Emperor Zhou was given the title of king in the autumn. Yancheng began to arrange relevant etiquette and procedures from the next day. Finally, he calculated with his fingers that the auspicious day to be crowned king was two months later.
Two months later, two months later, it is not a simple matter to declare justice anyway. In the past two months, many processes have been simplified.
In front of Boyong, there are hundreds of newspapers in dozens of categories. This is what Boyong has to do every day.
One of the most important responsibilities of today's envoys is to collect intelligence about the country. This is the acquiescence of all countries. Therefore, generally speaking, as long as the messenger does not go too far, everyone will turn a blind eye. Because this is what envoys from their own country do when they go to other countries.
If you are harsh on the envoys of other countries today, they will come back with revenge tomorrow.
In today's era, gathering intelligence is not like the past, where you first put people in place, then help your own people to be in high positions, and then leak the intelligence.
This approach no longer works, because transcendence has truly become a reality and has entered thousands of households and entered daily life.
In the past, the extraordinary stood high.
How can there be so many extraordinary people serving ordinary people, let alone developing various low-cost and popular communication instruments.
Nowadays, not only communication instruments can be seen everywhere, but other extraordinary contracts are also very common.
The most common extraordinary contract is that we signed this contract under the witness of someone. Both parties must strictly abide by the content of the contract and act in accordance with the contract.
As for the official, once everyone reaches a certain level, they will sign a large number of extraordinary contracts.
There are many extraordinary contracts to prevent secrets from being leaked, and there are also many contracts to detect whether a certain secret has been leaked.
Sometimes, for special secrets, in addition to the original confidentiality contract, additional confidentiality contracts must be signed.
For example, Yancheng has a famous potato contract.
Using a special secret method on potatoes, as long as there is no problem with the potatoes, it means that the secret has not been leaked, and it means that there are still the same number of people who know the secret. Once something goes wrong with the potatoes, the secret is out. Then start to follow the clues. For example, this potato was the witness of the contract between these thirty people, so start the investigation from these thirty people.
The scope of the investigation is so small and it has just been leaked. Most of the time, this is enough to ensure that we can find out who leaked the secret.
Similar confidentiality contracts were only done in Yancheng at the beginning.
Later, when envoys from various countries saw it, they all said how could such a good thing be spread only in Yancheng? Copied! This is copied!
Then, various countries began to develop various confidentiality contracts.
With the continuous introduction of various confidentiality contracts, there are fewer and fewer secrets leaked by secrets. It may even be that as soon as the front foot leaks, the back foot is sensed and then captured.
Therefore, nowadays, everyone reads the news, looks for data, and then draws the key information with a pen, and finally speculates on the enemy's intelligence.
This kind of speculation is often correct in the general direction. Moreover, many details are also true.
So, slowly, Boyong developed the habit of getting up every day to read newspapers and collect intelligence.
Today, Boyong once again sat in the pavilion, basking in the sun, drinking spiritual spring, and reading the newspaper.
First of all, what Boyong saw was the news that Jiang Hua was about to be crowned Duke, and then he took a pen and drew it down heavily. This is the key point: "Yan Jun is finally going to be declared Duke. Maybe soon, I will use the word Yan Jun." You can’t say it casually, because at that time, there will be forbidden laws blessing this name, and whoever shouts this name casually, his thoughts will be actively exposed to Lord Yan."
Thinking of this, Boyong thought of Xia Jie who developed this spell. You are such a fucking genius!
It is said that Xia Jie created this spell in order to prevent others from speaking ill of him. Later, no one dared to discuss bad things about Xia Jie. When he mentioned Xia Jie, they all used the sun to refer to him. on his behalf.
However, this is just a folk legend, and Boyong is too lazy to explore the truth. Anyway, it has always been the rule of Zhuxia that losers will not die well.
Later, Boyong began to analyze the possible impact of this news spreading: Emperor Zhou will be crowned king and proclaimed duke, and the whole world will accelerate into the next era. The three clans of Han, Zhao, Wei and Zhi will definitely have a decisive battle before the end of the year. The winner will lead the entire Jin Kingdom. What impact will a complete and powerful Jin Kingdom have on the general trend of the world?
Thinking of this, Boyong felt a sense of urgency: the war between Dachu and Wu must end before the end of the year, and Dachu must win. Otherwise, as soon as the civil war in Jin is over, troops may be sent to intervene in the civil war.
As for saying that the Jin State will not do this, Boyong is sure and affirmative that the Jin State will definitely do this!
However, Boyong was just the envoy of Chu State in Yancheng, so Boyong thought for a moment and skipped this important topic. His main task was to study the affairs of Yancheng.
After marking it, Boyong started to read the next newspaper. This newspaper was about another thing: the bond exchange.
This newspaper, the official newspaper of the bond exchange, tells the overall bond trends, price fluctuations, and the opinions of certain professionals.
Today, the newspaper published a conversation between the director of the bond exchange, Lu Buwei, and the interviewer. The original words were published directly, and Boyong immediately became serious.
This is the first time Lu Buwei has spoken out in a newspaper in a long time. Is the situation going to be different?
"Sir, what do you think of today's bond exchange?"
Lu: "Most traders all over the world are in a state of panic now. This panic is difficult to eliminate in a short time and difficult to eliminate. After all, most of the time, it is meaningless to be reasonable."
"So sir, when do you think this panic will end?"
“It may take several years, ten years, or months. After all, this involves traders all over the world, so I can’t tell.”
"However, last night, Emperor Zhou issued an imperial edict, declaring that he would be deposed as king and resign as the leader of the world. Maybe not long after, the Jin Kingdom will be unified again. By that time, maybe the world will enter the next stage. Maybe , then the panic will change."
"Sir, where do you think this panic comes from?"
"This panic is partly man-made and partly accidental."
"Man-made? Sir, what you mean is that this disaster was deliberately caused by someone?"
"You must be precise when speaking. If there is no evidence, don't talk casually. You can only say that it may be related to certain people."
When he saw this, Boyong suddenly felt uneasy and blinked subconsciously, as if he was going to be in bad luck.
Shaking his head, Boyong continued to read.
"You see, this disaster can be roughly divided into three stages."
"The first stage is when Wu Hou dies and Wu's war bonds plummet."
"The second stage is when war bonds all over the world fall together."
"The third stage is when the princes of various countries violently sell the bonds on hand from the bond exchange, so that in a short period of time, more is sold and less is purchased, which finally triggers panic among traders all over the world."
"There were actually many accidents here. This is from an ex-ante perspective. At the time of the incident, perhaps no one could have imagined that this disaster would occur. But in hindsight, it was inevitable. This is actually how contemporary people look at history and there is always history. In the fog, when future generations look at history, they only think that everything is clear, and that contemporary people are all fools, unable to see clearly the bright general trend, just like blind people."
"Actually, it's not that the current generation is stupid, nor is it that all the current generation are blind, it's that there are so many possibilities before the current generation that they can't even estimate them, and they can't even calculate all the variables."
"At present, we can only say that the drop in the price of Wu's war bonds in the first stage was intentional by some people."
"From the first stage to the second stage, some people did it intentionally!"
"As for the second to third stages, considering the identities of certain people and their familiarity with the general trend of the world, they can predict such a future."
"In a sense, some people may have anticipated the changes in the third phase during the first phase and were already prepared."
"It turns out that according to the intelligence we collected, some people may have made at least 80 trillion yuan in wealth during this disaster!"
When he saw this, Boyong had already guessed what Lu Buwei would say next.
"Ah, you thief, you and I are at odds with each other!"
"I made a little bit, but it's not as much as 80 trillion, at most 60 trillion!"
"What's more, can the 60 trillion I earn shake the entire bond exchange?"
What nonsense!
"Countries have made at least hundreds of billions from war bonds. I am just the leader. How can I become the mastermind behind it?"
"Also, with this super disaster and super panic, countries are obviously withdrawing huge amounts of funds from bond exchanges, triggering a collapse-style panic. How come it's all within my expectations? "
"If I were so smart, if I had such foresight, how could I still be a messenger here? I would have been above the court and become a real high-level person, planning the entire world!"
"Slander, he is slandering me!"
At this moment, Boyong finally began to panic.
This is a big black pot, and my little arms and legs can’t handle it!
As far as Boyong knows, before this disaster occurred, the total value of all bonds on the bond exchange had reached more than 300 trillion. But now, there are only more than 100 trillion left, at least 200 billion in wealth. Boyong feels that once he carries such a big blame, he will have no future in this life.
Unjustly accused!
What a huge injustice!
Boyong decided to immediately activate the relationship with Chu State and make more different voices come out. No matter what, he cannot take the blame!
