Chapter 223 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 plain scroll, raised her hand to signal the slave to take it, and presented it to her.

After letting the slave take the scroll, Onus put down his hands and lowered them on both sides of his body. He looked at Stephanie and Strong confidently. I believe that the plan that my king came up with will 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 Stephanie mentioned was that Richard referred to the Iberian wedding of later generations and proposed a plan to form the two countries into a United Kingdom. According to Richard's idea, the two kingdoms will still be 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 and become the United Kingdom of Winster-Ravanna.

"I'll wait," Ornus replied.

Strong quickly finished browsing Onus's scroll, he put it down, and then said: "Your Excellency Onus, 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 a major concern for him, but also a concern for 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 area, the currency was called silver taira, which weighed 0.065 grams, of which only one-fifth of silver was used, 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, if you want to support the large-scale implementation of such silver coins, you must have a silver mine with a large storage capacity. However, throughout the country, only the Cunha region has a smaller silver mine that can be mined.This silver mine had become exhausted after years of mining.

In desperation, Richard could only order to increase the mining of the silver mine, while sending cavalry across the country to search for undiscovered minerals.

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 scripts used by the countries in the Wadasia Peninsula are the same, otherwise Richard would have to work hard to promote a wave of books with the same text.

……

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 mine is located deep in a dense forest, which has prevented it from being discovered by humans before.All in all, Richard, as the first discoverer, made a profit.

As soon as he learned 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 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.

This is the first church in the Kingdom of Winster and the first church in the world. It is expected to be completed in the summer of the following year. This is really a pity because it will not be able to witness the holy 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.
