The foundation of the financial order in the ninja world lies in the gold standard.

But there is also a relatively absurd phenomenon in the ninja world, that is, the banknotes found in small countries tend to reserve the corresponding equivalent amount of gold in a regular manner.

This is also because small countries have limited resources and commodity exchange is not active, so the wealthy merchants who walk the ninja world only use the paper money of the small country as a voucher for daily transactions, and often exchange it for gold judgment or the currency of other countries when they leave, and do not choose to keep the paper money of the small country in their hands as a reserve currency.

After everyone does not use their national currency as a reserve currency, it is natural that those small countries that issue paper money either have enough gold reserves in order to be ready for exchange, or the issuance is insufficient and the paper money of the large countries erodes their own share of paper money.

The paper money issued by the big countries is not only the gold exchange voucher under the gold standard system, but also the legal tender containing the authority of the big countries, so with the commercial and trade circulation between the major powers, the paper money between the big countries has also begun to be hoarded in the hands of some nobles and wealthy merchants; In addition, after the black market prevailed, a large amount of money flowed into the black market and accumulated it, and during the ninja war, in order to make up for the shortfall, the daimyo would often secretly issue some additional paper money to offset the expenses......

Over time, the banknotes issued by the major powers naturally far exceeded the gold reserves in the vaults.

Especially in the land of water, it is a muddled account.

However, in the past, because the banknotes of major countries were endorsed by the country's reputation, even if the wealthy businessmen of other countries knew that the banknotes of a certain big country were overissued, they did not care, because the banknotes in their hands could still be spent through commodity procurement and other means.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu's assault on the Mizuno-kuno's financial system shattered this economic cycle.

The Tokumitsu shogunate's gold yuan bills were rampant in the land of water, eroding part of the circulation of paper money; In addition, after the persecution of the landless aristocracy, a large number of small merchants went bankrupt en masse, and the circulation of paper money in the land of water has become difficult.

And the high payment of 10 billion yuan in the Daimyo Mansion set off a frenzy of running on the water country in one go.

Especially after the guards of the county towns began to restrict their people from exchanging paper money in order to protect their own property, the already tense nerves of the people of the Land of Water finally began to explode.

Under the fanning of the shogunate spies who had long been lurking in the territory of the water country, a huge scale "money riot" was set off in the water country.

"The nobles ignore our life and death, not only expropriate and plunder, but also take away our last penny!"

A team of shogunate spies disguised as ronin, took the opportunity to intercept and kill the convoy of nobles laden with golden judgments in various parts of the water country, and after making extremely incendiary remarks, distributed the golden judgment to the people of the water country who gathered around them.

"We will wage war against the greedy nobles and take back our shops, fields and homes!"

Later, the spies lurking in the crowd raised their arms and shouted, and took advantage of the situation to engulf a large group of people in the water country who had been incited to frenzy towards the county seat.

For a time, the water country was in turmoil.

It was at this time that the second Shogunate fleet arrived in, the daimyo prefecture.

"I want to pay a golden judgment of 20 billion taels!"

The aristocratic official in charge of the affairs of the gold bank hurried over, and as soon as he heard Hinata Shuhiro's words, he suddenly felt the world turned upside down, and he almost fainted.

"Dare to ask this ninja of the Hyuga family, why did he have to pay so much gold at once......

The noble official hurriedly asked, "The paper money of this country is a fiat currency that can be circulated at will among the major countries in the ninja world, so there is no need to redeem it so frequently......

"This is Lord Tokumitsu's order, and we have no right to question it!"

Hinata Shuhiro said expressionlessly: "Please pay quickly, don't delay Lord Tokumitsu's time!" ”

"I also had a relationship with the patriarch of your family, so please ......"

The nobleman tried to continue to defend himself in vain.

But as soon as he mentioned the Zong family, Hinata Shuhiro's already indifferent face suddenly became so gloomy that it almost dripped.

"Don't say this useless again! The 20 billion gold judgment must be paid in full, otherwise it will ......"

Hinata Shuhiro said gloomily: "It is estimated that His Royal Highness the Daimyo will be going to inspect the place in the north again!" ”

……

"Two hundred billion taels!"

In the palace of the daimyo, a group of ministers and nobles once again sat around.

Daimyo's chest, his pale face, rose and fell, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

“…… The six eastern counties have all been plunged into turmoil, do you have anything to say about this? ”

After a long while, the daimyo said coldly: "There are also gold judgments that have been robbed by various families...... How many are there? ”

All the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

At this time, they are beaten out of the beaten bird, and they are naturally more inclined to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"The local reserve of 15 billion taels of gold judgment is now exhausted......"

The Daimyo's mouth let out a "giggle" sneer: "I don't know if it's the rich people of the country of water or the people of the country of water, who have ......hundreds of millions of dollars."

The nobles remained silent.

“…… You are the noble official in charge of the gold bank, don't you find a reason to explain it to yourself? ”

The daimyo's gaze was on the noble officials who were kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness...... It is said that there were concentrated runs by shogunate personnel in various places, which led to ......"

The noble officer replied tremblingly.

"Then how much money will the shogunate have to pay at the local level?"

The daimyo asked through gritted teeth.

“……”

The nobleman was silent.

"Five billion taels, right?"

The daimyo sneered twice, "And then there are ten billion?" ”

There was still dead silence in the hall.

“…… Great-Tibetan phase. ”

After a long time, the daimyo said quietly: "Transfer 30 billion taels from the treasury to redeem it!" ”

"Yes!"

The Tibetan minister, who had suffered a loss, did not dare to continue to say more, and immediately knelt on the ground and accepted the order.

“…… The extra 10 billion is used to calm the people's hearts, and I hope the secretaries will not interfere. ”

The daimyo said coldly: "Otherwise, before the arrival of the shogunate ninja army, your family's industries in various places will be destroyed by the rebels!" ”

After saying that, the daimyo waved his sleeves and returned to the apse.

……

But where can Uchiha Tokumitsu let the riots in the land of water be quelled like this.

Not only was the gold judgment paid, but after the riots, there was a shortage of materials between the various counties.

With the withdrawal of the shogunate merchants again, the circulation of goods in the land of water has been paralyzed, and ordinary people cannot buy the goods they want, whether they have money in their hands or not!

As a result, when the Daimyo's treasury was transported to the coffers of the various county towns, the riots intensified rather than subsided.

At this time, there was no need for shogunate spies to continue fanning the flames.

The people of the Land of Water who have already started an incident have made up their own "noble conspiracy".

"What?! The gold cart that His Royal Highness the Daimyo transported to the county seat was empty?! ”

"What?! The grain depot in the county town has been exhausted?! ”

"What?! The money and food were taken away by the nobles?! ”

The "money riots" in the county town have just eased up, and the "rice riots" in the countryside have started one after another.

Rumors that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood are circulating in various parts of the Water Country, and the local guardians have done their best to maintain even the most basic order in the county, and they are powerless to refute the rumors and quell the riots in the countryside.

And just after the 20 billion gold judgment was paid, the 10 billion allocated by the daimyo didn't last for a few days, and it was run out by the crazy people of the land of water, and after the gold banks in the counties were empty, the riots were further intensified.

Then, thieves went on out, cut off traffic, and stormed the manor to cause murder.

……

"Your Highness, the matter has come so far, please dispatch the ninja army!"

In the palace of the Daimyo, the Minister of Taisei suggested to the Daimyo.

"The fog hangs outside, and the shogunate threatens the side...... At this time, if you send out the ninja army......"

Seeing that the daimyo's face was still indifferent, the Minister of Civil Affairs asked.

"If there is no interruption, you will be disturbed!"

The Minister shouted: "If we sit back and watch the situation develop like this, the overthrow of the whole country may only be a matter of one day!" It's too late to regret it! ”

The ministers also nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing.

In the language habits of the land of water and even among the nobles of various major countries, the so-called "dispatch of the ninja army" is to summon ninjas to various places to quell the chaos by force.

This is also the last killer weapon of the ninja nobles.

When the turmoil of the mud-legged people cannot be quelled by the samurai and the government army, the ninja troops mobilized from the ninja village will be like a razor, and all sources of unrest will be wiped out.

But the resulting killings could lead to more than half of a country's population in a very short period of time.

But it's not about the aristocracy.

After all, in their eyes, the mud legs are like the most vigorous weeds, and under the watering of blood, it only takes more than ten years for them to grow into more obedient and well-behaved obedient people again.

"Your Highness, the Fog Hidden Ninja Army must no longer stay in the Land of Thunder!"

Atsushi Konoe stepped forward at the right time and said: "Of course, the domestic riots need to be quelled, but the threat of the shogunate is also imminent, and all the ninja troops must be recalled as soon as possible to defend against the shogunate invasion!" ”

At this moment, the shogunate still has three ironclad ships stranded off the coast of in the Daimyo Mansion, which makes all the ministers frightened.

"What Du Siqing said is reasonable, then I will work hard for you to go."

Daimyo Wen Yan said.

As for what the Minister said, he did not respond directly, but took out a seal and put it on the table in front of him.

The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

The daimyo ruled over all the people, and naturally he would not give orders to kill his own people.

But if the ministers do their own thing, sometimes the daimyo may not be able to control it.

Of course, this is also a tacit understanding between the daimyo and the minister.

The Taisei Minister would take the seal from the case table and issue a mission to put down the rebellion in Shinobu Village after the temple was dispersed, while the Daimyo duly expressed his shock and punished the Taisei Minister for the murder after the heads of the people were rolling up and down in the Mizuno Country, and then the matter ended with three cups of self-punishment.

"Your Highness! Big things are wrong! ”

The nobleman of the gold bank, whom the daimyo hated the most, stumbled in again.

"What's such a gaffe!"

The Minister of the Interior immediately shouted a loud reprimand.

"Your Highness......"

The noble official of the Golden Bank swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "The shogunate, the warships of the shogunate are here again......"

The ministers and nobles looked at each other, and the face of the daimyo was as black as the bottom of an old pot.

“…… Do you want to pay the gold judgment again? ”

The Prime Minister pressed his chest and said with difficulty.

"Yes, yes......"

The noble official of the Golden Bank replied in a low voice: "This time it is 50 billion taels ......"

“…… Dazang Xiang, you look at it! ”

The daimyo left the table with a wave of his sleeves.

The Great Tibetan Minister smiled bitterly and bowed from afar.

The Prime Minister quickly stepped forward and picked up the seal of the daimyo that had "fallen".

"Gentlemen, this has come to this, and I don't need to be pretending to be merciful anymore......"

The minister said to the ministers and nobles: "If there is no objection, then the ninja army will be dispatched!" ”

"That's true!"

"Seconded!"

The ministers nodded in agreement.

"Du Siqing, then please go to the front line of the Land of Thunder quickly......"

The Taisei Minister said to Atsushi Konoe, "The ninja soldiers left behind by the Daimyo Mansion and Kigakure are still insufficient to resist the invasion of the shogunate while quelling the chaos throughout the country, so please let Your Excellency Mizukage speed up the withdrawal of troops and return to help!" ”

"Obey orders!"

Atsushi Konoe bowed to the Minister of Imperial Affairs, who was holding the seal.
