Chapter 86/The Unique Solution of N Methods (Part 2)
"But before that, there is another problem." The girl paused for a moment, and then continued, "Although you said to destroy Nanling according to Master Wen, the term "destruction" has many definitions - from an economic, political, military, and even physical..."
Yiwen Ian nodded and smiled: "Well, natural disasters, asteroids hit the earth, aliens invade, of course, this kind of thing is not a qualified answer."
Yiwen Ian made a joke that Edhiel couldn't understand, but the Dragon Girl studied with Aofeta for more than a month and already understood how to get along with Yiwen Ian. Just ignore such an inexplicable joke.
"So after knowing which enemies of the Nanling Mountains are, we must consider what their goals are - or in other words, for them, what kind of goals they achieve is to 'destroy the current Nanling Mountains', and then consider what means they need to achieve such goals."
"Is 'motivation' and 'means'? This is indeed a feasible idea." Yiwen Ian agreed, "What's next?"
Edishil continued: "First of all, the purpose of the conservatives should be to 'stop reform'. And the royals, without a doubt, need a stable, unpromising granary in the South Ridge, rather than a powerful South Ridge with a large number of elite soldiers, developed industries, and abundant production capacity."
"So their common purpose is not to completely destroy Nanling, but to give Nanling enough economic and industrial blows to make the future of Nanling lose the possibility of further reform and progress. This is their real purpose."
Yiwen Ian pointed: "It is better to destroy the current ruler of the Nanling Mountains, that is, the Silver Rose family. This analysis is correct. The purpose of the church is also to target our bloodline as black blooders, not the interests of the Nanling Mountains. Of course, if a pro-church nobleman is replaced by the prefect of the Nanling Mountains, the church will undoubtedly gain huge benefits from it, but this benefit is relatively secondary to the church and not their primary purpose."
Adeshel clicked, intentionally not mentioning the species of immortality. To be honest, the Nanling Resistance Organization now does not have the ability to leverage Nanling alone. If Adeshel may have delusions before seeing the big magic box, then now she only prays that Cecivenna will escape as far as possible and not be involved in the huge mud of White Rose City. Without a leader with a long-term vision, the last brigade will rashly jump into this undercurrent of disputes, it will only be like a child rat, swallowed by a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, and cannot even float a blood flower.
"When the conservatives and royalists want to destroy the Nanling, they usually consider starting from the three directions of politics, economy and military." Seeing that Yiwen Ian did not express, Edishir was a little relieved, and also focused his thoughts on analysis. "For example, if the emperor could take back the title of the Ian family, this is of course the easiest choice for the royalists. However, as a king, he should be kind and righteous, not as he wishes, nor should he lose faith in the ministers, causing the princes under his rule to lose confidence in the royal family, which leads to the collapse of the empire. In addition, the Grand Duke Feldnan was determined to fight for the country for so many years. If he was removed from the title only because of false charges and the reasons for the death of rabbits and dogs, it would be too hurtful and unhappy. Therefore, although this method is simple, the emperor would never choose this kind of inferior strategy unless it was absolutely necessary."
Yiwen Ian looked at Edhiel and told her, but a strange thought arose in her heart. Edhiel is the princess of the Nanling royal family, and he has always been very clear about this. As a woman with such an identity, it is normal for her to have certain political abilities and royal skills. However, Edhiel has only been in Nanling for more than a month, and based on the limited information she has obtained, analyzing the situation between Nanling and the Empire to this extent is no longer enough to describe it as "normal"-
He felt that perhaps because of her identity as a woman, she concealed her talent and excellence, that Adeshill's reputation was not outstanding when her brother and sister were alive. The only person who saw her talent in Wang Zheng and deliberately taught her was probably the only one in Nanling Blood Dragon King Ulysses, who was said to be very spoiled by his youngest daughter.
As long as there is Edishir in Nanling, the kingdom will not have really perished. If Edishir like this one really stands opposite Yiwen Ian one day, then even if she is cut off from the possibility of childbirth, just using her body as the immortal seed, the life span of more than two centuries will be enough to become his most terrible enemy in Nanling.
And Adeshill, who was thinking hard, did not realize that at this moment, more than a dozen thoughts flowed through Yiwen Ian's mind in an instant. At this time, her entire focus was on the current analysis.
Subconsciously stroking his long hair, Adesh continued to boldly infer: "But although the emperor could not directly cut the Ian family to the end. However, as the leader of a country, the emperor who is far away in the imperial capital, even if he only expressed his attitude, exerted some hints, and created some influence, it was enough to influence the entire situation..."
Yiwen Ian smiled bitterly. Although Edhiel's inference was biased to a certain extent because of insufficient information, the inference she said was not far from the facts. His Majesty the Emperor had not completely lost trust in the Ian family today, but he only had suspicion. However, as Edhiel said, as the king of a country, even if he had a little doubt, whether intentional or unintentional, it was still enough to put the Ian family in an abnormal dilemma.
The four forces were facing Nanling at the same time, even if Feldnan was shocking these ghosts and monsters, the emperor's invitation letter could still allow him to leave Nanling at the moment when the Silver Rose family was most reluctant and needed Feldnan's prestige and power the most.
"Is it a son or an emperor?" In a sense, that Your Majesty was examining Feldnan with such a difficult question as "It's a king or a father". As for Yiwen Ian himself, he has not yet fallen into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and he can only be regarded as a small character.
However, as an insignificant little character, Yiwen Ian wanted to complain that His Majesty's thoughts were as unreasonable as the question of "My mother and her wife fell into the river at the same time, who will save first", but the relationship between the king and the subject is sometimes like this: when the arrogant attack encounters awkwardness, it is difficult to deal with it and it is messy.
Adeshill's inference continues: "It is in this case that the conservatives have the possibility of controlling the situation in the South Ridge - but even under the emperor's default, the methods that conservatives can choose are still limited."
"It's nothing more than destroying the economy of Nanling through commercial and political means, launching armed rebellions, and assassination." Wrapped her hair around her index finger in circles, Edishir concluded at the end that from ancient times to the present, the methods below the ministers' subordinates' methods are nothing more than these. The slightly new and strangest ones are probably the only point of commercial war.
"If we don't mention armed rebellion and assassination, let's analyze it from the perspective of commercial warfare. Nanling's current status is based on the monetary policy of Wuyin coins and the dumping of industrial products. But the so-called success is currency, and failure is currency. Since the foundation of Nanling's rise is currency, then those conservatives can also destroy Nanling's monetary system through the same means, thus forcing Nanling to step down from the altar. This can be considered a gentle destruction of Nanling."
Yiwen Ian pointed out. Although shearing wool is quite terrible, it is indeed difficult to calm down in terms of military wars. In his previous life, Japan and Thailand were cut so miserably by Amelli. In the end, people's lives could still make the people of the 1990s envious.
"Then do you think, if you want to destroy the currency hegemony in Nanling, how should you get it?" Yiwen Ian asked Edishil as if he was casually chatting. As a time traveler, he certainly knew the weakness of his capital hegemony, but he had never taught Edishil before. He wanted to see what level Princess Dragon could do without anyone's guidance.
"...Well..." Adesh couldn't help but remain silent. She said that destroying the monetary policy of Nanling was just a way of thinking. She had never thought about the specific operation seriously, "...it should be a physical industry... For example, cutting off energy and ore supply..."
At the end, Adeshel told me a way that she didn't believe much.
"Is the real industry... This answer counts as 30 points." Sure enough, Yiwen Ian's score for Edishir was not high. "Nanling's monetary policy is based on Nanling's real industry, but not all monetary hegemony is based on the real industry. What really holds monetary hegemony is actually the market, the 'single market'."
Looking at Adeshire's confused appearance, Yiwen Ian gave her an example, "Simply put, Adeshire, you think that the people of Nanling are fine. For the sake of the current Empire, even the people of the Empire gritted their teeth at the depreciation of the Wuyin coins, and they also held a large number of Wuyin coins?"
"Because... if they want to buy bulk industrial products and grain, they can only buy them from Nanling, right?" Adesh hesitated for a moment, but his voice was very confident when answering.
"Yes, this is a single market." Yiwen Ian considered it, "Of course, it's a bit inaccurate to say this. In fact, compared to a single market, Nanling is now closer to a monopoly market."
"Through administrative means, Nanling prohibits the circulation of Imperial Silver Coins on the market. That is to say, if you want to buy goods in Nanling, you must use Wuyin coins, otherwise it is illegal. When using Imperial Silver Coins to buy goods in Nanling, the Nanling government will not be responsible for the loss due to the order time and exchange rate changes, and the Nanling government will not bear the responsibility for this."
"That is to say, as the only major industrial product market in the empire, Wuyin coins have the absolute pricing power of commodities in the market. As the only supplier, if the Nanling government raises the price of goods - that is, controls the exchange rate by changing the silver content of the new coin, the empire has no resistance and can only be passively beaten."
"Unless His Majesty the Emperor completely regained the rights of coin minting in Nanling, because of the single market of industrial products, that is, the huge and only physical industry in Nanling, all imperial merchants must purchase Nanling's goods in the form of black silver coins and then sell them in the form of imperial silver coins."
"In this process, the circulation of two currencies occurs at the same time. When there are multiple currencies in a market, the change in the exchange rate will hit this multi-currency economy that people who only come into contact with the single currency system cannot imagine."
Speaking of this, Yiwen Ian raised a finger: "For example, on the first day, an imperial merchant held 500-black silver coins and bought goods with exchange rate of 100-black silver coins. Then when he took off the goods in the empire at the price of 120-black silver coins, he suddenly found that the exchange rate had changed. 120-black silver coins could only be exchanged for 360-black silver coins. Then his 140-black silver coins evaporated in the fluctuations of the exchange rate."
"And in this fluctuating game, the Silver Rose family, who holds the initiative, always wins and does not lose."
"Of course, this is just an ordinary gameplay." Yiwen Ian did not tell Edhiel what the advanced gameplay was, because he didn't want to use that method, because once this excessive gameplay was sacrificed, it would be destructive to the empire's financial system - "By issuing bonds, making a blank IOU, and then recycling bonds by manipulating exchange rate fluctuations" and other Ameliga gameplay is the real "wool shearing", but it will inevitably be a gameplay that the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate.
In fact, the exchange rate of the Wuyin coins against the empire has always been reduced but not increased, because Yiwen Ian did not want to completely lose his toys because he played too much, which aroused the emperor's fear and further attention.
"And, under the current Wuyin Coin system, there is not much difference between using Wuyin Coin or Imperial Coin, at least it is not effective quickly." Yiwen Yian finally explained, "Because not only most of the factories of the empire are concentrated in Nanling, but even the production of industrial machines is controlled by Nanling. Even if Nanling is reclaimed to attack Nanling by coining rights, Nanling will stop attracting investment and no longer use industrial machines, then with the technical level of the imperial merchants and nobles, they will still not be able to compete with Nanling in a short period of time. So destroying the Nanling market... First, they cannot do it, and second, at least it will not be a short-term choice, so they can ignore it first."
In the end, Ian made a definition.
However, looking at Yiwen Ian's words, Adesh's doubts were not explained. In her opinion, long-term hidden dangers are still hidden dangers. If they cannot be solved, when that day really comes, it will be hit harder than short-term hidden dangers.
However, Ewen Ian did not let Edhiel find a chance to speak up.
He felt that the test for Adeshill was almost done, so he did not let her continue to explain the other two points.
Instead, he said it himself: "As for armed rebellion and assassination... my father, Duke of Nanling and Grand Duke Feldnan, could not be their targets at all, because even if the rebels surrounded him with a large number of troops, they could not kill him or prevent him from breaking through."
"So, if those conservatives do one day initiate a rebellion, then their target could only be me."
"In other words, whether they choose to arm rebellion or assassinate, whether they are conservatives, emperors, or churches, they have only one way to destroy the South Ridge—"
Yiwen Ian exhaled gently: "That's killing me."
