On the flip side, it would also be difficult to easily raise or lower the prices of things related to the value of gold or silver coins.

The more stable a country’s gold and silver production is, and the less likely it is to suddenly skyrocket, the more dangerous it is in times like these.

In Rishe’s previous life, she certainly saw countries with gold veins that fell in such situations.

Back then, Koyor stated that the lack of gold and silver production was due to the closing of mines for them to devote manpower to the war against Garkhain. In reality, however, their mines had dried up.

If this were to happen, even if the war was averted, the price of gold and silver would inevitably soar in each country.

“Does Garkhain also conduct regular coin minting?”

“It is necessary in order to prevent the production of counterfeit coins. In light of the situation with Koyor we got this time, this should be put to action now.”

“Are you planning to replace the currency of Garkhain with one that contains less gold and silver?”

Arnold turned his gaze toward the sea.

“…Yeah.”

It was a somewhat vague sounding reply for him.

“By doing so, we can manufacture gold and silver coins using less gold and silver than ever before…If we can get the surplus gold and silver to other countries, we can keep exchange rates from rising too high.”

“…Relieving other countries is necessary for Garkhain as well.”

“That’s right. In order for this country to be wealthy, the countries with which we trade must also be wealthy.”

Arnold’s notion of national politics was similar to trade, which Rishe knew.

Even merchants would be foolish to keep their wealth to themselves.

It didn’t matter if only one person had assets, but if everyone around him couldn’t afford things, there would be no new profits he could reap.

“Is the main reason why Your Highness Arnold has been visiting the money changers in this city, to find out if there are any fluctuations in the gold and silver markets in other countries?”

“What if I told you it was?”

Arnold chuckled and flicked the document that Rishe handed him with the back of his middle finger.

“How could you have gone so far as to find out the information I wanted? I didn’t mean to give you a hint.”

Because I know the future.

Even though the cause was hidden, she saw with her own eyes how Koyor stopped exporting gold and silver, and how this caused economic turmoil in many countries.

Observing Arnold’s actions and calculating backwards from that future, she somehow arrived at this conclusion.

Rishe was amazed that Arnold was able to move with such precision, despite having only information about what was happening at the moment.

…No, there is one future that His Highness also knows about.

There would be economic turmoil everywhere in a few years, and the main cause was another.

The war Arnold would wage.

The battles involving the nations of the world would simply exhaust the weaker nations and cause the more powerful nations to spend large amounts of money on their military.

Perhaps His Highness’ actions are based on the premise that he will eventually start a war of his own.

Rishe gently lowered her eyes.

Although she thought she had taken a lot of measures, in the end, she still felt like she hadn’t changed anything.

I wonder if coinage was really the purpose of His Highness Arnold’s visit to this city.

She took a deep breath as a tingle of frustration smoldered her.

“Puff.”

The white hat she was wearing was blown away by the sea breeze.

Rishe stood up hurriedly and chased after the hat that had flown far away. Just then, a figure came down from the stairs leading to the castle.

“Hi, the rain has completely stopped.”

“…Your Highness Curtis.”

Raul picked up Rishe’s hat and narrowed his red eyes, walking toward them with a smirk.
