From the gate of heaven

Chapter 141 [Do you want to know more about swarm drone debt collection? 】

In the next period of time, Fufeng County also became busy.

The first is the most important cement firing and railway train construction. After receiving the drawings given by Lin Ze, the craftsmen gathered by Ji Qingyan began to learn and understand and then began to follow the instructions to produce the finished product.

During this period, Lin Ze went back to Fengping County, found thirty and a half-year-old teenagers from his family members, and sent them to the factory as apprentices to learn these techniques from these craftsmen.

After the reproduction is successful, the next step is to recruit more manpower for large-scale production.

This matter is not too difficult. After all, the firing of cement and the construction of entry-level railways and steam trains are not high thresholds, but it takes a lot of time to achieve the goal.

On the other side, as the cement factory and the railway company began to prepare, a trading market began to be set up outside the South Gate of Fufeng County.

This trading bazaar purchases various mountain treasures, fur ores produced in the Hengduan Mountains, and also sells daily necessities such as grain, salt, and cloth. They are all traded at market prices, and the mountain people do not choose to increase prices because of the poor output. They knock at the bones and suck out the marrow.

Just like the role of the Beihaiguan Grassland Mutual Market, it is mainly to attract mountain people to come down the mountain.

At the beginning, naturally no one came to the trading market here.

The mountain people of the Hengduan Mountains have been hostile to the Zhou Dynasty for more than a year or two, and the trust between the two sides is almost zero.

But Ji Qingyan used a trick to drain the firepower. First, she cut off the caravans that used to enter the mountain for trade, and did not allow them to secretly transport supplies to the mountain. Then she sent people to inform them that they could trade supplies outside the South Gate in the future.

The material output within the Hengduan Mountains is already poor. Without caravans entering the mountains to purchase the rare furs they produce and bring the materials they need, in the long run, their already poor life will be made even worse.

On the contrary, if you trade down the mountain, there is still a way to survive if the other party is trustworthy.

It’s already clear how to choose.

As a result, some brave people began to try to trade at the Nanmenguan market with the furs they had stored at home.

Then they were surprised to find that although these Zhou troops patrolled around the market to maintain order, they did not kill them.

In addition, the price of his mountain treasures and furs was several times higher than in the past, and the price of purchasing materials was several times lower, making huge profits from going back and forth.

Even if their own increased labor costs for long distances are deducted, it is still more profitable.

At this time, the mountain people in the Hengduan Mountains discovered how much money those businessmen who had helped them live a better life in their eyes and whom they praised had made from them.

As a result, some smart-minded people began to go back to the mountains to buy supplies from other uninformed mountain people and transport them out of the mountains to sell.

However, this situation only lasted for a short time. News of the market spread among many mountain people groups in the Hengduan Mountains. People no longer foolishly sold their excess materials at home to Erdao dealers, but chose to go out to the mountains to transport them themselves. Go to the market to sell supplies.

Under such circumstances, the popularity of Nanmenguan Market suddenly grew.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Qingyan took the second step. She asked her stewards to take action and began to recruit these mountain people to build the railway.

Although the rails, concrete materials, and trains needed to build the railway are not ready, some preliminary road leveling work can be started in advance.
-
On the south gate gate tower, Lin Ze and Ji Qingyan stood side by side, watching the lively scene in the market below the gate.

Many mountain people brought their families with them and carried the furs and mountain treasures they had accumulated in their daily lives. They weighed and sold them at the steward of the Princess Mansion, and then used the money to buy the rice, flour, salt and other daily necessities they needed.

This comes and goes, and profits are generated.

"It's really like spending money like water."

At this time, Ji Qingyan sighed.

You can also make a lot of money by opening a market. Because it is a monopoly business, you can make a stable 3000 taels of silver every day.

But the investment is also amazing.

Cement factories and railway companies are all consuming funds like crazy. Although the market is making money, it is also squeezing liquidity. Basically, all the liquidity in Ji Qingyan's hands has been poured into it, leaving only what she needs for daily practice. of some money.

In fact, if it weren't for the increase in grain production brought about by chemical fertilizers, which could feed the extra population in the Hengduan Mountains, Ji Qingyan would not be able to survive in this market that can earn as little as 10 taels of silver a month.

"I'll lend you 100 billion, with only 5.00% interest per year, and I'll pay you in gold and silver after one year."

"Right now, I am investing in the construction of this railway into the Hengduan Mountains myself, but after a while, I will take over your imperial brother's railway order. Building a nationwide railway will require a huge amount of start-up capital. You can't do it without money."

At this time, Lin Ze on the side naturally opened his mouth to expand his business.

100 billion yuan is 1000 million taels of silver.

Linze's copper coin factory has been in operation for more than four months now. It is producing copper coins at a rapid rate of 1.2 million coins per day. So far, the total output has exceeded 150 billion coins.

Although Lin Ze has been flowing copper coins into the market of the Zhou Dynasty by paying salaries to his industrial employees and exchanging them with gold banks, there are still a lot of copper coins left. If Ji Qingyan wants to borrow money, Lin Ze can Take out these copper coins immediately.

And Ji Qingyan is also a very good business target. Her status as a princess guarantees her credit, so she doesn't have to worry about running away if she doesn't pay back the money she owes. Secondly, once Lin Ze starts the business with her, the funds in her hand will be Crazy increase.

Repayment ability is guaranteed.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Ze is not afraid that she will not pay back the money.

"it is good."

Ji Qingyan glanced at Lin Ze and nodded in agreement.

Lin Ze only charges an annual interest rate of 5.00%, which is extremely conscientious compared to the loan that comes out nine times and returns thirteen times. Under normal circumstances, Ji Qingyan would not be able to get such a low interest rate when borrowing money. It is at least [-]%. annual interest.

She really needs money. With this huge start-up capital, even if she has to pay interest of 50 taels a year, she can earn more later.

"Well, I'll give you the voucher and go to Fengping County to withdraw the money."

Lin Ze took out a stack of exchange vouchers from Zhiyuan Gold Bank, totaling one hundred vouchers worth [-] million each.

Of course, Lin Ze could actually send the money directly to Ji Qingyan, but he found it too troublesome.

It is not troublesome to open the Heavenly Gate and send 100 billion or [-] tons of copper coins to Fufeng County. It only consumes a little bit of luck and mental power to transport these copper coins and use the space in your pocket. These costs are spent on transporting the copper coins from the main world. Also bear responsibility.But once the money arrives, another problem is counting it.

This process can be cumbersome, and even counting by weight takes a lot of time and energy.

Therefore, Lin Ze chose to send these copper coins to his treasury in Fengping County, leaving it to his subordinates.
-
"Are you, the Truth Sect, secretly minting copper coins?"

At this time, Ji Qingyan took the exchange voucher, wrote an IOU to Lin Ze, and then asked the question from the soul.

According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the private sector was not allowed to mint currency.

In fact, the main reason why the Zhou Dynasty used gold and silver as currency was that there were not enough copper coins. The copper coins minted by the Zhou Dynasty over the years were added to the copper coins minted by many previous dynasties, and the damaged parts were deducted. There are probably only 5000 billion copper coins left.

Considering that many copper coins were buried by some powerful landlords and families, there may not actually be 1000 billion copper coins circulating in the market.

Lin Ze easily got tens of billions of copper coins here. Ji Qingyan remembered that the [-] million coins she got last time were all brand new, so she immediately guessed that Lin Ze was minting coins privately.

"Well, gold and silver are important industrial materials. The output is scarce and difficult to mine. The output of copper is relatively high. Although it is not profitable to make copper coins, it can collect a lot of gold and silver in the world for use. "

"In fact, the reason why I lent you 100 billion copper coins this time was to expose my ability to mint copper coins, instead of lending you 1000 million taels of silver, because I wanted to take this opportunity to reach a cooperation with the Zhou royal family. "

"I hope that in the future, all the copper coins produced here can be sold to your Zhou royal family at the price of one thousand coins per tael of silver and ten thousand coins per tael of gold."

"This cooperation has two benefits. The first is that your royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty can save the fire cost of minting currency. This part alone is estimated to save tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. The second point is that in the market More money flowing around will help you collect taxes.”

"When collecting taxes, it is still very troublesome to collect grain, cloth and the like directly. It is better to collect money directly. Then there are a lot of labor, poll taxes and the like. If people have money, they can just pay the taxes directly. "

"Maybe next year, your financial revenue will increase by tens of millions of dollars."

Lin Ze nodded and promised. This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Forcibly pretending to be stupid is nothing more than an insult to people's IQ.

In the past, Lin Ze would have pretended to only mix the copper coins he made into small transactions and flow them to the market.

But since he realized that the world is so far away and his self-preservation ability has been fully developed, he is no longer too lazy to pretend.

After being able to protect himself, Lin Ze is not afraid of the other party using force against him. At this time, making a request for cooperation that is beneficial to both parties can further dispel the other party's resistance to having their rights violated and eliminate possible disputes.

In this case, if you take big steps forward, the development speed will directly start to snowball.

Ji Qingyan digested Lin Ze's words for a moment, and then asked with confirmation: "Can I exchange gold and silver for copper coins on a fixed basis? Are they all of the same quality as the copper coins I got from you before?"

Lin Ze nodded.

His copper coins are more real than real and not adulterated at all.

It was nothing more than using the efficient production of industry to save costs, and then using the difference in gold and silver exchange ratios to make profits. There was no real loss for the Zhou Dynasty.

This is also Ji Qingyan's question. Are you casting copper coins privately?Instead of you minting counterfeit coins?

"Save the firepower of minting coins, increase the money circulating in the market, and collect more taxes. The only price you have to pay is gold and silver whose denominations are too large and are not very convenient for circulation."

"If this continues for a long time, all the gold and silver on the market will disappear. But apart from making gold and silver jewelry a little more troublesome, there seems to be no harm in it."

Ji Qingyan thought about it and didn't notice any disadvantages.

Copper coins are different from banknotes. This is a currency with value. The copper itself is the basic guarantee of its value. It can still be used after changing dynasties. This does not mean that it is worthless without official endorsement.

For Lin Ze, gold and silver have the advantage of exchange ratio and can make money in the main world.

But for the other world, gold and silver are nothing more than precious metal currencies and decorations, and do not have much practical significance.

"I will mention this to the emperor."

Ji Qingyan finally said this, but she did not directly agree. She did not have the right.

Lin Ze didn't care either.

If Ji Yuan agrees to cooperate, then he can plunder the gold and silver in World 2 faster and return to the main world. If the other party does not agree to cooperate, it will just be slower.

Anyway, this is something he has always wanted to do. Gold and silver trading in the two worlds is currently his industry with the highest return rate.
-
The conversation between the two ended here, and Ji Qingyan went to report the situation to his brother.

Lin Ze began to practice.

After repeated verifications, Lin Ze was sure that there was nothing wrong with the Zhou Tian Magic Skill he learned from Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan, brother and sister.

At this moment, Lin Ze began to formally practice this peerless magical skill.

He held the sword, took a stance, and began to practice according to the content of the technique.

After just practicing for a while, Lin Ze discovered the difference between this peerless magical skill and the previous ones.

In the meridians and acupuncture points, the internal energy is flowing at a high speed. All the flesh, blood, bones and organs of the whole body are mobilized at this time, and the energy and blood are flowing up and down the whole body.

Lin Ze could clearly feel that the food he had eaten in his stomach was being digested rapidly, his body was constantly getting stronger, and the inner energy in the meridians and acupuncture points was refining and accumulating at a speed visible to the naked eye. More power.

"Externally, it speeds up the consumption of food and improves one's ability to obtain external energy. Internally, it effectively mobilizes the qi and blood of the whole body to strengthen its origin."

"This complete peerless magical skill can be practiced so fast. It is more than ten times faster than the superior martial arts. If you continue to practice at this speed, I think it won't be long before you can break through to the realm of Yun Shen. "

Lin Ze sensed his own state, and some emotions of wonder emerged in his heart.

Just when Lin Ze wanted to continue practicing, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Ok?"
