Chapter 540: Changing the Sky
Before setting off, Lu Ping'an and his party still couldn't understand the use of such a spectacle-level tower in the state capital. In this world, an overly tall building itself can easily invite disaster.
When I first came in, I found that there were special spells inside to expand the space, and the environment was as empty as a haunted house, which was even more puzzling.
Is it just for the annual assessment?
Later, with the announcement of its special positioning as a "Spaceship of the Kingdom of God", it was accepted.
But after returning now, I found that it was positioned as a "transit station", and everyone still thought it was not big enough. Even in this short period of two months, it was obviously thicker and doubled in height.
"The first floor is a treasure trove of gold. It's various chain stores. The church's branches in the state capital. If you have any needs, you can go to them directly. As long as you don't go out, you'll be fine."
This level of forced residence does not even count as house arrest, and the free use of phone calls and text messages has also made many people feel at ease.
But the things on the body and the people around you are not allowed to leave until the verification and registration are completed.
It is said that the process is not complicated, but the local manpower is limited, so we have to wait. There may not be a shortage of manpower for review, but the high-level combat power that can hold the venue and avoid accidents is definitely limited.
After all, not all explorers are semi-novice like Lu Pingan, and rule-level explorers naturally need rule-level reviewers to deal with them.
What Lu Pingan heard was that the ranking of "stronger strength" was higher, while Lu Pingan and his party only had a few fourth-tier mercenaries on paper, and the ranking was relatively low.
Lu Ping'an and his party were very relaxed. They were not under a lot of pressure, and they also called their families to report their safety.
"It might be a good thing to stay a few more days. There is everything here."
Those returnees who stayed in the local area couldn't relax, so they started their old business directly.
For those who set up stalls and purchases, everyone has a lot of goods in their hands. At this time, they are idle, and it is also a good thing to exchange them to get what they need.
There are many young people in Lu Pingan's party, and there are indeed a lot of "goods" in their hands, so they naturally joined this "feast".
But during the transaction, Lu Pingan also discovered those old problems. The lack of general equivalents caused most of the transactions to come to an end.
This is also the throes of the times. At the previous point in time, taboo items were too rare and precious, and many slightly better ones were "priceless" and those regular-level and silver-level treasures, if they were traded in cash , One is more outrageous than the other, and it is impossible for many people to get it out.
This time, many people have had a good harvest. There are a bunch of "truth-level" taboo items on the market. If they really want to sell at the sky-high prices in the past
"Will anyone buy it? If he buys it, he won't worry about the avalanche of the market price? Can he take out so much cash?"
"Will anyone be willing to sell it? Does he not worry that he won't be able to buy taboo items that suit him after he gets the money after selling it? Or, it's still the old routine, it's better to exchange things for things."
Such ideas appear among buyers and sellers at the same time, and natural transactions become less likely to take shape.
In fact, everyone knows that with the essence of a world flowing into the earth, the "mass purchase" of forbidden items, materials, knowledge, etc. in the market, it is only a matter of time before the prices of certain things are greatly reduced.
However, high-end taboo items have been bartered for so many years, and high-end professionals still lack trust in the official currency of the Eastern Kingdom. As mentioned before, what they trust more is actually the credit coins provided by various churches, which are easier to buy The high-end equipment, materials, and knowledge you need.
This kind of thing has happened more than once in the Silent Mountains. In the final analysis, the official currency of the Eastern Kingdom lacks the high credibility that "hard currency" must have. It was too common in the past to be unable to buy high-end goods with money.
This situation, which obviously prevents normal transactions, also creates additional instability (robbery, fraud).
To get to the bottom of it, it can be seen that the official power of Dongguo is weak, and the high-end market is always in the hands of various churches, which leads to the lack of high-end purchasing power of Dongguo currency.
If you have money and can't buy things, it will naturally cause a large premium. That's how the exaggerated tens of millions and billions of transactions came about. This shows that the high-end goods on the market have long been out of the reach of Dongguo currency.
If there are no accidents, now that a bunch of goods from Silent Mountain World have entered the market, the high-end market will definitely have another avalanche, and it is easy to suffer big losses in transactions at this time.
Lu Pingan sold black iron grade shovels at the beginning, and the transactions were all the credit coins of the Lin Nu Church, and the higher-end market has long been the monopoly of various churches.
Lu Pingan originally thought that the trade fair this time would be the same as before in the world of Silent Mountains. It was still enjoyable to watch, with less buying and less selling, and more people preparing to rob.
"United currency? What is that?"
A strange term, and the meaning it represents, appeared in front of everyone. This is definitely something that was not there before the departure.
"The new currency issued by the Dongguo official and various Orthodox churches is currently linked to the credit currency within the Dongguo official and the church."
When Lu Pingan heard this statement, he was stunned for a moment.
This seemingly simple new currency actually means a complete change in the general situation of the whole world.
"How is it possible that the Dongguo government has withdrawn the right to issue coins?! How could other churches agree?"
Jointly issuing credit coins, using the previous churches and official internal credit coins as collateral, this seemingly fair new policy actually means that all churches will retreat in an all-round way.
Before, the church was equal to having emptied the officialdom in a certain sense
"The remuneration I can offer is better than yours. I can 'print money' by myself. You can only issue banknotes that no one wants in the high-end market. Naturally, I can attract more talents."
Now, each family is issuing new currency together, which is equivalent to bringing all the churches back to the same starting line. It is equivalent to using the assets of all churches to endorse the government that controls the right to issue currency, and it is equivalent to bringing all churches back under the overall jurisdiction of the government.
"What happened in these two months? Was there a world war?"
"No, it's just that new gods keep coming, and officially recognized righteous gods keep appearing."
This is a deterrent. Foreign gods meet local gods who are grouped together. Considering the "preferential policies" of righteous gods, it is normal for them to join the government.
Among other things, if gods of the level of the Lord of Seals and the Moon God really join the official forces, the original small team of righteous gods must carefully consider their position.
"In this big event, everyone is worried about falling behind. Now the government has the right to arrange the explorer plan, as well as the right to assess the qualifications of explorers. It can allow certain churches to plant potatoes on the ground for a lifetime. Stagnation means falling behind. Falling behind In a sense, it is equivalent to slow death."
This is coercion plus temptation, the official of the Eastern Kingdom with a big stick in one hand and candy in the other hand, used this gamble to regain his dignity and power.
"Sure enough, this makes sense."
Those 25,000 to 80,000 high-level church leaders and high-quality thugs who had their eyes above the top could fully explain it if they obediently listened to the arrangement.
And when even the church and its high-level combat power are subdued, those scattered high-level combat power will naturally subdue obediently.
This is the general trend, moistening things silently, but no one can stop it. The foreign move of opening the country's gate has led to an avalanche of the general trend on the earth's chessboard.
And the Dongguo official who regained the right to issue currency is equivalent to regaining financial power at the same time, so military power and personnel power (high-end professionals) have also been taken back.
The Dongguo official, who now holds the "right to appoint and remove the righteous gods" and "the only legal credit currency", has also completed the revival of the central government.
All of this is only within two months, and the outcome is even thousands of miles away from the earth.
"Is it all a calculation? It's really scary."
Although he said it was scary, there was a smile on the corner of Lu Ping'an's mouth. For him, this was indeed good news, great news!
