Chapter 692 What is it?Let me, an old man, supervise the country?
After hearing the news, the royal families of various countries sent envoys to Daqin immediately.
After the envoys from various countries come to Xianyang, they usually stay in the embassy, eat, drink and have fun.
But this time it was different. Before the envoys from various countries set off, their kings made repeated orders. After they arrived in Xianyang, they had to do things first.
Because the situation is urgent this time, we must bring the news back as soon as possible.
As envoys, these people naturally know that national affairs are higher than personal enjoyment.
So after they came to Xianyang this time, they directly asked to meet Ying Yu and explain the matter face to face.
Ying Yu didn't make it difficult for them, and received envoys from various countries that day.
However, Ying Yu didn't intend to tell them about the specific matters of the Silk Road.
These messengers knew that if they only brought back such innocuous news, they would have no way to pay their king.
So, they begged Ying Yu to at least reveal some valuable news to them.
The countries in the Western Regions are now regarded as the vassal states of Great Qin, and Ying Yu didn't want to make the relationship stalemate, so after thinking about it, he said bluntly:
"This time, Daqin's reorganization of the Silk Road will not have any impact on the silk of other countries. You can just wait at ease."
The envoys breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.
With the guarantee of the Great Qin Emperor, it is enough for them to go back and make business.
Daqin is now their suzerain state, and the emperor was able to personally meet the envoy and give an explanation, which is already very face-to-face.
Naturally, they also knew that if they insisted on asking more questions at this moment, they would be pushing an inch.
Maybe it would even annoy Ying Yu, the Great Qin Emperor, because of this, which would be an unbearable catastrophe for their country.
So the envoys from various countries hurriedly accepted the news, and with the news from Ying Yu, they left Xianyang overnight and returned to their respective countries.
After they returned, they faced the king's questioning.
He reported Ying Yu's words verbatim.
After that, the kings of the Western Regions held a meeting.
As the suzerain state, Great Qin did not give a clear explanation. They speculated that this matter would definitely affect the situation of the countries in the Western Regions.
Reform is no joke in this era.
They got together one after another to discuss a coping strategy.
What they were really worried about was that Daqin, in the name of reorganizing the Silk Road, actually wanted to increase taxes on the Silk Road, or increase the selling price of silk.
If such a thing really happened, it would definitely not be a good thing for the countries of the Western Regions.
After a moment of silence, the monarch of a country said, "If Daqin really wants to adjust the taxation of the Silk Road, or increase the price, then what can we do?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the other king stood up and said angrily, "If Daqin really did such an unjust thing, then we will collectively protest."
"Don't get excited. I think it's too early to talk about this matter. Daqin has always had the demeanor of a big country. I think Daqin will not embarrass us this time when it reorganizes the Silk Road."
"That's right. The envoy also reported back when he came back. The Emperor Daqin has already said that we don't have to worry about the silk. I don't need to make wild guesses here."
Many kings gathered together, but in the end they did not discuss any useful conclusions.
At the same time, Chen Ping had arrived at the boundaries of the Western Regions with the emperor's order.
The matter of revitalizing the Silk Road is going very smoothly.
When Chen Ping came to the Silk Road, the first country in the Western Regions, he directly told them Ying Yu's strategy.
The king of this country was also the first to know about Daqin's purpose of reorganizing the Silk Road.
For them, this matter is actually not harmful, and it doesn't even require them to pay anything.
So they hit it off and agreed that from now on, when buying Daqin goods, they will always use Daqin's currency.
After the first country had agreed, such news slowly spread among the countries in the Western Regions.
What they have never known about the revival of the Silk Road is now the answer.
As Ying Yu expected, the policy he proposed is really a bit ahead of schedule.
Therefore, these kings simply wondered why Ying Yu did this.
They only knew that even if they agreed to Daqin's request, there would be no loss for them.
Because among the countries in the Western Regions, the currency of Daqin has already circulated,
Therefore, even if they couldn't think of why Ying Yu would do this, they didn't want to offend Da Qin.
So the countries in the Western Regions quickly signed an agreement with Daqin.
Since then, Daqin's coins have been directly linked to goods.
If you want to buy Daqin's goods, you need to pay Daqin's currency.
And when implementing this policy, Ying Yu had already made it clear.
If you want the currency of Daqin, you can exchange it with materials. Daqin does not accept the currency of other countries.
If you have to use your own country's currency to exchange Daqin's currency, that's not impossible, but Daqin needs to charge a certain handling fee.
If materials are exchanged for Daqin currency, there is no handling fee.
After the policy was passed, trials began.
Three months later, the countries in the Western Regions found that doing so was much, much more convenient than before.
Merchants in their own country prepare all the things that Daqin needs, and hand them over to Daqin officials to exchange them for Daqin's currency.
Then exchange the exchanged Daqin currency to the people or merchants of the country.
Ying Yu was still in Xianyang, and he had already seen the subsequent development of this matter.
As time goes by, the countries in the Western Regions will inevitably find it troublesome to exchange back and forth.
At that time, the country's currency will definitely be directly exchanged for Daqin's currency.
Gradually, Qin's currency will replace their country's currency. This is the final result Ying Yu wants to see.
Once it really develops to that point, the countries in the Western Regions will be as simple as the vassal states of Great Qin.
The currency of Daqin has become the benchmark for the sole currency of the countries in the Western Regions.
As for other countries that have not yet become vassal states of the Great Qin, such as Rome, Carthage and other countries, because of trade with the Great Qin, they also agreed to the circulation of the Great Qin currency in their countries.
So far, the reorganization of the Silk Road has been completed.
At this time, Ying Yu was staring at Ying Zheng.
"Look at you, where do you look like an emperor?"
"Now you are the emperor of Daqin, and I am the Supreme Emperor. How can there be any reason for the Supreme Emperor to oversee the country and the emperor to go outside?"
Looking at the angry-eyed Emperor Shihuang, Ying Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Do you still have a conscience, kid? I'm already very old. How dare you let me, a bad old man, continue to work hard?"
Seeing that Ying Yu was silent, Ying Zheng continued to ask.
