Chapter 382: Too Big to Fail

Gu Yang's seizure of Liang Xiaoxing was not for money, but to impact the influence of Crystal Island, only by letting the neighbors know that the pirates of Horror Island could not be provoked, and the royal family of Crystal Island could not be relied on, could Valan Island project its influence and promote the defense of pirate alliances.

It is only within the framework of the "Anti-Pirate Alliance" that Guyang Doting can integrate the raw material market and continue to promote the industrial revolution. As for the sales market, Gu Yang's target is Crystal Island and the Yuanming Mainland. If you can do these two things, you won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.

Not long after Gu Yang returned to the aircraft carrier headquarters, David suddenly came to report:

"Your Excellency, the unknown fleet has been discovered!"

"Huh?"

Gu Yang frowned, flicked his fingers, activated the formation screen on the opposite wall, and saw that between the sea and the sky, a sail fleet was coming. The sails are colorful, as if they were all sorts of badges.

"It's the Crystal Island Royal Fleet!"

David immediately recognized the identity of this fleet, and then took out the communication magic weapon and looked at it, and said in surprise:

"Your Excellency, they are going to surrender to us......"

"You go and accept their surrender. ”

Gu Yang is not surprised, every princess of Crystal Island has her own power, she captured Liang Xiaoxing, if Liang Xiaoxing's followers continue to resist, it will not be a feudal system.

"Me?"

Flattered, David happily asked:

"Do you want to disarm or not, where are the people locked up......"

Gu Yang coughed lightly and said:

"Collect their guns and ammunition, charge 10,000 cents per person, and release them directly. ”

David didn't know how to agree, opened his mouth and said embarrassedly:

"Your Excellency, can I not go ......?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yang raised his eyebrows, David shrank his neck, and immediately retreated, the "alpaca" in his heart ran wildly, it was really embarrassing......

The royal fleet is worthy of coming from Crystal Island, and the people on the ship are all very rich, even if they are the most ordinary monks, they do not frown when they take out 10,000 immortal coins. Gu Yang then towed more than 60 warships into the shipyard, and all but three were converted into supply ships, and the rest were converted into merchant ships......

"Outside! Outside! Merchant ship auction, 10,000-ton giant ship with a starting price of one million, bank loan to help auction, come and see 'Matthew's New Deal'!"

"Outside! Outside! The acres of land are divided equally, the agricultural machinery is given in vain, the bank pays money, and the finance is back, come and see the 'Matthew New Deal'!"

"Give me one!"

"I want one too!"

"Damn, it's really fake, a ship is not as expensive as a car!"

"Nonsense, the ship was paid by the fleet, the car was built by itself, can it be the same!"

"Cut, it's just that the hound went to prove his worth and caught a rabbit and came back to ask for credit. Compared with those 10 billion, these broken ships are still far behind......"

"It doesn't matter how it came about, such a big ship is so cheap, if you can win one, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"What the hell is that average land right, the good fields are all in the hands of the lords, can people let go!"

The existence of nobles and lords was originally a trampling on the Tiangang Code, and I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. It's too fast, it's too aggressive, it's going to be messy......"

......

In feudal times, the spoils of war were distributed by the monarch, and it was a great sin to possess them privately. The auction of the spoils of war is the standard action of the primitive accumulation of capital. It is foreseeable that after these more than 60 ships are sold at a low price, the first batch of private capitalists in Daoting will be created.

Capitalism is what Gu Yang needs, but capitalist society is what Gu Yang tries to prevent, because capitalist society will destroy capitalism. A humanistic society dominated by the middle class is Guyang's ideal social form.

The so-called middle class does not refer to people who have a car and a house, or how much income and savings, but people with core competitiveness, who can be intellectuals, technical elites, management talents, shop owners, workshop owners, or small farmers......

It takes a lot of resources and decades to create a formation mage, but it only takes a hundred acres of land and a small tractor to create a small farmer, and it takes a month at most. Therefore, Gu Yang asked the ruling government to introduce a land reform policy: confiscate the land of the aristocracy, establish small farms, and each peasant household was given a multi-purpose tractor and undertook certain public affairs, which was equivalent to forced labor in ancient China.

The tractor is designed and produced by Guyang Automobile Company, and the cost is controlled below 1,000 yuan. The first batch of 1 million units, paid for by the Valan Island's finances, can create a million middle-class families within a year, which is definitely a powerful sedative for Valan Island society.

Valan Island has more than half of the arable land, but the high-quality land around the Metaverse Vein is in the hands of the big and small lords. It is not easy for a feudal lord to give up his land, and it is even more difficult to give up his subjects. Fortunately, the strength of Daoting is on the rise, and the Valan Island stock market is also on the rise, and the problem is not unsolvable.

Gu Yang sat in the fleet, coffee in hand, browsing the forum while thinking of a better way. The sea breeze around him was light, and the roar of fighter planes taking off and landing was in his ears, and everything was safe. With soldiers, even if there is no better way, the nobles will not be able to turn the sky.

Suddenly, a channel was connected, Gu Yang connected it casually, and a black-robed old man wearing a dragon claw badge appeared in front of Gu Yang, it was the consul Matthew.

Matthew clenched his fists and said with a wry smile:

"Your Excellency, the pirates of the Terror Island have been selling stolen goods on Valan Island, and the foreign exchange continues to flow out, and it can't last long. The central bank suggested that exchange controls be introduced, otherwise the exchange rate would be decoupled. ”

"How long can it last. ”

Gu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.

The immortal coin standard is the basis of Valan Island's monetary hegemony, and if it is abandoned, Guyang Daoting will be finished. Not only will bond investors lose all their money, but new bonds will not be issued. Guyang Bank will go bankrupt due to a run, Guyang Automobile and Guyang Aircraft will be unsalable due to rising raw material prices, Guyang Real Estate will lose all its capital recently acquired, and Guyang capital will collapse across the board......

"Half a month at most. ”

Matthew clearly knew the seriousness of the problem, and his face was very serious.

Gu Yang's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Hold on!"

"What to take and hold ......"

Matthew spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"Do you know what it means to be too big to fail?"

Gu Yang smiled coldly and cut off the communication.

The problem is more serious than imagined, just the resources plundered by Terror Island from Dragonstone Island will definitely not be able to defeat Guyang Daoting's foreign exchange market, unless they take out all the inventory.

It may seem like Valan Island is taking advantage, but in a complex system, any variable that is too large can cause the system to crash. The only solution to the dumping problem is for Valan Island to expand its exports and increase its penny reserves.

Gu Yang opened the map again, and after a moment, his eyes were cold, and he ordered:

"The fleet went to the waters of Chiyan Island for training. ”

David didn't know why, but immediately carried out the order.

Gu Yang sent out another message, and after a while, a golden rainbow broke through the sky, and then turned into a beautiful girl and floated on the deck, her clothes and hair fluttering with the air jet of the carrier-based aircraft, outlining a graceful curve.

"I heard that my senior brother has made a fortune in the arms business recently, so he shouldn't think of me at this time, and it won't be that there is something wrong. ”

The girl looked up and greeted, it was Liang Xiaoyue.

"Whoever gets rich is not silent, of course it's a good thing to find you. ”

Gu Yang invited Liang Xiaoyue into the headquarters, directly opened the map of Chiyan Island, and said:

"You see, the entire Chiyan Island is actually a low-grade fire immortal vein. In the past, the 'Heavenly Monarchs' were just digging some chiyan mines, but what if a large array of island protection was arranged and the Yuan Qi Field was developed?"

Liang Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said disapprecantly:

"If you want to develop the vitality of Chiyan Island, in addition to a huge amount of resources, you also need at least one Immortal Array Master. With this energy, what is wrong to do, you have to run to the place where this bird doesn't. If the main peak is developed, it will be blocked by other vitality veins, who has this leisure. ”

Gu Yang pointed to himself, waved his sleeves, and said:

"I use the formation as a shareholder, you and the big and small lords of Chiyan Island as a shareholder with land, and the Waran Island monk as a shareholder with funds. As long as this plan can be completed, Chiyan Island will become the most suitable place for cultivation. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to have both income and a source of income?"

"Are you so kind?"

Liang Xiaoyue looked suspicious, poured herself a cup of tea, and said with a smile:

"Say it, condition. ”

"It's simple. ”

Gu Yang stretched out a finger and smiled:

"All output is denominated in Guyang Coins, and of course taxes are paid to your Governor's Mansion in Guyang Coins......"

Liang Xiaoyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked unhappy. If you want to use other people's money, you are still a governor.

"I'm not trying to make your money, but I'm going to use your resources to help you make money. ”

Gu Yang smiled and said earnestly:

"With this income, you are a true governor. If you are worthy of this governor, we have more cooperation projects to discuss, such as the establishment of a joint currency reserve board between the Bank of Chiyan Island and the Bank of Valando to jointly issue Guyang coins......"

Liang Xiaoyue has watched "Financial Alchemy", even if she doesn't know how to do it, she knows what a big concession Gu Yang's "Monetary Joint Reserve Bureau" is, and she can't help but wonder:

"It can't be that something is wrong with Valan Island......

"Not yet. ”

Gu Yang denied it, and said:

"Mutual respect for core interests between the strong is the basis of all cooperation, and I am just trying to avoid the situation in the future. If the project is successful, it could be replicated on other islands. Maybe it won't be long before we can unify the archipelago kingdoms. ”

"Okay, I'll fly back to Chiyan Island now. ”

At this point, Liang Xiaoyue no longer hesitated, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, what are you going to do with my seventeenth sister, do you really want to ask for a ransom of 10 billion to Crystal Island?"

"The attitude of Crystal Island is more important than the ransom of 10 billion. ”

Gu Yang shook his head, looked at the map and smiled:

"I just want everyone to know what a decaying and weak dynasty the Crystal Isle is. They didn't respond to the matter in the first place, and they already lost. You can persuade her to join the Dao Court, at least it's much better than being in a precarious situation over there. ”
