Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

"And my point of view is to let the currency have a physical representation and establish an equivalent connection."

"Although human beings have used virtual currency since the establishment of the empire in the Huiguang Starfield, relying on the network and identity terminals as evidence of personal financial resources. Its center is the mastermind of the empire, so it has considerable stability. However, from the fundamentals of currency Basically, money starts with physical objects.”

"The initial trade development of civilization was mostly based on barter; later, there was a hub between goods and goods exchange-equivalent items that acted as currency, shells, gold, silver, iron, etc. Later development, for trade Convenience, starting to have banknotes—this is not an equivalent item, but a value symbol like the current star coin.”

Everyone sitting there listened attentively, and there was an inexplicable feeling in the entire conference room that a group of students were listening to a teacher's lecture.

Tang Chu looked at Cheng Feng with some doubts and more interest.

...He thought that in this interstellar era, there should be a break point with the pre-technical civilization of the Gutia star period.Since the establishment of the empire, it has been a technological society. Regarding the concept of currency, except for those historical researchers, most people only have the virtual currency currently used, star coins.How did this Cheng Feng, a boy from a remote planet, know these histories?

...Or, the source of his knowledge is not the empire, but... something else?

Cheng Feng continued: "The reason why the banknotes before Star Coins are stable is not because of the strong government words, but because they represent equivalents behind them. It is linked to real objects, and banknotes can be exchanged for general equivalents, and the exchange rate is stable. , so although banknotes themselves cannot be eaten or worn, they can be used stably to buy food and clothing.”

"So, since the government can't stipulate the value of star coins in one word, then find a general equivalent for star coins, which is stable and valuable."

"I think this method is more feasible and less time-consuming than building a strong government."

"A friend of mine before," he actually looked at Tang Chu, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "He has the same name as Young Master Tang, also named Tang Chu. He is a somewhat idealistic, sometimes A very paranoid person. But he said a word, and I agree with it. He said that the best way to do things for the people is to leave it to the people themselves, and believe that they can do well. No matter how tough the leader is, he will not be able to choose the best It is suitable and the best choice for the people. They will not understand their own affairs."

"And I think, at such a time when the society is in chaos due to the devaluation of star coins, why not tell the people our thoughts and conduct a vote on the currency, which can be considered to appease the people."

Cheng Feng, who followed Tang Chu's eyes all the time, sat down after finishing speaking.

At the same time, he sneered in his heart.

It's Cheng Feng, that's right.

Very good, I didn't recognize him for so long, I thought I was just a person with "the same name as Young Master Tang".

And think I'm not here, and speak ill of me.

Paranoid?Idealism?

And he said bad things in front of Lian Ting.

Sitting down after speaking, Cheng Feng, who was flushed with excitement, suddenly felt cold all over for some reason.

Lian Ting agreed with Cheng Feng's proposal, saying:

"I agree with what he said, and the specific arrangements need to be planned. Then the first question is, what should be used to represent the equivalent?"

Tang Wanli over there suddenly took a look at Tang Chu, as if he had thought of something.

"Then how about the Sapphire, how about it? I think it was because of the Sapphire and because of the Nr route that the early Tang Dynasty had a good time, and it is also a fate."

"Then I'll go." Tang Chu raised his hand and said. "The Resource Management Bureau and the Punishment Bureau are all behind the Third Prince. I'll go see him."

Lian Ting nodded, "Then, for the public's explanation, I ask Cheng Feng to come forward."

Cheng Feng nodded with a serious expression, as if a great mission had come from heaven, he took it steadily.

When leaving, Tang Chu deliberately went to Cheng Chengfeng, who was carefully sorting out the information.He gave Cheng Feng a sideways look, and when he passed by, he stretched out his foot and hooked his chair inadvertently.Cheng Feng exclaimed and fell to the ground with a "boom".

Tang Chu held his head high and walked away proudly.

Hiss, it hurts.

Collect the interest first, and take care of him when you are free.

The place where nobles and royal family members are held is still very high-end, and it is the best apartment building in the imperial capital.These nobles and members of the royal family were confiscated with communication equipment, and the building was surrounded by guards.What's more, a large crowd of people gathered downstairs, some of them sat on the ground and chatted with each other; or they even set up a stall below to buy and sell some snacks for talking.

Tang Chu walked over with an inexplicable expression on his face, and some people saw him from a long distance, and when Tang Chu got out of the car, he saw someone waving in his direction.Tang Chu looked around, but there was no one else.

When I got closer, I heard them shouting "Young Master Tang".

Tang Chu felt that after a betrayal, he became a new star in the entertainment circle.His words and videos of negotiating on the battlefield have been spread almost all over the star network, and there are endless discussions; no matter where he goes now, there are still "fans" welcoming him. ...Well, it feels good anyway.

Tang Chu kindly asked a few of them:

"What are you doing here? Sitting on the road... enjoying the shade?"

One person pointed to the building behind: "Help the generals watch them! They are very cunning!"

Tang Chu gave them a thumbs up, "Come on!"

The third prince was imprisoned in a room on the top floor. Tang Chu opened the door directly and went in. He saw the third prince, who had always been gentle and refined, sitting quietly on the sofa with a gloomy face. He only raised his eyelids when he heard the voice. , hooked the corner of his mouth mockingly.

Tang Chu walked over calmly and sat on the sofa in front of the third prince Ya Xiaosi.

"How have you been these few days? Are you comfortable?"

Axiaos spoke with a hoarse voice: "Win the king and lose the bandit."

Tang Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm still a man of culture. You know that winners are kings and losers, but do you know that retribution is not good?"

Ya Xiaosi laughed ironically, in Tang Chu's eyes, he deserved a beating.

Tang Chu said: "When you sat in your seats, you should have known that there would be a day when you fell. You control the empire... no, you once controlled the empire, but this does not mean that everything in the empire, including human life, is Your belongings can be trampled on wantonly. You really did this, so you are now a prisoner."

Ashaos said: "How much better can you do? A group of lowly mutants, some useless civilians, you think you can manage the entire empire? When we are in our former position, what you do will be better than us Where to go. The people of the empire, just changed the ruler, what is the difference between the others?"

Tang Chu shook his head, looked at Ya Xiaosi with pity in his eyes: "You, you won't understand."

Ya Xiaosi looked at Tang Chu angrily.

Tang Chu propped his chin, "You have always been a member of the empire, you have always sat in a high position, you have always been so arrogant, and you have always been so ignorant. So you can't imagine the grand occasion of our empire building after that. But it doesn't matter, I He is a kinder person, and you...should live to see all of this one day."

Axiaos laughed noncommittally, his posture remained unchanged, "What is your purpose here?"

Tang Chu said: "Where is the prison?"

Axiaos showed a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand.

"Sapphire Mine Star, Imperial Prison."

Ya Xiaos laughed softly, "Master Tang's words are really strange. This is clearly under the jurisdiction of the Resource Management Bureau and the Punishment Bureau. Why do you ask me?"

Tang Chu sneered, "The aristocrats in these two departments are under your control, so is it possible to ask them without you?"

Ya Xiaosi smiled and said, "I don't understand what Young Master Tang said again."

Tang Chu ignored the other party's pretending to be confused, and just said:

"I'm very surprised. Before you were imprisoned, you were searched. Everything on your body was searched, and even the clothes were not your own. How did you control those nobles, or what did you use to control those nobles? "

"You don't have to say you don't understand." Tang Chu changed his posture, and his tone was very natural. "Of course, I have investigated everything before I came here. You, and only you, have always been in control of the things that control the nobles. It has always been said that the emperor has the greatest power in the empire, but in fact it is not the case. It should be the nobles who control the things." The prince of the 'controller' has the greatest power."

Axiaosi's gaze was complicated, but it quickly faded away.

Tang Chu glanced at him, and continued to speculate seriously:

"In the royal family, those who have always inherited the throne have always been the eldest prince. What puzzles me is that those who have always stood by the emperor's side will always have a younger brother who is outstanding in talent and has been specially trained. Why do those who are capable look at him?" What about not being on the throne? Could it be that people in the royal family are so generous that they don’t even care about the throne? In fact, it’s because apart from the eldest son inheriting the throne, the real power and planning are all in the hands of another prince, right? ——Of course, it also includes 'noble remote control'. Tsk, my name is good."

Axiaos finally changed, but immediately, he asked back:

"so what?"

"No, I just thought, since you are the only one who controls the nobles, then if I kill you, won't there be no hindrance?"

Axiaosi said: "Aren't you worried that I will take the lives of all the nobles before you kill me?"

"That's a joy to hear and see!" Tang Chu excitedly patted his thigh, with an encouraging expression on his face:

"That's just right. You originally kept those nobles, but you thought it would be ugly to kill so many people, and leave a bloodthirsty impression on the citizens for no reason. If you are willing to take action, the people you kill will be backed by the royal family." So, it has nothing to do with us. Help us clean them up without getting blood on your hands—if you really want to kill them, do you need us to help you?"
