Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 218 Reaching a Consensus

In the end, the two parties still decided on Nuremberg on Cuban Island, not only because of the special significance of the city to the two kings, but also because of its location—since both countries want to choose the wedding location in their own capital , in order to avoid conflicts, let's set it on Richard's first fief Kuban Island.

Then, Ornus continued to discuss with Strong about whether the two countries should be united or united after their wedding. Of course, it is impossible for Strong to agree to the union. Not only did he disagree, but even Queen Stephanie complained about it Frowning, Ornus had expected this a long time ago, so he took out the scroll given by Richard before he set off, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, and Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is what my king ordered me to hand over. For you, it contains the future ideas of the two countries after their marriage."

"Oh?" Stephanie looked at the unpretentious scroll, raised her hand to signal the servant to take it, and presented it to herself.

Allowing the servant to take the scroll, Ornus put his hands down, hanging down at his sides, and looked at Stephanie and Strong confidently. I believe that the plan that his king came up with must not be wrong. Picking up the scroll presented by the servant, tearing off the red rope tied on it, and then spreading it out, Stephanie carefully examined the contents on it. She looked at it, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. After reading it, she asked someone to hand over the scroll to Strong, and said, "Your Excellency Ornus, I have no objection to King Richard's proposal, but the specific answer will not be conveyed to you until after the cabinet meeting." you."

The proposal that Stephanie mentioned was that Richard referred to the Iberian marriage of later generations and proposed a plan to form the two countries into a United Kingdom. According to Richard's idea, the two kingdoms are still separate on the surface after marriage. Independent, but in fact the national government affairs are jointly decided by the king and the queen, and the complete union of the two countries should be completed after their descendants inherit the throne of the two countries.

Of course, after the wedding, the main titles of the two countries will merge into one, becoming the United Kingdom of Winster-Ravana. "I'll wait," Ornus replied.

Strong quickly browsed the scroll of Ornus, he put it down, and then said: "Your Excellency Ornus, I have a question, after the merger into the United Kingdom, will the cabinets of the two countries be merged together?"

This issue is not only his top concern, but also the concern of members of Ravana's cabinet.

"Of course there will be no merger." Onus replied with a smile on his face: "After the formation of the United Kingdom, the cabinets of the two countries will continue to be retained, and each will assist the king in managing the country's government affairs."

Strong nodded after getting the answer he wanted. With Ornus' answer, he believed that the cabinet would not have too much resistance to it in the subsequent cabinet meeting. ...

While Ornus was visiting the Kingdom of Ravana, Richard was also preparing to promote a new round of reforms in the country-coin reform.

After the conquest of the Republic of Cunya, there was a conflict between the currencies in circulation between the two places. In the Winster region, the currency was called Silver Tyra, which weighed 0.065 grams, of which only one-fifth was silver, and the rest were copper and other An alloy made of mixed metals; and the currency circulating in the Cunha area is called Kuscoin, which weighs about 0.053 grams and is of better quality than Silver Tyra because it contains one-third of silver.

Before the merger of the two places, the currency in circulation will not have any impact, but after the Cunha region is included in the territory of the kingdom, it will cause financial chaos. Therefore, under the suggestion of the treasurer, Richard put the reform of the currency system on the agenda. According to his idea, the royal government will introduce a brand new currency, which will be called the mark, and its weight will be heavier than the previous one. The two are heavier at 1.5 grams. Contains 0.7 grams of silver.

However, in order to support the large-scale promotion of such silver coins, one must have a silver mine with a large storage capacity, but looking at the whole country, only the Cunha region has a small silver mine that can be mined. And this silver mine became depleted early in the years of mining.

In desperation, Richard could only order to increase the mining of the silver mine,

On the one hand, cavalry were sent to search for undiscovered minerals all over the country.

It is worth mentioning that people in this world do not have the habit of using gold to make money. They are more willing to dissolve gold and shape it into statues and other works of art.

Fortunately, the languages ​​and characters used by the countries of the Vardasia Peninsula are the same, otherwise Richard would have to work hard to promote a wave of books and text cars on the same track.

...

After nearly a month of inspections, Richard still got some good news. In a small mountain range in Urif, the cavalry sergeants sent out discovered a medium-sized silver mine. The location of the mine is deep in a dense forest, so it was avoided being discovered by humans before then. All in all, Richard, as the first discoverer, earned his money.

As soon as he knew the news, Richard sent an army to the area to take over the silver mine. At the same time, he began to organize survey experts and miners, mobilize materials, and prepare to start the construction of the silver mine in a short time. mining.

At the same time, within this month, the second marriage of the First Legion was also carried out in the barracks under the arrangement of the chaplain, and the sketch of the Gothic church submitted by the cardinal and court chaplain Peter Scanrel also took place. After Chad's review and simple changes, it was approved, and construction started on the ruins of the long-demolished house in the noble district.

The first church in the Kingdom of Winster, and also the first church in the world, is expected to be completed in the summer of the next year, which is a pity because it cannot witness the sacred wedding of Richard and Stephanie.

In addition, Ornus von Frank, the diplomatic chief of the Kingdom of Ravana, also led the mission back to Nord City safely, and reported to Richard the results obtained in Ravana City. After Ornus' lobbying and bribery, the cabinet of the Kingdom of Ravana unanimously passed the resolution that the two countries will become the United Kingdom after the king's wedding. In order to appease the nobles and people of the two countries, the king and queen need to When spring comes next year, we will go on tour together and tour the whole country.

This is not an objection to Richard. In fact, he also wants to go to the countryside, go deep into the castles of the nobles, go deep into the families of the common people, and better understand the living environment of the people in the Middle Ages. A reference—although he is not the kind of king who wholeheartedly considers the happiness of the people, he does not want the people under his rule to live in dire straits.
