Ren looked at him.
"The real power of a currency is not how much fees it can charge when issuing it, but whether it can become the settlement standard for all transactions."
"If Heavenly Treasury Gold is only the currency used internally by Uchiha, its value will be limited."
"But once Shinobi World's bulk trade, rare material transactions and settlements between countries all start to use Heavenly Treasury Gold, the situation will be completely different."
"Whoever controls the settlement currency has the power to influence transactions."
No one spoke in the hall.
Ren continued, "For example, when countries purchase medicinal materials, steel, grain, Building Materials, or conduct cross-border commerce, they need to first convert their national currencies into Heavenly Treasury Gold."
"The greater the demand for Heavenly Treasury Gold, the stronger the settlement power Uchiha has."
"The faster the economies of various countries run, the deeper their dependence on Heavenly Treasury Gold will be."
"At that time, Heavenly Treasury Gold will no longer be just a currency issued by Uchiha, but will become the settlement currency for all commodities of Shinobi World."
Jian Zhen I understand.
He heard the true weight of Ren's words.
Money is not just metal and paper used to buy things.
Whoever controls currency can influence the flow of wealth.
Whoever controls the settlement currency for commodities has a sharp weapon that can influence the economies of various countries.
Ren raised his hand and said:
"When the scope of use of Heavenly Treasury Gold expands, countries will no longer be able to arbitrarily break away from it."
"If they want to buy Uchiha steel, medicinal materials, Building Materials, they must prepare Heavenly Treasury Gold."
"If they want to conduct large-scale trade with other countries, they will also be accustomed to using Heavenly Treasury Gold."
"The wider the circulation of currency, the greater the impact Uchiha will have on the Shinobi World economy."
"In the end, there is no need to dispatch ninjas, launch a war, or even directly threaten any country. Uchiha can also affect the economic trends of various countries through currency flows."
Only then did Jian Zhen truly understand that Ren promoted Seireitei Conference with great fanfare, not just for peace, nor just for commercial expansion.
World Peace Treaty is the name.
Notarization Guarantee is the channel.
Office and banks are the foundation.
And Heavenly Treasury Gold is the power that Ren really wants to build.
An elder stood up.
"Clan Leader, if Heavenly Treasury Gold really becomes the universal settlement currency of Shinobi World, wouldn't the wealth of all countries have to go through Uchiha?"
"Not all wealth."
Ren corrected. "The flow of a large amount of wealth will leave traces that Uchiha can see and influence."
"That's enough."
Uchiha Jian Zhen was silent for a long time before saying, "But countries will not be willing to let Uchiha control their economy."
"Of course they won't be willing to do it."
Ren said, "So, we cannot let them feel that they are controlled by Uchiha from the beginning."
"Heavenly Treasury Gold must provide convenience first, and then gradually become a habit."
"Countries use it because it is stable, convenient and can reduce trade risks."
"Businessmen use it because Uchiha Bank can guarantee exchange, and treaty notarization can guarantee transactions."
"By the time they discover that cross-border trade will become more difficult after leaving Heavenly Treasury Gold, it will be too late."
In the main hall, many clan members looked shocked.
In the past, they only knew that the family possessed powerful force and that Commerce Department could earn huge wealth.
But it wasn't until today that they realized that what Ren was really planning went far beyond mines, shops and trade routes.
What he wants to build is a set of Financial Order covering the entire Shinobi World.
"Clan Leader."
Jian Zhen opening.
"I understand that Heavenly Treasury Gold can bring wealth."
"But you just said that currencies can also influence the economic trends of various countries and even check and balance big countries."
"What's the difference?"
Ren looked at him.
"If a country can only rely on force to compete for interests with other countries, then the war will never stop."
"Because all careerists believe that as long as they win a war, they can get land, resources and wealth."
"But if the trade, production and wealth flow of various countries are closely connected with Heavenly Treasury Gold, war will no longer be just a collision between armies."
"The party that initiates the war will first lose its trade qualifications, lose exchange channels, and lose important sources of supplies."
"Uchiha does not need to directly destroy their army. They only need to adjust the settlement rules to make their goods unable to circulate, make their wealth difficult to redeem, and make their economy lose vitality."
"In turn, countries that abide by treaties can get more stable trade, lower notarization costs, and smoother material flow."
"Countries will naturally weigh their gains and losses."
"They will find that the benefits gained from waging war are far less than the gains from trade after complying with the treaty."
Jian Zhen said nothing.
Ren's voice continued to spread throughout the hall:
"Force can only make people surrender, while interests can make people actively abide by the rules."
"As long as Heavenly Treasury Gold can afford the settlement of the Shinobi World transaction, Uchiha can increase the cost of the war to a level that all careerists cannot bear."
"At that time, war is no longer a tool that a country can choose at will."
"Whoever dares to tear up the treaty will be excluded from Heavenly Treasury Gold System."
"Whoever dares to initiate a war will lose the qualification to engage in large-scale trade with other countries."
"Without trade, without supplies, without the circulation of wealth, no matter how powerful the ninja village is, it cannot sustain the war for a long time."
In the main hall, everyone straightened their backs.
They finally saw the real horror of this plan.
Uchiha There is no need to conquer every country yourself.
There is no need to send Temple ninjas to garrison everywhere.
As long as Heavenly Treasury Gold becomes the core of Shinobi World transaction settlement, all forces can rely on this system.
By then, what Uchiha will control is not just force and wealth, but also the economic lifeblood that Shinobi World countries rely on for their survival.
Ren looked at the people below and said:
"Heavenly Treasury Gold is not for Uchiha to make more money."
"The true meaning of it is to give Uchiha the power to influence the entire Shinobi World without launching a war."
"The wider the scope of monetary settlement, the larger the economic scale that the family can control."
"The more the economy relies on Heavenly Treasury Gold, the less countries will dare to tear up treaties easily."
"Ultimately, relying on financial means to indirectly control the economic trends of major countries, without relying on war force, we can fundamentally check and balance the forces of all parties and dismantle the foundation for many careerists to launch wars."
