Xun Jiayuan had no choice.
There is no other way but to drink poison to quench thirst.
There is a lot of gold stored in the national treasury, but Xun Jiayuan has no way to cash out the gold. The main reason why he did business with Li Zhen was to realize the idea of turning gold into cash.
He can't use gold to pay soldiers, can he? You can't exchange gold for supplies, right
Cut and separate gold into different sizes and weights. This is not a simple matter.
Just print money.
Xun Jiayuan knew the consequences of printing money. But now that his butt was burning, there was nothing he could do. It can only be said to be an emergency.
The Minister of Finance also knew that Xun Jiayuan had no choice but to print money. Without printing money, there is no way to fight wars.
Forty thousand people are sent out to fight. Forty thousand people need food, drink, and other expenses. This is a lot of money. The court couldn't get it out.
Gather all the soldiers from around Zhongzhou in Balong City to prepare for an ironclad victory. Gathering so much manpower in Balong City also requires money. The court still couldn't get it out.
That's just printing money. Nothing can be accomplished without printing money.
Ten million coins is not much. But this is just the beginning…
Printing money is like a set of dominoes. If you push the first one down, the next one will be pushed down one by one, and it will be impossible to stop it.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time.
The first time it was 10 million, and the second time I couldn’t tell how much it would be, it would definitely be more.
When it reaches a certain value, the depreciation of Kyushu currency begins. The phenomenon of inflation will burst out like a fierce beast in an instant, and no one can stop it.
When the economy collapses, inflation occurs. Without others to fight, the court itself would be finished.
The chancellor knows what the drawbacks are and knows that money now has to be printed. Secretly contacted the money printing factory and began printing Kyushu coins quickly...
Ten million coins of new money appeared in Balong City and were dispersed. No one was aware of the origin of the money, they just thought the money was new. But it's real money. No one doubted it.
Emergency.
——
One day later, at night. Scouts took the news to Southeastern State.
After Xun Shifei saw the news, his first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was that he had been deceived.
"Junior, junior, you promised not to fight for the world, and you will help me to rise to the top. Now... now you don't mean what you say."
Xun Shifei was very anxious. Seeing that his plan was about to come true, Li Zhen suddenly intervened. It disrupted the entire plan and turned the entire Kyushu into a muddy water.
But Xun Shifei could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
Wang Sandao was also worried: "They defeated Hebi County in three minutes. How strong is this Dongzhou army?"
Xun Shifei huffed and puffed and said nothing.
Wang Sandao sighed: "He has already entered Xinxiang County and is very close to Balong City. What should we do now? If we let him knock down Balong City and occupy the center of the imperial court, then he will just say a word , all the forces of the imperial court will surrender. If we are united with Dongzhou, we will have nothing to worry about in this world."
Xun Shifei said coldly: "Have someone analyze our current military strength to see if we can defeat Dongzhou."
Wang Sandao sighed and shook his head: "There is no need to analyze this. We definitely can't defeat it. At least we can't break the city in three minutes. We don't have that kind of strength. I heard that all the troops in Dongzhou are armed to the teeth. Now... they are equipped In this era, victory is not won by manpower and courage. Fighting for manpower will only cost your life."
"The main weapons used all over the world now are still swords, guns and clubs, and only small-scale armies use firecrackers. But the firecrackers in Dongzhou have become popular, and the main weapon is firecrackers. There is also a super firearm, a cannon. How many deaths will there be? How much. If we can't even touch the edge of Dongzhou, our entire army will be annihilated."
Xun Shifei sighed: "Then what should I do? What should I do? In order to rule the world, I have endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden for so many years. Seeing that I was about to succeed, I fell short. This junior student of mine has never cared about me from the beginning. , he wanted to conquer the world from the beginning."
Xun Shifei was about to cry.
What else can be done
Everyone was frightened when they heard about the strength of the Dongzhou troops in attacking Hebi County. This is not something you can do just by forcing yourself on it, nor can it be done just by having more people. Dongzhou is so rich, it is the richest place in Kyushu. The firepower is so fierce that it is the most powerful place in Kyushu.
With just these two things, he alone stands at the top, who can beat him
Xun Shifei sighed fiercely: "Well, let's watch it now. Look behind us first. Now at this juncture, we can only wait and see what happens. There is no other way."
Wang Sandao also slapped his thigh directly: "Is it possible that we worked hard to conquer the two states and made so much preparations. Are we just doing good things for Li Zhen? I don't accept it."
"I'm not convinced either!"
Xun Shifei was about to cry but had no tears. He felt that he had really underestimated this junior fellow student. He had underestimated him too much.
——
New Yuan Kingdom.
Jiang Tianqi was placed under house arrest in Quancheng County. Now Du Taiping is secretly in charge.
Du Taiping hasn't been to the court for a long time. He feels that there is no need to stay in the court. Returning to the Xinyuan Kingdom is the right way and this is his own territory.
When Du Taiping heard the news from Hebi County, he was stunned with fear: "This... is so fierce!"
"Hebi County defeated the city in three minutes. All Xinxiang County came out to welcome them and took the initiative to welcome the Dongzhou Army passing by as they entered the city."
Du Taiping took a breath of air: "How can it be so powerful? This is different from what was promised before. Doesn't Dongzhou only have money? Why is it so powerful?"
"Everyone in Dongzhou is armed to the teeth. Only with money can they have so many armed forces. Hebi County has not seen the shadow of Dongzhou troops, and the city has been destroyed. The city tower is just a decoration."
Du Taiping sighed secretly: "Fortunately, I am a business partner with Dongzhou now. Fortunately, I have never been an enemy of Dongzhou."
“…”
The whole world was shocked.
Everyone has an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Dongzhou Army. invincible!
And at this time. Just when Hebi County was leaderless and in chaos. Wu Yangyang's troops entered Hebi County again.
"The Dongzhou troops are coming!"
"here we go again."
"This time there are 50,000 people. Everyone, run."
"You're not going to kill us again, are you?"
“…”
These 50,000 troops, led by Liu Jinghong, went straight to Hebi County.
When the people from Dongzhou who came to reinforce Li Zhen arrived in Hebi County, they only saw ruins. They arrested a few people and asked about the situation before they knew the situation.
Without any delay, 50,000 people marched quickly again, heading towards Xinxiang County without stopping for a minute.
The world was shocked again.
Not counting the 20,000 troops. Everyone thought that those 20,000 people were already the main force.
However, when the reinforcements of 50,000 people arrived, it was suddenly discovered that Dongzhou seemed to have endless troops...
