Before ascending to God, be a good lord

"Duke Lant? You are really busy! I think there are not many nobles in the entire empire who can catch up with you running around!"

In the forest walker's palace, the incarnation of the God Emperor, Alexei Zhuoqin, stood under the statue at the end of the temple. Next to him was the owner of the statue, the wood elf Halkara.

"Did you know? The nobles in the south are now spreading rumors that your war with the orcs last month was entirely staged for the empire. Now you and the orcs are as close as one family!"

"Your Majesty, what you said is not accurate!" In addition to the wood elf, Alexei also sat next to a big cat, Katarina. She added with a smile, "I basically live in Yeqi now. We are a city, how can we say we are like a family? We are a family."

Alexey was amused by the big cat: "Oh, if Lady Katerina's words are heard by the Great Council, I'm afraid you, the Duke, will be gone!"

"Your Majesty, this war has paid 200 million gold coins in cash for the royal family, and brought 50 titles to your descendants. Why don't you find time to experience the fighting power of your high-level descendants?" Lan Pointing specifically at Catalina, "It's rare to be able to beat her."

"Oh, those descendants of mine..." The God Emperor also knew that the royal family benefited the most from the war. In fact, his complaints just now had no confidence, so he quickly changed the topic to his descendants who were not living up to expectations. He looked like a bastard. The king who founded the country saw with his own eyes the expression of the king who destroyed his country,

"When Galadriel and I got married, I thought that our descendants would be able to charge forward and protect the empire during wars in the future. However, these grandsons were not even watched by Meng Qiya's little muntjac. …”

"Just be content, at least your descendants are all here, and mine are basically gone!" Halkara complained.

Alexey waved his hand: "So, Rand, you have to hurry up. With so many girls around, don't keep playing in the mud in the orc territory."

"Your Majesty, you came here just to induce pregnancy, right?" Lant said with a smile, "At the banquet of several princes at the beginning of the month, you have already been urging me all night. There is no need to chase after me to urge you, right?"

Alexey waved his hand: "I'm here to remind you that the first batch of magic furnace coupons related to you from the Department of Finance have been printed. At least 50 families have prepared 700 million gold coins and 300 million gold coins for various shares. prove."

Good guy, the financial situation of our empire is really terrible. 200 million gold coins are worth the death of the emperor, and 1000 million gold coins are worth the death of the God Emperor. Lant complained in his heart, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, if the current Department of Finance is allowed to manage this... 1000 million gold coins, I’m afraid the empire won’t have 300 million left, right?”

"They don't just want millions of gold coins, they want control of the entire empire's magic furnace." The God Emperor said with an unknown tone in his voice, "Magic furnace caster? Are you going to give control of the magic furnace to them?"

Lant said solemnly: "Your Majesty, when the goddess of wealth discussed with me before, it was not clear who would be responsible for the new magic furnace in the empire and the currency generated therefrom.

As the Royal Assistant Financial Officer, I sincerely believe that the empire should have an overall economic and financial policy, and the Finance Department should be the department that implements this policy. However, after several contacts, I am afraid that the Finance Department has a unique understanding of its own positioning. and planning? "

"That's really polite. If you just say that they can't lose their tail and bring disaster to the country and the people, why don't you just end it?" The God-Emperor complained, "Aren't you a barbarian? Why do you speak more eloquently than Han Fei?"

"Uh... Well, let's put it another way. If we completely solve the problem of the Department of Finance..." Seeing the God Emperor and Halkara looking at him expectantly, Lant said hesitantly, "For example, if I Set up an interstellar mining circle around the Finance Department, causing an asteroid to hit it." Alexei pretended to be shocked and said: "Tsk tsk... your solution is a bit useless."

"Well, in comparison, I also think that we should curse all the people inside at once and then exile them all." Lant calculated in his mind, "In this case, most of the bureaucratic positions in Galloping Horse Kingdom should be solved."

"Can we say something useful?"

Seeing that the God-Emperor was looking at him in a wrong way, Lant simply expressed his true thoughts: "If you don't agree with these two items, then please allow me to use the name of the magic furnace caster to cast all the magic furnaces." The control room issued a notice to suspend all financing related to the magic furnace."

The God-Emperor did not change his expression, but simply asked: "Then what?"

"If the imperial family wants to fully control the currency issued for the new magic furnace, it should first clarify the responsible party and management party for a series of tasks such as the casting, installation, subsequent energy allocation, and maintenance of the magic furnace. Secondly, the currency issuance should be split and the ministries that formulate economic policy.”

In order to answer today, Lant even went to the station to read several economics books and read various books on currency, finance, taxation and national debt. Although it was just a superficial glimpse, the economic structure of his hometown was Probably still able to tell.

"As far as the current installation of magic furnaces is concerned, I suggest that the royal family establish a fund to pay for the construction and installation costs of all magic furnaces, so that the 'ownership' of the magic furnace changes from the Salt and Iron Company or the magic furnace caster to Become a royal family, and then set up a special department to manage and maintain all magic furnaces.

After the Finance Department was split, the central bank that issued currency put currency into the market based on data from the Magic Cauldron Management Department, while the remaining management departments were in charge of financial and economic policies. "This is not only Lant's suggestion, but also his implementation plan for a series of arrangements to establish the Galloping Horse Kingdom. "Based on the fact that a magic furnace installed in a new area can bring 250 million new dollars, the magic furnace installed in the southeast and northeast regions in the future will , can create wealth of nearly 2000 million gold coins. "

The conversation between Lant and the God-Emperor did not shy away from the wood elf Halkara and the big cat Catalina. After all, these two relied on their servants to control how many gold coins they had in their names. As for the issuance of currency and the loss of magic power, Matching, they have never heard of it.

"Your Majesty, after you have said so much, it sounds like there will be a lot of extra gold coins, right?" Catalina suddenly asked, "But with so many gold coins, is there really no problem? Do I know how to make money? There are more, but the things are also more expensive?”

"Yes, so I object to issuing too many magic furnace coupons at one time for financing. Instead, I suggest that the issuance volume corresponds to the amount of new goods." Lant looked at the God Emperor and said with some embarrassment, "With my limited time, Financial and economic knowledge can only give you this little advice.”

"It sounds like that's the case," the God Emperor showed a satisfied expression after hearing this.Regarding this fellow countryman, the Emperor also knew that he was not an economic expert, but only had a very simple economic philosophy.

But after the plan is finished, how to implement it is another question: "But there are so many people in the Finance Department, how do you plan to persuade them?"

"Can you let the Knights of the Imperial City come to persuade them?" Lant understood that it was impossible for the Department of Finance to reduce its own authority. If it wanted to reduce its power, it would have to rely on the powerful department.

The God Emperor also sighed: "Well, there is a way. If we can't persuade him, we can only find the violent machine on the Red Dragon Rock."
