"kill!"
Next to an official road in Jingchu, a fight was going on.
In the pouring rain, a group of men in black armed with sophisticated weapons slashed at the caravan guards.
The guards tried their best to resist, but they were outnumbered after all.
They protected the goods and money on the carriage with their lives.
But this heavy rain only gave them blood and death.
"kill!"
"For Liangzhou!"
"Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce!"
But this group of guards is still not afraid.
Faced with the attacks of this gang of robbers, and seeing fewer and fewer comrades around them, they still looked at death with a look on their faces. Because they know that after they die, their wives and children will be taken care of! If they die, someone will avenge them!
If they die, Young Master will make the decision for them!
kill!
Wave after wave of impact.
Wave after wave of blood.
Death comes in waves.
This group of Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce guards did not truly lose their position until the last person died.
In heavy rain.
The group of masked "robbers" in black quietly watched all this happen.
Judging from their posture, they must be soldiers who have undergone strict military training.
Facing such a bloody "enemy", even they couldn't help but dismounted and bent down to pay tribute.
"Pack your belongings and leave!"
"yes!"
Give an order.
This team responsible for transporting gold and silver supplies to Liaodong disappeared on the road.
at the same time.
The same scene was staged in different places in Longyan.
The Liaodong plan has not yet begun.
These teams, which came from all directions to transport gold and silver, were robbed by various forces.
People start with the mentality of seeing a joke.
At the end, I started to feel sorry for Liu Zheng.
Because the gold and silver in each cart is really not a small amount. That's real money.
It can be seen that he sincerely wants to develop the Great Northern Wilderness. He truly wants to do this thing that benefits the people. Many people from various places even voluntarily organized "Silver Guard Teams" to protect the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce's transportation team so that they could leave their own territory safely.
However, how can they withstand those robberies with ulterior motives?
…
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
"This is what happened, this is what happened, who will tell me!"
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Xie Tianyao was furious and shouted angrily: "We Long Yan, when did thieves run rampant like this? The thieves are restless! Huh? Who will give me an explanation!"
A group of ministers were as silent as a cicada.
"Your Majesty, the weather has changed suddenly in recent days, and food and grass reserves have become a big deal. It is normal for these thieves to act upon the news..."
Xie Tianyao picked up the incense burner and threw it at the minister who spoke: "Is this normal?"
"There are so many thieves and bandits hiding in my world. Do you think it's normal for me?"
"Um?"
"Where do the funds for suppressing bandits every year go? How do we feed you!"
"Tell those trash to find me and arrest them. If they don't give me an explanation for this matter, they will all come to the capital to take the blame!"
"yes!"
…
It is bright.
It's getting colder.
The people of Jinzhou put on thick clothes and either took the time to harvest the unripe grain, or went into the mountains to chop firewood in preparation for the winter.
The King of Jin was also discussing the purchase of charcoal.
on the other hand.
He also heard that Liu Zheng's Liaodong plan had encountered its first setback.
That means no money.
So for whatever reason, he hasn't come to see his "Master Liu" for several days.
King Yong and King Wei were very anxious.
Every day is like an ant on a hot pot.
This is someone taking control of your life!
Liu Zheng was still not in a hurry.
Others think he is in a hurry, but he actually thinks that everything that is happening now is a good thing. The money lost was nothing to him. Yes. It's just tens of millions of taels of silver, which is just a few months' profit from Silver Beach City. But the loss of these gold and silver will, no doubt, be told to the world. Today's monetary system has reached a stage in urgent need of reform.
The ancient transportation and trade methods can no longer keep up with the development needs of Long Yan's commerce.
The popularity of banks has reached a very necessary moment.
As mentioned before, rent is paid by ticket number. So, why can’t I use my ticket number to make other payments across the country? Then those chambers of commerce will transport the materials they need to Liaodong in batches? Why must all gold and silver be transported to Liaodong and then trade activities there?
This unscientific.
He believes that the more he loses this time, the more other wealthy businessmen and wealthy people will pay more attention to this issue.
This is directly proportional.
The creation of banks and the issuance of currency also have theoretical and practical support.
Liu Zheng is not stupid.
He had expected this to happen before. So he had already asked Qing Yangshuo to send some people to use Yinzhou coins to purchase some supplies. These supplies would be transported to Liaodong by those chambers of commerce. At least these supplies are safe.
and.
Paying with Yinzhou coins will form a sharp contrast with the oldest payment method.
so.
This time the bank was conceived.
He plans to straighten the Yinzhou coin.
Become a real currency.
This time, the two royal palaces of Liangzhou and Jinzhou will endorse the credit of Yinzhou coins.
enough.
Waited another two days.
Wei Tiezhu finally arrived with a team.
Liu Zheng welcomed his brother in the autumn rain again, and he hugged him hard with excitement.
The last move is finally here.
He told King Yong that he could go and invite King Jin.
"Hahahaha, thanks for the hard work, Brother Wei! Did you encounter any dangers on the way?"
Liu Zheng ignored that Wei Tiezhu was covered in mud, grabbed him and made love with him before pulling him into the house.
Wei Tiezhu quickly shook his head: "What the young master said, it should be, it should be! Hahahaha, there is danger, but they see that what we pull are just iron lumps, and they soon lose interest!"
Everyone laughed.
"Quickly, quickly, bring in what the young master wants!"
Wei Tiezhu said excitedly.
A few brothers behind him carried a stove in.
Then, Wei Tiezhu said excitedly: "Sir, don't tell me, this briquette stove is really useful! Master, this time, we have brought a lot of people here!"
Liu Zheng took a look and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be so much. It's not like there is no steel in Jinzhou and Liaodong. If there is no steel, we will build factories."
That's right!
This is Liu Zheng's last move!
Briquette stove!
This thing looks simple, but in fact, it is very useful. Let’s talk about this briquette first. In fact, it is the briquettes of later generations. A cylindrical thing with a honeycomb shape and circular holes distributed on it.
Let’s look at the briquette stove.
In fact, it is a cylinder made of iron sheet, divided into two parts by an iron pestle. The upper part is the furnace and the lower part is the vent. There is also a damper to adjust the size of the fire.
At first glance.
This thing is not much different from the charcoal basin used in ancient times.
However, you will find out when you use it for a long time.
The advantages of this briquette stove are simply beyond words.
It can boil water, cook, and keep warm. Moreover, gas poisoning can be avoided. Resistant to burning and lasts a long time.
The most important thing.
It’s still the cost of the briquettes.
Very low.
Briquettes are originally made from the lowest quality coal powder and mixed with clay, and the proportion of clay is very high.
There is such a thing.
Liaodong is cold and miserable, what should we fear?
At this time.
King Jin is here.
