Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 355 Spirit Crystal
"Since I propose to reformulate the monetary system, I am naturally prepared."

Zhu Houzhao took out two crystal mines and put them in front of everyone, saying: "Everyone should know about this stuff!"

"This is the Changbai Mountain crystal mine produced by me."

Zhu Youxiao said in surprise.

"Zhu Houzhao, you don't want to tell us that you want to use this crystal ore as a new currency in circulation!"

Zhu Biao's words were right, and Zhu Houzhao held the two crystal ores in his hands.

"Of course!"

"Look, the crystal ore I'm holding in my right hand was produced by Zhu Youxiao's Tianqi Dynasty in Changbai Mountain, and the crystal ore in my left hand came from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in my Taiwu Dynasty."

"What does this mean? It means that this kind of crystal mine exists on a large scale. The Tianqi Dynasty and the Taiwu Dynasty had it, so other dynasties should also have it. It's just that it hasn't been discovered yet. It's not a problem to use it as a new currency."

Zhu Houzhao talked eloquently: "The most important thing is that this kind of crystal ore contains rich aura power inside, which can be used as an energy source for wooden puppets."

"It can also be used to assist in cultivation, and the scope of application is extremely wide. It can be used as a new currency to flow into the people. On the one hand, it can restrain the troubles caused by the rapid flood of gold and silver."

"Secondly, crystal mines with aura power are not easy to imitate, which can effectively prevent counterfeiting."

Everyone pondered, replacing gold with crystal ore and becoming a new high-end currency sounds feasible, but in practice, there are still a lot of problems.

"The crystal ore produced in each dynasty is not the same, how to distinguish the value."

Lao Zhu's words went straight to the core of the problem.

For example, the quality of crystal ore produced in Hongwu Dynasty is better than that of Yongle Dynasty, but the value of the two kinds of crystal ore is equal. If things go on like this, there will be chaos.

Just like gold, gold with high purity and gold with low purity, is that the same price?
"So, in order to avoid chaos, I propose that all dynasties unify the measurement of the value of crystal ores, so as to avoid turmoil due to unequal values ​​after the crystal ores are circulated."

Everyone agrees with this very much. The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty had close trade relations. If a set of qualified value systems were not formulated, then once the dynasty was in chaos, the other dynasties would follow suit.

They don't understand economics, but they are very clear about the consequences of the chaotic value system. If they don't grasp the degree, things will go to riots until they get out of hand.

"Since you raised this question, you must have already thought of a solution, so let's talk about it!"

Zhu Zhanji said.

"The crystal mine contains a wealth of aura power, and I named it: Spirit Crystal."

"In order to ensure the balance of the value system, spirit crystals can be divided into four levels: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and extreme-grade according to the concentration of aura contained in them."

"The value of middle-grade spirit crystals is ten times that of low-grade spirit crystals. By analogy, each dynasty uses a set of value systems. After the spirit crystals are promoted as currency, there will be no big troubles."

Everyone thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zhu Houzhao said was indeed very feasible. Using spirit crystals as the new currency, and then confirming the value by distinguishing grades and levels, judging from the current financial trend, it is most in line with the national conditions of the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's a way."

However, Zhu Gaochi raised a new serious question at this time: "It is good to use spirit crystals as currency, but the folks have adapted to the use of gold, silver and copper."

"The rash introduction of the new currency will inevitably cause great impact and turmoil to the people. It will have a profound impact on the country and the people."

Habit is a very good quality, but at the same time it is very bad. When a person is used to one thing, it is difficult for him to accept another thing with almost the same function.

The introduction of a new currency was nothing more than a one-sentence matter to Zhu Houzhao and other emperors, but to the common people, it was no less important than changing the sun and the moon to a new sky.

People who are accustomed to using gold, silver and copper find it difficult to accept the new currency in a short period of time, and even instinctively feel that the birth of the new currency will harm their interests, thus hindering the circulation of the new currency.

Especially for those wealthy businessmen, their homes have countless gold and silver. If the new currency is circulated, the gold and silver in their hands will depreciate rapidly, and their value will also plummet.

From a wealthy family to an ordinary wealthy family, with the greedy character of those wealthy businessmen, how can they be indifferent.

Wealthy businessmen hold a lot of resources in their hands. If there is a commotion, the whole country will be in turmoil.

Therefore, the implementation of the new currency system is really not just for fun, one step at a time, one wrong step, and the whole game will be lost.

Seeing that everyone was in hesitation again, Zhu Houzhao continued to persuade:
"We have embarked on the extraordinary road, and many ordinary things are no longer applicable now."

"There is a way that if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. Only by cutting off the rotten and unsuitable things can a more gorgeous and bright flower be born."

"It doesn't change now, and it will change in the future."

"Gold, silver and copper are no longer suitable for this era. It is an irreversible fact. The introduction of a new currency system is to maintain the financial system from collapse, which is beneficial to the country and the people."

"Do we have to wait until the financial collapse and the depreciation of gold, silver and copper before making changes?"

Wait until the financial collapse to make changes. At that time, the day lily will be cold, and everything will be too late. Even changing the monetary system will only be a remedy after a dead sheep.

Zhu Houzhao's words sounded deafening, and made everyone firm up their determination again. The currency system dominated by gold, silver and copper has really come to a time when it has to be changed.

In the new era, in the new atmosphere, everything is changing, and if it remains unchanged, it is tantamount to sitting still and waiting to die.

The currency system is one of the most important factors that constitute a country. If the currency system can no longer support the operation of the country, it will be over.

"No matter what, it is imperative to implement a new currency system. Finance is the top priority of the country's operations, and there must be no problems."

Zhu Youtang spoke solemnly.

"That's it, it's decided to use spirit crystals as the new currency to curb the flood of gold, silver and copper."

Lao Zhu made a final decision. In terms of courage, Lao Zhu has never been weaker than others.

It is true that countless people will obstruct the implementation of the new currency system, but under the general trend, whoever obstructs will die.

Old Zhu, Zhu Di, and Zhu Houzhao are so decisive that they will never allow anyone to challenge them.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Gaochi, an emperor known for his benevolence, will never be soft when it comes to killing people to stand up.

Emperors, no matter their reputation is good or not, are synonymous with supremacy. Once they make up their minds, no one can resist them.

This time the new currency system was implemented, and the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty worked together. Some people were honest and okay, but they dared to rebel and clamored. Only death awaited them.

In the face of such a major event that concerns the stability of the country, everyone in the old Zhu family would never mind killing a river of blood.

The opinions of each other were unified, and everyone discussed some details, such as the exchange ratio of gold and spirit crystals.

Promoting spiritual crystals to replace gold as the highest currency unit does not mean giving up the use of gold. Gold, silver and copper have been in circulation among the people for thousands of years. It is impossible and unrealistic to completely cancel the use of gold.

The purpose of everyone in the old Zhu family is to promote spirit crystals to solve the increasingly serious inflation problem.

Practitioners use spirit crystals, while ordinary people use gold, silver and copper. The two currency systems complement each other and form an integrated whole.
