The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 92 The Golden Wheel of Merit
When Xu Yannan reminded him, the spell in Yang Lu's hands was about to take shape.

Although Yang Lu stopped casting spells immediately, his hands just completed the last handprint of the light blade,

However, a strange situation happened. When the light blade was released, a round of golden light flashed behind Yang Lu, and then the light blade seemed to have taken a big tonic pill, and its outline suddenly grew bigger!
I saw this "Super Light Blade" hit Xu Yannan's protective qi fiercely, and then disappeared out of thin air again.

Although this super light blade is still useless, Xu Yannan's expression is as if he saw a ghost: "Blessed by the mighty power of heaven and earth! Your spell has been blessed by the mighty power of heaven and earth! When did you have the golden wheel of merit?"

Merit represents Kyushu Heaven's recognition of cultivators.

Therefore, by consuming merits, cultivators can grant their spells the power of heaven and earth.

Previously, when the killer of Heyu Pavilion assassinated Li Qingning, he had used this method to increase the destructive power of spells, but this spell would consume one's own accumulation of merit, and unless it was absolutely necessary, a cultivator would not use this method of suppressing the bottom of the box.

However, if a cultivator can cultivate the golden wheel of virtue, then when the cultivator casts a spell, there is a probability of receiving the blessing of the great power of heaven and earth for free. The more the number of golden wheels of merit and virtue, the higher the frequency of the blessing of the great power of heaven and earth, and the greater the power of the blessing.

When Yang Lu just used the super light blade, a golden light flashed behind him, which was the symbol of a golden wheel of merit!

Seeing the vision of the golden wheel blessing, Yang Lu suddenly understood why his cultivation speed was so fast.

In fact, even if he practiced continuously in his sleep for 14 hours last night, with his low-grade water spirit root aptitude, it is impossible for him to cultivate the heaven-level kung fu to the state of drawing qi into the body so quickly.

Now it seems that he can obtain a cultivation speed comparable to the best spiritual root, and this golden wheel of merit has also played an important role!
But the problem is, I don't seem to have cultivated meritorious deeds on purpose!

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce has not been on the right track for a short time. Even if it has accumulated some merits, it should be counted on the head of Li Qingning, the female president of the Chamber of Commerce. A working emperor like Yang Lu, at most, will share a little bit of profit.

But if Li Qingning had the golden wheel of merit, he would have shown off to him a long time ago, how could he have kept silent until now?
When Yang Lu was in a daze, Xu Yannan had already recovered.He stared at Yang Lu, and said his guess: "Could it be that your golden wheel of merit comes from the Lingshi Reserve Bank?"

"Lingshi Reserve Bank?" Yang Lu pointed to himself, a little incredulous.

Xu Yannan didn't speak, but activated his aura slightly, only to see two brilliant golden halos appearing behind him.

Two golden wheels of merit!

Seeing Yang Lu's shocked expression, Xu Yannan explained: "The Lingshi Reserve Bank maintains the stability of Kyushu's economic and financial order, and accumulates a huge amount of merit every moment, which is why monks from all major factions want to enter Lingshi Reserve Bank. My two golden wheels of merit are the results of my 19 years of working in Lingshi Reserve Bank, otherwise I would not have been able to break through to the middle stage of foundation establishment in more than 20 years with mere middle-grade Leilingen qualifications."

Yang Lu immediately complimented: "Master, indeed, has immeasurable merit! But what does it have to do with my golden wheel of merit?"

"Golden wheels of merit and virtue are very precious, not everyone owns even Lingshi Reserve Bank!" Xu Yannan said, pointing to the two golden wheels of merit and virtue on his back, "Ordinary staff of Lingshi Reserve Bank, if they don't do anything Achievement, it takes six to seventy years to barely obtain one golden wheel of merit. The reason why I can have two golden wheels of merit is mainly because I once proposed the concept of [Haiya Composite Price Index], and it has become a spiritual stone reserve bank. One of the important economic indicators compiled."

Yang Lu understood what Xu Yannan meant.

To obtain the merits of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, being a staff member of the Lingshi Reserve Bank is only one aspect.

If the theoretical results created by oneself can be applied to practice by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, they can also gain a lot of merit, even more than the merit accumulated by running errands for the Lingshi Reserve Bank!

Although Yang Lu is not a financial officer of Lingshi Reserve Bank, he has written articles for Lingshi Reserve Bank.

Thinking of this level, Yang Lu couldn't help asking: "Could it be that my article "Analysis of Quantitative Monetary Policy Regulation" has been adopted by Lingshi Reserve Bank?"

Xu Yannan rubbed his chin and said: "That's right. Since this year, the Lingshi Reserve Bank has begun to pilot the currency issuance principle of 'ad valorem issuance', and will no longer set the target for the total amount of Lingshi issued in the next year in advance. This is very likely. It is the direct reason for you to obtain the golden wheel of merit, if this method can really become a practice, you may be able to accumulate a second golden wheel of merit soon!"

Hearing this, Yang Lu finally understood the horror of Lingshi Reserve Bank.There are tens of thousands of cultivators in the entire sea cliff area, and there may only be a few hundred cultivators who can own the golden wheel of merit. However, he just wrote an academic paper for the Lingshi Reserve Bank, surpassing ordinary cultivators by dozens of people. years of accumulation!
Although Yang Lu is only a low-grade spiritual root aptitude, if he has two golden wheels of merit and virtue, and with the assistance of Wei Meng, his cultivation speed can even surpass the top-grade spiritual root genius girl Li Qingning!

Yang Lu rubbed his hands and said, "Then dare to ask Master, can I write a few more working papers for Lingshi Reserve Bank?"

"Can you still write papers of this level?" Seeing Yang Lu treating high-level papers as Chinese cabbage, Xu Yannan was slightly taken aback, and then smiled wryly, "But even if you can still write, the Lingshi Reserve Bank will take care of it." I won’t be with you anymore. President Li’s physical condition does not allow him to continue to chair the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee. It is estimated that the Lingshi Reserve Bank will not resume normal work until the fourth president takes office. But by then, your paper still has If no one sees it, you won’t know, after all, not every president is the head of our Golden Knife Sect.”

Xu Yannan didn't say it clearly, but Yang Lu understood what he meant.The rapid implementation of his academic thesis has a lot to do with Li Qingyang's strong support.

If the new president is hostile to the monks of the Golden Knife Gate, even if Yang Lu's article is written in a hype, it is very likely that it will be deliberately hidden. Without the final article, it is impossible to obtain the merits of heaven!
It is precisely because the Lingshi Reserve Bank has the invisible power of "distributing merits and virtues", that Li Qingyang was able to lead the rise of the entire Golden Knife Sect with a mere Jindan early stage cultivation, and firmly suppress Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect and the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. .

This is the power of the masters of the cultivation world!
Now that I think about it, Li Qingyang's ability to implement Yang Lu's theory so quickly was obviously not a temporary decision. He should have known the concept of price-based currency quantity regulation in advance, and was ready to implement it at any time. The reason for the delay He didn't bring it up for a long time, probably because he used this theory to pave the way for Xu Yannan after his death.

Even without Yang Lu, there is a high probability that Li Qingyang would have taken the initiative to bring up this matter at the last monetary policy meeting, but unexpectedly, this advanced monetary policy theory was brought forward by Yang Lu through Xu Yannan's channel.

The two sides had inadvertently cooperated in a tacit understanding, but the merits in it were cheaper than Yang Lu, the initiator.

Hearing Xu Yannan take the initiative to mention the matter of the fourth president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, Yang Lu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is there any consensus within the Wuliang Sword Sect regarding the candidate for the new president of Lingshi Reserve Bank?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me?" Hearing this question, Xu Yannan's face suddenly changed, and he slammed the document on the table again, "Why did Li Qingning meet Fang Jiancai again yesterday? Even if she can't see it, don't you? If you don’t come out, going to meet Fang Caicai now, will it add too many variables to Master’s plan?”

Yang Lu was stunned.

Fang Jian only approached Li Qingning to reform the social security system. What does this have to do with the new president of Lingshi Reserve Bank?
Thinking of this, a light flashed in Yang Lu's mind.

Yang Lu suddenly remembered that he had read an article in "Cultivation Finance Weekly".

The article mentioned that the concept of a new generation of self-cultivation social security system was first proposed by Li Qingyang, the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, and he hoped that Lingshi Reserve Bank would lead the reform.

However, Lin Jianxing, head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, forcibly rejected this proposal, and demanded that the Wuliang Sword Sect lead the matter alone. Because of this, Li Qingyang voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the leadership of Zhongzhou's social security system reform.

Since then, the reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou Cultivation has turned into a factional struggle within the Wuliang Sword Sect.

At that time, Yang Lu was still struggling for food and clothing, and he didn't get involved in the management of Qingning merchants, so he didn't think about it carefully.But thinking about it now, Li Qingyang's proposal itself was very suspicious.

After all, the Lingshi Reserve Bank has too much power and is feared by Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect. This matter is almost an open secret, and even ordinary drinkers in Haiya City can express a few personal opinions on this.

The Lingshi Reserve Bank has already controlled the massive merits brought by maintaining the financial stability of Kyushu. If the Lingshi Reserve Bank is allowed to obtain the merits in the social security field of Zhongzhou, the situation of the Wuliang Sword Sect will undoubtedly be even more embarrassing.

Therefore, Lin Jianxing forcibly vetoed Li Qingyang's proposal, almost without guessing.

With Li Qingyang's political wisdom, it is impossible not to think of this point, but Li Qingyang still threw out this proposal, could it be that...

Thinking of this, Yang Lu immediately asked: "Could it be that the new generation of self-cultivation social security system itself is a decoy deliberately thrown out by President Li Qingyang, and its real purpose is to provoke factional struggles within the Wuliang Sword Sect?"

Xu Yannan did not answer this question directly, but said in a deep voice: "Master's deadline is approaching, and there is an urgent need to plan a way out for the Golden Knife Gate and Kyushu's monetary policy. Although Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, has a high level of cultivation, he only knows the hardships of closed doors. Xiu, he knows very little about sect management and cultivation economics, if he is allowed to control the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the future of Zhongzhou will be worrying!"

It was not the first time that Yang Lu heard someone express similar concerns. When he first met Han Fulai, Han Fulai also expressed almost the same opinion.

Han Fulai even specifically mentioned that many large Zhongzhou chambers of commerce, including the Luojia chamber of commerce, have recently begun planning to transfer assets outside Zhongzhou, and the Haiya chamber of commerce has received several similar requests in succession.

This act of voting with their feet has fully expressed the distrust of the "post-Li Qingyang era" by the capitalists in Zhongzhou.

It is also because of Lin Jianxing's reputation of being "great and talented", that he has been the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect for so many years, but he can only control such a powerful economic department as the Cultivation Financial Supervision Committee.

Although Xu Yannan didn't answer his question directly, Yang Lu already knew that he guessed right this time.

Li Qingyang threw out the picture cake of a new generation of self-cultivation social security system in order to arouse the internal struggle of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the more intense the internal struggle of the Wuliang Sword Sect, the more political chips Li Qingyang has as an outsider.

Just imagine, if Li Qingyang used the new generation of self-cultivation social security system as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Wuliangjian faction's concession on the new president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, how would the Wuliangjian faction react?

Considering the overall interests of the sect, whether it is Lin Jianxing, Mo Yunlan, or Cheng Shuying, whoever takes the lead in reforming the social security system for the new generation of cultivators will not affect the overall interests of the Wuliang Sword Sect.As long as the reform is successful, these merits will definitely rot in the pot of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of internal distribution.

But looking at the issue from the perspective of the personal interests of the three Nascent Soul cultivators, the situation is completely different.

Although this part of merit belongs to the Wuliang Sword Sect, whoever can obtain the right to distribute merit in the field of social security will gain more followers, enjoy a greater right to speak, and have more resources for practice.

This is like some state-owned enterprises with a problematic corporate governance structure. No matter who is the boss, it has no impact on the company. Even a dog on a leash can still be the chairman.But who will be the boss is of great significance to the boss himself.In order to take the position of boss, many people even betrayed the overall interests of the company.

Just as the boss of a state-owned enterprise cannot represent a state-owned enterprise, Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword School, cannot represent the Wuliang Sword School.

People who are obsessed with grand narratives always like to abstract an organization (country/civilization) into a person, and then the whole society makes decisions just like human beings, and carries out various reforms or actions for a certain goal. Considering the specific thoughts of individuals and members of this organization, it seems that these individuals and members are just NPCs.

But human desires are infinite, and no organization can satisfy all the desires of individuals within it. Therefore, the core contradiction in human society is precisely the contradiction between individual interests and collective interests.

Collective decision-making regardless of personal interests will inevitably suffer the strongest backlash. The fierce internal fighting among the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect is the most typical example.

Faced with the strong pressure from the Wuliang Sword Sect, Li Qingyang just threw out a piece of cake, which caused a mess among the top management of the Wuliang Sword Sect, which fully demonstrated the political wisdom of the old president.

In order to win the support of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect will definitely show favor to Li Qingyang, and the bargaining chip that Li Qingyang wants is also a clear card on the table, which is the nomination of the next president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank right!
Under such circumstances, Li Qingning only cooperated with Fang Jian, which undoubtedly added obstacles to Li Qingyang's plan.

Li Qingyang can have a detached status because of his relatively neutral status, and if Li Qingning and Fang Jiancai hook up together, it will definitely make interested people speculate on Li Qingyang's tendencies.

Now that Miss Li has taken the blame for her inner strength and mentality, Yang Lu really can't bear to let her reputation continue to be victimized.

Thinking of this, he didn't make an excuse, but admitted his mistake frankly: "It is true that the disciple didn't think carefully. I guarantee that I will handle this matter properly, and it will definitely not cause more serious consequences."
