Chapter 175 (2)
"Yes, we are sacrificing the existing one for a greater purpose. That way, the Goblin Dor can be themon currency of the continent based on the Ducat."
To abandon the Dnt.
It was something the emperor had never even thought of.
"Do we really have to give up the Dnt?"
In response to that question, Rockefeller answered confidently.
"Dant has already lost its trust. Instead of rebuilding that trust, we can simply take the existing trust and use it for ourselves. That is the Ducat."
"......"
Dant had be rather ambiguous as the empire''smon currency at this point.
It was because the Goblin Dor had already reced much of its position.
''Indeed, it has be more difficult to see Dantstely. You can only see them in the royal warehouse or at the bank.''
"So, going forward, the Goblin Dor will be..."
Before the emperor could finish his sentence, a slightly smiling Rockefeller spoke on his behalf.
"It will be issued with the Ducat as coteral."
"......"
"There is no other way. And the Ducat is a gold coin that has gained some trust from all races on the continent. We must use it."
"I never thought the Ducat would be used as coteral... So what happens to the existing Dant?"
"Most of the Dants that were in use are now rotting in the vault. Since people do not go after all the gold coins, we can secretly rece the Dants with Ducats."
Rockefeller continued his exnation.
"I might be exaggerating a bit, but everyone knows that the Ducat contains more pure gold than the Dant. If we encourage the use of Ducats within the empire, no one will prefer Dants with less pure gold. Then, we can separate the Dants into pure gold and copper using magic and alchemy, and create Ducats with the pure gold obtained."
"Will there be no problems in doing so?"
Rockefeller replied with a confident smile.
"Would there be any problems? After all, Ducats are made of gold, and who would object to us making Ducats with the gold we have? Especially when the pure gold content is identical to the existing Ducats. I doubt anyone would raise objections."
"......"
The emperor pondered.
Even if the Ducats produced in the empire had the same pure gold content as the existing Ducats, wouldn''t they be considered the same Ducats?
''And the empire has thergest gold reserves.''
The empire was solidifying its position as the winner of the Gold Vein War.
So the emperor naturally nodded his head.
"I see. Anyway, what does it matter where they are made? In the end, the important thing is the pure gold content of the Ducat."
"Yes, that''s correct. I have no intention of undermining the trust in the Ducat either. If I did, I would lose trust from everyone."
The emperor found it absurd that Rockefeller, who was trying to deceive the whole world with the Goblin Dor, was talking about trust. However, he did not show his feelings and asked another question.
"If the empire allows the use of Ducats, more Ducats may be needed than expected. Do you have a n for that?"
"Yes, of course."
Rockefeller''s words continued immediately.
"Recently, the Goblin Bank has suffered astronomical losses due to two investment failures. So, who do you think has the gold coins, the Ducats, that they lost?"
Two investment failures.
The emperor knew that they were beer and government bonds.
"It must be the empire."
"That''s right. Recently, the amount of Ducats circting in the empire has increased tremendously. That means a lot of gold coins lost by the Goblin Bank have been released into the empire''s market. So, we can take advantage of this situation and secretly rece the Dants with Ducats."
"Will there be no other problems during this process?"
Rockefeller shook his head lightly in response to that question.
"There shouldn''t be any problems. Since the Goblin Dor system is in ce, Ducats won''t be traded much among people. Like Dants, Ducats will be stuck in the vault and move only on paper. So no one will know that their gold coins are being exchanged from Dants to Ducats."
"I see."
"And when the timees, you can announce that the empire will use only Ducats instead of Dants. Then we will naturally switch to using Ducats instead of the untrusted Dants. And this is the first step for our Goblin Dor to be themon currency on the continent."
The emperor began to nod as if he understood.
''If the Goblin Dor is based on the Ducat rather than the Dant... not only the people of the empire but also others may prefer the Goblin Dor. After all, the Goblin Dor can be exchanged for Ducats within the empire.''
It seemed that one issue had been resolved.
Now, thest problem remained.
It was the necessity.
"Even if we establish the trust of the Goblin Dor with the Ducat, will everyone in the world use it?"
Rockefeller''s confident smile continued here as well.
"If there was no need to use it, why would the Goblin Dor be used somonly in the empire instead of the Dant?"
"That''s because... taxes can only be paid in Goblin Dors."
"That''s true, but actually, the Goblin Dor has been used quite a bit even before that. It''s just that some people were avoiding it because its trustworthiness was not certain."
The emperor, who expressed doubt, began to be convinced.
''Well, it''s much more convenient to use the paper Goblin Dor than the cumbersome gold coins.''
"Still, it seems verycking. Can''t we make all races on the continent prefer the Goblin Dor more?"
"There are several ways to do that. One of them is this."
Rockefeller continued his exnation.
"Since we have the most gold in the continent, we will force all races to conduct gold transactions in Goblin Dors. In other words, if you want to buy gold, you must have Goblin Dors," Rockefeller exined.
