496 New Position

"Therefore, in the future, the King's deputy in the Kingdom of Fontana will be Leon von Graham and the general will be Peter von Eindrad. Those on the Council and others are hoping to help them and boost the country. That concludes the Council."

When I said that out loud, the people who were on the council left the room discussing it with each other.

They are all fairly powerful people in the country, so they will have several parties and more informative exchanges in the city of Fontana this winter.

"Why are you looking so gloomy, Ars? What are you going to do? I can't believe you resigned all of a sudden."

"No, I was wondering if I could stop it if I told Leon."

"Naturally. You won't be able to agree to stop suddenly, will you?"

"But the people who came to the council were pretty happy, weren't they?

"... there might have been someone like that. You think I'm easier to deal with than Arus-sama."

"You just think it makes sense, don't you?

"Well, it's more common sense than Arus-sama. But there will be a way. Everything is too abrupt."

"Well, that's good. It came together well. Leon's more capable, so do your best."

"You're not thinking of just running away and resting, are you?

"No, that's not true. I didn't resign and become unemployed. I'll do what I have to do."

The council is over, so I thought I'd go home, and Leon caught me.

Well, I know Leon gets angry.

Everyone will be angry if they suddenly say so.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

The forthcoming trend in the kingdom of Fontana depends on Leon.

If you don't want to do it, you can push Leon against the others.

Of course, Leon wouldn't do that.

Once I worked so hard to rebuild the fallen Graham family, I climbed up to move the country instead of the king.

You won't get it off yourself.

By the way, when I resigned as Prime Minister and General, I was appointed Minister of Finance.

The best part of the job is to make good money at the Vulcan Bank.

Many of the members of the council didn't understand the importance of this, but it's actually quite important.

Because there are multiple currencies in the current Fontana kingdom.

Silver coins I made at the Vulcan Bank and other existing currencies.

It was a mixed situation, but it was a little more problematic than the Balkan silver.

There have been serious incidents in which several cities, including the Holy City, have turned money from city to city into salt due to [the light of judgment], so there is a concern about lack of money.

Lack of money in circulation will stagnate the economy.

If you want to buy a product but the money itself doesn't come around, you can't buy it even if you want to.

It could be the beginning of deflation.

Therefore, we must continue to generate and supply as much money as is necessary for society.

Surprisingly, most members of the council, a gathering of nobles and knights, did not understand this economical idea.

Perhaps the basic tax revenues have been wheat.

I wonder if there is no concept of money shortage per se.

So we need someone who is dedicated to it and who is economically responsible.

I think I'll do it now.

Incidentally, the first solution to this has already been activated.

That is the loan that Pope Paul owes to the top church.

I lent a large sum of money to the new Pope and to the Church, which had its headquarters in the Kingdom of Fontana.

Perhaps this would have been a demonic undertaking for Pope Paul who understood his position and looked at his feet.

However, it is correct that this is one of the measures to prevent deflation.

The money lent to Pope Paul is immediately spent.

Gathering bishops from around the world to Fontana in the position of temporary archbishop, and then reorganizing the organization to reconstruct the lost church pipe, costs money.

This means that large amounts of money are supplied to society through the church.

In fact, for me right now, the loan business itself is not that profitable.

Anyway, you can produce silver as a raw material at your disposal and monetize it.

You don't have to make money, you can make it.

I went out of my way to lend it to the church in order to give meaning to the money I had created.

But there are quite a few problems with this way of doing things.

One is the fluctuation in the value of silver itself.

I can make silver through the Tallow series, which is a white dog.

But in other words, silver is the same as any stone that can be made.

There was a danger of a collapse in the value of silver itself.

If silver loses its value, the barca silver itself loses its value.

When that happens, the banknote becomes the same as a piece of paper.

Alternatively, currencies other than silver will rise in price.

We must keep a close eye on the movement of the belly and act.

At the same time, the economy itself will have to be nurtured.

It is not enough for the powerful to take back wheat harvested by farmers forever.

We must surely grow economically, even if it is slow.

That's why I decided to turn myself into a finance minister from a job as prime minister and general.

I would never say no because I wanted to make things easier.

This is how the strongest finance minister was born in the Kingdom of Fontana.
