Chapter 30 The Young Master of the Underworld

Blue Moon City is not big, but as an important border town of Yue State, although it is inconspicuous in the world, it is different from ordinary small towns.

The new day arrives as usual, and the atmosphere in the city is still as peaceful and harmonious as ever.

Ordinary people cannot notice the change of ownership of the black market, but the people in power and major families who tacitly acknowledge the existence of this place will know about it at the first time.

However, they were temporarily unable to figure out the details of Lin Xiao, the dragon that had crossed the river, and chose to wait and see.

"Young Master, what did you say? Just hang up the sign?"

The three heads of the family, who had been excited all night, did not leave at all. They chose to stay not far from the courtyard all night. They hurried over to make breakfast for the young master before dawn.

But as soon as the young master finished his meal, the first thing he said was that they should hurry up and make custom signs and flags for the Blue Moon Market, and he also asked them to make sure they were conspicuous.

"Young Master, isn't this too..."

"Swagger?"

Lin Xiao saw the resistance of the three people clearly, and shook his head while wiping his hands with a towel, "Old Ge, you don't really think you can hide it well, do you?"

Ge Wen and his two brothers were not simple people. When they heard this, their expressions changed drastically and they instantly understood what the young master meant.

They may have already registered with the City Lord's Mansion and major families, and perhaps even the City Lord knows about it.

"Young Master, can I ask why the city lord and the other lords allowed the three of us brothers to control the black market?"

As soon as Qi Yu opened his mouth, he immediately received supportive looks from his two brothers.

Yes, since they didn’t hide it well, then what was there about them that was worthy of the attention of those big shots?

The three of them are well versed in market life and understand the ways of the world. They are not stupid, but they are limited by their birth and status, and their vision is a little limited.

"Because you are not outstanding, you can be replaced at any time." Lin Xiao's words were unpleasant to hear, but this was the most fundamental reason.

The black market plays an irreplaceable role and must be controlled by someone to ensure its normal operation.

Anyone can be the person in charge, but it cannot be the city lord or a big family in the city.

Balance is the core element that supports the stability of a power circle, and Blue Moon City is no exception.

The three brothers have no background and can be easily controlled, making them the best candidates.

"Girl, what do they need this black market for?"

After a while, Uncle Kun, who was sharpening his knife, broke the silence, contrary to his usual behavior, and asked the most crucial question on behalf of the leaders who were reshaping their world views.

The Sword Master used to not be interested in these things, but now as the nominal owner of the black market, he has gradually developed some awareness.

Lin Xiao was very happy to see Uncle Kun's change. He picked up the cup on the table and smiled gently, "Uncle Kun, you also discovered yesterday that the actual value of the spirit stone far exceeds the official exchange amount.

If the city lord does not intervene, the Wuzhu coin will become cheaper and cheaper.

If money is cheap, it will hurt the people.

Once ordinary people no longer have channels to obtain spiritual stones, they will eventually give up using Wuzhu coins and revert to bartering.

The Zhou Dynasty did not want to see such an outcome, nor did the Kingdom of Yue. The Lord of Blue Moon City and the major families with roots in the city were also unhappy.

Therefore, the problem facing them is that they cannot allow money to depreciate indefinitely with the market, and they must also find a channel for the people to obtain spirit stones to maintain stability in the city.

But everyone knows how precious the spirit stone is, and it is easy to exchange it for five-zhu coins.

If it were the other way around, and if the spirit stones were really exchanged according to the official ratio, it would be a huge loss and no one could afford it.

Therefore, local authorities would openly crack down on the black market and guarantee the official value of the Wuzhu coin with a tough attitude, but they would also leave a loophole for everyone and would not actually ban the black market.

Of course, easing the local economy is only one of the functions of the black market, but as long as it has this function, the Great Zhou Dynasty will acquiesce in the existence of black markets in various places under its rule.

It’s the same with other dynasties. Wherever there are civilians, there are always various black markets.”

This is a very simple economic principle. When the official price of a currency is inconsistent with the market, the market regulation mechanism will come into play and a black market will inevitably emerge, which the official cannot prohibit at all.

Even in modern society, if you travel or travel to places in the Middle East that have suffered from war and are being rebuilt, it is most cost-effective to find someone privately to exchange local currency if you have the conditions to ensure safety.

On the black market, one dollar can be exchanged for far more local currency than the official exchange rate.

This is because the U.S. dollar and spirit stones have the same properties, are strategic-level materials, are generally accepted, and are hard currencies in people's inherent concepts.

The root cause is that the national strength and credibility of the currency issuer are behind it, so it is reasonable that the international influence of the RMB is increasing.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty was among the super dynasties and could be ranked among the many forces in the universe, the market for Wuzhu coins would be much better.

Among the five people in the academy, only Lin Xiao had studied systematic economics. The other four were confused and didn't understand what he was talking about!

"Young Master, please forgive my rudeness. Can you understand it this way? As long as there is someone in Blue Moon City who wants to get the spirit stone, there will definitely be one on the black market?"

Qi Yu doesn't understand economics, but he understands human nature.

Why didn't the City Lord's Mansion and the major families jointly stipulate that all shops in Blue Moon City must use Wuzhu coins to settle accounts?

Because it is useless to have regulations. If the superiors forbid something, the people below will do it secretly on their own initiative.

If you go through formal channels and exchange spirit stones for coins, you can only go to the City Lord's Mansion or find the major families. Others cannot accept this situation.

After all, everyone also needs spirit stones to practice.

The bigwigs must have considered that instead of letting the city become a mess, it would be better to turn a blind eye and allow the existence of the black market.

Lin Xiao looked at the third in command carefully. No matter what conclusion he came to, it showed that he was a smart person.

"That's right! The black market is necessary to exist and it will not be banned, so you don't have to be afraid of going from the dark to the light. As long as you do a good job, others will take the initiative to help you solve some problems."

“So that’s the truth.”

The eldest and the second oldest looked at the third brother together, and their biggest worries were gone. They immediately thought of other things.

Even though the young master did not show off his abilities, he still made people feel terrified and no one dared to underestimate him.

And the third brother will probably be the most useful one among them in the future.

"Take this plan back and have a look at it first. What were the rules in the city before? You are still following them. You should make arrangements as needed and pay tribute as needed.

As for what the market situation will be like in the future, you need to show the results, understand?"

Lin Xiao did not miss the expressions of the two of them and directly handed the business plan of the market town to the third brother. The meaning was self-evident.

Only when there is competition can there be motivation.

"Understood!" The three of them said in unison and solemnly took the paper in front of them.

This time, they did not ask the boss for permission. They bowed respectfully and left the courtyard directly.

Uncle Kun naturally didn't care about this. After the three of them left, he said cheerfully, "Girl, you are not a person who follows the rules. Is a mere vassal state of a middle-grade dynasty worthy of such courtesy?"

"Well, I forgot to tell you that from today on, Lin Xiao is no longer the young master Lin. She is just a homeless little girl who follows her uncle around."

Lin Xiao sipped his tea and gave a concise explanation.

Since the identity is different, the behavior must change, otherwise the vest cannot be kept on.

After openly breaking with the Qianxiu Sect, whether outsiders will still treat Young Master Lin the same way as before will only be tested by time.

She secretly wondered in her heart to what extent she would be able to achieve as the daughter of a gangster, and she had no idea how destructive this sentence was.

uncle!

Uncle Kun chewed over the name in his mind, then sat back quietly and sharpened the knife in his hand.

I hope that the Lord of Blue Moon City and the King of Yue State are sensible, otherwise he wouldn’t mind visiting the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty from time to time.
