Section 176 The Concept of Wealth

Wu Yuan kept chattering.

He racked his brains and his mouth was almost dry.

Her long gray hair grew densely above Wu Zhun's head, covering a small half of the face below her forehead. Some of her eyes were hidden in the shadows, but her eyes were sharp, as if they had a fearful edge that had to be avoided.

"This is not the answer I want to hear." The elderly female national teacher stared at Wu Yuan: "At least it is not your true thought."

Wu Yuan's thin and white lips moved slightly.

Real... Can that kind of thing be said?

There is no more fearful and thrilling than reality. It is a secret hidden deep in my heart. It can only be and must be shrouded in darkness forever.

Those who have never been to the Lion Territory can never imagine how prosperous it is.

Of course, the word "prosperity" will change over time. But as far as a city is concerned, Wu Yuan feels that "great" must be used to be worthy of Roaring City, the capital of the Lion Clan. There are more than 500,000 residents there, which is the veritable largest city in the entire northern continent.

His Majesty the Lion King is so smart and so visionary. He saw the bright prospects of a monetized society and the role of metal currency in the process of civilization. It is not just as simple as creating coins for people to use. From then on, everything has value, precisely in units of "penny", rather than in the original trade through negotiations between the two parties. Perhaps, perhaps, maybe, if vague words are measured with each other, the unscrupulous merchants no longer have the opportunity to play tricks, evade taxes on the rulers, and cheat the common people, just for profit.

It’s really fresh in memory! This is the most beautiful picture hidden deep in Wu Yuan’s heart. At that time, he was as pure as a piece of paper, impulsive and excited, and was only thinking about seeking benefits for the common people. He remembered his identity as a Niu tribe, defended the interests of his own tribe in front of the Lion tribe many times, shouted for it, ran for it, and even was willing to give his life.

As you experience more things, your ideas will change.

Brave is a manifestation of stupidity. Striving for justice is just a pale noise from the weak. Conspiracy and tricks are the best way to fight against swords. They are just shameless. As long as you find the right direction, you can break it with a slight pierce.

The love of a vow of love is as ridiculous as a comedy. When he saw his beloved woman sleeping with another man with his back, Wu Yuan felt all the blood in his body suddenly rushing to his head. He wanted to kill someone, and he wanted to swing a knife to dig out the dirty hearts of the dog and the woman... But he could not do anything. The man riding on his girlfriend was a nobleman, and at that time he was just a little junior witch.

Power is daunting.

But Wu Yuan discovered that there were other existences that were stronger than power.

That's money.

As long as there is enough gold pounds, the big shots who hold the weight will be willing to do their own things. They will lose their brains and active thinking and become dolls in their hands.

The world changes every day.

The Lion tribe is very lucky that they have a wise king who leads them to gradually get rid of ignorance and barbarity and move towards civilization.

That was the future that Wu Yuan yearned for. He saw the magic of money and the weird magic that could determine the glory of a family's life and death by just a few metal coins.

Having a gold coin can make you live a worry-free and happy and satisfied life for the next period of time.

If you owe a gold coin, you will face hunger, poverty, and even death.

This is indeed a kind of magic.

Most barbarians have simple thinking: food sources are nothing more than land and prey, except war, which is the key to determining life and future.

As for the metal currency with exquisite avatars on the surface... that thing cannot be eaten or used, and it is so exciting to put it in your pocket.

Wu Yuan is a smart man. He has a keen observation and knows that the northern barbarians are in a period of great transformation. As long as they become the leader of change, they can gain rich benefits from it.

Unfortunately, the Niu King did not agree with the Lion King's monetary reform plan, and the great master also opposed this. Wu Yuan ran around for this and finally got support from Niu Tong. Chidu City also became the only metal currency trial area within the Niu tribe.

Niu Tong is an honest man and he knows nothing.

Wu Yuan calculates his wealth and makes metal currency very simple every day. As long as there are materials and skilled craftsmen, they can produce in batches. A coin is exchanged for a woman, a gold coin is exchanged for a family, and there are also food, cloth, weapons, and wine... During that time, Wu Yuan was dreaming every day. He fantasized about becoming the richest person in the clan, wielding metal currency to control everything. Even His Majesty the Majesty of the Bull had to kneel at his feet because of economic problems.

"The king uses power to rule the world, and the banker uses gold coins to rule the king."

This is a proverb from the white southerners.

A mere Red Hoof City cannot satisfy Wu Yuan's appetite. He needs to speed up the promotion of monetization in an all-round way. If even the cattle tribe cannot accept this system in a short period of time, let alone other tribes.

Tianhao was the seed chosen by Wu Yuan. He knew that this young man was very smart, otherwise he would not have proposed to beat the Eagle tribe in the shooting competition.

Wu Yuan has always admired smart people, so he gave Tianhao a bag of money and ignored him.

Immediately afterwards, he sent a caravan to Panshi Village. Wu Yuan believed that Tianhao's intelligence must have understood his intentions.

This is an experiment, and it is also Wu Yuan's disguised appeal to Tianhao. Since he could not change the ideas of those stubborn bigwigs, I would settle for the second best and start from the leaders of small villages.

Wuyuan is used very skillfully, and many leaders of the Niu Village were affected and chose to accept metal currency instead of traditional food and cloth.

Tianhao was an accident.

Every transaction between Jin Sheng and him has records, but after all, Panshizhai can benefit from it every time, but Tianhao did not save much money.

He has almost no metal currency in his hand.

Or it should be said that he refused to accept such hard gadgets and asked for food and cotton.

This is not the result that Wu Yuan wants.

Metal currencies must be recognized to reflect their value.

Food can be eaten, cloth can be used as clothes, and as for metal currency... there are no two functions.

If possible, Wu Yuan really wanted to use a knife to pry open the skull of the barbarians one by one and stuff the advanced civilization's financial and monetary knowledge into it.

Only by being recognized by everyone can the metal currencies in your hands be able to exert their maximum power.

Tianhao is indeed very smart and has a strong dominance. In just a few years, Panshi Village has become Panshi City, which is the best proof.

But the more this happens, the more Wu Yuan hates Tian Hao and grits his teeth.

He did not do what I thought, did not promote metal currency reform within the territory, and even asked others to refuse to accept this kind of thing. In this regard, Tianhao is Wu Yuan's unyielding enemy.

What's worse is that as the scale of Panshi City continues to expand, its impact on surrounding villages has also increased sharply. Huanchezhai, Zhangpuzhai, Pinglinzhai, Shanyuanzhai... Wuyuan once laid out in these small villages, and Jinsheng's caravans had traded with them, but now, all village leaders have abandoned metal currency and demanded food and cloth.

Americans in the civilized era once said: "A bill with a denomination of one hundred dollars is essentially just a piece of paper, but its value is so strong that you can use it to buy a large number of goods in other countries. Is this fair? But everyone in the world is willing to accept the US dollar and even hide this colorful paper as a treasure. This is the symbol of our country's strength, and this is the highest manifestation of the value of currency... Of course, if one day someone in a corner of the world shouts to reject the US dollar, it will be our turn to join the army."

Wu Yuan is just a wizard and cannot control the army.

The higher the identity of Tianhao, the greater the influence, the more serious the harm it will cause to Wu Yuan. The reason is not difficult to understand. Just like someone owns 100 houses in the civilized era, he naturally hopes that housing prices will rise. But if there are voices questioning the high value of the real estate market, it is a very similar existence to the house owner who kills his father's enemy.

As Panshi City continues to rise, Wu Yuan's wealth is also shrinking rapidly.

So Tianhao must die.

The Pig tribe should be good helpers. They lost an entire tribe in the war, and the steel teeth with a population of tens of thousands were swallowed up by Panshi City. This is a humiliation that no king can bear, and can only be washed away with blood.

In Wu Yuan's opinion, this kind of thing was not difficult or even taken for granted. He had a backup plan and prepared a large amount of goods in advance. As long as the Pig tribe fights with Panshi City, all transactions in the area must be paid by metal currency as the only means of payment. Wu Yuan was sure to obtain a huge profit through this war. He carefully considered each link and formulated a careful plan, but never expected that there would be a deviation in the Pig King, which should have been the safest.

He actually refused a war of revenge?

This is simply incredible!

Wu Zhuan stared at Wu Yuan's eyes: "Are you still unwilling to say anything?"

Wu Yuan realized his tension and took a deep breath, a faint expression of pretending to be relaxed appeared on his face: "I didn't lie. What I told you just now are all my words in my heart."

I am a wizard who requested His Majesty the King of Pig to send troops out for justice, rather than a loan shark who instigated the outbreak of war for his own selfish interests. There is an essential difference between the two.

Wu Zhuan smiled faintly.

She saw her youthful appearance in Wu Yuan's eyes. She was impulsive and full of personality. Every second she had all kinds of wonderful ideas and thoughts jumped out of her mind... Young people thought they could conquer the world, and they spared no effort to run towards various goals that they thought were the end, going back and forth between conspiracy and powerful forces, killing their opponents, or being defeated by their opponents. Some admitted defeat and never recovered from then on. Some won and received generous prizes. The joy and crying of young years were constantly thinned over time, then faded, and finally turned into a layer of film that was completely dried on the surface of the heart.

Later, it was difficult for us... to even be excited again. Just a pair of weather-beaten eyes can see through the deceit and calculations in this world.

Wu Zhuan's voice was still low, mixed with ridicule of seeing through everything: "Your Majesty will not send troops."

Wu Yuan's face was pale: "Can you fight for a great master? Panshi City...they... destroyed the entire steel teeth!"

Wu Zhun's weathered face was expressionless: "This is His Majesty's will, and no one can change it."

Wu Yuan understood that this was an order to expel guests.

He struggled for a few seconds, stood up from the chair with difficulty, dragging his heavy legs, and slowly walked towards the door.

Wu Zhuan silently stared at his far away back, his eyes a little complicated.

Every tribe has a king, but not every king's will can be implemented and implemented.

The Pig King is old, he is very ill and dying. He has been sick since the beginning of autumn last year, and it has been delayed for a whole winter. Although the situation has improved slightly now, he cannot get out of bed, his appetite has dropped greatly, and he can only eat some liquid food every day.

Wu Zhuan and the priests checked the pig king every week. She knew very well that the king was terminally ill and could not last long.

Women have a low status in barbarian society, but there are exceptions. The Queen of the Pig tribe has been working hard for many years, and she has many followers around her, and even some military generals have publicly expressed their support. The prince is young and takes a long time to become an adult... It is conceivable that if the king dies, all the power in Fangya City will fall into the hands of the queen.

If everyone obeyed the queen, Wu Zhuan would be willing to join the supporter group. The problem is that the clan leader of other branches had a bad impression of this powerful queen. They refused to obey the queen's orders and insisted that only male heirs of the throne were qualified to issue orders. If a young prince did not have this ability, he could only hold a group meeting, elect from the nobles, and produce a new king.

For the queen, this is even more unacceptable.

No one wants to give up power. The undercurrent of the Yangtou City in the king capital is surging. As long as the seriously ill Pig King dies, a clan civil war may break out at any time.

Under such circumstances, the entire tribe sent troops to seek justice for the Steel Teeth Department, which became a funny joke.

I can only say that Tianhao’s luck and the time he chose were really good.

Wu Zhuan saw the conspiracy in Wu Yuan's eyes.

Although he was full of righteous indignation and rumored that "this is all for the benefit of the pig race."

A disdain sneered on his old face.

Wu Zhuan wanted to order Wu Yuan to be arrested and tortured, and asked him what was going on.

I'll just forget it, after all, everyone is a witch.

What's more, the pig tribe is now in chaos, and various difficult-to-treat problems are simply a mess.

I can only put it on Panshi City for a while before talking about it.

...

Tianhao received a horse sent by Zumu from Yuanshui City.

There are not many numbers, and there are dozens of horses every month, and they are all mares.
