Chapter 689: Disaster is Coming (Please vote and subscribe)
Elder Jin and Elder Qi were puzzled. Didn't they say they were going to create some kind of currency? Why were they targeted by the Han tribe? What did the Han tribe target?
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two elders, Commander Xin told them everything that Niu Wei had just said to him, as well as the Han tribe's intention to promote currency on Zhudao, including the real purpose of inviting them to visit the Han tribe, as well as his own analysis and suspicion of Niu Wei.
Elder Jin and Elder Qi were also sweating coldly after hearing this. They were just planning what to do after going to the Han tribe before they came here. Now they thought that if they went there, they might not even know whether their tribe would still exist when they come back. No, they might not even come back.
"So what the commander-in-chief means is that we won't go this time? But looking at the attitude of the Han tribe and what that guy Niuwei said, whether we go or not, the Han tribe's delegation will promote currency in our Zhudao. What should we do then?"
Elder Jin picked up a silver dollar and turned it over and over in his hand, looking at the portrait of Luo Chong on it, he felt a little complicated. It was this young man who could bring a devastating blow to the Xin tribe with any decision he made.
"I've thought about it. We can't let the Han tribe promote currency here. We can't go to the Han tribe's invitation this time, because once we refuse their request to promote currency, then neither you nor I may really be able to come back if we go to the Han tribe.
But currency is indeed a good thing. Even if we don't have the money and technology of the Han tribe, we have to make it ourselves. It doesn't matter if it's not as sophisticated as the Han tribe's, as long as it can meet large-scale use and is easy to distinguish. The way to distinguish is according to the Han tribe's set, and it is also divided into three levels. If it is too difficult, we will make it into two levels and use our red gold (copper) and platinum (silver).
In this way, when we have our own currency, it will be difficult for the Han tribe to promote their currency. Moreover, when we trade in the future, we also require the Han tribe to buy with our money. If not, we will still use barter according to the original method. What do you think of this idea?" asked Commander Xin.
"Well, it's OK. Anyway, as long as the Han tribe has it, we should have it too. If it doesn't work, we can just work on it slowly. I think this currency is not very difficult to make, but it's the problem of currency value that the commander-in-chief just mentioned. If we promote the currency ourselves, will the people use their own copperware to run against
the bank? We don't have as much iron as the Han tribe?" Elder Jin thought for a while and said. "This is not a big problem. After all, the Xin tribe belongs to us. As long as we order that copperware cannot be used for transactions, only copper cast into coins can be traded. This will prevent the people from running against the bank. Besides, just like what Niuwei said, the people still rely on those farm tools to make a living. They can't exchange them all for other things." Commander Xin immediately said his solution. The
two elders nodded in agreement without saying anything. They were all thinking about what they needed to do.
"Do you two have any other ideas? This time we rejected the invitation of the Han tribe, and prevented them from issuing currency on Zhudao. Then the relationship between our two tribes may deteriorate rapidly. By then, there may be a war. Do we need some preparations as well?" Seeing that the two were silent, Commander Xin simply asked himself.
Elder Qi thought for a while and suddenly said to Commander Xin, "Grand Commander, I have a suggestion. Since Niu Wei has already defected to the Han Tribe, we definitely cannot keep him. But this guy has been in the Han Tribe for more than a year after all, and his familiarity with the Han Tribe is something we cannot compare to.
So I suggest that we arrest him and then interrogate him thoroughly. Maybe we can get out of him some things we don't know about the Han Tribe, such as the Han Tribe's army, the Han Tribe's system, and all kinds of information about the Han Tribe. These are all news we are in urgent need of. Since we have to be prepared to turn against the Han Tribe, we should better know more about our opponent's methods.
For example, this guy definitely knows more about the promotion methods of currency than we do."
"Yes, Elder Qi is right. We do need information in this area. No one in our Xin Tribe knows more than him.
I would also like to add that those who followed Niu Wei to the Han Tribe should all be arrested. They are all Niu Wei's confidants and have been in the Han Tribe for so long. They know a lot. Even if one or two of them are unwilling to speak, there will always be a few willing to speak out among so many people. "Elder Jin also added.
Commander Xin narrowed his eyes and was very tempted by this suggestion. However, if Niu Wei had really defected to the Han Tribe, would arresting him at this time accelerate the Han Tribe's rebellion?
Thinking of this, Commander Xin suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head. It didn't matter whether the Han Tribe turned against him or not. Anyway, they didn't have good intentions towards their own tribe.
"Then arrest them." Commander Xin made up his mind.
Elder Jin and Elder Qi looked at each other and nodded to indicate that this suggestion was passed.
"Do you have any other suggestions? That's the Han Tribe, it must be difficult to deal with. "Commander Xin continued to ask.
"Well, let me think about it. If we really fall out with the Han tribe, then if the Han tribe comes to attack us, they will definitely come from the sea. As for the station of their delegation, we must also take precautions in advance. We don't have a large ship that can compete with the Han tribe on the sea, so we can only think of a way on the shore." Elder Jin analyzed and said.
"Yes, weapons and soldiers, we must start preparing. In addition, I also suggest that we can try to contact Maodun on the grassland. Although this guy is not a good thing, if we can let him cause trouble for the Han tribe, I believe that the Han tribe will not have so much energy to deal with us. After all, their territory is so large, but the population is very limited. Even if they want to attack us, the soldiers they can mobilize are limited.
If we let Maodun, that guy, pin down all the soldiers of the Han tribe on the grassland, then we will have more time to develop.
I know some news on the grassland. Since the Han tribe built a city on the grassland, Maodun's life has been very difficult. They are now very short of salt. We can provide weapons and salt and let them attack the cities on the grassland of the Han tribe. "Elder Qi continued to add.
"That guy Maodun is really abominable, but if he can take the knife for us in front, this is also a good method, then let's decide it.
Send someone to the Han tribe's envoy's station to tell them that they are not allowed to use their coins on Zhudao, and then send a team to the grassland to contact Maodun, and it would be best if he sent someone over so that we can keep in touch, and then you two should also find a way to hurry up and mint our own coins.
But before that, we'd better catch Niuwei first," Commander Xin decided.
