Goblin Dollar (5)

At that, Ricardo expressed his doubts.

"Are you saying that you're creating nonexistent money and giving it to Baron Frank? Is that what you're saying?"

His counterpart was Ismail, the leader of one of the three great noble families of the empire.

And his temporary assistant to help him with his work.

Since there was no need to hide what had already been openly discussed at the guild meeting, Rockefeller replied with a smile.

"More or less, yes. That's why I said that."

Ricardo couldn't hide his astonishment.

And deceiving everyone while doing so.

'I was right. They planned to create nonexistent money and help Baron Frank with it.'

"Are there no problems with doing this?"

Ricardo's financial knowledge was only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.

So he couldn't easily predict the outcome of Rockefeller's actions.

Because his financial knowledge was insufficient.

At that question, Rockefeller burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Of course, there are problems. How could there be no problems if we're printing nonexistent money and spreading it in the market?"

"What kind of problems will arise?"

"Are you curious?"

"Yes, a little."

Rockefeller, who had been stroking his chin for a moment, smiled and explained what Ricardo was curious about.

"A limit?"

"Yes, there's a limit."

Rockefeller continued.

"Goblin Dollars are an extension of the promissory notes we've been using. However, these promissory notes aren't just printed on any paper; they require a special paper made by the Sinclair family."

"Ah... then there would be a limit."

"Of course, the supply of that paper is limited. That's why there's a limit."

Rockefeller then showed a meaningful smile.

"And the one who monopolizes that paper is me. All the paper used for the promissory notes is exclusively traded between the Sinclair family and me, using my authority as guild leader."

"That means you monopolize the Goblin Dollars..."

"That's right. So the situation you're worried about probably won't happen. You were just worried about that, right? What would happen if there were many bankers like me, recklessly printing Goblin Dollars? Wouldn't market prices skyrocket?"

"Yes... Honestly, I was worried about that."

"There's no need to worry about that at all. I have to provide that special paper in order for other banks to recklessly print Goblin Dollars. But if I don't give them the paper, they won't be able to print Goblin Dollars. Because I already have a monopoly on it."

The more they talked, the scarier he seemed.

He alone could control the supply of Goblin Dollars circulating in the market.

"Even so, won't problems eventually arise?"

"Of course, problems will arise in proportion to the amount of Goblin Dollars I've created excessively. The value is created out of thin air and diluted with the actual value, so of course, prices will rise. However, since I control it, the problem will not be immediately apparent and will appear very slowly."

The following words were important.

"And that level of problem will pass without incident due to the ignorance of the public. And later, they will think, 'Why did the prices keep going up?'"

Rockefeller shook his head.

"There's no fault with them. The fault lies with us, who deceive them."

"Is it okay to deceive them?"
