Chapter 244 The Four Major Money Villages

Since the Yongjia Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wuhu has invaded the Central Plains one after another, and the Han people in the north have been waiting for the rescue of the southern government. However, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Li Dynasties have never achieved this wish. Hundreds of years of suffering has led to the so-called "national integration".

At this time, Xue Renjiao talks about integration, because he is also a product of national integration. His father Xue Ju is not a pure Han, and his mother is even more humble.

The chair completely integrates Hu Feng into the Han culture, symbolizing the general trend of national integration. Tu Li and Xue Renjiao mentioned this in order to make Ling Feng understand the situation. Don't stick to Hu Han like his brother-in-law Song Que in the south.

Hu Yu Han and Han Hu are integrated, which is the solid foundation for the two of them to become close friends. Of course, there are also interests involved in each other's forces. If it were Song Que, no matter how much he admired and how profitable he was, he would not recognize a Hu man as a friend.

Ling Fengqi said, "As you say, the Hu bed is the current chair, and the chair stool is a new thing invented recently. So who invented this chair? When was it invented?

It's not surprising that he has been in this world for more than a year, and there are many places he has walked. Tables, chairs and benches are not much different from future generations. They have never attracted his attention. I can't imagine that this thing is still a great invention.

Tu Li sighed: "It took less than a year for the chair to become popular, and its invention was only 15 years ago. We don't know who the inventor is, but we are sure to be a Central Plainsman.

This time, he was also surprised and asked the questions that everyone was concerned about, "Why?"

Tu Li smiled and slowly drank a sip of wine, as if pulling away and said, "People without intentions will never find the subtle changes that have taken place in the past 20 years. The appearance of chairs is part of it, and the hardening of the ground in various cities is another part. With the continuous renovation and improvement of the roads between the cities by the Sui, it has facilitated the transportation of the army and the people's transactions to the greatest extent, and invisibly prosperous the trade economy of the Central Plains.

Everyone was shocked and thought about it. It was really like this.

Ling Feng recalled that he found the cement road leading to the gate when he first came out of Daxing, and said to himself, "It's not an illusion. This section of road should have been renovated recently. It must be because of the complicated cement process. This kind of cement, which is close to later generations, has been successfully developed and put into use. So, the researcher is not far from Daxing, and he must be a traveler.

Cement appeared early in human history, dating back to the mixture of lime and volcanic ash used by the ancient Romans in construction projects, but it was really improved and developed after the 18th century. There is no reason why the Sui Dynasty appeared so early. This kind of craft that benefits the country and the people will never die out because of the war.

He thought of the strange voice of the Lord and the body hidden under the black cloak that could never be seen. He had already decided that it was him who organized the research work and wondered, "What on earth does this man want to do?"

Ling Feng had to admire others. In contrast, all the physical chemistry and other knowledge he had learned was returned to the teacher after the college entrance examination. Now his memory has greatly increased. Although it can be recalled, theory is one thing, and practice is another.

After suddenly wiping the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, he said, "Have you ever noticed the gunpowder introduced from the Western Regions in the past two years?"

Ling Feng's heart was stunned, and the three women looked at each other in con's face. She said, "The gunpowder also originated from the Middle-earth. It was inadvertently invented by the Fangshi and Taoist priests when they refined the 'Xian' for the emperor from the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty. I remember that during the reign of the first emperor, someone developed gunpowder for the ternary system of saltpetre, sulfur and charcoal. People used it in acrobatic performances and puppet shows. During the Spring Festival, fireworks were released, and firelight and sound were used to dispel evil spirits and pray for blessings. Some people in the martial arts also used it to perform illusions or escape.

She paused and said, "It was not until the imperial court set up three provinces and six departments to select talents, and selected talents in an eclectic way, that someone would use gunpowder in the military and convey information through the combination of various fireworks. Is the gunpowder in the Western Regions different from Middle-earth?

Xue Renjiao and Tu Li looked at each other and sighed, "It's not just different. The explosive power of gunpowder in Middle-earth is limited, and its role is limited. And the gunpowder in this Western Regions is very different. The effect of the explosion is more than a hundred times that of it. If it is used properly, even an innate master can be killed.

At this time, Ling Feng didn't know that Li Valve had planned to blow him up with gunpowder, otherwise he would definitely break out in a cold sweat.

The powerful gunpowder is a great disaster for the nomads. Isn't it self-digging their own graves when the Hu people invent such a powerful gunpowder in the Western Regions?"

Tu Li slapped the table and praised, "Miss Wei is talking about the point. This kind of gunpowder seems to have its limitations. The output is limited, and it is rarely distributed to the market. It is limited to the north and south of our desert. There is no wind in Kanto. The leaders of all ethnic groups knew it well and traced the source together. The father, Shibi Dahan, and Ye Hu Dahan, the leader of the Western Turks, joined hands as never before. They made an open and secret visit and tried their best to find out a little bit of eyebrows.

His eyes became a little gloomy and said, "This matter is related to the future and fate of millions of ethnic groups. The father sweat put so much effort into it that his control within the clan decreased and neglected to prevent the young people. Unfortunately, he was poisoned by the plot of the family. I hate that I don't have any evidence at all."

Xue Renjiao stroked his shoulder as a comfort, and then said, "As a result, they followed the clue all the way to the west as Persia. Yun Shuai, the national teacher of the Western Turks, was originally from the Persians, and there was also a lot of power there, but after some twists and turns, he found that the source of gunpowder was Wentian Qianzhuang.

Ask Tianqianzhuang!

Ling Feng and Yu are shocked all over. Of course, they know the weight represented by these four words, and the two girls of Mingyue and Yin Zhuyu are a little like nothing. The ignorant are fearless, but their eyes are strange, as if they don't understand why they react so much.

Since Ling Feng came to this world, he has wondered how the silver ticket should appear in Song Shi, but because the original work also vaguely mentioned the flying money business (Shuanglong and Song Shidao sneaked into Chang'an as a fake identity), coupled with the inevitable mistakes in the novel, and the logic is occasionally chaotic. His arrival is like a dream, and he doesn't care about it at all. . However, there is no shortage of silver when walking in the world, and silver tickets are easy to carry and submit money in different places, which reduces the risk of robbery. He has also learned something about this.

The four major Qianzhuang was founded 20 years ago, taking the name of the famous sword cast by Ou Yezi, the master of sword casting in the Warring States Period. One is Longyuan, one is Tai'a, the other is Zhanlu, and the other is Wentian!

Among them, the questionian sword is actually a dagger, which was made by Ou Yezi with the remaining one catty and two taels of cold iron when casting the pure sword. After the dagger was cast, a red rain suddenly fell from the sky. Ou Yezi didn't know what was going on, so he named it "Wentian". Later, the dagger became the royal blade used by the royal family to kill the minister. It is said that in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin and Yuan Chonghuan died under its blade at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Ling Chi was executed. At that time, there was red rain falling, so if "ask the sky" took action, there must be the injustice of the country.

This fashion is the end of the Sui Dynasty. The Wentian dagger is not famous, but this Wentian Qianzhuang is extraordinary.

The branches of the four major Qianzhuang are called "Silver" all over China and foreign countries. In fact, there is an obvious geographical division. Longyuan is the main Central Plains, Tai'a is the main south of the Yangtze River and Bashu, Zhanlu is the main north of Sai, Liaodong Zhuhu, and Wentian is the main Tubo, the Western Regions and its further west of Persia, Dashi (Arab), Daqin (Byzantine Empire) and other countries. Because they not only operate banks, but also network all kinds of businesses, and the countries in the Western Regions do not prohibit business and are good at profit, the amount earned by Wentian Qianzhuang is the first of the four banks.

Although Ling Feng is not clear about these inside information, he also knows the huge energy contained in these four major banks. Because of the convenience of silver tickets and considerable interest, many rich businessmen will choose to deposit money in the bank.

The most important thing in running the Qianzhuang business is reputation, which requires every owner to be able to withdraw money from the village in time, and the most indispensable thing for the four major Qianzhuang is reputation. Even in the past few years of years of war, the rule of the Sui court is in danger, and Qianzhuang has also faced a short period of low tide, but still maintains good reputation and excellent management ability. As long as you save money, you can withdraw money from the silver number in all regions of the country at any time. This also guarantees the terrible vitality of the four major banks.

At present, 90% of the rich businessmen and big and small in the country are stored in the bank, and these people obviously plundered at least 90% of the wealth of the whole society. In this way, the rich landlords in the world will never let Qianzhuang collapse for their convenience and interests. In this way, they weave into an invisible huge network and connect the fate of countless superstructure personnel. It can be imagined how miserable it will be to offend these people.

No matter how heroic Ling Feng is, he dares not kill them all. Let's have a big change of blood. Once the economy collapses, the whole country will be finished. He did not learn about the economic system. When hundreds of millions of people were displaced, he was afraid that he would commit suicide and die because of guilt.

Ling Feng wiped his sweat and asked, "You Turks don't also deposit money in the bank, do you?"

Tu Li smiled bitterly and said, "There are not a thousand tribes large and small on the grassland, and there are also eight hundred, which are as strong as their ancestors. It is normal to annex and encroach on each other. It can be said that most people are living on the edge of the knife. It is difficult to ensure that they can live until the next day. The benefits of the four major banks are reflected, which are very popular with the tribal leaders, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry can be exchanged fairly.

As long as you have saved money, even if you are forced to go into exile, you can only enter the local silver number, take out the silver ticket, and enter the secret key, and you can withdraw the money. At the same time, there is extra interest to save money. How many people in the grassland don't save money?

Ling Feng analyzed and reasoned: "So when you found that the gunpowder came from Wentian Qianzhuang and realized the great harm, you wanted to get rid of this constrained situation, retrieve all the money saved, and ordered the tribes of the alliance to do so, which finally led to the dangerous usurpation. . "

He said to his head, "That's good. Father Khan's big move was obviously known by Qian Zhuang, and it was strange that Qian Zhuang did not take action. If the divestment of capital in the north of Serbia is likely to cause a chain reaction, which will then affect the Western Regions and even the Central Plains, they must contact the tribe and support agents. Jie Li obviously got along with them. It was strange that his father Khan passed away. The strangeness of Jie Li's succession to the throne, and the second uncle Chu Luo also gave in. It was incomprehensible.

Xue Renjiao said sadly, "You can probably imagine what a terrible enemy this is, right?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "I think if the four major banks don't develop the kind of gunpowder that can seriously threaten Ma Zhan, you will never want to be the enemy."

Xue Renjiao nod and said, "That's good. The four major banks control the wealth of dozens of large and small countries centered on the Central Plains, which is obviously deeply involved and attracts countless attention. They are definitely afraid to get rid of the golden cicada and leave. It is reasonable to exist. Since we can be mutually beneficial, how can we get into such a powerful enemy?

Ling Feng secretly agreed that he did not dare to compete with this giant.

However, he is still skeptical about how useful gunpowder is. After all, it is of little help except for ambush and bombing the city. To deal with the windy horse battle of nomads, the most wonderful thing is the muskets and artillery made of gunpowder. However, with the current technical conditions, it is impossible to smelt a suitable gunbore and Gun barrel.

Of course, the improvement of gunpowder means the beginning of the era of hot weapons, which is likely to completely change the traditional way of combat, and the worries of Turks are also necessary. Gunpowder will greatly reduce their advantages. The Central Plains people are very good at tricks. If they develop other combat tools, such as using a catapult to put gunpowder bags, it will be extremely unfavorable to them. Even if the horses can resist the bombardment of gunpowder, they will be shocked by the light and sound of the explosion.

Wan asked, "How could Tianqianzhuang leak the gunpowder that should be highly confidential for no reason?"

Tu Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "We can't figure this out. At that time, the ignition medicine should never be circulated on the market, because there was too little gunpowder, and the seller could not make a little money. It was impossible for the senior personnel in the bank to sell such secrets for this little money. If it's just to show the power of gunpowder, wait for the price, and let all forces negotiate with it, it should not be so secret, not to mention that Qianzhuang has no intention in this regard. It seems that it can only be explained by external means.

Mingyue picked up vegetables for Ling Feng and said, "Since Qianzhuang has developed gunpowder, it will certainly not be extremely idle and boring. Will this be a signal that marks the prelude of Qianzhuang's participation in hegemony?"

Ling Feng's heart moved, and an idea flashed away. He didn't find out what the inspiration was for a long time. He sighed that it was caused by the opportunity. He had no choice. He thanked Mingyue's thoughtfulness with his eyes and said, "I think it's possible. Maybe the four big money houses are the bright hall made by the mysterious master.

Yin Zhuyu was surprised and said, "What Lord?"

Before Ling Feng answered, Xue Renjiao frowned and said, "Isn't it? I only heard that the Lord was the leader of a mysterious sect, and I never heard that he still had this ability. Although the four major banks were only founded 20 years ago, but think about it, without a hundred years of accumulation, can it have such a scale? And when was it 20 years ago? At that time, Emperor Wen was magnificent and unified Kyushu. He was as powerful as the sun. Qianzhuang was built under his eyelids. Can he build it without his consent?

Everyone agrees with his statement, but they all change their minds. Xue Renjiao's logic is a little confused. No one has seen the Lord. Why can't the Lord be an old man who is already a hundred years old? With his meticulous thinking, he should not make such low-level mistakes.

This only shows that he has seen the Lord, and may have a more intuitive understanding of the Lord.

Even Tu Li had a pimple in his heart.
