A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1683 - : 458 Coin Issuance Plan with Eastern Immortal Ape_3
Chapter 1683: 458 Coin Issuance Plan with Eastern Immortal Ape_3
“The name of the currency still requires careful consideration.”
“Do you think ‘Cemetery Coin’ or ‘Matthew Coin’ sounds better?”
“I think ‘Matthew Coin’ is not bad, abbreviated as ‘Ma Coin’.”
Matthew’s face showed hesitation.
Patton hurriedly said:
“You really can’t refuse this.”
...
“Without your or the cemetery’s prestige to back it, the new currency in the Rolling Stone Kingdom would be nothing but a piece of waste paper.”
“If you think this plan is not feasible, at least point out another way for me, one that can resolve the debt problem of the Rolling Stone Kingdom…”
Matthew blinked:
“Charging a toll for the bridge could be tried.”
“But regarding the matter of the Ma Coin, I think it still needs further consideration.”
“I’m not opposing your plan, I just feel the plan needs to be perfected before it can be implemented.”
“I know Rheager’s policies indeed supported too many idlers, but a sudden shift to the other extreme could trigger even greater turmoil.”
Patton gave a bitter smile:
“Of course, I won’t issue currency recklessly and spoil your reputation, you can be assured of that.”
“Every year, the currency issuance plan will need your review, and I’ll also transfer a portion of the profits from the coinage tax to you.”
“I have considered all these.”
Matthew bit his lip:
“What does Mr. Zeller say?”
Patton replied:
“He said it’s up to you to decide.”
Matthew sighed.
He grabbed the proposal back and scrutinized it with furrowed brows.
After dawn.
Matthew emerged from the King’s office, looking a little weary.
The currency issuance was just an appetizer in King Patton’s series of reforms.
The previous night.
He had presented several more influential and daring fiscal plans.
Matthew vetoed some of them.
But he approved others.
Among them, the most important were the charging of tolls for the bridge, ceasing the free supply of food, and the issuance plan for the Ma Coin—
In the end.
Matthew still agreed to the name ‘Matthew Coin.’
There was no choice.
Without this name, it’s debatable whether there would be any point in issuing it at all.
The power of reputation was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
Since the Name on Everyone’s Lips battle and the Lost Paradise incident.
Matthew had become a household name throughout the world of Aindor, his reputation only below that of the Alliance Seven Saints and people like Edmond, leading well ahead of other rising talents within the Alliance.
In the south especially, within the Rolling Stone Kingdom, he was revered as a Patronus.
The issuance of the Ma Coin was also seen as a way to further cement Matthew’s reputation.
Although for him personally, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.
But he saw Patton’s difficulties; the man truly deserves his reputation as a former tax officer, with first-rate financial acumen and eloquence.
Ultimately, Matthew was persuaded by him.
And after leaving the city hall.
Matthew’s only thought was:
“I hope Patton can take it easy, at the very least, I hope that years from now, the Matthew Coin doesn’t become just a stack of toilet paper…”
…
A few days later.
On the southeast side of Rolling Stone City.
At the Black Water River of the astral world.
A series of intricate grey tentacles burst from the center of the wasteland, instantly wrapping around all the nearby demon remnants.
Sizzling!
White smoke began rising from the bodies of the demons, and soon after, one by one, they were dead!
Plop plop plop!
Rustle rustle!
The bodies of the demons fell limply to the ground, then slowly got up again, turning into a group of lifeless Dark Servants.
Matthew, holding the Yeager Blade, walked past this freshly made group of Dark Servants, his gaze a bit unfocused.
He was checking the dense list of records in the data column.
…
“Alert: Your task ‘Slaughter, Only to Protect!’ has updated with fresh progress!

You can even use this spell to communicate with non-living objects)”
…
The mission ‘Name on Everyone’s Lips’ came to an end after Matthew repelled the demon army;
But ‘Slaughter, Only to Protect’ has continued up to today, half a year later.
Matthew guessed it’s because the Slaughter Demon Lord Asner and his remnants were still widely active on the Aindor continent.
That’s why, during this half-year.
He never ceased his campaign against the demon soldiers.
These four powers and spells, rooted in the Druid profession, were clear evidence.
However, Matthew was more concerned with the title of Guardian of Humanity.
And this random legendary Shapeshifting Form!
