Chapter 155 The City Lord Calls for Help (15)

Zhang Hao was actually a little dazed, it was really... too coincidental. Just when the figures of Zhou Jue and others disappeared and were completely invisible, Feng Dongyuan flew over in a hurry. And the direction just happened to be staggered, so I didn't find it.

Since it's such a coincidence, let's...play it. At this time, Master Zhang Hao was in a good mood.

Zhang Hao crossed his arms and looked at Feng Dongyuan with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

Sometimes, silence is golden! I watch, I watch again, I just don't speak!

Feng Dongyuan was uncomfortable with Zhang Hao's eyes, especially when he thought of the fact that he was captured before and Zhang used his own technology to exchange him, he was even more uncomfortable.

Feeling uncomfortable being watched by Zhang Hao, Feng Dongyuan unconsciously told the truth: "Zhang Hao, something serious has happened. The Black Iron Guild... Recently, it has been frantically minting black iron coins and using them to buy various materials.

Now that there is a flood of black iron coins, the actual purchasing power is less than half of what it used to be, so that the people are full of complaints.

Now... now... it's all messed up.

The angry people have already surrounded the city lord's mansion, demanding an explanation from the city lord. "

Zhang Hao yelled: "What did you say? Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Nimma..." Feng Dongyuan felt a little uncontrollable rage, and really wanted to... beat him up!

However, Zhang Hao continued to say: "What a coincidence, I just sent Zhou Jue and the others away, and I was lost in thought about the problem Zhou Jue left.

Oh, look at me, General Feng, please come in, please come inside. "

The veins on Feng Dongyuan's head were bulging, his hands were clenched tightly, his shoulders were shaking violently, he could hardly contain his anger, and he really wanted to push Zhang Hao to the ground and beat his parents so that his parents couldn't recognize him.

Feng Dongyuan growled: "Zhang Hao! I'm not kidding you! Things are really serious!"

Zhang Hao also collected the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "General Feng, I have also heard about the issue of currency depreciation. I have also thought of a lot of ways, and I am going to discuss it with the city lord."

"That's good, then let's go!"

With that said, Feng Dongyuan was about to arrest Zhang Hao.

"Wait!" Zhang Hao took a step back, "I have to explain to my father."

…………

Feng Dongyuan was very depressed because Feng Zhiling was with him. Feng Zhiling's flying height was just one body higher than Feng Dongyuan's. After Feng Dongyuan tried a few times, he gave up helplessly. Nascent Soul stage masters are so self-willed.

However, after a while, Feng Dongyuan became angry again - this Feng Zhiling happened to be a body faster than himself, and would sway in front of him from time to time.

You are a master in the Nascent Soul Stage, how fucking boring are you! Feng Dongyuan looked at Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling, a pair of brothers, and wanted to curse.

Zhang Hao followed Feng Zhiling, looking leisurely at Feng Dongyuan, who was beside him with a charcoal complexion, and gave him an apologetic smile from time to time, but this smile made Feng Dongyuan even more angry.

Leaping directly over the city wall, they flew all the way to the gate of the city lord's mansion, and the three fell down.

The gate of the city lord's mansion was very lively, thousands of people gathered here to ask the city lord to be the master. The guards and the people pushed each other.

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Zhang Hao walked into the mansion step by step. But my heart is a little heavy. It seems that the devaluation of the currency has caused instability among the people.

Liu Jingming received Zhang Hao in the gazebo in the garden, which is where the princess met Zhang Hao.

With a few simple and polite words, Liu Jingming went straight to the point, with a murderous tone in his tone: "Zhang Hao, the Xuantie Guild has gone crazy now, they mint a large number of ordinary Xuantie coins, and then use these Xuantie coins to purchase a large number of them from the market like crazy. Resources.

Whether it is spiritual rice, common medicinal materials, crushed spiritual stones, or even various ores. In this short period of one month, the number of black iron coins on the market has more than doubled, and the purchasing power of black iron coins has plummeted.

Today, a large number of industries have been impacted, and the people are unstable. Many citizens have begun to make ends meet, but they cannot find a place to work.

If this continues, something will happen!

I never thought that choosing too many irons could cause a disaster! Fuck! "

When it came to the end, Liu Jingming's face had murderous intent, and he already had the intention of flattening the Xuantie Guild by force! The decisive character of the past has gradually recovered.

Zhang Hao knew very well that this Liu Jingming had been on the battlefield, and he would definitely kill the killer at a critical moment.

In fact, local officials in the cultivation world are not easy to do. They have to balance the balance between the local aristocratic families and various forces, and also take care of the people. When it really came time to do something, there was bound to be bloodshed.

But Zhang Hao doesn't want to see bloodshed; it's not that Zhang Hao is kind and weak, but because the Zhang family now needs a relatively peaceful environment for development.

Zhang Hao pondered for a while, then said slowly: "City Master Liu, I have two immature suggestions for the time being."

"Tell me."

"One is sparse and the other is blocked."

"Oh, let's talk about 'blocking' first."

"Blocking is to take strong measures to stop the actions of the Black Iron Guild, confiscate the Black Iron Guild, and let it be run by the state. Now my father is still the nominal chairman of the Black Iron Guild. As long as the city lord obtains my father's promise, he can obtain the Black Iron Guild without bloodshed. The actual control of the Iron Guild.

In doing so, you can quickly make decisions for the people and maintain the majesty of the city lord and the country.

And now I can promise on behalf of my father and offer the Black Iron Guild with both hands. "

Liu Jingming pondered for a while, and frowned slightly: "It sounds good, but there are many problems. What about the value of the black iron coins that have slipped? And doing so will anger many aristocratic families.

The common people are important, but the aristocratic family is equally important. And the aristocratic family is the foundation of national power! "

Zhang Hao nodded slowly. This is one of the difficulties in the world of cultivation: of course the common people cannot ignore it, but compared to the ordinary people who have no abilities and no weapons, the aristocratic families who have mastered the cultivation resources, master resources, weapon resources, pill resources, etc. The great clan is the foundation of the country.

However, aristocratic families are often not very obedient, and they all have their own little calculations.

But now the most difficult thing is - the Black Iron Guild has gathered hundreds of large and small families. If the Black Iron Guild is to be established, the entire Ninghe County will be blown up.

The Xuantie Guild, which the Zhang family established for development and self-protection, has become a cancer in Ninghe County.

And if it is 'blocked', there are indeed many problems that cannot be solved, such as the value of the black iron coins that have fallen, such as those whose interests have been damaged, and what about the people who have been unable to solve the problem?

In the current chaotic market, it is obviously not good to rely solely on blocking. And 'blocking' is not a long-term solution after all.

But 'sparse' is not so easy. Because this requires...greater wisdom and firmer determination. Based on Liu Jingming's experience, the first thing he thought of was 'blocking'. It's not that he doesn't want to 'sparse', but he doesn't know how to 'sparse'.

After confirming that Zhang Hao's suggestion of "blocking" was not much different from what I thought, I naturally wanted to ask Zhang Hao what "shutting" was like.

"Shu's words are to follow the current trend and continue to develop. But this direction of development must be controlled by the city lord.

The first is the issue of currency devaluation. I believe the city lord has already noticed that since the Zhang family was forced by the Qian family to disclose the water forging technique, the production of low-end black iron has been increasing, and even many ordinary people can try to refine some. Therefore, the depreciation of black iron coins is inevitable.

Therefore, if you want to keep the value of Black Iron Coin, the best way is to let the value of Black Iron Coin continue to depreciate until it reaches the cost price of today's technology. "

"Ah...then...this...no way! Then what is the difference between us and Xuantie Gonghui! Also, what about the common people?"

"No, no, people will welcome it very much!" A mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face, "I call this model the 'big water release' model, which is the currency issuance model. But the additional currency needs to be issued through The right means flow into the market.

For example, cash for work.

In fact, the Zhang family is doing this now. We hire artisans for nearly three times the normal price, paid in dark iron coins. "

"I understand!" Liu Jingming suddenly understood, with a long-lost smile on his face. But the next moment, he frowns again: "But, I don't have so many black iron coins!"

Zhang Hao showed a proud smile: "Our black iron factory can mint coins! We can give you a reasonable price for the city owner. How about ten catties of 60% pure black iron and two spirit stones?"

"Pfft... one-fifth of the market price? No wonder the Black Iron Guild is so crazy! Tell me, how much technology does your Zhang family hide! Also, what is the real cost of producing black iron?"

"The city owner doesn't need to ask, at least our Zhang family didn't use these technologies indiscriminately."

"Hmph, alright. Then mint... 500 tons of black iron coins for me first! A total of... 200,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"No problem. But I'm here today, and I want to discuss the previous issue with the city lord, which is the matter of developing Ninghe County into a black iron base.

First of all, I want to apologize. I was too busy because of the "Boiling Sea Project". I also ask the city lord to forgive me. "

Liu Jingming rolled his eyes, he also knew about Zhuhai's plan, after all, the Zhang family was full of trouble. After the success of the Boiling Sea Project, the Zhang family's back became much harder. Now come to this matter again, don't think I don't know what you think.

But on the surface, Liu Jingming still nodded. The Zhang family is really indispensable in Ninghe County now.

Zhang Hao spoke slowly: "Master Liu, we have a development plan, that is, my Zhang family will completely build a factory for the country. The scale of the factory is expected to produce more than 500 tons of black iron per day. The construction time is estimated to take half a year. The cost... According to preliminary estimates, 200,000 high-grade spirit stones are needed!"

"200,000 high-grade spirit stones!" Liu Jingming stood up in surprise, "Now the whole country can't afford that much wealth!"

"But the city lord has land and mines." Zhang Hao showed his fox tail.

(Hey hey hey, let's get high together.)
