C209 Hanging Knife on top of His Head
The probability of that happening was one in ten thousand...
That was enough!
This group of officials immediately went all out!
New Dollar policy?
A small matter!
They were in a hurry to achieve meritorious deeds, so they immediately mobilized all their strength, from top to bottom, from the capital to the local officials. As long as they could contribute, they would do so.
On the one hand, they had to take the blame, and on the other hand, they had to completely suppress the matter.
Since the New Currency was in danger, they would use the Old Currency! Any previous policies could be changed.
After all, these officials understood that as long as their subordinates achieved good results in the local areas, they would be able to enter the capital for a few years. When that time came, they would be able to gain the upper hand in terms of seniority and rewards.
Prime Minister was definitely the most influential person in the world. At the very least, he had to convince the public.
A noble must be built up with great achievements. If the emperor could not reward him, then he must take out the land and everything would have a chance.
This...
This was the reason why Xiao Yun wanted the land!
To put it bluntly, it was impossible to make a deal that would offset the counterfeiting of the new currencies by relying on one person to attack the market. Even if this person was His Majesty or Xiao Yun, they would not be able to do it.
That was why they needed to mobilize the enthusiasm of all the officials. If everyone did something, they would do it. Gradually, there would be a chance for this matter to succeed.
It was still the same sentence.
When there was a high reward, there would always be a brave man!
His Majesty had finally figured out Xiao Yun's plan.
He was impressed and angry at the same time.
To put it bluntly, it was Xiao Yun who deceived His Majesty. Then, he drew a huge cake for all the civil and military officials in the court and drove them crazy. Even if it cost them their own benefits, they still needed credit for their achievements.
However, none of the officials knew that this was planned by Xiao Yun.
They would only think that this was a pie that the Emperor had drawn for them.
If there was still no one who would be conferred the title of King, they would hate the Emperor for giving them the wrong information. If they misunderstood, they would complain in their hearts, but it would not affect Xiao Yun at all...
How could His Majesty not be angry?
It had always been him who made others take the blame.
Now that he had taken the blame, he had still been deceived.
Only then did he realize that the feeling of taking the blame was especially bad!
However, it could not be denied that Xiao Yun's scheme really ended up with the problem that gave His Majesty the biggest headache right now.
Now, no one bothered him anymore, and everyone took the initiative to work.
It was simply too blissful!
However, regarding the issue of the new and old coins and the lack of copper coins, His Majesty was still distressed.
What should he do?
The king could not think of anything. The officials could not think of anything.
But the merchants... thought of something!
In the entire Great Qin Country, what kind of goods could be considered as hard currency?
Yi Dao!
The price was extremely high, but in terms of quality, it was always good and cheap!
Don't look at it as if it was an ornament.
But in reality, it could really be used on the battlefield!
It could still be used to fight against heavy armor. If it was a trick, then... He could cut through the gaps of heavy armor. This was the reason why he was able to do it. It was because the blade was very sharp, tough, and hard to break. The blade was light and easy to grasp the position and increase the speed. Therefore, for a veteran, cutting the neck... Not to mention a general.
If he used brute force, it would be even simpler.
Straight thrust!
They had tested it before. With the magical material of the blade, there was not a single heavy armor that could withstand a stab through the chest!
In particular, the most sophisticated blade was only six inches longer than an ordinary blade, but it was not to be underestimated. It could cut off the legs of a horse and the head of a horse, allowing the blade to not be at a disadvantage when fighting against cavalry.
So it was really hard currency, even the Sun Moon Country could prove it.
There was also a locust meat patty. This thing was carefully wrapped after being fried and dried. It was magically able to maintain its good condition for several years. In addition to its "special effect," not only was it very popular in the Great Qin Country's market, but it was also very popular. It was even sold overseas by smart vendors!
There were also the scattered items that Xiao Yun had made. Each of them could be considered as hard currency.
Their value was just there. Copper coins were not worth much, but they were all worth money.
And the things that could be exchanged for these hard currency were called... gold coins!
Businessmen were the most sensitive to currency, so they quickly discovered the value of gold notes.
Although the civilians did not notice it at first, when they used copper coins to buy goods, they were perfunctory to the merchants. Next to them was a person holding gold coins, and he treated him warmly. Soon, the transaction was completed, and he even gave a lot of discounts.
If they did not know that the gold coins were useful, they would be stupid.
The initial stage of the advertisement, the maintenance of the middle stage, and now facing the disaster, the subconscious judgment of the people to avoid danger allowed them to automatically choose the gold coins.
Thus, the use of the gold bills became more and more.
The distribution of the Gold Hidden Pavilion and the Depository of Gold was also increasing, and it even surpassed the overall storage of gold!
Wu Xi was alarmed and frightened by such a thing.
After he heard Xiao Yun's order, he immediately ran to the warehouse of the Depository Gold Prefecture. He counted the gold ingots one by one, and then naturally discovered that the amount of gold bills had exceeded the deposit. And now, Xiao Yun actually wanted him to distribute ten times the amount!
This...
Wasn't this a lie? Even lying to the entire country?
Of course Wu Xi was afraid.
He was originally a ruthless person who could covet money to save lives in the disaster relief. But now, facing Xiao Yun's means, he still felt that he was too childish!
He was simply childish and unsociable!
Thus, he wrote a letter. Before sending it out, he burned it for him and personally made a trip to the Imperial Prison to ask Xiao Yun this question.
When he asked this question, he had already checked the surrounding environment more than once or twice.
"Young Master Xiao, can you do this? This was a big problem. If something were to happen... It won't be His Majesty who wants to kill us, but the entire world! At that time, let alone our own lives... Even the entire family will not be able to live!"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "When this gold note is taken out and spread out, the matter will be done. If you feel guilty, you can tell others that the money has exceeded the gold reserve. Let's see what the world will do. They will shout that they want to kill us. They will either take the initiative to find a way to suppress this news. "
"Ah? Why? How is that possible? How can they take the initiative to pressure us? "
Xiao Yun didn't give a specific answer. He just asked Wu Xi to go back and do things in peace and try to be more diligent.
He needed a lot of gold coins at the moment, and so did Great Qin Country!
Wait! Everyone had left. Only when Shangguan Qing'er stood by his side did Xiao Yun remove the smile on his face. There was a trace of worry on his brow.
He exited the prison cell and walked to the outside of the Imperial Prison. He built a ladder and stood at the highest point on the roof of the Imperial Prison. Then, he sat there and allowed the cold wind to blow on him.
After a long time, as if talking to himself, he said, "I made a knife myself. The sharpest knife is hanging on my head. The handle of the knife is only holding a strand of hair. If the strand of hair is broken, my head will fall to the ground."
Shangguan Qing'er hurriedly asked, "Young Master, why did you do that?"
"Because in the current Great Qin Country, only this knife can save me!"
The distribution of the gold bills was extremely fast.
In fact, when the gold notes first appeared, the workshop did not stop for even a day. They were all working overtime to make the money and store it. Except for Xiao Yun and a few other core people, no one knew.
Now that it was going to be released, they could just take it out from the warehouse.
The appearance of large amounts of gold bills caused Wu Xi to tremble in fear.
But he had really underestimated the adaptability of the civilians.
It was originally a very novel thing, but the moment they came into contact with it, they immediately accepted it.
There was no resistance or resistance in between.
In fact, the resistance towards all new things came from the people who opposed each other's interests.
At this moment, there was no conflict of interest between the gold notes and anyone else!
Naturally, everything went smoothly.
Of course, this kind of smooth sailing still gave Zhao Wuji, Imperial Tutor Zhao, who was already overwhelmed with anxiety, a chance to get rid of the blame!
