Chapter 151: The Rise of the Empire (12)
Since Kunpeng was bloodied, the army that attacked Nantianmen, and slaughtered millions of troops and players, received the news that the army attacking Yuanlu City, as well as the players, set up camp as soon as possible and began to wait and see the current situation.
From Dream City to Yuanlu City, although the road has been nearly taken by the player, and the army has stepped out of a road to the sky, but as a developed wild and deep mountain, this road is still dense with jungles and lush vegetation, and the Chinese Empire is not allowed to block the road.
Therefore, the camps along the road are all settled in the grassland and woods, and this is almost a taboo for soldiers. Back then, Liu Bei led a large army to attack Eastern Wu, regardless of the dissuasion of the soldiers, directly in the woods, camped, resulting in the famous historical incident of burning the company camp for 700 miles.
It is precisely because such a thing has happened in history that Lao Jiu wants to try it, because this is a game after all, and no one knows what the consequences of doing this will be, so Lao Jiu has been hesitating.
But now that the situation is compelling, Lao Jiu really has no way out, and in desperation, he has no choice but to choose this path.
It was night, and the southeast wind was howling, as if to blow away the monstrous blood, resentment, and evil that filled the air. Lao Jiu sent the Qilin Legion to sprint down along the enemy camp, and he asked each Qilin horse to bring hay and flint to set fire to the mountain directly along the road.
Nearly 9,000 Qilin troops, divided into ten teams, almost every hundred miles or so, there was a pair of cavalry sneak attack, and then all the way to the direction of this Aocheng, just set fire along the road, less than a hundred miles away, for the Qilin army, it was too fast.
In just half an hour, before the camp could figure out what was going on, the howling southeast wind began to spread with a terrible fire. At this moment, history seems to be repeating itself, and the incident of burning the company camp appears in front of the player's eyes again.
You must know that the grass and trees in the game are not comparable in reality, burning, with the help of the wind, almost out of control, the flames that rush to the sky, almost tumbling dozens of meters high, with the southeast wind, all the way to the southwest.
By the time the army along the road reacted, the fire had spread, and if you looked at it from a high altitude, from Dream City to Yuanlu City, it was directly a fire, almost illuminating half of the sky, and all players and NPC armies directly began to flee for their lives.
At this moment, the power of people, in front of nature, seems so small. The enemy's camp, which stretched for hundreds of miles, was burned by Lao Jiu in this way, and the fire soared into the sky, and there was almost no appearance of extinguishing.
Counting from the escape of countless monsters, players, and NPC troops, the entire fire burned for nearly ten days, and the fire spread to the southwest, until it burned near the extinct volcanic group. This fire burned hundreds of kilometers of wilderness, and also burned out the hope in the hearts of countless people.
Maybe the system couldn't bear to watch the tragedy happen, after ten days of fire, the game began to rain heavily, this rain is three days and three nights, like the souls in this war are crying.
What is called burning the company camp for 700 miles, Lao Jiu explained it perfectly to everyone this time. After three days of heavy rain, it gradually became dripping, and those players who ran away in the wilderness, as well as the NPC army, dragged their tired steps before slowly returning.
Outside the dream city, you can see those embarrassed figures everywhere. At the forum, Lao Jiu was once again pushed to the peak of public opinion. In the past three months, after these wars, the Chinese Empire can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality.
Today's Nantianmen has become a taboo in the game, losing the best opportunity, and the intact Yuanlu City is no longer so easy to take. So far, after the First World War, the Chinese Empire has to admit the status of the Easy Empire in the game.
Just after the Chinese Empire gave up and conquered the Xiaoyao Empire, the gambling on the war, led by the Huaxia Empire and participated by more than a dozen large consortia, finally ended with the victory of the Xiaoyao Empire. For the gambling recognized by the system this time, it directly led to more than three consortia, which directly declared bankruptcy.
Not for anything else, just because Lao Jiu pressed it himself, the 100 million gold coins. At that time, the odds were one to one thousand, which almost made Lao Jiu make a fortune, and directly laid a solid economic foundation for his free empire.
After a few more days, the light rain just stopped, and it was the most important autumn harvest season of the year, after this war, the food of the Huaxia Empire and the Xiaoyao Empire had been basically consumed, and they could only maintain normal living needs.
Especially in the Huaxia Empire, since the opening of the area, the food in the game has been in short supply, and in the first quarter of this year, it was difficult to accumulate some grain and grass, but it was directly consumed by the battle for more than three months, especially a part, or burned by the old ninety-one.
The other part was also ruined by Kunpeng, so as soon as the grain was harvested, the surplus grain in the Huaxia Empire was almost completely purchased by the empire, and what Lao Jiu was able to buy was only a little bit of a contract with Dream City.
However, almost all the agricultural and sideline products in the Xiaoyao Empire were chartered by Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu also did not implement any hard-line policies, but only raised tariffs indefinitely, while he bought them at the normal price.
Due to the Xiaoyao Basin, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and when it was developed, in order to attract investment, many Huiming policies were implemented, so at that time, there were many players who came to the Xiaoyao Empire, and now it is the harvest season, although a large number of people are unwilling to sell the grain to Lao Jiu, but they cannot transport the grain out.
And the price given by Lao Jiu is also very reasonable, so in desperation, he can only sell the excess to the Xiaoyao Empire. With the development of time, the two empires gradually entered a stage of steady development, and there were no major conflicts.
After being recognized by the Chinese Empire, Lao Jiu is considered to be thorough and has a foothold in the game. Lao Jiu, who had money, began to build on a large scale in the empire, and he began to build cities on various arteries in the wilderness.
After the autumn rains, Nantianmen and Yuanlu City were also rebuilt. Especially in Yuanlu City, Lao Jiu directly changed the city wall to a height of 150 meters, and the outside was all built with reinforced concrete. With the continuous experimentation and transformation of several major factories.
The first batch of ceramics, ironware, as well as clothing and shoes in the Xiaoyao Basin also began to be officially listed, and at the same time, Lao Jiu established the largest Xiaoyao money village in the Xiaoyao Imperial City and began to formulate the currency of the Xiaoyao Empire.
This is a great reform in the development of the empire, of course, the system does not default to the random issuance of currency, so if you don't do it well, it will cause the currency to expand, and eventually lead to a financial crisis, so for the issuance of currency, the system still has many regulations.
However, the Empire is currently vast and sparsely populated, which is the best time to issue currency, and secondly, Lao Jiu got a large amount of gold coins this time, and he can be regarded as having a certain amount of capital, so he dares to issue currency.
The currency issued by Lao Jiu is actually very simple, it is paper money! It's just that the denomination is different, and almost all the goods in the game start at a copper coin, so Lao Jiu's banknote, the minimum denomination, is set as a free coin.
Taking RMB as a reference, Lao Jiu divided the free coins into two types, namely silver tickets and gold tickets! Silver tickets are from small to largest, and they are one, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, and one thousand denominations.
This is mainly made for the needs of daily life, and the golden ticket is different, which is one, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million as the face value of the golden ticket. And if you want to issue MEmu coins, you must communicate with the economic system of the MEmu Empire.
For example, if you produce a silver ticket of one million gold coins, the system will recycle one million gold coins from the empire, which is a bit equivalent to an exchange, but the currency you produce will not be able to circulate at that time, then it will be sad, and the system will not exchange it for you again.
If you don't get one right, maybe you'll change a bunch of waste paper, which may directly lead to the collapse of the empire. So in the early stage, Lao Jiu was still very cautious, just began to let people process silver tickets, this is very simple, as long as the conditions are provided with the system, the silver tickets you want will come out in minutes.
But the most important procedure is in the hands of Lao Jiu, that is, the important weapon of the country, Jiuding! If the silver ticket wants to be unique, it can only be stamped with the jade seal of Jiuding, so as to form a unique existence, which cannot be faked at all in the game.
Besides, if you create a silver ticket with a thousand denominations, you will have to consume one gold coin, and in this case, who would go to counterfeit it. After several studies, Lao Jiu finally determined what the first batch of Easy Coins would look like.
That is, the reverse side is printed with Super BOOS Kunpeng, and the front side is the Xiaoyao Imperial City, and the avatar of Lao Jiu, and then stamped with the Jiuding Great Seal of the Xiaoyao Empire! Once the large seal is stamped, different seals will appear on both sides of the front and back.
From the front, it is the four big characters of "Fengtian Carrier", and from the back, it has become the four big characters of "Yongzhou Ding". And Yongzhou Ding, it was Lao Jiu who took it from Wu Zetian, and chased and killed Lao Jiu from Wu Zetian, many people can guess that the Jiuding in Wu Zetian's hands must have fallen into Lao Jiu's hands.
It's just that few people knew the real role of Jiuding at that time, so they lost the best opportunity to snatch Jiuding, and later, as Lao Jiu continued to become stronger, snatching Jiuding from Lao Jiu's hands gradually became a luxury.
After determining the version of the Xiaoyao coin, Lao Jiu began to let the Xiaoyao Money Bank, make the Xiaoyao silver ticket, he had to first try it out in the empire, slowly, if it really worked, he would let his avatar spread throughout the game.
At that time, it will be true, and no one in the world will know you! This can be regarded as a wish of Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu's imagination is very beautiful, but it is really difficult to implement everything.
