Chapter 291 The Buds of Monetary Hegemony
In front of the general's mansion, thousands of people fell to the ground, unconscious.
When Huoshaoshan and Flying Squirrel arrived with a team of navy, what they saw were the marchers lying on the ground.
Sure enough.
The burning mountain and the flying squirrel were not surprised at all.
This is the power that Lowen should possess. The Hundred Beasts Pirates of 30,000 men collapsed under his hands. How can this motley crowd of 10,000 resist my power?
"Send those without moon tattoos on their ankles to the prison quarry in Rabbit Bowl and have Moria treat them well."
Luo Wen instructed the two of them.
The moon tattoo on the ankle is the symbol of the Kozuki family's samurai.
This was the mark made by the samurai of the Kozuki family eighteen years ago when they hid among the people.
Luo Wen thought this behavior was stupid. If you want to hide, just hide it. Why do you have to mark it? Isn't this asking for a fight?
"Yes, Commander Lowen."
Huoshaoshan and Flying Squirrel had no objections.
Because this was a plan that had been agreed upon long ago.
Luo Wen stood quietly, watching the two men and the navy move the marchers away one by one, leaving only the samurai of the Kozuki family.
Half an hour later, six thousand marchers were loaded onto carts. They were to spend a week in the quarry prison in Rabbit Bowl, where they would repent and then die of exhaustion.
Only the four thousand unconscious samurai of the Kozuki family and the bodies of Momonosuke and others were left in front of the Shogun's mansion.
The inherent barrier unfolds.
The world changed, and in the blink of an eye, I moved from the open space in front of the general's mansion to a yellow sand battlefield.
"This is the first time I refine the Philosopher's Stone."
Lowen looked at the four thousand warriors and gave a cruel smile.
For the warriors who believed in the spirit of the Kozuki family, Lowen didn't even want to let them work themselves to death in the mines.
Because then they would be so self-satisfied that they would think they were glorious warriors, and that would be disgusting.
Or just destroy it directly, causing both body and soul to suffer.
Immediately, magic power surged in Lowen's body, and a huge magic circle appeared under the four thousand people.
A trace of vitality and soul power was absorbed and condensed by the magic circle, which was the peeling of the origin of life.
The loss of the most essential thing in life is a punishment more painful than lingchi.
The warrior who was stunned by Lowen's domineering color woke up at this moment.
They looked at Lowen, knowing that this man was the source of all the pain.
"You can torture me as you like. This is the glorious way of the samurai!"
"For Kozuki Oden!"
"You damn devil, kill us if you dare!"
"Beast! Devil! I am a warrior!"
The warriors howled with distorted faces.
They were tortured and their ideals were completely thwarted.
At this moment of death, all they could think of was cursing Lowen, trying to cause him some harm.
"You shouted loudly, showing your warrior spirit." Luo Wen didn't care about their insults, and even applauded to encourage them. Then he smiled and said, "Then increase the dosage!"
As he spoke, the output power of the magic circle was amplified twice.
The original punishment of lingchi was turned into the painful punishment of scraping bones.
In an instant, the shouting warriors quieted down, their spirits stimulated to the extreme.
"Ahhh!"
"Dad! Daddy! Daddy!"
"Let me go!"
"Forgive me!"
There was no more cursing, but only screams of pain and endless pleas for mercy.
Pain, the ultimate pain of soul and body.
They couldn't even faint; the pain of their souls being torn apart kept them awake at all times.
Bear all the pain soberly.
It was several times more violent than before, as if the whole person was being chewed alive by the monster and the juice was squeezed out of him.
In an instant, extreme regret filled their minds. They regretted following Kozuki Oden, they regretted being an enemy of Rowan, they regretted being stubborn just now...
All the things about Bushido and Kozuki Oden were thrown aside.
At this moment, there were only three emotions in their minds: regret, pain, and begging for mercy.
"It's not good to be tough."
Lowen said with a sigh.
The original intention was to let them enjoy it longer, but after increasing the intensity, the pain increased and the time became shorter.
Three minutes later, four thousand warriors had been reduced to ashes, and only Momonoriba's body remained on the ground.
In the center of the magic circle, a gorgeous ruby the size of a pigeon egg was floating quietly.
As soon as Luo Wen waved his hand, the ruby flew into his hand.
Just by holding it in his hand, he could sense the powerful vitality and soul power contained in it.
No resentment, no impurities, just pure vitality and soul.
It is equivalent to a blank fragment of the Heroic Spirit, which can be used by anyone.
This alone can extend a person's lifespan by 200 years, or give a person the full strength of an elite lieutenant general.
"I can rub this myself."
Luo Wen just looked at it for a while and then lost interest.
As a complete being who understands the third law, he has infinite magic power and soul, and with the help of knowledge, he can mass-produce such philosopher's stones.
Such things have no effect on him and his heroic spirits.
But looking at the solid ruby, a flash of inspiration came to Lowen's mind.
"If it is used as the basis of currency, it will be so stable that no one can shake it."
Lowen muttered to himself.
His evolving system has fallen into a dormant state, and he doesn't know if he will still take Bailey back when it wakes up again, but it's always better to be more prepared.
Also, the world government currently holds the right to mint currency, so if we were to engage in an economic war with it, it would be very difficult to deal with.
But as long as he establishes his own unique monetary system, both problems can be easily solved.
"This Philosopher's Stone in my hand represents two hundred years of life and the power of an elite lieutenant general."
"If it is divided into 1 pieces, and each piece has a lifespan of 10 year, it is equivalent to 10 billion Baileys and billion new currency. It is a general equivalent that is more valuable than gold."
"As long as there are enough Philosopher's Stones, I can build a currency system based on Philosopher's Stones."
"And it happens that I can make this thing infinitely, and only I can make this thing."
The more Luo Wen thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Currency is generally backed by the credibility of a country.
Bailey has the support of the world government for 800 years and is the most mainstream and authoritative currency in the world.
Money is just paper to the world government, and they can have as much as they want. But to other countries in the world, Bailey is real material. As long as the world government wants, it can print countless pieces of paper to harvest all the material in the world.
By exchanging paper for supplies, the world government would make a fortune, while other countries would suffer huge losses.
Luo Wen had reason to suspect that the tens of billions of Baileys spent by the Celestial Dragons were printed on paper by the World Government. The so-called Heavenly Gold was far from reaching such a scale.
Considering the fact that the bounties of pirates in this world are generally inflated, his guess is very likely.
To avoid chaos in the world caused by the World Government's crazy spending of money when he goes to war with the World Government.
It is quite necessary to establish our own monetary system.
The new currency he was going to issue was based on the Philosopher's Stone and its usable lifespan.
Once such a monetary system is established, it will be unshakably stable.
As long as he builds this monetary system, he can extract Bailey infinitely and reap the world just like the World Government.
The world government should not even think of launching any currency war against him.
On the contrary, we have to worry about being hit by him.
“Issuing currency is a serious matter, so it’s best to discuss it with others first.”
Lowen has already made up his mind to issue a new currency, he just needs to give it some more thought.
Putting the issue of currency aside for the moment, Lowen looked at Momonosuke's body.
Now that everything else has been resolved, it's time to resolve the doubts in his heart.
Why did Momonosuke, Kin'emon and others travel back two years earlier?
As long as you summon Kozuki, everything will become clear.
