Chapter 1425 The Guilty Empress
To be honest, the officials of the Fengling Empire were also confused by the empress's tactics. They originally thought that the empress could only sit and wait for death, but they did not expect that in such a short period of time, she would actually turn over.
Moreover, the 50 million elite troops have been completely transferred into the imperial capital. Even if the officials have other ideas, they do not dare to act rashly.
But within two days, the empress made a new move and issued the third imperial edict.
This imperial edict is mainly related to currency reform.
First, the empire prohibits the use of holy crystals for trading.
The value of currency lies in circulation. If it cannot circulate, it loses its own value. After the collapse of Phoenix Coin, Saint Crystal is the only currency, which can be used for cultivation, and can be used to purchase elixirs, holy weapons, exercises, holy skills, etc.
But after banning the use of Saint Crystals for trading, the Saint Crystals will only be used for cultivation.
Second, the empire has launched a new currency, spiritual coins, which will also be the empire’s only trading currency in the future. Currently, citizens of the empire’s 3,217 states can use phoenix coins to exchange for equivalent spiritual coins at the local Jingsi. At the same time, Jingsi also provides holy coins. Crystal exchange business, one holy crystal can be exchanged for fifty spirit coins.
At the same time, all crystal cards will be bound to the user's soul.
Third, the empire will open imperial trading houses in more than 3,000 states, mainly selling elixirs, sacred weapons, exercises and holy skills. Note: The imperial trading houses only accept spiritual coins for transactions.
Fourth, everyone must abide by the above three articles unconditionally. Violation will be punished with treason.
As the content of this imperial edict spread, all the officials in the court and all the major forces were in an uproar. Because before they were shorting Phoenix coins, all the major forces had accumulated a large amount of Saint Crystals. Now, Saint Crystals cannot be traded as currency and cannot be stored. What's the use of too many Saint Crystals?
Secondly, the empire’s newly launched spiritual coins actually doubled the exchange rate with holy crystals. Isn’t this a knife to cut their flesh?
Of course, there are also people with foresight who realize that this is the empire's punishment for them. If they cooperate, the empire will ignore the past. If they don't cooperate, they may face liquidation by the empire.
Now, the city guards of more than a thousand states have been withdrawn and distributed to various cities. At the same time, the eternal-level creatures have also been transferred. These people, the empire has also placed them in the army.
This greatly increased the defense of each city. Even if the major forces wanted to rebel, they had to weigh their options. What's more, there are still 50 million elites in the imperial capital.
Today, the empire's territory has shrunk by almost two-thirds, which also shows that it has shrunk its strength.
Finally, the provision that phoenix coins can be exchanged for spiritual coins on an equal basis has completely attracted the citizens and a bunch of small forces.
The most cruel thing is that the trading houses opened by the empire give the newly issued spiritual coins their due value. Based on this, very few people will go against the empire. The only ones who suffer are the major forces.
Of course, not everyone can take such a long-term view.
On the fifth day after the imperial edict was issued, several major forces in the state capital raised their troops together, intending to rebel from the empire, follow the example of those rebels, and establish themselves as kings.
But as soon as they took action, they were eliminated by the imperial elites who arrived in advance, and the entire families of those powerful forces were slaughtered cleanly.
This ruthless method directly frightened other major forces who wanted to rebel.
The Fengling Empire had been established for many years and had already stored a large number of techniques and holy techniques. In the past, these techniques and holy techniques could only be stored in storage, but this time they appeared in the imperial trading house, causing crazy purchases.
All the major forces are also very coveted for these holy skills.
But they didn't have any spiritual coins in their hands, and it would be too painful to exchange the Holy Crystals to Jingsi.
They knew that with the spread of a large number of advanced techniques and high-grade holy skills, if big forces like them chose to continue to fight against the empire, they might be replaced by newly rising forces.
In desperation, they could only hold back and exchange the Holy Crystal with Jingsi.
Half a year has passed by in a flash.
In the past six months, all kinds of rebels have almost gone crazy in more than a thousand states. There were originally more than 4,000 rebels, but now there are only more than 2,000 left. Although these two thousand rebels are eating The other rebels swelled later.
But overall, the overall strength of the rebels was reduced by about half.
The empress did not break her promise and canonized these rebels.
At the same time, the other eighty-six states, the Holy Alliance and the Sky Empire were almost beaten to a pulp.
Both sides continue to increase their troops.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Empress Lingzi summoned the Prime Minister Cang Xue and smiled lightly at her: "Sister Cang Xue, we succeeded!"
"Yes, it worked!"
The Prime Minister also lamented that although the empire's territory was directly reduced by two-thirds, the Fengling Empire was not destroyed after all, and it had the qualifications to cultivate and recuperate.
"By the way, Prime Minister, what should we do next?"
The empress suddenly looked serious and asked.
"I think the most important thing for your Majesty to do is to marry a prince and give birth to an heir!" the Prime Minister said seriously.
Before, the officials of the empire dared to hollow out the empire so unscrupulously, which had a lot to do with the fact that the empress had no heirs. She had no heirs, which meant that after her death, anyone was qualified to compete for the world.
Hearing the Prime Minister's suggestion, the empress' cheeks could not help but blush slightly, but the figure of Qin Tian flashed in her mind. Her mother's prince was also a holy king, and he was also a holy king. Could it be that this was fate.
"His Majesty?"
Looking at the absent-minded empress, the Prime Minister called softly to remind her.
"It's not urgent, we'll talk about it later!"
A flash of shame flashed in the empress's eyes, and she waved her hands pretending to be calm, but secretly thought in her heart, what am I thinking, I am really shameless.
"By the way, Prime Minister, how is Mr. Tian Qin doing lately?"
the empress asked.
"this……?"
The Prime Minister shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Come in!"
The next moment, the empire's secret guard leader responded.
"Where is the person I want you to find?" the empress asked directly.
The secret guard commander said with shame: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. By the time my subordinates sent people to that city, Mr. Tian Qin had already left. Then my subordinates searched many places, but no trace of him was found!"
"Trash!" the empress scolded with dissatisfaction: "Send the order and do your best to find the whereabouts of Mr. Tian Qin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The secret guard leader retreated.
But the Prime Minister showed a thoughtful look and chuckled: "If Mr. Tian Qin comes to assist Your Majesty, the empire will definitely become stronger and stronger!"
"I think so too!" the empress said subconsciously.
"Actually, I think he is more suitable to be your Majesty's prince!" the Prime Minister said again.
"Me too...!"
The empress who was led to reveal her true feelings immediately reacted and looked at the prime minister with a mischievous smile angrily. For some reason, she felt a little guilty when facing her eyes.
In a large mansion in Sixiang Prefecture, Qin Tian, who was lying on a chair, suddenly opened his eyes. The temple was charging enough to give him time to break through.
With a thought in his mind, he entered the temple in a flash. (To be continued)
