The life of the people in various parts of the Southern Empire is not very easy. The most important problem for them is food. They still have a lot of banknotes from the Cao Family Trading Company, but they don't know if these things can be exchanged for money.

Money, I have known that such things are very convenient in the past. No matter where it is, even if it is in other empires, as long as it is a place with the signboard of Cao Family Trading Company, it is considered one of theirs.

Other shops can exchange you for silver. There are so many such outlets that it is unimaginable. Many people have hoarded a large amount of such banknotes from the Cao Family Trading Company just for this purpose. But who knows what will happen after the war begins?

It becomes waste paper, especially some wealthy families. They are the most depressed. They originally thought that this thing is easy to store, so they replaced half of the things in the house with such things, especially

The pattern above cannot be copied by others. They feel that such things are very good. Who knows that it has become waste paper now. During the war, these people wanted to commit suicide, but

Now that the peace talks have begun, many people say that such things can be turned into money. As long as the peace talks between the imperial court and the Cao Family Commercial Bank are successful, the people from the Cao Family Commercial Bank will definitely exchange these things. By then, the people in the streets and alleys will

It's the Cao Family Trading Company again. That is to say, in the beginning, someone will come to redeem this. After a period of time passes, these things will definitely become more useful things. By that time, business will resume, but

This matter does not seem to be that simple. Many people have also said that the peace talks are just a cover and the imperial court will not initiate this.

Some wealthy businessmen in the Southern Empire couldn't stand when they heard this. How could this be possible? The peace talks must be successful. Someone has calculated that there must be at least tens of millions of Cao's firm's banknotes in one county alone.

If none of these come back, this will be a huge loss. In fact, closing the Cao Family Trading Company is good for the Southern Empire. They have gained trillions of benefits from it. Those territories are the most important.

Good stuff, but for the people and businessmen of the Southern Empire, it is like a nightmare. Now the price of food in the Southern Empire has reached nearly 30 cents per catty, which is more than double the original price.

If the war is not over yet, the price may be three or four times higher. This is because some senior officials in the Southern Empire have taken out war-prepared food. If they had not taken it out, there is no telling how much the price would have increased.

Well, it is not possible for these profiteers to do other things one by one. But it is no problem to make the country difficult to make money. Some businessmen in the Southern Empire have suffered greatly. Now they have opened a lot of businesses because of the war.

Taxes are being collected one by one. It can be said that even if the war of the Southern Empire had not been carried out by the Cao Family Trading Company, they would have failed. These people really do not have the concept of an empire, and they all think about this.

It's better to do more at this time. Anyway, many big families have risen because of things like this. Now you can do the same at this time. If you seize this opportunity, maybe your family will rise.

Although the Southern Empire pays more attention to the status of merchants than other empires, it is still impossible for merchants to interfere with some of the court's policies. Now they can only wait in panic for the court's decision. But they are waiting

Well, the people in the Cao Family Trading Company don't want to wait any longer. Anyway, everyone in the Cao Family Trading Company knows what will happen in the future. What they have to do now is to take advantage of the fact that these people in the Southern Empire are waiting and watching, and quickly get rid of them.

The banknotes in hand are purchased and can be purchased at a discount. You must know that these things are real money. As long as the Cao Family Trading Company returns to the Southern Empire, these things can be exchanged. Now they are all worried about this matter.

Then people from the Cao Family Trading Company can use this mentality to make a fortune. Of course, the ones who suffer the most are the businessmen and common people of the Southern Empire. Of course, those who are officials also have a lot of money in their hands, including those of the Southern Empire government.

There were also quite a few of them, all because the people from the Cao Family Trading Company attacked too quickly at the time. The Southern Empire was also a little unthinking at that time and directly sealed up the various properties of the Cao Family Trading Company. As a result, they were depressed.

It's terrible. Most of the valuable things have been transported away. What's left is just grains and the like. How much money can we have? There's no such thing as the Jinshan Mountain in our imagination. Damn it, there's no such thing.

Knowing where these guys have been transported, they all want to burn these things with a fire, but they don't have the courage. They all think that people from the Cao Family Trading Company can give them to them.

Since you all have such thoughts, it would be a shame if the people of the Cao Family Trading Company didn't use their brains. The spies of the Cao Family Trading Company began to purchase the Cao Family Trading Company in the black market of the Southern Empire one by one.

banknotes, and people also said that the money was to be transported to the Northern Empire for exchange. Many people did not believe this method, because at the beginning of the war, a large number of merchants from the Southern Empire used their own

The channel uses these banknotes to pay merchants in the Northern Empire, but the merchants in the Northern Empire all know this, so they will not accept banknotes with the word "nan" on them. The people from the Cao Family Trading Company in the Northern Empire are

As I said, because the war with the Southern Empire has not ended yet, this thing cannot be used. If you are willing, we will not care if you come back and turn it into waste paper. For this reason, let these big businessmen one by one

It's like digging your own ancestral grave. Everyone is depressed to death. They don't explain how you could have such a thing. What's going on? Now a large number of people have come out and said that they can redeem this, regardless of you.

Whether you want cash or anything else, I can give it to you, as long as the banknotes from the Cao Family Trading Company in your hands are genuine. When the government people wanted to investigate them, they found that none of these people really

As for the unified leadership, the amount of exchange each time is not very large, so there is no way to catch them. Besides, some local people are protecting them. As long as people from the government come over, someone will immediately cover them.

.

The common people don't care about the empire. They know one thing, that is, their money has become waste paper. Without these people, they might not be able to get anything back. Although these people all use

Half of the price will be refunded, but you can get some money back, right? On the first day, the average county town only has a few thousand taels of silver. Although there are not many in one city, it is enough to cover the entire Southern Empire.

There were hundreds of millions of silver. On the second day, more people exchanged for it. Even some big businessmen from the Southern Empire joined in. However, the amount they exchanged was a bit large. These people seemed to be a bit hungry.

No more. Seeing this situation, those big businessmen became even more anxious. If they ran out of money, what else could they exchange for? Without waiting for the people from the Cao Family Trading Company to speak, they immediately said, in exchange for them

If so, you can give 40%. There is no need to give half. Because of this, those people immediately started to exchange for these people, and these big businessmen abruptly lowered the exchange price by a hundred.

Ten out of ten, but after one day, these people seem to have little money in their hands. In fact, this was decided by the people of the Cao Family Commercial Bank, and they just behave like this. And many people are also in the market.

People began to spread rumors that the Northern Empire could no longer exchange it, and they might lose money if they ate it.

This suddenly made the people in the Southern Empire even more panicked. Those who had a lot of banknotes in their hands rushed to the black market to exchange boxes of banknotes. Yesterday, a 100-tael banknote could still be exchanged.

How about 40 taels of silver? What about now? Damn it, let alone 40 taels of silver. It’s no problem even if it’s 30 taels of silver. As long as it’s silver, it’s just that those people on the black market seem to have disappeared.

In the entire Southern Empire, those people disappeared after receiving less than 5% of the banknotes from the Cao Family Trading Company. They tried their best to find those people, but they couldn't find anything. In the end, these people could only be helpless.

After carrying the silver back home, someone told me that those people actually wanted to buy it back at this price and waited for the end of the war to exchange it with people from the Cao Family Trading Company. Who knew that now that the news came down from above, it was impossible.

The war is over. It is impossible for the Northern Empire to exchange it for them. The journey to other empires is too far. I don’t know how much they will lose, so they don’t exchange it. Now these people are like crazy.

, the banknotes of Cao's Commercial Bank are even more worthless, just like the waste paper on the street. Just when these things have been reduced to the lowest value, those people come back again, facing these banknotes sold to them everywhere.

People, they seem to have made great determination to buy at 10% price. Although these people are unwilling in their hearts, they have no other way. It is much better than turning into waste paper. In five days, just

You have five days to exchange it. If you have it, you can bring it. If you don’t have it, I’m sorry. We don’t have that much time. We have to go to the Eastern Empire to exchange it. The Cao Family Trading Firm in the Eastern Empire has already said that it is OK.

Acceptable, but the time is limited, and they will not accept it beyond this time. The news immediately started to explode, and even the senior officials of the Southern Empire ran out.

At the beginning, some high-ranking officials in the Southern Empire often did things for people from the Cao Family Trading Company. Most of the things they sent back then were such things. One box was worth hundreds of millions of silver. Such things were of course convenient.

, they also thought that they might not be able to exchange it for silver. Several people went there once, and some even asked their servants to try other empires. The results were all fine. Who knew that the war would turn into

It's like this. Now it's easy for some people like this to appear. If I don't act quickly, there will be nothing. On the first night, the exchange rate in a county is more than one billion silver.

Yes, you can imagine how much banknotes the Cao Family Trading Company issued in this empire in the past. Although these people didn't have any pants left after losing money, it was still good for them. At least they exchanged them one by one.

Ten percent came back. If not, there would be nothing left. They had never thought about going to the Eastern Empire to exchange it, but who knew what the situation was like over there. After the Cao Family Trading Company's airship stopped

, who can get to the Eastern Empire? Even a ninth-level warrior needs half a year to cross the Warcraft Mountains. Who knows if they can come back after coming and going. Besides, no one can rest assured that such

It is wrong to give a lot of money to one person, even if it is your own son, you need to consider it carefully.

The person in charge of this matter is a new person in charge of the Intelligence Department of the Cao Family Trading Company. No one knows his name. They just know that this guy is a ninth-level warrior who came out of the training camp of the Cao Family Trading Company, but his ability can

It is said that he is very loose and does not have much ability, but this person's brain is very useful. Otherwise, he would not be able to hang out here. Li Cong asked him to operate this matter, but he did not expect that he could redeem it.

Nearly 140 trillion banknotes. The Cao Family Trading Company has its own records. A total of about 160 trillion banknotes were issued in the Southern Empire. I really didn’t expect that it would be possible to have so much with only a dozen trillion. When the imperial court

After the things on the side are completed, the people from Cao's Trading Company can definitely announce that their banknotes will continue to be valid and can be exchanged, but they will not be in people's hands at that time. This way, they can restore their reputation and gain benefits.

, As for the losses suffered by the people of the Southern Empire, I feel sorry for you. This is the fault of your empire. If they had not raided our stores, we would not have done such a thing. Of course, this also benefits the other three empires.

Look, our currency war has already begun. We occupy an absolutely proactive position. If you want to do this with us, it seems that you don’t have the ability. Of course. If your finances allow it,

You can continue to issue these things, but I don’t know if you have that much money anymore. If you also issue banknotes, then I will start a currency war for you.

They don't dare to mess around with things like currency wars. They have never been exposed to similar things. Sometimes they feel that they can't accept these new things, but the people from Cao's Commercial Bank will not give you time to react.

Five days passed by in an instant, but many court officials and some nobles who were watching regretted it at this time. They originally knew a lot of news, and they knew that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company would definitely negotiate quickly, and then

They want to quickly restore some business order, so they don't worry about this. They don't want the wealth in their hands to shrink. Those who went out a few days ago all have money in the hands of people who have little use. These people

There are still about ten trillions of silver in his hands, but what Li Cong wants to cheat is the money in the hands of these people. How can he wait to give it to them when he comes back? At this time, Li Cong took a big risk

Danger started another offensive on the front line. The 400,000 Cao Family Trading Company's army quickly attacked the people here. As a result, three counties and cities were captured, making people in the other three cities afraid at night.

They didn't dare to come out. In fact, Li Cong didn't expect to defeat these three counties and cities. It was just that after the previous war, the people of the Southern Empire no longer had any intention of resisting. In their view,

The most important thing now is to save their heads. As for other things, I'm sorry. They will never be with these people. When these people see these things, they feel that the world is ending. Li Cong

The purpose is to spread this matter to the Southern Empire quickly, and then those mysterious people will come out again, and they will even be forcibly bought and sold by the big nobles of the Southern Empire, but the price is only half of what you used to be.

You have done a lot of things for me, but now I am asked to get them back all at once.

Although all the money in the hands of the great nobles has been returned, there is one piece that cannot be used, and that is the money in the hands of the Southern Empire government. The Southern Empire court still has about three trillion banknotes, and they will never compete with those people.

Similarly, in their view, these things will be in hard currency sooner or later. Several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the Southern Empire have already studied them. Unless the people from the Cao Family Trading Company do not intend to continue to hang out in the Southern Empire, otherwise

These things will come back sooner or later. Each of these people are very persistent in what they do. In fact, it is their persistence that prevented the Southern Empire from losing this money. The Southern Empire government was also shaken for a time. They saw that

The people from the Cao Family Trading Company started to attack again. After figuring out this matter, they found out that the Cao Family Trading Company did this to chase some stragglers. It was because of this incident that people on both sides felt a little bit.

Feeling uncomfortable, the peace talks once again have some shadows. Sometimes these shadows may affect them in the end, but the people of the Southern Empire have grasped all this very well. The most important thing is that they did not give the money to them.

They exchanged it, which made them feel that things were going well. Indeed, they won in the end, but their people lost.

In fact, the money returned to the Cao Family Trading Company in the end, but a very regretful thing is that the money was returned as war reparations. Originally, the Southern Empire government was already planning to treat them all as waste paper.

But in the end, they didn't expect that the waste could still be recycled. This kind of thing made them all happy inexplicably. No one thought that there would be such an ending. But now these things will happen in the future. Now let's put it aside

The thing in front of Li Cong is how to quickly recover from the Southern Empire. This war is also very difficult for the Cao Family Commercial Bank. As of now, the Cao Family Commercial Bank has spent tens of billions on the entire war.

When the cannons on the front line were fired, it would be worth ten thousand taels of gold. However, this war expenditure was still very good for the people of the Cao family business. However, from the war, Li Cong felt that the military on earth in the past

The establishment is not very suitable for this planet, because this establishment is really too big, so Li Cong felt that it was necessary to make some establishments in the army smaller. The establishment of a division with hundreds of thousands of people now seems to be

It was definitely not going to work. Li Cong decided to implement the principle of the three-three system. The military rank system has also been implemented, and each level has its corresponding. Now the Cao Family Trading Company's army already has some prototypes of a junior modern army. Simply

Making a complete change at this time is not necessarily a bad thing for the Cao family business, but it will cause the army to undergo another huge change. I believe that people within the army will also adapt to such changes. It’s just that

There are more officers coming out, which means that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company have to spend even more money on the army.

In addition, Li Cong is also planning to increase the salaries of some people in the army, which will be of great help to some people. In the armies of the four empires, except for the army of the Eastern Empire, one person can serve as a soldier to support his family.

Except for people, the salaries given by the other three empires are not very high. For them, these people only need to eat enough, and there is no need to worry about other things. Li Cong wants to follow them

To compete for some soldiers, you have to make your treatment better than theirs. Otherwise, why would they want to serve as soldiers under you? Isn't this a mental problem? There is a good gap now, but

It's not enough. First of all, my name is different from others. Theirs is from the imperial court, and I am from a chamber of commerce. Anyone with a sound mind will know that they have to follow the imperial court. In the future, they will get an official position.

If you work part-time, you can go home and honor your ancestors, right? What good results can you get by following the people of the Cao Family Trading Company? It doesn’t matter if you have money. Many people still pursue that official position, so the Cao Family Trading Company must have
