Chapter 1017: Opportunity

When the imperial court was preparing to raise military salaries, an unexpected thing happened, that is, the entire Shengtian Dynasty actually had a financial crisis, which affected the entire country, and the imperial court actually ran out of money.

That's right, the rich imperial court can't get the military salary, this time it's not the people of the household department who shirk it, and it's not that someone is secretly stumbling, but it's really out of money, and the treasury is actually out of money.

When the household report came up, Emperor Guanghua and Empress Dowager Wei thought that it was just a scare and didn't care, but three days later, when the household department came up with solid evidence, everyone knew that the household department really had no money.

Another imperial court was furious, Emperor Guanghua sent three waves of ministers, and finally the unanimous conclusion was that there was indeed no money, and the household department not only ran out of money, but also owed a lot of money to the family.

This time it's interesting, Emperor Guanghua and Empress Dowager Wei, who don't understand the economy, were dumbfounded, a huge Shengtian Dynasty, there was an economic crisis, and it happened without warning.

At such a critical juncture, the imperial court has no money, which is bad news, although the imperial court does not hesitate to take out the reserve food for the winter to support the front line, but the problem of the spirit stone is not solved, and the front line is defeated without a fight.

Without spirit stones, the soldiers cannot be replenished, the masters are easy to fall into the realm, the city defense equipment cannot be urged, and even some defensive circles cannot be activated, so that the entire Chaotian City is a dead city.

Emperor Guanghua had no choice, so he issued three edicts in a row, raised spirit stones from all over the country, and barely managed to make up enough spirit stones for a big war.

Many people are excited, the imperial court has no money, the northeast region is not stable, the northwest is losing land and land, and the entire imperial court seems to be crumbling.

The Shengtian Sect is a cancer lying on the court to suck blood, the tax burden of the entire north is used locally, and there is no need to send it to the imperial court, and these rich places in the south are all the territories of the Shengtian Sect, and the tax burden that can be collected can be imagined, leaving the Central Plains with some harvest, it can be said that the war and the Shengtian Sect have sucked the whole country to the death.

Although the Sheng Tianjiao pretended to come up with a batch of resources, it is still unknown whether Chaotian City can hold it, and now everyone is passing the buck to each other and making a mess, but the front line has not been able to get strong support for a long time, but there are a few hundred people here today, and a few masters will come tomorrow.

Emperor Guanghua naturally knew that this would not work, and hurriedly sent out many of the great masters to worship, but Chaotian City was not strong in the first place, even if a lot of resources were taken out to build it, it was still unstable, which was well known to everyone.

The economic crisis swept the whole country, prices soared, taxes were unfavorable, and the dynasty was furious, but there was no one who understood the economy to solve it.

In fact, the reason for this economic crisis is also very interesting, that is, the loss of the northwest region, resulting in the loss of an important spiritual stone-producing area, and the recent small spiritual stone mining areas are close to exhaustion, and the trade routes in the northeast are not smooth.

There are not enough spirit stones, and they will appear at that time in all dynasties, but why can it cause such a strong economic crisis, causing the entire country to fall apart?

The reason is still on the side of the Sheng Tian Sect, it turns out that when the country was founded, the spiritual stone production area of the entire dynasty was still very rich, otherwise it would be impossible for the Sheng Tian Sect to establish a dynasty here.

And the rich spirit stone resources made the entire Shengtian Sect and even the Shengtian Dynasty a little fluttery, so the Shengtian Dynasty set a fixed ratio of retail and silver.

This fixed rate was convenient for the merchants, and it was also convenient for the soldiers in the border wilderness, and from then on, as long as the imperial court issued a receipt, anyone could withdraw spirit stones or silver from the money bank opened by the imperial court.

This system ensured the glory of the Shengtian Dynasty for hundreds of years, and countless families seized the opportunity to rise little by little, and many sects in remote areas also relied on this system to barely maintain.

But who knows that by now, that is, at this recent time, the entire Shengtian Dynasty has lost almost one-third of the spirit stone production area, one-third, the output of previous years can almost have a slight surplus, but now it is a very serious loss.

There are fewer spirit stones, and all the big families have begun to artificially hoard spirit stones, and all the silver bills have been exchanged for spirit stones, so that the run of the big families and the run of the scattered cultivation sects are colluded together, and the whole country can have spirit stones, and the household department has only discovered this situation in the end.

Originally, the Shengtian Dynasty and the Shengtian Sect wore a pair of pants, even if the spirit stone was not enough, it was a big deal to transfer it from the Shengtian Sect, pay the principal and interest, and wait for the spirit stone to be abundant and then change it back.

The household is stupid, but Sheng Tianjiao is not stupid, after discovering the signs, Sheng Tianjiao immediately tightened his money bag, the spirit stone is only in and out, although there is no way to squeeze the household, but in this way, the entire money shortage is even more intense.

The food is not enough, and the royal family can be transferred from other states and counties, but the spirit stone is not enough, and the Shengtian Dynasty is powerless, because most of the spirit stone production areas are in the hands of the clans of the family, and there are very few in the hands of the imperial court.

The royal family is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the family is not easy, even the Shengtian Sect is a little powerless, and it is also a great loss for them to hold on to their money bags, and in just a few days, there has been a kind of decline and a depression in the entire Shengtian Dynasty.

Many people in the market have begun to not accept the silver tickets of the imperial court, but to collect real money, these days, how can a paper ticket be reliable? It has to be real money to be reliable, even if it is possessed by Emperor Taizu of Guanghua, it is difficult to turn the tide.

In the end, it is said that the entire imperial court unified the caliber, first temporarily banned the large-scale trading of spirit stones, and the various families got together, and the royal family also took out some money, first stabilized the northeast and northwest, not seeking to be aggressive, just to be stable, and then went to other countries to exchange some.

It is not so simple to exchange with other countries, you can only temporarily buy a part of it at a high price, and then increase the mining efforts, take people to fill it, no matter what, you must solve the problem of spirit stones in the first time.

Now the imperial court can also come up with this emergency solution, there is no other way, hey, poor to talk about Emperor Guanghua, just encountered this matter in person.

However, Wang Changsheng seemed to see an opportunity and felt that it was a good opportunity.
