Chapter 2518 Incompatible Dao Heart!
In this way, after a hundred years, Liberty Star Coin has gradually completed the process of "semi-monetization". In some fields, it can compete with the Imperial Crystal Coin, and even surpass the Empire's legal tender.
Therefore, they are strong enough to support the reformers, hold up the banner of "respecting the emperor and rebelling against rebellion, and reforming the empire", and can send a large amount of funds to the core world under the noses of the four major families. Staring, but helpless with them.
On the surface, it is the struggle between the reformists and the four major families, but in fact it is the struggle between the free star coin and the imperial crystal coin.
Of course, the Wanjie Business Alliance will never honestly confess everything. The above is based on the statement of the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, Di Feiwen, Li Yao's previous contact with Jin Yuyan, the chief deacon of the Wanjie Business Alliance, and the imperial queen Li Linghai. The high-sounding concept, Boss Bai's in-depth understanding of the star thief circle in the empire, and Xiao Ming's, Wen Wen's and Boxing King's understanding of the free star coins... In all aspects, the fragmentary information is condensed together to barely piece together the whole picture.
It can be said that, looking at the entire empire, there is no second person like Li Yao who can obtain first-hand information from so many aspects and roughly sort out the whole context.
The top brass of the four major families may not be ignorant of the horror of Freedom Star Coins, but they never imagined that it would be so terrifying—people who are too superstitious about violence will always despise the power of money.
Even after sorting it out, Li Yao found out that he had been deceived in the past——that boy Di Feiwen, the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, never told him the truth! What "their Myriad Realms Business Alliance is just a harmless organization where a group of small businessmen in the peripheral world of the empire hugged for warmth and struggled to survive", what "the empire has been squeezing and threatening them", bah, it's all fart!
One hundred years ago, the Wanjie Business Alliance basically monopolized the logistics and trade network in the peripheral world of the empire, which is equivalent to winning the support of tens of millions of people in the peripheral world of the empire, and is preparing to use the free star coins to launch a campaign against the rulers of the empire. It was a fatal blow.
After the defeat of the Black Wind Fleet, they made waves in the core area of the empire, and even carried out an "expedition" after they extorted a large amount of pensions and departure fees. A new economic crisis!
Even, thinking deeper, is the defeat of the Black Wind Fleet really inevitable? The Black Wind Five Realms that have not been lost for nine hundred years, not to mention "never fall", are at least impenetrable, impregnable, right? Why is it so sudden, it was pierced by the Holy League, is there any other articles in this?
These things have been annihilated in the dust of history. They just remind Li Yao that the immortal cultivators of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance are also immortal cultivators, and they are even more treacherous and cunning cultivators. Simple and honest cultivators like Li Yao deal with them. You must be very alert, if you are not careful, you will fall into their trap, and you will count the money for them if you are sold by them!
Li Yao secretly rejoiced that when he first arrived in the empire, he resisted the temptation, and even in the most difficult time, he did not contact the Wanjie Business Alliance.
If he really believed in Di Feiwen 100%, he would find the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance and tell everything honestly. Yes, the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance might help him, but he would also be completely reduced to a pawn of the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance , become a slave to money.
Cooperation is of course possible, but it must be based on Li Yao, and the bottom line of the Dao of Comprehension must be adhered to - this is a principle that cannot be shaken.
"In short, the current situation is like this. Although the empire's counterattack against the Holy League lasted for more than ten or twenty years, although it has achieved brilliant victories, a new economic crisis is also brewing, and any spark can destroy it. Detonation, at this moment, the credit of the imperial crystal coin has disappeared, and the only thing supporting it is violence, which is the violence of 'the four big families are invincible'."
Li Yao gestured and explained to Li Jialing, "That's why Black Star Great Emperor Wu Yingqi is going to put all his eggs in one basket and capture the imperial capital - Jitianjie, Tianjixing!
"Today's gloomy imperial capital seems to be far from the heart of the empire five hundred years ago. From a military and economic point of view, losing it is no big deal.
"However, from the perspective of economy and confidence, the fall of the imperial capital is like a catastrophe, completely shattering the dream of 'the four great families are invincible'.
"The reason why the economic system in the territory of the four major families has not yet collapsed, and the reason why people still accept imperial crystal coins for trading is because the four major families have absolute violence in their hands, but now this absolute violence has been strongly challenged. Confidence was badly broken.
"Understood? Wu Yingqi doesn't need to attack the territory of the four major families at all. He only needs to hold on to the imperial capital and continue to show off his might. If the reformists occupy the imperial capital for a day, the credit of the four major families will be weakened by one point. When the credit is gone When you save, you can't even pay your salary. Even if you have multiple babies and monsters, what's the use? The bottom cultivators will rebel, the social order will collapse, and the weight of the four major families will crush them.
"Of course, the Nascent Soul and Huashen of the four major families will not just sit and wait for death, but it is easier to destroy than to build. It only takes a few days to destroy currency credit, but to restore people's confidence in the imperial crystal currency, they do not know how to do it." How long and how much means.
"Of course the most direct way is to take back the imperial capital and wipe out the 'Pseudo-Senate Reform Committee', but the four major families don't dare to take this risk for the time being—it's not a joke to jump from the outside world to attack dragons and tigers like the imperial capital. If there is a carelessness, if you suffer a moderate defeat and lose face in front of the world, the rule of the four major families will be completely over.
"So, the four major families are now using the excuse of 'the new emperor's enthronement' on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have turned their guns and attacked the old nest of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance, which is the heart of Free Star Currency, the Seven Seas Market!
"Since it is impossible to rebuild people's confidence in the empire's crystal coins in a short period of time, we should simply mark the free star coins into a blank sheet of paper, as long as the trade routes between the Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance and the outer world of the Empire are completely cut off, and the Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance will be destroyed. The trading port under its banner allows people to hold a lot of free star coins, but they can't buy air, water and food for survival. Countless people hold free star coins but starve to death, thirsty and suffocate to death. The news spread Come on, what's the use of free star coins?
"The above is the entire background of the 'Battle of the Seven Seas' and its strategic significance. Don't regard this battle as just a prelude to the 'Battle of the Imperial Capital'. This is the real 'Battle of the Country'!"
Li Yao drank the iced juice in one gulp, and looked at the distorted universe outside through the glass.
The bright stars seemed to have turned into shining gold coins.
Money is really a much cuter thing than the god-turning monsters. After all, money can be exchanged for food, water, and everything you need to survive, and most of the time, the god-turning monsters can bring nothing but killing and destruction. What else?
"Although brother Yao just said so many advantages of free star coins, it sounds very good, but I still feel that something is not right..."
Li Jialing frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "How should I put it, I still don't like Liberty Coins instinctively, I think it's a deformed monster, and it can't be considered a real currency anyway.
"The most critical problem is that it is completely untraceable and monitorable, and it is completely invisible in every transaction link. This is really terrifying. It is easy, no, it is born to be used by evil people, and even good people can be lured into bad guy!
"Using Liberty Star Coins can avoid the exorbitant taxes of the empire. It's nice to say, but isn't national taxation a matter of course? If everyone doesn't pay taxes, how should the government operate normally, who will pay for large-scale public construction, and military expenses? Where does it come from, what about compulsory education and public medical care? When the Holy League or other Xinghai alien races attack aggressively, where will the money come to defend our civilization?
"The imperial authorities have a thousand and ten thousand bad things. At least in the past thousand years, they still blocked the rampant attack of the Holy League. Every shell fired at the Holy League was cast by the taxes paid by tens of thousands of people. Come out, if everyone uses free star coins and doesn't pay taxes, where do these shells come from?
"Hmph, absolute freedom will only bring absolute chaos. I don't like this unmonitored virtual currency."
"Oh, you kid is good at it now!"
Li Yao exclaimed, "I suddenly discovered the biggest problem of Free Star Coins. That's right, leaving aside whether it is absolutely safe and whether the number of issuances is controllable, etc., just say 'the transaction link is completely invisible and untraceable. 'This point is definitely not something that any normal country can bear. That is to say, the real human empire is at the end of its dynasty, decaying and declining, and its abnormal state of being about to play itself to death gave it a chance to take advantage of it.
"Speaking of which, even you kid can't bear the fatal problem of free star coins. A peerless hero like Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, who wants to be the 'one emperor of all ages', how can he endure the crucial national capital? Control it in your own hands?
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Yingqi to sincerely support Free Star Coins, but to use them to poach the corners of the four major families.
"On the other hand, Jin Yuyan is the most staunch advocate and promoter of Free Star Coins. He even became the chief deacon of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance because of his meritorious service in promoting Free Star Coins. Free Star Coins are one of his strengths. Source, even his Dao Heart, I believe he would rather die than change his obsession with Free Star Coins.
"Looking at the development of the Wanjie Business Alliance and Free Star Currency in the past hundred years, it can be seen that Jin Yuyan is really a powerful person. I have met him a few times in the past, and I think he is ordinary, just a friendly smiling businessman. It's just that, I didn't expect such a hidden powerhouse to truly achieve the 'decisive victory thousands of miles away'. Even the leader of the so-called revolutionary faction, the queen of the empire, Li Linghai, was played by him in the applause, even, even in a certain sense Go up and become his puppet.
"It's just that Jin Yuyan can't figure it out. In this dangerous game, there are still senior players like Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. Li Linghai is his puppet on the surface, but in fact he is Wu Yingqi. Puppet, it's just that Wu Yingqi hasn't finished his final battle preparations yet, so he doesn't want to break his face with Jin Yuyan.
"Jin Yuyan's Dao heart is firm, and it is by no means inferior to Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. The Dao heart of these two people is absolutely incompatible, but they have a common enemy for the time being - the four major families. This is what I have. Confidence convinces Jin Yuyan's truth!"
