Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Just when Ethan was about to perfunctorily pass it over, Inzaghi took a document from his companion and handed it to Ethan.

He handed it over and said with a smile: "I heard that Your Excellency the Great Sword Saint has been promoting paper money recently, but because of the non-cooperation of the Holy Light Church, the progress has been a bit slow.

We in the Temple Church have been paying attention to this matter, and we also admire your feat very much, and have always hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate.

Now it is a rare trip to Maro City, just to fulfill this wish.

If you don't mind, please take a look at this document, maybe it can help a little."

Ethan frowned when he heard it, then took the document and flipped through a few pages casually.

After seeing this, Ethan immediately took a breath of cold air, the content inside was so explosive that it was completely beyond imagination.

"Your Church and His Majesty the Emperor..." At this point, Ethan suddenly realized that there were a lot of people present.

And the content in the document is not suitable for too many people to know.

So he turned his head and glanced at Embiid.

Embid understood at the time and wanted to take other irrelevant people away.

But a high-ranking knight accompanying Inzaghi refused to leave no matter what.

He even had a conflict with Embiid, and the two pushed each other.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Inzaghi smiled at the high-ranking knight and said, "You can go down too! It's just a moment alone, there won't be any problem.

And there's an invincible ascender here, there won't be any problem."

Hearing the bishop's order, the high-ranking knight bowed to Ethan to express his gratitude, and then retreated.

After an unpleasant episode, only Ethan and Inzaghi were left in the yacht's reception room.

At this time, Ethan started the previous topic: "Have your church and His Majesty the Emperor really decided to support the promotion of paper money in Maro City?"

"Of course!" Inzaghi smiled and spread his hands: "The documents are already in your hands, and they must not be faked. We have even planned the specific steps.

Sir Ethan, in fact, we have been studying your paper currency policy.

After repeated discussions, we all agree that the paper money issued by Maro City will not only facilitate small transactions for ordinary people, but also realize the value of large-scale trade.

This will greatly improve economic development and is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

Although there are certain risks, overall, the flaws do not outweigh the merits!

And we are not the Holy Light Church, we don't Will not stop something that benefits the country and the people for that little bit of profit.

Not only will we not stop it, we will also encourage it.

Before, due to various reasons, we have not been able to participate.

Now that I am here, and have the opportunity to have a good chat with you, we will cherish this opportunity.

Perhaps you still doubt our sincerity, then I will make another statement.

I know very well the purpose of your invitation to me this time. If I guess correctly, you must want to force the Holy Light Church to compromise.

How about this, I will cooperate with you in any way you need me to cooperate with you.

In short, the Holy Light Church must bow to you. "

When Inzaghi said these words, he always kept smiling, giving people an extremely sincere feeling.

This gave Ethan an illusion that the other party had the same idea as him, and issuing paper money was only for the benefit of the country and the people.

Of course, Ethan knew that things were definitely not that simple.

So he smiled and said, "What do you want?"

Seeing that Ethan seemed to be interested, Inzaghi smiled and stretched out two fingers, saying, "Two points!

First, you must increase the banknote reserve from 60% to more than 85%.

The proportion that can be freely distributed cannot exceed 15% to avoid possible risks.

I think you should understand that although the proportion you can distribute is reduced, due to the increase in size, the actual income will definitely increase compared to the current level.

And we will not participate in your distribution. Those incomes are rewards for your creation, issuance, and promotion of banknotes.

It is also what you deserve.

However, although we do not participate in the distribution, we require the right to supervise the reserve.

After all, that is the last guarantee for the safety of banknotes. We must ensure its security and transparency.

Second, we hope that the city of Maro will fully support us in establishing the Customs Department and support our tariff policy to ensure national tax revenue."

When Ethan heard the other party say the first point, he thought he had heard it wrong.

The other party's request was equivalent to no request, and he was still trying his best to ensure the safety of banknotes.

But when he heard the second request, Ethan understood the other party's real intention.

The other party's goal is to establish a customs office in exchange for the promotion of paper money.

After the establishment of the customs office, it will gradually begin to preach to Maro City.

How could Ethan agree to this condition?

If the Temple Church is allowed to come in, Maro City will become a region where two religions coexist in the future. No one knows what kind of chaos it will be.

It was also at this moment that Ethan calmed down from the initial excitement of learning that the Temple Church would support the promotion of paper money.

Thinking carefully, although the Temple Church and His Majesty the Emperor said they were helping to promote it, they couldn't really help much.

At most, they could provide some legal help.

But paper money is anchored to food. If you want to truly promote paper money, what you need most is not legal recognition, but the right to operate food.

And the right to operate food in most parts of the empire is in the hands of the Holy Light Church.

Therefore, they can hardly provide much practical help.

Instead of looking for them, it is better to look for the Holy Light Church. Anyway, the result is the same, and there is a practical guarantee.

As for their desire to set up a customs office in Maro City, that is impossible, impossible in a lifetime, don't even think about it.

After understanding everything, Ethan instantly knew what to do.

However, he did not directly reject the other party.

After all, the simplest principle of life is that you should agree to others happily, and reject others in a tactful way.

So Ethan pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "I will seriously consider your suggestion!"

When Inzaghi heard Ethan say that he would consider it, he knew that Ethan had actually refused.

Of course, he also knew what Ethan was worried about.

It's nothing more than worrying about the reputation of the Temple Church, worrying that the two religions will coexist in Maro City in the future, and worrying that the people will live in poverty in the future.

Thinking of this, Inzaghi smiled bitterly.

However, he did not persuade Ethan to accept his suggestion, but suddenly talked about Maximilian, the emperor of the Holy Empire a thousand years ago.

"Sir Ethan, do you know why Maximilian, the first emperor of the Holy Empire, is called a tyrant?"

Ethan didn't understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this, but he still followed the other party's wishes and said, "I would like to hear more about it!"

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Inzaghi slowly said:

"As the first emperor in human history to unify the empire, he was described as an ignorant and arrogant tyrant who levied heavy taxes, built large-scale projects, and imposed excessive corvee labor.

But is this really the case?

From what we know so far, isn't it a bit ridiculous to say that he is ignorant and arrogant?

The laws he promulgated clearly stipulate that The same writing system and the same wheel gauge.

He also unified the currency and weights and measures.

Which of these does not show his wisdom?

It is precisely because of this law that we now speak the same language and write the same writing wherever we go.

It is equally ridiculous to say that he levied heavy taxes and built large-scale projects.

If he had not levied heavy taxes and built large-scale projects, where would the 17 fortresses that have protected mankind for thousands of years come from?

The same is true for saying that he levied corvée indiscriminately.

Without those 17 fortresses, he would not have levied corvée, and the orcs would have levied it for him.

At that time, do you think anyone would dare to accuse the orcs of levying corvée indiscriminately? "
