How Am I Still Alive?

In fact, Lu Pingan has already noticed that the successful exploration of the world of "Silent Mountain" will bring about a substantial increase in the authority of the official forces.

But no matter how far he thinks, he only thinks of taking advantage of the ever-increasing "revenue" to win over some friendly churches and form a gradual integration of new forces.

At the same time, he borrowed the "right to appoint and remove the righteous gods" and constantly replaced him with his own people, gradually consolidating his authority.

This is already the farthest he can think of. Obviously, he is still far from being a real politician.

Outland is still being explored, what's happening on the ground? That has probably become a secret that no one can trace back. At least in the short period of two months, the righteous gods have changed four more, and the total number has increased by two.

In the past two months, there was fighting outside, and there should be fighting on the ground.

Judging from the results, it is obvious that the official has won a big victory, taking back the "credit currency issuance rights" of other companies, which means that they have obtained the only currency issuance rights.

This has completely cut off the foundation for the independent development of each church.

Lu Pingan thought about it for a while, but there are actually traces to follow. It is nothing more than coercion and lure with "revenues from exploration in outer domains" and "if you are not obedient, you will be obedient".

Come one by one, beat one by one, and then say to the stubborn, "Look, they all joined."

In the end, more pressure is less, and it should be over.

As long as most of the churches of the righteous God give in, other churches will naturally have to follow suit.

The very few who really would rather die than obey should die. Anyway, every year there are stories of righteous gods turning into evil gods, and evil gods have to die every year.

Of course, all of this is a big gamble. If there is an avalanche of exploration in the outer domain, the churches will immediately counterattack, evade the official, and then take over the explorer affairs by themselves, then the official will have no time to turn around.

Although the principle is very simple, every step is like a dance of knives. If you are not careful, it will become a "collective church mutiny", and the success rate is not high no matter how you look at it.

But judging from the results, the official has won, whether it is the exploration of the outer domain or the battle on the ground, they have won an overall victory.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s over, and all churches will stay put. In the big picture politically and historically, struggles are long-term, and collaborations short-lived and fraught with fraud.

They just lost a small round, and now they just follow the general trend and behave honestly.

There will be many small actions in private, and there will definitely be behaviors that bypass the right to issue coins. However, now that the authorities are powerful, they must restrain themselves, and be honest and obedient, at least on the face of it.

To use an inappropriate and easy-to-understand analogy, this is the stage of the land reform subcontracting to households. The village chief said, "Follow me, I will divide the fields for each of your families, and I will lead you to farm and farm to make a fortune." .

Most of the villagers who really have two fields will naturally not contradict the elder village head who has the "right to divide the land" and has policy support. At least in face, he will follow suit. It is also extremely uncomfortable to share the worst work and the hardest work with you.

But if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. With power, you naturally have responsibility and the possibility of being backlashed.

Next, if the village chief can't lead everyone to continue to make a fortune, it is inevitable that he will be obedient and violative, and it is certain that he will be replaced. Rebellion is only a matter of time.

It's just that now is the "honeymoon time", when the old village head of Dongguo official takes the opportunity of everyone to get rich and goes to the countryside to recruit people.

Naturally, at this juncture, he can do whatever he says.

"Not unifying the currency will bring a series of negative effects. Explorers will hold the loot in their hands, and market transactions will become extremely difficult. This is not good for the exploration of the entire Eastern Kingdom."

With the advantage of righteousness, he is naturally good at promoting his own policies.

Even if all the churches know that he has his own small plans, as long as the benefits he can bring are large enough and his authority is useful at this time, they can naturally be implemented.

In particular, the current churches are in chaos with the great changes in the situation in the new era.

The most unbelievable thing is that many senior leaders and backbones of the church are now in the outer domain. They have not responded in time to the official's wooing, suppression, and division.

The "Common Outland Exploration" that was thrown out before is, in a sense, a trap.

There is only one chance for such a "surprise attack". Given the churches a few months, they will re-establish a new offensive and defensive alliance in the chaotic situation.

But for this most important opportunity, the official did not hesitate to choose the most fundamental "right to issue coins". This made the official stand out from many forces and become the most important and core one.

And as long as this "credit currency" is widely recognized by the market, it will naturally fail.

Perhaps, this has been the most important part of the "Nirvana Project" from the very beginning.

Nirvana is not only the "world", but also includes this ancient country that is in the midst of wind and rain.

A weak government may become stronger in the future after taking back its financial and taxation power.

The struggle will be eternal, but the cooperation can also be long-term.

"Is it ten to one for the joint currency and the old credit currency? I mean, it belongs to Mrs. Lin's family. What, it is seventeen to one with Mrs. Lin's family. Is it so valuable? I understand."

The newly issued currency has an unexpectedly high value.

Lu Ping'an's shovel was sold for 700 credits. Although it was equivalent to 70,000 Dongguo coins at the time, the market price was far more than this amount.

After all, you can enjoy church services, teaching, and materials with credit coins, but you may not be able to buy "garden tools" that suit you with money.

These 100 to 1 credits are already worth money, and the new "linked currency" is actually 1700 to 1.

"Is it not open for exchange?"

It may be to avoid impact on the existing financial system, or to limit this currency to the world of extraordinary people. The new joint currency is not linked to the Dongguo currency.

It is only unilaterally exchanged with some church credit coins. Immediately, the church's private credit coins will only decrease, and those church members who hold a large amount of credit coins will naturally be dragged out of the church's inner circulation small world.

Of course, there must still be people who will secretly play small rules and play internal loops, but the premise is not to be discovered, which will naturally reduce the possibility of large-scale application and reduce its impact on the entire society and the market.

"There must be small transactions in the black market, but this time the official method is mainly credit settlement, and the issuance of bearer banknotes is quite restrained. Even if there is a black market transaction, the total amount will not be too large in the short term."

Lu Pingan nodded thoughtfully.

The new currency is only used by people in the extraordinary domain, and in a sense, it can avoid the impact on people's livelihood and industries.

The new currency is directly linked to the old credit currency of various companies in the past, and it is used as an anchor and also becomes a collateral.

On the one hand, it is equivalent to using the assets of the Orthodox Church to provide guarantees for the new currency and become an effective target for its transactions. Only when a currency can buy resources, necessities, and advanced technologies in the market, can the currency have sufficient credibility.

On the other hand, it also broke the inner circle of those churches, tied the economic interests of all churches, at least most of the Orthodox churches, to the official chariot, and became a community of interests in a certain sense.
