Chapter 61 (2)

Although everything started with the lord's mistake and he understood it well enough, the overseer couldn't back down easily.

He couldn't easily give up his gold coins tied to the Gold certificates just because the lord made a mistake.

To put it simply, it was unfair.

"So what are we supposed to do with this?"

As the overseer showed his Gold certificates and protested with a small but strong voice, Rockefeller began to speak with an indifferent expression.

"Those Gold certificates are, in principle, not our responsibility to exchange for gold coins."Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

"What do you mean? You've been exchanging them just fine until now, and suddenly you say it's not possible?"

Rockefeller shook his head as if to show off.

"Look at the content written on it. The Gold promissory notes were issued with the collateral of the excessive promissory notes issued by the lord in the first place. In other words, it is clearly different."

Rockefeller pulled out another Carter Bank promissory note he had and showed it to him.

"This is an IOU promissory note issued by our Carter Bank."

The overseer compared the Gold promissory note he brought with the IOU, the existing promissory note.

The form was the same, but there was one striking difference.

"Do you see the difference?"

"......"

The reason the overseer couldn't say anything.

The Gold promissory note did not contain any content guaranteeing gold directly from Carter Bank, but the IOU promissory note did.

"You probably see it. If you had brought us the IOU promissory notes that were used before, we would have naturally exchanged them for dalants. Because we guarantee the IOU promissory notes directly. But the Gold promissory notes are not. We do not guarantee them directly."

"But! The lord's credit... wasn't it better?"

Until now, all the promissory notes used by the people in the territory were IOU promissory notes issued by Carter Bank.

When the Gold promissory notes, which were directly guaranteed by the lord, began to appear, people started to use Gold promissory notes instead of the existing IOU promissory notes.

"In other words, I will give you the lord's promissory notes equivalent to the Gold promissory notes you brought. This is clearly stated in the Gold promissory notes."

In other words.

Don't argue here, go to the lord and argue again.

"Ha......"

With nothing more to say, the overseer sighed deeply, and Carter, who walked over to him, patted his shoulder and offered consolation that was not consolation.

"We're not just sending you away. We'll give you the lord's promissory notes equivalent to the Gold promissory notes you brought, so if you feel wronged, go to the lord instead of us. We think that's the right thing to do."

How could they dare to demand repayment from the lord, who was like the sky?

The overseer felt overwhelmed and then thought again.

There were many people like him in the territory.

At this time, the angry people who came to Carter Bank were shouting to exchange for dalants right now.

'It's not small at all. It could be everyone in the territory.'

Most of them had Gold promissory notes instead of the IOU promissory notes guaranteed by Carter Bank, which meant they all had something to say to the lord.

'If I can't do it alone... if I move with all those people outside?'

Moreover, the wages distributed to the subordinates this morning were all Gold promissory notes.

'If the subordinates think the same as me, there's no need to think any further.'

It was still a mystery how the Gold promissory notes (fake money) came to be used as 'real money' here and there, but that wasn't very important in this situation.

'We must get it back in gold.'

The Gold promissory note he clenched tightly was no longer money.

It was nothing more, nothing less than a piece of paper.

As the overseer's eyes changed fiercely after making up his mind, Rockefeller's lips curled up slightly as he watched.
