Chapter 1523: Leaving a Name for Eternity

As these words were spoken, the entire hall was slightly stunned.

Everyone could not believe their ears, and the Financial Minister was even more bewildered.

George III asked, "What did you just say?"

Newton frowned slightly and said it again.

"I am saying, wouldn't it be more stable to use more stable gold for transactions?"

"We only need to determine the gold content between our currencies; there is no need to mint Gold Coins."

"In this way, we only need to determine the gold content of the issued currency and use them for transactions."

"..." Newton explained for a long time.

These noble-born Councilors, including the King of Britain, George III.

Felt an intellectual crushing.

The Financial Minister opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask clearly what exactly it meant, but each time he had nothing to say.

They did not understand this theory of Newton's, but they were greatly shocked.

Newton looked at everyone present in confusion, while they rubbed their temples.

"What is wrong with you all? Was my explanation that complicated?" Newton asked doubtfully.

He thought he had explained it clearly enough, that any person could understand it, but looking at these people's expressions.

It seemed they understood, yet did not fully understand.

Newton revealed an expression of disgust; how could one conduct research with such a group of vermin?

It would be better to be with Mo Cheng.

Newton sighed, looked at these slightly bewildered people, and said indifferently: "Simply put, it is to use gold as the standard basis."

"Issue currency using the value of gold; domestically, use this currency for transactions, and between nations, use gold for transactions."

"By doing this, neither side will suffer a loss, and the price of gold is more stable between nations."

Hearing these two sentences, everyone suddenly realized.

The Financial Minister's heart, however, was surging with great waves; if the plan Newton mentioned were implemented, then the currency issued by Britain could be printed without limit.

And using gold for exchange between nations would not affect the value of domestic currency, which would solve many of their economic problems.

He looked deeply at Newton, his gaze very complex.

From what he had seen before, although Newton had proposed many famous theories.

He had achieved nothing since becoming a Councilor, and even failed to show up for work every day.

Now it seemed, how ignorant and foolish his previous views had been!

The Financial Minister said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe this method is feasible."

George III nodded after some thought; his thoughts were the same as the Financial Minister's, both believing this method was feasible.

"Very well, you go and handle this matter." George III said indifferently.

"As you command..." The Financial Minister accepted the order, and the look in his eyes as he watched Newton also became much kinder.

After the council meeting disperses, I will go and discuss the specific details of the Gold Standard with him, the Financial Minister thought to himself.

Thinking that the Gold Standard system was about to be implemented, his heart was filled with fervor.

George III wore a smile and laughed: "Today is a good day. Tonight, I have decided to hold a banquet to congratulate Councilor Newton for proposing the Gold Standard system that is enough to change history."

The Councilors looked at Newton again, but this time, what they cast toward him were sincere smiles.

As a meritorious official, he was the protagonist of the King's banquet tonight.

Newton paid no attention to these empty titles. Seeing that the problem was solved, he glanced at George III sitting at the head and asked: "May I leave now? I still have research to do."

Everyone was stunned.

George III's face twitched; there had never been anyone who refused him like this.

Newton was the first.

George III opened his mouth, just about to reprimand him a little; he had ennobled Councilor Newton hoping he would do more for Britain, rather than burying himself in

those researches.

But then he thought that Newton's personality was simply not suited for politics, so he smiled helplessly.

"Go, go."

Hearing these words, which made him happier than hearing the commendations from George III and the others, a flash of brilliance crossed Newton's dim eyes as he looked at George III with a smile on his face.

Newton ran off, leaving behind a group of bewildered Councilors.

The protagonist of today's banquet, the inventor of a system capable of changing history.

Just left like that.

The Financial Minister gave a wry smile; he had intended to discuss the specific details with Newton after the council dispersed.

As it turned out, the other party completely ignored it.

He was single-mindedly focused on doing research.

"Sigh." The Financial Minister watched Newton walking away with light steps and sighed, murmuring: "If this person were single-mindedly a Councilor, he would certainly be able to leave a name in history."

George III could not help but remind him: "He already has."

The Financial Minister was stunned, then immediately shook his head.

It was true; the theories Newton proposed had long since earned him status and honor, it was just that... he did not care.

George III exclaimed in admiration, the expression on his face extremely complex, not just joy but lamentation, saying: "That he could propose the Gold Standard might all be because our council meeting this time interfered with his research."

The Financial Minister smiled wryly: "So he wanted to end it quickly and just casually proposed the Gold Standard method."

The Financial Minister received the answer from George III's eyes.

Looking toward the direction Newton had walked, he had already left.

The Minister of Finance, whether out of jealousy or something else, said gloomily: "This person, fearing that his research would be delayed, casually gave us the solution and told us not to disturb him again."

"That is how it is, right?" The Minister of Finance looked toward George III.

George III nodded.

After Newton left Buckingham Palace, he hurried toward his house; just a moment ago, when he was leaving, he had tripped.

After getting up, he looked at the dust clinging to his clothes and tried to flick it off, but he could not succeed no matter what.

This suddenly made him think of something.

To verify this idea, Newton had to hurry back to his residence; Mo Cheng was there.

He might bring him a different perspective.

He and Mo Cheng were now both teacher and friend to each other.

The two of them spent their days and nights forgetting to eat or sleep, conducting research, specifically on why apples fall to the ground.

And why they do not fly up into the sky after ripening.

Then why could the dust land on him, and why was it not falling vertically; was there some connection between the two?

Or did his clothes have some sort of relationship with the dust?

If that were the case, then why does the human body surface have grime; was this to say that the human body also has a special force that makes them draw near?

Thinking of this possibility, Newton could not help but feel excited.

This was definitely a major discovery; he had to go back and study it with Mo Cheng to prove whether his idea was wrong.

Buckingham Palace was very far from where Newton lived; the Horse Carriage traveled for a full day before arriving at his residence.

When he returned, it had gone from day to night, and now a sliver of white light had already appeared in the night.

But Newton felt no fatigue; although his eyes were already covered in bloodshot veins, when he saw that he had returned, his excitement was beyond words.
