Tauren Overlord

However, the royalist party itself is relatively weak and may not be able to provide sufficient help to Lu Heng.

As for the Sea Alliance, if Lu Heng really wanted to cooperate with them, he might as well talk to them directly instead of relying on the royalists.

Now that the righteous cause has been chosen, how can we make them believe that Lu Heng is really good to them?

The easiest way is to be really nice to them.

Fortunately...or unfortunately, the old farmer Taimenia has suffered too much, so Lu Heng doesn't need to rack his brains to come up with a lot of welfare policies.

As long as he learns some experiences from his hometown and adopts some people-friendly measures that may not even be modern, he can effectively improve their lives.

192. Digital Currency System

By the end of July of the year 1204 in the Kuzhu calendar, everything was moving in a good direction.

After being promoted to the second rank, Rosa's new change is that she can choose to produce two first-level psychic crystals a day, or one second-level psychic crystal in two days.

The maximum psychic energy storage capacity of a second-level psychic crystal is five times that of a first-level psychic crystal.

It can act as a "psychic power bank" and can also "ripen" ordinary people into spellcasters, and the success rate of second-order crystals in creating spellcasters is significantly higher than that of first-order crystals.

This somewhat subverts the historical legends of the Taimenian people, who have always believed that the spellcaster's spiritual power comes from the blessing of the goddess Taimenian.

But it is obvious that Lu Heng has found a way to mass-produce spellcasters and thus increase his own casting rate.

There is even more than one method like this. In addition to being infused with spiritual energy by Rosa's spiritual energy crystal, people can also directly receive Lu Heng's essence...

However, the latter method is still kept secret and not many people know about it.

Relatively speaking, although Rosa's "Psychic Crystal Ripening Method" is not as pleasant during the process, it is much more versatile than Lu Heng's.

After all, it is impossible for Lu Heng to kill all those who need promotion... Obviously, Rosa's psychic crystal is more suitable for mass production of spellcasters.

It was also under the effect of the psychic crystal that Lu Heng’s remaining four maids had all been "ripened" into spellcasters.

Maid No. 2, Leliam, has the ability to create a kind of "cling film" with very low spiritual energy consumption to prevent food from spoiling.

This is obviously a skill that is of little help in combat, but it can greatly improve the logistics of the Survey Corps.

Lu Heng quickly thought of canned food as a supply tool, especially since the Survey Corps was about to head to the far north, it would definitely be more difficult for them to obtain supplies.

The "canned food production line" established under the leadership of the cook Leliam was undoubtedly a timely help to the warriors who were heading north alone.

Another use of this art is to keep Taimenia's psychic potatoes fresh.

Although Lu Heng can use healing methods to preserve the cut psychic potatoes and increase their use time almost indefinitely, this does require the consumption of a certain amount of spiritual energy.

As the amount of spiritual energy required accumulates, this radio substitute can only be used in a small range and cannot truly become a commodity that everyone can consume.

Now with Leliam's preservation ability, the commercial application scenarios of Taimenia's psychic potatoes are undoubtedly much brighter.

Compared with maid No. 2, Leliam, what surprised Lu Heng even more was the ability of maid No. 5, Christina.

She seems to be able to "understand" how certain magic items work and modify them "slightly".

For example, for a purely natural magic item like the Timenia Psychic Potato, she can set small settings like "adjusting the volume" and "choosing to answer or hang up".

Perhaps due to her insufficient rank, she was temporarily unable to fundamentally change the purpose of a magic item, but the small modifications she made alone were already very promising.

Lu Heng also felt that it was a waste of Christina's talent to just let her strengthen the psychic potato. She would definitely have more inventions in the future.

However, compared to Maid No. 2 Leliam and Maid No. 5 Christina, the exclusive talent of Maid No. 6 Sintijia seems very confusing.

Her ability appears to be to summon a book of psychic energy.

The biggest feature of this book is that it can be written without pen and ink. As long as the notebook holder speaks to it something that it can understand, it will automatically record it.

No matter what is written in this notebook, or whose name is written on it, it has no effect of blessing or cursing.

There is only one diary, and you can only pull out a few pages from it, and there is a limit on the number of pages, so you can only pull out about 10 pages a day.

It looks like it can neither be used in large-scale production nor in combat.

Sintija also hopes that this ability can be used for something other than just writing a diary, such as lurking near the enemy and secretly recording some secret conversations?

Pulling out a page of paper from a notebook can also be used as a notebook. It is indeed more portable, or easier to hide...

But compared to other people's exclusive skills, the practicality of this function is still too low.

This is also the tricky part about exclusive skills. Before awakening, you never know how useless this thing can be.

As a result, although Sintija had awakened her unique talent, she felt depressed instead.

Lu Heng also secretly admitted that in terms of combat effectiveness, this thing was definitely not as powerful as that notebook that wrote who would die.

But he still tried to find a better way to use this art...

After some exploration, Lu Heng finally found a unique use for this exclusive skill - as the hub of digital currency.

Before studying the usage of Sintija's abilities, Lu Heng was busy rebuilding the monetary system.

After all, you have rebelled against the empire, you can't keep using the imperial currency, right?

He had two plans. The first was to issue paper money, and the second was to directly use psychic batteries as currency.

The advantage of paper money is that it allows for free printing of money, unlike gold and silver currencies, which require sufficient amounts of precious metals to mint.

But paper money also has a major disadvantage, which is that it is easy to counterfeit.

At present, Lu Heng does not have any anti-counterfeiting technology that is good enough to prevent counterfeit currency.

In this respect, paper money is actually inferior to precious metal currency, because in most civilizations, gold and silver have their value.

They are often not considered pure waste because of the credibility issues of the issuer.

Paper money could really be treated as waste paper. At least when Lu Heng's camp was not strong enough, it would be difficult for paper money to maintain its value.

As for using psychic batteries as currency, the first and foremost problem is that the issuance of this currency is not enough, at least not enough in the early stages.

Moreover, this kind of thing is used in large quantities for military purposes, and there are even fewer psychic batteries available for circulation on the market.

So after observing Sintija's unique artistic skills, Lu Heng decided to go the digital currency route.

This set of digital currency cannot be directly realized by Sintija's original capabilities, and Christina also needs to participate in the relevant modifications to the "Sintija Notes".

After the modification, the main body of each "Sintija Notes" can be regarded as a data terminal for digital currency, and the drawn pages can achieve the effect of a "bank card".

As a rebel, Lu Heng had to perform better than the ruler of the empire in order to have the legitimacy of his rebellion.

So how can we make people live better? The fastest way is to make them richer.

How can we make them richer? In an emergency, of course, we can send money directly to their "bank cards".

As for how to make money, Lu Heng certainly would not collect poll taxes like an old medieval king, but would adopt a tax collection method that keeps up with the times, such as loans!

When consumers go to the northern continent in the future, they can't just make the ice and snow their home, right?

Since they need housing, Lu Heng has to hire people to build it for them. After it is built, ordinary working people certainly cannot afford it. So what should he do?

Loan!

The money loaned by Lu Heng is digital money. You can use it or not, and live in it or not.

Before the old farmers moved in, the money to build the houses was also raised with loans.

As for Lu Heng, the operation is much more convenient.

Anyway, it’s digital currency, so you don’t even need to turn on the printing press, it’s all about loans.

If he is happy, he will give out 500 million; if he is happier, he will give out 5000 million; if he is extremely happy, he will give out 5 million. Everything can be done according to actual needs.

Compared with an economic system that requires the minting of metal currency, it is countless times more flexible.

The one who truly perfected this monetary system was Maid No. 10, Ilia, who was also forced to become a spellcaster.

Her ability is to establish a kind of grafting between different magical items of the same nature, or to allow them to communicate with each other, just like plants with the same roots.

This ability itself cannot enhance any effects of magic items and seems to be a very useless exclusive skill.

But no matter how unconventional Ilia's abilities seemed, Lu Heng still found something she could do.

Chloe can copy various small models of the "Sintija Notes", and Ilia can connect them into one.

This realizes the interoperability of account books, and the production of "bank cards" also increases dramatically.

In the near future, this place will skip the era of banknotes and enter a new economic form of cashless transactions.

193. Telephone, Education and Church

Maid No. 10, Ilia, also has the ability to connect different Tymenia psychic potatoes into the same "network".

In this way, Lu Heng can hold a meeting with the members he invited.

One-on-one communication has also become more convenient than before.

Lu Heng asked Christina to modify the psychic potato so that individual users could contact specific people through special digital codes.

In this way, when a person wants to contact multiple people, he does not need to carry multiple psychic potatoes, but only one can contact the entire army.

To some extent, the portable phone in his hometown has been replicated by Lu Heng and his technical team.

Although it is still far behind the smart phones in Lu Heng's hometown, it is obviously a revolutionary progress.

If this advanced tool is successfully promoted in the military, it will soon become a real civilian facility.

The printing industry and education industry can also be greatly improved by the Maid Group.

The "Sintija Notes" mass-produced based on the psychic simulation stone can be used not only as an account book, but also as a textbook.

For Lu Heng's camp, improving education is actually a very urgent matter.

The two most important things for a camp are to create a set of ideological system to prove that it should survive and to build a military force to ensure its survival.

The core project of shaping the ideological system lies in education.

Why did these people of Taimenia still maintain their Taimenian identity 30 years after the Empire conquered the Kingdom of Taimenia?

This is why the empire’s education has not kept up.

As long as education keeps up, the Empire can at least ensure that most of the people of Temenia no longer believe that they are Temenia, but will follow the Empire wholeheartedly.

Even though these Taimenians have Taimenian blood and speak Taimenian language, their stance will change as long as their education is changed.

The same goes for Lu Heng. He must come up with a theory and use the "Sintijia Notes" to expand the influence of the theory.

The people who could be affected at any time are there. If Lu Heng does not develop a set of ideological system, the Empire or the "Life Alliance" will try to occupy their brains.

It's not just the imperial forces. These Taimenians, as soon as they broke away from the empire, began to openly believe in the goddess Taimenia and tried to revive the Goddess Church.

Initially, Lu Heng planned to stay out of it.

You can believe whatever you want, it's your freedom.

As for the goddess Taimenia herself, Lu Heng never saw any evidence of her real existence.

In other words, if the goddess really existed, would these people of Taimenia have fallen to the point of being tied to wooden stakes and tortured to death by the leaders of the empire?

Goddess, can't you make life better for your people?

So to be honest, Lu Heng, an outsider, has never really believed in the Goddess Taimenia.

But Lu Heng soon realized that ignoring the trend of the Revival Goddess Church would mean that he would have nothing to do with this vigorous force.
