Chapter 691

Old linman stood in front of the counter window, but he didn't leave. He looked at the gold coins in his hand.

First, he was relieved to be able to withdraw money, and second, on this brand-new gold coin.

This is a kind of golden dragon that old Liman has never seen before. Its front is still the emblem of three fire Dragons of the tangorian family, and on the back of this golden dragon is the side face of a silver haired young man wearing a crown.

"This is..."

Lao linman hesitated slightly with the gold dragon. With his many years of business experience, he didn't need to touch it. He knew that the gold coin was true at a glance.

However, he has done business in Junlin for so many years, but he has never seen this golden dragon.

But the lady at the imperial bank counter solved his doubts.

"This is the new money the empire is going to issue."

"You should be able to see whether this is true or false."

Old linman hesitated, touched it with his hand again, and then nodded slightly. This is really a real money. He can confirm it, but he didn't expect his majesty to issue a batch of new money.

After weighing the weight, it seemed that there was not much difference. Then he couldn't find anything wrong. Old linman still put the ten new money away.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. Your majesty has changed the country's name to Valeria and held a resolution to rebuild Valeria. Naturally, a series of changes have to be made to ascend the throne for the sake of the emperor.

Although old linman did not know what economics was, it was not uncommon for the ruler of the iron throne to issue some new money. Damon heihuo, iris I, Darren II, AEGON IV and so on all issued their own coins.

In addition to the various coins used by the seven countries before the war of Conquest 300 years ago and the pencils carried by the customers of the free trade city states, the money circulating up and down the whole seven countries is very mixed, and there are all kinds of money.

Golden Dragon, silver moon, silver deer, copper star, copper wheat, half copper wheat, copper coins and copper plates, etc. there are too many.

When doing transactions, businesses will also flexibly adjust the price according to the types of coins paid by customers. Some gold coins are not high in gold content, while others are valuable. It is too troublesome to consider the comprehensive exchange rate.

Therefore, unifying the money market and regulating the circulation of coins is also one of the tasks entrusted by wesselis to the chancellor of the exchequer.

Since illyrio came to King's landing from pantos, he has not had a free day. He is busy every day to run the construction of banks, the three mints in King's landing, the port of Blackwater Bay, the Customs Department, the tax department and so on.

Therefore, the chancellor of the exchequer illyrio does not often attend the Royal parliament, and his actions are often vacant, including the war minister cago, who is now far across the narrow sea.

In fact, Kago's military literacy is not very high. He has rich combat experience, but he is very lack of knowledge and can only command cavalry.

Wesselis gave Kago the post of war minister in order to better accept the loyalty of the doslak people. To do a good job of "the whip of the real dragon Kao" does not really need to refer to Kago's wise suggestions, otherwise the iron throne would have begun to declare war and plunder everywhere.

...

"Brother villas, you're here at last."

There are three Royal mints in Junlin city. Coining coins is the exclusive power of a few kings, and other nobles in the seven countries do not have such power.

As his Majesty's chief economic adviser, 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, foreign loans, including the three local mints.

The mint is full of oil and water. The directors of the three Mint in the period of Robert baratheon are also blowing a cold wind on the Great Wall, while the newly replaced Mint naturally dare not do so in a short time. As a royal industry, it is also guarded by the dirt free legion of the Royal exclusive guard.

In the reign of King Robert, the Mint was corrupt and chaotic, but it was even more difficult for the clean Legion to abandon their desire and persuade them to participate. Therefore, the mint of the new dynasty is still relatively clean.

And recently they have taken on a new task, that is, to recycle a large number of old coins and then recast them into new coins. Now they are very busy.

Now villas Tyrell settled the matter of old linman, and then set off to the Royal Mint in King's landing. At the moment, the chancellor of the exchequer, illyrio, had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord illyrio."

Veras walked into the hot furnace room with a crutch, and then saw the fat pantos with blond hair and forked beard. He nodded politely, but in exchange for each other's laughter.

"Come on, brother."

"Come with me and I'll show you here."

Although illyrio made a lot of money from spices, gemstones and keels, and finally became a rich merchant governor of pantos, he was essentially a mercenary and thief, and later he also did a lot of business.

When he saw wesselis, he was respectful, but privately he was also a forthright temperament. However, no one knew how many swords were hidden in the smile. If he believed in illio, he might be badly hurt.

Although Jon Clinton had placed his trust in others at the beginning, he could not say how much he liked and trusted illileo.

Jon Clinton would have wanted to take him down if he hadn't really helped his majesty when he started.

Although villas was young, he did understand the rules between nobles. Illyrio seemed to be close to him, but villas was not dazzled and kept a suitable distance, but he was not close to others.

Illyrio's family business is in pantos. He is close to villas. He mainly wants to make profits for himself with the help of Tyrell family relations and contacts. After all, he is not in his hometown now.

They have no unexplained closeness, no unexplained disgust, and everything is in the most fundamental interests.

"Brother, come and see."

"Do you know how this new coin was forged?"

The fat pantos walked into the workshop, surrounded by the sound of hammers, and the craftsmen sweated and waved hammers in the hot and dreary environment.

Before there was no roller press, rocker press and other machinery, coins were knocked out by hammer.

At the moment, illyrio took a brand-new Golden Dragon in his hand, turned his head, smiled twice, and continued to ask.

"Do you know how much profit there is in making this golden dragon?"

Veras thought a little, then shook his head and told the truth.

"I don't know."

"Please solve your doubts."

Although he read a lot, he didn't bring a soldier before Gaoting was surrounded by many benefactors.

Similarly, before villas came to King's landing, he did not know the life of the bottom people, including many seemingly basic common sense.

He knew countless kinds of coins from ancient to modern, including trading city states, knew their origin and history, but he didn't know how they were made.
