: Two thousand and eighty-eight winds across the corridor (8)

"Is the empire going to last forever? Of course it is impossible. History has proved that the larger the empire is, the faster it collapses. The first generation of the Falcon Empire emperor obviously did not expect the empire he forged to exist for a long time, and As the forge of the empire, the first generation of emperors knew that under the circumstances at that time, the expansion of the empire had reached its limit. There were many occupied areas within the empire that needed to be unified. Outside the empire, the enemy’s peeping and coveting never stopped. There are some things that the power of the sword can no longer cope with, so His Majesty the First Emperor thought of a wonderful way to replace the means of war with economic means, a unified economic system, and a unified currency circulation, will conquer all the regions of the empire more closely Integrating together, but also allowing the enemy of the empire to be burnt by economic pressure before the war, the Imperial Bank, which is hailed as the most powerful weapon of economic warfare in later generations, is in this context. In the imperial emperor’s plan, just in the cool breeze of June, an institution named Imperial Bank was quietly established. Except for a few people, almost no one knew of the existence of this institution, and no one believed it. The following hundreds of years Here, this behemoth made the empire break through the shackles of the land territory and truly become the master of the continent of Obaro. "From "The Rise of the Bank, Volume One, and the Wind Passing the Corridor"
　　
The Imperial Admiralty has been lit for ten days in a row and finally turned off today. The navy staff who have been busy for more than ten days have been ordered to rest today. The busy Admiralty building and empty corridors, except for the guard patrol boots The crisp sound of stepping on the floor, only to talk about a few offices with lights on, in the middle of the night, like a lighthouse that illuminates the sea
　　
　　 The fat man wore a navy officer's single coat. Standing in a room in the Admiralty building, the golden candlestick was full of wax tears, like a layer of snow covering it, and under the gaze, Lisbonto revived the bright Baili lights. Like the stars shining, illuminating most of the sky ahead, this empire was rejuvenated in the most prosperous city in the south, and it became more prosperous after the storm.
　　
　　 This is the first economic war that broke out in the history of the empire. The wind has passed without trace. This strangling battle between the north and the south of the economy, with the return of the signed stipulated text of the contract, can be regarded as dust. It has been more than half successful, and the next step is to launch the Imperial Bank! With a wine glass in his hand, the fat man exhaled deeply, and the idea of ​​establishing a bank was not in his mind.
　　
　　The economic lifeline of the empire cannot always be controlled by a business organization such as a business alliance, like this Lisbon escrow. Once the businessman loses his senses, the consequences are astonishing, even though he has put his eyes on Sokotus Delan in the top of the business alliance. But time and time again within the business alliance are showing that the business alliance is increasingly unwilling to be controlled by the empire,
　　
　　 The merchant class is originally a new class. With the expansion of the empire, it expanded rapidly. The nature of businessmen pursuing profits once mastered the economic lifeline of the empire. Who dares to say that there will be no possibility of wanton manipulation of profits, think about the beginning of the establishment of business alliances. There are no more than 3,000 or 4,000 registered merchants, and the business context is only south of Vickia. One sentence of his own is enough to make the business alliance bow down
　　
　　 But now, there are more than half a million merchants registered in the Business Alliance, and the business network is spread all over the continent of Obaro. After experiencing the storm this time, I am afraid that the expansion will be more violent. After several fluctuations, the empire had to use special means to calm down.
　　
"It is becoming more and more difficult to continue to take strong measures to control the business alliance. Unless you continue to clean the upper layers of the business alliance, one day, the business alliance will be out of the control of the empire, and then it will be a situation. It’s better to take advantage of the Empire’s control over the business alliance and to withdraw funds from it to establish a true Empire’s economic master,

　　
The bank’s preparatory work has been handed over to Sokotosdalen, and a sample of the imperial gold ticket that replaces the business alliance gold ticket is also under review. In this era, the issuance of paper money has not yet been made, and the business alliance gold ticket is already very epoch-making. The existence of, using the original business alliance gold ticket system to establish a new economic order that belongs to the imperial gold ticket system is the idea of ​​the fat man
　　
If it is under normal circumstances, it is not easy to replace the business alliance. The business alliance gold ticket has been issued tens of millions. In a large range of commercial trade, it is equal to the existence of currency in circulation. Everyone recognizes the business alliance gold ticket. Who knows What is Empire Bank? Once a replacement plan is proposed, the merchants will inevitably resist strongly, and the economy of the entire empire will only collapse
　　
This time, the gold ticket of the Business Alliance unexpectedly suffered huge fluctuations and the value plummeted. This is the perfect opportunity given by God. With the assistance of the nine major business groups in the south, the opportunity of this volatility return was used to launch the Imperial Banking System and succeed. The odds are very high. An empire can only truly establish its own economic lifeline in its own hands if it establishes its own financial system.
　　
　　 The sound of knocking at the door
　　
　　 "Come in" the fat man shouted
　　
Secretary of State Dustronk pushed in from the outside and looked respectfully at the back standing in front of the window. Ning Sheng reported, "Your Majesty, the orders of the naval fleets to cancel the locks have been issued! Except for the fifth and sixth points The fleet, the seventh squadron closest to Istanbul Kyoto, has arrived outside the Istan Empire Kyoto!"
　　
"How is the situation at Estan, and how did the new emperor react to our conditions?" The fat man turned back from the window and gestured to Dustrom Kebi to sit down, the mutation at Estan, It really made the empire unpredictable. Who would have thought that the missing prince of Istan, who had been found missing, would suddenly appear, and the sudden reversal of the six-nation coalition forces made the situation in Istan confusing. The army should not be dispatched, but the Navy The fleet can. The seventh squadron should be closest to Istanbul Kyoto. It has moved closer to Istanbul Kyoto yesterday. The other two Imperial Navy squadrons will turn to Istan after receiving the order today, with the power of three naval fleets. , At least to ensure that Istanbul Kyoto will not be broken from the sea,
　　
　　 "The other party accepted our conditions almost completely!"
　　
Dusterenkai looked slightly down and sat down on the sofa, condensed and said, "The other party promised to fully open the coastline, promised to use the internal tax as a mortgage to obtain imperial funding, and promised to sign documents. To cede the four northern provinces Give the empire and recognize the empire as its sovereign state! Now Istanbul Kyoto is in jeopardy, as long as it can get help, even if it is estimated that its kowtow is dry, it is a bit worried. The coalition of six countries exceeds 100,000, and our army is only three naval fleets. Unless the army can be dispatched, it is of little use, and according to the report of the Istanian side, the regional governor who is not in harmony with the central government of Istan. There have been four announced support for His Royal Highness, the southern coalition against Istanbul Kyoto Surrounding without attacking, it should be to use this momentum to entice the governors of other regions to express their views, which can be more powerful than direct attacks on Kyoto."
　　
"Using the Lisbon escrow to contain the empire’s attention. Then we suddenly launched the siege of Istanbul and Kyoto, and when we got out of the battered Lisbon escrow, the other party was already in the big picture and the six countries The puppet prince, who was supported, sent him to the position of the emperor of the Istan Empire!" The fat man frowned, stood up, looked at the city lights outside the window, his voice paused, and said, "Two birds with one stone. You can hit us hard, you can also Take the Istan Empire in one fell swoop and tell the truth. If this plan is not spoiled by us in the middle, there is a high probability of success. For the army, I have sent an order to Varisian to ask him to end Feishan’s affairs as soon as possible. The Ivan Istan Army can be put back. The original prince abandoned the army and fled, but these Istanians hated him. This time it was right to let him go back, although the prince occupied the orthodox status of the crown prince. But with the help of outsiders Robbing, it just doesn't make sense to put it there? The Islamist factions will inevitably split because of this
　　
　　 "How come or go. With this opportunity, we will bring these regional governors of the Istan Empire to the side of the empire, and we are truly out of anger." The fat man paused in a voice and grinned.
　　
"Your Majesty, is this to swallow the Istan Empire without blood?" Dusterenkai heard his eyes bright and his fingers clenched tightly. Everyone knew that since the death of Emperor Thoradin I of the Istan Empire, within the Istan Empire This is the situation in which the central and central compete against each other. If this time can really succeed, the empire can use funding to control the central and central Iraqi. At the same time, it also pulls the governors of the imperial empire one by one to the empire. This is not naked annexation!
　　
　　 "Isn't it a pleasure to get chestnuts in the fire?" "The fat man smiled and didn't deny "prepare, this time, I'm going to Istan!"
　　
　　 "What! Your Majesty went in person, I am afraid that something is wrong, no matter how, where is the battlefield of the two armies, please also ask your Majesty to commission a empire minister," Dusterenkai looked solemn. Frightened by the fat man’s decision, he stood up violently like a rabbit stepped on his tail, and said with condensed voice, "Istan is now in chaos, the regional forces are tumbling against each other, and there is a big expansion in the name of the so-called king. The ambition is really not where your majesty sets foot!"
　　
　　 "When did I become a person who could not step on the battlefield?" The fat man glared at him, and the emperor's body was suddenly released." The light of the candle was shaken by the wind
　　
"Don't dare, Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I just..." Dusterenkai was so scared that he knelt down on one knee, and he also felt that something was wrong with him. His Majesty was a warlord, and he used a small lord to lay down the current vastness. The territory, not the kind of flowers in the greenhouse, fought not knowing how many terrible wars, and the lives of people in their hands are only afraid of millions, but they are said to be unable to step on the battlefield.
　　
"Okay, I understand what you mean! But the two kings of the Istan Empire competed, and the regional control is equal to no. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will not be missed again. If you want those regional governors to believe in the empire, How can this emperor do not show up, at most, I promise you will not go to the battlefield, stay in the head office behind." The fat man raised his hand and let his navy minister get up
　　
Realizing that he could not shake the emperor’s decision, Dustrengkai could only give up persuasion. On the fourth day, the imperial naval warships returning from various places began to gather. In order to protect the emperor, 30 dragon-tooth battleships and 11 dragon-class main forces Powerful battleship leaves Lisbon
　　
The sound of water, the whole row of dense masts, the white sails reflected the glory of the sun, and emitted a dazzling white light. After a while, the white line of the imperial dragon class warship pushed forward, The sea breeze brought the huge falcon navy flag on the mast to hunt, "Wow" a huge wave rolled on the face, the dragon-class battleship's soaring bow with heavy domineering, fierce The ground split open the quiet seawater, and the white water waves rolled forward,
　　
　　 The broad side of the battleship was like a razor, and the ripples from the battleship crossed each other on the sea, and they broke or merged into a larger circle.
　　
The port was just opened, and the merchant fleets everywhere could not wait to leave the port. Watching this mighty imperial fleet advance, the merchants in the south turned pale, while the merchants in the Northern Business Union cheered. ~EbookFREE.me~ salute the powerful naval fleet of the empire on the deck. In the eyes of the northern merchants, these murderous imperial warships are their own patron saints. The huge volatility that occurred with the Lisbon trusteeship also spread throughout Obaro. At that time, most people knew that the collision between the business alliance and the top ten business groups in the south, the two north and south economic groups, turned out to be It’s so terrible that it’s not even a tsunami landslide, and this volatility ended in the victory of the Northern Business Alliance. As for the imperial navy’s shelling of the port, compared with the collision of the largest economies since North and South, Already irrelevant,
　　
　　 "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's rest inside" Falcon Empire Navy Secretary Dustronk came up from behind the deck and said respectfully
　　
　　"How far is it from the Eastern Province?" asked the fat man without returning.
　　
　　 "From the chart, the current position is already in the area of ​​the Fraser Sea," Dustrenko replied. "It should arrive in the Eastern Province within two days."
　　
　　 "Oh, so fast! No," the fat man turned around in amazement, saying, "It's not that it takes ten days as expected"
　　
"Ten to fifteen days refer to the absence of chart guidance," Dusterenka said, bowing his head. "But now, we not only have chart guidance, but also flow from north to south! So the speed of the fleet, It is also much faster than normal" (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @沃林主主] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
