In another life, in another world, an empire across the ocean had relied on its immense military might and several tens of thousands of tons of gold to make its currency into the true world currency.

The Great Tang currently had the strength to suppress all other contenders, as well as two hundred and fifty thousand tons of gold, even more than the gold reserves of that empire from Wang Chong's memories. In every aspect, the Great Tang had the ability to issue a world currency!

”A world currency…”

Yang Zhao's eyes immediately brightened at Wang Chong's words.

”Virtuous brother is right! Exactly right! A world currency, that's what it is…”

Yang Zhao began to mutter to himself.

He had only wanted to have the gold yuan certificates circulating through the other countries, a sort of instinctive desire, but he was never sure what to call the thing the gold yuan certificates would become. When Wang Chong declared that it was a 'world currency', Yang Zhao felt like he had been enlightened.

Wang Chong merely chuckled. He had his own reasons for helping Yang Zhao.

With the calamity imminent, Yang Zhao probably did not have the time to push the gold yuan certificates on the entire world. But this could be considered an opportunity. In the future, it could serve as the foundation to establish a new world regime with the Great Tang at its center!

The gold yuan certificates were just an opening, a prelude, setting the foundation for a new human world.

Of course, Wang Chong kept all these thoughts buried deep in his heart.

Wang Chong took a sip from his tea and suddenly broached a question, shooting a glance at Yang Zhao. ”Right, Big Brother rarely visits, and Big Brother should be completely occupied with work as of late. Did something happen to make you find me?”

Buzz!

Yang Zhao remained calm, but he couldn't suppress a slight tremble. Wang Chong knew instantly that this sense had been right.

He could tell from the moment Yang Zhao came in that his mind was heavily burdened. While he might have appeared all smiles, his brow was slightly creased the entire time. He had clearly come with a problem.

After a few moments of hesitation, Yang Zhao decided to come clean, knowing that it was impossible to keep anything hidden from Wang Chong.

”Haaa, virtuous brother, you're truly sharp, your eyes like a bright mirror. Your foolish brother can't hide anything from you.

”Your foolish brother truly did come with a request.”

Yang Zhao's face turned sorrowful as he took up his tea and took a sip.

Wang Chong was rather shocked that Yang Zhao was being so frank.

”The world is at peace and the Great Tang is at the height of its power. Big Brother is also performing well as Chamberlain of Palace Revenues, with the treasury much larger than it was in the past. I've heard of all these things, so what could trouble Big Brother so?” Wang Chong curiously asked.

Yang Zhao's reaction implied that it was no minor affair, but the Three Princes had been pacified, King Qi had been deposed, Arabia had been conquered, and Yang Zhao was one of the Sage Emperor's favorites and had Consort Taizhen's support. There was basically no one in society who could oppose him, and he should have been able to sleep without any worries. What sort of matter could make him so uneasy?

Yang Zhao sighed and mournfully said, ”This… I'm afraid that I won't be able to remain as Chamberlain of Palace Revenues for very long.”

”How could this be?!”

Wang Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise.

While Yang Zhao had not been very cautious before their first meeting, ever since he had entered the palace, he had become an illustrious minister without any problems. Was it a war in the harem? Or had the Emperor found out about the gambling ring Yang Zhao had formed with the palace maids and eunuchs?

Or was it that someone had reported him for placing small amounts of money in private money houses to be loaned out?

”No, it has nothing to do with those things!”

Yang Zhao immediately knew what Wang Chong was thinking from his expression and hastily shook his head.

”It would be fine if that were really the case. At least I would understand why I had to 'die'.”

Wang Chong frowned and said, ”You're saying it's about the Sage Emperor… What in the world happened?”

He had been campaigning abroad for around six months. The Great Tang should have been at peace this entire time. Had there been an incident during this time period that he didn't know about?
