Chapter 263 The Importance of the Right to Issue Currency
Chapter 263 The Importance of the Right to Issue Currency
The Rakshasa woman and the Bull Demon King were like ducks hearing thunder, and they both revealed clear and stupid looks in their eyes.
Wen Rui didn't care whether they understood or not, and continued to explain: "Blood food is a rigid demand for the demons and monsters. The blood food production capacity in my territory has long been in excess, and I can use it to issue currency and establish a new financial order."
"Gradually, demons will no longer use meat coins only to exchange for blood food, but will use it as a general equivalent to exchange for all goods with other demons."
"As long as I can guarantee that I can provide enough blood food at any time, I won't be afraid of a massive run by the demons holding meat coins. When I want to get something from the demons, I just need to print meat coins."
The Rakshasa woman seemed to understand and asked, "You mean, you can exchange some waste paper for the treasures of the demon clan? Do you think the paper you printed is a demon crystal?"
"The Earth Realm has its own customary currency, which is the magic crystal. Why should we use the flesh coins you privately created as money?"
The Bull Demon King also questioned, "The demons trade with each other using spirit stones. Now that spirit stones are becoming less and less, we can trade with gold if that's the worst that can be done."
"Can gold be eaten? Magic crystals and spirit stones are only useful for cultivation, they can't fill your stomach, right?"
Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The biggest difference between the demons and humans is that humans can survive by fasting and eating wind and dew, but the demons and monsters will become weak and go crazy if they don't eat blood."
At this point, he looked at the demon and the devil and said, "As demons, you can tell us from your own experience. Have you ever eaten a human because you were too hungry?"
"Well, I was still young then, and I needed nutrition to grow, and humans were easy to catch..." The Rakshasa woman's eyes wandered with guilt.
The Bull Demon King said frankly, "I can't help it. I can't gain strength without eating meat. I didn't know that eating people would create karma and I would suffer retribution sooner or later."
"You have all reached the immortal level now, but you still need to eat blood regularly. I heard that there is a great sage of the Dapeng bird demon tribe in the Lion Camel Ridge of Xiniu Hezhou. He eats dragon meat for every meal. If he can't get blood, he will go crazy and eat people."
Wen Rui continued, "Even if the demons hoard gold, they can't use it to trade cattle and sheep with humans. To you, gold is just a decorative metal with beautiful color but soft texture."
"Spiritual stones and magic crystals may be useful, but they are not indispensable. Without them, the worst that can happen is that my cultivation progress will stagnate, but I won't go crazy with hunger."
The Bull Demon King and the Rakshasa Woman thought about it and nodded slowly.
"Do you really raise so many cattle and sheep?" The Rakshasa woman said, "Just as you said, if all the demons holding meat coins come to you to exchange for blood food, and you can't provide them at once, wouldn't the meat coins be lost? Who would still exchange real gold and silver for your waste paper?"
"Hey, if you don't have some refrigeration technology, meat will go bad if you store it."
Wen Rui chuckled and said, "If a demon with a large amount of meat coins can't eat all the meat in a few days, it will just become a pile of rotten and smelly meat. Who would be so stupid as to exchange all the meat coins in their hands?"
"If there really are such fools, or if some people are trying to wage financial warfare against me and deliberately squeeze my bank, I am not afraid."
Wen Rui said this and snapped his fingers, and a white misty figure appeared beside him.
"In addition to being used in battles, the Netherworld Shadow ability is also a great way to preserve freshness. Under absolute zero, meat can be stored almost indefinitely without spoiling. Apart from me, who else in the Three Realms has this low-energy, sustainable preservation technology?"
"The meat produced by the ranches in the Jinling Sect's territory every year far exceeds the sales volume. Now the frozen meat stored in the cold storage has piled up into a small mountain, and we don't know how to digest it."
"What's more, the Marquis of Qin wants to use his troops against the Western Qiang. He has already agreed with me that he will exchange the occupied Western Qiang territory with me for chariots. The vast grasslands of Western Qiang will become my pastures. In the near future, the livestock production capacity will be further improved."
"At worst, I also have special heaven-cutting technology, which is cloning and biological rapid petri dishes. Factory-produced fast-growing genetically modified livestock may taste worse than naturally grown ones, but it is just right for dealing with meat currency runs."
The Bull Demon King said in disbelief: "My dear brother, I knew you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be this rich. But since you already have so much meat, why don't you just exchange it for meat when you want something? Why bother issuing 'meat coins'?"
The Rakshasa woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "Oh, you ugly ox, you are really stupid. I heard that my little brother is planning something big, but with your intelligence, I'm afraid you can't understand it."
She thought and said, "If all the demons recognize the flesh coins he prints and use his flesh coins as money, then he is not only the Demon King, but even better than the Demon King. If anyone dares to disobey him, he only needs to print some flesh coins and spread them out, and countless demons will serve him and fight for him."
"You can command the world by printing some waste paper?" The Bull Demon King still couldn't understand. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You humans are cunning. If I help you, will it harm the demon race? Would it be considered aiding and abetting the evil?"
"Don't use random words. What do you mean by aiding and abetting the tyrant? What I did back then was called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! I don't like to hear that word!"
Wen Rui said with a straight face: "If I don't provide blood food, the cattle and sheep will not emerge from the ground by themselves. The demons will be so hungry that they can only eat people and create karma. That is the way to annihilate the whole race and bring disaster."
"Issuing meat coins is equivalent to providing a stable and long-term blood and food supply channel for the demons and monsters. As long as they are willing to work, they will never starve to death. Is this harming the demons? This is saving the demons!" "That's right..."
The Bull Demon King nodded and said, "When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can vaguely comprehend some of the laws of heaven. The rise of the human race is a natural trend. The demons that dare to eat humans and create karma are either foolish and ignorant, or they are so bold that they live for a short period of time without caring about the consequences and retribution in the future."
He glanced at the Rakshasa woman and continued, "The reason why Tiantian and I are in such a predicament is that we have realized that we cannot harm the human race to satisfy our selfish desires. Even with such a high level of cultivation, we are still restricted."
"Otherwise, with our abilities, we can occupy a human country, enslave the human race, and devour the human race. Wouldn't it be as glorious as we want?"
"That's right, but you won't be able to enjoy it for a few years. At most, you'll just satisfy your desire and then die. The Nine Heavens Demon Slayer is waiting for such a big demon to emerge so that he can use it to improve his performance."
Wen Rui said bluntly and mercilessly: "Since you mentioned the cannibalism industry, I have to talk about an important premise for issuing meat coins, which is also an important reason why I want you to join me. I need your help to complete my second plan."
"Second plan?"
"How can we help you?"
Wen Rui said solemnly: "With your reputation and strength, establish an iron rule among the demons and monsters. From now on, you are not allowed to eat humans!"
"Once a demon breaks the law, at the very least, we will impose economic sanctions and have his meat currency revoked. At the worst, we will rise up and attack him, and resolutely kill him."
"Isn't this too biased towards the human race?" The Rakshasa woman frowned and said, "The demons are violent and bloodthirsty by nature. Even if you are the Demon King, you can't force them not to kill."
"I didn't say you can't kill people. I don't care about killing people, I just don't care about eating people."
Wen Rui said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, the demons will be full after eating people, and who will be willing to use the meat currency I print?"
"The demons eating people is too harmful to my business. It directly affects the sales revenue of blood food and shakes the foundation of the issuance of meat currency. Therefore, we must take drastic measures to ban it."
His eyes were indifferent, and he said coldly: "Of course, when we publicize it to the outside world, we have to borrow some words from the Heavenly Court and Western religions, just saying that eating people creates karma and will be punished by heaven."
"Using cannibalism and non-cannibalism as the boundary, we divide the monsters into different groups, create opposition, and divide them."
"Prohibiting demons from eating humans should be said to be to avoid the killing disaster brought down by the heavens, a righteous act to maintain world peace, and a universal value of great compassion, so as to win the support of the heavens and Western religions.
"When necessary, I can also use my connections to report to the Heavenly Court and the Western Church, and ask them to send troops to help us wipe out those man-eating monsters and demons."
"By the way, do you have any enemies of the two demon tribes? Frame them as man-eating beasts and put them on the list of sanctions and reports."
"Kill all the cannibalistic demons and their tribesmen, exterminate them completely and eradicate their roots to prevent future troubles.
"Completely eliminate the cannibal gene from the demon and monster races through human intervention!"
"When the only ones left in the Three Realms are the demons who spend the flesh money I print, everything will be under my control."
"In addition to making money, we can also accumulate virtue and eliminate karma, gain the favor of the Heavenly Court and the Western Church, eliminate dissidents, and control the two races of demons behind the scenes. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone.
“Hehehe…”
When talking about this, Wen Rui's eyebrows danced with joy, his mouth opened wide to reveal his sharp white teeth, and his smile was a little sinister.
After hearing Wen Rui's words, Bull Demon King and Rakshasa Woman shuddered at the same time.
"Is this a compassionate heart, or a heart of stone?"
"No matter what kind of heart it is, it's dark enough, even darker than the heart of a demon!"
A demon and a devil muttered in a low voice.
