Chapter 863: The End (IX)
The businessman said a lot, Li Yang and William had Chinese-style Heavenly Demon Clan dishes, and listened to them introduce overseas things with a bit of boasting, and they didn't listen in vain, the beer snacks were all invited by Li Yang, knowing that there were people here who wanted to know about overseas affairs, naturally more people came over, and after a while, just for a circle, a lively circle was formed during the party.
"If you want me to say, if one day in the future, there is a war with these demons, as long as they refuse to accept their gold coins and let their gold coins become waste coins in their territory, they will immediately have a famine, and when the time comes, they will starve to death one by one."
William and Li Yang listened for a long time, and William suddenly asked a question.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that in the future, is it possible to issue our banknotes to them?"
"Banknotes?" The audience fell silent all of a sudden, followed by a commotion, and one person said loudly: "This brother, this is a bit choking, although they are not smart, but they are very axial, and to be honest, it is difficult for them to understand why a piece of paper is worth more than a big gold coin." ”
"That is, even those demon people who come to Shanhaiguan to do large transactions, they would rather carry bags of gold and silver coins back than accept our paper money."
"For them, even if it weighs hundreds of catties, they won't dislike the weight of gold coins."
After talking to each other one by one, they express their opinions.
After eating this meal for more than two hours, they came out of a restaurant, looking at the lively streets, those unarmed demon people negotiated prices with the traders in simple Chinese, and those who could come to Shanhaiguan were also considered clever among the demon tribes.
"Actually, it's not impossible to issue banknotes to the demons." William thought for a long time and said.
"I know, but, it takes time, the language barrier between the two sides needs to become weaker, the vigilance of both sides becomes lower, the demon clan does not accept paper money, it is not the meaning of the demon nobles, although they are not smart, but they are not stupid, they know that gold and silver are naturally currency, even if it conflicts with us, it will not become nothing in an instant."
Li Yang said with a smile.
"In fifteen years, I will definitely have the opportunity to issue our banknotes to the demons."
William instantly had the motivation and purpose to work in his homeland.
"Actually, it's not just fifteen years, just like those people said, do you think that after fifteen years, even if the demon clan has fully recovered, will they still be able to fight us? These surrounding races, they have become accustomed to trading with us to get all kinds of luxury and exquisite goods, they will only rely on us more, even if the so-called people of insight think that they should fight us, they will not do it, as soon as the four major trading towns are closed, they will have nothing. ”
Li Yang said confidently.
"The premise is that we have the military might they fear."
William said with a smile.
"Five years ago, I was able to force them to sign an armistice, and fifteen years later, what awaits them will be an army that is still in combat and in greater numbers, and our new human plan is perfectly executed, you know, there are now 20 million babies and young children on the mainland, and last year there were 7 million newborns! I believe that under the policy, this will only increase! In fifteen years, there will be at least 100 million combatable soldiers under my rule, and when the time comes, will I be afraid of them? ”
"I am here to bless Your Majesty for a thousand years, and as long as you live, I feel that there is infinite hope for the future of mankind." William also showed a fanatical expression at this time, as if he had also seen the scene fifteen years later.
At that time, humanity will truly recover and stand on this earth again, eternal and immortal.
Li Yang calmly accepted the blessing, and then said, "I am very pleased that you can understand my ideas and are willing to implement them, William." ”
"Your Majesty's will is also William's wish."
The two of them wandered around the entire Shanhaiguan for a whole day and a night, even at night, there was no trace of tiredness to look at the prosperity of the whole city in the dark night, this can be said to be a 24-hour city without rest, every moment, the city gate is not closed, the prosperous scene makes William feel the difference between here and the south, there is too much money here, no wonder in the south, a steady stream of troops and materials can be sent over, just to expand the territory, to ensure the continuous consumption of the army's blood.
That's the essence.
Standing on the head of Shanhaiguan, Li Yang looked at the endless plain outside, and said: "This Shanhaiguan is a lock, he locks the door of foreign enemy invasion, and he also locks our way out, one day, our army will swagger and invinciblely break this shackle and spread the tentacles of our human beings again on this land!" Earth, one day will become the Earth of humanity again! ”
Looking at Li Yang's arrogance, William also followed Li Yang to watch the sun rise, this man has been for mankind all his life, even now, his original intention remains the same, this is the person worth following.
After watching the sunrise, Li Yang and William stepped on the return train, and he Li Yang couldn't leave Pingyang for too long.
On the train, Li Yang lay on the bunk and said: "William, this time the election registration has ended, and you have no chance to be the prime minister." ”
"I don't have a chance, who will be the prime minister, it's not a word from His Majesty."
"Smart people." Li Yang smiled and did not deny: "Wang Yuan is my candidate for prime minister, and then there will be three vice ministers, Chen Ang still occupies one of them, and the other two." ”
Li Yang looked at William and said, "You are one, Gao Bo is one." ”
"I'm the deputy minister?" William knew that he would be reused, but he didn't expect to be able to make him a real person.
"Well, Gao Bozhi is responsible for the construction of the local area, and I need you to grasp the business aspect, which is why I brought you to Shanhaiguan, for the economy and maritime trade in the south, you are one of the most familiar people, you have to grasp the local border trade as soon as possible, the money and food that the country needs to recuperate, but you are needed to operate."
William smiled, and he said: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and ten years later, I will send the banknotes printed with Your Majesty's portrait to the territory of the Demon Clan, so that he can circulate!" ”
"It's a chic rhetoric, and I'm sure you can do it."
On October 25, the much-rumored month-long election for the prime minister came to an end.
Unexpectedly, and expectedly, Wang Yuan was elected as the first prime minister, and three more vice ministers were added, namely Chen Ang, Gao Bozhi and William.
