Chapter 516: With Him There, the Heavens Cannot Collapse

Hanlin Academy.

Inner Court.

At this moment.

A group of people sat there, looking at the pile of letters in their hands, lost in deep thought.

These people only felt a massive headache at this time.

Does this Prefect Liu feel that he cannot go on living if he doesn't give them some difficult problems every day?

Within this short period of time.

First it was the Pension, then the Trade Union, and now the Yinzhou Coin is sweeping the entire country.

Where had these people in the Inner Court of the Hanlin Academy ever seen such things before?

The old Emperor Xie Tianyao asked them to analyze...

The appearance of this Pension was already astonishing, and they could barely manage to analyze it. But this Trade Union, the Yinzhou Coin, and whatever this finance is—these gray-haired old men were simply completely clueless!

But they knew.

This time, Xie Ling was playing for real.

Xie Ling and Prefect Liu were locked in a life-or-death struggle this time.

"Gentlemen, who do you think will win or lose in this situation?"

Chen Qian, a Grand Academician of the Inner Court of the Hanlin Academy, tapped the tabletop with his finger and asked.

"This..."

"My Lord..."

The group of people looked at each other.

They were all confidants of the old Emperor and basically did not belong to any faction in the current Longyan Dynasty.

Therefore.

From their perspective.

This matter would be viewed relatively objectively.

One of them smiled bitterly: "My Lord, although this Prefect Liu also belongs to our Hanlin Academy, I still do not hold much hope for him..."

"Indeed, indeed..."

"The Third Prince is fighting a desperate battle this time; it is said he has gathered half the wealth of Longyan, this..."

The others also shook their heads repeatedly.

With so much gold and silver, who could withstand it?

Chen Qian then breathed a sigh of relief: "If Prefect Liu loses this time, it will save the Emperor quite a bit of trouble."

The others nodded in agreement.

That is certainly true. If Prefect Liu loses and Xie Ling wins, then Prefect Liu will undoubtedly die this time!

If he dies, Xie Tianyao will have peace of mind.

The entire Longyan will also have peace of mind.

In any case, no matter how they fight, it is just Xie Ling and the Crown Prince—although if Xie Ling wins, he will inevitably occupy a huge initiative and advantage in this struggle for the succession!

Everything.

Would also be peaceful.

"Hahahaha, but I believe this Pension system is indeed somewhat advanced and could be suggested to the Emperor..."

"The Trade Union is still acceptable..."

"This 'Natural Inheritance Law' of Liangzhou..."

The group of people felt their moods lighten, and they discussed incessantly, everyone talking at once.

Also in Jinghua.

In a certain large mansion.

A group of Jinghua bigwigs were gathered at this time.

"Preposterous, absolutely preposterous! The Third Prince is truly..."

"He wants to completely crush this Yinzhou Coin; what are we to do?"

"Yes, colleagues, a secret letter from Grand Eunuch Zhou has already arrived, telling us we must think of a Method."

"Grand Eunuch Zhou? Could it be that he is conveying the Emperor's will?"

"This... who knows?"

There were those who supported Xie Ling in crushing Yintan City, and naturally, there were those who did not want Yintan City to fall. The reason was none other than the fact that Yintan City had developed extremely rapidly over the past few years. Consequently, more and more people had become inextricably linked with this Yinzhou Coin.

Some held the currency.

Some were investing.

Some were managing wealth.

Some were gambling.

This myth of getting rich quick in the Longyan Dynasty had already dragged more and more people into it, and naturally, there was no shortage of these Jinghua bigwigs among them.

At this moment.

Gathered here were not only merchants but also some officials, as well as representatives sent by officials.

Wherever there is officialdom, there is corruption.

The Longyan Dynasty had been exhausted for so long that corruption from top to bottom had become a case of those below following the example of those above, forming a complex and intricate chain of interests. Previously, they had to guard against investigations by anti-corruption departments. However, the appearance of the Yinzhou Coin allowed them to discover a new path.

Use the Yinzhou Coin!

This Decentralization currency can actually achieve the goal of money laundering!

It is astonishing!

It is for this reason that more and more big shots are rushing in without hesitation, exchanging their cartloads of gold and silver of unknown origin for Yinzhou Coin—it is stable enough, after all, and it even appreciates; who wouldn't like that?

Under such circumstances.

The Third Prince actually wants to drive down the price of Yinzhou Coin?

Who would be willing to accept that?

At this moment, among this group of people, a person wearing a bamboo hat spoke up.

As soon as he spoke, the noisy sounds of the entire room instantly vanished.

Because everyone knew this person's identity... and who he represented behind him.

This person's voice was quite hoarse, and he said indifferently, "Gentlemen, I don't think anyone wants to lose the money in their own pockets, right?"

The group of people hurriedly echoed him.

That is true, that is true.

Who doesn't like money?

This person said indifferently, "Immediately send a message by carrier pigeon to notify the masters behind all of you..."

"In the name of pitying the people of Liangzhou, submit a joint petition to recognize the legal currency status of Yinzhou Coin within your respective territories!"

"What?"

The group of people gasped in succession.

Do they really want to play for such high stakes?

"Hmm, tomorrow, I want a result."

After saying this, the man in the bamboo hat stood up and turned to leave.

Damn!

The people present did not even have time to discuss it; they turned and ran.

Longyan.

Something big is about to happen!

Yinzhou.

Yintan City.

Qingyang Shuo and Zheng Yueru no longer had time to play chess or chat and discuss things today.

The two of them listened to the news reported back by one Scout after another.

Then they immediately issued corresponding orders.

"Pull!"

"Pull it to three gold, buy back twenty thousand lots first, then watch the market! If it is higher than four gold, pause for a moment. If it exceeds four and a half gold, dump! If it hasn't reached four gold, keep pulling!"

"Yes!"

"Dump thirty thousand lots!"

This group of people in Yintan City were busy all day long.

This was already the second day the Yinzhou Coin market had encountered an impact. Yintan City could no longer sit and wait for death.

All cash was brought out.

Play!

In this war without gunpowder, the weapons and cannons were gold and silver!

For a time.

Throughout Yinzhou City, anyone could see it. Cart after cart of gold and silver, cart after cart of Yinzhou Coin.

Those frantic people.

That agitated atmosphere.

Coming and going.

This was a game of money.

This was also a historic moment where human nature fluctuated and was put to the test.

Because compared to other times.

It was very obvious that when this financial storm struck, the people of the entire Liangzhou appeared relatively calm.

Yes.

Except for those investors, all the remaining people who held the currency, including those whose wages and benefits were paid in Yinzhou Coin, actually rarely participated in it at this time.

This was what shocked the entire Longyan.

It seemed that as long as the Prefect Liu was in Liangzhou.

The mood of the masses would always remain stable.

Their trust, and even faith, in Prefect Liu and Young Master Liu was almost blind.

They went to work when they should.

They labored when they should.

They hoed the fields when they should.

As for this Yinzhou Coin, with its ups and downs, wasn't that normal?

Heaven wants to rain, a mother wants to remarry...

With Prefect Liu here.

The sky.

Will not collapse.
