[Due to government needs, from now on, all registered citizens of the Northwest Republic must go to the sub-district office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to register their surnames. If you do not have a surname, you can design your own registration. 】

After the first batch of registrations, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will release the number of registered families with each surname. If there are no families that can successfully register, it can be redesigned. Even the second and third designs...]

[Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Northwest Republic, today. 】

This notice was plastered all over the streets of towns in the Northwest Republic, and loud-sounding propagandists temporarily hired by the Ministry of Civil Affairs shouted on the streets to promote this policy - this is also one of the characteristics of the Northwest Republic. Every time a new policy is released, There will be a group of propagandists to promote and explain.

Of course it costs some money to hire these propagandists. But compared to the improvement in governance efficiency that can be achieved, this money is nothing.

What's more, the Northwest Republic lacks resources and talents, but it does not lack money.

Haven't you seen the venue of the fifth world's best martial arts tournament that is being prepared? Just the renovation of the venue alone would cost enough to hire publicists several times.

Not to mention, a large amount of bonuses will be given out in every martial arts competition. Let alone the real number one in the world, even the top eight in the youth group will receive an astonishing amount of bonuses.

The top leaders of the Northwest Republic have advised Sui Xiong more than once not to hold the world's largest martial arts tournament, which wastes people and money, or even if they do, the frequency should be reduced. They feel that once in ten years is too frequent, and once in twenty years is too high.

In response, Sui Xiong just smiled.

What is money? Money is not gold, silver and jewelry, but currency in circulation.

He didn't do well in the politics class, but "the nature of money" was the focus of the freshman politics class. The teacher talked about it over and over again, and he would probably get it in every exam. No matter how poorly he learns, he still has some impression.

The essence of currency is a commodity used to assist circulation. There is also a special term called "general equivalent". On Earth, this thing has developed to the point of book data guaranteed by national credit. To put it bluntly, it uses the national credit as a commodity - so at the beginning, their political teachers praised "Bitcoin" that many IT people highly praised. Such non-credit currencies are scoffed at, and there are even mocking statements such as "If I carry a gun and rob a certain Bitcoin trading platform, can they use electronic data to arrest me?"

In this world, money is far from developing to the credit stage. It is still in the era of being made of portable and expensive things such as gold, silver, and gems. Although the currency values ​​of various countries are not consistent, what users recognize is the currency itself, not the country behind the currency.

As for credit currency, even the Goddess of Wealth does not dare to do so. So far, her church can only launch transfer services based on customers' existing deposits.

In other words, if a gold coin is stored in a warehouse, it means that this gold coin is really missing from the market, and no country can replace it by printing money or the like.

If too many coins are stored in the warehouse, there will be too few coins on the market. This will of course affect market circulation. The most direct impact is that things will fall in price and coins will rise in price.

After all, gold, silver and gems are themselves commodities, and their prices will rise due to scarcity. And unlike on earth, there are many places in this world where these things are consumed - for example, magicians make golems or arrange magic circles, which often consume kilograms of gold and several times or even ten times at a time. several times the amount of silver, and many precious stones.

As a result, there will be fewer and fewer coins on the market, which will definitely cause big troubles!

Sui Xiong has always been a little worried about this matter. Over the years, the Northwest Republic has been making money every day due to its developed business and entertainment industries. Although large quantities of production materials were purchased at the same time, most of these production materials were turned into food, drinks, weapons, armor, and even luxury goods, and then turned into money again.

As a result, there were more and more gold coins in the vault. They were no longer "stacked like mountains", but piled up into small mountains. Frost and Hail, who were happy to see the piles of gold coins before, are now even numb.

They are probably the two happiest rock dragons in the world, maybe even the happiest dragons. Other dragons have to take risks in order to earn enough wealth, but as long as they help Sui Xiong guard the treasury, they can enjoy a happy life of rolling around on gold coins and gems at will. There are only a pile of gold coins in other dragon's lairs, but the gold coins in their treasury are piled into... golden mountains and golden seas.

About two-thirds of these gold coins are Sui Xiong's personal property - really personal property, because almost all of the most profitable businesses in the Northwest Republic were built with his personal investment and are completely sole proprietorships. Even if he later divided some shares, the majority would still be in his own hands.

What's more important is that those who have been allocated shares - such as the top brass of the Republic - they have to spend money, and often spend a lot of money, but Sui Xiong has almost no expenses. For him, even one I can't even spend the copper coins.

He has no expenses at all.

In the past, he sometimes split his body into a mortal form, wandering around in the world, and it was common for him to spend money when he was happy. In recent years, he has not even done this, let alone spend money.

Watching the wealth in the vault grow day by day, Sui Xiong felt that the financial order of this world was crumbling.

So, he couldn't wait to spend his money.

It's best to spend it on places that will soon enter the circulation field, such as giving money, giving money, and giving money...

However, money can't be given randomly. Sui Xiong did propose to give dozens of gold coins to every adult citizen of the Northwest Republic every year, but it was jointly rejected by the top leaders of the country. Their reason was that giving money randomly would affect the normal production and life of the country.

Sui Xiong really didn't understand why giving money would also affect the production and life of the country, but everyone said so, so it was probably estimated that it was really the case.

So he had to worry about the increasing amount of money.

The world's number one martial arts competition was the best way he could think of to spend money. The prizes are secondary. Every time this event is held, a lot of money is spent on purchasing materials and paying for labor, which is the biggest expense.

Unfortunately, for a conference held once every ten years, the money spent is still too little...

While spending lavishly, Sui Xiong was still muttering secretly: "If none of you agree with me giving out money, what if I don't think of a way to send the money back to the market, what will happen when the world financial order goes wrong in the future..."
