Chapter 736: Profit comes first
"Ok!"
"This matter..."
"I see."
"Kurohito-kun, let me try."
"in addition……"
"After all, Baichuan is away."
"Kurohito-kun."
"You still have to care more."
The Japanese Prime Minister Keigo Sakai exchanged a few pleasantries.
……
The money situation in the Japanese base camp was in a state of turmoil.
And around the main city...
Some newspapers and news agencies also began to release some important news.
"New 1st Division Commander Lin Xu secretly met with the Japanese st Imperial Army Deputy Chief of Staff Suzuki Jiro!"
"The devils intend to marry the princess to Lin Xu."
"The New First Division will soon become independent!"
"The New First Division will soon be reorganized into the Three Provinces Border Defense Army!"
"The New First Division and the devils have reached a deep cooperation!"
"Lin Xu has forgotten his original intention."
Newspapers with similar headlines began to spread around the main city.
Then it will be released throughout the Xia Kingdom.
After the people saw it.
Everyone was shocked and had different reactions.
"Commander Lin...want to defect? Become a traitor?"
"I don't believe it! I won't believe it even if I'm beaten to death. My son is still fighting the Japanese under Commander Lin! He even wrote in a letter last time saying that he killed three Japanese with his own hands!"
"What an unscrupulous newspaper! How dare they broadcast such absurd news! They're nothing but beasts!"
"That's right! We can't believe it!"
"Fake! It's all fake!"
"I believe Commander Lin!"
"Haha! A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! In the end, it's still just this trick!"
"Yeah! I've seen through it a long time ago. Those things are nothing."
"A bunch of scum!"
"But what if... it's true?"
"Nothing unexpected!"
"Commander Lin is always on the front line of the War of Resistance!"
"Alas! People's hearts are hidden. Who can really guarantee this kind of thing?"
"Damn it! What did you say, you bastard? How dare you question Commander Lin?"
"When judging a person, shouldn't we look at what he has done?"
"The New First Division has killed hundreds of thousands of devils along the way, right?"
"what?"
"Isn't this enough to explain something?"
"You, a bunch of losers whose legs tremble at the sight of the Japs, dare to make such irresponsible comments about Commander Lin?"
"Haha...it's really easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them!"
"There's no evidence at all, just baseless speculation!"
"that is……"
"Besides, with Commander Lin's merits, what's wrong with getting a few devil princesses? What's the problem?"
"Always support Commander Lin!"
"Everyone, don't you think this news is a bit strange?"
"There was nothing wrong."
"Suddenly, news of slander against Commander Lin came out."
"And it's as if these newspapers and press offices received the order at the same time. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"Haha...how many people in the entire Xia Country have this ability?"
"Bah! When fighting the Japs, they're as cowardly as dogs, but when it comes to dealing with our own people, they're all fierce and capable!"
"What a piece of shit!"
……
People's eyes are sharp.
Everyone is not stupid.
I know exactly what you are like.
However, the fact that the Japanese envoys went to Tianjin did cause a huge uproar.
Amidst this uproar...
Things started to get going again in the main city.
A new currency is suddenly released.
Silver certificate!
The so-called silver certificate is a currency that can be exchanged for gold and silver.
And issue decrees.
To unify the planning of the money market.
All gold and silver must be exchanged for silver certificates and circulated in the market.
Anyone, whether civilian or official, who dares to privately store physical gold and silver will be charged with treason.
Just...very confusing.
Anything can be linked to treason.
very messy.
Do it around.
On the contrary...
Very energetic.
Originally, under the cover of the Japanese envoy's mission to Tianjin, the issuance of silver notes had not caused any heated discussion.
But when the soldiers in the main city began to search for gold and silver from house to house.
And all those who secretly hoarded gold and silver were taken to prison.
There is a slight resistance.
Killed on the spot.
For a while.
Bloody incidents continue to occur.
"Previously, Commander Lin of the New First Division announced to the world that the main city was going to issue gold certificates... Didn't the main city say at the time that it was all rumors? There's no way such a harmful gold certificate could be issued?"
"Yes, they didn't issue gold coupons. These are silver coupons, not gold coupons."
"This...this is possible?"
"What kind of abstract things are they playing with?"
"That's crazy!"
"Made! Gold certificate? Silver certificate?"
"What the hell..."
"Good good!"
"If a murderer changes his name, he can become a nobleman, right?"
"Fuck! My Third Uncle sent the silver dollars to Jin Province for storage when Commander Lin publicly reminded us. At that time, I laughed at him for being so timid. Now it seems that I was the one who was so stupid."
"Let's go! Let's go to Jin Province together! We'll store the silver dollars and gold bars on Commander Lin's territory, for safekeeping!"
"Yes! That's right! Let's go together!"
"I only have two silver dollars, please bring them with me..."
……
After various bloody incidents occurred on the streets.
The people from all over the country were unwilling to surrender, and they came to Shanxi Province with their lives and property at risk.
Because of one person.
Believe in a city.
Because of one person.
Recognize a province.
Lin Xu's name.
Now it has become a synonym for trustworthy.
……
main city.
mansion.
"Ran?"
"The Great Migration?"
"What do you mean?"
"make it clear!"
The old man frowned and glared at the man in the Zhongshan suit, Zhao Ziyu, looking very dissatisfied.
"Forehead……"
"Actually...actually, they just don't want to exchange their gold and silver for silver certificates, so they want to store them in Jin Province."
"These people have spread the word that Lin Xu loves the people like his own children and would never take their money."
"cough……"
"Now…now this is getting bigger and bigger."
"People are rushing towards Jin Province."
“The road is full of people.”
"Traffic is severely congested."
When Zhao Ziyu, the man in the Zhongshan suit, talked about this, he felt his scalp tingling.
This time, he finally felt what it meant to be in the will of the people...
"Sir."
"Stop it."
"It's not too late to stop now."
"I know you need money."
"But money obtained through fraud and deception is not safe to spend."
"Sir."
"If we continue to force the issuance of silver notes, we will lose the support of the people!"
"Sir! You must think carefully!"
The black-robed man, Chen Shaoxiu, had originally warned himself not to talk too much, but at the critical moment he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
He didn't want the old man to get deeper into trouble.
I also don’t want the people to suffer more.
This world has brought enough suffering to the people.
enough!
That's enough!
"The Japanese currency suddenly depreciated..."
"The Japanese currency we previously stored has now become worthless."
"It's equivalent to the funds we have shrinking again."
"If we don't increase revenue, we won't even be able to pay the most basic military salaries."
"Not to mention purchasing elite equipment from the Mei Kingdom to equip a million new troops."
