Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 286 0285: Currency Concerns

Following Yu Wenlin's signal, the Feiyun Shuttle arrived and stopped above the city of Xiangyang Prefecture.

Cheng Zongyang looked down at the city below and was extremely surprised. This was his first time in Yunfeng City. But looking down at the huge city below, he felt a little weird.

It seems to be similar to Zi'an County.

"Friend Cheng, have you ever been to Yunfeng City?" Seeing that Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry to go down, Yu Wenlin was not in a hurry either. While asking, it was also the first time for him to overlook the city.

This gave him the illusion that he was looking down on all living beings in the world and that everything was under his control!
Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly: "It's about the same size as a county town in the Xiuxian World. Where can I get off?"

He didn't waste time either, hovering also consumes fuel.

"Is it so big?" Yu Wenlin heard this, his eyes flashed. He then said, "It's in the backyard of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, in my villa. That's where I live, and no one dares to go in without my permission."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly.

Following Yu Wenlin's guidance, they soon arrived at Yu Wenlin's courtyard.

Yu Wenlin got off the boat and waited for Cheng Zongyang to take the Feiyun Shuttle away. He then said politely, "Master Cheng, I will arrange a guest room for you to rest first. Can you wait for me for an hour? I will go and arrange some things right away. I will take you to the bank's vault to get the money in an hour."

Cheng Zongyang stared at Yu Wenlin for a moment, then nodded slightly: "No, I'll go outside for a walk. I'll come back in an hour."

"Okay." He took off the token from his waist and handed it over, still politely saying, "This is my token. With this token, you can move freely in the Dayi Chamber of Commerce. Even outside, you can use this token to spend everything. I will be responsible for all the spending accounts."

"Thank you very much."

Cheng Zongyang laughed, took the token and left without saying anything.

Even if he wants to spend money, he won't have to keep a record of it and owe favors to others. But holding the token only saves him the trouble of going in and out.

After Cheng Zongyang left, Yu Wenlin immediately summoned another person in charge to discuss the transaction with Cheng Zongyang.

One is to arrange the other two places, and the other is to prepare for the inquiries.

In the living room, as the second person in charge, Shen Tu Li, came to the living room in the backyard, Yu Wenlin told the story. When the other party was also excited, Yu Wenlin also expressed his own thoughts.

"Cheng Zongyang is so powerful at such a young age. We have to be on guard. We're afraid he'll take the money and not do the job." After hearing what happened, Shentu Li suppressed his excitement and said.

Yu Wenlin nodded: "But the temptation of the world of immortal cultivation is too great, we can't miss this opportunity. I have secured one spot for you, and I am going to give the third spot to Ji Lin. The three of us have been supporting each other since we were at the middle third rank until now, and we are on the same page in life and death. This time when we go to the world of immortal cultivation, we must continue to support each other!"

Shen Tuli nodded: "I agree, but he is in Linchuan, so we need to talk to him. Besides, if we all leave, who will be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Yu Wenlin said, "It's okay. We have been in charge here for eight years, and there are still two years before the rotation period. I can apply to the headquarters for an early start. It's time for us to step back."

"Okay, I'll sign a petition with you, and call Ji Lin..."

After the two of them discussed it in detail, they came up with a general charter.

This included arrangements to consult Cheng Zongyang on some matters.

Cheng Zongyang took a quick stroll around Yunfeng City and just felt that it was very prosperous and lively, without any extra thoughts.

Having seen the life and prosperity of Zi'an County, I don't have that feeling here.

There was only one hour left, so Cheng Zongyang just occasionally tried some snacks that interested him, strolled slowly along the way, and turned back when the time was almost up.

Holding the token, under the strict gaze of a group of guards, he once again passed all the way to Yu Wenlin's yard.

"Master Cheng, this is Shentu Li, one of the two directors of the Chamber of Commerce. He is one of the three candidates. The other one is in Linchuan. I have sent a message to him. We will be able to gather in Yufeng County in half a month."

"Master Cheng, you're welcome." Following Yu Wenlin's instructions, Shentu Li's tone and attitude were also polite.

After Cheng Zongyang returned the greeting, he said, "Since it's ok, let's go. There are still things to deal with in the county town. As for when you go there, you can arrange the time yourself."

"Okay, thank you very much!" Yu Wenlin breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Cheng Zongyang would be too anxious.

Next, Yu Wenlin and Shentu Li took Cheng Zongyang to the bank's large underground vault.

Only if the two of them come here at the same time, or have their tokens, can they enter here. Otherwise, no one can enter.

There are 40 million taels of silver in the bank here, which is the credit foundation of all the banknotes in Xiangyang Prefecture.

All the silver in the money houses is the credit guarantee of the notes, so they will not be used in large quantities at will. As for the 40 million taels, it is only a small part of the reserve for emergency use. If more is needed, they can also call from the headquarters of other prefectures in Daliang.

This time, they transferred 30 million taels, which was equivalent to overdrawing all the benefits of the two of them in the Great Yi Chamber of Commerce. The headquarters will handle it, and will also arrange for other places to transfer silver to supplement the Xiangyang Prefecture branch.

After Cheng Zongyang checked the silver and confirmed it was correct, he took away the boxes of silver in front of their shocked eyes.

They all knew that this should be the function of the storage ring on Cheng Zongyang's finger.

But they didn't know that the storage ring on Cheng Zongyang's finger was just a disguise.

While checking and putting away each box, Yu Wenlin also asked Cheng Zongyang about things in the world of immortal cultivation.

But Cheng Zongyang was too lazy to explain and directly gave him three newly compiled manuals as a gift for this transaction.

But regarding the spirit stones, Cheng Zongyang gave them both an explanation.

One is to borrow from him, which requires signing an agreement, and the other is that they can find ways to earn it themselves. At the same time, if they want to come back in the future, they can use silver or spirit stones, but the time of return is uncertain.

No one in the world of cultivating immortals uses gold or silver, they all use spirit crystals and spirit stones. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the lower-level personnel being affected.

He set the exchange rate between silver and spirit stones at ten thousand taels per spirit stone.

It's very shady, but spirit stones are very valuable in the world of immortal cultivation. The exchange rate must be high, and he has to make money. If the monopoly business doesn't make money, why monopolize it?
As the three thousand boxes of silver were taken away and returned to the surface, Cheng Zongyang said to them:
"This transaction is halfway done. When you are ready, come find me at Yufeng Immortal City. I will take you there. Also, I don't know if you will tell others, but you will need to pay with spirit stones when you go there. You can pay with spirit stones or silver when you come back, but you must sign a contract and pay it back after making a profit within the time limit."

The two understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and nodded in agreement.

Then Cheng Zongyang released the Feiyun Shuttle, which turned invisible after it was activated and left quickly.

"The world of immortal cultivation! Immortality cultivation! I never thought that we would actually encounter it in our lifetime." Shentu Li said with a smile.

"Let's go. We don't have much time to begin with, so let's quickly deal with things and head to Yufeng County."

"it is good."

After leaving Yunfeng City, Cheng Zongyang quickly rushed back to Yufeng Fairy City.

Although this round trip cost a lot of low-grade spirit stones, getting 30 million taels of silver is equivalent to expanding the area of ​​the wilderness world by 30,000 kilometers. It's worth it!

As for whether the wilderness world is 30,000 kilometers, he thinks it is more than that.

Back in Yufeng Immortal City, Cheng Zongyang entered the basement again and then entered the wilderness world. The silver was transferred to the fifth floor by Luo Dingran. Luo Dingran was authorized to control everything in the hut with his mind, saving a lot of effort.

The fifth floor of the market hut.

"Sir, should all the 30 million taels be used up now?" Luo Dingran asked.

Cheng Zongyang was puzzled: "Is there any problem?"

Luo Dingran nodded slightly: "As I looked at these silvers, I realized a problem. If we expand the area of ​​the wilderness world like this, using silver from the outside world, will this lead to a continuous decrease in the amount of silver outside, until there is no silver left?"

Hearing this question, Cheng Zongyang paused and immediately smiled: "Lao Luo, why do you think this silver is so valuable?"

Luo Dingran thought for a moment and said, "Hasn't it always been so valuable? That's why we can buy goods with it."

Cheng Zongyang knew that Luo Dingran did not understand the meaning of money. He looked around and took out a silver ingot and a porcelain out of thin air.

"How much does this kind of porcelain usually sell for outside?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Luo Dingran glanced at the porcelain floating in front of them and said, "Ordinary porcelain for daily use usually costs only a few hundred coins, right?"

"Well, let's assume it's worth three hundred coins. If I want to buy it, I have to pay three hundred coins. Tell me, which is more valuable, the porcelain or the silver?"

This time, Luo Dingran was stunned.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang laughed, knowing that he should understand something, and continued:
"It is not silver and gold that are valuable, but the goods themselves. Gold and silver are just a kind of transaction intermediary product formulated by us or the highest authority. They are worthless in themselves, and even the goods are worthless, but we give them value and demand, so that according to the value of the goods themselves, we pay the corresponding amount of currency.

Just like the banknotes of Dayi Chamber of Commerce, is it valuable in itself?
It is not valuable, but it is guaranteed by the credibility of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, and has the recognized silver as a credibility guarantee, so it is given value and can be used universally among countries without worrying about being useless.

Lao Luo, let's not talk about whether the silver in the martial arts world can be used up. Assuming it is used up, if a highly authoritative person or force comes out in the future to promote a new paper currency as a substitute for silver, and uses the valuable spirit stones as collateral, do you think it is feasible? Without considering the difficulty of implementation, just say whether this method is feasible?"

Luo Dingran finally understood and nodded, "As long as all the major powers and the country implement it, there will be no problem at all. As long as we exchange the money in the hands of the people, we don't have to worry about the bankruptcy of the lower-class people."

Cheng Zongyang said: "Now that gold and silver have run out, are you still worried about having no currency to use?"

The expansion of the wilderness world requires silver, because the Ringwraiths need silver to eliminate the problems left over from the world itself.

Gold restores the mineral veins of this world, but this has been temporarily stopped, which means that there are currently very few mineral veins in this world.

This principle is the need of the Ringwraiths. They don't understand the principle and don't bother to care. They just execute it.

As for the outside world running out of gold and silver? In other words, as long as the currency is a product that cannot be continuously produced by humans, there is no need to worry about the currency being worthless. Once it can be produced by humans, it will be produced at will sooner or later, and it will be worthless.

Gold and silver are valuable because of the stability, plasticity, beauty, small quantity and the fact that they cannot be made by humans, thus becoming the mainstream currency.

Even if the silver is used up, he can replace it with new products after the Yufeng Fairy City is completed in the future.

With spirit stones as the foundation, it would not be difficult to introduce a new currency for circulation among countries and exchange their existing silver for it in equal proportion.

Besides, he didn't think the silver could be used up, it was just a matter of reducing the amount in circulation.

No one wants to use the silver in the world of immortal cultivation, so it won’t be a problem to take it and use it when the time comes.

As for exchanging points for silver? He would be a fool to do so.

Luo Dingran understood, and Cheng Zongyang didn't wait any longer.

All the silver was immediately used for expansion.

Soon, the super area of ​​30,000 kilometers was expanded.

Cheng Zongyang then asked: "How is the purchase of the formation going? Where is the temple you are looking for?"

Luo Dingran said: "I have purchased the formation and the third-level formation-breaking talisman, but I still can't find the temple. This will take some time."

Cheng Zongyang nodded, knowing that there was no need to rush. It would be easier to find it underwater.

If it is buried deep underground like the first temple, it will be difficult to find.

Now he can only hope to find it underwater. If it is buried underground, then he can only settle for the second best and use the six soul crystals that can be found to inquire.

Although it’s only six minutes, it’s still okay to ask some questions that you care about.

Next, Cheng Zongyang took the formation and the formation-breaking talisman and went to the second ruins with Luo Dingran.

This time, Cheng Zongyang still did not let Luo Dingran follow him, and continued to dive to the bottom of the river alone to set up the formation.

After the arrangement, the river water inside was drained using the formation, and the formation where the ruins were located at the bottom of the river was wrapped. There was a gap of about 30 meters in the middle.

This also caused the river water to become turbulent and overflow to both banks because the river channel was narrowed by the formation.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about all this. After entering the formation, a waterless zone had been formed inside. Even most of the muddy and soft riverbed silt had been scraped away, making the riverbed easy to walk on.

When he arrived in front of the formation, Cheng Zongyang examined it again and found that it was a third-level water formation.

Without hesitation, he took out the talisman to break the formation and stuck it on. Then he quickly stepped back, released his protective qi and got out of the formation to avoid any accidents.

With a loud rumbling sound inside, the air waves surged, causing the shock wave generated by the breaking of the formation shield to vibrate and create ripples.

The inside was filled with dust and it was impossible to see clearly. Cheng Zongyang could only wait for the dust to settle before going in.

Because there was no air circulation inside, the wait lasted more than a quarter of an hour.

When he could see the environment inside clearly and found that it was still exactly the same as before, Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

No change is the best outcome.

Then he walked in.

After adapting to the dim lighting environment inside, I can also see the overall situation clearly.

Cheng Zongyang arrived at the entrance of the temple and first observed the short clay statue with its hands clasped in a bowing posture.

But when I looked at it from the front, I found that under the mud robe was a human body with a fish head.

When I first saw it from the outside, I thought it was a statue of a gatekeeper, but I didn't expect it to be a clay statue that looked like a monster.

But at this time, he also noticed that this mud monster also had a third eye!
He didn't move for the time being, but walked inside.

However, just as Cheng Zongyang walked in, the soul crystal of the third eye of the fish monster at the door flashed with a flash of light, but there were no other changes in its body.
