The situation of the country war basically wouldn't change much. The most important thing was that Yang Rui wanted to give Wako Uesugi time, using the country war as an opportunity to tidy up his newly obtained territory, captives, and various factions within his jurisdiction.
At the same time, Wako Uesugi also had to deal with his new relationships with the various daimyos, including the two Uesugi families. The child had to re-establish his status as a newly ascended daimyos, moreover the most powerful daimyos in the entire Nihon civilization.
Right now, Wako Uesugi was using a lack of supplies and military power as an excuse to have the various daimyos and powerful clans participating in the country war fork out money and manpower. Naturally, it was very difficult for these people to respond. Almost all of them were using methods of stalling, unwilling to take any action.
Meanwhile, this was precisely the result that Wako Uesugi wanted to see. He wanted to borrow the opportunity of the various daimyos and powerful clans slacking off to maintain a stalemate with Yang Rui's troops. At the same time, he also focused most of his energy on internal affairs.
Yang Rui spent another game day's time, using the transformation mask to hide his identity, heading to Wako Uesugi's place to meet with him. Right now, Wako Uesugi was also facing quite a few problems that needed to be resolved.
Among them, taking over the territory under his jurisdiction was relatively easy. Wako Uesugi had enough military power to match the territory under his jurisdiction. Even though there were quite a few problems in various areas, they weren't too big of a problem.
As for the child's relationship with the other daimyos, it was much more troublesome.
Wako Uesugi could be considered to have achieved success in the daimyos' Shangluo storyline, his reputation and prestige rising day by day. Moreover, Wako Uesugi had practically become the role model in the country war against Yang Rui and the other Three Kingdoms troops, similarly earning quite a bit of reputation. As a result, the child was like the sun in the sky among the daimyos in the Nihon civilization, almost no one could compare to him.
Even so, the various daimyos, powerful clans, and other local powers were already in a situation where they each governed their own affairs. Even the shogunate couldn't do anything, let alone a newly ascended daimyos like Uesugi Kenshin.
As a result, from the start, Wako Uesugi had placed his attention on the surrounding daimyos, mainly the Takeda clan of Kaifei, as well as the two Uesugi clans of Echigo.
The Takeda clan of Kaifei was almost destined to become an enemy, so Wako Uesugi didn't have much contact with them apart from being on guard. As for the two Uesugi, Wako Uesugi repeatedly sent emissaries, hoping that they could stand with him on their side to be on the same side, and even possibly even seek a merger..
However, the two Uesugi clans had their own conflicts, and each of them had a higher demand for the Uesugi child. Every single one of them wanted to dominate the entire Uesugi clan, and it was difficult for the relationship between the three parties to progress under the current circumstances.
Moreover, when it came to the treatment of the captives or the recovery of the old powers under their jurisdiction, progress was similarly slow.
The Mogami Clan, Date Clan, and other local daimyos and powerful clans were all taken captive. This was a by-product of Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi's ingenious cooperation. Yang Rui brought away a portion of the captives, while at the same time, he left a portion of the spokespeople for each of the Wako Uesugi clans.
These daimyos and powerful clans were all rescued by Wako Uesugi, so calling them captives wasn't really appropriate. In the child's hands, they were rescued from the same faction, but they had always been under house arrest by Wako Uesugi.
If Wako Uesugi could make good use of these people, then they would undoubtedly be of great help. On the contrary, if they weren't used well, then they might very well become a great hindrance to the child.
It wasn't too difficult for Wako Uesugi to make these powers submit to him and form a subordinate relationship. Among these captives, some had even taken the initiative to recommend the child to be the protector of Yuu and Luao.
However, Wako Uesugi knew very well that these powers' 'words were only based on the situation, and completely different from submitting to him.
Moreover, the foundations of these powers hadn't been completely destroyed. If Wako Uesugi really agreed to their demands, these powers would most likely form a local separatist power. Not only would it not bring much benefit to the child, but it might even become a hidden danger.
Wako Uesugi had a clear understanding of this, so of course, he wouldn't easily fulfill their wishes. He could only continue to keep these people under house arrest and wait for an opportunity to make them submit completely, or after completely dismantling their foundations, he would try to subdue them.
Although there wasn't much progress overall, Wako Uesugi was very good at handling matters. Yang Rui wasn't worried about any trouble.
Two game days later, Yang Rui once again appeared on Shrimp Island by boat and quickly returned to the Three Kingdoms Civilization area through the ancient teleportation circle on the island.
As soon as he returned, he received a number of messages from Xiaohui. Basically, they all had two meanings. First, the exchange rate of game coins to East Sea coins was constantly increasing. Second, the price of goods continued to soar!
Yang Rui had only left the Three Kingdoms Civilization area for a game day, and at this time, the exchange rate of game coins to East Sea coins had soared to 1.3011: 1. In other words, 1.3011 system gold coins were exchanged for one East Sea gold coin.
Even though Yang Rui had expected the exchange rate to increase, such a rapid increase was beyond Yang Rui's expectations.
At first glance, it seemed that the increase in the exchange rate meant that the value of East Sea coins had increased a lot, but at the same time, the price of goods was also rising rapidly. The two were almost synchronized. In the end, the purchasing power of East Sea coins was basically unchanged.
On the other hand, the purchasing power of system gold coins had decreased a lot, and they had indeed depreciated.
Yang Rui, who received the news, was confused. With his understanding of economics and finance, he couldn't figure out the key point. However, he also felt that if this situation was allowed to continue, it was likely to cause unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, Yang Rui immediately sent a message to Xiaohui and quickly teleported to the large auction house in Luoyang City.
"Aiya, brother, why are you only back now?"
"Well, let's talk about the situation first. Solving the problem is the most important thing …"
"You know how to be anxious. If we waited until you came back to deal with it, who knows how high the price of goods would have risen and how high the exchange rate would be! Sister Xiaonan has already helped me deal with it, and it seems to be very effective now … "
Xiaohui complained when she saw Yang Rui, but her expression was very calm.
From her words, Yang Rui gradually understood. It turned out that Chen Xiaonan had given Xiaohui advice, and basically controlled the abnormal changes in the price and exchange rate in time!
In fact, the message that Xiaohui sent to Yang Rui was two or three game days ago. At that time, Yang Rui was in the Japanese civilization's area and couldn't receive it immediately. After Yang Rui returned to the three civilizations' area, these messages were all sent to him.
Because of his habitual thinking, and because Yang Rui was very concerned about the content of the message, he didn't pay attention to the time when the message was sent.
