Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Fall in love with youkanshu.com, Your Majesty, the spectacle is ruining the country!

Bruno made the banknotes about to be issued by the Principality of Idar very mysterious.

But this is not all deception.

because……

Strictly speaking, the new currency of the Principality of Idar really cannot be regarded as banknotes.

In the last life,

The raw materials of banknotes are mainly cotton pulp, sometimes mixed with some hemp pulp, chemical wood pulp and other raw materials, so that the banknotes can withstand folding for more than thousands of times. While having water resistance, they can be better Suitable for gravure printing.

And in this era...

Naturally, the Principality of Idar cannot produce high-end gadgets like chemical wood pulp, but... this does not trouble the craftsmen and researchers of the Principality of Idar at all.

In the process of making paper pulp, they creatively tried to add a variety of strange metal minerals and tree pulp unique to this world...

then,

After going through a hodgepodge again and again, the unique banknote paper of the Principality of Idar finally came into being!

It is true that the cost of making this kind of paper is much higher than that of ordinary writing paper, but... this thing is made with money!

Compared with other manufacturing production activities, the act of directly creating money has obviously sublimated the development of the manufacturing industry in the Principality of Idar!

Of course, the selection of coinage materials is only the first step in making new coins.

Researchers from the Idar Array Research Laboratory and the Idar Institute of Physics each took a small step and engraved the anti-counterfeiting logo and anti-counterfeiting layer designed by Bruno himself on the banknotes.

The patterns on the paper of the new banknotes were designed by the new official of the Principality of Idar and the chief art consultant of the Principality of Idar, and his name... is Via.

Via passed the Idar Principality's first civil servant examination and was admitted to the Idar Government Affairs Office.

Although his written examination results were not outstanding, he was specially recruited by the Idar Public Security Bureau because of his outstanding painting talent, and was responsible for drawing portraits of red-level criminals in the Principality of Idar.

After Bruno decided to issue a national currency with Idar characteristics, Via was seconded to the Central Bank of Idar and became a member of the preparatory team for the issuance of the Idar dollar.

Under Bruno's instructions, most of the patterns printed on the small denomination banknotes of the Principality of Idar are the wonders of the buildings that stand on the land of the Principality of Idar today.

Via arranged the wonders according to their different sizes to select the wonder patterns corresponding to the different denominations of the banknotes.

In other words, it means that the more awesome the wonder looks, the higher the face value of the banknote will be.

The one-cent note is printed with the Baths of Caracalla, the one-dollar note is printed with the Hanging Gardens, and the twenty-dollar note is printed with the representative building of Idar Public University - Radek. Leaf Reading Room.

As for the fifty-dollar and one-hundred-dollar banknotes... On the front of these large-denomination banknotes, the printed pattern is the portrait of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!

…

Bruno's speech was not long. If compared with Ford's policy address, it could even be called short.

but……

The concise words were calm and powerful, and even every word Bruno said was firmly imprinted on the hearts of the Idar people.

What surprised Bruno the most was... when he announced the issuance of a new currency that was not measured in physical metals, the Idar people did not show the expected hesitation.

On the contrary, when the civilians heard that this was for the economic independence and social stability of the Idar Principality, the people of the Idar Principality burst out with the same high-pitched cheers as before.

Perhaps... this is the Idar people's recognition of the Idar Government Office and their trust in the Stuart family.

The speech was over, but the New Year celebrations did not end there.

As the burning torches were thrown into the pyre by the Idar police officers, a strong bonfire began to rise around the crowd.

Roast whole lamb, roast beef, beggar's chicken, grilled fish skewers...

The chefs of the Lord's Castle and the chefs of "Uncle Dale's" fried chicken restaurant are already eager to try it. They have already prepared extremely rich ingredients for the people who come to participate in the celebration.

The military band began to play, the civilians began to sing and dance, the strong flames baked the slightly crispy crust, and the ingredients placed on the grill began to shine with oil.

All of a sudden... the aroma is overflowing!

Even though the lives of civilians have greatly improved, the ingredients for New Year celebrations are not common on weekdays, let alone the greasy barbecue and the fresh green vegetables that appear in winter.

The common people celebrated, and the Duke paid the bill.

Although Old Ford had repeatedly advised Bruno, claiming that this would cause the Stuart family to incur a staggering amount of expenses at the beginning of the New Year, this was Bruno's intention.

Will the act of issuing currency be seen as a deliberate attempt to make money?

Although such remarks have not appeared so far, Bruno is used to planning in advance.

He is actually taking this opportunity to establish his character!

Bruno wants to create an image of a generous and considerate duke in front of the Idar people, so as to eliminate the confusion of the common people about this new type of currency that is about to be issued to the greatest extent!

Including Bruno, many civil servants of the Idar Government Affairs Office were walking among the people, which made the Idar people present couldn't help but show flattered expressions and gestures.

On this day, the spirits are flowing freely and the food is enough!

Bruno and the people of the Principality of Idar celebrate the first New Year since the founding of the Principality of Idar!

Not even just the Idar people,

Even the Padilla Mission from the Forgotten Land could not help but gradually fall into this atmosphere.

Except for Grand Elder Sherman Goldberg, the members of the mission couldn't help but dance with the Idar people and celebrate the arrival of the New Year together.

As for the great elder...

All right,

At this moment, he was dumbfounded.

Even if he squeezed the juice out of the Padilla city-state, he would never be able to piece together such rich and extremely rich ingredients.

Just when the great elder was looking at everything in front of him with dull eyes... Mendel had quietly walked behind the great elder and said in a deep voice:

"Dear Mr. Sherman Goldberg, Your Majesty the Duke wants to see you."

…

The meeting place Bruno chose was located on the top floor of the Radcliffe Reading Room.

The major projects of the Principality of Idar made certain changes based on the original building and set it up as the office of the president of the Idar Public University.

The office is surrounded by spacious and bright tall floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking around, the entire Idar Public University can be seen at a glance.

Right now, in the square in front of the Radcliffe Reading Room, thousands of Idar people are singing, dancing and cheering.

"The Principality of Idar... looks pretty good, right?"

Although Bruno's words were just a question, the answer in his heart was already clear.

Of course not bad!

This is just a little bit of humility!

"yes……"

Hearing this, Great Elder Sherman Goldberg nodded quickly.

Although the Duke in front of him looks extremely young, which is even a bit incredible, but... he must not look at this young nobleman with a casual eye.

after all……

In these days, even though Padilla's mission has been to Merin District and Idar City, they have already clearly realized the power of the Principality of Idar.

In addition, according to the Idar people, Solenberg, Dell Hills...

No matter which one of these places you choose, they are all huge cities, comparable to dozens of Padilla city-states.

In the Merlin district, he saw the merchant ships and motorcades passing by, as well as the magnificence and majesty of the Great Lighthouse and the Venetian Armory.

Originally... he thought he had roughly figured out the strength of the Idar Principality.

But whether it was the roaring steam locomotive he rode on, or the Caracalla Baths and the ancient Roman aqueduct that he saw in Idar City...

These marvelous buildings are all manifestations and symbols of the comprehensive national strength of the Principality of Idar.

The New Year celebration was naturally not the first destination of the Padilla mission in Idar City. A few days before the New Year celebration, Sherman Goldberg had already witnessed the Idar mission with his own eyes. Dahl Department Store’s dazzling array of items.

There, countless goods and commodities coveted by the residents of the Padilla city-state were purchased at will by the Idar people.

There, there were many products that he couldn't name at all, which made him feel cash-strapped again and again.

so……

When he finally met Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, the great elder had almost no confidence: "Dear Duke, on behalf of the city-state of Padilla, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you."

"The Principality of Idar under your rule presents..."

"Okay, Mr. Sherman Goldberg."

Bruno waved his hand and interrupted the great elder's words: "I am a person who likes to be straightforward. These sincere truths can wait until later. You can go straight to the topic."

Although his words were interrupted by the young man in front of him, the great elder did not have a trace of temper in his heart, and he did not feel at all that the young man in front of him was a guy without martial ethics.

after all……

If it is based on the interests of the Principality of Idar, whether it is a hostile relationship or a good relationship with the Padilla city-state religion, it will not have much impact on the interests of the Principality of Idar.

However, Captain Hausen still invited him to visit this land, and Duke Idar did not show any hostility towards the Padilla mission. The great elder knew very well that in a sense... with such a gap in strength Under the premise of being so big, this is already the best attitude given by the Principality of Idar.

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Sherman Goldberg said simply and straightforwardly:

"We hope to gain your friendship and help from the Principality of Idar."

"Tell me why, and... why should I help you?"

Bruno stared at the old man in front of him with interest and said calmly.

To be fair,

As an outstanding young man of the new era who has been baptized by XXism, his elders' education and personal quality make it impossible for him to think like the barbaric and backward pirates in the West and do things that are as careless as triangular trade and to despise human life.

In the last life,

What China has brought to overseas civilizations is civilization and friendship, but the overseas exploration of the Western world has brought killing and plunder.

Although Bruno wanted to expand the territory in the Forsaken Land, and he certainly wanted the Principality of Idar to establish a foothold on the other side of the ocean, but... he never thought of talking about human rights like the Americans. , erasing all the indigenous people who originally lived on another continent.

Bruno hoped that in a civilized way, the people of these Padilla city-states could voluntarily fall into the arms of the Principality of Idar.

As for friendly communication on the physical level... it is always his last resort and trump card.

To a certain extent, Bruno would rather call it the baptism of civilization, or call it a cultural victory.

Take Civilization 6 as an example,

Before Bruno traveled through time, he did not like to achieve dominance victory and then become a ball leader when playing "Civilization 6". Instead, he preferred cultural victory or technological victory.

Of course, if cultural victory cannot be achieved, then the goal of cultural victory can be achieved by destroying other countries.

so……

Bruno had actually made a decision in his mind, but he still hoped to hear his views and opinions from the mouth of Great Elder Sherman Goldberg.

The great elder cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Although the Principality of Idar is thousands of miles away from mutants, in my opinion, no matter where you are or what your position is... mutants are always a common threat to human civilization."

As he spoke, he also glanced at Bruno cautiously, fearing that the Duke would underestimate the threat that mutants could pose.

but……

Bruno's face remained as usual, with no change in his expression at all.

"And in these years, the strength of mutant species has shown a trend of increasing strength. On the continent we are on...that is, the number of city-states on the west coast of the Forgotten Land you mentioned has dropped sharply. Nearly half!"

"Besides...if the Principality of Idar wants to expand its territory in the Forgotten Land, then the Padilla City-State can also provide the nobles with the help it can! After all...Although the Padilla City-State does not have what the Idar people have Powerful weapons, but with rich experience in fighting mutants."

"How do you want help?"

Bruno took a sip of coffee and looked into the great elder's eyes.

Hearing what Bruno said, the Great Elder was not polite at all: "Every spring, mutant species gather on a large scale, and based on their own hunting instincts, they attack human habitats. We call this phenomenon 'Beast Tide'."

"Tide of beasts?"

Bruno's brows finally frowned slightly. UU read books www. uukanshu． net

In the video [Forgotten Past.mp4], the wonder construction system did not mention this phenomenon.

so……

Perhaps this is one of the consequences of "the evil thoughts of gods" getting out of control?

"Yes, beast tide."

The great elder nodded seriously.

"If possible, what we most hope to receive is direct support from Idar's army, or a comprehensive trade with your country covering weapons, food, clothing, etc. As for the things we can trade..."

Speaking of this, the great elder was speechless for a moment.

Because he really couldn't imagine what he could trade with the Idar people!

indeed,

The Forgotten Land is extremely rich in mineral resources, but the Idar people can completely obtain it with their own force. There is no need to find a Padilla city-state as a middleman to make the difference! !

only……

Before the great elder could hold back anything, he heard Bruno suddenly say:

"I want people."

"Eh?"

"The Principality of Idar can help you, even directly provide you with military support, and can also trade with you!"

"And my request is very simple. The Principality of Idar should hire people from the Padilla City-State to build ports and lay roads."

"We want to hire residents of Padilla City-State as guides to serve the Principality of Idar."

"Of course, I will give you money."
