Chapter 430: Currency Wars

At this time, the Black Dragon Empire.

At the weekly Imperial Council, a report submitted by an official sparked heated discussions.

In recent times, the price of goods in the Black Dragon Empire has grown extremely fast, even to the point of some exaggeration. The price of the most basic grain has been three times that of the long-term stable dìng price, and it is still rising, while the price of some goods in short supply has even increased by five or even ten times.

Prices are skyrocketing, which means one thing, the black dragon coin is starting to lose its value. Countries around the world began to throw away more and more black dragon coins in their hands, and turned to the more stable white dragon coins as commodity trading currency. Even within the Black Dragon Empire, White Dragon Coins are increasingly appearing in the hands of merchants.

And the chain reaction caused by this is that the black dragon coins are becoming more and more worthless, and the more they are not used, entering a vicious circle. In the past, the emperor could buy anything with the black dragon coins in his hand, but now, in order to buy those things, he had to pay more black dragon coins.

"Prices are skyrocketing!How can this be!Who can give me an answer!" Jacques burst into a rage.

All the officials looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. Some people have speculations in their hearts, but they dare not say it. Everyone knows that the emperor is moody, and if one accidentally says something he doesn't like to hear, his head will move.

Seeing that the people below were silent, Jacques really wanted to slaughter them all, but he glanced at Tyrien, and finally held back.

"Rubbish!"

Jacques cursed, turned and left the conference room directly, leaving Tyrien alone.

Bang!

Heavy doors closed. The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you adults can speak directly if you have something to say. Tyrien spoke.

At this time, an official walked over.

"Lord Tyrion. Take a look at these. ”

As he spoke, the official handed over two gold coins, and Tyrien reached out to take them.

"If you want to bribe me, these coins may be a little less. ”

"No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood...... Well, there are some things we can talk about later. My lord, if you look at these two gold coins, can you tell the difference between them?"

Distinguish?

Tyrion looked closely. Both coins are gold coins that have been used for a certain period of time, have a slight wear and tear on the outside, and have a similar feel. If you have to say it. The one on the right maybe a little dimmer?

"Actually, the black dragon coin in your right hand is the JIA coin. ”

Tyrian's brow furrowed.

"Why, haven't all those people who minted JIA coins been killed?"

"Your Excellency, you don't know, lately. This kind of JIA coin, which is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, poured into my Black Dragon Empire in large numbers. There is no gold in these JIA coins. Merchants began to dare not accept black dragon coins, and even switched to white dragon coins instead. There are a lot of rumors around, saying that our Black Dragon Emperor has hidden all the real coins, and he wants to recover the gold in order to satisfy His Majesty's own selfish desires!"

The official said.

"There is such a thing!"

"Yes! It is precisely because of this that the prices of goods in our country have skyrocketed. We traced a series of funding sources, and in the end, almost all of them pointed to the White Dragon Empire, so to speak, these JIA coins are basically from the White Dragon Empire!"

The official said.

If so. Then it became clear.

"Yes, I see. Tyrion, who was looking down at the gold coins, looked up and said. "I'll report to His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, I will not forget your credit. ”

"Thank you, Lord Tyrion! Thank you, Lord Tyrion!" the officer thanked him and stepped back.

Tyriam returned to his study, where Jacques was waiting for him. Tyrien handed the two gold coins to Jacques.

"The gold coin in your left hand is a fake. They're making a lot of JIA coins to hit our economy!" said Tyrion.

"These damn bastards!" Jacques was furious, how could it not be infuriating to find that he had been tricked financially when he had achieved a huge advantage over the dragon knights?

"What shall we do?" Jacques asked.

"I consulted with several officials, and they agreed that we should immediately mint a completely different batch of genuine coins, and all the national gold nationals should exchange huàn to rebuild their confidence in the black dragon coins. However, there are two scenarios. ”

"Which two?"

"First, we distinguish between genuine and JIA coins, and JIA coins are confiscated and only exchanged for genuine huàn coins. ”

"Second, whether it's true or not, it's all huàn. ”

"The second one can be figured out by a man with a brain?" Jacques scolded.

"But in the first case, if you don't redeem huànJIA coins, people will inevitably gain huge losses. After all, many people don't know that they have real coins or JIA coins, and if they don't exchange huàn, some people may go bankrupt. ”

"What do you have to do with me! That's their own stupidity! If they're stupid, they'll be stupid!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The Emperor's orders had priority in the Black Dragon Empire, and soon, new Black Dragon coins were minted. The entire territory of the Black Dragon Empire caused a panic huàn, and even the scene got out of control for a while.

However, when some people learned that their hard-earned income for a year was not allowed to be redeemed, the dissatisfaction completely exploded. There were smashing and looting in various places, so the army went out to suppress it, which caused more discontent. When Jacques ignores this, he only asks that his gold be returned to him.

For a time, huge dissatisfaction swirled throughout the Black Dragon Empire, and people's hearts were in turmoil.

And in some places, there were even mutinies caused by the inability of the army's salaries to pay huàn.

Although these changes have been suppressed, the after-effects are incalculable.

And among these changes, there are two people who laugh the most.

Ryuichi.

Crane.

This incident was originally planned and manufactured by them, and the effect was so good. It was completely unexpected.

"Jacques is busy right now!" Crane said with a smile.

"I thought that the Black Dragon Empire had always been an iron bucket, without any gaps. Now it seems. Sure enough, it still doesn't involve vital interests. ”

"So what are we going to do and continue the JIA coin offensive?" asked Corey.

"No need, now that the Black Dragon Empire is in chaos, it's not good for us to make things worse like this!" Long Yi said.

"Why does this sound so fake, doesn't someone like to make things worse the most!"

"Haha, it's still a grandmaster-level joke master who understands me. Actually, the matter is very simple, first of all, they are already prepared. It will definitely not work well if it continues. Secondly, the results of this wave were enough to shake the economy of the Black Dragon Empire fundamentally. Our goal has already been achieved, and there is little point in continuing. But it would be interesting to see if they would turn around and use this trick against us. Long Yi said.

"Yes, I have secured all the workers and old workers of the Mint, and at the same time issued a patriotic manual on kidnapping to every worker, according to your request. Teach them how to save their lives while keeping the country's gold safe. Corey said.

"That's fine. At least it doesn't seem like I'm doing anything now!" Ryuichi said with a smile.

Ryuichi has his own business.

For example, help Josa make her new weapon.

In fact, Ryuichi originally planned to take Ruosha on a trip to the Dwarven Empire. But after hearing that Ryuichi was also a good blacksmith in her own right, Ruosha immediately demanded that Ryuichi must forge her new weapon for him with her own hands no matter what!

New weapons?

When Long Yi asked Ruosha what she wanted, Ruosha said without hesitation, "Giant anchor." ”

This is the weapon Josa is most accustomed to, and all of her fighting skills are honed through the guò anchor.

Ruosha has three requirements for weapons.

Big.

Heavy.

Hard.

Ryuichi originally thought that if Ruosha wanted to use such a large weapon, he could only use forging, after all, forging this kind of thing was no longer realistic after a certain size. Ryuichi saw Ruosha smash the huge anchor with his own eyes, which was enough to prove that ordinary cast iron was not good at all.

So. Long Yi went to consult the dwarven blacksmith in the imperial city. The dwarven blacksmith was also of a high rank, and when he saw Ryuichi actually come to him to discuss the material. Almost flattered.

Eventually, the dwarf came up with a plan for Ryuichi.

Inside the warehouse of the Dwarven Empire there is a strange black meteorite, this meteorite is metallic. But no one knows exactly what the material is. A sphere with a diameter of about one meter can weigh more than ten times that of ordinary steel!

The dwarves had tried to smelt it, but the fire of the underground magma was unable to melt the metal. And an ordinary blacksmith's hammer smashed on it, but it only left marks on the hammer!

The dwarves didn't have anything to do with this kind of material, so they threw it into the corner of the warehouse and basically had no other use except for the occasional challenge to some dwarves who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Hearing this, Long Yi immediately said that he wanted to challenge it. The excited dwarf immediately sent the news back to the Dwarven Empire, and the next evening, along with the next batch of battle armor, the black meteorite was also transported.

In order to hold the meteorite, the airship responsible for transporting it was equipped with four less armor, which was enough to overload.

When Long Yi carried this seemingly inconspicuous black ball, the airship automatically floated upwards a little, and the mass of this thing was amazing!

No problem, right? I feel like this thing is heavier than Ruosha's previous giant anchor!

"Let me try!" The legal little Lori Ruosha on the side looked at Long Yi's posture and was eager to try.

Ryuichi didn't dare to put the ball on the ground, but handed it directly to Ruosha. Hearing only a click, Ruosha's two little feet directly crushed the stone slab on the ground, and there were no calves.

"Wow! That's a great weight!"

Ruosha reused her natural skills to stabilize her body, and then jumped out lightly.

The White Dragon Empire warriors around the freight yard were already stupid. (To be continued......)
