Chapter 1044: Continuation of the Zhu Rong Plan (3)
Chapter 1044: Continuation of the Zhu Rong Plan (3)
That storm would be inflation.
Back
when he was first learning this, he had found this to be quite
confusing. Why would inflation occur with less dragon jade in the
domestic currency market?
Only after learning about this subject in-depth did he realize that this was because of currency reflux.
Currency
reflux could take place through international trade or national debt,
and that would deal a massive blow on the Cathayan Underworld"s currency
market, which would"ve already shrunk significantly at that point,
thereby creating massive inflation and unimaginable losses in intangible
assets!
Every nation was extremely cautious when it came to manipulating its currency.
Bai
Chengzhou continued, "Once the new energy resource enters the market,
we have to open up currency exchange services so that the rest of the
world can exchange all of the dragon jade we"ve stored. Only then will
they have the dragon jade required to purchase our energy resource."
Only then would the Cathayan Underworld"s dragon jade become the dominant currency on the world market.
"Ideally,
after all of this, the total amount of currency in our nation will
still maintain its current level. However, we"ll have large sums of
dragon jade overseas, and the best way to ensure that those sums of
dragon jade don"t just remain idle would be to open up national trade
right away!"
Qin Ye"s expression changed slightly upon hearing
this. National trade would require all of the Cathayan Underworld"s
ports and cities to open up, and once that happened, the entire world
would be able to see exactly what had become of the Cathayan Underworld.
They would all come to realize that the Fengdu of the past was already gone, and that Everburn had taken its place.
What would the other underworlds think?
The
most infuriating thing to them would be that this impoverished nation
had the most advanced energy resource in the entire world!
The
entire nation would be brightly lit by the new energy resource, and the
light would illuminate the envious faces of all of the foreign
underworld emissaries across the entire world.
The Zhu Rong plan must be implemented...
As
Qin Ye reaffirmed his determination, Bai Chengzhou continued, "When the
time comes, our entire nation will have access to the new energy
resource, and that would be enough to disguise the signs of the fall of
the old Hell. On top of that, we can limit the cities that we open up to
the rest of the world to only our port cities. For example, we can
focus all of our trade on the island of Formosa, transforming it into a
global trade city, and that"ll prevent the rest of the world from seeing
deeper inland into our nation. I think this is the best way to proceed,
and we won"t need to ask the second King Yanluo to remove the Array of
the Nine Gods. All of the other nations will only be able to watch as we
develop within the safety of the array!"
Qin Ye"s eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this. He had failed to consider this as a possible tactic!
The
Kraken was going to be modified into a military fortress to weather the
storm that was the international trade conference and also to stun all
of those hillbillies. However, it wasn"t large enough to hold merchant
ships from all over the world. Ports weren"t just places for ships to
dock, rest and recreation facilities for the sailors on the ships also
had to be provided. The Kraken possessed an enormous body, but it still
wasn"t large enough to accept several hundred cargo ships at once while
also providing facilities for rest and recreation.
However, Formosa could satisfy all of these requirements.
With
an area of 36,000 square kilometers, it was 150 times the size of the
Kraken, which meant that several port cities could be developed on it.
He
immediately cast his gaze toward the several directors of Yin
Construction, upon which he discovered that all of them wore calm and
unflustered expressions, but were frantically taking notes.
The
construction boom sweeping across the entire nation still hadn"t passed
yet, so it was the perfect time to be developing Formosa.
There was massive potential for the real estate industry to grow in the current Cathayan Underworld!
Bai
Chengzhou continued, "As long as we hold second-generation forbidden
arts, in fact, we don"t even need to fully develop them. All we have to
do is tell the world that we have the ability to detonate the forbidden
arts reactor, and that would be enough. With second-generation forbidden
arts acting as protection and with the new energy resource attracting
the attention of the entire world, we"ll be able to export our new
energy resource and its related technology to the rest of the world,
then frantically trade with other nations! The other nations will be
under the opinion that we have to do this in order to recycle our dragon
jade, thereby forming a trade loop to ward off inflation, never would
they guess that we really do need these things! If we only open up
Formosa to the rest of the world, there"s no way they"ll be able to see
through us! Within a century, there will be a good chance for us to
restore the Cathayan Underworld to its former glory!"
His
deafening voice reverberated throughout the entire hall, and all of the
Yin spirits present in this meeting couldn"t help but be swept up by his
excitement.
The resurgence of their nation was imminent.
The
nation had endured far too many hardships. The longest feudal era in
history resulted in the dominance of major clans and a completely
untenable state of affairs. Thus, the second King Yanluo made the bold
decision for the entirety of Hell to ascend to Heaven, and in the wake
of these drastic changes, only now were they finally seeing a glimmer of
hope for a resurgence!
"Directors of Yin Construction," Qin Ye called out.
"Present!"
Qin Ye turned to the directors and instructed, "Prepare all of the best city designers and construction workers."
He
swept his gaze across all of the Yin spirits present as he continued,
"I"ve discussed this with General Zhao and the Harken in the past, and
our plan is to continue keeping all of this a secret. There are still
five and a half years left until the international trade conference is
scheduled to be held..."
His voice trailed off here, but it was clear what the conclusion of his sentence would"ve been.
Five and a half years later, they were going to stun the entire world!
Thus,
during these next five and a half years, all of the basic technological
output, including large numbers of film scripts, scripts for variety
shows, radio towers, etc. All of these things had to be developed.
These
things weren"t difficult to develop. All they had to do was take
blueprints directly from the mortal realm, then search for suitable
substitutes in the underworld. At the very most, it would take a year to
sort out everything. None of the top researchers of the nation would
even have to get involved as this was a project simple enough for less
skilled personnel to complete.
As for the remaining four and a
half years, that would be the time for them to roll out the new energy
resource across the entire nation and usher in a new era for the
Cathayan Underworld!
Six of the eight directors of Yin
Construction were present, and as they exchanged a glance with one
another, all of them could see their own eagerness mirrored in each
other"s eyes.
They had a very happy predicament on their hands. At
the moment, there were countless real estate development businesses all
over the nation, and there were already far too many jobs for Yin
Construction to handle. In a year and a half at most, they would have to
lay down circuitry all over the entire nation, and that project had to
be completed within four years. With the massive influx of workers
required to complete these projects, Yin Construction was going to
become an extremely bloated organization once all of these projects were
finished.
However, this was only to be expected. There was a type
of efficiency known as Cathayan efficiency. If a foreign nation wanted
to construct a road, for example, they would have to hold multiple
parliamentary discussions and face opposition from different parties.
However, this didn"t exist at all in Cathay!
A bridge could be constructed in a month! A hospital could be built overnight!
As
long as the government supplied them with sufficient funding, laying
down circuitry all over the entire nation over the span of four years
wasn"t an issue! This was one of the main advantages of an authoritarian
government system!
After a brief pause, Qin Ye continued, "Tell
them to make all the required preparations, and I want to see the
construction blueprint for the entire island of Formosa within a month,
as well as blueprints for at least 10 ports that comply with
international standards! If everything goes well, our policies will be
inclined toward the construction of Formosa. Do you have the confidence
to complete the construction of 10 ports and 10 cities within four
years?"
The directors took a collective deep breath, following
which one of them replied, "If we can get all of the currently
unemployed netherworldly citizens in our nation to participate in this
project, then it"s possible. On top of that, we also require sufficient
machinery."
"Rest assured, you"ll have all the support you need for the duration of the projects."
The directors exchanged a glance with one another, then nodded firmly in response.
This was a political mission that had to be completed!
"Very
good." Qin Ye nodded before turning to Bai Chengzhou. "In that case,
after the international trade conference, we"ll open up Formosa
immediately. At the same time, we"ll announce that we"ve made big
strides in the Zhu Rong plan."
"The education industry also has to be established," Bai Chengzhou added.
Qin Ye nodded in response, and his mind was already drifting to the prospect of second-generation forbidden arts.
Such
a grand project could only commence once the education industry had
produced several generations of talented personnel, and that would take
at least 30 years.
For projects of this magnitude, even a
powerhouse nation like Usonia in the underworld would only be able to
take on two at the same time at most. Any more than that, and the strain
on the entire national economy would be too great.
The meeting continued, and only after three whole days did the entire meeting conclude.
Every
single step had been discussed in detail, and upon leaving the
conference hall, all of the Yin spirits were feeling utterly exhausted,
but they couldn"t snuff out the flames of excitement in their hearts no
matter what!
Everyone knew how Usonia had risen to be a powerhouse nation in the mortal realm.
The
process of its rise had been dissected and studied countless times, and
it was finally the Cathayan Underworld"s turn to replicate it!
The
sense of mission, excitement, and anticipation in their hearts made it
impossible for them to rest. Instead, they returned to Everburn right
away, rushing back eagerly to their respective departments to relay the
contents of the meeting to their colleagues.
This was a grand plan
for the resurgence of an entire nation! If anyone dared to try and
slack off or do a halfhearted job, then they weren"t going to keep their
jobs for much longer!
In the Yin Mountains Research Center, Qin Ye had also returned to his own room and was drinking some tea.
On a mental level, he was utterly exhausted, but at the same time, he was extremely satisfied and fulfilled.
You know, this King Yanluo job isn"t so bad...
A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked around at the room with a slightly wistful expression.
He
had stuck with his scientists through thick and thin, and next, it was
time to negotiate patent usage rights with the foreign scientists and
register patents on the international level, neither of which were
processes that he had to take part in in person.
This room had
been his office for the past four years, and now that it was time to
return to Everburn, he had to admit that he was a little reluctant to
leave.
However, his reluctance to part with this place was far
outweighed by his eagerness to see what new heights he could take the
Cathayan Underworld to!
The gates to the new era were already
open, and following his return to Everburn, massive changes would sweep
over the entire underworld!
………………………………………………..
Cathayan Underworld, Everburn.
Following
the past few years of development, Everburn had already become the
undisputed center of the Cathayan Underworld. There were many finer
details that were still slightly lacking, but it was a grand and
majestic city, nonetheless.
The city had been planned out very
well in its construction, with countless antiquated buildings stretching
as far as the eyes could see in all directions. Tamed Yin beasts were
drawing carriages through the streets, and the business area was
extremely lively and bustling. A series of cloth flags that were burning
with netherfire were flapping in the wind in the recreation district,
giving it a very vibrant and alluring appearance.
The topography
of Everburn was rather rugged and uneven. It wasn"t quite as rugged as a
mountain city, but it wasn"t far off. Once night fell, netherfire would
light up in all of the well-organized buildings, and even though they
were a little sparse, there was still a sense of prosperity to the city.
They were stars on a clear summer"s night, striking the beholder with
an indescribable sense of peace and harmony.
Of course, the
Cathayan Underworld was still lacking in resources, so only Ashmound and
Everburn had been constructed to this extent. Just like in the major
cities of the mortal realm, there were also countless dream-chasing Yin
spirits who had come to Everburn from all parts of the nation.
At this point, two months had already passed since the final breakthrough in the Yin Mountains.
None of the netherworldly citizens were aware of the monumental development that had taken place over at the Yin Mountains.
Life had to go on, and unless it was something directly related to them, none of the netherworldly citizens were interested.
However, all of a sudden, all of the netherworldly citizens looked up into the sky in unison.
In
the blink of an eye, countless Yin energy screens had appeared out of
thin air, and the Yin spirits who had only recently perished were all
completely rooted to the spot by this astonishing sight.
What the hell is going on?!
That storm would be inflation.
Back
when he was first learning this, he had found this to be quite
confusing. Why would inflation occur with less dragon jade in the
domestic currency market?
Only after learning about this subject in-depth did he realize that this was because of currency reflux.

and that would deal a massive blow on the Cathayan Underworld"s currency

thereby creating massive inflation and unimaginable losses in intangible

Every nation was extremely cautious when it came to manipulating its currency.
Bai
Chengzhou continued, "Once the new energy resource enters the market,
we have to open up currency exchange services so that the rest of the
world can exchange all of the dragon jade we"ve stored. Only then will
they have the dragon jade required to purchase our energy resource."
Only then would the Cathayan Underworld"s dragon jade become the dominant currency on the world market.
"Ideally,
after all of this, the total amount of currency in our nation will
still maintain its current level. However, we"ll have large sums of
dragon jade overseas, and the best way to ensure that those sums of
dragon jade don"t just remain idle would be to open up national trade
right away!"

The
entire nation would be brightly lit by the new energy resource, and the
