Lingyu First Bank

Mo Jian's people are already well-qualified as professional spies. In just two months, they have formed a complete report on the currency issued by Kenlu.

Fu Fang, the king of Kenlu, issued a decree nearly three months ago, announcing that for the convenience of monks and the financial operation of the kingdom, Kenlu coins will be issued, and Kenlu coins can be used instead of spirit stones in the kingdom. All future official payments will not Instead of using spirit stones, Kenlu currency is used, including official purchases, official salaries, etc.Citizens can also pay taxes using Kenland currency.In the next ten years, the circulation function of spirit stones will be cancelled, and in the future, Kenlu coins can only be used instead of spirit stones for circulation.

The purpose is very simple, but Wang Yuan can also see some problems. First, the issuance of Kenlu coins is a mandatory official action.Second, the decree did not mention the reciprocal payment of Kenlu coins and Lingshi, which means that this is a purely national credit currency.

According to Mo Jian's report, the main reason for Kenlu to issue currency is apparently to imitate the first bank of Lingyu to facilitate settlement and circulation.But the actual background is that the Kingdom of Reclamation has run out of treasury in recent years, unable to pay various expenses.As a last resort, an official of the household department accidentally learned that there is still a thing called Lingyu currency circulating in the market, and even many merchants in the Kenlu country where there is no bank shop are using it.After a simple understanding, the household official thought this was a good solution to the financial crisis and reported to the higher authorities.When the king knew about it, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to study the plan, and announced the decree in advance, hoping to see the reaction of the people.

Unexpectedly, the people heard that Kenland Coins will be used to replace the circulation of spirit stones. Ten years later, it will still be compulsory. They are very panicked, especially those official purchasers and service providers. Otherwise, where do these people buy with Kenlu coins?Could it be possible to build a spirit stone by yourself?Shouldn't it all be thrown into the pit?
And the officials complained even more, suddenly they didn't give the spirit stone, but what kind of Kenlu coins and how to spend them?
The official who proposed to issue Kenlu coins, the king has directly promoted him to three ranks and became a servant of the household department, but people visit him every day, and more than 400 memorials participate in him. The reasons are even more varied. Some complained that he went to the brothel without paying the spirit stone, some complained that the animal cart he was riding in usurped, some complained that he was greedy for ink, and some complained that he did not pay attention to hygiene.In short, this person was unknown in the court before, but now he has become the number one bastard in the world.

The king was still protecting it at first, but the impeachment of these people was a daily act and had nothing to do with the issuance of currency.There were so many impeachments that even the king felt that this person was really not very good, so he was directly exempted from the sixth level and assigned to a small remote town as the deputy city lord.

And above the court, there are endless quarrels about the issuance of currency every day. Although most officials are opposed to the issuance of currency, there are always villains who follow the trend and flatter courtiers no matter where they are.

A group of shrewd officials who were not in power on weekdays saw the opportunity, joined forces, and resolutely supported the king's decision.

King Fu Fang was overjoyed when he gained support. Under the instigation of these people, he began to adjust the officials on a large scale. All the officials who supported his currency issuance were promoted. Correspondingly, the officials who opposed him were naturally punished, and even killed three A fiercely opposed official.He abruptly silenced the opposing voices in the court.

As for the folks, Fu Fang had considered them at all, and dared to oppose and kill them.

The most important reason why the Reclamation treasury is in short supply is this talisman.

Fu Fang has been on the throne for less than a hundred years, but Kenlu was a wealthy country a hundred years ago.It has its own spiritual stone mine, and several well-known minerals are produced. In addition, the local soil is rich in aura, and there are various elixir in the mountains. After thousands of years of development, the alchemy industry of the Kenlu Kingdom And the refining industry is very prosperous, and the treasury is always full.

Since Fu Fang ascended the throne, he has been extravagant and extravagant, and he has made great achievements.First, he spent a huge sum of money from the national treasury to buy and build a cave for himself. It is said that the luxury inside is indescribable, and even the floor is made of rare refining materials.

Then when he visited the neighboring country of Wenshan, he actually fell in love with the queen of the other king, and openly molested the queen at the state banquet, and the queen retreated in embarrassment and anger.

The two sides broke up unhappy, and Wenshan Kingdom suppressed the matter because these things hurt the face of the Wang family in view of the historical friendship between the two countries.

Unexpectedly, this Fu Fang sent a private letter to the king of Wenshan, begging for the other party's queen, and brazenly said that as long as the queen lived in his cave for a year, he would return the queen, and at the same time he would pay a large sum of spirit stones.

When things came to this, there was an accident. For some unknown reason, this letter spread to the people of Kenlu. It is said that Fu Fang leaked it on purpose.

Although he is not ashamed of his own king's deeds, such a strong king is still very interesting, so rumors about the king of Kenlu and the queen of Wenshan spread in the Kingdom of Kenlu, pointing at the greenness of King Wenshan's head.

Soon, this kind of rumors spread to Wenshan, and the two countries had close exchanges. The rumors immediately caused disputes among the people, and the people of the two countries confronted each other.

King Wenshan couldn't stand up to refute rumors about this kind of thing, and he, Fu Fang, really dared to write letters to important people.

The king of Wenshan was finally driven into a hurry, and wrote a letter to Fu Fang, asking Fu Fang to send his queen to live in Wenshan for a year.

Unexpectedly, Fu Fang actually sent the queen to Wenshan Kingdom, and sent someone to send a letter saying that my queen has been sent to you, and your queen will be sent to me quickly.

After Fu Fang's queen entered Wenshan Kingdom, she thought of such a shame and humiliation, and died by suicide.

The king of Wenshan is not crazy, how could he send his queen to Kenlu.

He asked Fu Fang to give away the queen just to let him know that he should not do to others what he does not want to be done to others. He never thought that there would be such an absurd king in this world who actually gave away the queen.

The queen died in Wenshan Kingdom, Fu Fang didn't take it seriously, but just sent a message to the king of Wenshan, if you want my queen, I will send it to you, you should send your queen quickly, don't stay for a year this time , my queen is dead, you pay me the queen and it's over.

The king of Wenshan couldn't bear it anymore, and announced Fu Fang's absurd behavior to the world. At the same time, he announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Kenlu and closed the border.And apply to the Mengcheng Empire to crusade against Fufang.

The Mengcheng Empire also felt that the king of Kenlu was too disrespectful, so he wrote a letter to reprimand him and asked him to come forward and apologize to the king of Kenlu.

Now the king of Kenlu quit. He didn't dare to offend the Mengcheng Empire. He spent a lot of spiritual stones to buy off the royal family and important ministers of the Mengcheng Empire, and at the same time declared war on the Wenshan Kingdom.

The Mengcheng Empire doesn't take wars with its subordinate countries seriously. The more you fight, the weaker you will become. As long as which side has the upper hand, it's not too late for me to persuade you to fight.So happy to see it happen.

The national strengths of Wenshan and Reclamation are almost the same, and neither side wants to fight a big war. There are always some local wars. This fight has lasted for more than 60 years.It was not considered a temporary end until the death of King Wenshan two years ago.

This battle has put pressure on the national finances of both sides, but relatively speaking, the pressure on Reclamation is greater, because in the past 60 years, the king Fu Fang has been too capable of disaster.
