The news that the five masters jointly failed to assassinate the demon soon spread. Even though Taoists all over the world knew that the demon who came to the world would be cruel, they never expected that it would be so cruel.
In the palace, when Liu Guangzheng learned the news, more than a month had passed. He was not surprised to hear the news.
Those immortals are blind to the mountains. Each immortal has a solid self-awareness, which is naturally a good thing. However, sometimes, the recognition is too firm, which is equivalent to a solidified thinking.
Those immortals were all using their own "common sense" to view the coming of the demon into the world, so they died.
As a modern person, Liu Guangzheng's thinking is undoubtedly not bound by many "common senses" in this world.
As early as the night when they wrote the imperial edict, they knew that these people were going to be in bad luck. At the same time, they also knew that they could not persuade them to use their immortal magic power to help them burn stoves and engage in industry.
How could the immortals who roam freely between heaven and earth be driven by the emperor?
It is true that some Taoists who are frustrated will choose to be dogs for the imperial court, but more of them, even if they have missions assigned by the gods and Buddhas in the upper world, it is impossible for those Taoists to fear the imperial power, and it is impossible for Liu Guangzheng to ask them to do anything.
, they will do whatever they want, even if Liu Guangzheng’s choice is right.
"After all, the hearts of the world cannot be unified. Before I traveled, I heard that the First Emperor's carriage and documents were traveling on the same track, so I just thought it was nothing. But after traveling, I saw that the hearts of all living beings are different. Just a small palace, a small
In the divine capital, it takes a lot of effort to maintain order and enforce orders and prohibitions, let alone affect the entire world..."
"There are thousands of kinds of people, and there are always those who disobey education. They can't help but kill and destroy them. They are no different from rebels. But, now, I must rely on these rebels..."
Liu Guangzheng thought in his mind that in reality, no sound was made.
If you make a sound, it may leave traces. Even if the Taoists know the emperor's thoughts well, as long as they don't reveal it, it can be regarded as ignorance, and each other is tacitly aware of it.
And once it is exposed and taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions, the follow-up will be very troublesome.
Over the past few years, although he has consolidated his foundation somewhat, he is still walking on thin ice.
What he said now is inappropriate. If the imperial court fails in the subsequent operation to annihilate the Zhao thieves, some people may not want to use this excuse to say that he has sinned against God and wants to dethrone the emperor.
Many things are as light as a feather as long as they are not poked out or put on the scale. Once they are put on the scale, they cannot be weighed down by a thousand pounds.
"The same goes for the army. I want to train a new army, but the treasury is empty. Although the late emperor saved a little money by selling his official positions, such a small amount of money is enough to repair the palace, but it must be used to build an army.
But it doesn’t work anymore.”
"I have knowledge from my previous life and can burn glass and make soap, but in this era, powerful families and the imperial court are exploiting each other. It is difficult for ordinary people to even eat, let alone spend money to buy these things. They can only sell them to powerful people.
"
"And this is just a small profit."
"If you want to make a huge fortune, you have to sell arms. When the quality and production of firearms increase, they can be sold directly to powerful people in various places. If everyone has guns, it means that everyone has no guns."
"Moreover, the capital is far away from the Southern Wilderness. Those powerful people, in order to protect themselves, will definitely spend money to buy weapons from the imperial court..."
"I sell weapons to them, which can not only consume the power of the Zhao thieves, but also increase the power of the imperial court. At the same time, it also weakens the powerful. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."
"I remember before time travel, there was one of the most powerful countries at the time who liked to do this kind of thing. It not only weakened the opponent, but also gained a huge amount of wealth. This was a truly clever plan."
"It's a pity that in this era there is no room for paper money to survive. No one in the world recognizes this. Otherwise, I can directly print money and plunder everyone's wealth through inflation. With this method, not only can I get
Being extremely rich does not require you to bear any infamy..."
"In this era, the court mainly relies on tax collection, so it is full of complaints. If it relies on inflation, it can not only reduce and reduce many unnecessary taxes, but also reduce the possibility of two, three, and four ways of exploitation by the people below.
Sex, and more importantly, it will force those powerful people with a lot of wealth to invest their money in industries, thereby reducing the evaporation rate of wealth and using it to promote the development of the country."
Liu Guangzheng had thousands of thoughts echoing in his heart. These thoughts were not the first time he had thought of them, but had appeared many times.
He knew very well that as a modern man, his greatest advantage was not his intellectual superiority. In terms of scheming and conspiracy, he could not defeat the monsters of this era.
His advantage is the more advanced system that is ahead of this era.
Of course, there is no perfect system in the world. Just like the printing of money he thought about above, generally speaking, there must be physical assets as an anchor point for printing, and it cannot be printed casually.
In the previous life, the earliest was the gold standard, where currency was equivalent to gold. How much gold was printed was how much money was printed.
It continued to develop and improve, and finally became a national credit endorsement.
But so-called national credit is, in essence, still a physical asset.
For example, mines, land, cities, population...
In this case, the currency has a fault-tolerant value. If you have an asset of 10,000 points, you can print 15,000 and slowly circulate it. In this case, there will not be a big problem.
Because as time goes by, people on the land are constantly producing and creating wealth. The extra five thousand points are to plunder the wealth created by everyone in the next few years quietly out of thin air.
part of it.
But if there are 10,000 points and 100,000 are printed at once, the whole system will collapse. It will definitely happen that in the morning, 10,000 yuan can buy a cow, at noon, you can only buy a chicken, and in the afternoon, you can only buy a box of matches.
situation.
And as long as the printing is not too exaggerated, it will be almost proportional to plundering wealth from the entire world.
In this case, the court would be short of everything except money.
Liu Guangzheng had this idea of printing money long before his rebirth. After his rebirth, he had even stronger ideas.
According to his estimate, it would be more than ten or twenty years later, which would be enough time for him to clean up the imperial court, eliminate his relatives, and weaken the powerful. By then, he should be in his thirties and less than forty years old.
, can be said to be in the prime of life.
Then, there was a great monetary revolution. Paper money was used to bring back all the world's currencies to the imperial court, and as an anchor point, it started with the gold and silver standard, and then spent twenty years slowly transitioning to the point where currency and physical entities
Asset binding.
Until the end, it will take another twenty years to become bound to national credit.
By that time, he should be eighty years old, and he is about to be buried. As for his achievements, as a person who saved the world in his last years and started a new era, being a perfect old man with perfect martial arts is not
No exaggeration.
It's a pity that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is more difficult. He only has a little bit of super power to see people's hearts, but on the other side, a demon has come to the world.
That's all. As a righteous party, with the help of experts from all walks of life, I am not completely incapable of fighting, but unfortunately, these experts have their own ideas, and they just want to send...
"If the right time is on my side..."
After a long time, Liu Guangzheng finally made a sound. He finished his thinking with a long sigh.
He knew that what he seemed to be lacking most now was money, but in reality, what he was really lacking was time.
