Tang En, who was sitting opposite Aurelia, repeated his discussion with Fiona. Only then did Princess Aurelia understand the cause and effect.
Her reaction was the same as Fiona's at first. She didn't understand why Tang En was doing this at first, but after listening to Tang En's explanation, she realised the enormous benefits involved.
Not to mention anything else, just monopolising the right to issue currency was an incredible power.
Even though Prandal's official currency was Irus gold, the Irus Empire's status was far from what it used to be, and the status of legal tender had long been shaken. That was why many gold coins from the previous dynasty were still circulating in the market.
Not to mention other countries, even in Alinx, one could see gold coins from the Orlando and Kansas empires from a thousand years ago. Who would believe that?
Thus, the number of gold coins issued by the Irus was simply unbelievable. They also didn't recycle many gold coins each year, and their days were spent just like that.
If the entire Prandal could use the new currency issued by the Irus Empire, not only would they be able to control the lifeline of the market, but they would also be able to make everyone accept the current status of the Irus Empire.
The rise of the Irus Empire might even depend on this new currency.
"I support you!"
Princess Aurelia said very decisively, "But we still need to discuss the specifics. There are too many implications, and it's very likely that there will be a lot of resistance."
"I believe that there's no resistance that can stop us."
Tang En said with a smile, "Didn't you say that Alinx doesn't have enough manpower? My dark elven warriors have been rather bored recently. Why don't we send them out to relax … "
Aurelia's eyes lit up, "They won't cause any trouble, right?"
"Of course not."
Tang En chuckled, "At most, they'll catch those fellows who want to fish in troubled waters and whip them. They're quite experienced in whipping people."
"Hmm, then … wait."
Aurelia looked at Tang En suspiciously. "How do you know that they are good at whipping people?"
An unnatural expression flashed across Tang En's face. His eyes drifted as he said, "Because we've met before … Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to the topic."
Aurelia didn't want to be fooled by him so easily. When she was about to ask, Empress Olina pushed the door open and entered.
"Eh? Don … Darling? "
Olina's face was full of surprise. "You're finally back. The Glory Ceremony is about to begin. We were worried that we couldn't reach you."
Tang En was stunned. "Didn't I ask Fiona to bring you a magical phone? If you're looking for me, you can call me. "
Aurelia was infuriated. "I did bring the magical phone, but where's the communication method?! I haven't exchanged contacts with you, so how can I call you?! "
Tang En didn't dare to say anything. He took out his magic-powered mobile phone and exchanged contact information with them. "Call me if anything happens."
Aurelia felt injustice for her mother. "So you're saying that I shouldn't bother you if there's nothing?"
"That … That's not what I meant …"
"Okay, mother. You heard it. Call him when you miss him. He can teleport anyway. He'll be there in the blink of an eye!"
Alleria finished her sentence and muttered under her breath, "This saves me the trouble of sneaking around in the middle of the night … Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …"
Tang En and Olina stared at Alleria with their mouths agape, especially Olina. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she rushed over to cover her daughter's mouth. "You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about? Shut up! "
"Mmm mmm mmm mmm!"
Aurelia waved her arms in indignation, as if she wanted to express something. Unfortunately, Olina covered her mouth and she couldn't say anything. After struggling for a while, the mother and daughter reached a compromise. Olina, who was panting, let go of Aurelia.
Aurelia, who had been tormented, tidied up her messy clothes. Then, she glared at Tang En and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"
Huh?
Tang En felt that he was inexplicably implicated.
"Back to the previous topic. Alinx is currently understaffed. Those dark elf warriors of yours … What's their name again?"
"Ghost Agents."
"Yes, Ghost Agents. It's good to let them help maintain order. The previous purge of the stubborn aristocrats still has some influence. Many people know that the dark elves have contributed to that incident. Let them come out and help may have an unexpected effect."
In such an environment, it might be better to have some deterrent characters.
"I'll arrange for them to come after I go back."
"As for the currency reform, I think you'd better discuss it with my mother."
Olina was confused. "Currency reform?"
Tang En had to repeat what he said before.
After hearing that, Olina was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded and said, "I also support you. I think, if the Irus Empire can really rise again, the person who will lead us will definitely be you."
"Thank you for your trust."
"No, we should thank you for everything you've done for us."
Olina and Princess Aurelia knew Tang En's identity and mission (see Chapter 486). That was why they trusted Tang En so much.
Since both of them supported his decision, then Tang En began to discuss the feasibility of currency reform with the two of them, as well as the problems they might encounter during the process. The three of them discussed until late at night. During the break, Tang En personally experienced the feeling of handling a national document. Then, Aurelia could not stand it and snatched it back. It had to be said that Tang En might really not be cut out to be a ruler …
That night, Tang En naturally stayed in the palace.
The next day, Olina's face was ruddy and her complexion was obviously much better. It seemed that even her skin was much brighter, which made many maids look at her.
Last night, Tang En didn't just stay here to pay taxes. He also discussed a lot of business with Olina. Although the topic of business was a bit subtle, it could be said that he was worried about the national affairs.
Olina was not in charge of politics before, but she had more or less learned something from Victor. She was quite clear about which policies could be easily implemented and which would be resisted. Therefore, she also gave Tang En a lot of ideas. After breakfast, under Aurelia's subtle attitude, the three of them sorted out the draft of currency reform.
Finally, they finalized a plan.
The former Mint of the Irus Empire would be reorganized into the Central Bank of Prandal, which would be responsible for the formulation and issuance of the new currency. The relevant printing and anti-counterfeiting technology and personnel would be supported by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the original staff would be retrained. The way of competition would be adopted. Those who passed the assessment could be hired again. Those who failed the assessment or had stains in their career would not be hired.
After the new currency was issued, there would be a buffer period of one to three years. During this period, the new currency and the alloy currency would be circulated together, giving the citizens a buffer period to exchange currencies.
At the same time, in order to promote the new currency, the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the Irus Royal Family would launch preferential policies. The Datang Chamber of Commerce would naturally offer discounts on goods, while the Royal Family would offer tax exemptions. After all, tangible benefits were things that people liked to see, and it would also give them more subjective initiative.
As for when to announce the news, Aurelia decided to put it aside for the time being, because Tang En's currency printing technology had not been fully confirmed, so they could not act rashly.
"Let's put the currency reform aside for the time being. After the research institute comes up with a feasible plan and we are fully prepared, it's better to fully announce the news."
After hearing Aurelia's answer, Tang En once again bid farewell to the busy King's City and returned to Ellington.
Fiona glanced at him and did not ask him about staying the night in King's City. After all, Tang En was already married to Olina, so it was reasonable for him to stay the night there.
After listening to Aurelia's thoughts, Fiona said, "Your Highness's opinion is also my opinion. Now, we can immediately start the breeding of the land dragons. Take a look at this draft first."
Tang En took the draft with a startled look. "You really worked hard for the whole night?"
"What do you think?"
Fiona rolled her eyes at him. In order to have a pleasant date with him, she worked very hard!
Tang En carefully read the draft written by Fiona. He had to admit that as a member of the Rosa d 'Oro family, her consideration was indeed much more comprehensive than Tang En's. She even took into account many details that Tang En did not consider. It could not even be considered a draft. It could be used directly.
"You're thinking too simply. Although Testero is looking forward to our economy and culture, he is, after all, the king of the Ryan Empire. He has to consider the interests of the Ryan Empire, so he is bound to give some opinions … Forget it. Why don't we go to New Bul-Keisau now?"
Having said that, Fiona simply pressed the bell on the table. A moment later, Marlene walked in quickly.
"Move all my appointments from this morning to this afternoon. I'll go out with His Majesty. Also, take care of the documents I gave you as soon as possible. I'll check them tonight."
As soon as Marlene nodded, her pretty face fell. She said softly, "Sister Fiona … I can't handle those things … I'm just an uneducated maid …"
"What kind of uncultured maid is this!"
Fiona stared at her and said, "Isn't Tina doing well now? Casper Castle is in good order under her management. Do you think you're not as good as her? "
"Well … I think I'm not as good as her …"
"Don't belittle yourself!"
Fiona said angrily as she packed up. "I'm getting busier and busier now. There are many things that I can't handle. In the future, I'll definitely need you to share the burden. Don't you want to solve problems for Tang En Majesty?"
Marlene secretly glanced at Tang En, thought for a moment, and nodded. "But …"
"No buts."
Fiona interrupted her. "I remember that you used to scold the former Lord of Ellington as a good-for-nothing. Since that's the case, now's your chance. Do your job well. Soon, you'll have to bear the same responsibility as Tina."
With that, Fiona took the lead and walked out of the study.
Tang En gave Marlene a helpless look and left Marlene, who had a bitter expression on her face, to follow Fiona out.
