"How about that, old man? How's it going?

"Oh, there's no big problem so far. Or rather, it has a good reputation for rarity. Some people ask me to exchange my own coins for Vulcan silver."

"I like it. Keep up the good work."

Money making started in Vulcania.

A new coin called the Barca Silver coin made there is traded at the Barca Bank.

The design of the Balkan silver coin decided by the painter was the clock tower on the front and the Valkyrie on the back.

I think it's a pretty good choice.

The clock tower was built by Barca, but it was modeled after the clock tower in the city of Fontana.

It may have the effect of giving the impression that it belongs to the Kingdom of Fontana, even though it is a Balkan silver coin.

Moreover, it is similar to the simplified clock towers made everywhere, so it can be said to be a design that is common in all of the Kingdom of Fontana.

The Valkyrie on the back is as balka-like as ever, so there is no problem.

Well, at first, I was told to spend my face on silver, but I firmly rejected it.

The bulka silver coin is actually used.

First, this new silver coin was used to repay short-term Balkan banknotes.

I used this silver coin to repay my loan when I borrowed it from someone who had money before.

The silver blend rate was the same as the existing silver coins, but I was worried what to do if it was too popular.

But apparently it was somehow accepted.

It used to look like there was a lot of silver in Barca, so there might have been credibility that it would not go bankrupt immediately.

Well, anyway, the new silver set out as super local money.

But this wasn't the end of the Balkan bank's move to create the Balkan silver coins.

At this time, I decided to make it work as a bank.

At this time, the business of Vulcan Bank was mainly twofold.

One is to borrow money by issuing a Vulcan bank note to someone who has money.

In contrast, we also lend them.

Agricultural land improvements have been made to each Knight's Land to make the land in the Fontana kingdom more abundant, but at that time they are demanding a considerable amount of money.

But the Balkans lent the money to the knights who couldn't pay it or get it ready.

Nowadays, in addition to improving farmland, roads and tracks are being laid, and some knights borrow money to do so.

But borrowing money is not the only thing that banks do.

The first thing I came up with was an exchange.

Exchange coins currently in circulation.

I exchanged several coins at the right rate, but I also prepared some to exchange old silver for bulka silver.

Because I think that even a little bit of Balkan silver coins will flow to the market and be used in practice.

There are deposits in another banking business that I started.

I'll deposit the money with the Vulcan Bank.

That's how it works.

There is no interest even if I keep it instead of taking a fee.

But this was better than I thought.

Create an account with the Vulcan bank in Vulcania and put the money there.

The Vulcan bank will hand over the bill when it deposits the money.

The owner of an account who receives a bill of lading that is determined to be several silver coins per bill will be able to withdraw the bill from the account if he holds it.

Could it be like a ticket or a coupon?

Looks like this is good.

Coins such as silver coins are surprisingly heavy.

Carrying a jalajara is synonymous with carrying a lump of metal in a sense.

Sometimes I wonder if it's a muscle stretch.

But what if it was a Vulcan bill?

You can withdraw at any time by going to the Vulcan Bank.

You don't have to carry silver or anything.

The Vulcan Bank has a solid security system in place to pull it out whenever you need it.

It's a much safer place to store money than an ordinary household.

But even so, it may be natural to be anxious to say, "Will the money I deposit really be returned?"

But it seemed good that I ran a bank that was the owner of the Barca family.

He looks like he's using bambang gold, but he's never been in a situation where he might go bankrupt because of his cash flow problems.

At least the public doesn't know I've been short of money many times.

The barca acquired a new silver mountain and made it into barca silver coins.

I suppose it seems less risky to keep money than anything else.

And there was a bigger factor than that.

It was information flowing from the radio as it was every day.

Speaking of which, have you already deposited the money in the bank?

"What are you talking about? What did you say about depositing money in a bank?

What, you don't even know that? You're late. The only bank I have right now is the Balkan Bank. Keep the money and keep it safe. It's the only safe place they'll ever steal. "

Heh, did you bother to deposit the money with someone? Well, it's time to do something new. You're depositing money with that Balkan bank. "

Bayah. I'm not. My wife left my money for herself. Don't let me gamble in the playground. "

Wahahaha. I see. Your wife would rather protect her husband's money than a thief. That's fine. "

Uuuuuu. That's not funny. Thanks to you, I haven't been betting for days, so my intuition is dull. "

The stories that come out of the radio talk about the new business of the Balkan Bank every day.

A variety of radio personalities are actively talking about deposits and other things.

Well, that's because I said to the personalities, "Say hello to the Vulcan Bank."

Naturally, I am also at the top of the Barca Culture Broadcasting Station, so few people say badly about my bank.

So, listening to the daily radio broadcasts, I started to think about using the bank in every household.

As a result, Balkan silver coins were beginning to spread slightly around Vulcania.

Unlike outside the kingdom of Fontana, which was still in turmoil, there was time for peace.
