to choose, so Ted remembered the prince who had a very low sense of existence: "Give it to Steve, because for a long time, five yuan will be the currency that everyone uses the most, and it is also the main currency in circulation." big money"

"Okay sir, I've written it down, what about the two yuan?"

"I think about two yuan."

"How about? Two dollars for Baron Tomato?"

"No, he's a vampire, counted as an allied race, and he has to be made into 20 yuan"

"What about the 2 yuan? One dollar is also a problem, and those coins."

"One coin is very easy to handle! I don't plan to print anyone's head, mark it with the words of Nock Alliance, and let Da Vinci discuss it with Francis on the back."

"No problem, my lord! But the remaining 25 cents, 10 cents and 5 cents face value coins. Another problem! Why not? Leave these to the think tanks, let everyone think? Brainstorm?"

"That's it!"

If everything is unresolved, let the think tanks worry about it!
Anyway, my sense of existence has been settled!
The face value of 50 yuan will be more common than 100 yuan in the future~
"The needle doesn't poke!"

Just after processing the typesetting of some currencies, a telegram was sent.
"My lord, the refugee camp has already set off, and it is expected to arrive at the newly built breeding farm in two hours."

"That's good~ you guys do your work first, I'll take someone to fool them!"

"Wish you all the best~"
