Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Aphrodite didn't know whether she was mentally ill or out of caution. She lingered around Maro City for several days before finally leaving southward.

Ethan didn't know where she was going, but she finally took action, which was a good thing.

Next, he would wait for her to take him to find the [Fraudster]!

As for whether he could catch him again, Ethan had no idea, so he could only rely on God's will.

After dealing with Aphrodite's affairs, he finally had time to deal with the banknotes.

So, he invited Nolan to visit Turing Manor again.

The two played polo for a while, and then chatted about children on the bench outdoors. Seeing that they had almost finished talking nonsense.

Ethan asked someone to bring a plate.

When the plate was placed on the table, Nolan took a look at the contents of the plate and frowned.

Then he picked up the rectangular paper in the plate and looked at it again and again.

"I heard that the Iris Society had issued paper money in coastal areas before, but then it suddenly stopped for some reason. I think the so-called paper money should be this thing!"

After hearing this, Ethan knew that Nolan had studied paper money, or at least had a certain understanding or concern about the economy.

It was obviously much easier to negotiate with such a person.

He nodded: "Yes, this is the paper money, but it was not issued by the Iris Society before, but the paper money that Maro City will issue."

"You want to issue paper money?" Nolan showed a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you have this credit? Also, you have the right to mint coins..."

Nolan stopped talking halfway, and then stared at Ethan with a suspicious face: "You don't want to..."

"You guessed right!" As he said, Ethan took out the largest denomination from several banknotes and handed it to Nolan: "Look at the portrait in the middle."

Nolan took it and saw that the portrait of his grandfather, the Grand Duke of the North, was printed in the middle of the banknote.

Although the portrait is not very exquisite, the grandfather's serious and rigid expression is vividly portrayed.

Nolan smiled bitterly: "It's easy for you to get the right to mint coins. Just use the orc intelligence as a bargaining chip to talk to my grandfather, he will definitely agree, you don't have to talk to me."

"No!" Ethan shook his finger: "One thing is one thing, orc intelligence is related to the entire human race, and there is absolutely no possibility of using it as a bargaining chip.

We will make a request in a normal way. Even if the Grand Duke of the North disagrees, you can rest assured that I will not joke about orcs.

And I want to talk to you first. First, I know that you have worked in the Northland Development Department and may have a certain understanding of the issuance of banknotes. I hope you can support me.

Secondly, I am worried that what you said will happen, so I must explain it in advance.

You must understand that my investigation of the movements of orcs has a certain impact. Certainty, I can't guarantee that the information is completely correct.

Therefore, I am very worried that during the negotiation with the Duke of the North, the intelligence will be inaccurate.

At that time, the Duke is likely to misunderstand me.

If I guess correctly, he must think that I am using this as a threat.

Once this happens, there will be no trust between us, which is a situation I never want to see.

You must know that the purpose of my issuing paper money is to facilitate the people and to better develop the economy, and the most important thing about issuing paper money is trust.

If your grandfather thinks that I dare to falsify the intelligence of orcs, dare to ignore the lives of the North, and dare to be so irresponsible for the survival of mankind, he will definitely not believe that I issue paper money for the people. "

Nolan was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed dumbly.

"So, you want me to be the middleman and lobby my grandfather for you? "

"I have this idea!" Ethan spread his hands: "But I don't know what you think?"

Nolan just kept smiling bitterly after hearing this.

Finally, he couldn't laugh anymore, so he slowly said, "My grandfather has 4 sons, 13 grandsons, and countless adopted sons.

Each of them is extremely talented, and I am just the least conspicuous one among them.

It can even be said that he hates the most.

You asked me to be the middleman, but your wishful thinking was wrong."

"I only know that you are his relative, and I only know you! If not you, who else can I find?"

As he said, Ethan took out two envelopes and put them on the table.

There were two different documents in the two envelopes.

One was about the latest quotation for exporting materials to the Northland, and the price was about 5% lower than before. Although it seemed to be only 5% lower, it would save the Northland a lot of money if accumulated over a long period of time.

The other was about the distribution share of gold recovered after issuance.

Of course, the distribution of this share, on the premise of ensuring the basic reserve, the remaining part will be used for distribution.

This document guarantees that Nolan can get 1.5% personally.

From the contents of the two documents, it can be seen that one is for the public and the other is for private.

Ethan also clearly marked it on the envelope.

The reason for making two copies was that he had to give benefits to ask for help, and he wanted to see what Nolan would choose.

But before he could explain, Nolan glared at him and asked angrily, "What do you mean? Bribing me?"

Although he spoke in a bad tone, he did not stop his movements. He swept his right hand and put the two envelopes into his arms.

Then he took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, and then turned his anger into a smile: "You still understand me."

Ethan was stunned by the other party's operation. He wanted to explain that he could only choose one of the two letters.

But I never expected Nolan to be so shameless. He took both away before things were made clear.

Now it's good. The things have been taken away. It's not good to take them back!

After hesitating for a while, Ethan decided to make it clear.

But before he could speak, Nolan had already stood up, patting his chest and making promises.

"I'll take care of this matter. I promise you that my grandfather will definitely agree."

As soon as the voice fell, he made an excuse that he had something to do and ran away.

Looking at Nolan's departing back, Ethan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

After Nolan returned to the mansion, he immediately contacted the Grand Duke of the North. The first sentence they said when they met was:

"Dear Grandfather, you guessed it right. Ethan really wants the right to mint coins."

The Grand Duke of the North smiled slightly: "This group of southern nobles is synonymous with greed. It's not surprising that they have any ideas.

I have always hoped that you would not get too close to them, that's why.

Now that you have experienced it yourself, how do you feel?"

"It feels good!" Nolan replied with a smile.

The Duke of the North's face turned cold: "You want to piss me off to death, right?"

"I don't have that idea." Nolan spread his hands: "I just think you misunderstood Ethan. He didn't want to use the orc intelligence as a bargaining chip.

I was even worried that you misunderstood, so I made it clear to me.

So, we can negotiate with him normally!"

After hearing this, the Duke of the North fell into a long silence.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally said, "How true do you think he is?"

Nolan did not answer the question directly, but said, "As soon as I arrived in Maro City, I immediately looked up his economic measures in Maro City.

One thing shocked me very much. When facing the economic sanctions of the sixteen dukes, he opened up a new idea.

By using parliamentary taxes as collateral, he borrowed money from the people and nobles, and then used the borrowed money for large-scale infrastructure.

In this way, not only did he increase employment, but he also revitalized the economy of the entire Maro City.

Most importantly, the infrastructure projects he launched were all large-scale livelihood projects.

For example, the water conservancy and irrigation system covering the entire Maro City, and the road widening and hardening project.

Once these projects are completed, they will benefit Maro City for several generations, or even dozens of generations.

And his idea of ​​using credit as collateral, spending future money, and doing things now is worth learning from."

After hearing this, the Duke of the North became even more silent.

Finally, he slowly said, "Negotiate with him! You are fully responsible, and there is only one bottom line, which is that you cannot harm the interests of our Northland."
