1086 The movement of the great powers

Master Alphonse, would you mind a moment?

"What's the matter, Lord Banage?"Did something happen? "

Banage came to me, who was working on all kinds of things.

It seems that there is something to report.

But there was impatience on his face.

I wonder what's wrong with it.

"Actually, I'm afraid something a little bad might happen."The lazy will be leaving the Orient country for a while. "

"Is that a bad thing? Are you going somewhere?"

“That's right. Between this winter and next year, the lame will move to explore the land of Soma.”

"Soma, what country is it? Are you saying that there is some movement in the Christian country?"

"I don't know yet." So I had to look into it.However, I think it is necessary to send people in addition to the clumsy ones to look at the magic country and the Empire.It is possible that this group of small countries will involve large countries. "

It seems that Banage is heading for the country of Soma.

But he insisted that it was important to keep an eye out not only on the Catholic world, but also on other big countries.

Apparently, there is a possibility that these small countries will intervene in some way.

"... perhaps about the shortage of coins?"

"That's right, Master Alphonse."You know how many of these small countries use coins issued by the three powers?And now, the coins of the three countries are all aligned and reduced in number.Each country is reacting to this. "

I see.

Things may be more serious than I thought.

I also made a brand new coin called En with Ai.

En is not a coin and is not real money that is issued with silver as collateral.

Still, money is money.

I have to think about the money that we made ourselves.

It was a question of how much money would flow out of the country.

For example, if all of our enemies end up in a foreign country, we'll be in trouble.

There is a shortage of entrances in the country, which means that we cannot spend our own money in our own country.

Therefore, it is best not to take out too many of the issued entrances as much as possible.

Especially in the current situation where silver holdings are at least low and not many entries can be issued.

But it will be the same for the great powers.

We have no choice but to move our money abroad to some extent.

That's why, until now, even in small groups of countries, coins from those countries have been in circulation and can be used.

But we had a big problem here.

That means the money flowing out of the country is physically extinguished.

Well, whatever you think, it's the Orient.

I collected the iron goods that I had before, and turned them into silver by the silver alchemy technique of El-chan and the others.

In other words, the iron cargo issued by the great powers has disappeared.

And next, the silver coins are gone.

This is also the result of our collecting silver coins after we paid them.

The silver you collect will not be returned to the market to be kept as collateral for the issuance of the EN.

In other words, silver coins are also disappearing.

As a result, a small country that fell into a currency shortage and became overwhelmed with debt due to the collapse of the magic equipment market, but in some countries there was a move to replenish the lost currency.

Replenishing, that is, getting it from the outside.

It is an import of coins from a great power.

I don't know what you're paying for the lost coins, but it seems that some money is flowing in.

That means that the money of the big powers will be transferred to even smaller groups of countries.

That way, the coins in the great powers will be reduced more than ever.

Coins cannot be increased immediately.

This is the same in every country.

Made with gold, silver, and other metals, using the right mix of forgery-proof technology to build a nation's reputation.

No country will remain silent about the current situation, which is lost from home.

Why is money so much reduced in a place called a small group of countries?

It is natural to wonder.

And there's no way I'm going to leave you alone.

I'm sure we'll have to look into this matter thoroughly first.

Find out why the currencies of the big powers have declined, and move to solve the problem.

It seems that the most influential thing Banage said was the country of Soma.

Therefore, because it is the Christian countries that are looking at the smallest group of countries among the big countries, they will move to explore their movements.

How will the Christian nation move?

Judging from the size of the economy over there, it seems that the amount of coins in circulation in small countries is not that large.

Even if the cause is investigated, can it be found out immediately?

The shortage of coins occurred simultaneously and sporadically in various small countries, so I think it will take some time to investigate.

But eventually, we'll end up in the Orient.

It can't be helped.

Did you say Lassen or something?

Let's see if we can use the man who caused the coin shortage to buy time.

Right now, it is troublesome for a large country to intervene in a group of small countries, so I decided to prepare a substitute and think about whether I could get the time.
