Saint Immortal Way

() At present, the transactions of all the tribes in the entire North Flame Prison Wasteland are all barter, which is not in the interests of Princess Shouyang and Lu Yang, so the forty or so rather simple Huitong Banks have all been upgraded to branches of Huitong Bank .

The establishment of Huitong Bank is very low-key, and not many people will notice the difference between the establishment of this "bank" and the bank.

The first secret action of the bank was to mint coins. Like the Great Kuang Dynasty, Huitong Bank minted four standard coins. The first was red gold, and the second was patterned silver. They are five taels and ten taels respectively.The third type is silver dollar Tongbao, the fourth type is red copper Tongbao, and the last type is ordinary copper coins, one coin is one penny.

Huitong Bank is now equivalent to casting private money, because it has not been authorized by the Da Kuang Dynasty.But now the entire North Flame Prison Wasteland is still under Lu Yang's control, and Princess Shouyang has not reported to the imperial court and Baisheng Taimiao, so there is plenty of time to plan the territory in advance.

The five types of coins are similar to Da Kuang coins, and the color is almost exactly the same, but the patterns and characters on the coins are different, and the coins produced are more exquisite and detailed, and all of them are branded with the brand of "Supervised by Huitong Bank".

In addition to these five kinds of coins, there are also silver notes and gold notes, with denominations of 100 taels, 200 taels, 500 taels, and 1000 taels. Both silver notes and gold notes are bills with large denominations, suitable for large transactions.

In order to mint coins, Princess Shouyang is very busy. She needs to bring coin minting equipment and craftsmen from the barren state to Yanhe City, and organize people to mine several gold, silver and copper mines located at the southern foot of Yanhe Volcano.

Flame Prison City is a large city jointly built by the Fire Tribe and the Mona Tribe. It is now small and small. It was just a big camp at first, but after the population gathered, it gradually became urbanized.

This is a big city that is more prosperous than Songhua City, with a larger population. All the places along the river in Yanyu City have been opened up. At a glance, they are all rice fields and pastures.

In the Flame Prison City, Cross Avenue runs through east, west, north, south, and the headquarter of Huitong Bank is located in the central square of Cross Avenue. There are shops on both sides of the entire avenue. There are even more fire vendors on the avenue, and all kinds of shouts come and go.

The hustle and bustle is all for profit. Since Lu Yang opened the trade route from the Huoshi tribe to the barren state early, the Huoshi barbarians of the Huoshi tribe and the surrounding brother tribes have tasted the sweetness. Planting herbs, herding cattle and sheep, and tidying up fur have become a reality. A highly sought-after job among Fire Nation barbarians.

Now this kind of business is taken over by Huitong Bank and Datong Commercial Bank, which makes Huitong Bank and Datong Commercial Bank have a constant stream of people coming and going.

After the people of the Fire Tribe sold their goods to Datong Commercial Bank, they got coins issued by Huitong Bank. The Fire Tribe did not trust gold and silver notes, but they welcomed Chijin, Wenyin and Tongbao very much.

The same is true for Songhua City. The exquisite red gold, grain silver and Tongbao are very popular and gradually circulated in the market, gradually eroding the barter model.

Huitong Bank even opened a fixed deposit business that saves money and earns interest. This is a killer feature. It suddenly makes people with extra money overjoyed, but many people still have doubts and are in the wait-and-see stage. Deposit money at Huitong Bank.

Gathering private idle capital is a major function of the bank, through which it mobilizes the finance of the whole society and promotes the circulation of money.

As Huitong Bank gradually became rich, it began to carry out various investment and loan businesses.Huitong Bank's largest investment is to develop mines, open pastures, and reclaim farmland and medicine fields.Every investment is a large-scale investment, attracting a large number of barbarians to settle down and buy properties.

The other clans quickly discovered the huge benefits, and began to frantically enclose land in the North Flame Prison wasteland, recruit barbarians, and invest in real estate.

For example, the Cao family, Lu family, Ye family, and Huang family brought a lot of resources from the Great Kuang Dynasty, bought land on the Flame Prison wasteland, built pastures, opened up good fields, planted elixir and good mulberry, and opened various workshops And shops, but they have seized all the profitable industries in the barren state.

The Huoshi tribe and the barbarians of the surrounding brother tribes are not fools either. They unite and have strong capital. After cooperating with Huitong Bank, they open mines, build pastures, and medicine fields, and become the main force in local commerce. The Northern Flame Prison Wasteland that has been occupied by melons.

In view of the huge wealth brought about by the conquest of the wilderness, Luqiu County has been mobilized several times. Many members of the Lu family who were not living well even moved their families to Yanyu City and Songhua City to buy land and properties and start businesses.

Many branches of the Huang clan that Huang Zongxi belonged to were also persuaded. Most of the Huang clan members "separated" and moved their families to Yanyu City and Songhua City. There is only one reason. It's gold, and it's easy to pick up.

First of all, the land in the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland is cheap, just like cabbage, the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland is sparsely populated, and the land is sold in terms of a hundred acres, and a hundred acres only cost a few taels of silver. There are large tracts of virgin forests and non-strategic resources. The mines are also open for sale, and a thousand taels of gold ticket can buy a jade mine, or a carbon stone mine... Such kinds of profitable transactions make people crazy.

The role of Huitong Bank is extremely huge. As long as every member of the Lu clan comes to the North Flame Prison Wasteland, even if they are penniless, they can borrow hundreds of taels of silver from the bank, buy land, buy properties, or plant agricultural products. Mulberry, or silkworm dyeing, can buy a property and become a big landlord.

Driven by profit, Luqiu County has long been a sensation, and a large number of Lu clan members moved to the North Flame Prison Wasteland, becoming the first batch of property owners, big landlords and big businessmen.

Some people who were related to the Lu family were also moved, and they went to the North Flame Prison wasteland to "digg for gold". As long as they proved that they were from the Dakuang Dynasty, they could get a loan from the bank and buy a house as soon as they turned around.

Flame Prison City and Songhua City prospered rapidly, and Kyushu people from Da Kuang were seen on the streets all the time. Their arrival quickly brought various thoughts of the Dynasty to the wild tribes.

This is the collision of two cultures, just like the west wind blowing east in another world.

Those barbarian children who went to private schools, when it was time to let go, listened to books and operas on the street, and some even went to restaurants as waiters to make a lot of money.

Such a situation created a scene where the two big cities on the wasteland of the Northern Flame Prison were bustling with businessmen gathering and flourishing.

When most of the land resources were sold, Princess Shouyang and Lu Yang were already smiling. This was simply a money grab, several times faster than casting money.

Huitong Bank quickly became a behemoth, virtually controlling every aspect of the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland.

The big camp outside Songhua City was full of smoke and dust all day long, and the army was gearing up and preparing to send troops to sweep.After inspecting the camp, Princess Shouyang directly returned to the barren state on a cloud-bound flying boat and went straight to the capital of the gods.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Wen was reviewing the memorial when suddenly an internal official came to report: "Five elders have come to see you, saying that it is urgent!" Emperor Wen frowned, thinking that at this time the elders had already eaten at home. What was it that alarmed several important officials of the imperial court?

Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "Xuan!"

The internal officials obeyed the order, and after a while, five veteran officials in purple robes entered the Shang study.

"Ministers are not resting at home, why do you think of coming to see me at this time, what's the matter?" Emperor Wen laughed.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has just received the above form from His Royal Highness Shouyang, with dozens of books attached, including the attachment letters of the barbarian tribes in the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland. I have read them one by one, and feel that this matter is not trivial, so I took the liberty to bother you." Your Majesty!"

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Wen was taken aback, a little unbelievable, but he also knew that although Princess Shouyang was young, she was always smart and reliable in her work, so she would never fool herself with non-existent things.

"Okay, present the above list and booklet!" Emperor Wen said.

The elders in the pavilion waved their hands, and immediately an internal official presented the memorandum, and there were several books in the tray, which were the attachments of the major fire tribes and copper tribes.

Emperor Wen looked at the memorial table first, and it turned out to be the memorial table written by Princess Shouyang herself. It mentioned the attachment of many fire tribes and copper tribes in the North Flame Prison wasteland.

When Emperor Wen looked at the playlist, he was immediately excited. After reading the books that were waiting to be picked up one by one, his hands were already trembling slightly, not because he was afraid, but because he was too excited and excited.

Three days ago, he had just ordered the imperial dynasty's three-way army to move out, and the southern expedition began.

The army of the Southern Expedition has only just begun to arrive in the south of Huangzhou and Zezhou. It is estimated that they are setting up camp and preparing to start a war against the wild cities and tribes in the Mesopotamia. I did not expect that at this time, the Southern Expedition to the North Flame Prison Wasteland outside the Mesopotamia Princess Shouyang dared to be the first in the world, took the lead, and won more than hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of territory for the dynasty?

"Great kindness, great kindness! As expected of my son, he really has grown the prestige of my dynasty!" Emperor Wen couldn't help it anymore, raised his head and laughed, and the five elders beside him also smiled.

"What the Holy Majesty said is that His Royal Highness Shouyang is very heroic and has lived up to His Majesty's painstaking efforts. She has never been able to do a good job in the barren state. She simply pulled out talents and invented alchemy. Now she is invincible in the North Flame Prison Wasteland and opened up the frontier for the dynasty. Tuotu, this kind of achievement is rare in the 400 years of the dynasty!" Chen Ge said with a smile.

"Extremely extreme, His Highness Shouyang's achievements are obvious to all!" The other elders reconsidered.

Emperor Wen nodded and sighed: "I have always known that this emperor has great ambitions, but unfortunately, it would be great if she were a man!"

The elders were silent for a while, and after a while, elder Chen Ge said: "Your Majesty, this memorial was submitted by His Royal Highness Shouyang. I heard that she has arrived in Beijing. Should I call her over to ask questions right away? I can wait." Listen to His Highness's words for yourself, and then send someone to the North Flame Prison Wasteland to verify as soon as possible?"

"Yes, come on, Xuan Shouyang will see you immediately!" Emperor Wen slapped his forehead and said immediately.

After two sticks of incense, Princess Shouyang came to the Minister's study to have an audience, playing duet in court, and Longyan was very happy.Emperor Wen left Princess Shouyang and the elders of the Five Great Pavilions in the palace for a banquet. After the banquet, he gave Princess Shouyang a picture of "A Thousand Miles of Cold Mountains".

Princess Shouyang was the first to take the lead, and the news spread outside the palace that she had won a large area of ​​the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland. Hundreds of officials and people were shocked. All the private soldiers were jealous and angry, wishing they could sweep the hole in the courtyard, conquer the entire Mesopotamia in one fell swoop, and make immortal feats for the dynasty!
