The Fourth Financial Crisis

Yang Lu's rhetoric touched on Tian Daxiao's pain point.

Tian Daxiao has been planning for so many years, whether it is taking in overseas fugitives, transferring the assets of the Shenhuo Sect through market-based methods, instructing Tian Beixi to invade outlying islands, arranging for Li Feiyu to promote the Northeast Ocean Free Trade Agreement, or even risking his own life to come to Zhongzhou to fight against Lin Jianxing. Face, in fact, it is all to build Huoyun State into a new financial center in the world of cultivation.

However, the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Lingshi Reserve Bank have monopolized the issuance of currency in the world of cultivation for more than 500 years. They have received the personal endorsement of the three ascended immortals, and the Lingshi Reserve Bank was not established out of thin air by Ma Tianyi and Lu Yang, but was inherited. Bo Nanke’s Kyushu Monetary Union was reorganized from the earlier Seven Major Monetary Union, which can be traced back to the Second Tiandao Crisis seven thousand years ago.

Because of this, the Lingshi Reserve Bank is already the embodiment of financial order in the world of cultivation. Even if Tian Daxiao has the golden name of being a registered disciple of President Lu Yang, it will be difficult to win people's trust if he rashly establishes a second Lingshi Reserve Bank.

Therefore, Tian Daxiao is probably the person in the Kyushu cultivation world who most hopes to see the Lingshi Reserve Bank completely collapse.

This is why, although Tian Daxiao and Li Qingyang have been registered master brothers for five hundred years, and their personal relationship is quite good, they are always tit-for-tat like enemies.

Because when faced with the threat of the fourth Lingshi financial crisis, the "painter concept" adhered to by Li Qingyang and Yuntianhua was fundamentally contrary to Tian Daxiao's "starting from scratch concept".

This is like facing a patient with cancer. Li Qingyang and Yuntianhua hope to provide the patient with better nutrition so that he can live one more day. However, in the opinion of surgeon Tian Daxiao, there may be a chance of cure if the patient is operated on earlier and better nutrition It will only make the cancer progress faster. If the cancer is delayed for a long time, the patient will die. As for whether the patient will die on the operating table during the operation, that is no longer an issue that needs to be considered now.

Even from Tian Daxiao's perspective, the stronger the pasting abilities of Li Qingyang and Yuntianhua, and the longer the Lingshi Reserve Bank is pasted, the more potential crises in the Kyushu cultivation world will become more difficult to recover from.

When the default incident of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce broke out, Tian Daxiao originally felt that the time had come to destroy the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and was prepared to wait for Lin Jianxing to take control of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, then completely get rid of it, and then come out to clean up the mess.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingyang actually saved a hand and asked Yang Lu to solve the problem with four ounces of effort. Now that the second wave of crisis between the Lingshi Reserve Bank and the Wuliang Sword Sect has arrived, he cannot miss the opportunity no matter what. Yang Lu didn't find him, but he was ready to give Lin Jianxing a push!

But the problem is that all continents in the Kyushu world are protected by continent-level magic barriers. Following the example of Tian Daxiao sneaking into Haiya City last time, the Wuliang Sword Sect has enhanced the alert level of the Zhongzhou barrier through the methods left by ancient immortals. Without Wuliang The Sword Sect agreed that Tian Daxiao could not send Nascent Soul-level combat forces to directly intervene in the situation in Zhongzhou.

Although sending out Golden Elixir cultivators can cause trouble, they are still far from completely subverting or controlling the Lingshi Reserve Bank!

Not to mention that Tian Daxiao was helpless with the continent-level magic barrier. Even the demons from the Nascent Soul Stage during the second crisis of Heavenly Dao were unable to move freely between continents, which gave Kyushu cultivators a chance to fight back.

Now that he heard that Yang Lu was actually plotting to overthrow Lin Jianxing and pave the way for him to implement strong reforms, and also found two powerful Nascent Soul allies who could enter and leave Zhongzhou at will to assist him, Tian Daxiao finally decided to support him.

After all, all the high-end combat forces in Zhongzhou who oppose Lin Jianxing are on Yang Lu's side, and the Tingheyuge forces that he can most conveniently call are directly under Jiang Hua'an's command, and Jiang Hua'an has made it clear that he sides with Yang Lu. This makes It became more difficult for Tian Daxiao to bypass Yang Lu and do things.

As Yang Lu himself said, Tian Daxiao and Li Qingyang had no conflict in the first place. In fact, both of them hoped to protect the legacy left by President Lu Yang to the best of their ability, but they just had completely different philosophies.

If Yang Lu's reform succeeds, everyone will be happy, but if Yang Lu fails, the conflict between the Wuliang Sword Sect and the top management of Lingshi Reserve Bank will only accelerate the collapse of Lingshi Reserve Bank, and Tian Daxiao will not lose anyway.

In addition, Tian Daxiao is far away in Huoyun State and represents the Shenhuo Sect, which has deep conflicts with the Wuliang Sword Sect. If he wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the Wuliang Sword Sect, he will naturally arouse joint resistance from all the factions of the Wuliang Sword Sect, even if Even Mo Yunlan, who also worked for Lu Yang, would not allow him to cause trouble in Zhongzhou.

Take the last time he went to Haiya City alone to force Lin Jianxing back. In that operation, Tian Daxiao actually took a big risk, and the source of the risk was not Lin Jianxing himself. Even if Lin Jianxing called his ally Qiu Longbo, he would Don't worry too much. What Tian Daxiao is really worried about is that Mo Yunlan received the news that he had arrived in Haiya City, and then came hand in hand with Lin Jianxing.

Mo Yunlan, who is holding the Lou Guan Sword, and Lin Jianxing, who is holding the Bai Lou Sword, both have combat power that is no less than the late Yuanying level. If these two people join forces to attack, unless Tian Daxiao can recruit a master of Wang Sandao's level , otherwise all the tricks you play will be in vain.

If Tian Daxiao hadn't known that Lin Jianxing had a very good reputation, he would have lowered his head and asked Mo Yunlan for help. No matter how high Jiang Huaan's status was in Tinghe Yu Pavilion, Tian Daxiao would not have dared to go to Zhongzhou to support him.

But people like Yang Lu, Ming Zhu, Wang Sandao, and Yuntianhua are different. They are originally Governor Lu Yang's old team and successors. Using their hands to cause trouble in the Wuliang Sword Sect is obviously better than Tian Daxiao himself. Get twice the result with half the effort.

As Yang Lu and Tian Daxiao reached a consensus, the subsequent detailed discussions became much more relaxed and enjoyable.

In fact, Yang Lu didn't expect Tian Daxiao to help him with any specific favors. What he was most worried about was that he had finally defeated the Wuliang Sword Sect, and then Tian Daxiao, as the representative of the foreign forces, started to act like a monster.

After understanding Yang Lu's concerns, Tian Daxiao said very readily that if Yang Lu could really take over the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Lingshi Reserve Bank and provide practical solutions, he would not take the initiative to attack the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and could even help. Restrain those overseas monks who want to take action against the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and promise to wait until Yang Lu is out of control before taking action to clean up the mess.

And this is exactly the promise Yang Lu wants!

After seeing Yang Lu cut off the communication with Tian Daxiao, Mingzhu looked at Yang Lu with something wrong.

He said as if he had gotten to know Yang Lu all over again: "I didn't expect that you could convince so many people with just a few words! Now we have the support of the Spirit Clan, the Sea Cliff Clan, the Shenhuo Sect, and Yuntianhua within the Lingshi Reserve Bank As a helping hand, even if we kill the Wuliang Sword Sect openly, I'm afraid Lin Jianxing won't be our opponent!"

Yang Lu chuckled and said: "No conspiracy or trick can be as effective as absolute power to crush it, but we can't be too happy yet. After all, the Wuliang Sword Sect has six Nascent Soul Stage monks..."

Mingzhu said disdainfully: "The internal factions of the Wuliang Sword Sect are so complicated. Although I have not paid attention to the situation of the Wuliang Sword Sect for two hundred years, I dare to conclude that the six Nascent Soul monks are definitely not of the same mind!"

Yang Lu waved his hand and said: "Having said that, Lin Jianxing is the legal head of the Wuliang Sword Sect after all. Facing their own people, they may still fight among themselves, but in the face of the intervention of external forces like us, others can They may not sit back and watch, especially Mo Yunlan. If he doesn't support us, I'm afraid Cheng Shuying and Wen Hanqing will stand on the opposite side of us!"

Ancestor Mingzhu took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Are you sure you can convince Mo Yunlan?"

Yang Lu smiled bitterly and said: "I can't say for sure. After all, I have never dealt with this person. It may be more difficult to convince him than to convince Tian Daxiao. But after all, I am also the successor designated by President Li Qingyang. Mo Yun Lan will give me some face, at least he won't take the initiative to embarrass me..."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"We have made all the preparations we can. We can set off now. We should at least go to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to check the situation. What's more, Wang Sandao and Wang Ziwei are still trapped in the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect. If they If his whereabouts are exposed and he clashes with the Wuliang Sword Sect in advance, the trouble will be big!"

After hearing Yang Lu's proposal, Mingzhu certainly didn't make sense.

After bidding farewell to Tian Beixi, the two immediately took the Haiya Chamber of Commerce Spirit Boat and went straight to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Tian Beixi wanted to go with Yang Lu, but Mingzhu said that he was not the nanny of the two of them, and it would be enough to protect Yang Lu. It was very difficult. How could she bring another burden? In the end, she was forcibly persuaded to leave.

They also went to the Wuliang Sword Sect headquarters to cause trouble. The current situation at the Wuliang Sword Sect headquarters is completely different from the last debt default incident of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce. The last time the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce incident was backed by the connivance of the Wuliang Sword Sect, so a large number of protesters marched straight in and rushed Entering the main gate of Wuliang Sword Sect, the headquarters of Lingshi Reserve Bank was surrounded.

However, the protest this time was mainly directed at Lin Jianxing himself, so the Wuliang Sword Sect did not even allow outsiders to enter the mountain gate, and directly erected a huge magic barrier with a radius of hundreds of miles, surrounding the entire Wuliang Mountains.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the status of the Wuliang Sword Sect today is not as high as it was back then, its heritage cannot be shaken by mere casual cultivators. Especially its peripheral magic barrier, both in terms of strength and coverage, is not at the same level as the Lingshi Reserve Bank. ,

Yang Lu could only see sporadic offensive spells, which were fired from a distance towards the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect as if to vent his anger. However, these individual spells bombarded the barrier and were annihilated without even causing a ripple. .

Faced with such an impregnable wall, no matter how many ordinary troublemakers there are, they can only look back and sigh.

However, this does not mean that the Wuliang Sword Sect can sit back and relax.

On the contrary, Yuntianhua could still sit calmly in the president's office and think about ways to quell the turmoil in the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce, but now the monks of the sect led by Lin Jianxing are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Although the amount of the Luojia Chamber of Commerce breach of contract case is staggering, the number of victims is not large.

According to subsequent statistics from the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the total number of creditors of the Luo Family Chamber of Commerce is less than 50,000, and most of the debts owed are to legal entities such as the Cultivation Sect and the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce. Although this total number of people is large, if it is compared with Comparing the nearly 100 million cultivators in Kyushu's cultivation world, only 0.1% of the people were affected.

In other words, as long as there are no secondary disasters such as serial defaults, the Luo Chamber of Commerce's default case can only be regarded as a large-scale leek-cutting incident, and the act of cutting leeks will not be sanctioned by Kyushu Tiandao.

However, the nature of Lin Jianxing's counterfeit banknote case is completely different.

The counterfeit banknote case is not an ordinary debt default. It is like quantitative easing, which directly shakes the credit foundation of Lingshi Coin.

In the memories of many senior monks, the value of spiritual stone coins fluctuated greatly in the early years.

At that time, the main reason was that the Lingshi Reserve Bank had just been established, and there was no consensus on the value of Lingshi coins. At that time, everyone still regarded Lingshi coins as some kind of special exchange coupons that could be exchanged for the equity of Lingshi mines, instead of treating them as Mainstream currencies, and finally Governor Lu Yang conducted drastic open market operations in the stock market and capital market, and finally the value of Lingshi Coin was firmly anchored at one ten thousandth of a share of Lingshi Mine stock. Its long-term stable currency value also caused the concept of the cultivation world to gradually change, and it began to be used as a mainstream currency and value measure.

However, the current sharp fluctuations in the value of Lingshi coins make these elders in the cultivation world seem to have returned to five hundred years ago. Not to mention the sharp fluctuations in the value of Lingshi coins circulating in the market, even the stock price of Lingshi mines on the Wuliang Sword Sect Stock Exchange , also once soared to more than 30,000 yuan of spirit stone coins, and is still fluctuating violently.

As a result of the unstable value of Lingshi coins, the entire Kyushu economy has fallen into chaos. The trade activities in Haiya City have almost come to a standstill, and there are endless retaliatory social monks, which are just a microcosm of this currency disaster.

In the face of such a serious chaos, Lin Jianxing, as the instigator, and the monks from the Wuliang Sword Sect under him must bear the primary responsibility, and a large amount of merit will continue to be deducted.

If the counterfeit banknote case was caused by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, it would be okay to say that the Lingshi Reserve Bank could immediately use its own Lingshi reserves, or stabilize the value of the Lingshi coins through open market operations, at least it would not let the Lingshi coins The stock price of Credit Anchor Lingshi Mine fluctuates like a roller coaster.

However, the counterfeit banknote case was a bad thing that Lin Jianxing caused by bypassing the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Therefore, before Lin Jianxing admitted his mistake and resigned, Yuntianhua had no reason to jump out and wipe Lin Jianxing's ass. Even if Jiuzhou Tiandao wants to deduct everyone's merits for this, it will be Lin Jianxing and the Chushu Sect who will be deducted the majority. Yuntianhua and Lingshi Reserve Bank will bear secondary responsibility at most, so why does he want the emperor not to worry and the eunuchs to worry?
