The Economics of Prophecy

"I heard merchants rule both kingdoms and empires. I want you to let me know what happens to the state."

Oh, it's broken.

.................. is a joke. Craig wouldn't be surprised if he noticed. What I explained, in short, is that it greatly expands the power of commerce to deal with liquid assets. The power of aristocracy, which deals with fixed assets in relative terms, falls.

In a previous life, derivatives such as banknotes with no entity, securities with relatives, and relatives of their friends were flirting with the world economy. But even in those days......

"Earlier, I explained the value of information and credit. Credit is power."

I keep looking at Craig's face.

"So what is ultimate credibility? It's a guarantee of life. It is life that any human being in any capacity, regardless of the wealth he owns, has only one as well. In other words, what is the greatest credibility…"

I saw the knights surrounding Craig.

"It's force. That doesn't change more than what matters most to humans is their lives, such as themselves and their families."

That was true in the world Chiku, which seemed to be equivalent in at least a few hundred, no, thousand years. Security is special. A social order is formed around security. The base currency dollar consisted because it had been granted credit by overwhelming military power.

Of course force isn't everything, and it's not great. But no one can be scared to experiment with pulling it out. No, I don't think we should. Assuming a world where force has been expelled, it is the world where rearmament interests are paramount. Besides, it has no power to prevent someone from rearming.

"Let's say the Knights are worth it. What happens to the politics of the state"

Craig said.

"I dare you. In order for the objects in the box to move violently, it makes sense that the box should be sturdy. If our merchants are going to be more active than ever, I wonder if the box called State should also be strengthened. That's why I called the new city royal jurisdiction."

If I let the merchant go wild, that's what makes me broke. There is a role for each person who deals with liquid objects, "ginger", and "blame", who deals with objects even if there is no liquidity. It is growth that the strongest contradiction and the strongest shield continue to collide, and that is not a contradiction. No, it's a necessary contradiction.

Me and Craig's gaze bumps. I can see the knights stiffening Craig's perimeter. You will detain me with one Lord's command.

"It must be hard to be Ricardo's box. Well, how about this time? Sure, this is only a discussion between the merchants, and they say we're outsiders. Besides, Ricardo and I will have as many opportunities to talk in the future."

I'm finally out of my sight. Conditional approval, I guess. Peace returned to the field. Come on, it's time for everyone on the platform to resume their turns.

"Even if it is possible to deal with warcraft. businesses of this size. How do you manage that enormous amount of money and the enormous risks"

"With regard to this, I am thinking about the format and the company that was held at the Shaoxian Festival with the members of the Central Garden. I procure by issuing shares to the desired chambers of commerce, mainly the chambers of commerce that have now gathered here for me. It's a form of setting up a new chamber of commerce to run the futures market."

Stock My company is a mechanism originally created for the risk spread of dangerous distant voyages. And the other benefit is......

"Said it wasn't Vinder's monopoly"

"Naturally. Look at that. Where among us are the personnel who can do that? We're just the emerging Silver Chamber of Commerce."

Everyone laughed when I said just the facts as they were. So I don't have the ability to take laughter by calculation.

"Earlier KK, but is it possible for the Kingdom to fund it?

Euphilia said. Vinder has funds for Grand Duke Bertoldo. Since the new company will take the form of co-financing with other chambers of commerce, Grand Duke Bertoldo's equity will be diluted. I want you to forgive me because I will try to increase my profits.

"I'd like to avoid it if I could, but I'll leave it as an option. Anyway, it's not just the Kingdoms who throw more money than it is the KK."

"Are you going to let the Imperials bite you too?"

"Because it is in the advantages of KK that people of different positions can pursue the common good. Of course, that is a story of a distant future. The majority of the votes will be adjusted so that the first Member can have them. If the trust in the city itself is increased, it's through the issuance of bonds, etc. And this was also too much ahead of us."

I'm not talking about what that bond means right now. Speaking of which, it seems that the bonds of the East Indian company had the creditworthiness of British Treasury bonds. The East Indian company became ”Empire” and it didn't work. No, because I won't do it to the East Indian company.

Well, if economic growth were as I thought it would be, it would be then because there would be a shortage of currency in the future. Firstly, the extermination of Wyburn, and its establishment as a mere exchange of supplies. How long will it take to open the futures market?

"What's the name of the new Chamber of Commerce?

Lilka asked. I heard he was going to be late, but he was in the venue at some point.

"Well, it's hard to..."

I saw the young men in charge of the future of the food guild.

"Would you like to keep it with the Central Garden"

It was meant to be the courtyard of the college, but it was much larger.

◇ ◇

Vinaldia rushes up to me for a big part. And I hugged Natalie. Says you worked hard.

From the conference room, they even send me to the guild chief, and I'm relative to Craig and Euphoria again. I'm not talking about commerce from here on out.

"But is it really possible to open the realm of the Warcraft, etc."

Yes, the commercial story up until just now ignores the existence of the Warcraft. And this story isn't very good, but I can't do it in that situation. I don't know why this question didn't come up on that occasion, because Craig was there.

"Technically possible. In fact, the Empire has crossed the Great River using its magic guide."

"The most elite troops will finally use massive demonic crystals"

"If we can capture the circuit technology of the magic wand secured in the showdown on the Greenesian territory into the basic technology of the magic circuit developed by the Great Sage and Noel, we believe that that fiery magic guide costs a quarter and is twice as powerful as it is achievable. At least."

"Although I have received reports. I hear you're struggling too much with the magic of the kingdom."

"Yes, I believe that if the experiment to examine the very nature of the magic we are doing right now is successful and the nature of the magic itself becomes more apparent, it will also allow a lot of analysis with regard to unknown circuits. Later, it can be created with magic silver, not magic gold. Surely there are resources within the kingdom, even if there are not many."

I dared to emphasize the magic silver. It is significant that resources exist in the country, even though they are not currently mined, rather than being highly dependent on the Empire for their magic tricks. However…….

"However, as far as I'm concerned, you want to capture the technology of the Imperial Magic Circuit under cooperation. Because time efficiency is completely different."

Naturally Craig's face gets tough.

"I heard that joint research will not include weapons development."

"Yes. So far the plan has not even gone one step further. It's just basic magic research."

I nod strangely. Security is something else.

"But in the future, if we don't do it, we believe it is the kingdom that will be in distress. This is the symbol."

I showed Craig the Deep Red Demon Crystal. It's a loot from the horse dragon squad he took prisoner of.

"That was a special demonic crystal for a broken castle hammer. Says he's storing a lot of magic."

"Yes. They can take it with a demonic vein deep in the empire. If the wounds of defeat heal, the Empire will work to further develop these resources. Either way, you could reach around the mountains of blood."

I went to Craig. Paradigm shifts are actually taking place at the time of the birth of the Magic Guide. Actually, it's close to a situation where an industrial revolution was unleashed on an enemy country. It is currently antagonized by agriculture and population. However, agricultural progress cannot be beaten by industrial progress.

Assuming from Maitir's story, the Blood Mountains are oil fields or uranium mines. The overwhelming situation over there with energy resources is the worst I can think of.

"It's impossible to maintain the status quo."

Probably been thinking about it. In general, this fight is peculiar. The Empire attacked us by deciding that it was easier to win than the Magic Instruction, and the kingdom used its hand to repel it. Craig knows how he won the horse dragon.

"Fortunately, at present, the Empire lacks even the strength to defend its national territory from warcraft. To reduce the risk of the future, take advantage of this opportunity to completely destroy the Empire…"

"A common enemy called the Warcraft, the development of the resources of the Blood Mountains, as a common good."

The empire is mountainous. The land itself is a fortress if it is thoroughly guarded. Besides, the Warcraft travels. If the Royal Army stepped in without the knowledge of the Warcraft, it wouldn't just inhabit. I don't even know where the safety zone is.

Of course, the kingdom has a trump card called food. It's just that even if we win by pushing the humans of our enemy countries into hunger, all the more so, the kingdom won't be able to govern a completely different society.

Golden time in the kingdom is not long. Except, of course, if the Imperial Devil's Vessel is revitalized again, in which case a bigger problem could arise.

"So you're saying this city is a painting you've thought about so much."

"This city can only exist in that way. You can't be separated from the kingdom or from the empire. And if kingdoms and empires flourish, so will this city."

If you look for something similar to Earth, I guess it's a Singapore positioning. I will not make it an East Indian company.

"Given the abnormality of the demonic vein yesterday, I've never crossed it in a hurry. Besides, this city will be the common heritage of mankind if it becomes the main hub for the control of the demonic veins and warcraft."

I dared to show it to you. Of course, what makes me more anxious than that about the future is the unusual fluctuations in the demonic veins of yesterday. I'm sorry it's too late when I find out. When that happens, it's Alfina who eats the most.

"If the current joint research goes ahead, we want you to discuss what lies ahead with the Empire."

I said. I was able to squeeze out at that time because it was an anomaly during the war. I want to leave it to you more than I normally do.

"I see, I understand"

Craig nodded as he stared at the map. Euphiria nods next door as well. These two are really helpful to talk about. Speaking of which, one more......

"Um, Master Alfina is today..."

I guess the crystal isn't suddenly reacting or something. Even though I was anxious, Euphilia laughed.

"Well, do you care"

"... No, Master Alfina is also a major shareholder of Vinder, so I need to explain"

"Are you still Master Alfina...... Well, actually, the guy Alfie wanted to see today."

"Is this a meeting..."

"Did you care who my sister-in-law took precedence over this important story?"

Don't worry, she's not a woman.

You two look at me like it's funny.

"Oh, I'm not worried about that. I was just worried that something was wrong with the crystal."

I didn't say no....... I can't deny that I was taking it for granted that Alfina was coming.
