"When did the real person become aware of the corruption within Kunlun?"
"These are a comparison of the accounts of the chieftains in the past hundred years. The income from the Ling Mine has been decreasing year by year. The amount alone is not very large, but after so many years, the difference is astonishing." Rong Tong put the first number on the table A jade slip.
"Zuo Shilang of the Household Registration Department once informed Yuanjun about this matter. According to him, it was originally because most of the Huangui-level spiritual veins did not reach the required reserves, and the exploitation rate was reduced after being downgraded to Xingui. "
"Then I think Minister Zuo has already provided conclusive evidence to the Presbyterian Council."
"Of course, the six gods in the transformation stage have personally verified that it is correct. The downgrade is a decree personally issued by the Council of Elders."
"Is it just a simple check on the spiritual veins?"
"if not?"
"After all, spiritual veins are related to the entire cultivation world, and Kunlun has always been cautious about them. If I have the guts to profit from it, I must have a perfect way to hide it. How can I let others easily find doubts in the spiritual veins? "
"Then if, as the real person said, the Presbyterian Council was deceived by them, how did you detect this?"
Rong Tong smiled and placed the second jade slip on the table.
"The level of spiritual veins can be concealed seamlessly, but the market cannot deceive people."
"……market?"
Rong Tong sighed. It turns out that these unworldly managers don't even have the most basic financial acumen. It seems they can only follow the guidance.
She handed the jade slip over, "Why don't you take a look first and then tell me what you can see?"
The other party hesitated, but finally probed in with his spiritual consciousness.
"This looks like...the price changes in the cultivation world over the past hundred years?"
"Yes, and I have selected items that are traded in large quantities or commonly circulated in the cultivation world. They can objectively reflect the price changes in the past hundred years to the greatest extent."
"Yes, the numbers above are clear and detailed. It can be seen that prices have increased greatly in the past hundred years. The Elders Council has not paid attention to this issue. However, after discussion with the elders, although prices have increased, they have not harmed the cultivation world. It's stable, so we'll put it aside for the time being..." The other party still looked confused.
Rong Tong was shocked by the "pure and innocent" look on the face of the guy opposite her who was probably several times her age. She took a deep breath, fuck you idiot! What she asked for was probably cramming--
“We might as well summarize the reasons for the skyrocketing prices:
First, it may be due to an excessive increase in aggregate demand that exceeds the supply of goods and services at a given price level. However, as the chieftain of the household, I naturally know that the number of monks in the cultivation world has not increased but decreased in the past hundred years, especially during the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages when I have the greatest demand for elixirs and magic weapons and at the same time the economic situation is relatively good. I, Kunlun Although still flourishing, other sects have experienced varying degrees of decline. There are even fewer people buying things, so how can demand increase?
Secondly, it may be that rising production costs have led to rising prices. The reasons are nothing more than: significant increase in labor costs; excessive increase in profits; rising raw material prices. Therefore, I specifically asked the construction hall and found out that the exact reason should be the third point. From natural materials and earthly treasures to ordinary materials, the price increase is really amazing.
But the reason for rising prices for raw materials is generally simply that they are endangered and scarce. But I specifically investigated the output of these raw materials and found that their output has been stable at a level over the past thousand years. Then the question arises. Output remains unchanged and demand decreases, so why does the price increase? "
The other party was really confused by the question. The tangled look on his face seemed to be thinking about the problem of relativity in quantum mechanics.
But Rong Tong couldn't wait for the other party to understand. She spoke faster and faster, not giving the other party any room to interrupt:
"Of course, there are other reasons for the skyrocketing prices, such as major changes in the economic structure of the cultivation world leading to imbalance. Since Kunlun has always adhered to the Xuanhuang system in the general direction unwaveringly for thousands of years, this can be ruled out; or the total social demand is not enough Under the changing circumstances, the total supply is relatively insufficient, but as I said before, it is actually the opposite, because the monks have signs of a fault. In fact, the overall situation is almost oversupply, which is ruled out; of course, it may also be due to Our regime is unstable and our system is imperfect, but..."
"Real people be careful what they say!"
The other party hurriedly interrupted her. Although she was not good at economics, she was very popular and expert on the core issue of pursuing the Greater Kunlun. "Since the founding of Kunlun, the cultivation world has been completely clear. As the real person said, it is absolutely impossible!"
"Yeah, how could there be something wrong with Kunlun's system?"
Rong Tongyu patted the other party's shoulder sincerely,
"Then what is the reason that causes our prices to skyrocket?"
"Uh..." The other party fell into entanglement again.
"This couldn't be simpler, isn't it?" Rong Tong held up his forehead, "Because there is too much currency in circulation!"
"?!!!"
"The money supply is too much, exceeding the actual demand in circulation, and the excess continues to circulate in circulation. This will inevitably lead to currency devaluation and rising prices." Rong Tong leisurely placed another jade slip on the table.
"This is the price increase in the past 100 years compared to the previous 900 years. It can be seen that this riot-like increase itself is abnormal. A large number of spiritual veins have fallen from Kunlun's control into private hands, which is equivalent to Kunlun's issue of currency. The right to decide the quantity has been diluted. In the past century, it is obvious that excess spiritual minerals have been directly put into market circulation after being mined.
As far as I know, each registered spiritual vein has a quota for the amount of mining, and the way to detect whether they are over-exploited is to use a magic weapon left over from the Xuanhuang period. Its operating mechanism is to automatically detect the spiritual vein. Whether the degree of exploitation exceeds the maximum endurance of its magnitude.
If the spiritual veins of Xin Gui and below were to cause today's situation, Kunlun should have noticed it long ago unless all the spiritual veins in Junzhou were mined out at once, let alone fishing. Therefore, there is only one explanation. The actual reserves of spiritual veins in private hands are far higher than the highest level limit of Xin Gui. "
The other party was silent, he just didn't understand this matter. Once someone breaks things down and explains them clearly to him, how could he not understand the pros and cons involved?
The candle flame swayed between the two of them, and after a few breaths, the other party spoke with a heavy expression:
"Ma'am, do you have any conclusive evidence?"
Rong Tong took out the last jade slip and placed it on top of the pile of jade slips.
"This is what I have collected about Jin Guangzhen Zhang Jiucheng's household expenses. As a chieftain, his salary is not even a fraction of this expense.
I found out that he had frequent private contacts and financial transactions with several spiritual vein contractors... In other words, it was Jin Guangzhen's unilateral acceptance of bribes. Following his lead, there are two biggest suspects at present, the former chieftain Lang Guanning and Zhenren who have passed away unexpectedly, and the left minister of Sijitang Yuhua Zhenren. "
The other party swallowed unconsciously, "Is there any other evidence?"
"No more," Rong Tong spread his hands barely.
"It was originally a matter that was under investigation, but because of that mortal's interference, I had to explain it in advance."
She pushed all the piles of jade slips in front of the other party, "Although this is the responsibility of the head of the household chieftain, the matter is serious. Today I have revealed everything I know to the Presbyterian Council. The rest is still It’s best to leave it to you.”
