Winter of the Sixth Year of Baijia
No one thought that the war between Taiping Road and Hanoi County would last for three years. It is now the sixth winter of Baijia. Isn't it only three years since the third winter of Baijia when the war started?
At the beginning, most people supported a quick victory and felt that the war would be over in a short time.
But as I continued to fight, three years passed.
"Gentlemen, it has been three years. This battle has been going on for three years. Taiping Road is finally about to be unable to endure it any longer!" Gongzi Si said with deep feeling.
At the beginning, although the strategy of protracted war was set, the protracted war that was considered at that time was only for a year and a half. It was estimated that Taipingdao would not be able to sustain it.
Who would have thought that Taipingdao would be so resilient?
It is clear that the main forces are fighting each other, and they cannot continue to work and earn money. Industrial income has dropped sharply, and the five counties cannot talk about continued development. Even in the subsequent issuance of bonds, most of them have been invested in the military, and living standards have suddenly dropped. At this time, you can still persist. Is this the power of faith?
Anyway, Young Master Si has really learned a lot.
"I originally thought that after the living standards dropped and benefits were reduced, those Taiping Dao sects would immediately fall apart. However, I never expected that difficulties would sharpen the Taiping Dao, and many talented young people would frequently appear in the Taiping Dao."
"Coupled with the donations from other Taoists, Taiping Tao has survived!"
Pang Juan nodded and said: "The resilience is indeed very strong. In this aspect, we are not as good as Taiping Dao."
"We in Hanoi County rely on land and money, to be precise, we rely on money. If you have money, you will have fighting power. As for ideals and other things, to be honest, this is a bit difficult. Especially those quasi-xuan-level Taoist soldiers, who have always been Taoist The reason why troops are stuck here is because of ideals and beliefs.”
"Taiping Dao across the way has already trained Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. They have at least two thousand Yellow Angels through this war."
"Master once said that Huang-level Taoist soldiers can be trained through money and materials, but Xuan-level Taoist soldiers must have their own beliefs. There are many such beliefs, and the most common one is to protect one's own country."
"These quasi-xuan-level Taoist soldiers all know that in their eyes, we are here just for fun. They don't think that they are the main family of the Wei family. In their view, one day in the future, Master, after you finish your training, , patted their butts and left, but they and their families still have to stay here."
"This idea has caused many Xuan-level Taoist soldiers to always be worried deep in their hearts. They don't know when you will leave, Master. This is also the result of the rumors spread by the Taiping Dao opposite. We have created a lot of rumors about Taiping Dao, and Taiping Dao has also responded. Come and start rumors about us."
"Gu has already said that when Gu's experience is over in the future, he will take them out of the Chao Kingdom and return to Wei Clan. As long as they are willing to return to Wei Clan with Gu, they will be Gu's team and all Gu's. How could such a loyal minister give up on them?" At this point, Young Master Si shook his head feebly.
Young Master Si has refuted this rumor more than once.
Gongzi Si thinks, isn’t this a very simple truth?
When his experience is over, as long as the Dao soldiers and people of Hanoi County are willing to continue to follow him, they will find a way to take them with him through most of the world and return to the Wei family.
What is this called?
This is called self-presentation!
This is called publicizing the Wei family's young master and Wei family's loyal ministers in front of the whole world!
Who would refuse such a show?
Even if the elders of the Wei family are just trying to sell iron, they will also use all kinds of information to contact various princes and make arrangements in advance as much as possible along the way. Maybe they can take the main road back when the time comes.
Millions of soldiers and civilians followed Wei's son Si across half of the world. What a great topic!
If this thing comes to pass, Young Master Si's reputation will immediately rise to an extremely high level!
Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years later, this will be an epic story that will go down in history and be sung by thousands of people!
However, many people just don’t understand such an obvious truth.
The rumors about Taiping Road kept saying that it was too far, there were too many monsters and ghosts on the road, and Mr. Si was not the head of the Wei family, so how could he be able to bring millions of soldiers and civilians back to the Wei family?
At most, you can only bring a few Taoist soldiers, but you can't do more.
The rumor also said: Maybe Gongzi Si himself wanted to bring them all, but he couldn't do it! How many monsters and monsters are there in most of the world? There are countless demon kings and great demons, and even demon gods may be encountered. Even if Mr. Si really takes them all, how far can he go in one day? Thirty miles or fifty miles?
Chao Kingdom is already the smallest vassal state, but Chao Kingdom also has a radius of five thousand miles. It takes one hundred and eighty days to leave Chaohe River, let alone half of the world? Will it take decades to travel?
By the time they arrived in Wei State, many people would have died of old age.
What's the point?
Even Gongzi Si felt that some of these rumors were not created by Taiping Dao at all. Only people who knew the nobles and the Wei family very well could fabricate similar rumors: these are probably Zhao's shirtless children or others. What a big nobleman made up, it’s really hateful!
Li Kui had mixed feelings: "Today's Taipingdao has indeed reached a limit. However, now they are also faced with a choice and a mistake. We will be the unlucky ones next. We must prepare for the worst, so..."
…
Taiping Taoist, Taiping Taoist, two younger brothers, and Sun En, four people gathered together.
"Brother, it makes sense to build a country through adversity. In the past, there were always some believers who were blindly optimistic. Now they have grown a lot."
Taiping Taoist shook his head: "Hey, now I am not so optimistic, but I am starting to be pessimistic again. I am still immature and less knowledgeable. Li Sheng once said, misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies. Fu, they are still too young."
"Brother, many of our scumbags have just left. Although there are fewer people, we are more united. Huang Tian's will is getting stronger."
"However, our development speed has indeed been slowed down. Three years ago we had a population of 700,000, and now we have only 800,000, but the opposite side has grown from 1.4 million to 1.8 million. The Han Dynasty next door Hexi County, where Mr. Shi is located, has a population of two million."
Some of these populations were absorbed from the remaining sixteen counties, and some were simply savages purchased from Wu and Xu through their respective connections.
The business of human trade has never been discontinued.
Especially some big multinational businessmen, the savages sell them for hundreds of thousands.
"Brother, the first phase of Taiping County Development Bonds we issued is due tomorrow. How are we going to repay it? If we don't repay it, it will be difficult to sell this year's development bonds."
Zhang Jiao shook his head: "Where did the money come from? It's not a small amount, and it can't be collected even with the help of fellow Taoists. It's not that much, and it still can't be paid."
"However, we have to pay it back. If we don't pay it back, we won't be able to borrow money this year. If we can't borrow money, what will the congregants eat and drink? Where will the money come from for the congregants to practice? Once there is no money, what will happen next? There will be no war."
"You even have to cede land and pay compensation. Once you do this, the confidence of the believers will really be shaken."
Having said this, Taiping Taoist waved his hand, and thirty jade slips appeared in front of him: "These thirty jade slips each record a technique that is simplified from the Taiping Scripture. In addition, I will prepare the Heavenly Book and prepare it for others to understand once."
"This time, let those Taoists who believe in us and support us make a fortune."
Hearing this, Sun En shook his head: "Now the Taipingdao bonds on the market have dropped to 10,000 yuan. Many people don't want interest and just want to sell them quickly. How about we buy a batch of bonds at the price of 10,000 yuan?" Bar."
"We will wait until we have a batch of low-priced bonds before letting the news out. By then, there will definitely be people buying bonds frantically, just to collect 10 billion so that they can read the Book of Heaven."
"Especially since tomorrow is the day for bond exchange. The bond exchange only starts tomorrow, and it can be done at any time next. I will let people spread some rumors, such as we want to default on the debt, but we are not willing to work hard or give the heavenly book. Spread more rumors, true or false."
"As a result, our bond prices will definitely fall further, maybe to the point of a thousand yuan."
"At that time, we can purchase bonds with a face value of 10 billion at a price of 1,000 yuan, and it will only cost one billion yuan."
"And when the news spreads, I wouldn't be surprised if those people clamored for 30,000 or even 50,000 yuan for the chance to comprehend the Heavenly Book!"
"At that time, bonds with a face value of 10 billion can easily be sold for 30 billion or even 50 billion. When we acquired it, we actually only spent one billion. One billion turned into three billion in the blink of an eye. Fifty billion, and we will be rich again!"
In this era, there are no rules prohibiting insider trading.
Everyone is still in a very simple stage.
Listening to Sun En's thoughts, the eyes of the second and third brothers bulged out: It has to be a bad guy like you! It has to be you!
The Taiping Taoist was a little hesitant. Is this really a good idea?
"Brother, if you really have confidence in us, or if you really grit your teeth and support us, these bonds will not be sold! Only speculators, only those who lack confidence, will sell them at low prices."
"Brother, we don't mean to trick people. We are just spreading some false news. Moreover, even if we don't spread false news, the young master Si opposite will definitely spread false news!"
The Taiping Taoist thought for a while: "No, we can't do this fake news thing no matter what!"
"In the short term, this kind of thing is indeed very profitable, and profits of tens of billions of dollars seem to be just around the corner. However, in the long term, this will damage the credibility of our Taiping Dao!"
"I still value credibility more!"
"Let's do this. Tomorrow is the time to start paying. Let's not express our position, refuse or make any promises. We will give everyone an explanation in three days. Other than that, we won't say anything."
"As for false news and rumors, we don't need to spread them ourselves!"
"We don't care about other people spreading rumors. Let's tell the outside world that if we are given three days, we will definitely give everyone an explanation!"
"As for you, the most you can do is acquire it privately."
"Besides, the price of one thousand yuan is really too low."
"If we purchase it privately, let's set the price at five thousand, and we can't let the other party pay too much."
"Remember, within three days you can only make purchases secretly, and you must not create false news."
Anyway, Gongzisi will definitely use this to attack Taipingdao, and will definitely spread a lot of false news.
…
The rumors were like the wind, quickly spreading throughout Yancheng, and then throughout the entire Chao Kingdom!
Taipingdao still hasn’t paid the money, and I don’t want to pay it back!
Taipingdao never thought about paying back the money!
Taiping Taoists said they were willing to come up with simplified exercises, but they were just lying!
The Taiping Taoist was dead. He died in the war a long time ago. However, the funeral was kept secret. His body was refined into a treasure. Every time there was a meeting, it was the Digong General who controlled his body. The Taiping Taoist people The ideal has long been over, and died together with the death of Taiping Taoist!
The Taiping Taoist has run away!
The three Taiping brothers have all run away!
The three Taiping brothers took everyone's hard-earned money and went to Chu State to enjoy the blessings!
Jiang Hua was speechless listening to everyone's rumors.
What is this and what?
Anyone with a bit of discernment knows that a mere 100 billion dollars is really difficult for a Taiping Taoist who holds a spiritual treasure in his hand?
Is it really a huge amount of money for a quasi-real person who can break through and become an innate immortal at any time?
However, the amazing thing is that no one came forward to refute the rumors.
As a result, Jiang Hua witnessed the road of endless ups and downs.
Yancheng Bond Exchange is a place specializing in trading various bonds.
Taiping County Development Bonds have a minimum face value of 10,000 yuan, a five-year term, and an annual interest rate of 10 points. Under normal circumstances, the price of a bond always hovers between 15,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan.
Yesterday, the price of Taipingdao bonds was still 16,000 yuan. This morning, someone posted a price of 12,000 yuan. At first, there were still people buying it, but not long after, the price plummeted. Now it has It turned into 5,000 yuan. It seemed that a big family was pocketing the money, but how much money could this big family have?
When this big player stops taking the bottom, prices may continue to plummet.
Development bonds in other counties also began to fall.
Although the decline was not as drastic as in Taiping County, it still fell by about 10%.
This drop is a bit exaggerated.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua said to Lu Buwei on the side: "After a while, we will set a lower limit and then a higher limit. Whether it goes down or up, a limit must be set every day. Like the current bond exchange, just It’s very irrational. Most people are overwhelmed by their emotions and have no limits, so they just keep falling. This is very bad and not conducive to long-term development!”
