The villain queen is eavesdropping on my inner thoughts and she won't let me lie down?

Angelina came to Maotai Villa not to chat with her brother, but to discuss the deepening reform of the empire's financial industry.

At this time, the great powers in the Evernight World Continent were changing, actively preparing for war or had already started fighting.

Only the Qingteng Empire had a different style, accumulating internal strength frantically and transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

This is a huge, systematic project. It is not that a country can be called an industrial country just by having the right technology, building factories, producing various machinery and military weapons, and then completing the upgrade.

Compared with feudal countries, modern countries are all-round improvements in systems, technology, mobilization capabilities, and national quality.

Not to mention the dimensionality reduction strike in manufacturing capabilities, the blacksmith shop hammers swords and builds aircraft carriers like dumplings, which is not an order of magnitude of material throughput at all.

Education has brought citizens with more comprehensive physical fitness, intelligence and quality, more comprehensive capabilities in production and military, and actively pursues a better life, creates greater value, and has stronger efficiency and stress resistance.

The free market brings rich and active products, transportation ensures the rational and rapid mobilization of resources, communication ensures the communication of information, and the extension to the military is the exponential increase of the central government's control over the local and border areas.

After a series of practices, everyone has found that what can really stimulate all people to the greatest extent and work together for the same goal to build Qingteng is not dreams, but shining gold coins.

Whether it is a noble wizard or a farmer facing the loess and back to the sky, they will smile knowingly when they see gold coins.

Gold coins represent purchasing power, a good life, and beautiful women with fine clothes and delicious food. Everyone is willing to pay more sweat for it.

As for dreams, ideas, glory, and the future, these big cakes have an incentive effect, but they are only temporary after all, and they are not effective for everyone.

For most people, passion cannot beat the slow wear and tear of ordinary life.

The empire has tried many methods, and finally found that gold coins are the most practical.

At this time, the most popular learning projects in Fearless Space are various vocational skills training, not theoretical or artistic studies.

Because no matter it is a combat profession or a production profession, as long as you have a basic level of literacy and arithmetic, and then master a skill, the increase in income is obvious and visible.

Now the empire is in ruins, the industry is booming, and workers and craftsmen are in urgent need. The empire also has large-scale infrastructure under construction. It can be said that no matter how many laborers there are, they can be digested and everyone has a job.

There are many capitalists who offer high salaries and even advance payment to train workers' skills in order to compete for people.

After all, it has been less than three years since people have had enough food, and agriculture is still the most important industry in people's minds. The flow of people willing to enter the industrial field is increasing, but it is very slow, and can only be attracted slowly by high income.

This attraction has extended to foreign countries, and many refugees will sneak into the empire and find a job in the factory.

Under this increasingly frequent and larger economic flow, the amount of precious metals has become a link that restricts the speed of the empire's economic development.

It's not that the empire can't make so much money, but that the total number of gold coins is limited.

This problem was exposed when Sophie promoted the soul-like bracelet.

In this case, the issuance of paper money is very necessary.

Even paper money linked to metal reserves, rather than paper money linked to national credit, can greatly promote the liquidity of the empire's economy and accelerate the development of commerce.

But this is not a job that can be done overnight. It will take a long time for people to change their consumption habits of the past tens of thousands of years and for domestic and international merchants to recognize this approach.

Angelina has spent a lot of energy in this regard, has been conducting research and preparation, and has consulted many opinions, and finally formulated a very stable imperial economic model.

A clear timetable has been generated for the transition from gold coins to paper money, and from national currency to international transaction settlement currency.

Previously, Angelina had begun to establish a series of state-owned banks such as the Imperial Central Bank, the Imperial Agricultural Bank, the Imperial Industrial Bank, and the Imperial Construction Bank.

Then encourage other capital to enter and establish private banks, and promote bills similar to "Jiaozi" and "Checks", step by step to establish credit and change trading habits.

When large-scale state-owned infrastructure projects such as railways, roads, communication facilities, and military fortresses were built, "agricultural coupons" and "industrial coupons" that could be exchanged for materials were also issued to workers, so that people could get used to the feeling of spending paper as gold coins.

Not long ago, Angelina began to conduct research in various parts of the empire, listening to the feedback from officials, merchants, factory owners, and citizens. She finally believed that the market was fully prepared, and the empire's credit and trading habits had been cultivated on a solid foundation.

She returned to Aodu last night and was ready to discuss with Roger again. She proposed to the parliament that the Central Bank of the Empire should issue a universal material exchange note - Qingteng Coin based on the state-owned gold reserves.

This will be the first universal paper money in the Eternal Night World. It was secretly designed and trial-made by the Secret Society a year ago. After many revisions, the manufacturing process is quite mature.

The anti-counterfeiting aspect also draws on many classic designs of modern banknotes.

The magic world has alchemy, and naturally there are also means to identify sleight of hand. The issuance of paper money naturally has the problem of being imitated.

In this regard, the soul-like bracelet is connected to the virtual world entrance of the fearless space, backed by the database of the Central Bank of the Empire, and will also undertake the functions of banknote verification and digital payment - the magic QR code has also been successfully developed.

Frankenstein and Afu have done a lot of cryptographic verification methods, covering many professional fields, exceeding Roger's understanding.

But it is basically certain that ordinary legendary casters cannot easily crack the multiple encryption methods used by Ivy Coins and QR codes.

Of course, if these strong men are willing to pay a sufficient price, they will definitely have the means to forcefully disguise themselves.

It's just that their ability to make money and the risks they may take by doing so are far less high than the returns from formal channels.

In this way, Empire already has the technical foundation and market demand to implement new payment methods.

However, Angelina grew up in an environment where gold coins were used for transactions. There are still many uncertainties when implementing this policy for the first time. There are still many new details encountered in this survey that need to be consulted by Roger, the chief designer.

As a result, on the way here, I met Margaret, and I was so angry that I misunderstood the relationship between the two!

However, as she walked from the door to Roger's study, Angelina's mood gradually cooled down, and many of Margaret's words echoed in her ears.

Do you really know Roger?

Angelina doesn't like Margaret, but if her brother really chooses to be good to this little devil, and the two of them are in free love, based on her nature and for the sake of her brother's happiness, she will definitely accept it in the end.

So in the final analysis, the fundamental reason why her defense was broken was not the misunderstanding that "Roger and Margaret are getting along", but the mentality of "Margaret understands her stinky brother better than me", which led to her emotional Came to the brink of collapse.

The guy I hate the most accidentally ran in front of me, stole my treasure, and showed off his power to me. No matter how good-tempered my sister was, she couldn't stand it.

But Margaret was not present, and Angelina gradually calmed down again, thinking about how to communicate with Ajie next.

Hitting a mandarin duck directly with a stick is very likely to have the opposite effect. Children all have a rebellious stage.

It's best to pretend to mention it casually, test Roger's true attitude first, and then communicate rationally.

With the intelligence Roger is showing now, he shouldn't become Margaret's licking dog and deceive his feelings in vain, right?

What if there is something hidden that you don’t know about?

Now that his younger brother is older and has established his own business in the empire, he must also want to save face.

How much of my sister's authority is left? Angelina herself doesn't have much confidence.

When she came outside Roger's study, Angelina's expression had returned to her usual appearance, with a faint, gentle smile. No one could tell that she had just had a big quarrel with Margaret.

At least if Margaret hadn't reported the news in advance, Roger would definitely not have been able to tell.

The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving others. Even the Right Chancellor of the Empire, known as Saint An, has equally superb acting skills.

Otherwise, how could she show an inclusive smile to people she hates?

Of course, when dealing with your younger brother, you also need to use your brain and think about communication skills instead of just beating and scolding him. As a sister, you unconsciously feel a little aggrieved.

But there is no way, who would let that be his brother?

He now has a status that is almost the same as his own, and he definitely can't get along with him like before.

So I really hope that he will succeed, but also feel that it is better to be a waste!

Taking a deep breath, Angelina ordered her servants to announce her arrival.

"Sister, you are here." Roger smiled lightly and stood up to greet her. He was not surprised by his sister's expression at this moment. Of course, he would not ask her sister silly questions like "Did you have a fight with the little devil?"

Unlike Margaret, who thought of everything she said, her sister was a model of aristocracy. Even if she wanted to investigate, she would have to go through the process before she spoke.

For example, finish talking about today's business first, and then pretend to mention it casually.

Although the two siblings have not communicated for a while, Roger still understands Angelina well both inside and outside the game.

Roger respected her habit, and at the same time, while discussing the imperial financial industry plan with Angelina, he used the ghost bracelet to send and receive messages, and quietly understood what happened between Angelina and Margaret.

The quarrel between the two imperial prime ministers took place openly at the gate, and many servants of Maotai Villa heard it or saw it from a distance.

Although they did not take action directly, the quarrel over Master Roger still shocked many people.

It's just that these servants were either sent from the palace or trained by Angelina herself. They all know the rules and know not to talk nonsense when encountering such things. If Roger doesn't ask them, they won't talk nonsense.

When Roger asked, of course there would be no hidden dangers, of course they could tell who the owner was.

The matter was not complicated, and Roger soon understood the cause and effect. It was just a misunderstanding caused by Margaret's indiscreet words.

This is easy to explain, after all, I have no substantive relationship with Margaret.

As long as the two people complete the tasks together and get along with each other every day, I believe that Angelina's reason can definitely resolve the misunderstanding.

But Roger also realized Angelina's deep-seated psychology of overreacting from the quarrel between the two.

It was easy to explain this time, but a similar misunderstanding is likely to occur next time, but it may not be such good luck.

So Roger quietly arranged a series of routines based on Angelina's character, preparing to consolidate the relationship between the siblings in a long-term and stable manner.

"Disguise a group of Poseidon cultists and attack Maotai Villa. Wait for my instructions."

Roger's Night Guard Jinxiu, who was on duty in Aodu, gave the order.

Arrangements were made quietly, and Roger and Angelina were almost done talking.

The issuance of Ivy Coin has been discussed countless times at various levels, and various scenarios have been previewed.

This time, the two of them only made some minor adjustments based on Angelina's research, and there were no major changes.

Angelina stood up to pack the documents and mentioned it as if unintentionally: "By the way, when I first came here, I met Margaret at the gate of your manor. How do you get along with her?"

Roger deliberately paused for half a second, pretending to observe his sister's expression, and then said: "...We are considered friends, right?"

"It's surprising. How did you get to know each other?"

"Because of the war in the Sea Kingdom and the intelligence work against neighboring countries, the Night Guard and the military have a lot of interactions."

"Why do you come to talk about these things at home?"

"It's just a casual chat during breakfast... Sister, do you want to know something?"

Roger deliberately asked his questions knowingly and at the same time ordered his men to act.

Angelina looked hesitant, but Roger was very natural when he mentioned Margaret, without any nervousness or sweet expression.

As if he were an ordinary friend?

That Margaret, wasn't she deliberately making things up to make herself angry?

She's not that boring, is she?

Angelina soon had a definite answer, confirming that Margaret was really that boring and vindictive, and would use any means to make people angry.

So after a few chats, Angelina was already suspecting that she had misunderstood.

If Margaret and Roger were indeed discussing sabotaging relations with other countries, it would indeed be considered a military secret, even though she, as the Right Chancellor, would normally not interfere.

"No, I'm just curious that a rare visitor came to your house."

"It's not rare, she's used to it when she comes over and over again." Roger spread his hands and smiled, his expression suddenly softened: "If sister is not busy, I still have some government affairs questions that I would like to ask you for advice."

"Of course that's good!"

Angelina's eyes flashed with undetectable joy.

She is not afraid of trouble, but is afraid of losing her value to the people she cares about, so she is very happy that Roger still has questions and is willing to ask her.

"It's about the magic crystal equipment order..."

Halfway through Roger's words, the whole room suddenly shook. The furniture on the tables, cabinets, and murals on the walls all fell down, and then a loud explosion was heard not far away.

"Enemy attack, you damn fanatics!"

A shrill alarm came from outside, as well as the shouts of the guards.

The guards around Roger and Angelina were very strong, but the enemy seemed to be stronger, and they soon broke through to the inner courtyard.

A guard rushed in and asked the two adults to take refuge in the safe house through the secret passage.

"I don't believe that just a few believers can cause such mischief in the capital of the empire!" Luo Jie said disdainfully and even looked outside the house.

"Ajie, safety is our top priority."

Angelina persuaded Roger and pulled him towards the secret passage.

Roger's pestle didn't move there. Angelina pulled it several times, but couldn't stand the pleading eyes of her sister. Then she turned back and walked towards the secret passage, but the expression on her face was still reluctant.

At this time, a holy light bullet from outside seemed to have not been intercepted and flew towards their study.

"careful!"

Angelina caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and quickly pushed Roger down. Instead, she was blown several meters away by the aftermath and fell directly to the ground.

Of course, the scene just looked scary. Of course, this magical spell was accurately calculated and would never really hurt Angelina.

I just had some scratches on my hands and legs, and my head felt dizzy.

"Sister, sister, are you okay!?" Roger was frightened, rolled over and went to check on Angelina.

"I'm fine, let's enter the secret passage immediately..."

"Okay, come in, this is come."

Roger made a guilty expression and hid in the secret passage with Angelina in his arms.

Angelina grabbed a corner of her robe and whispered: "Don't worry, my sister is really fine and I won't blame you."

"Sister, you are so kind."

A hero saves a beauty?

No, to deal with Angelina, you have to give her a chance to save herself!
