Chapter 116: Wei's Arms Race
The silence in the huge palace was unusual, revealing a kind of tranquility on the eve of a storm, as if dark clouds had covered the entire hall, "Bang... Who can tell me what happened to this ancient family that Xia Jia Town finally came to?"
Under the tall throne stood hundreds of Wenchen military generals, but none of them made a sound, yes, the origin of the ancient family in this Xia family town is too mysterious, no matter how many people have been sent recently, no useful clues have been found.
Now there are serious financial and economic problems in Wei, mainly due to the impact of the umbrella film industry and the vigorous novel market, resulting in less and less currency in circulation, in fact, this should not happen to a small movie and novel. Moreover, the arrival of movies and novels has also attracted many monks from other countries to come and buy, which should also drive the circulation of the entire market.
But the problem is that this Xiajia Town seems to be a huge black hole, all the resources are only in and out here, and they are also promoting their own products through various channels in the wholesale and retail industry, such as jade, plastic, glass products, etc., through the promotion of a large number of these products, the funds that can be supplied to the circulation of the entire feudal country are not enough, and now there is a shortage of money in several counties around Xiajia Town.
Although this trend has not yet spread to the entire Great Wei Kingdom, Xiajia Town has already begun to show its hideous economic fangs, and many areas have begun to use a paper product to replace the existing gold and silver circulation.
Originally, these things would not lead to the economic problems of the entire Wei State, but recently the Zhao State seems to have stepped up the expansion of armaments, which is a bad sign, the Wei State itself is weaker than the Zhao State, and it must also expand its armaments, so that a dead circle is formed, in the endless expansion of armaments with each other, the Wei State suddenly found that it did not have enough stones, even gold and silver were not much left.
These were originally the armaments provided in the treasury, but now they can only be changed from the private pocket of the Yellow Emperor of Wei. But it wasn't until a few days ago that the Yellow Emperor of Wei didn't know that there was a small and remote place, Xiajia Town, and now this seemingly small town is absorbing resources from all sides at a flying speed.
Moreover, this kind of absorption is simply a barbaric predatory absorption, and the way of only entering and not leaving makes everyone disgusted, what kind of behavior is this? This is the corner of the Great Wei Kingdom. When the King of Wei found out about this, he was excited, but he could not force the import of these goods and had to close a series of industries in Xiajia Town, such as movies.
Because they are legitimately operated, all the substances that go out of Xiajia Town are taxed. Therefore, there is no justification for sending troops to fight against this matter, and if troops are not sent to fight against it, no one in the huge bureaucratic system can come up with a feasible solution to this matter.
This made the Wei Emperor furious, and in the end he could only issue three orders in a row, and first monitor this small and emerging force in order to find out their weaknesses and find out where they came from.
In today's court meeting, Emperor Wei listened to the report of the old prime minister, and only then did he know that the impact of this so-called movie in the capital, and the visual impact he brought can definitely shock the vast majority of mortals and monks.
But when Emperor Wei watched an episode with the tablet in his hand, he was still angry, and the ministers were all puzzled, why was Emperor Wei so angry? In fact, the root of Emperor Wei's anger was that he found that he was also fascinated by it, and immediately wanted to watch the second episode.
If it is a normal person, of course, this is even more like this, the theater of this umbrella company is full every day, how much gold, silver and spirit stones will be received that year? It is impossible to imagine that according to the current development momentum, the corner of this Great Wei Kingdom will be hollowed out by the umbrella company sooner or later.
The second thing that is angry is, what is this magic weapon that can show the picture? Even as Emperor Wei, he doesn't know that Emperor Wei feels that he is sitting on the four seas, what treasure has he never seen? There is such a magic weapon in this world, and I heard the prime minister say that the function of this little magic weapon is really incomparably complex and powerful. It's just that you can watch some movies and stuff like that, and you can do a lot of things.
Emperor Wei probed through its surface for a long time with his spiritual sense, and found that except for some incomparably complex metal wirings and some rune-like things written on it, there was nothing that could be produced in Wei State. Because it was so complicated, and there were so many metals and other substances that he didn't even know what they were.
The power of this Xiajia Town is really incredible, I don't know how many similar secrets are behind them?But what Emperor Wei doesn't know now is the soft power of cultural invasion. This kind of power is even more terrifying, because now Xiajia Town has mastered part of the right to speak in the surrounding counties of Wei State.
This right to speak seems to be useless, but it can subtly change the views of some monks and mortals about this world, so that they are full of reverence for Xiajiazhen, or some crazy movie friends even feel that Xiajiazhen is a holy place, and they have to go to join Xiajiazhen no matter what, even if they can't join, they have to go on a pilgrimage.
I believe that slowly this kind of discourse will continue to ferment in the entire Wei Kingdom, and sooner or later there will be countless fans of Xiajiazhen, if the Great Wei Kingdom wants to be unfavorable to Xiajizhen, it is impossible, because too many people think that everything in Xiajiazhen is good. They are all perfect and desirable, and Xiajiazhen is the most noble representative in their minds. And Xiajiazhen's attack on the Great Wei State is a nightmare for the Great Wei State, because there may be countless leading parties overnight.
There will be countless monks who will criticize the injustice of the Great Wei State, help Xiajiazhen and even directly surrender to Xiajiazhen's forces.
These Wei Emperors don't know for the time being, he is only considering a very superficial level now, I believe that in the near future, his frightened eyes will definitely fall, and at that time, the entire Great Wei Kingdom will have no way to deal with a small Xiajia Town.
Now all the main energy of Wei is still on the arms race with Zhao, and there is no effort to deal with this small Xiajiazhen force, but as a fairly mature politician, the Yellow Emperor of Wei certainly can't let it go.
Just as the Manchu Dynasty was in a daze, a monk wearing a gorgeous monk's uniform came out and said, "Your Majesty, our main energy is to face the invasion of the Zhao State, and the minister thinks that Xiajia Town will not be able to make much waves. So he thought that he could mobilize 200,000 horses near Jijun to set foot in this small Xiajia town first, grabbed all those ancient family members, and forced them to ask them how to make these strange things. ”
