Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 99 Copper Coin Nobility
Karin opened the car window to watch the scenery outside.

The carriage prepared by Mycroft was indeed a high-end product, and its shock absorption performance was very good. He didn't feel any bumps.

But Elena who was sitting opposite him curled her lips.

"Originally, the city government planned a railway line to pass near the Isaac Manor, and a station would be set up about two kilometers away, but it was abandoned because of the joint objections of the members of the carriage guild.

Otherwise, if we take a steam locomotive to the station and then walk, we can reach Isaac Manor in less than half an hour. "

Carlin shook his head after hearing this: "Whenever I see the city government announce the intercity railway plan in the newspaper, I know it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

The bosses behind those carriage shops are noble lords. In the kingdom's class pyramid, the nobles are the top existence. The wealthy merchants who are really rich and their companies have not closed down have already become nobles. "

Elena smiled and said after hearing this: "Don't be so absolute, there are also nobles behind the railway company, but these nobles are not as powerful as the old-fashioned nobles behind the carriage shop, you should have heard of the nickname copper coin nobles, right? "

Karin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, of course he knew about the copper coin aristocrats that Elena mentioned, or to put it another way-capital aristocrats, it is easy to understand the literal meaning.

It generally refers to some emerging nobles who have risen due to the development of steam technology and the continuous improvement of productivity, as well as old nobles who are aware of the future trend and take the initiative to transform.

However, they were collectively boycotted by the conservative nobles who had great doubts about new things, and they were nicknamed Copper Coin Nobles.

It means to satirize that these greedy noble merchants are completely in the eyes of money, and they are not willing to let go of even a copper penny.

For those old-fashioned nobles, Karin thinks that these guys will be really sweet sooner or later.

Because of his class, although he only has a little understanding of the political structure of the Kingdom of Brent, he is also aware of the general trend.

Even if the extraordinary of the current era is recovering, the development of steam technology will not be delayed, because July Sichen's "mobile foundry" symbolizes the process of industry.

The interpretation of the symbolic meanings of the other two ministers of the sage's path, "Crescent Moon" and "One-eyed Stone Man", also includes industrial power and industrial raw materials.

Moreover, industrial development will also bring great help to the extraordinary of the sage path.

If it is said that those who are strong on the path of the Holy Spirit or the Witch King are not necessarily knowledgeable scholars, then those who are strong on the path of the Sage must be excellent engineers.

After seeing the tip of the iceberg in Skaven, Karin knew that steam technology and transcendence were not two distinct things.

After thinking for a while, he asked Elena a question: "Do you know the attitude of the Brent royal family towards the copper coin nobles and steam technology?"

Elena glanced at Karin in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a keen eye. Of course, the Brent royal family supports the newly-emerged copper noble faction, because their extraordinary system is an alchemy profession."

"It can't be considered sharp, I just think that without the support of the royal family, Brent would not have become the birthplace and leader of the industrial revolution, but I am relieved after hearing your confirmation."

"Relax what?"

"In the future, you can invest in some emerging steam industries with confidence, at least you don't have to worry about losing money before Brent's death."

"Hey, we are riding in the carriage of the Kingdom Security Bureau, is it really okay for you to say this?"

"Hehe, I believe Mycroft won't mind."

"."

More than two hours later, as the day went down, the sky gradually darkened. Seeing that the new moon was about to rise, the two carriages stopped in a small town.

After getting out of the car, Karin felt that what he came to was not a manor, but a newly opened commercial department store.

On both sides of the front half of the street are shops with various signboards.

The second half is like a flea market, with various stalls specially arranged, waiting for the stall owners to set up stalls.

In the distance, Karin could vaguely see the outline of a castle.

At this time, some people on the street have already started to shuttle between the various shops, and most of these people are extraordinary people.

Elena looked here and there like a curious baby, and she also had a fresh feeling when she came here.

At this time, McCoff took Charlotte to the two of them and explained: "The Isaac Manor is a small town renovated on the basis of an abandoned manor.

The shops are all newly built and leased by many extraordinary organizations, and the small castle in the center of the manor has been renovated and used as a hotel to provide accommodation for visitors."

Karin and Elena listened with gusto. Isaac's manor didn't occupy a very large area. After the renovation on the original basis, now there is only this commercial street and that castle.

Maybe it will continue to expand after the number of extraordinary people increases in the future.

Most of the staff here are ordinary people, and this will gradually change as the process of spiritual recovery moves forward.

Karin looked at this commercial street and seemed to see the birth of a new commercial hub town.

There are not many people on the street now, and it seems a little deserted, but this is just the opening, and there will be more people in a while.

Transcendents from all nearby cities will come here to trade.

After introducing the two of them, Mycroft handed them another stack of papers and said, "This is a gold card issued by the Kingdom, and you can directly exchange it for precious metals at cost price here."

Karin took the card and looked at it. The handwriting and seal on it had a special spirituality. They were obviously printed with extraordinary pigments, and the anti-counterfeiting effect was excellent.

The function is similar to the food stamps in his previous life. They are used to exchange for various controlled precious metals, and they are still at cost prices, which are commonly used within the kingdom.

Mycroft is very generous. This stack of gold tickets includes seven controlled metals including spirit gold, mithril, and brass. If calculated according to the market price in Wayne City, the total amount of metals that can be exchanged for this stack of gold tickets is The price is 9000 pounds.

"You can stroll around now, and you can go to the castle to rest if you are tired. If you have anything to do, you can find the staff here. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you first."

After bidding farewell to the two, McCoff left with Charlotte and the two extraordinary members of the Security Bureau who were temporary part-time coachmen.

Looking at his back, Karin asked suspiciously: "Does the official staff here know us?"

Elena threw him a badge directly, and then she gave Karin her stack of gold tickets.

"If you have something to do, just show your badge. I'll give you my gold ticket too. The Ranger Association has no shortage of precious metals. I don't need to exchange them here. I'll go around for a while, and you can go shopping by yourself."

After speaking, Miss One Ear got into a shop excitedly.

Karin flipped the badge in his hand. It seems that this time he was favored by the other party. As the cousin of the Kingdom Security Bureau Chief, it is definitely impossible to be treated the same as the wild transcendent.

After thinking for a while, Karin went directly to the management office located in the first half of the street, and showed the badge and metal exchange coupon to the receptionist.

"My name is Karin, exchange 300 grams of Spirit Gold, 800 grams of Mithril, and 2000 grams of Brass.
Get it now, the sooner the better. "

He thought it would be safer to hold these precious metals directly in his hands.

The receptionist looked at the badge carefully, then immediately took the golden ticket and counted the amount.

"It's an honor to serve you. You can go to the castle warehouse to pick up your goods at any time, as long as you show this pick-up slip."
