The next day, after Liu Yu woke up, he first asked about the situation in Beijing.
At this time, the people in Beijing were restless.
Although Liu Yu's Royal Guards did not harm the civilians, the drastic change in the situation in the city still made the civilians feel insecure.
"Tell Li Ji to appease the people and ensure that the grain prices in Beijing are normal.
Anyone who wanted to raise the price of grain at this time would be confiscated.”Liu Yu ordered.
"Yes, my lord. This subordinate will inform him now.”The royal guard replied.
After breakfast, Liu Yu took out the jade seal and asked a eunuch to write the imperial edict.
In the name of the Crown Prince Zhu Ci, he wrote an imperial edict to Wu Sangui, asking him to return to the capital.
"Go, give the imperial edict to Wu Sangui. Don't worry about Wu Sangui's reaction. Your main purpose is to find out about the situation at Shanhaiguan.”Liu Yu said to Chen Miao.
"Yes, my lord. I promise to complete the mission.”
After Chen Miao finished speaking, she brought the eunuch to Shanhaiguan Pass.
It did not matter to Liu Yu whether Wu Sangui returned to the capital or not.
The imperial edict had already been issued anyway. If Wu Sangui resisted the edict, then he would have a sense of justice and could directly attack Shanhaiguan.
However, if Wu Sangui really obeyed and returned to the capital, then he would have picked up a bargain.
This was like picking up grass to hit a rabbit. It didn't matter if he didn't hit it.
If he managed to hit it, wouldn't he have made a profit?
After Chen Miao left, Liu Yu opened the system interface and looked at the construction time of the trading market.
"There are still four hours left. Let's use this time to gather the officials.”
Liu Yu gathered another group of officials, but when he saw the list of officials on the system, he was speechless.
Apart from one Black Grade official, the rest were all Yellow Grade.
"As expected, even after transmigrating, the paywall system will not change.”
If he wanted to become stronger without paying, he must be dreaming.
This was only the second day. If it was tomorrow, not even a single Black Grade official would be able to appear.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. There's no hurry with the official's matters.”
Liu Yu gathered these officials and handed them over to Li Ji to distribute. He would first fill in the missing officials in each yamen.
" Quarry upgrade, lumberyard upgrade, barracks upgrade, stable upgrade…"
In one breath, Liu Yu upgraded all the buildings he needed at the moment and arranged for people to mine resources.
Following that, Liu Yu quietly waited for the completion of the trading market in the Sky Bearing Hall.
At this moment, the city gates of Beijing were already open.
With the royal guards guarding Beijing, they did not have to worry about anyone attacking the city.
Zhu Youjian and the officials 'corpses were also escorted by the imperial guards to the Ming Emperor Mausoleum for burial.
The civilians in the city were also recruited by the Royal Guards to work in the quarry and logging field.
As for the spies in the city and the eyes and ears of the various factions, they also took the opportunity to leave Beijing and send back the news.
Liu Yu was already clear about these things. He did not care about them.
In the face of absolute strength, all enemies were paper tigers.
In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.
The construction of the trading market was finally completed.
"Trading Market: Stabilize the prices of goods in the territory and increase commercial efficiency by 50%. Lords can buy special items there.”
Liu Yu excitedly opened the interface of the trading market, wanting to see if the goods inside were the same as what he had guessed.
"Hahaha…as expected, everything in the game can be found in the trading market.”
When he saw the various items sold in the trading market, he laughed excitedly.
Without hesitation, he bought fifty thousand warhorses and fifty thousand sacks of rations.
"Chen Cheng, lead the 50,000 Royal Guards and take down the Tianjin Guards and Baoding Prefecture.”Liu Yu ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
After Chen Cheng received the order, he immediately led 50,000 royal guards, rode on the warhorses he had just bought, and set off with military rations.
The military rations bought from the trading market could fill one's stomach for a day and eliminate fatigue. It could be eaten by both men and horses.
This kind of military grain was a pay-to-win product. One grain was one tael of silver, and one bag contained 100 grains.
It could be said that Liu Yu had spent more money on military rations than on warhorses.
However, all of this was worth it. With territory, there was no need to worry about not having money.
"Sigh…it's only been two days and I've already spent over 12 million silver. The silver circulating in the market has suddenly decreased by so much.”
Liu Yu was very happy when he spent money, but he was very depressed after spending it.
This was all real gold and silver.
If he continued to spend like this, 60 million taels of silver would not be enough.
The most important thing was that the silver would not be able to circulate in the market after being recharged by the system.
Anyone who knew a little about finance would know what this meant.
If this continued, the economic system would collapse.
"No, we have to get the paper money out.”
Thinking of this, Liu Yu steeled his heart and spent another two million taels of silver to purchase the blueprints for the special buildings, Mo Gong Hall and Hundred Craftsmen Hall.
Mo Gong Hall was equivalent to a research institute, while Hundred Craftsmen Hall was equivalent to a manufacturing institute.
Liu Yu believed that with these two special buildings, it would not be a problem to recruit a group of top-notch craftsmen from the common people to develop anti-counterfeit banknotes.
It was not that the Ming Dynasty did not issue paper money, but there were no financial talents in this era.
When the imperial court ran out of money, they only knew how to print paper money like crazy.
In the end, it would lead to inflation, and money would be worthless.
To Liu Yu, printing money was the stupidest act. He had ten thousand ways to make money.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to have a large enough territory.
