Chapter 176: They've All Gone Mad

Zheng Yue Ru was so excited she couldn't help but poke Liu Zheng's arm.

Sell!

At the current price, sell!

Isn't this the result Liu Zheng has always wanted?

Who would have thought Liu Zheng would just chuckle: "Sorry, everyone, I said it before: Yinzhou Coins will only be issued for three days. The other seven million will be distributed later in the form of monthly salaries and monthly wages to personnel in all sectors of our Yinzhou. My apologies."

After saying this, he walked away without even looking back.

Leaving only a crowd of people, left in a mess in the wind.

Looking at one another.

Who said he was here to rake in money! Who said he was going to take the donations and run!

I believed your nonsense!

Lost money.

Lost a fortune!

"Wait, what did Young Master Liu just say?"

"Yinzhou people!"

"That's right!"

"Hurry and find a Method!"

These wealthy merchants finally couldn't hold back at this moment; their hope that Liu Zheng's side would collapse was clearly no longer realistic. Therefore, they had to keep up with the rhythm.

However.

The shrewdness of the merchants caused them to suffer heavy losses, destined to miss out on this windfall.

The whole city had gone mad.

All the merchants were looking for people from Yinzhou, wanting to buy Yinzhou Coins from their hands at high prices.

"Hahahaha, satisfying!"

Jiang Xuan and Du Biao, leading a group of brothers, were responsible for putting all the gold and silver that had surged again into storage. Who wouldn't be tempted seeing this scene?

"Young Master, hurry and teach me, what is going on here?"

Jiang Xuan asked anxiously.

Zheng Yue Ru also looked at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng chuckled and said: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you; this is market economy. Remember, as long as Yintan City has enough goods to attract them and to manipulate them, they will have to follow our rhythm."

"This is reserves!"

"Credit endorsement!"

The few people listened, confused, as if only Zheng Yue Ru understood.

Liu Zheng didn't offer further explanation.

This time, it could be considered the retail players causing these big market makers to collapse. But in reality, the issuance of Yinzhou Coins itself was based on those goods in Yintan City; Liu Zheng never worried about a collapse.

Jiang Xuan listened for a long time without understanding, but still said excitedly: "Then let's hurry and print more, the more the better, money will roll in!"

Liu Zheng gave a bitter smile and flicked his forehead: "Do you think others are fools? You must always remember one sentence: no matter how big this world is, no matter how provinces devour provinces, or countries devour countries, or whatever. The total economic volume is constant. The total amount of wealth is a fixed number. Do you understand?"

Jiang Xuan, of course, did not understand.

Only Zheng Yue Ru was lost in thought.

Liu Zheng continued with a smile: "To put it in layman's terms, it means our Yintan City doesn't need to care how much gold and silver you possess; we only need to care that we possess more than others, and that is enough!"

This sentence was still very profound.

These few people still couldn't understand.

Liu Zheng didn't offer too much explanation.

Ten million is ten million.

He didn't intend to issue any more.

As for how the merchants coming to do business would buy Yintan City's goods, it was simple: an increase in purchasing power! This was a topic Liu Zheng had assigned to Zheng Yue Ru.

In Liu Zheng's plan, Zheng Yue Ru had to be the one to control the entire economy of his future territory; she had to have a keen sense for currency, purchasing power, and market economy.

"Next, it depends on how much you can grasp. Of course, as long as the market is healthy, we don't need to intervene; letting it develop is enough. Only when the market is unstable do we intervene, understand?"

Liu Zheng tried his best to explain in his own words, then looked at Zheng Yue Ru with a smile.

Although Zheng Yue Ru was quite tired, she had no complaints at all.

A single Yinzhou Coin had triggered a storm in the entire Yinzhou market.

No one had expected that it was precisely this ten million in Yinzhou Coins that caused Horse Carriage after Horse Carriage of gold and silver to be continuously hauled into Yinzhou.

Everyone had gone mad.

"How much is it today?"

"One gold to five silver!"

"What the?"

"Is it that fierce?"

"Who still has some in their hands? Did you go to Zhang Village? Did you go to that countryside place?"

"All went..."

"Small denomination Yinzhou Coins, only a few left, hurry, hurry!"

In just a few days, an industrial chain had appeared within Yinzhou specifically for trading Yinzhou Coins! In any era, there is never a lack of such clever people; as long as there is profit to be made, these people will appear. These people specifically went to the people in all sectors of Yinzhou to collect their Yinzhou Coins with real gold and silver.

Then they waited for the price to rise and sold them at a high price.

One in, one out, earning money out of thin air!

Some people's daily income has directly broken through ten thousand taels!

Who could stand this?

Who could handle this?

Lao Ma has been trembling with fear these past few days.

But while he is trembling, he is also feeling happy.

Because he actually dares not open the door of his home in Yinzhou.

Standing at the door are those wealthy merchants who once came to Yinzhou with him, and the various representatives of the Feudatory Kings; they are all practically kneeling now.

"Lao Ma, are we drinking today?"

"Lao Ma, how about some Immortal Brew?"

"Lao Ma, we can talk things over, right?"

"Can you spare some for me?"

A few days ago, they were still laughing at Lao Ma for being a fool to buy five hundred thousand Yinzhou Coins, but now he has immediately become the most sought-after person.

"Block them, block them for me! Oh my god, it's too terrifying!"

Lao Ma finally managed to return to his residence in Yinzhou and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, go hire a few more guards!"

"Yes, Master!"

A maidservant hurriedly brought hot water to wash Lao Ma's feet and said with a giggle: "Master, you've earned quite a lot these past few days!"

Lao Ma was filled with remorse: "Alas, I was truly muddled a few days ago! To think I was actually attracted by the discounted goods from Magistrate Liu, what a sin, what a sin!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't I have earned a million taels of silver in these few days?"

As he spoke, he felt as if he were in a dream.

People of this era have never seen such things...

Those who do business have always done it honestly; they have never played with these virtual things. So he sighed deeply: "The times have changed. I am old, I can't keep up, I can't keep up..."

The value of Yinzhou Coin is rising every day.

Its purchasing power is also increasing every day.

The people of Yinzhou have therefore obtained considerable income and wealth.

For a time, everyone is singing the praises of Liu Zheng.

With a magistrate like this, who wouldn't like him?

Watching more and more people flock to Yinzhou has directly driven the consumption development of the entire Yinzhou, and in the end, even "housing prices" have risen.

Yinzhou is becoming more and more prosperous.

People all know that this is the merit of Young Master Liu.

"What are you saying? Two gold?"

Less than half a month later.

Chen Ping could not sit still, his face ashen.

Liu Chang looked bitter: "My Lord, my Lord, everyone has gone crazy! Everyone is trading! Everyone is speculating, it can't be stopped!"

"Damn it!"

Chen Ping was furious.

Over here, Liangzhou Prefecture has already issued several government decrees, stating that this Yinzhou Coin is not protected by their Liangzhou Prefecture, and that everyone must not be deceived, and must remain calm, calm, and calm...

However...

How could this make them stay calm!

Watching with their own eyes as real gold and silver from all over the country are hauled to Yinzhou every day, it would be a lie to say Chen Ping isn't jealous.

"What should we do? Think of a Method for me immediately!"

Chen Ping roared.

Liu Chang's eyes rolled: "My Lord, why don't we also come up with a Liangzhou Coin?"

"Useless!"

"That Yinzhou Coin can be used for consumption in Yintan City, but what about us? What about us?"

Even if Chen Ping were stupid, he would know that this Yinzhou Coin is issued based on Yintan City.

And what about their Liangzhou?

Suddenly, he felt very lost.

In such a large Liangzhou, there is not a single industry that can truly be brought out to show off.

And as for the father and son of the Liu Family...

They left Liangzhou in disgrace back then.

And now...

Chen Ping dares to say this: as long as this father and son of the Liu Family want money, they can just print some Yinzhou Coins, and there will be a large crowd of people breaking their heads to send them money!

The gap.

This is the gap.

"Is there still no news from the Crown Prince?"

Regarding this situation, Chen Ping can only pin his hopes on Jinghua.

Stifle it!

He must think of a crime to stifle the Liu father and son from causing such a stir.

"Not yet..."

However, just at this moment.

"The Imperial Edict has arrived!"

Chen Ping was overjoyed: "It's here, hahaha, let's see how much longer you can be smug!"

"How is it?"

Zheng Yue Ru had been very busy these past few days, busy to the point of being overwhelmed.

Liu Zheng would occasionally come over to check, and each time Zheng Yue Ru was calculating accounts. The price of Yinzhou Coin rose every day, and there was even a possibility that the price in the morning and the evening would differ significantly. It fluctuated, following the market and the hearts of the people.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Zheng Yue Ru needed to grasp the pulse of the market and price the goods in Yintan City at any time—after all, although Yinzhou Coin had now become a financial product, Liu Zheng's original intention had always been for it to be a currency used to trade for goods in Yintan City.

"It's alright."

Zheng Yue Ru looked exhausted, but she still could not hide the excitement in her expression: "Brother Liu, this market business is truly profound."

Liu Zheng laughed: "Take your time. You only need to remember that you are the one manipulating the market, the one in control of the big picture. The risk, along with the Yinzhou Coin, has actually been transferred to these people."

"So, we are essentially guaranteed to make a profit without loss?"

Zheng Yue Ru blinked, appearing unexpectedly playful.

Liu Zheng smiled: "That is how it is said, but I certainly don't want my Yinzhou Coin to collapse one day. If that happened, wouldn't all these people kill me?"

"Even if they couldn't kill me, I fear the Imperial Court wouldn't spare me either!"

Zheng Yue Ru was also worried: "Logically speaking, it has been almost a month, yet the Imperial Court has not had any reaction at all..."

Liu Zheng said: "No news is the best news."

"We are not in a hurry to give Yinzhou Coin a legal status."

"As long as it is not illegal, that is actually enough..."

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, Jiang Xuan came running over, panting: "Young Master, Young Master, the Imperial Edict, the Imperial Edict has arrived!"

"What?"

Liu Zheng and Zheng Yue Ru looked at each other, both startled at the same time.

An Imperial Edict arriving at this time...

It could not help but make him feel terrified.
