When Chen Xiaonan talked about profiting from the Wyvern Coin, he meant to take advantage of its decline to buy the Wyvern Coin. Then, he would think of a way to save the Wyvern Coin, and the profits would come out.
The devaluation of the Flying Dragon Coin caused Yuan Shu to go bankrupt. At the same time, it also caused a loss of circulation. Yuan Shu was not the only victim. All the people who had Flying Dragon Coin in their hands were implicated.
Yang Rui wasn't very clear about this professional knowledge, but Chen Xiaonan was a trader who judged the situation. He had always been paying attention to the changes in the Wyvern Coin.
The first person to mention the Wyvern Coin to Yang Rui wasn't Chen Xiaonan, but the two Concubines, Burning Snow and Rose.
Previously, Burning Snow and Rose had ignored Yang Rui's advice and stayed behind. They became Concubines and didn't participate in various activities like other players. Instead, they spent most of their time practicing their mental cultivation techniques.
In addition, Burning Snow and Rose also paid attention to various matters in the game. Most of them were related to the game's development and trends, including the Wyvern Coin.
When Blazing Snow and Rose came to find Yang Rui, Yang Rui suddenly felt a headache because he couldn't find a suitable way to interact with the two girls. He didn't think that the two girls would bring up the matter of the Wyvern Coins, and from Yang Rui's perspective at that.
Although Yang Rui couldn't be sure if the two women had cooperated with Dragon Soul and other player organizations regarding the Wyvern Coin, Burning Snow and Rose's analysis was more realistic. It seemed that they were sincerely considering Yang Rui's situation.
Therefore, Yang Rui asked Chen Xiaonan about the Wyvern Coin, but the answer he received was that it wasn't the right time yet. At the same time, Yang Rui also received a lot of analysis.
The two most important points were the analysis of who the Wyvern Coin would take over, and the second was the analysis of when the Wyvern Coin would take over.
First, there were many restrictions on the issuance of coins. For example, Yang Rui was a King with a different surname, while Yuan Shu was an independent Emperor. Only then did they have the opportunity to issue coins independently.
Not every faction had the qualifications to issue coins independently. Similarly, not every faction had the ability to take over the Wyvern Coin.
Yuan Shu's Wyvern Coin had a total of 1.2 billion Wyvern Coins. Compared to Yuan Shu's territory and the economic circulation within his jurisdiction, it was already too much.
If they wanted to take over the 1.2 billion Wyvern Coins issued by Yuan Shu, they would have to have a corresponding circulation as a foundation. Or else, they wouldn't be able to play after taking it over.
Therefore, in Chen Xiaonan's analysis, he wasn't worried that large player organizations would snatch the Wyvern Coin. The commercial circulation in the game wasn't enough to support such a large currency system. At the very least, it was still risky.
Other factions might have the corresponding strength, but there weren't many that were willing to take over the Wyvern Coin to save Yuan Shu. This also involved the possibility of Yuan Shu continuing to issue coins.
This involved the second aspect of Chen Xiaonan's analysis — the problem of when to take over the Wyvern Coin.
If they couldn't form an effective restriction and the Wyvern Coin was revived, no one could guarantee that Yuan Shu wouldn't use the Wyvern Coin's leverage to gain benefits again even though Yuan Shu had been frightened once.
When that happened, the Wyvern Coin's circulation would be expanded again, and the bubble would only get bigger and bigger. No matter who took it, there would be a huge risk because the handle of this weapon was still in Yuan Shu's hands.
Therefore, according to Chen Xiaonan's analysis, the best time to take over the Wyvern Coin would be when Yuan Shu was at the end of his road. Moreover, the Wyvern Coin would depreciate even more at that time.
Finally, Chen Xiaonan pointed out a series of potential risks. Would the Wyvern Coin that had been issued still exist after Yuan Shu's influence was eliminated? Would it still have value if it existed? Would anyone be able to obtain the authority to issue Wyvern Coins and truly take over the Wyvern Coin?
Even Yang Rui, who had also issued the East Sea Coin, didn't receive any relevant information about the transfer or termination of the issuance qualification. Therefore, he wasn't clear about the problems with the Wyvern Coin.
Therefore, when it came to taking over the Wyvern Coin, or even just speculating, there would be a certain amount of risk. Moreover, it wasn't the best time to make a move.
Putting aside the matter of Yuan Shu's Wyvern Coin, although he was facing financial bankruptcy, it wasn't that he couldn't maintain it.
Especially after Yang Rui used the merchant alliance's channel to provide Yuan Shu with the two channels of "human-item" and "land-item" transactions. Although Yuan Shu lacked money, he was still able to exchange for the goods he needed. For the time being, there wasn't much of a problem.
The so-called "land-item" transaction was actually still an issue surrounding the few counties in Xu Province. It was a new exchange method that Yang Rui provided for Yuan Shu after the "human-item" transaction.
Previously, Yuan Shu had promised to withdraw his troops from Xu Province and even issued an imperial edict to withdraw his troops. However, because Yang Rui didn't release his captives, Yuan Shu delayed the process of withdrawing his troops from Xu Province.
In order for Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops from Xu Province as soon as possible, Yang Rui wanted to maintain Yuan Shu's existence in disguise. Yang Rui promised Yuan Shu through Wei Xiu 'er that as long as Yuan Shu withdrew from a town, he would receive the corresponding amount of goods as compensation.
As for the places that Yuan Shu withdrew from, they had to be screened and calculated by the merchant alliance. The territory couldn't be destroyed, the Liegeman couldn't be plundered, and the player group couldn't be retained. This was to ensure that the places that Yuan Shu withdrew from were normal.
Otherwise, if Yuan Shu's subordinates had first plundered the territory and then handed it over, even if Yang Rui had taken over the territory, it would have been devastated, which would have caused difficulties for the future development of the territory.
Under such a two-pronged guarantee, Yuan Shu used the merchant alliance as an umbilical cord to provide for him and struggled to survive. As a result, the consumption of the surrounding powers also continued.
Yang Rui's goals during the prelude to Yuan Shu's proclamation included driving Liu Bei's forces out of Xu Province, weakening Cao Cao's forces as much as possible, restraining and consuming Yuan Shao's forces, and so on.
Yang Rui also didn't want to delay the plot before Yuan Shu became emperor indefinitely. In fact, Yang Rui was already actively preparing the various materials and personnel needed for the third large-scale system storyline.
The most important things were the preparation of warships, transport ships and other ships, the preparation of special forces, equipment, food and other combat tools, and logistics.
The other task was the repair of key checkpoints, ferries, and cities. Using the captives Cao Cao and Yuan Shu captured, Yang Rui had repaired almost all the ferries and cities along the Yellow River in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, as well as the key checkpoints and cities in Chenliu County and Bohai Kingdom.
At the same time, just a few days after the royal wedding, Yang Rui had started the war against Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the others. While he was exhausting them, he was also actively contacting the other forces in the region. He wanted to make friends with the distant forces and attack the nearby forces to better contain Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chen Gong, Liu Bei, and the others.
As for Yang Rui himself, he couldn't deny that he coveted the land of gentleness. However, he didn't neglect the cultivation of his Neigong.
The characteristics of the Soaring Dragon Neigong Cultivation Method once again showed itself. Although Yang Rui didn't follow the shortcut of the Human Cauldron Method, the improvement of the Soaring Dragon Neigong Cultivation Method was obvious after the wedding.
In a total of one month in the game, Yang Rui's Soaring Dragon Neigong Cultivation Method, [Elementary Soul], had successfully broken through level 1 that had been stuck at level 2 for a period of time. Moreover, it had rapidly increased in speed and was nearing 100% of level 2. This kind of progress could be considered very fast.
Thus, in the depths of Yang Rui's heart, he used the Soaring Dragon Neigong Cultivation Method, [Soul] as an excuse to stay in Linzi City. He was prepared to temporarily not leave Linzi City until he broke through to level 2.
At the same time, Yang Rui also did a count of the congratulatory gifts he received from the wedding. It could be said that his harvest was quite bountiful. In total, he received more than 500 soul-type items. Among them, although the gifts from the internal members of the merchant alliance were of a lower grade, they accounted for more than half of the total.
This could be considered as an additional benefit from the merchant alliance that Yang Rui had started and operated.
In addition, the large player organizations led by Dragon Soul also sent many good things, such as various territory scrolls. To Yang Rui, these were all good things that were hard to come by. This was especially true for the Origin of Civilization Mission Scroll that Dragon Soul sent. From the material and color, one could tell that it wasn't a low grade item.
Yang Rui had received similar mission scrolls before. For example, the Origin of Civilization Mission Scroll that was made of an orange brocade box. However, it wasn't as good as the Origin of Civilization Mission Scroll that was sent by Dragon Soul this time.
This time, the Origin of Civilization Scroll that Dragon Soul personally sent as a congratulatory gift was stored in a purple-gold brocade box. It seemed to be of a much higher grade. Naturally, the contents of the scroll wouldn't be too bad.
Yang Rui even guessed that if he opened this scroll, coupled with the clues he had obtained from the Origin of Civilization Main Storyline Mission, he might even be able to directly activate the final Origin of Civilization Mission.
Just as Yang Rui was considering whether to open and complete the Origin of Civilization Mission first or wait until the end of the third large-scale system storyline, Wako Uesugi in the Nihon Civilization Region sent him a message.
Wako Uesugi asked Yang Rui to make time to go to the Nihon Civilization Region. He said that his wedding had been decided, and the shogunate had agreed to issue an edict for him.
After Yang Rui obtained the right to trade with the Nihon Civilization Region, the information channels had become relatively smooth. However, it would take at least 10 game days to send a message back from the Nihon Civilization Region under normal circumstances. It would be good if he could shorten the time by half in an emergency.
Therefore, although Yang Rui received the news from Wako Uesugi, he might not be able to make it in time.
Yang Rui didn't expect that Wako Uesugi would be able to settle his wedding so quickly. At this time, Yang Rui had only completed his wedding a month ago.
Wako Uesugi learned from Yang Rui's two royal weddings. He also wanted to find out the best historical generals from his marriage partners. Of course, he also had the purpose of forming alliances with other forces through marriage.
Yang Rui was still very concerned about Wako Uesugi's wedding. Moreover, Wako Uesugi had made it clear that he needed him for the wedding. After Yang Rui received the news, he packed a few gifts and immediately went to the Nihon Civilization Region.
However, when Yang Rui rushed to the Nihon Civilization Region and saw Wako Uesugi, it was already the third game day after Wako Uesugi's wedding. Yang Rui didn't make it to the wedding.
"My lord, you're finally here. How could you miss my wedding day? Hehehe … "
As she grew older, the child Uesugi had already grown into a young lady in her twenties. However, not only was the child not restrained because of this, she became more and more direct in front of Yang Rui.
"I've already had a wedding. Now I have to give myself to my lord …"
Originally, Yang Rui wanted to give the gifts and say a few words to the child. He didn't expect to be hugged by her. Yang Rui now understood that Wako Uesugi was in a hurry to get married because she was in a hurry for him.
Previously, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, and others intended to add Wako Uesugi to the list of royal weddings again. However, considering the child's role and influence in the Nihon Civilization Region, she was finally removed from the list.
At this moment, seeing Wako Uesugi's reaction, Yang Rui just shook his head with a wry smile and went along with the child's intentions.
This was not the only thing that surprised and made Yang Rui smile bitterly. After the child and Yang Rui were bored for a day, the child told him another purpose of inviting Yang Rui this time – to be the guest groom!
Within a day of the game, Wako Uesugi had already explained the situation of her marriage to Yang Rui in detail. This time, the shogunate general bestowed marriage, plus Wako Uesugi's own initiative to propose marriage, he married a total of six wives and concubines.
Including Uesugi Ayhime, Oda Ashi, Maeda Matsu, Ii Naoto, Mochizuki Chiyo, and Ikuma Yoshino.
Among them, Oda Ashi, Maeda Matsu, Ii Naoto, and Mochizuki Chiyo were all recommended by Yang Rui to Wako Uesugi. He didn't expect the child to be able to get all of them.
The remaining two were also not simple. Uesugi Ayhime was the candidate selected by Wako Uesugi to marry the two Uesugi clans. In the historical facts, she was Wako Uesugi's half-sister in name, so she was a lot of help to the child.
Ikuma Yoshino was also famous. In the historical facts, she became a widow very early. Later, she was obtained by Oda Nobunaga and became his concubine. He doted on her very much.
This time, Wako Uesugi was able to take action early and snatch Ikuma Yoshino, which made Yang Rui admire the child's vision and ability.
Because the marriage rules in the Nihon civilization were similar to that of the Three Kingdoms civilization, although Wako Uesugi took the first step to win back six wives, if he wanted to use them, he had to make sure that the marriage was really established.
And Wako Uesugi, as a woman, naturally couldn't do that, and from the beginning, she had the idea of Yang Rui. In fact, she was killing two birds with one stone, for Yang Rui's "benefit". This was why the child found Yang Rui to be her substitute.
Yang Rui had the soul of the transformation mask, so it wasn't difficult for him to do this.
