The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 49
Winter is the off-season for foreign trade. Since Yang Lu's interview work is coming to an end, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has no problems that need to be dealt with by Yang Lu and Li Qingning in person for a whole day.

Since the door was kicked to pieces by Butler Zhou, Li Qingning's office could not be used for the time being. On a snowy night, after all, it was most comfortable to sit around the fireplace in the reception room of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to keep warm.

Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has laid a civilian constant temperature array, the heating effect of this type of civilian array is not ideal.In the cultivation world of Kyushu, aura is the most precious resource in the world. According to the rules established by the various sects, the amount of aura used by civilians in each region has an upper limit. The general principle is to distribute according to the total output of aura in the local world.

As for how to calculate the "amount of spiritual energy produced by heaven and earth", in fact, there is no quantitative conclusion in the cultivation world.

However, according to the second law of comprehension proposed by senior economist Bo Nanke before his death—the law of conservation of spiritual energy, the total annual output of spiritual energy in the world is a fixed number. If the consumption of spiritual energy in a certain place exceeds the output, the local The aura will become thinner.

According to this theory, the concentration of aura in the cultivation world of Kyushu today is lower than that in the ancient and middle ancient times, because there are too many practitioners and fairy formations.

Sea Cliff City has a large population, and compared to those sparsely populated famous mountains and rivers, the supply of spiritual energy is even tighter.Within the sphere of influence of the Sea Cliff System, not only is it a very serious crime to use too much aura, but even the operating efficiency of all civilian immortal formations must be deliberately lowered to maintain the sustainable use of local aura.

Not only that, if the Haiya faction finds that the concentration of aura in Haiya City has dropped significantly, so that it affects the combat effectiveness of the Haiya faction's cultivators, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion will issue an "Emergency Restriction Order of Civilian Reiki" to temporarily suspend the use of aura in the city. The operation of the fairy array will continue until the concentration of spiritual energy in Haiya City returns to normal.

After the promulgation of the "Civil Aura Emergency Restriction Order", not only all the constant temperature fairy arrays will be forcibly closed, but even the aura street lamps used for lighting will be completely extinguished, which will bring great inconvenience to the night life of Haiya City residents. Therefore, "Civil Aura Emergency The entry into force of the "Restraining Order" has also been dubbed by the residents of Haiya City as "clogging the brakes and restricting gas".

Although the Qingning chamber of commerce's civilian constant temperature fairy array is only a shrunken version, it is already a symbol of Li Qingning's status. Many ordinary chambers of commerce and tea houses and restaurants with insufficient background cannot even apply for construction permits for this shrunk version of the constant temperature fairy array. In winter, they can only be forced to close down.

If it was during the day, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's Constant Temperature Immortal Formation could barely maintain a relatively comfortable indoor temperature, but when the time came to night, it clearly showed signs of being unable to do what it wanted.

As a cultivator, Li Qingning was not afraid of the cold and heat, but Yang Lu and Murong would inevitably feel a little cold after sitting for a long time, so Li Qingning ordered Murong to light up a fire in the room to make the entire reception room warm.

Looking at the snow under the light of the fire outside the window, even Yang Lu, who has experienced various high-end enjoyments on the earth, can't help but sigh sincerely: a warm room and a cold winter night are always the most perfect match!

The three of them just sat on the ground around the fire.

With two beauties, Li Qingning and Murong, to accompany them, even if they just gossip, play poker, talk about novels and anecdotes, and casually flip through the works of ancient cultivation economists, they will feel very warm and comfortable.

Although Li Qingning is a famous young lady in the cultivation world, she is also a young girl who is only 22 years old. After getting along for this period of time, her relationship with Yang Lu and Murong, two people of the same age, is naturally quite good. After work, we can often get together to play cards, tell stories, and talk about homework.

In the beginning, Murong was still a little reserved, but because Yang Lu was very relaxed, he didn't have the mentality of being inferior to others as a mortal, and Miss Qingning was also a temperamental person, the atmosphere among the three was obviously better than that at the beginning. Naturally a lot.

Yang Lu could tell that Li Qingning also enjoyed the feeling of sitting together with friends. For a lady of the Chamber of Commerce like her, perhaps such a warm experience is the most rare experience for her!

To pass the time, Yang Lu specially taught the two girls how to play poker.In Kyushu's comprehension world where entertainment is relatively scarce, the playing cards introduced from the earth quickly aroused the interest of Li Qingning and Murong, and the three of them just formed a table fighting the landlord, because the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the biggest common topic of the three. , as the topic of the poker table continued to advance, the focus of everyone's discussions naturally moved closer to cultivation economics and sect management.

Li Qingning came from an academic family, and even a temporary team like the Qingning Chamber of Commerce had a collection of all kinds of books. While playing cards with the two girls, Yang Lu would occasionally read the crystallization of wisdom of these sages of cultivation.

At this moment, the book Yang Lu is holding in his hand is the work of Bo Nanke, a well-known cultivation economist in ancient times——

"Courage to Act: The Beginning and End of the Second Lingshi Financial Crisis"

This book is a life memoir written by Bo Nanke, a monk on the tenth floor of Yuanying, in his later years after he failed in his attempt to ascend to heaven.

As the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect when the second Lingshi financial crisis broke out, Senior Bo Nanke has achieved amazing academic achievements in many different academic fields. Sir G Newton.

Not only is he the founder of the contemporary theory of "Lingshi Monetary Science", he personally created the Kyushu Currency Union, the predecessor of Lingshi Reserve Bank, and he is also a great scientist of comprehension. Through controlled experiments, he proposed the famous three laws of comprehension in the comprehension world ——The law of spiritual energy conservation, the law of large numbers of spiritual roots, and the law of spiritual energy absorption efficiency.

Relying on the long lifespan of a monk in the late Yuanying period, this senior Bo Nanke has also achieved many other strange academic achievements, such as "Shorthand Technique for Cultivating the Heart" and "Memory Rules for Immortal Techniques" that are now used by practitioners in Kyushu. "wait.

Bo Nanke's failure to ascend to the fairy world is also recognized as the biggest regret in the past ten thousand years in the cultivation world.

After Li Qingning forced Yang Lu to blow up four 3s with two 2s, seeing Yang Lu kept flipping through Bo Nanke's works, he couldn't help but wonder: "Yang Lu, it seems that you really like the works of senior Bo Nanke." !"

Seeing his four 2s being blown up by Li Qingning, Yang Lumian didn't change his face, and threw two 4s backhand: "Senior Bo Nanke's currency theory is very interesting, and the Kyushu Currency Union he founded is really unique." Machine stick."

Seeing that Yang Lu's four 2s were blown up by Li Qingning's two 3s, and then Yang Lu used two 4s to cover it, Murong didn't know how to play his cards anymore, so he had no choice but to say "pass".

But after hearing what Yang Lu said, Murong couldn't help interjecting: "But everyone says that President Lu Yang's attainments in economics are the highest, but I don't think you have seriously studied President Lu's works... ..."

At this time, Li Qingning threw out two jacks very naturally, controlling Yang Lu's pair of fours, without any sense of shame.

Yang Lu just smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry... I don't think President Lu Yang's theoretical level is not good, but President Lu Yang's theory is very, uh... I have a sense of déjà vu, but Bo Nan Senior Ke’s theory is more novel and inspires me more.”

At this time, it was Murong's turn to play his cards again.

Looking at the two Jacks played by Li Qingning and the two Qs in his hand, Murong finally said "I'm sorry". An honest person like her is completely unable to control this magical game!
Hearing Yang Lu praise Bo Nanke, Li Qingning's expression was obviously not good, even though he won the victory by playing tricks.

If one were to choose who is the greatest cultivation economist in the history of the cultivation world, there are only three candidates recognized by the cultivation world:

Ms. Ye Lun, the originator of Xiuzhen Economics who established the three-standard currency system and ended the first Lingshi financial crisis;
Senior Bo Nanke, the legendary master economist who established the Kyushu Currency Union System and ended the second Lingshi financial crisis;

President Lu Yang, who established the Lingshi credit currency system and ended the third Lingshi financial crisis, is a master of comprehension economics.

According to the current mainstream view in the comprehension world, the number of people who support President Lu Yang should be the largest, followed by the number of people who support senior Bo Nanke, and the number of people who support Ye Lun is relatively the least, and there is a significant gap between the number of people who support the former two.

Seeing that Yang Lu devoted most of his energy to studying Bo Nanke's works, the two women obviously agreed that he was "Bo Nanke's school".

Li Qingyang is the assistant and registered disciple of President Lu Yang, and Li Qingning is naturally a staunch supporter of the "Lu Yang faction".

After playing the last card in her hand and unilaterally announcing her victory, the beautiful lady immediately retorted: "President Lu Yang has obtained the golden wheel of seven merits, which is higher than the six golden wheels of merits of senior Bo Nanke. I think President Lu is even better. Not to mention, senior Bo Nanke failed to ascend to the top all his life, while senior Lu Yang achieved the position of immortal."

Yang Lu immediately made a gesture of raising his hand to surrender, and then took the initiative to shuffle a round of cards for the two ladies, explaining: "President Lu is indeed a great economist of cultivation! I just said that the theory of senior Bo Nanke inspired me even more. Big, and I didn’t mean to belittle President Lu. When it comes to the contribution to Kyushu’s cultivation world, President Lu is naturally greater. After all, in addition to establishing the Lingshi Reserve Bank, he also prepared the Wuliangjianpai Stock Exchange and the Comprehension Financial Supervision Committee. Bo Senior Nanke is not as far away as him!"

What Yang Lu said was the truth.

Although President Lu Yang's cultivation economics theory is more advanced and his contribution is more prominent, but these theoretical achievements of President Lu Yang are highly similar to the theoretical achievements of the earth, and they have no enlightening significance for Yang Lu.

On the contrary, it was the Kyushu currency union system created by Bo Nanke, which made him feel bright.

He originally thought that the Kyushu Currency Union system was a mutated version of the Bretton Woods system, but after careful study, he found that its underlying principles were completely different from the Bretton Woods system on Earth.

Considering that neither Li Qingning nor Murong had any foundation in "Lingshi Numismatics", Yang Lu didn't give an in-depth explanation on it, just a perfunctory attitude of "everything the young lady says is right".

Seeing that Yang Lu took the initiative to admit defeat, the beautiful young lady suddenly burst into a charming smile: "This will continue to call me a landlord... I knew that you also supported President Lu Yang! I grew up listening to President Lu's stories, I don't know if I can achieve the achievements of President Lu in my life."

Yang Lu forcibly resisted the urge to complain, and didn't have the nerve to discourage Li Qingning's enthusiasm.

When it comes to theoretical level, Yang Lu thinks that he is not much inferior to that President Lu. If Li Qingning is willing to study the knowledge he imparted as seriously as Murong, his future achievements may not be comparable to those of his predecessors. Just look at Li Qingning's three days of fishing and two days of drying Yang Lu felt that it would be difficult for her to realize her lofty ideals because of Wang's learning attitude.

Through this period of getting along, Yang Lu already knew Li Qingning's details quite well.

Li Qingning possesses the rare cultivation talent of top-grade wind spirit root. Since he stepped into the fairy gate at the age of 16, he has cultivated from the lowest state of introducing qi into the body to the state of great perfection in qi refining in just over 3 years.

She hasn't advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the past two years, not because she can't afford the Foundation Establishment Pill, but because according to the Heavenly Dao Agreement signed by the seven major sects of Kyushu, every Qi Refining Stage monk must participate in at least one extraterritorial battlefield trial. Eligible to continue to the Advanced Foundation Stage.

Therefore, Li Qingning had to wait until the end of this year's extraterritorial trial to complete before he could be qualified to continue practicing, otherwise he would have to bear the terrible punishment of breach of contract.

With this heaven-defying spiritual root aptitude, even if Li Qingning didn't cultivate merit, it would not be a problem to step by step to retreat to the golden core stage. If he followed the sect and mixed up a little merit, he might be able to look forward to the Nascent Soul stage.I don't know what kind of stimulation this young lady has received, so she insisted on running away from home to run the chamber of commerce!
Li Qingning didn't know that Yang Lu was secretly complaining about herself, she was already addicted to Doudi Zhu and couldn't help herself.

Staring at the cards in her hand, the young lady's beautiful face was slightly flushed with excitement, and she couldn't help rubbing her white hands. Looking at her undisguised ecstasy, Yang Lu knew it without guessing. She drew a handful of cards.

Sure enough, Li Qingning raised his hand this time and played a bunch of cards: "Shunzi, 345678910J, anyone want it?"

Murong hesitated for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone: "This is 45678910JQ, I'm in charge!"

However, Li Qingning did not continue to play tricks this time, but directly threw four cards domineeringly: "So what about the top? Four 2s exploded!"

Seeing this, Yang Lu and Murong expressed that they couldn't afford it.

Li Qingning immediately smiled triumphantly, and threw four cards out of his hand again.

"Three aces with a 5, I have two cards left, if you can't afford it anymore, I will win this hand!"

Seeing Li Qingning's face full of winning tickets, Yang Lu chuckled, "I blow you up with 4 K!"

"Why do you have a bomb in your hand?"

"Luck, it's just luck!"

Seeing that his winning cards were gone, Li Qingning became impatient: "Is 4 Kings amazing? See if I won't blow you up!"

Yang Lu was speechless for a moment: "You just told me that two 3s can blow me up to four 2s, and I accepted it, but now it's okay, you said that one 3 can blow me up to four Ks, that's okay." Play?"

Li Qingning blushed, but still refused to admit defeat and said: "Then you can also use a 4 to get my 3!"

"I'm not stupid, do you think I don't know that your last card is Zhang Dawang?"

Seeing that Yang Lu ruthlessly exposed the fact that he was cheating, Li Qingning was so anxious that he even forgot that he was a cultivator, so he rushed forward and pushed Yang Lu to the ground.Suppressing Yang Lu with his body, he said relentlessly, "I asked someone to help you make this deck of cards. Can't you play according to my rules?"

The temperature next to the stove is quite comfortable. Both Yang Lu and Li Qingning are wearing thin clothes, separated by two layers of thin cloth, their bodies transmit warm body temperature to each other.Feeling the soul-inducing elasticity of Li Qingning's long legs, as well as the breath she felt so close when she spoke, Yang Lu couldn't help laughing and said: "No objection, of course I have no objection! There is an old saying in our hometown that beauty is justice, everyone Miss, you are simply the embodiment of justice!"

Hearing Yang Lu's teasing, Li Qingning finally realized that her posture was very indecent. She jumped away from Yang Lu as if she had been scalded.The soft touch disappeared, and Yang Lu couldn't help smacking his lips regretfully.

If it were placed on Earth, a girl of Li Qingning's age would probably be able to come up with pornographic jokes casually.

Seeing Li Qingning's white, tender and greasy face smeared with a drunken blush, he was speechless for a long time, how could this be a female boss of a chamber of commerce, or an innocent girl who had never experienced anything in the world!
