Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 218: Reach a consensus

In the end, the two sides decided on the wedding location in Nuremberg on Kuban 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 country. , In order to avoid contradictions, set it on Richard’s first fief in Kuban Island.

Then, Ornus continued to discuss with Strong on the issue of whether the two countries are united or united after the wedding. Of course, it is impossible for Strong to agree to the unity. Not only did he disagree, but also Queen Stephanie. Frowning, Ornus had anticipated this. He took out the scroll Richard had given before departure, took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is my king's order. For you, it contains the future ideas of the two countries after their wedding."

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

Allowing the servant to take over the scroll, Ornus put down his hands, hung down on both sides of his body, and looked at Stephanie and Strong confidently. I believe that the plan the king came up with would not be wrong. Picking up the scroll presented by the servant, pulling apart the red string tied on it, and then unfolding it, Stephanie carefully reviewed the content on it. She looked at it, and her beautiful face showed a touch of surprise. After reading it, she sent the scroll to Strong and said: "Your Excellency Ornus, I don’t have any comments on King Richard’s proposal. However, the specific answer will not be conveyed until after the cabinet meeting. you."

Stephanie’s proposal was that Richard referred to the Iberian marriage of later generations and proposed a plan to form the two countries into the United Kingdom. According to Richard’s idea, the two kingdoms are still separate on the surface after marriage. Independence, but in fact, the king and queen make decisions and make the government affairs of the country. The complete union of the two countries will be completed after their descendants inherit the thrones of the two kings.

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

Strong quickly read the scroll of Ornus, he put it down, and then said: "Your Excellency Ornus, I have a question. After the United Kingdom is merged, will the cabinets of the two countries merge together?"

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

"Of course it will not be merged." Ornus replied with a smile on his face: "After the formation of the United Kingdom, the cabinets of the two countries will continue to remain and each will assist the emperor in managing the country's government affairs."

Strong, who got the answer he wanted, nodded. With Ornus's answer, he believed that the cabinet would not be too resistant to it in subsequent cabinet meetings. ...

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 Cunha, there was a conflict between the currencies in circulation between the two places. In the Winster region, the currency is called Yintai, and its weight is 0.065 grams, of which only one-fifth of silver, and the rest are copper and others. An alloy made of a mixture of metals; while the currency circulating in Cunha is called the cous coin, which weighs about 0.053 grams, and its fineness is better than silver terra, because it contains one-third of silver.

Before the two places were merged, the currency in circulation would not have any impact, but after the Cunha region was incorporated into the kingdom's territory, it would cause financial chaos. Therefore, under the advice of the Treasurer, Richard put the reform of the currency system on the agenda. According to his idea, the Royal Government will introduce a new currency. This currency will be called the mark, and its weight will be lower than before. Two models are heavier at 1.5 grams. The silver content is 0.7 grams.

However, in order to support the large-scale implementation of such silver coins, it is necessary to have a large silver mine. However, across the country, only Cunha has a smaller silver mine that can be mined. And this silver mine became exhausted after years of mining.

In desperation, Richard could only order to increase the mining of the silver mine while sending cavalry to look 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 currency. They are more willing to dissolve gold and shape it into statues and other artworks.

Fortunately, the languages ​​and scripts used by all the countries of the Valdasia Peninsula are the same, otherwise Richard would have to work hard to promote a wave of books and writings on the same track.

...

After nearly a month of inspections, Richard still got a good news. In a small mountain range led by Ulif, the horse sergeant sent out found a medium-sized silver mine, which seems to be because of this silver. The location of the mine is in the depths of a dense forest ~lightnovelpub.net~ to avoid being discovered by humans before this. All in all, Richard, as the first discoverer, made it.

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 to mobilize materials and prepare to start the investigation of the silver mine in a short period of 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 supervision of the military chaplain. The sketch of the Gothic church submitted by the cardinal and court priest Peter Scanrel was also processed. After Chad's review and simple changes, it was passed, and construction began on the ruins of the house in the noble district that had been demolished.

The first church in the Kingdom of Winster, and the first church in the world, is expected to be completed in the summer of the following year. This is really a shame, because it cannot witness the sacred wedding of Richard and Stephanie.

In addition, Ornus von Frank, the head of foreign affairs of the Kingdom of Ravana, also led the mission back to Nord City and reported to Richard the results obtained in Ravana City. After the lobbying and bribery of Ornus, the Cabinet of the Kingdom of Ravana unanimously passed the resolution of the United Kingdom after the king’s marriage. In order to appease the nobles and people of the two countries, the king and the queen need to After the arrival of the spring next year, we will go out together and tour the whole country.

This did not disagree with Richard. In fact, he also wanted to go to the countryside, go deep into the castles of the nobles, go into the families of common people, and learn more about the living environment of the people in the Middle Ages, and contribute to the implementation of government affairs in the future. A reference-although he is not the kind of king who single-mindedly consider the happiness of the people, he does not want the people under his control to live in a dire environment.
