"But the answer I got was very difficult."

Natalie frowned and bit her lip gently, unable to bear to see her husband look sad again.

"If you want to mint paper money and use paper money to replace metal coins, that means that the royal family must take back all the right to mint money, and order all regions within the entire empire to exchange paper money for metal coins."

"It may not matter to the common people, because they don't have much money to begin with. But to the nobles... well, it's those nobles again."

"For those nobles, if they want to exchange metal currency for banknotes, they must bring their currency to the exchange office designated by me. In the process, of course, I can check all their accounts and know what they have.

How much property is there? It’s equivalent to a property survey across the entire empire.”

"Do you think those nobles will be willing to let me investigate how much money they have?"

"Now, when our empire's treasury is getting smaller and smaller, they all cry out that they are poor, but no one says how much money they have and is willing to contribute to help the empire relieve this series of urgent needs."

"Just like the drought that has lasted for two years, the nobles are harvesting the land one by one with great joy. Have you ever seen anyone who is willing to open a warehouse to store grain and give the common people a way to survive? Once you encounter them,

The peasants revolted, and one by one they immediately applied for funds from me on the pretext of counter-insurgency, as if they could never kill all the rebels. The more they counter-insurgency, the more the number of rebels increased. In this case

Next time I say that we need to conduct currency exchange, those nobles will immediately start a quarrel."

Natalie finally understood this. She nodded slightly and said, "So... there is nothing we can do?"

Menglang sighed again and said slowly: "Ariel issued banknotes at the border, and then used the food income from Pelican City as an exchange guarantee, promising that the food that could be purchased for the original metal coins could be purchased with banknotes.

With the guarantee in place and the relatively small margin, her banknote promotion policy seems to be on track."

"But the problem is, if she continues to promote banknotes, and the Blue Bay Empire cannot promote banknotes at the same time, then once people have a large amount of banknotes in their hands and cannot use them elsewhere in my empire, then there will inevitably be a trend

To protect those notes in their hands, stand with Ariel."

"No one likes a country where their property is not recognized as their own in a blink of an eye. They will only side with the side that is willing to recognize their property. If I say that by blocking the entry and exit lines of marginal provinces, I can gradually be trapped.

If it is a marginal province, then her use of banknotes is gradually penetrating into my country. This can be regarded as a protracted war, and it depends on who can't hold on and surrenders to the other side first."

Natalie's eyes flashed with worry, and she said: "Your Majesty! Now...can't we solve even a marginal province?"

Menglang shook his head slowly and said: "Of course not, but I don't want to spend a lot of energy on such a small marginal province. Ariel can use all his energy to fight against me, but I don't have that much

All my energy is used to deal with her."

"So, I hope to use other methods to solve her problem as soon as possible. If possible, I also hope to avoid fighting with each other as much as possible. A war... It would be too expensive. If I can make her surrender without a fight,

, even if I block her again, it will be less likely to cause dissatisfaction among others. Moreover, if the rebels see this powerful combat force and surrender without a fight, it will be very important to quickly quell all the conflicts in the empire.

Rebellion is also a good thing.”

Natalie's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Then... dear, maybe I am a little woman with little knowledge. I have thought of three ways, I don't know... will it work?
