Seeing the people of the Shadow Group appear, the mentor didn't know that he had kicked the iron plate, and the thirty-six tricks were the best plan, so he said that when he turned around and slipped away, he was caught by one person. He swayed with his feet for a long time, and found that he hadn't moved a bit, and when he looked down, it was actually a volley.

Xin Xianying was very funny when she saw her volleying and kicking her legs, her mouth pursed, and she snorted coquettishly: "Hmph, the guy who doesn't have long eyes, he deceives people and deceives the emperor, he deserves it!" ”

The leader of the Shadow Group who came over looked at Li Yi coldly and asked, "Is it the cloud-piercing arrow you released?" ”

The mentor is worthy of being the first person in the history of the Tang Dynasty to think of pyramid schemes in addition to Li Yi, and he was really a little anxious, and after listening to the words of the leader of the Shadow Group, he immediately shouted: "He stole it!" ”

Xin Xianying hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped Li Yi's face, and restored Lushan's true face.

All the Shadow Group were startled, and they all knelt down and bowed, "Long live my emperor...... It's too late for help! ”

"Your Majesty!" The tutor suddenly turned pale, he quickly took out a banknote from his bosom and looked at it, his white face suddenly turned green, and when he looked at it again, it turned purple.

The mentor never expected that he was actually deceiving the emperor to join the pyramid scheme, and what would he say to make a fortune, does the emperor need to make a fortune?

"No wonder...... Blame had to be fooled! After he vented, he thought of the current situation, rolled his eyes in horror, vomited, foamed at the mouth and passed out, still convulsing.

"Arrest all the people here!"

Under Li Yi's order, all the people present were arrested.

Li Yi is well aware of the huge destructive power of pyramid schemes, especially when it involves the sale of drugs such as big tobacco, which is something that Li Yi will never allow. Although he had been growing tobacco in Nanban Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture for an early period, the products were all sold to Anxi, Kushan and other places, and even now after conquering these places, these places are no longer sold, and they are only sold to Rome.

Now there are people selling in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which definitely touches Li Yi's taboo, so Li Yi immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

Soon the Tang Empire launched a nationwide investigation, and all the personnel of this organization were arrested.

………………

At the same time that Li Yi destroyed the den of the first pyramid scheme organization in the Tang Dynasty, in the Roman Empire, Li Yi's plan had reached the final stage.

Wang Xuance contacted the Shadow Group's action detachments in various parts of Rome, and set this day to exchange gold for a unified exchange.

On May 1, 220 A.D., history will remember this day. On this day, Emperor Wude will sweep away all the gold reserves of the Roman Empire and crush the economy of this great empire.

The wealth of the truly rich country will flow into the pockets of Emperor Wude.

It would be the biggest fraud in the world, a truly world-class fraud.

On the morning of May 1, after having breakfast, Wang Xuance took Wei Xiaokuan and his escort to escort five carriages to the Imperial Bank of Rome, located in the center of the Roman city.

During this period of time, Wang Xuance and Wei Xiaokuan joined forces to absorb savings. Due to the effective layout in the early stage, one billion gold coins were absorbed in just over a month. Fifty percent of them came from the wealthy Romans, and the other fifty percent came from the Roman commoners.

Wang Xuance can't wait, firstly, he is afraid of revealing his stuffing, and secondly, he can't afford to pay the interest. Therefore, after collecting intelligence from all over the country, Wang Xuance and Wei Xiaokuan thought that the time was ripe for launch.

In fact, it was just Wang Xuance that they couldn't open the Imperial Bank of Rome at all. However, as long as they succeeded in making the introduction, the Romans, who heard the news, would run their own banks on their own.

Wang Xuance walked into the Imperial Bank of Rome.

The bank manager hurriedly came to greet him, and bowed like a grandson and said, "Your Excellency, you are here!" ”

Wang Xuance laughed.

The banker asked, "I wonder how much gold you have deposited when you come here today?" ”

Wang Xuance waved his hand and said, "This time, it's not a deposit, it's an exchange." ”

The bank's face turned green.

Wang Xuance was very displeased and asked, "What?" Can I save or not? Is your bank trying to talk about credit? ”

His voice was so loud that it immediately caught the minds of everyone in the bank.

The bank manager hurriedly laughed and said, "Can you ...... Yes. My lord, how much gold do you exchange? ”

Wang Xuance said in his ear: "One billion gold coins!" ”

"Plop ......"

Such a huge number shocked the bank manager and said, "Ten, ten, ten, ten...... Billion! Are you sure, my lord? ”

"Not bad!" Wang Xuance was already tall, and the bank manager was sitting on the ground, so he looked down and said, "Lord Ben has calculated, five thousand catties of gold, you should go and prepare immediately." ”

"Oh my god! This is the rhythm that is going to kill the bank! The bank manager still had some brains, and he fainted in fright.

………………

The matter was immediately reported to Caracalla.

Roman palace hill, hilltop basilica.

Caracalla was furious when he heard the news and roared, "Where did this man come from? ”

The first patriarch, Antonique, hurriedly said: "I heard that it is from the Thracian province......"

"Check it out, check it for me! How did such scum appear in the empire! Caracalla was even more angry, and said to himself, isn't this clearly looking for something for me?

Antonic said: "Your Majesty, can you redeem it?" ”

Caracalla's eyebrows jumped, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't change!" ”

"Ahh The crowd was dumbfounded.

Tiberius, who was in charge of finance, immediately said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not appropriate. Our banks have just begun to develop, and the people are reluctant to accept them, and if they do not exchange them, their credibility will be lost. ”

This was a big problem, and Caracalla couldn't afford to lose a lot of money, so he finally agreed to the exchange with difficulty.

Tiberius personally received Wang Xuance, and because Wang Xuance's acting skills were very good, he did not show any flaws.

Tiberius was very embarrassed and said: "Your Excellency from Thrace, the empire can only pay you three thousand catties of gold at present. ”

Then Tiberius said forcefully: "As a nobleman of the empire, you should also think about the empire. ”

Wang Xuance smiled slightly, he had already calculated with Wei Xiaokuan. Because the Roman court had been frantically printing money to buy private materials, although a large amount of paper money was circulated among the people, the Roman court did not have much gold reserves at all.

In other words, the gap between the currency in circulation and the gold reserves is extremely large, to the point of being frightening.

Three thousand catties, Wang Xuance himself brought one thousand catties from Datang, and now he has twice the profit, which is already a big profit. He was not persecuted, but agreed to exchange three thousand catties of gold in advance. And after the exchange is out, it is loaded on the ship with lightning speed, and the anchor is pulled out and set sail. Before the Roman fleet could react, it disappeared into the Mediterranean.

In ancient times, there was no satellite positioning, and it was impossible to find it in the vast sea.

Caracalla was going to exchange it here, but he was snatching it back behind his back, but he didn't expect to be driven away first.

Therefore, Caracalla was furious and ordered the whole city to secretly arrest Wang Xuance and his party.

However, when the gold was gone, Wang Xuance and Wei Xiaokuan immediately hid and began to command underground.

………………

On the afternoon of Wang Xuance's exchange for gold, five agents of the Tang Dynasty Shadow Group in makeup walked into the Imperial Bank of Rome in the center of Rome, occupied several windows, and shouted: "Exchange gold ......"

The Imperial Bank of Rome had already given all the gold to Wang Xuance, and one or two were gone, so it was naturally impossible to exchange it for these people.

So, these people immediately jumped to their feet and shouted one after another.

"What? No gold, no exchange? Swindler! ”

"What your bank said can be exchanged at any time. That's why I'm using banknotes! If I knew that you wouldn't exchange it, I would never use paper money! ”

The other two agents began to express "performance art", crying and fussing: "It's over, it's over, I've been deceived." My gold, it's all gone, a pile of waste paper, what's the use! ”

"Don't cry, go to another bank and see if you can exchange it."

……

The Roman people who kept money in the bank were a little dumbfounded, and muttered in disbelief: "Can't exchange gold?" A pile of waste paper? ”

Subsequently, the Romans began to exchange gold, but all the banks in the city could not exchange it, because all the gold in the city of Rome was given to Wang Xuance.

The Shadow Agents took the opportunity to start demagoguery, saying that the bank was bankrupt and that the bank had no gold at all. The Roman court casually issued paper money to deceive us into buying our goods.

It's not a little bit of impermeability, it's a little bit of permeability. The people of Rome understood, and that was indeed the case.

The Roman court was free to print paper money and buy goods that it had worked so hard to make. No wonder prices have risen recently, it turns out that the goods are gone, and only waste paper money remains.

"There is no gold in the bank, waste paper is issued at will, and all we have in our hands is waste paper!" The news immediately spread, and for a time the entire city of Rome fell into a panic.

………………

The Roman Emperor Caracalla, who was in the palace, was shocked and personally came to the Grand Forum and explained to the citizens: "The gold was exchanged by one person, not for the time being, and there will be in the future." ”

Such a big Rome that the gold was exchanged by one person? To the Romans, this was nonsense,, and a lie.

Caracalla was anxious, but he still stubbornly said: "There is gold in other cities, and it will be transferred soon......"

Shadow agents began spreading rumors.

"Caracalla prints money at will, money is not money, or real money is actually traded! The person in front of him saw this. He was able to exchange the reserves of the city of Rome alone, which shows that the Roman court did not have much gold at all. ”

"Go redeem! If you don't exchange it, you will be redeemed by others! ”

……

Caracalla tasted the bitter fruit of the printing of money, and the Romans began to besiege the banks and demand the exchange of gold.

The news began to spread across the country and was out of control.
