Chapter 1717 Nine Thunder Pillars and Ancient Corpse
The headquarters of Zongheng Commercial Bank is located in the capital of Donglai.
Today's Dongnae Kingdom is very different from the past. It is not dominated by the Dongnae royal family, but is co-governed by the Zongheng Trading Company.
Of course, this co-governance is not the interference of the vertical and horizontal commercial banks in the Dongnai royal family's governance of the country, but the separate and rule of politics and business.
The Dongnae royal family was in charge of government, while the Zongheng Trading Company was in charge of commerce.
Now, the finances of Donglai Country are basically in the hands of Zongheng Commercial Bank. In other words, if Donglai Country wants to use money, it must consult with Zongheng Commercial Bank.
Zongheng Commercial Bank only cares about money, and never participates in the government affairs of Donglai State. This is the current situation of Donglai State's "co-governance".
When the founder of Zongheng Commercial Bank proposed this concept, the Donglai royal family did not care. In their view, the military power and political power were in their hands, and the natural country was completely in their hands.
Only as time went by and Donglai Kingdom's finances were completely controlled by Zongheng Trading Company, did the Donglai royal family realize that they were really being controlled in every way.
Now, no matter what you do, you need money, such as allocating funds to build cities, preparing food for the army, paying for royal personnel, etc. There is no need for money in any aspect! In the past, the royal family controlled the finances, so allocating funds was light.
It's easy, but now the financial aspect is completely controlled by Zongheng Commercial Bank. As long as money is needed, the king must go to the commercial bank to discuss with the president.
This made the Donglai royal family feel inferior in front of Zongheng Trading Company.
Fortunately, Zongheng Trading Company is only interested in money and not at all in government affairs, so the Donglai royal family has been able to get along with Zongheng Trading Company for so many years.
Moreover, with the help of commercial banks to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, Donglai Kingdom is indeed growing continuously, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, with ample food and clothing.
This is also the reason why Commander Qian was so polite before knowing Yuan Youyuan's identity.
Because Zongheng Trading Company is the master behind this island and is the well-deserved uncrowned king.
The capital of Dongnai is located in the center of the island. Its area occupies one-ninth of the entire island. It is a veritable giant city, even larger than the capital city of the Holy Dynasty.
Similar to the capital of the Holy Dynasty, the capital of Dongnae was also divided into an outer city and an inner city, especially the inner city, which was divided into two areas, namely the imperial city and the commercial city.
The imperial city is naturally where the Donglai royal family gathers, and the mall is where the headquarters of Zongheng Commercial Bank is located.
The Donglai Kingdom is also very interesting. Women are respected. Since ancient times, women have been brave and good at fighting outside, while men have taken care of their husbands and children at home.
The same is true for the Dongnae royal family. The head of Dongnae Kingdom has always been a woman and is honored as the empress.
The current head of the Donglai Kingdom is the Empress of Donghuang. She is the most outstanding generation among the previous heads of the Donglai Kingdom. It is said that she is only over forty years old and her cultivation level has already reached the seventh level of the Martial Emperor.
Empress Donghuang is the most promising to be promoted to the eighth-level Martial Emperor or even the ninth-level Martial Emperor, thus ranking among the most powerful people in the mainland.
Empress Palace.
The Empress of Donghuang, Yao Jin, studied ink with her bare hands, gently raised her pen, and quietly wrote line by line on the desk.
Although Yao Jin is over forty years old, her skin is firm, fair and beautiful, especially her waist as slender as a willow, delicate thin lips, small nose and thin eyebrows, which make her full of beauty.
She was dressed in a smart outfit, and her long hair was tied back into a long ponytail, which added to her heroic appearance.
After Yao Jin wrote the last word, she let out a breath, gently placed the brush on the brush mountain, and raised her eyes to look at the rich, rosy-faced middle-aged man sitting at the bottom.
"President Yuan, I've kept you waiting for a long time!"
Yao Jin put away the rice paper and threw it to the maid next to her to put it away. Then she walked down and sat opposite the middle-aged man.
This wealthy middle-aged man is none other than Yuan Yangwei, the president of a wide-ranging trading firm.
"Haha! Wait a minute. The tea on your desk has not cooled yet. How can it be considered a long wait? But Her Majesty, you are really leisurely and elegant, and you are able to calm down and practice calligraphy every day!"
Yuan Yangwei smiled casually, his voice gentle and elegant.
Yao Jin smiled slightly and said: "I was forced to do this by my father when I was a child. Later, the more I practiced calligraphy, the more I found it had great benefits. When I concentrated on practicing calligraphy, I could calm down quickly, and even
If you have some enlightenment from time to time, you can even enter a state of enlightenment!"
Yuan Yangwei nodded and said: "That's true. Calligraphy practice is like cultivation, it requires a step-by-step approach. It's just about cultivating one's nature and strengthening one's body. Although the two are different, they reach the same goal through different paths!"
The corner of Yao Jin's mouth curled up slightly, and she immediately looked Yuan Yangwei up and down, and asked: "President Yuan, you came to see me suddenly this time, but have you already investigated the origin of the natural danger of Nine Thunder Treasure Island?"
Yuan Yangwei's eyes were solemn, he shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say if the investigation is clear, but I already have some clues! Yuan spent a lot of puppets and finally penetrated deep into the black clouds and recorded a scene."
"What picture?"
Yao Jin looked solemn and asked quickly.
Yuan Yangwei thought for a while, then waved his sleeves, took out a jade slip, and flicked it with his fingers.
The jade slip was ejected and suspended in mid-air, and its surface emitted a brilliance like ripples of water, forming a scene in mid-air.
In the picture, there are patches of deep black clouds, with countless thunders flashing all around, densely packed, scattered in every corner of the black clouds like the veins of the human body.
And in the deepest part of the black cloud, where the thunder originated, there was an ancient corpse floating quietly.
Judging from the appearance, this ancient corpse is that of an adult male, but its size is much larger than that of ordinary people. It is more than two meters tall and is wearing ancient bronze armor.
Moreover, the bronze armor covering the ancient corpse was stained with rust, and its surface was even stained with scattered blood stains.
There are very obvious thunder lines between the eyebrows of this ancient corpse, and those countless thunders are released from the thunder lines between the eyebrows.
Crack! Suddenly, a bolt of thunder, as fast as lightning, hit the screen as fast as possible, and then the screen turned completely black.
"Is this...the body of a strong human being?"
Yao Jin's beautiful eyes were solemn, she couldn't help but look at Yuan Yangwei, and asked in a questioning tone.
Yuan Yangwei nodded and said: "It should be, have you seen the thunder pattern between his eyebrows?
That is the aura of law, this corpse should have been a Holy Lord-level powerhouse during his lifetime!"
Yao Jin's beautiful eyes were full of shock, and she murmured: "I really didn't expect that the nine thunder pillars of the Nine Thunder Treasure Island actually originated from the corpse of this powerful man! He is indeed the Holy Lord, just the remains of the corpse
It’s incredible that the power of law can have such power!”
Yuan Yangwei nodded and said: "The Holy Lord is a powerful person throughout the world. Even in ancient times and ancient times, he was a god-like existence. Even if this powerful person is a corpse, it is extremely normal for him to have such power!"
