"I do!"
Just as they were laughing and joking, they suddenly heard Hu Chen's voice.
They all looked at Hu Chen in disbelief, he was actually willing to give up his wealth and status!
However, they soon realized that the tiger clan was different from them.
They're dirt poor, so it doesn't really matter whether they pay or not.
Mu Youran glanced at the other clan leaders who were still mocking her below, a faint smile on her face.
"It's alright, the Beast King's decree remains in effect."
"Next, the second thing."
As he spoke, Hu Zhong brought over a wooden plate with a row of gold coins arranged in the middle, with a small hole in the center, and a row of small gold bars, all neatly arranged and the same size.
Everyone looked at the rather pretty thing with curiosity.
The Tengshe clan chief held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand. It was a bit heavy and felt hard to the touch. He bit it with his teeth and left a deep tooth mark.
It seems that this thing only feels hard to the touch; it's actually quite soft.
What is this?
Mu Youran produced a second decree: "The Beast King hereby declares the abolition of seashells as the currency of exchange, and the use of gold bars and gold coins in lieu of them."
“Anyone who privately manufactures currency shall be executed along with their entire family.”
"From today onwards, anyone who possesses seashells can exchange them for gold bars and gold coins at the lending bank. This offer is valid for one month within Beast King City and one year in remote areas. Once the offer expires, it will be discontinued!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
What is this thing? Why can't they understand it?
When they first heard that seashells were to be abolished and replaced with gold coins and bars, they thought the Beast King was trying to openly rob them of their property.
If that's the case, then they'll have an excuse to rebel.
However, the next sentence completely baffled them.
Clearly, it seems the Beast King doesn't care about their money; he just really wants to exchange it for a different currency.
But they've been using seashells for so long, they're used to it, and they don't want to go through the trouble of changing it.
The chieftain of the Tengshe clan chuckled and said, "Beast King, Queen, isn't this too much trouble? Everyone is used to using seashells, it wouldn't be good to change it like this."
These words immediately garnered support from others.
"Yes, we have so much piling up at home, it's a real hassle to replace it."
Long Yin looked at Mu Youran beside him. He also found this problem troublesome, but he knew that Youran must have her reasons for doing these things.
I really want to know what she's going to do.
Mu Youran placed the decree on the table and said with a smile, "I didn't ask you to change it right now."
"A month is plenty of time for you to come and make the change!"
"If you still find it troublesome, you can deposit your money in the lending bank. This lending bank is the property of the Beast King. Do you think the Beast King would let you swallow it up?"
"Next time you come to withdraw money, we'll give you gold coins and gold bars."
Upon hearing Mu Youran's suggestion to deposit the money in a lending bank, the Beast King's eyes lit up.
hey-hey……
That's not exactly swallowing it up, but sooner or later it will be his anyway.
He immediately declared, "Yes, as long as my dragon clan exists, this lending bank will continue to operate and will not go bankrupt."
"Don't worry, just leave them with me!"
The heads of the major clans twitched at the corners of their mouths.
This Beast King Hai really doesn't hide his thoughts at all; it turns out he wants everyone to deposit their money with him!
However, to be fair, this loan company has been operating on the street for more than half a year now.
Not only did it not go bankrupt, but it also had an excellent credit rating, offering interest on deposits and low loan interest rates.
More importantly, it has grown from one store to three.
Such speed left them somewhat in awe.
But those weren't just any things, they were money. If they put it in a lending bank, they were afraid they'd lose it all.
After all, money is so valuable, it's safer to keep it in your own bag.
The chieftain of the Tengshe clan glanced at Shuming, who was usually full of clever ideas, and told him to quickly come up with a way to get by for now.
But Shuming pretended not to see it.
He had already suffered so much loss, yet these people were all unharmed, which made him extremely resentful.
Although he didn't understand why the Beast King and Mu Youran were doing these things, based on his understanding of Mu Youran as a female...
There's no way there wouldn't be something fishy going on; she's not the kind of person who wouldn't do something for nothing!
Seeing that he pretended not to see it, and that everyone else was playing dumb, the Tengshe clan chief had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"Hehe, we'll think about it."
Mu Youran didn't care whether they saved money or not. She opened the decree and had Hu Ben pass it on to them.
"If you have no objections to the new law, then please put your fingerprints on it."
The heads of the major families looked at the terms and conditions, their faces growing darker with each reading.
So this is forcing them to agree to replace seashells with gold coins, and if they don't exchange them within a month, the seashells will be invalid!
The Falcon Clan Chief slammed his fist on the table and stood up; he had long been fed up with this wretch.
They came to the meeting early in the morning hungry, only to find that the Beast King and this woman were late, making them wait quite a while.
Now they're forcing them to take their money to lending banks to exchange it.
"Do whatever you want, but my Falcon Clan will not agree!"
Upon hearing this, Tiger Clan Chief Tiger Minister immediately looked at him.
Saying this will offend people. Isn't he afraid of being resented by the Beast King, Queen, and Prince?
He immediately gave him a look, but his eyes were practically twitching from blinking so much that even the Falcon Clan Chief Fei Yun didn't notice him.
This caught the attention of the Hidden Prince, who quickly turned his head away.
If I had known he was so stupid, I would have sent someone to give him a tip last night.
Don't they realize that among these nine great families, only the patriarch of the most powerful Tengshe clan is speaking up; the others are all keeping quiet.
Moreover, even when others speak, they do so tactfully, unlike him, who speaks bluntly as if he has a grudge against someone.
Once the Falcon Clan Chief Fei Yun spoke, the other clan chiefs pretended not to understand, neither raising their heads nor speaking.
The entire scene fell silent instantly!
Looking at their expressions, Mu Youran knew it wouldn't go so smoothly.
With a smile, she looked at Shu Ming beside her. Feeling the gaze, Shu Ming looked up and saw Mu Youran's gentle smile.
She even raised an eyebrow at him.
With that small movement, Shu Ming's blood surged instantly.
She nearly ground her teeth to powder; this was a threat!
My mother and sister haven't been released yet. If I don't make a statement now, I'm afraid the property I give away won't bring my sister and mother back.
No wonder she said yesterday that she could be released today; it all depends on his current attitude.
Shu Ming gritted his teeth in hatred, his hands clenching so tightly under the table that they made a cracking sound.
Damn Mu Youran!
You're doing great, aren't you? Once your mother and sister are released, it will be your death countdown!
