Invincible War God - C305 Changes in the State of the Moon (Part II)
Cheng Yi looked at Master Wei and smiled: “Master Wei, you can go back to report now.”
Master Wei went back to report. Although he did not like Cheng Yi at all, but there were some things that everyone saw as a fact, so he had no choice but to report.
Yue Yan said immediately after hearing it, “Three days later, Xuan Cheng Yi will return to the capital.
Although Cheng Yi had only been in power for two short weeks, the citizens naturally had a scale in their hearts. Cheng Yi started to act at this time. It seemed that Cheng Yi was the true expert of the Way of Dark.
“Fellow villagers, please remember, even if I am to become a high-ranking official, I will still be your county governor.”
The nearby Grand Master immediately raised his big finger, and said: “As expected of Lord Zephyr, the people of Heyuan are blessed.”
The commoners thought that it was easy, but they did not know the meaning behind his words. Only after hearing Master’s explanation did they understand that Cheng Yi was afraid that the next county governor would cause trouble for the village, after all, this place was so remote and if he left, the next county guardian would not be able to enforce the law impartially, or could not do anything. The reason why Zephyr is always the county governor is to tell the later generations that if they don’t work hard, they have to think about the consequences.
Cheng Yi returned to the capital and immediately resumed his previous duties. This time, Cheng Yi was going to go all out, and now it seemed that he had completely grasped the initiative. It was just that war did not necessarily require meeting on the battlefield. Sometimes wars without smoke would be more interesting, such as wars with economies.
After returning twice, Cheng Yi proposed to change the monetary policy to strengthen the State of the Moon’s economic strength. Cheng Yi said: “Your Majesty, Cheng Yi believes that since there is economic interaction between the two countries, bringing large amounts of currency and the Merchant Union would not be convenient, so he has a suggestion to change monetary policy.”
No one would have thought that Cheng Yi was so bold, his suggestion was ridiculous! This gold coin had been in circulation for thousands of years, and people were already used to it. How could he let his upper lip change it just by touching it?
Although everyone had their own misgivings, they had at least a thousand family members, and the master was a single person, let alone a country. The final decision would depend on what Yue Yan was thinking, and Cheng Yi knew that whether or not he could convince Yue Yan was the key. After all, money was the lifeblood of a country, it was understandable that someone would raise a different objection at a time like this. If a person from a country, especially a group of important officials, were to keep their mouth shut, and not listen to what was going on, that would be a very dangerous signal.
Facing the crowd’s different opinions, Cheng Yi thought in his heart: “Looks like it’s time for me to show off, I want to suppress the masses.” Cheng Yi immediately came in front of everyone and said: “Masters, please calm down. Please believe what Cheng Yi has said, there must be a sufficient reason.”
“I’m all ears!”
Cheng Yi said: “That’s why it is said that changing currencies is different. Everyone here has never been to the Merchant Union, so you all naturally do not know about the suffering of merchants. First of all, gold coins are hard to carry, and second of all, gold coins can be used to recruit thieves. ”
Speaking till here, Yue Yan felt very close to him. If it was only a few hundred gold coins, naturally there wouldn’t be such a problem, but if there were more than ten thousand gold coins, it would be troublesome. Some Merchant Union had no choice but to set up guards just for this gold coin. This was indeed the case. After all, the State of the Moon was different from Xing Lan, the Merchant Union’s position was never high, and now, it was Yue Yan’s New Deal. Although she was born in the Merchant Union, like Guang Ming, he also suppressed the Merchant Union. On this point, the two had the same idea. So Yue Yan seemed to have thought of what Cheng Yi had to say, and he did indeed have this thought, but he didn’t expect that it was actually Cheng Yi who brought it up first.
Yue Yan thought like that, but it did not mean that there were others present. Master Wei was not able to help but be the first to refute, and asked: “Then what do you want to bring with you?”
“Banknotes!”
As Cheng Yi spoke, he opened up his fan and continued: “The State of the Moon issues paper money. Only those who enter our country can buy goods with gold coins, which means that they do not recognize the currency of the Star Blue Empire.”
Speaking to here, even a fool could hear that Cheng Yi’s move was sinister enough to use paper money to plunder star blue’s wealth. In this way, everyone had nothing to say. However, Yue Yan knew that Cheng Yi’s plan would not stop there. It seemed that Xing Lan’s economy was going to collapse, and this method would definitely get the approval of the Merchant Union.
As expected, Yue Yan continued: “At the same time, we have to promote this kind of currency among the masses. Only when our country is very popular, can we completely defeat Xing Lan.”
It seemed like Cheng Yi’s plan was really thought through thoroughly at every step. It could also be said that this move of his was equivalent to using starblue’s money to support the people of State of the Moon. This was much better than those methods of exchanging strange items for food.
Thus, the State of the Moon conducted a currency change. At first it seemed to be a part of the loss, but it also opened up the scene for a month before the people agreed to the new currency because it was too convenient. Now that the entire State of the Moon had approved of the new paper money, it was normal for them to go to the State of the Moon to use their own national currency. In order to quickly promote the game, one gold coin could be exchanged for two times his value. How could this not move his heart?
He immediately felt that this method was not bad, and that he could return the hard currency back to the treasury. Thus, he began to plan for the issuance of notes to fight against the State of the Moon, although he suppressed the Merchant Union, he did not want the people from the Merchant Union to give away a large amount of gold coins to their opponents while holding useless currency.
But Cheng Yi’s methods were not only limited to that, he also immediately came up with a new countermeasure. A large number of paper money was issued, attacking Starblue’s economy. Because the paper money was printed, people with one gold star blue coin could also redeem twice the amount. On the surface, it seemed like it was a matter of losing money, but this was only for the sake of dealing more damage to Starlight.
Sure enough, a large amount of gold coins was still flowing into the treasury of the State of the Moon, and at this time, Cheng Yi knew that he had to make his move.
He immediately suggested to Yue Yan, and said: “Your Majesty, it’s time to put away the net, I plead that you issue an order allowing the citizens to collect and increase their collection of gold coins.”
As a member of the Merchant Union, Yue Yan naturally knew the logic behind this. However, she still hesitated when she made this decision.
“Your Majesty, those who achieve great things, don’t bother with trifling matters.”
Yue Yan knew that it was indeed unkind of him to do so, but thinking that he needed to have a strong army to take revenge, he decided to immediately make a decision.
Now that both countries no longer had gold coins in circulation, the State of the Moon once again allowed the citizens to sell their gold. In a short period of time, the star blue currency once again rushed to the State of the Moon’s market to start the hype.
Seeing that the large amount of funds was in the market and had no choice but to print more banknotes to counter their suppression, Yue Yan, on Cheng Yi’s suggestion, decisively added in his currency. The exchange rate is publicly proposed and is now one to four. In other words, even if it was just notes, Star Blue would have to pay four times the price to exchange for it.
State of the Moon’s reserve of gold coins could be said to have reached an unprecedented level. In the end, because the Merchant Union and the aristocratic families were preoccupied with their matters, he could not let go of this matter. In this game, whether he admitted it or not, he would naturally be at a disadvantage.
At this time, Xu Molai would fight. Xu Molai appearing at this moment, could also be said to be a part of Cheng Yi’s plan.
Or it could be said that it was also because of Lin Mufeng himself. Regarding the matters of the Star Blue Academy, Xu Molai would never forget those grudges. It was also because of this that Xu Molai agreed so readily. Of course, if it wasn’t for Cheng Yi, he wouldn’t have ignored him, and would have had to take revenge sooner or later.
In regards to Xu Molai, Fu Tianbo could be said to be extremely careful at every turn, and he also understood that just by looking at their intentions, they wanted to control this person, and the two were actually secretly playing a game, both trying to maximize their own benefits. The light was not simple, it could be said that he was studying the Emperor’s Art, and the more proficient he was in the art of studying, the more powerful he would be in control of the actual situation.
Of course, he was well aware of this fact. Of course, he did not know that the heavy bomb beside him could explode at any moment, but he was not without caution, so other than Xiao Qiang controlling the armies in the light, he had also made an even more powerful army, the “Dark Army”. After evolving step by step, they were now completely under the control of the light, as if they had pulled back the blue star from the light.
The Emperor’s thoughts were not something that an ordinary person could understand. Although he appeared to oppose the Emperor, it did not mean that he was opposed. Furthermore, he would not give his full support to the Emperor’s intentions. If you can’t grasp the balance and degree, a country won’t be able to maintain it.
Not to mention Lin Mufeng who was an outsider, even though he said that the Merchant Union only made money on money, it would not affect the interests of the Empire, but it was difficult to draw dragons and tigers, why would he believe his words? Furthermore, this person was from the evil heavenly spirit, he was an evil person, and some of the words were true. But there was one thing he believed, and that was that Lin Mufeng would definitely do the three year agreement with him. From his point of view, Lin Mufeng wanted to openly replace him without a proper reason, and if he could not make this three year agreement with him, then he would only be giving this person a reasonable answer.
Therefore, no one knew whether or not the bay would ripple after it had calmed down. Although it was just a pool of water, so what if it was a river, there would always be a time when the waves would come out. It seemed like he needed to properly clean up the mess, at least the war had already begun. This should not be something that Yue Yan could accomplish, could it be that the Cheng Yi beside her was really some kind of otherworldly expert?
