For ordinary people, this means that the Empire's pervasive tax system has become extremely efficient and cruel, tax evasion is naturally impossible, and various and endless taxes and fees can be directly transferred from the account, and half a second delay does not exist.
For those who cultivate immortals, especially those who are ambitious and seek to climb up by all means, it means that all their cultivation plans are exposed to the sun - or even more terrifying, to those who are jealous of their talents and don't want them to become stronger.
Cultivation consumes resources, and the purchase of resources will leave all kinds of traces on the spirit net. So, as long as you master the purchase records and the flow of funds, you can easily master the realm and recent cultivation status of an immortal.
For the class with vested interests, the high-level people who control the major sects and families, that is, the so-called dignitaries, do not want to see the ambitious poor boys or the low-level immortals of collateral branches climb up.
Then, as long as you find the abnormal changes in the account of the low-level immortal, and then track down the status of the resources he recently purchased, you can know that he is carrying out some kind of cultivation, and even preparing to make some key breakthrough.
At the critical moment, it's easy to make a few mistakes.
Even if the low-level cultivators don't want to rely on the family's power, but go out to secretly take private work and become mercenaries and killers to make money for cultivation, as long as the money is imperial crystal money and is transferred through Lingwang, they will still be found by the family - the heads of the family and sects have ways to buy secret transfer records from the black market, thus strangling the low-level cultivators.
In a word, under this Lingwang currency trading system, the vested interest class firmly controls the lifeblood of money, the class solidification is more serious, the rising channel is completely blocked, and the low-level immortals do not have any freedom to grow savagely. If you want to become stronger, you have to be a dog to the high-level immortals.
Of course, there are many immortals who don't mind being a dog to the strong.
However, more unruly, ambitious and ambitious people who want to dominate the world will never be willing to kowtow for a lifetime and be held in the throat for a lifetime!
Ordinary people may be able to endure the pain of being oppressed by the immortals forever, even if they want to make a sound, they have no power.
But the dissatisfaction of hundreds of millions of low-level cultivators with the status quo will inevitably affect the whole empire!
They are immortals. They were born to be human beings, to rule the world, to conquer the universe, not to be dogs all their lives!
The low-level cultivators have never been so eager for power. If they want to obtain more powerful power, they need money - real money, money that really belongs to them, not "imperial crystal coin", which is a kind of grass paper that is monitored in every transaction link!
They long for such a kind of currency - first of all, it needs to have a relatively stable currency value, not to say that it can not be diluted, but at least it has to have a limit. It should be diluted slowly with the economic growth, rather than being "splashed" by the four families like Imperial crystal currency. Today it can buy a chicken, and tomorrow it can only buy an egg.
Second, more importantly, this kind of currency must have the characteristics of untraceability and non monitoring, so that they can trade resources unconsciously, grow savagely and grow obscene under the eyes of high-level cultivators, and finally challenge the authority of high-level cultivators.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Where there is demand, there will be corresponding products.
Depending on the strong demand of thousands of low-level practitioners, "free star coin" came into being.
Free star currency is not a traditional currency. At first, it was just a joke like virtual currency. It was born in crystal brain and spirit net, a decentralized, point-to-point new trading algorithm.
Free star currency does not have all the characteristics of traditional currency. It does not even rely on any currency issuing institution to issue it. Instead, it is generated by an extremely special algorithm to tap the potential of a large number of super brains distributed throughout the Empire. Transaction records are marked and stored in distributed databases on various spiritual network nodes, And through the inherent algorithm design advantages and multiple cryptographic features, to ensure its absolute security.
Li Yao doesn't study economics. He doesn't know much about virtual currency, so he doesn't understand the essence of free star currency. Maybe it can be said that free star currency is actually a kind of virtual anonymous account book, recording all transactions of users, but this account book is owned by all users of the whole empire, And the data can be updated synchronously.
In this way, any spirit net intruder can't tamper with the transaction data of free star coin, and the security reaches the extreme.
Moreover, the free star coin is not issued by any bank, but is "made" by tapping the potential of all the super brains in the Empire.
In a certain period of time, the potential of super brain is constant, so the number of free star coins is also constant, and its "currency value" can be stable.
What if the potential of super brain is greatly improved?
That means that the number of super crystal brain has increased and its performance has become stronger. Modern civilization is crystal brain civilization to a large extent. The upgrade of super crystal brain also means economic development, and the increase of free star coin is no problem - it's perfect!
Of course, from the free star currency to the real currency, there is still a natural gap. It needs a pair of wings to complete the most dangerous leap - credit.
Currency is credit. Currency without credit is no different from game currency in virtual games.
The original free star coin was just a concept created by crystal brain experts from a group of star thieves in the outer world of the Empire when they were extremely bored.
The purpose of creation is to act as a small account book for black market transactions between star thieves, and the purpose is to avoid the imperial authorities' attack on Star thieves.
It relies on the force of the star thieves to act as credit, so it has no value outside the circle of star thieves.
However, don't forget that in the outer world of the Empire, the so-called "star robbers" are actually synonymous with "privatizing fleet". Most powerful star robbers are just warlords who have changed their bodies.
When the free star coin spread among the star bandits, it immediately entered the sight of warlords and local leaders in the outer world of the Empire.
The core world of the empire is extremely cruel to the outside world. All kinds of industrial products are dumped and sheared, and the lifeblood of these warlords and local tyrants is cut off. But their whole economic system in the past was built on the basis of "imperial crystal currency". Do you really want to hide a copper coin and keep a low profile? It's a dream!
The emergence of the free star currency gave the warlords and the local snakes hope. With their connivance or even encouragement, the free star currency soon became one of the main means of black market trading in the outer world of the Empire, and it also gained new credit, that is, the guarantee that the warlords and the local snakes poked out with guns.
Even so, the newly born free star coin is still like a baby in its infancy, extremely fragile and helpless, which can be strangled with a pinch.
But at this time, another serious economic crisis happened within the Empire, just 100 years ago.
One hundred years ago, the Empire suffered an unprecedented defeat on the front line. The black wind fleet, known as the "strongest frontier force", was defeated like a mountain. The whole five highly militarized heavy industrial worlds fell into the hands of the holy alliance, whose troops directly pointed to the hinterland of the Empire.
For a time, evil wind everywhere, people panic, as if the disaster came.
But the damned black wind fleet kept on doing nothing. Knowing that they had lost the battle, the imperial court would not let them go. Instead, it gathered a group of defeated soldiers and swam around the hinterland of the Empire all day, clamoring for "shame before the snow" to help the Empire conquer the wild world on the edge of the Xinghai sea to make atonement. Of course, "the emperor does not send hungry soldiers.", The imperial court will also pay them a large amount of high pension and expenses.
They look like unscrupulous scoundrels. If the court doesn't give them any money, they will surrender to the holy alliance. They will cooperate with each other and die together.
At that time, the emperor's temperament was weak, and the four families had different hearts. He even held his nose and agreed to blackwind's threat, and took out a large sum of money to appease the defeated soldiers.
As a result, the defeated soldiers took a high amount of pension and promotion fee, patted their ass and left. In a hundred years, they went to the Xinghai border to find Xingyao Federation to die.
Let's not mention it later. At that time, Lei Chenghu, the "Marquis of Liaohai", stepped forward to turn the tide, and finally resisted the rampant attack of shengmeng. However, the Empire was also greatly damaged again. The military expenditure, pension and promotion expenses were astronomical. There was also a chain reaction in the financial market caused by the loss of five thousand worlds in a row... No wonder there was no economic crisis!
This economic crisis led to the downfall of the cabinet of Li Jiande, the Prime Minister of the Empire at that time, and completely wiped out the last bit of credit of the imperial crystal coin.
Now, the credit of the free star currency is about zero, but the value of the currency is stable, it can be traded freely, and it will never be monitored.
The credit of imperial crystal currency is also about zero, but it will depreciate wildly at any time, and it will be closely monitored in every transaction link.
All fools know who to choose!
When it comes to money, businessmen always have the sharpest sense of smell.
Just when the front-line black wind fleet was defeated, Wanjie business alliance, which was also in a state of secret development at that time, predicted the coming of economic crisis. Don't forget that even the deputy commander of black wind fleet, di feiwen, was a member of Wanjie business alliance, and even the blackwind fleet's attack on the imperial court might not have nothing to do with Wanjie business alliance.
On the one hand, Wanjie commercial alliance helped the Heifeng fleet to attack the imperial court through di feiwen and others, which partly promoted the outbreak of the economic crisis and weakened the power of the core area of the Empire. On the other hand, it put all its bets on the free star coin!
