Ji Ping'an calmed down his emotions, picked up the letter again, and carefully looked at the contents with the help of weak candlelight.

The contents of the letter can be said to be state-level secrets. This letter must not be leaked, otherwise he will only die.

The content mentioned above is directly related to today's new Internet.

It turns out that the current king is the bastard son of the concubine whom the old king only doted on. He is not the eldest son, nor is he a legitimate prince.

After the death of the old king, the throne was passed directly to him. Since he was not the prince in the court, he naturally encountered certain obstacles.

The new king is by no means a kind person. He knows that the civil and military ministers above the court have second thoughts about him. This makes the court look stable on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes.

In order to stabilize his situation, after the new king succeeded to the throne, he implemented a series of New Deal reforms.

This reform directly spread from the government to the people of Yun Kingdom, the most important of which was the casting of new coins.

Because today's Yun State is facing many very serious problems.

In order to change the current economic situation, the new king ordered people to forge copper coins that were originally one cent into ten coins.

In a sense, this can reduce the expenditure of Yun State and play a certain role in promoting the development of Yun State.

At the same time, the negative impact it brings is also great, because the face value of the currency increases, and it also creates a certain amount of circulation pressure.

This caused goods to expand and prices to rise all the way up and down the Yun Kingdom.

The price of food has made many people prohibitive, which is the basis for people's survival.

Ordinary people may lose their money if they want to buy food now, which makes the current situation even more unstable.

The domestic conflicts in the Yun Kingdom are just one of them.

What Ji Ping'an is more concerned about is that the external conflicts that Yun State is currently facing will cause the most fatal blow to them.

After the new king came to power, he made good friends with Jiang Guo, one of the Nine Kingdoms.

The trade between the two countries is naturally very prosperous, and the cotton from Yun State has always been of high quality and low price.

Jiang State purchased a large amount of cotton from Yun State, causing the price of domestic cotton in Yun State to skyrocket. Because of this, Britain gained a large amount of silver reserves.

The people in the country have begun to become miserable. The large-scale export of cotton has led to a continuous reduction in the demand for domestic cotton in the Yun Kingdom. Naturally, the price of cotton has also been rising.

Suddenly, even the price of cotton has become so high that ordinary people are prohibitive.

However, Yun State's finances received a large amount of transaction funds in a short period of time, and the national treasury was instantly filled, with all income exceeding five times that of previous years.

Judging from the current situation, the situation in Yun State has become more and more stable, and the country's economy has become more prosperous, which naturally makes the national treasury full.

Judging from various signs, Yunguo's development is better than it appears, and it has stronger financial support.

This also makes the new king have a certain tendency in many decisions.

If they have money, they will be fearless and can do whatever they want.

Especially now the new king needs to urgently prove himself and prove that he is qualified for his current position.

After the treasury was filled, he began to make next plans.

This step of the plan is the most troublesome for Ji Ping An, and it is also the most difficult for Ji Ping An to resolve now.

This is the Yun State and the Jiang State, joining forces to attack the Wei State.

Yun State and Jiang State have a very good relationship because of their trade exchanges, and they naturally have the same opinions on some things.

Yun Guo's Xin Wang wanted to prove himself, so he wanted to expand his territory, so he would naturally choose a weak country to attack.

They are also very happy to expand the territory of Jiang State because of its strong strength.

The kings of the two countries hit it off immediately, and they immediately finalized a plan to attack Wei.

Originally, the nine countries developed peacefully, but occasionally there would be some local battles, which did not affect the security of the overall environment.

However, Yun and Jiang joined forces to attack Wei. This incident made the originally harmonious and stable border situation begin to become turbulent.

Such a turbulent situation will naturally have a great impact on them.

Maybe to outsiders, the strength of Yun State and Jiang State can completely solve the problem, just Weiguo.

But those who are really discerning have long seen that the Yun State is only strong on the outside but powerful on the outside. It looks strong on the surface, but in fact if it is really consumed in battles, it is very likely that its national power will be depleted.

Once the national power is depleted, not only will it be impossible to attack Xiawei State, but it will also give the Jiang State, which is now very friendly, an opportunity.

By that time, Jiang State will most likely annex Yun State and Wei State together.

"How can these guys ask me to find a way to help them solve their problems? This is simply killing me."

Ji Ping'an read the contents of the letter again and couldn't help but shake his head.

It has to be said that these problems are indeed difficult to resolve. The new man is too motivated to move forward. He is now eager for success and wants to prove himself. The more he does this, the more he must make some achievements for himself.

But often things that are rushed will only lead to the ending in the opposite direction.

Yun State is now strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Constant wars consume a lot of money, which will naturally lead to more problems.

If the problem of price inflation is not resolved, the situation will definitely become more anxious, and it will only make the situation worse.

After Ji Ping'an was silent for a long time, he took a pen and paper and prepared to write out his response plan.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he had no way to start.

What the new king is doing now, in a sense, is seeking death.

Ji Ping'an guessed that the new king must be gambling. What he was betting on was to successfully capture the Wei Kingdom together with the Jiang Kingdom before the entire Yun Kingdom could no longer hold on.

In this way, he has naturally made thousands of years of achievements in opening up territory for the Yun Kingdom. No one in the thatched cottage will dare to continue to obey him in front of him.

"We have to find a compromise. We can't completely expose ourselves. It's best to find a way to guide those guys to come up with the right solution."

Ji Ping'an held a pen and paper in his hand and began to fall into deep thought. He was still worried about the questions that the big shots would test him.

If you want to get rid of this problem, the best solution is to choose a compromise and let the other party come up with a real solution, but this is also the most difficult.

Because he has to do this without revealing any flaws. Once the flaws are revealed and others see the flaw, it will naturally bring disaster to him.

When Ji Ping'an thought of this, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
