Chapter 306: Great Wei Bank, gold system, demands from major forces
Shenwu cannon
Came with massive gold shipments.
In full view of the people of Kyoto, even the dignitaries in Kyoto were dumbfounded by the visual impact of the Golden Stone.
No one has ever seen so much gold.
If so much gold is piled together, it can be called a golden mountain.
It's jaw-dropping.
Soon, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Punishment sent people to take over the gold and make sure there were no errors in the inventory.
The Shenwu Cannon was also personally escorted by five first-level experts from the Immortal Sect, but Xu Qingxiao had made arrangements, and the two dynasties did not know who had the Shenwu Cannon.
They will go to the Tuxie Dynasty first, and then to the Chu Yuan Dynasty, and the first-level warriors from the two dynasties will also be waiting at the corresponding locations.
In other words, if seven first-grade escorts escort two divine cannons, who would dare to make a mistake?
At the critical moment, these two Shenwu cannons also represent two first-class people. In other words, there are nine first-class people in total, and it is impossible for them to dare to make trouble.
No matter how powerful Prince Yongping is, he cannot compete with him.
However, self-confidence is self-confidence, and caution should be exercised.
After all, this transaction attracted the attention of the whole world, and the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty were the most nervous.
I'm just worried that something might go wrong in the middle.
In a large hall.
The two princes Tuxie and Chuyuan led a group of subordinates to wait in the palace.
All supplies are being sorted out, and they are quietly waiting for the results.
The supplies were definitely fine, but the two princes were still a little uneasy. Not to mention them, even the two emperors behind them still couldn't believe that Wei would be willing to give the Shenwu cannon to them.
It's like dreaming.
But at this moment, Wang Xinzhi, the Minister of Rites, slowly walked into the hall and slightly bowed his hands towards the two princes.
"I have met the two princes."
Wang Xinzhi came up and held his hands towards the two of them.
The two princes did not dare to ask for help, so they immediately went back to pay homage, and then laughed.
"May I ask Wang Shangshu, how about the material inventory?"
Prince Tuxie opened his mouth and immediately asked about the material liquidation issue.
When he heard this, Wang Xinzhi didn't show off, he looked at the two of them and spoke bluntly.
"Two princes, the Prince of Pingchao explained that the two dynasties cooperated in good faith and the liquidation of materials was just a process. The prince has already sent people to the two dynasties to deliver the main trunk of the Shenwu cannon."
"What the two princes need to escort this time is the formation jade. Double insurance. If the formation jade is broken, at least the main body is still there. At worst, I will send someone to visit it twice."
"If the main body is destroyed, there is no need to worry. I believe the two dynasties can also refine it. All in all, the prince hopes that this transaction will go smoothly."
"This transaction not only represents the friendship between the three Koreas, but also hopes that Central Continent will be stable, but there are many people in the world who do not want Central Continent to be so stable."
"So, the two princes should pay more attention."
When Wang Xinzhi spoke, he reminded the two of them, and the latter immediately understood what Wang Xinzhi meant.
They understand this.
So after nodding, the two of them didn't say much.
About two hours later, everyone started to return.
They came quickly and left quickly. They had no time to waste and had to leave quickly.
That's it.
Then there seemed to be some panic.
For the common people, this is just a transaction, for the stability of Central Continent.
But for many people, this transaction is fraught with danger.
If you are not careful, someone will take action secretly and ruin this deal.
There are definitely not a few people who do not want Central Continent to be so stable.
But the final result is very satisfying.
Just two hours.
The first rank of the Wei Dynasty has escorted the main body to the two dynasties.
The troops from both sides rushed back almost as fast as they could.
Eight hours later, the two princes also sent the formation jade to the two dynasties.
As soon as the Shenwu cannon arrived, Emperor Tuxie and Emperor Chuyuan had people draw up imperial edicts for the two dynasties. In the text, they were extremely grateful to the Wei Dynasty and expressed the wishes of the two dynasties.
Middle-earth will surely be stable.
This transaction also came to an end with the arrival of the two imperial edicts.
Tuxie Dynasty.
On a plain.
Divine and powerful cannons were mounted on the high mountains, and hundreds of civil and military officials, ministers, princes and princes of the Manchu Dynasty arrived one after another.
Following the order from Emperor Tuxie.
At this moment, the Shenwu Cannon was activated.
In an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and beams of lightning sank into the Shenwu cannon.
The terrifying thunder was deafening, and the lightning shot into the sky, like dragons, piercing the sky.
Boom.
The next moment, the Shenwu Cannon, injected with infinite thunder power, instantly exploded with unparalleled power.
A beam of lightning pushed across three hundred miles, the earth collapsed, the sun and the moon lost light, and the towering mountains turned into flat ground in an instant. The terrifying lightning also completely reduced the plain to nothing.
Unparalleled power, destroying everything.
In the face of this kind of power, the powerful officials of the Tuxie Dynasty were completely dumbfounded.
The princes, nobles, civil servants and generals were also completely paralyzed.
They knew that the Shenwu Cannon was very powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful. It was simply unparalleled power.
To say he is invincible is definitely not an exaggeration.
Such power moved even the Tuxie Emperor.
Enter the dragon chariot.
Emperor Tuxie stood up. Looking at this scene, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials bowed to Emperor Tuxie and looked extremely excited.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. With such divine artifacts, the Tuxie dynasty will be stable for the ages."
All the officials knelt down and worshiped on the ground, firstly because they were shocked by the Shenwu cannon, and they spoke from the bottom of their hearts.
The second is to flatter Emperor Tuxie and make him happy.
On top of the dragon chariot, facing the worship of the ministers, Emperor Tuxie felt inexplicably heroic.
However, he also knew that this Shenwu cannon was not his own, after all, it was given to him by others.
Therefore, Emperor Tuxie took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and looked at Baiguandao.
"The Wei Dynasty has such a magical thing, but doesn't know how to use it. Now we have seized the opportunity and asked for it."
"This means that God is helping me, and God is also taking care of my Tuxie."
"Otherwise, this kind of divine object, whether obtained by our dynasty or the Chu Yuan dynasty, can dominate the entire Central Continent. How can it be possible to make a deal?"
Emperor Tuxie was deeply moved.
He thought Da Wei was really stupid, but at the same time, he also understood that Da Wei was forced.
But no matter whether it is forced or otherwise, the final result is beneficial to them, and this is a good result.
"Your Majesty, I have inspected the situation of the Shenwu cannon. If nothing happens, I will be able to build three of them within three years."
At this moment, the Minister of Industry came out. He was full of confidence and said that he wanted to build three gates.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Tuxie couldn't help but be overjoyed, while other ministers also looked shocked.
This one is so terrifying, if there are three of them, wouldn't they be invincible?
"Okay, very good. I will immediately issue an order to assist you in building the divine cannon. If you can build three divine cannons within three years, it will be even more powerful for me, Tu Xie."
"It's not that I'm arrogant. If you build three more divine cannons, plus this one, my Tuxie will have four divine cannons. I think the Great Wei can only do this."
Emperor Tuxie said with great confidence.
Based on this power, Emperor Tuxie could roughly calculate how many divine cannons the Wei Dynasty had.
However, the emperor is so confident, and ministers cannot be blindly confident. At this moment, someone couldn't help but say, it was Prime Minister Tuxie.
"Your Majesty, Wei dares to send two divine cannons, but I'm afraid their number will not be less than ten. We should be more cautious."
He spoke out to remind Emperor Tuxie at the critical moment not to be conceited or arrogant.
As soon as he said these words, the voice of the Minister of Industry could not help but sound.
"Prime Minister, I understand what you mean, but this divine cannon is indeed made of top-grade spiritual gold. Even if the Wei Dynasty has the means to refine it, it does not have so many materials."
"The top-grade spiritual gold that our dynasty possesses can only be used to refine three gates. Why can the Great Wei refine more than ten gates? Counting the six major immortal sects, the Great Wei cannot gather so much top-grade spiritual gold."
The Minister of Industry was dissatisfied, thinking that the Wei Dynasty did not have so many divine cannons.
But in the end, he continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to build more divine cannons, but Your Majesty must also focus on the material issue. After this transaction, the Chu Yuan Dynasty will definitely collect the best spiritual gold. I am afraid that the Wei Dynasty is also collecting it secretly."
"We must not fall behind. We must deploy war and plunder other forces' top-quality spiritual gold."
The Minister of Works proposed the proposal, and as soon as he said this, the Ministry of War immediately responded.
As long as it is about fighting, the Ministry of War will not refuse.
However, Emperor Tuxie understood what the other party meant, but he shook his head and said.
"There is no need for this at the moment. You can deploy in advance, but do not go to war. The reason why Wei is willing to trade is that it does not want a war. Now in order to exchange for Shenwu cannons, everyone in the country has paid a huge price."
"Recuperate first and discuss the future matters later."
Emperor Tuxie did not advocate conquest.
As he opened his mouth, the ministers said nothing more.
same.
What happened in the Tuxie Dynasty was the same in the Early Yuan Dynasty.
After everyone saw the power of the Shenwu Cannon, they were stunned for a while.
They had heard about the power of the first-grade Shenwu cannon, but when they actually saw the power of the Shenwu cannon, they were even more shocked.
I also understand how small I am.
For this viewing, Chuyuan Yipin also came in person.
After reading it, Chuyuan Yipin couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
In the end, the answer he gave was that the power of the Shenwu cannon was better than that of the first-class cannon in terms of range. In terms of power, it was a little less than the first-class cannon, but this difference did not matter.
Has little effect.
However, the flexibility is much lower, but it is a dead thing after all, so this is understandable.
All in all, it is suitable for war and is a well-deserved war weapon.
But compare with Tuxie Emperor’s cessation of war.
Emperor Chuyuan preferred the main battle.
Perhaps because of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, they understood better that the materials required to refine such a Shenwu Cannon were less than one cannon.
So Emperor Chu Yuan arranged two things.
First, the whole country will work together to refine more divine cannons.
The second is to deploy war, which is of course not a war in Central Continent, but an outward war to plunder the best spiritual gold.
Within two years, there will definitely be a war.
They want to gain the upper hand.
These are the respective thoughts of the two dynasties.
But for Da Wei.
After the transaction of the first-grade Shenwu cannon ended.
In less than three days, the matter of transporting gold stones spread all over the city.
It can be said that the whole country knows it, and coupled with the extensive reports in the Wei Dynasty newspapers, almost everyone in the Wei Dynasty knows about it.
Even newspapers and reports used the phrase that one-third of the world's gold was gathered in the Wei Dynasty.
From this, all the people knew one thing.
That means Da Wei has gained weight this time.
He is really fat.
There is too much gold.
In this way, ordinary people feel that this transaction is not so uncomfortable.
At least a large amount of gold was exchanged, which is of great benefit to the development of the country.
However, countless people are also curious. If the Wei Dynasty gets so much gold, will it be exempted from taxes? After all, before Xu Qingxiao was crowned king, the Wei Dynasty was exempted from food taxes for three years.
It is precisely because of the three years of exemption from grain tax that the people have enough food and clothing. Now as long as they work hard, they don't have to worry about food and drink.
And because of the Dragon Cauldron in Zhongzhou, the grain grown in the grain fields of the Wei Dynasty was different.
It attracted competition from all over the world, and the price was extremely high.
Not to mention that everyone in the Wei Dynasty is now rich, but at least they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they can see some meat every day.
Naturally, they hoped that the Wei trade of Shenwu cannons would bring some benefits to the people.
It's just another day.
When the topic reached a fever pitch, an imperial edict finally came from the Wei Palace.
The content is roughly that the Great Wei obtained a large amount of gold from the Shenwu Cannon transaction. The success of this transaction was inseparable from the help of the people of the Great Wei.
Therefore, I hereby take out half of the gold and give it to the hardworking people of Wei Dynasty.
However, due to verification problems, which was very labor-intensive, we changed to a new model, completely opening the Dawei Bank and storing all gold in the Dawei Bank.
As long as the common people of the Wei Dynasty deposit their silver coins in the Wei Dynasty Bank and exchange them for Wei Baobao, they will be paid an interest of 5% every year.
The Dawei Baobao can be exchanged for equivalent gold. From now on, the Dawei Baobao is a new type of currency and can be withdrawn or deposited.
The above is the general content of the imperial edict.
When the news came out, the people of Wei immediately became excited.
Nowadays, the people of the Wei Dynasty do have some money on hand. They use it to do business but are afraid of being cheated. They keep it for themselves. They also feel that they are sitting on nothing. After all, they also want to consider future generations.
When I was worrying about how money could be made into money, I didn't expect that the court would actually do something like this.
What is the concept of saving money and getting a return of 5% a year? If you put one hundred taels of silver in Dawei Bank, you will get an extra five taels of silver a year.
Five taels of silver is quite a lot for ordinary people.
Mainly for the next generation.
If it is for yourself, it is indeed not much, but if you save it for thirty to fifty years, how much money can the next generation get?
Therefore, when the news spread, the Dawei Bank in various prefectures was filled with people.
At the same time, the deed signed between the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty clearly required gold to be the settlement currency in Zhongzhou.
Now Xu Qingxiao's move is to turn the treasures of the Wei Dynasty into gold.
In other words, in Zhongzhou, as long as you hold the Wei treasure banknotes, you can exchange them for gold. This is what Xu Qingxiao wants.
And now it’s Central Continent, and the next step is the whole world.
If this plan succeeds, Wei will really become extremely rich.
However, the affairs of Dawei Bank have just been finalized.
soon.
Put down the chaos in the palace.
The Minister of Rites came in a hurry, he had something important to do.
"Your Majesty."
"Something bad is going on."
"Someone is doing something secretly."
"All forces in Dongzhou, Nanzhou, Beizhou, and Xizhou came to ask me, Wei Dynasty, for Shenwu cannons."
"And it's coming with force."
"Your Majesty means to join forces with the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty to suppress it."
"My lord, what do you think?"
Wang Xinzhi came. Just yesterday, a large number of letters were delivered. They were letters from various countries. All the major forces in the five continents asked the Wei Dynasty for divine cannons.
The scene they were most worried about and least expected to see happened.
However, just when Wang Xinzhi finished speaking.
In the palace.
Xu Qingxiao's voice couldn't help but sound.
"There is no need to negotiate with the two Koreas."
"Give it to whoever wants it."
Xu Qingxiao said calmly.
He has been waiting for all forces to ask for the Shenwu Cannon.
Now that the other party has delivered it to your door, what reason is there for not giving it to you?
There is one Shenwu Cannon for each force, which can completely balance the major forces.
At that time, no one would dare to attack anyone first, after all, they all have powerful cannons.
Shoot and die.
But who is the real overlord?
It must be Da Wei.
And if you want a divine cannon, you need to pay a huge price.
Gold, plus various precious materials, plus dozens of contracts signed.
Recognize the status of the Wei Dynasty and recognize the currency system of the Wei Dynasty.
The Wei Dynasty did not need to dominate the world.
But with the help of these things, we can control the economic lifeline of the world.
The purpose of fighting is also for profit.
They don't fight, they just get benefits directly, and they only need to take out something that can only be used for self-protection. What's the disadvantage of Wei?
This is Xu Qingxiao's overall plan.
With the help of Shenwu cannon, all crises can be resolved and economic control can be achieved indirectly.
but.
Xu Qingxiao also knew it.
Once it reaches this point, the other party is afraid that it will use its last resort.
