Chapter 396: The Story of the Wolf and the Shepherd Dog

"It's not that I want to do business with Daoyou, I'm just here to discuss a business with Daoyou on behalf of the palace. ”

Hua Yurong smiled and said:

"The 'Mercury car' could not meet the demand of the crystal island, and the royal government wanted to buy the production line of the 'Jupiter' car. This is a mutually beneficial transaction, and the price is open with the Taoist. As a sign of good faith, we are willing to withdraw our troops from Dragonstone. As long as everyone can do business, why fight and kill?"

Gu Yang was a little surprised......

More than a month ago, the reorganized Democratic Army of Longshi Island launched a counteroffensive with the support of air firepower, and marched forward all the way. I don't know if it was because the defenders were all bought, or because they were frightened by the aircraft carrier battle group, everywhere the democratic army went, the big and small lords all opened the city and surrendered, and they didn't encounter much resistance at all.

Liang Xiaoshuang's 50,000 "Heavenly Army" may have misjudged the determination of the Guyang Daoting or the combat effectiveness of the Democratic Army, and since the landing, they have been stationed at the Longya Wharf on the north side of Longshi Island without the slightest movement. The Valan Island Air Force also did not bomb Longya Pier, and the two sides were safe.

Now, the Democratic Army has encircled Dragonstone. However, Longshi City is a fortified city, with high walls and deep waters, and a large moat, so the democratic army cannot attack it at all, and the two sides are deadlocked.

At this time, Liang Xiaoshuang could have taken the democratic army by surprise, but they would also be trapped on Longshi Island forever, and no one would have such an awareness of ruining their future for the sake of the "Longshi Dao people". The current "Longshi Daoren" is chicken ribs for Crystal Island, Gu Yang thinks that Crystal Island's original intention is to withdraw the army, and the assembly line that came to buy the "Jupiter car" is just looking for a step.

Come out and mix, you have to give each other face. Gu Yang weighed it a little and said with a smile:

"If Crystal Island withdraws its troops from Dragonstone first, we can consider selling the final assembly line of the 'Jupiter Car'. ”

"Good!"

Hua Yurong patted her thigh, immediately took out a storage bag, and said with a smile:

"Daoyou is really a cheerful person, this is a deposit. ”

Gu Yang's divine sense swept away, and then shook his head:

"I'm sorry, I can't accept your deposit until the second princess retreats, and we only accept 'Guyang Coins'. ”

"Uh......"

Hua Yurong smiled awkwardly and put the storage bag back......

Half an hour later, Hua Yurong left the villa, but Gu Yang shook his head, not taking the matter to heart, but the decisiveness of Crystal Island was beyond his expectations.

A day later, the Crystal Island Military Department announced the withdrawal of troops from Dragonstone.

Two days later, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Crystal Island announced that he would send a high-level delegation to the island of Valan for negotiations.

On the third day, the Dragon Stone City was broken, and the whereabouts of the Dragon Stone Dao people were unknown. Qi Fei, the eldest disciple of the Dragonstone Daoist and the leader of the Democratic Army of Longshi Island, then announced that he would join the "Anti-Pirate Alliance". At this point, Guyang formally unified all the islands except Crystal Island.

Gu Xiaomeng's request is not unified in form, but in substance, which involves the cost of survival. In the case of two adjacent landmasses, geographical unification can lead to market unification, thereby reducing the cost of subsistence for all. But for two islands separated by 100,000 miles. If the economy is not developed enough, it makes little difference whether it is unified or not.

For Guyang Daoting, if you want to eat the Crystal Island, you must first substantially unify the surrounding islands, and then you can concentrate manpower and material resources to fight a war of unification.

If we want to be unified, we must first develop. If you want to develop, you must first accumulate capital. As a result, after a round of negotiations, "Guyang Industrial" agreed to sell an assembly line for "Jupiter" cars to the "Crystal Automobile Company" for 5 billion yuan. Crystal Island agreed that Crystal Island Bank would join the "Federal Reserve" and settle bilateral trade in Guyang currency.

Once the agreement was signed, everyone inside and outside the Crystal Islands was shocked. The Guyang Provincial Court regarded it as a major diplomatic victory, but the Crystal Island was scolded, Prime Minister Othello resigned in anger, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Luo Ya replaced the prime minister.

Someone who is interested will find out that this is a story of a wolf and a shepherd dog colluding to drive away the leader, and the major shareholder of Crystal Island Bank is none other than the Crystal Palace.

In the capital market, the monetary business is definitely the biggest fat, and it is impossible for the royal family to turn a blind eye. Moreover, there is another advantage of issuing "Guyang coin" loans, that is, the hard currency is still in its own treasury, and what is released is just a pile of paper, but what is earned is purchasing power.

Under the "Monetary Joint Reserve" system, the right of withdrawal of commercial banks is based on the amount of cents in reserve. With the huge reserves of cents in the Crystal Island Bank, as soon as it joined the "Federal Reserve", it directly accounted for one-fifth of the right to withdraw.

What is the concept of one-fifth of the right of withdrawal, if the "Federal Reserve" wants to lend ten yuan of Guyang coins, the Crystal Island Bank can get two yuan. If the "Federal Reserve" were to subscribe for a ten-dollar bond, Crystal Island Bank would also receive a fifth-of-the-gain. If the "Federal Reserve" wants to issue a ten-dollar bond, Crystal Island Bank can subscribe for a two-dollar bond. The specific scale of the operation is determined by the economic situation and the total reserves of immortals.

This paper agreement made Crystal Island Bank a financial situation that could directly affect the entire Guyang Daoting. It can also be said that this paper agreement allowed the financial network of Guyang Daoting to capture the barbarian outside the Crystal Island Bank in one fell swoop.

Due to the surge in immortal currency reserves, tens of billions of "Guyang coins" were lent out by the Federal Reserve. The abundant liquidity has directly boosted the share price and house prices of Valan. Those who have a house are addicted, and those who don't have a house are miserable. Gu Yang was busy reorganizing the Longshi Dao Democratic Army, and the situation was very good.

The most precious thing about an army is not weapons, not provisions, not command, but veterans. As soon as the guns rang out, only veterans dared to charge at the enemy. Shells hit, and only veterans knew where to hide. Supplies are cut off, and only veterans can survive. So the veterans don't die, they just wither.

Although the Dragonstone Civil War was bloody, it cultivated tens of thousands of veterans. Whether it is the government army or the democratic army, there is no shortage of brave and good fighters. For such a windfall, Gu Yang naturally couldn't let it go.

The convoy slowly entered Dragonstone City with a low roar, and a gray-toned ruin appeared in Gu Yang's field of vision, and only a ring of city walls was intact. He hadn't been to Dragonstone, and he didn't know what the city was like in the past, and he could only imagine its prosperity from the shattered beast sculptures.

Gu Yang sat on the open-top jeep with a slight frown, looked at David on the side and asked:

"Who let you carpet bomb. ”

David spread his hands and said with a wry smile:

"We blew up the Colosseum and the pool of blood, but the moats bounced off the shells, and we can't be blamed. ”

After rounding the ruins, the convoy came to a wall several feet high. The walls were so thick that only one truck could pass through them, and David said:

"This is the Colosseum, protected by a magic circle, and all the prisoners of war are kept inside. This hole is dedicated to entering demon beasts, and there is another one on the opposite side, and sometimes people will enter. The audience went up the stairs next to it to watch, and it used to be full every day, and the annual ticket revenue was no less than 100 million cents. ”

"So many ......"

Gu Yang's spirits perked up, and he coughed lightly and said:

"Fortunately, it was not blown up, and this place can be developed into a tourist attraction and a civilized beast fighting show. ”

David was speechless, and then said:

Qi Fei said that with the addition of off-site gambling and peripheral business, the annual income is close to one billion yuan. ”

"I ......"

Gu Yang raised his middle finger fiercely, coughed lightly and said:

"We want to develop Dragonstone City into an ecological city, a tourist city, and a civilized city!"

The convoy stopped in front of the stairs, and Gu Yang and David climbed the city wall. There is a machine gun at five steps and a mortar at ten steps on the wall, and the muzzles of the guns are all aimed at the city.

Under the city wall is a layer of stands, in the middle of the stands around a hundred zhang wide circular square, at this time the square is crowded with people, bursts of turbidity blowing in the nose.

"All 70,000 prisoners of war are here, and the priests are helping them to reform their minds ......"

David pointed to a white-robed monk on the podium in the distance who was preaching the Tiangang Code, very weak.

In addition to taking an oath directly to the Codex Tablet, only the priest can absorb the congregation. Every pastor is personally selected by Gu Xiaomeng. The money was supported by the Seminary, which was paid directly by the Treasury and amounted to one-tenth of the revenue. It was because of this fund that the power of the Dao Court spread like a plague.

This pastor, the "Heavenly Master", has short gray hair, a gentle voice, kind eyebrows, and kind eyes, and at first glance he is an elder with both ability and integrity. The prisoners of war sat on the ground, but they were dejected and listless......

When the old priest saw Gu Yang, he walked over very reverently, bowed deeply, and said respectfully:

"What do you command, Godfather? ”

"Finally someone called my brother 'Dad'......"

Gu Yang was excited, coughed lightly and said:

"I'm here to announce the policy against the captives!"

"Great! Godfather, you can give me 10,000 sentences......

The old priest immediately gave a sycophant, and his face was excited.

David next to him couldn't help rolling his eyes, Gu Yang was also speechless, and coughed lightly:

"One sentence is another, as a believer in the "Tiangang Code", you must seek truth from facts. ”

Gu Yang walked to the podium and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoists, the war is over, Dragonstone City has been liberated, and everyone has suffered!"

Everyone raised their heads, stunned, but their eyes were very dull.

"I'm here to tell you about the policy of the Dao Court, now as long as you swear allegiance to the Tiangang Code, you can become a citizen of the Dao Court. As citizens of the Dao Court, you can continue to live in Dragonstone, and the ruling government will rebuild Dragonstone, and Dragonstone will still prosper. You can get a farm and a tractor on Valan Island and live a quiet and prosperous life. You can also join the Guardian Army and fight for the country and the people......"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up. Although there was no applause, Gu Yang clearly felt a trace of luck gathering towards him, and sighed in his heart:

"People can't get used to it, this sentence is really not wrong......"

"In the past, Dragonstone City was also prosperous, but only Dragonstone Daoists, gamblers, and prostitutes could enjoy prosperity, and the vast majority of people still lived in water and fire. Today, we want to build a city of shared prosperity.

In the past, Dragonstone Island was also very wealthy, but only Longshi Daoist and a very small number of cronies possessed the wealth, and the vast majority of people were still hungry and cold, and the day was precarious. Today, what we want to build is a society of common prosperity.
