Establish a mercenary union branch and a Tianyuan Base Bank branch in Hangzhou, set up a communication base station, and join the information network set up in Jinling City. It must be said that Zhu Tian's proposal was something Yu Qian couldn't refuse.
Although there may be risks involved, it is also difficult for him to ignore.
Although New Daming promised not to march towards Hangzhou, Zhu Tian did use his actions to prove his credibility and New Daming's non-aggression. But having said that, facing a powerful neighbor, anyone would instinctively
feeling anxious.
If these agreements are reached, the influence of the New Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly expand to Hangzhou. If this expansion of influence is to pave the way for invasion and subversion of the latter, then it is undoubtedly terrible, but if it is just to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, then it
It is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.
"Your proposal is very tempting, but it is also very disturbing." Yu Qian sighed and said calmly.
"Based on the conditions of the wasteland, how many people can Jinling City and Jia City accommodate?" Zhu Tian asked abruptly.
Yu Qian was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Probably, it can hold several million."
"So do your armed forces pose a threat to us?" Zhu Tian said with a smile.
A wry smile appeared on Yu Qian's face.
Their people have seen the "financial resources" of the new Ming Dynasty. Although the overwhelming rockets have no technical content, they are obviously not capable of achieving it with their productivity level.
"Then what are you still afraid of?" Zhu Tian laughed.
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then understood what Zhu Tian meant, and a smile of understanding and helplessness appeared on his face.
The entire Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces cannot gather a million people, and there is no competition for living space between the two sides. In other words, just developing the ruins of Jinling City is enough for the people of the New Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of this combat effectiveness, their
There is no threat to the New Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to invade at all.
From the day when credit points are popularized, the survivor forces in the entire Suhang Province will become vassals of the New Ming Dynasty!
"It's a ridiculous reality that we can survive because we look harmless." Yu Qian said helplessly and stood up: "I will convey your proposal to the Business Federation. Of course, I
It is estimated that it will not be difficult to pass the proposal.”
"Then I wish us happy cooperation." Zhu Tian also stood up, smiled and extended his right hand.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Yu Qian held Zhu Tian's hand and nodded.
...
"How many days has it been?" Standing on the roof of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce Building, Chen Guangkai, wearing a suit, looked wordlessly in the direction of Jinling City.
"Six days." The guard standing beside him said respectfully.
Has it been six days?
The morning light dyed the mist with a light golden shimmer. Even standing in Sioux City, more than ten kilometers away, one could smell the fragrance called order and freedom. It was sunny there, and there had been no smoke for six days.
rising.
After a long while, Chen Guangkai slowly spoke.
"How long has that man been gone?"
The man he was talking about was naturally Lin Hai.
The man who calls himself the apostle of the supreme civilization.
The guard hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone, "About two months."
Hearing this, Chen Guangkai nodded and said slowly.
"Then he probably won't come."
According to the agreement, if he does not come after two months, it means that the agreement is over.
“Not even God can stop their rise
Are you up?" Looking in the direction of the Ming Dynasty survivor base, Chen Guangkai frowned slightly.
Not long ago, news came from the Crimson Chamber of Commerce's branch in Hangzhou that the merchants' federation had reached an agreement with the New Ming Dynasty to launch comprehensive cooperation in banks, merchants' guilds, and mercenary unions. Although the soldiers of the New Ming Dynasty did not enter the
After taking a step into Hangzhou, the New Ming Dynasty has already exported its influence to its interior.
The foundation of a businessman is money. What else can control a businessman better than controlling money?
Chen Guangkai lowered his head slightly.
He now needs to seriously consider the future of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
…
At this moment, there is a prosperous scene in Tianyuan Base.
The energy crystal content analyzers that were once ubiquitous on street corners have quietly disappeared, replaced by banknote transactions or payment transfers through personal terminals.
In addition to official acquisitions, Tianyuan Base Bank also injected a sufficient amount of currency into the market through lending, and at the same time, Congress signed a credit point settlement tax reduction bill to promote "credit points" for trade.
At the beginning, people were still skeptical about this currency, but as time went by, the exchange ratio of credit points and energy crystals gradually appreciated. From the initial 1:2 to the current 1:4. If it were not for the New Daming
The issuance of currency was strictly limited, and people wanted to throw all the energy crystals in their hands that were gradually depreciating on the bank counter.
It is precisely because the New Ming Dynasty limited the issuance of credit points that the purchasing power of credit points has become so strong. The never-ending printing of money will only turn the banknotes into a pile of waste paper. Currently on the black market, energy crystals and
The exchange ratio of credit points has even climbed to 1:6.
On the other hand, the establishment of the merchants' guild provided merchants with demand and security information in Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces and even further afield, and at the same time provided orders from outside Jinling City for the factories in the Tianyuan base.
The establishment of a branch of the mercenary union in Hangzhou has also given hunters who have lost the "hunting ground" of Jinling City a new outlet. They can change jobs into mercenaries or caravan guards and go to Hangzhou to open up new trade routes.
At this moment, Zhu Tian was walking on the street in the inner circle, accompanied by Chu Zhaonan and a group of new Ming soldiers, inspecting this ever-changing street.
"Currently, the number of alien nests that have been wiped out has reached 14, accounting for 90% of the entire Western City cleanup work. The remaining 21 alien nests have a high risk factor, and there is currently no mercenary organization to take over the task alone."
"Then leave it to the soldiers of the New Ming Dynasty." Zhu Tian said casually while looking at the bustling street with interest.
"On the other hand, the owners of the large mines in Sioux City expressed dissatisfaction with us because the large-scale depreciation of energy crystals caused his assets to shrink by four times in an instant."
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows.
"Then what do they mean?"
"They want to buy credits from us at a price of 1:2." Chu Zhaonan teased.
"Reject him and let him negotiate with the factory at Tianyuan Base." Zhu Tian curled his lips disdainfully and said impatiently.
Now the only ones who need energy crystals are the factories in Tianyuan Base. Although in principle banks also provide factories with credit points to purchase energy crystals, Tianyuan Base officials still encourage them to purchase energy crystals from private hands. And the fact is that
Exactly, credits can purchase more energy crystals from private hands.
"They said they could not accept the exchange price of 1:6. Their envoy should be losing his temper with Zhao Tianqiang and the others in the parliament right now. Do you want to see them?"
"No, our people will start a military exercise in the no-man's land between Jinling City and Su City in two days. Fireball-1 will participate in the performance. Give them a ticket for a special seat." Zhu Tian said casually.
Chu Zhaonan smiled knowingly and replied respectfully.
"As commanded."
I believe that after witnessing that extravagant fireworks, all those who are lucky will re-evaluate their own strength.
The street is filled with the tempting aroma of food. The entire snack street is full of various shops. Even though these are just food shops, the most profitable place in the entire inner circle besides the casino is probably here. In addition to ordinary restaurants,
Zhu Tian also saw a ramen restaurant run by a service robot and a barbecue restaurant run by a foreign-looking boss. The food supply in the New Daming Dynasty gradually increased, and the food for the people in Tianyuan Base became increasingly abundant.
This scene would never have been seen a year ago.
Pre-war crops cultivated without soil, and non-mutated livestock cultivated by cloning technology. Originally, even noble businessmen could not eat these luxuries a few times a year. However, now, even ordinary people in Tianyuan Base, as long as they work hard,
You can also have the opportunity to occasionally enter the inner circle and enjoy the luxury.
At the end of the street, there is also a street full of lights and entertainment.
Just looking at the ambiguous signboard and the warm-toned neon lights, I knew that this was obviously not a serious place.
Within the Tianyuan base, brothels and casinos are places that can be operated legally. Even one of the ten members of the Tianyuan base operates the largest "entertainment venue" in the inner circle under Zhu Tian's instruction. After all, those living here
Most of the survivors are desperadoes who lick blood with their swords. For those people, only these exciting things can give them a "feeling of being alive."
Of course, forced trade is prohibited. Tianyuan Base does not prohibit slave trade, but no slaves are allowed to enter the scope of Tianyuan Base, and slave trade is neither taxed nor included in the protection scope of the military police.
In other words, anyone who steps into Tianyuan Base is considered a free person by default, and their personal freedom is protected by the constitution established by the parliament.
"Want to go in and take a look? I will keep the secret for you." Chu Zhaonan smiled teasingly, touched his nose and looked at Zhu Tian.
"Let's forget it." Looking at the girl who was ogling him, Zhu Tian looked away subtly.
The family is almost out of food, not to mention that he really has no interest in these vulgarities.
The team skipped this red light street and ended today's trip early. Next, Zhu Tian will go to the Tianyuan Base Parliament Building to check the work of the parliament this quarter and report on the recruitment and military action plans for the next quarter.
Finally, Zhu Tian will also meet with eight invited local businessmen to discuss matters related to cooperation.
After turning a corner, Zhu Tian's attention was attracted by the roadblocks on the main road. Several construction vehicles were seen driving over the flat cement road, using sharp tools like pile drivers to leave evenly spaced holes on the road.
The construction workers at the back surrounded the holes and stuffed cylindrical black tubes inside.
"What is that?" Zhu Tian pointed to the blocked highway,
"They are laying a geomagnetic track, which was built with money from a businessman from Hangzhou. In exchange, we provide them with a two-year maglev car franchise and a four-year tax-free car sales policy." Chu Zhaonan explained with a smile:
"When the magnetic track is laid, maglev vehicles will be able to pass on this road."
The magnetic tracks buried under the highway have very low resistance to explosions and nuclear explosions, so they were basically degaussed or partially degaussed by bombings during the war. Now Tianyuan Base has returned to stability, the economy has grown rapidly, and per capita income has steadily increased.
, the bright-minded businessman naturally paid attention to this aspect.
Maglev car?
It finally feels like the future.
Looking at the construction vehicle that was advancing gradually, a smile appeared on Zhu Tian's face.
