Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor.

Chapter 88 Pocket Empire - Gardiner
At this time, the emperor interjected: "There is a way to prevent counterfeiting, that is to stamp my psychic mark on the banknotes, and psychics can be used as banknote detectors."

"Psychic energy?" Said wondered: "Will the psionic energy not dissipate?"

At this time, Malcador explained with a smile: "Your Majesty's psychic power is special, not only will it not dissipate, but it can also get rid of unclean things!"

Said curled his lips and said in his heart: "This is all divine power, and you still say that you are not a god!"

Unlike the impression that money has entered thousands of households, the imperial currency is only circulated at the upper level, and is used for interstellar business and trade. The main users of currency are planetary governors, rogue traders, merchant fleets, etc., and there is no shortage of psychic people around them.

The middle class may use it a little, and the nest gangs may use it to improve their weapons, but in general, the currency users do not lack the ability to detect banknotes.

Therefore, the three happily decided to issue a unified currency, followed by the most sensitive issue: who will lead the currency issuance?
The Prime Minister's faction in the Ministry of the Interior?Or the Princely Party or the Imperial Pravda?
Among them, the Prince faction and the Imperial Truth Party overlap to a considerable extent. The Prince faction is all members of the Truth Party, but the Truth Party is not all Prince faction.

The Prince faction has more personal allegiance factors, because Said joined the Truth Party, the Prince faction believes in the Truth Party, and the position depends on Said’s will.

But in any case, once the Truth Party and the Prince faction control currency issuance, Said's power will be expanded rapidly, and the Prime Minister faction is of course not happy.

The emperor didn't bother to listen to the two talking, as long as the efficiency of the expedition was not hindered, there was no need for him to interfere.

And if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Proper conflict can help promote understanding and improve friendship, so the emperor walked away wisely and left the battlefield to the two.

Saeed and Malcado looked at each other, and their eyes fired at each other. Said said, "Master Ma, I hope the Truth Party will be in charge of currency issuance!"

Malcador smiled strangely: "It just so happens that I want the Ministry of the Interior to control currency issuance!"

Said shook his head and said: "The Ministry of the Interior is a tax agency, and if it controls currency issuance, it will lose control and supervision, which is not conducive to the empire."

In the 3k era, the currency issuing department is independent of the government, one is in charge of taxation, the other is in charge of printing money, mutual restraint and mutual supervision.

Of course Malcador understands this truth, but how can there be too much power? He still tries his best to fight for it:

"The members of the Truth Party are all over the Primarch Legion. If you control the issuance of currency, you will lack supervision. If the army touches the currency, it will become a warlord, and the consequences will be even more serious!"

Said shook his head and said: "Warlords are always better than your civil servants, at least they won't rebel everywhere. I investigated your tax collection situation, it's really bad!"

"Mortal people are born with inferiority and greed. Ma Xiang, you must understand this truth! I don't feel relieved to hand over the currency to the mortal elites of the Ministry of the Interior!"

Malcador nodded: "Then I will take a step back and set up a currency issuance department controlled by the prince's faction, but it must be under the name of the Ministry of the Interior!"

"In addition, I hope His Royal Highness understands one thing. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the truth of the empire, but the prime minister must be led by someone."

Said was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Malcador continued: "The Truth Party advocates superhuman politics, and superhumans lead mortals, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of mortal elites. As the institution with the most mortals, the Ministry of the Interior will inevitably become a stronghold of dissidents."

Said looked at the ground and said expressionlessly: "You mean, the Prime Minister faction advocates mortal politics, and you are the leader to control them?"

Malcador nodded: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, in His Majesty's plan, superhuman politics and mortal politics constitute the relationship between the present and the future."

"In the human race, ninety-nine percent are mortals. It can be said that mortals are the main body of human beings. After the dust of the galaxy settles, power will return to mortals."

"Based on this, we cannot eradicate mortal political factions. If I don't represent them, someone else will represent them, and the struggle will become uncontrollable."

Said probably understood what Malcador meant, and asked, "You mean, the recent factional struggle against the prince's faction is a necessary measure to maintain unity?"

Malcador nodded: "That's right, if the Prime Minister faction has a tendency, I should belong to the moderate faction, who can control the struggle within an orderly range and avoid civil war in the empire."

"If the radicals control it, the methods will be far more intense than they are now, and more contradictions will be intensified."

Saeed was not satisfied with this explanation: "Does your so-called orderly struggle use inefficient taxation to force the anti-imperial world?"

Malcador readily admitted, nodded and said:

"Yes, it is because of the rebellion that the monetary policy can be implemented, and the monetary policy is handed over to the prince's faction, otherwise I will not be able to persuade the prime minister's faction."

Said sighed, accepting Malcador's argument, and calmly said: "In this case, you should accept puppet supervision and work hard to manage the empire's taxation well, and stop intensifying conflicts!"

The two reached an agreement and bid farewell with a handshake. Both are for the great rejuvenation of mankind and have no personal selfishness. Even if there is a disagreement, it is also a line struggle, and there is no need to be in the same boat.

After finishing the work, Said reported to the emperor the work arrangement of the currency issuance. The emperor nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then asked, "What is the progress of the Blackstone expedition?"

Said replied: "Starting from the Eye of Terror and the Great Whirlpool, we expanded along the Great Rift, and two-thirds of it has been completed so far!"

"Star bases have been set up in all the galaxies along the way, part of the hazy star field of the Great Rift has been cleared, and half of the limit star field has been cleared."

"It is estimated that within ten years, the entire Great Rift will be under control!"

Saeed is not bragging, as the construction of the occupied area spreads out, and the Bingmu World Cup is established one by one, the Great Rift has the ability to produce blood, and continues to expand the scale of the expedition fleet.

It can be said that the Blackstone Expeditionary Fleet became stronger and stronger, and eventually filled the entire Great Rift!

The emperor asked again: "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Although the emperor can share perception with Said, it will consume computing power. While commanding the Great Crusade, he presides over the construction of the network road, and cannot pay attention to Said all the time.

Said smiled and shook his head: "Basically not. The obscuring star field is mainly humans or aliens corrupted by chaos. Most of them have no space power. Just throw the extinction order."

"In the extreme star field, especially near the maelstrom, the enemies are mainly alien bandits and pirates. As long as there are enough fleets and soldiers, they can be easily dealt with."

The Emperor asked again: "Are there any human forces that submit to the Empire?"

Said nodded: "I encountered several feudal worlds before, and after eliminating the pollution of chaos, all of them were transformed into military worlds. Now I have encountered a pocket empire and are negotiating."

The pocket empire refers to an empire that has just ascended to the sky and can colonize the star system, but cannot travel faster than the speed of light. The scope of its activities is limited to the star system.

The emperor was surprised: "Negotiation? It means that you think this pocket empire is very tricky! Show me the information."

Saeed smiled helplessly, apparently being told by the emperor, and then sent the information, the emperor was immediately attracted by a name: Gardinal!

　Gardiner was Xiaoqiang during the Great Crusade, and then Yelang challenged the empire and was crushed by the empire

　　It is worth mentioning that his system is a bit like the future empire, almost a pocket empire
