Chapter 18: The New King's Spirit
Ji Ping'an calmed down his emotions, picked up the letter again, and carefully checked the contents by the faint candlelight.
The contents of the letter can be called a state-level secret, and this letter must not be leaked, otherwise he will only die.
What it says above is directly related to today's new online scene.
It turns out that the current king is the concubine born to the old king's only favorite concubine, and he is not the eldest son, nor is he the rightful prince.
After the death of the old king, he directly passed the throne to him, and he was not the crown prince above the court, so he was naturally hindered to a certain extent.
The new king is by no means a good type, he knows that the civil and military ministers above the court have two hearts for him, which makes the court look stable on the surface, but there is an undercurrent behind the scenes.
In order to stabilize his situation, after the new king succeeded to the throne, he implemented a series of new political reforms.
This reform was directly burned from the government and the opposition to the entire people of Yunguo, and the most important of them was the minting of new coins.
Because today's cloud country is facing a lot of very serious problems.
In order to change the current economic situation, the new king ordered people to forge the copper coins that were originally one penny into ten wen.
In a sense, this can reduce the expenditure of the cloud country and play a certain role in promoting the development of the cloud country.
At the same time, his negative impact is also very large, because the face value of the currency increases, and at the same time, it also creates a certain amount of liquidity pressure.
This has led to the ups and downs of Yunguo, goods have begun to expand, and prices have risen all the way.
The price of grain is even more prohibitive for many people, which is the foundation of people's survival.
Ordinary people are now likely to lose their money if they want to buy food, which makes the current situation even more unstable.
The contradictions in Yunguo are only one of them.
Ji Ping'an is more concerned about the external contradictions that Yunguo is now facing, which will deal the most fatal blow to them.
After the new king ascended the throne, he befriended Jiang Guo, one of the Nine Kingdoms.
The trade between the two countries is naturally very prosperous, and the cotton on the Yunguo side has always been of high quality and low price.
Jiang Guo purchased a large amount of cotton from Yun Country, which led to a sharp rise in the price of cotton in Yun Country, and because of this, Britain harvested a large amount of silver reserves.
The domestic people began to become miserable, and the large export of cotton led to the continuous reduction of demand for cotton in Yunguo, and the price of cotton was also rising all the way.
All of a sudden, even the price of cotton has been so high that ordinary people are discouraged.
However, the treasury of Yunguo reaped a large amount of transaction funds in a short period of time, and the treasury was instantly full, and all the revenues exceeded five times that of previous years.
Judging from the current situation, the situation in Yunguo has become more and more stable, and the country's economy is becoming more and more prosperous, which naturally makes the treasury full.
Judging from all indications, the development of Yunguo is better than it seems, and it has more powerful financial support.
This also makes the new king have a certain tendency in many decisions.
When they have money, they have nothing to fear, and they can do whatever they want.
Especially now that the new king needs to be eager to prove himself and prove that he is up to the current position.
Once the treasury was full, he began to make plans for the next step.
This step of the plan is Ji Ping'an's biggest headache, and it is also the most difficult for Ji Ping'an to resolve now.
This is Yun Guo and Jiang Guo, joining hands to attack Wei Guo.
Yun Guo and Jiang Guo have very good relations between the two countries because of their trade exchanges, and their opinions on some things are naturally the same.
Yun Guo's new online wants to prove himself, so if he wants to expand his territory, he will naturally choose a weak country to attack.
Jiang Guo is strong here and expands its territory at the same time, they are also very happy.
The kings of the two countries hit it off, and they directly finalized the plan to attack Wei.
Originally, there was a peaceful development between the nine countries, and there were occasional local battles, which did not affect the security of the overall environment.
However, Yun Guo and Jiang Guo joined forces to attack Wei Guo, which made the originally harmonious and stable border situation begin to become turbulent.
Such a volatile situation will naturally have a great impact on them.
Maybe it seems to outsiders that the strength of Yun and Jiang can be completely solved, and they can defend the country.
But people with real vision have long seen that Yun Guo is only strong on the outside, and it looks strong on the surface, but in fact, if it is really consumed in battle, it is very likely that the national strength will be consumed.
Once the national strength is depleted, not only will there be no way to attack the country at that time, but it will give the now very friendly Jiang Guo a chance.
At that time, it is highly likely that Jiang Guo will be annexed along with Yun Guo and Wei Guo.
"Where are these guys asking me to find a way to help them solve their problems, it's literally killing me."
Ji Ping'an read the contents of the letter again, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
I have to say that these problems are indeed difficult to resolve, the new upward spirit is too strong, he is now in a hurry, he wants to prove himself, the more so, he must make some achievements for himself.
But things that are often rushed will only make the ending go in the opposite direction.
Yun Guo is now strong in the outside world, and the constant war consumes a lot of silver, which will naturally lead to more problems.
If the problem of inflation is not resolved, it will inevitably make the situation more scorching, and then it will only make the situation worse.
After Ji Ping'an was silent for a long time, he brought a pen and paper and prepared to write down the response plan he thought.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't know what to do.
The new king is doing this now, in a sense, to seek his own death.
Ji Ping'an guessed that the new king must have an element of gambling, and his bet was to successfully take down Wei Guo with Jiang Guo before the entire Yunguo could not hold on.
In this way, he opened up the territory for Yunguo, and naturally set up a meritorious service, and no one on the grass hall would dare to continue to disobey in front of him.
"You have to think of a middle way, you can't completely expose yourself, it's better to be able to find a way to guide those guys to think of the right solution on their own."
Ji Ping'an took the pen and paper in his hand and began to fall into deep thought, he was still worried about the questions that those big people would test him.
If you want to get rid of this problem, the best solution is to choose a compromise and let the other party come up with a real solution, but this is also the hardest.
Because he can't show any horse's feet if he wants to do this, once he shows his horse's feet so that others can see the flaws, it will naturally invite him to kill.
Thinking of this, Ji Ping'an frowned and fell into deep thought.
