Chapter 198 New Currency: Yanhuang Coin

Since the fall of the Ji Dynasty, the whole country has been in chaos, except for the Tianyun Dao, which has been peaceful and prosperous. Not only has it not suffered from war, but every household has surplus food and their lives are becoming more and more prosperous.

No matter how severe the flood outside is, the Tianyun Road remains calm.

Occasionally, when people hear about how dangerous the outside world is and how people are living in poverty, they can only sigh and feel fortunate at the same time.

And today, they finally heard it, they finally had their own banner, Yanhuang.

And I also heard that Yanhuang was going to send troops to pacify the world.

No one objected, in fact everyone had expected it.

After all, Rosen has said that he is a traitor since the first day he started his rebellion.

If a rebel doesn't conquer the world, can he still be called a rebel?

Even the common people did not shy away from saying that they were traitors.

In their eyes, it doesn’t matter whether someone is a traitor or not. Whoever gives them a good life is their boss.

However, the first battle they fought did not even start, as the defenders of the first city, Linchuan, surrendered immediately.

The current garrison and officials of Linchuan City are still officials from the previous dynasty, and it is only a hundred miles away from Tianyun Road.

When they first heard that Tianyun Road was occupied by rebels, they made sufficient preparations for fear that the rebels would attack.

But three years had passed and the rebels from Tianyun Dao had remained silent. The news sent back by the scouts they sent out refreshed their understanding time and time again.

It was not until they personally went to the border city of Tianyun Dao that they believed what the scouts said was true.

These news also reached the ears of the people of Linchuan City, causing more than half of the people in Linchuan City to run to Tianyun Dao to make a living, and the other half of the people were waiting for the rebels of Tianyun Dao to kill them so that they could also become part of the rebels.

Later on, even the defenders and officials had given up. They were only trying to control public security and had stopped collecting taxes. After all, they all knew that as long as the rebels from Tianyun Dao came, the people in the city would simply surrender to them.

If they showed even a little resistance, they would probably be killed as a sacrifice by the angry people.

……

After the Black Evil Legion entered the city, the people of Linchuan City finally understood what it meant to not harm a single person.

The Black Evil Legion was stationed in front of the government office in Linchuan City. They quickly organized to stabilize the people's hearts, distribute supplies, and register the population, without causing any casualties to the civilians in the city.

"Ahem..." The young commander coughed: "At ease, stand still."

The five hundred Black Evil Legion soldiers moved in unison, and there were many civilians watching around. At this moment, they were no longer afraid of the Black Evil Legion, and only curiosity was left.

The young commander said, "The wartime military pay is thirty taels of silver per person, but since there is no real war, there will be no military merit rewards."

Then the young commander began to distribute banknotes to everyone.

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers began to discuss in low voices.

Although the banknotes looked brand new and had a good texture, they were very different from the money they knew, which made them doubt whether these papers could really be used as money.

"These are our Yanhuang's newest money, called Yanhuang Coins, with a maximum denomination of one tael of silver. You can use these coins to buy anything you need in our Yanhuang territory. Of course, the people in the newly occupied areas don't recognize our Yanhuang Coins yet, so you can only buy from the merchants accompanying the army. If you are not used to using Yanhuang Coins, you can also go to the bank to exchange them for silver taels."

The young commander added: "This has been confirmed by our lord himself. Any merchant or individual who refuses Yanhuang currency is our enemy. Well, this month's military pay has been issued. You can go to the merchants accompanying the army to buy what you need."

The soldiers immediately ran to the merchants to buy goods, including tobacco, wine, snacks, and cloth.

These merchants can not only deliver the goods on site, but also be responsible for delivering the goods purchased by the soldiers to their homes.

Soon, these soldiers discovered that paper money was not only easy to use, but also very convenient.

In the past, the military salaries they paid were all heavy silver, which was not only inconvenient to carry but also difficult to collect. Furthermore, it was difficult to accurately define the weight of small pieces of silver.

It is different now. Banknotes of different denominations can be clearly and accurately separated.

After all the money is used up, just roll it up and stuff it into your clothes pocket. It doesn't feel heavy at all and is easy to store and hide.

At the beginning, goods could only be purchased from the merchants accompanying the army.

But gradually, the people of Linchuan City also began to accept paper money.

At first, only one or two merchants tried to accept paper money, and then they immediately used the paper money to buy goods from the merchants accompanying the army, and they successfully bought the goods. Gradually, more and more merchants accepted paper money, and they soon discovered the advantages of paper money. Soon, the people of the entire Linchuan City completely accepted paper money.

So much so that now, if you still pay with copper coins or silver, people will complain and ask why you haven't changed to Yanhuang coins.

The changes in Linchuan City were visible to the naked eye, and then people from nearby towns came here on their own initiative, either to find work or to find out when the Black Evil Legion would come to their side.

It's not just Linchuan City. The Black Evil Legion is spreading out in all directions, divided into large and small groups. For example, in Linchuan City, a region that has a good impression of Yanhuang, there are hundreds of people fighting in the area where the attack is not difficult.

If it is some important city, there will be thousands or even tens of thousands of people going to the battle.

Within half a year, Chuanyundao and Shangyundao fell into Yanhuang's hands.

With the resource supply from Tianyun Road, Chuanyun Road and Shangyun Road also recovered quickly.

At this point, three of the ten kingdoms in the world had fallen into the hands of Yanhuang.

At the same time, it also made all the rebels and vassal kings who set up their own banners in the world re-recognize Yanhuang.

From the moment Yanhuang appeared, he was destined not to be unknown.

Therefore, these forces spontaneously united and launched a joint attack on the three sects of Yanhuang.

But how can agricultural civilization fight against industrial civilization?

When the Maxim machine gun was set up, it marked the end of cold weapons.

The moment the shrapnel hit the ground, the fortified city had lost its meaning.

……

Rosen once again obtained an immortal scripture "Thirty-three Wonderful Methods" from the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine.

This is an immortal scripture of the Heavenly Emperor. The significance of this immortal scripture of the Heavenly Emperor does not lie in the difficulty of its practice, nor in the power of the immortal scripture itself, but in the fact that it is an immortal scripture that can make one become an immortal emperor.

And only one person in the Three Realms can practice it. When the first person practices it, others cannot practice it. Even in an era, only one person possesses this immortal scripture.

Rosen practiced very slowly, but he was sure that he could practice.

Of course, the Jade Emperor in Journey to the West practiced for 2.268 kalpas, each kalpa lasting years, which is equivalent to million years.

This world is not as powerful as the world of Journey to the West. It is estimated that its history is less than ten thousand years at most, so it does not take that long to become a Heavenly Emperor.

The status of the Emperor of Heaven is very special. It is not based on one's cultivation level, but is born out of response.

Rosen also discovered during the practice that no matter how he practiced this immortal technique, he could only get started and there was no progress at all, so Rosen speculated that the correct way to practice this technique was not to practice diligently.
