"Uh..." Linton's words made Gasein confused for a moment. Of course, not only Gasein, but also Prime Minister Tyrade and Yalan, who was holding Xiao Lin Rui, didn't understand either.
"Don't you really think that a war is just about sending some troops to fight against each other?" Linton said.
"Isn't it?" Garserne asked.
"The only thing we fight in wars is money. Our biggest advantage now is that we have money. We can just use money to kill the other party. Fight for whatever reason." Linton spread his hands and said, "Although I don't know who is stumbling upon me.
But since he has opened a game for me to guess who is loyal and who is not loyal, then I will open a game for him too, and let us all guess together, how fun it is."
"Uh... I still don't quite understand what you mean. Can you just tell me what to do?" Garsain said.
"Okay." Linton nodded, then looked at Tyrade next to him, "Little old man, please remember my orders."
"Uh... have I changed my name again? Is this the first one with a nickname?" Tyrard asked. Seeing Linton's raised eyebrow, Tyrard quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"First, arrest the family members of all the soldiers under the First and Second Corps. According to national law, the rebels are from the Yi tribe. Notify them that after one month, all members of the rebel family will be executed, and no one will be left alive." Linton waved his hand.
said.
This first order shocked the people nearby. The first and second legions combined totaled 200,000 people. You killed all their family members? How many people will you kill?
"Aren't you worried about chaos in the country?" Garser asked immediately, "Do you know how many people will be arrested?"
"How many can there be? What kind of chaos? Let us know. We will set up rewards here to encourage civilian arrest teams. If a traitor is caught, his family will be rewarded with 5 silver coins. Do you think most people are busy making money or are they busy rebelling with these traitors?
?" Linton said.
"Uh..." Garsain suddenly had nothing to say.
"Inform the rebels that if you come back within a month, you will be considered as having returned from your lost ways. Your sentence will be commuted to twenty years of hard labor and sent to the south to mine and open up wasteland. Your family will be pardoned," Linton continued.
"Is this a differentiation strategy?" Garsain nodded thoughtfully.
"At the same time, I also told their officers and other nobles not to come back. If they come back, they will be the Yi clan. Unless someone can come back with the heads of the two legion commanders, the merits and demerits will be balanced, and the family can be pardoned. Ordinary
As for soldiers, if they come back with the sergeant's head, they can have their hard labor time reduced," Linton said.
"Uh... Isn't this too straightforward? Everyone knows that this is a plan to divide people," Garsain said.
"Yes, but if you know it, you won't be jealous?" Linton said, "Who wants their heads? Let them guess by themselves. I don't believe that every officer and every soldier can be so loyal to their new emperor.
, I would rather die and have my whole family help him fight the war. If they are really this kind of soldiers, I will let them win and I will obey him."
"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible." Tyrard here said, he had secretly changed Linton's title to "Your Majesty", as if he always called him this in private.
"Second, inform the people throughout the north that if they take the land certificate from the north and come to the south, they can get a piece of wasteland twice the size in the south. The state will pay you to open up wasteland, provide you with tools and
Grow grain, get tax exemption for two years, and it will be yours after you grow it." Linton continued.
"Uh... is this... robbing the other party of their population?" Gaseon asked, "But... what if the other party blocks it?"
"Stop, that's enough for him. If you can, send out all the troops to stop them. Besides, if you block others from getting rich, you will be hated by others. Let's see if our unknown new emperor takes it seriously.
The people's support has changed. Anyway, even if there is a conflict, it has nothing to do with us, and it is not us who hates us." Linton spread his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible." Tyrad next to him said again.
"Then you are really useful." Linton smiled, "Then the third article is to inform the whole country that after one month, all the old coins of the empire will be invalid. All people are asked to exchange the old coins in their hands for new ones within one month.
Currency, exchange points will be opened in every city under our control, so don’t miss it. After one month, the empire will no longer recognize the old currency, and it will not be possible to exchange it, so don’t make a mistake.”
"This..." This statement made the three of them stunned again.
"The circulation rate of our previously issued banknotes within the empire is relatively high, right?" Linton asked.
"Hmm... Indeed." Tyrard nodded. It is true that the circulation rate of the paper money introduced before was quite high. After all, it was convenient. It was much more convenient than the original gold coins. Of course, the original metal currency was not banned in the empire. Now it is
Parallel usage status.
In order to start a newspaper, Linton had built several printing robots in the Dragon Ball world, fully automatic ones. They were really easy to use, and the output was indeed exaggerated, reaching the point of excess.
Later, after the three empires of mankind were unified, the empire was quite poor at first, so Linton started to engage in financial banking again, and by the way, he also issued imperial banknotes.
Due to the gap in technology, the paper and pen printed by the printing press cannot be imitated in the main world. Therefore, it is safe and convenient, and gradually circulates quickly within the empire. Even transactions in other countries are sometimes used now.
Paper money is indeed easy to carry. It is much more convenient than a caravan carrying a cart of metal currency back home.
As for exchanging new currency, it is quite simple now. After all, the printing presses are all there, so just change the format. And banks are open everywhere, so you can just exchange them there. The foundation has been laid in advance.
"You emphasize that our city can exchange money, but that means that the people in the city over there cannot exchange it? If it is invalidated, it means that the banknotes in the hands of the people will be invalidated? In that case, they will lose a lot of money..." Gasan
After thinking about it for a while, I gradually understood the meaning of Linton's order.
But after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "But the problem is what if they don't change the new coins, but use the old coins? Isn't it still usable?"
"Are you stupid? In this month, we have been working hard to print old coins. After a month, we will send people to scatter coins everywhere and cover the ground with old coins. You will use your own things to exchange them.
Is there any paper that can be picked up on the ground?" Linton said, "If he doesn't give up the old coins, we can just give them up for them."
"The only way is for the new emperor to exchange goods of equal value for the old coins in the hands of the people. Otherwise, the people over there will suffer losses. Let's see how much this emperor loves his people."
"Uh..." After Linton said this, everyone suddenly felt how cruel this was.
"I just want to see if the new emperor can suffocate himself to death." Linton said with a smile.
