Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, Vijayanagar state, capital city - Hampi,
At the Royal Palace in Hampi, Vijay, along with Jagannath Mohan and Rajesh, who were the ministers of trade and commerce and ministers of finance, joined together in a meeting to discuss the progress of the transition from metal currency to paper currency.
"So, how is the transition going on?" Vijay inquired with a serious expression. Paper currency was one of the biggest prerequisites for an industrialized society. With the existence of paper currency, the empire's economy would not be held back by the immediate unavailability of gold.
