Chapter 377: The Warmth and Coldness of Human Relationships

Liangzhou and Yinzhou are in chaos at this moment.

People have discovered that a continuous stream of gold, silver, and Yinzhou Coin is staging a scene of intense confrontation here.

Some are going long.

Some are going short.

In a short period, the Yinzhou Coin has been soaring and plummeting by turns.

This roller-coaster sensation makes people mentally stimulated, causing adrenaline to secrete rapidly.

This is a duel between cash and cash.

Those who are shorting naturally want the Yinzhou Coin to collapse; the ill-intentioned wealthy merchants supported by factions such as Zhu Zhen, the Third Prince, and the Prince of Wei are actually eyeing Yintan City.

As for those going long here, they are naturally led by Zheng Yue Ru, people who are optimistic about Liu Zheng and optimistic about the Yinzhou Coin.

This is destined to be a battlefield without gunpowder.

But despite the lack of gunpowder, people seem to be able to smell it, regardless of whether the Yinzhou Coin truly collapses or recovers its senses to continue advancing by leaps and bounds.

In this war, a group of people will finally lose their lives because of it.

The amounts involved are simply too large.

On Zheng Yue Ru's side, she is whipping her horses to find ways to strive for and solicit funds.

And how could the wealthy merchants who are shorting not be gathering the many riches of their backers and pooling funds from the wealthy within their territories to try to short Yintan City?

"Keep pushing, keep pushing for me!"

The Third Prince, Xie Ling, has arrived in Pingzhou, the territory of the Prince of Lu, once again, just to be a little closer to Liangzhou.

Because he believes that this time is absolutely a great opportunity to completely crush Liu Zheng!

Yintan City!

In this world, who doesn't want Yintan City? That is a money-making machine! All those advanced Weaponry and Equipment, Refined Salt, Perfume, Soap, Glider...

Who isn't green with envy?

Xie Ling has even been unable to sleep for two days because of this. He is too excited! As long as he can take Yintan City, he will be able to occupy the absolute initiative in the race for the throne!

"Your Highness... this, five hundred thousand gold has already been dumped in, are you sure you want to continue?"

The Prince of Lu has a bitter expression.

Xie Ling's spirits lifted; he stood up, hugged the Prince of Lu's shoulders forcefully, and shouted: "Prince of Lu... Uncle! That is Yintan City, Yintan City! As long as Yintan City is in hand, does this world still have any opponents for us? Hmm? Dump it! Keep dumping it for me, no matter how much money, just dump it hard!"

"Buy it up, then sell it off!"

"Smash the price down for me!"

"Yes!"

Jinghua.

The Crown Prince, Xie Fang, has also been quite anxious these past few days.

Traitor...

This infamous name is truly too heart-piercing.

For two consecutive days, the entire Longyan has been denouncing Liu Zheng.

Therefore.

He soon gathered his subordinates in his Eastern Palace, and of course, the Prince of Qin, Xie Zhao, was there too.

"Gentlemen, the world is outraged by Governor Liu's current crisis; what should we do?"

Xie Fang asked indifferently.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

Because this question is indeed too sensitive at this time. All along, this Liu Zheng has been on relatively good terms with the Noble Class and the Crown Prince... In ordinary times, if it were a slightly excessive crime, the Crown Prince and Xie Zhao would definitely stand on Liu Zheng's side, arguing until their faces were red with the faction of Zhu Zhen and the Third Prince...

But this time...

This time, it is the crime of treason!

A group of people looked at each other, not daring to speak.

The Prince of Qin, Xie Zhao, sighed: "Your Highness, this time Governor Liu is truly a bit out of control... Why don't we... temporarily sit on the sidelines?"

Others nodded in succession.

Most importantly, the Emperor has already set the tone for this matter.

Incriminate Governor Liu!

It seems that this Governor Liu cannot escape this culpability.

In this situation... if they still insist on protecting this Governor Liu, wouldn't they just be inviting trouble upon themselves?

"Bang!"

Xie Fang's expression changed; he slapped the table and rose in anger, roaring: "Are you trying to place this Prince in a position of being unbenevolent and unrighteous!"

"Governor Liu respects this Prince; how can this Prince stand by and watch him die?"

The group of people were stunned.

This foolish Crown Prince's temper has flared up again...

Someone immediately advised: "Crown Prince, as the heir apparent, you should prioritize the big picture!"

"That's right, Crown Prince, the Emperor is furious this time; the Crown Prince should worry about not being implicated in it!"

"Crown Prince..."

Xie Fang didn't care about any of this, his eyes cold: "This Prince does not want to hear you say so much! This Prince will absolutely not kick Governor Liu while he is down!"

At this moment, his single-minded personality was displayed to the fullest.

The Prince of Qin, Xie Zhao, gave a bitter smile: "Your Highness, since that is the case, then I still believe we can help in a limited way, and that will suffice..."

The Crown Prince's eyes lit up: "How limited?"

Xie Zhao pondered and said: "Our families can pool some gold and silver to send over and provide support, but without creating too much intersection in political aspects..."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince slapped his thigh: "Uncle, this plan is excellent! Quick, quick, quick, go arrange it for this Prince!"

Lively.

Truly lively.

These past two days, Liu Zheng looked at the letters before him, arriving almost one after another, one after another...

Since he arrived in this world, he had never experienced such liveliness.

Some people want to short him...

Some people want to go long.

Some are playing tricks, some are offering support.

What made him somewhat gratified was that the Crown Prince Xie Fang, whom he had always looked down upon before, had actually performed in a way that surprised him greatly this time...

As for Xie Ling, however, the mask had already been torn off.

It seems...

If he is to have the ability in the future to influence this Bitter Remonstrance for the throne, he still prefers someone with Xie Fang's personality. Straightforward, without too much deceit.

"What is the Young Master thinking about?"

The fragrant Shen Manqing brought a cup of tea to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's myriad thoughts were startled awake, and he chuckled: "I am thinking about these common masses, thinking about these monsters and demons, and thinking about where the shortcomings in our existence lie regarding this Yinzhou Coin volatility."

Shen Manqing was stunned: "Didn't the Young Master say that the Yinzhou Coin would definitely recover? Oh my, Manqing also listened to the Young Master and bought one thousand gold worth!"

Liu Zheng laughed heartily, pulled Shen Manqing into his arms, took a deep breath of the scent in her hair, and smiled faintly: "Recovery is not the goal; the goal is to try our best to avoid any possibility of accidents occurring."

Shen Manqing listened, confused, and asked curiously: "How to avoid them?"

How to avoid them?

This was indeed the question Liu Zheng had been pondering for the past few days.

These past few days, the rise and fall of the Yinzhou Coin had sounded an alarm for Liu Zheng.

Why?

Because he felt that although all of this was happening naturally and was a form of free market behavior, there was no doubt that these things should have traces that could be followed!

He must find a Method to grasp the tracks of this financial system; only in this way could he ensure everything was foolproof—as much as possible.

But.

How to grasp it?

He had been thinking about it.

Just then, a term popped into his mind.

Digitization!

That's right!

Digitization!

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng suddenly became excited: "Quick, quick, quick, let's go find Pei Yanran!"

"Ah?"

Shen Manqing was pulled along by Liu Zheng, looking completely bewildered.
