Chapter 199: A Little Shock to Douluo Continent
Of course, it was not just Lin You and Huo Yujian who received the invitation. There were core disciples from all grades in the outer courtyard, such as Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan and others.

It’s just that because of the two-day assessment, each of them finished at a different time, so naturally the time they went was also very different.

They were almost at Shrek City, and Lin You turned the invitation over.

A gold-plated map appeared on it, indicating the specific location of the Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City.

I don't know what the dean was thinking when Shrek City was first built. Why did he take such a long detour? To enter Shrek City, he had to start from the east gate and go around to the north gate.

I can't stand it any longer.

Huo Yuzhe actually has a different opinion on this.

"In fact, I think that for the strong men in the academy, they can easily rise from the academy and walk straight from the high altitude to the city. It will only take a few minutes. If they encounter danger in Shrek City, the teachers can quickly provide support, and there is no need to run back to the attacker."

Having said this, she nodded in agreement, feeling that she was really smart.

Lin Yu was speechless. Yuzhi, oh Yuzhi, don’t you know that when Lao Huo was attacked here, he really had to run back by himself? Although those strong men had been watching from afar, they were watching the show on purpose to train students in actual combat. It was incredible.

They are only concerned with enforcing the school rules that say you are a mediocre person if you don't dare to cause trouble, which completely puts the safety of the students in danger.

If there is an enemy soul master who has a concealed instantaneous soul guide or an offensive soul skill that prevents the victim from reacting and kills him directly, then the group of high-level people watching the show will at most become furious and kill all the attackers, and then offer condolences to you, saying that you bravely defeated multiple opponents and met your fate.

After all, isn't this kind of thing rarely going wrong?

In particular, he criticized a level 98 Titled Douluo whose name was unknown.

Shrek City was huge. As soon as the two entered the north gate, Huo Yuzhe exclaimed in a low voice, "So many profiteers! Ugh, so many people!"

The two of them had already visited the most bustling market in the Star Luo Empire, and Shrek City, as one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of Douluo Continent, was extremely lively in the evening, even more so than Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

There was a constant stream of people entering and leaving the city, with merchants from the north and south coming and going. It was a bit like a big market, and a little chaotic.

Lin You thought about it briefly and replied, "With a population of over five million, the human traffic volume is also terrifying. It's just a pity. Such a large population base and cargo trade volume are enough to support a huge commercial empire, especially a country like the Sun and Moon Empire with local rare metals. Just using foreign exchange means and currency price differences alone can crush the three major agricultural empires."

"What are you talking about, Brother Uranium?" The girl was very confused. She didn't understand what foreign exchange methods and currency price differences were. She didn't understand at all.

Facing the girl's swaying head, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and explained seriously, "If I were the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, commanding an army of evil spirit masters, and not afraid of harassment and attacks from the masters of the Three Douluo Kingdoms, do you believe that in just ten years, just by manipulating the economy, I could completely collapse the Three Douluo Kingdoms?"

"what?"

Huo Yujian was completely stunned. He stared at Lin You, looking left and right, as if trying to see blood on his face. "Brother You, are you still asleep?"

"I'm quite clear-headed. The first step is for the Sun-Moon Empire to leverage its near-industrial productivity and mineral resource advantages to determine the pan-continental pricing power for the core materials of soul guides. They will use mineral resources to monopolize and artificially create scarcity. At the same time, they will secretly support multinational compradors to resell minerals to the three countries at inflated prices, depleting their foreign exchange reserves."

"Technology bundling requires countries that purchase minerals to also import the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guide production line. This reduces the three countries' industries to low-end OEM, merely assembling parts and preventing them from mastering core technologies."

"The second step is to develop civilian soul guides. We can use the advantages of automated production to sell civilian soul guide equipment, such as agricultural soul guides, at prices lower than the cost of the Three Kingdoms, squeezing out the local handicraft industry. In the early stages, we can even provide "subsidized loans" to induce farmers in the Three Kingdoms to borrow money to purchase equipment, creating debt dependence."

"They impose high tariffs on agricultural products exported from the three countries, using many excuses, including food safety standards, yet they demand zero tariffs on Sun Moon's industrial products."

"The third step is financial warfare. Forced currency settlements will be implemented through the Shrek City trade network. All mineral and soul guide device transactions will be required to be settled in the Sun-Moon Empire's currency, forcing the three countries to reserve their currency. Subsequently, through excessive currency issuance or exchange rate fluctuations, the wealth of the three countries will be plundered in disguise."

"They set up a debt trap, providing loans to the three countries in the name of 'development aid', but requiring the funds to be used to purchase technology and services from the Sun and Moon Empire. When the three countries were unable to repay their debts due to industrial collapse, they used debt-for-equity swaps to control their key assets (such as mines and ports)."

"Finally, it's information warfare. They manipulate the futures market and spread false information on the Shrek City Exchange. For example, they claim the Sky Soul Empire has discovered a new mineral vein, inducing the three Douluo Kingdoms to stockpile raw materials at high prices. Then they sell off their inventory, causing a price crash. They also infiltrate the comprador class, bribe the nobles of the three kingdoms, and push policies to favor the Sun and Moon Empire, and so on."

"Given the agricultural foundations of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they lack core soul guide technology due to the technological gap and struggle to break through the industrial blockade. Furthermore, due to political divisions, the three nations struggle to form a unified economic alliance and are easily defeated one by one. Furthermore, due to path dependence, once the agricultural population transitions to an industrial workforce, social unrest will result from industrial collapse."

"Within ten years, the economies of the three kingdoms will be systematically dismantled. Ultimately, the three empires will be reduced to suppliers of raw materials and dumping markets for industrial products. Unless a large-scale war breaks out or a revolutionary technological revolution occurs, economic colonization is inevitable. Even if the royal families of the three kingdoms want to resist, the people at the bottom will not support them, and they will ultimately be caught in a vast ocean of people's war."

"But now, there are too many variables. We have Shrek Academy to intervene, and technology is rapidly developing. For example, you and I can achieve key technological breakthroughs. At the very least, we can seek intervention from external forces such as soul beasts. There are many ways."

Speaking of this, Lin You couldn't help but laugh.

In the original novel, Lao Huo struggled for so long and fought against the Sun-Moon Empire for so long. In the end, even the gods were defeated, but he still couldn't stop the unification of the Sun-Moon Empire. It can be imagined how many useless people there are in Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Lin You's ideas were derived from his idea of ​​not wanting to cause more killings. As a science student, it's reasonable for him to know a little about economics, right?
Any Martial Soul Empire that was unified ten thousand years ago would definitely have a lot of strong people relying on the inheritance of the two gods. It could have defeated the Sun-Moon Empire that was not fully developed four thousand years ago in one wave. With a unified political regime and religious brainwashing, Lin Yuan simply couldn't imagine how it could lose.

After hearing this, Huo Yujian felt dumbfounded.

Brother Tianmeng in my mind also fell into silence.

Faced with Lin Yuan's completely reasonable words, even as a reborn being, it knew when it was in the God Realm that the Sun and Moon Empire in the lower realm had completely ruled the Douluo Continent. Therefore, it felt that there was nothing wrong with Lin Yuan's words.

It is a rough insect and can only shout "666".
