(Sorry, I always updated one chapter around 11:30 in the past. I have been really tired these past few days. I broke out a while ago, my arms are still sore, and I feel dizzy. I try to maintain two larger chapters these days. But the time cannot be determined.

.Please excuse me.)

Dugu Junjie and the battleship Zhiyuan retreated immediately after the battle, which was very cool. The defenders of the Langya Kingdom in Qianlong Port were unable to pursue them at all. They were busy retreating to resist the army of the Canglan Kingdom.

But Dugu Junjie had no idea how much impact this bombardment of Qianlong Port would have on the military development of the fertile continent of the West, especially the coastal countries.

This shelling opened a new era.

This is different from the last shelling of Surabaya Port. That time, Surabaya Port had no defenses and no war preparations. But this time it was Qianlong Port, the Kingdom of Langya and the Kingdom of Canglan, with a total of more than 600,000 legions on both sides fighting.

But when everyone was evenly matched, and even the Canglan Kingdom was at a slight disadvantage, the Qixia Kingdom suddenly came out. The amount of losses caused by more than an hour of shelling to the Langya Kingdom was unknown for the time being, but the Langya Kingdom was under this bombardment.

, completely defeated.

Previously, the armies of the two countries faced off for a night, with more than 20,000 casualties on both sides; the country of Canglan also suffered almost tens of thousands of casualties. However, after the attack by the Zhiyuan battleship, the country of Canglan quickly won the victory. In the subsequent war, until

At the end of the victory, the death toll was less than 3,000!

If in the past war, the two sides fought with 600,000 legions, it would be trivial for both sides to lose 30,000 to 50,000 troops in one battle. Maybe more than half of them would be consumed in one battle.

Moreover, it is normal for such a siege battle to last three to five months.

But now, since the bombardment, it only took less than half a day for the Canglan Kingdom to resolve the war; the Langya Kingdom was defeated so quickly that it did not even have time to arrange defensive formations, trap formations, etc., so that the war

After the defeat, they retreated again and again, eventually turning into a major retreat or even a rout.

Of the 300,000 elites of the Langya Kingdom who occupied Qianlong Port, less than 100,000 escaped. Tens of thousands died in battle and hundreds of thousands were captured.

The country of Canglan lost less than 3,000 people; after that, it was a three-day chase! The materials seized were piled up like mountains, which just supplemented the construction cost of Qianlong Port.

A few days later, when Huang Shaoxian inspected the prisoners, he couldn't help but sigh: The attack from the steel battleships from the sea is really no small matter! But... is the impact too great?!

Even Huang Shaoxian felt it was incredible! The giant ships and cannons from the sea bombarded him, and the Langya Kingdom's 300,000 troops dropped 200,000, and the rest fled in confusion. If Huang Shaoxian, or Canglan

The Kingdom of Langya was able to deploy in the east in advance, and it is impossible to say that all the legions of the Langya Kingdom were retained this time.

Cui Yan, the general of Zhennan, looked at the huge craters and was speechless. The craters made by the 300mm artillery were several meters deep and more than ten meters wide. There was a mess within dozens of meters around, and broken corpses could be seen everywhere.

.

This is not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre!

"We must also study the 300mm artillery as soon as possible!" Huang Shaoxian came to Cui Yan's side and said with some shock.

Cui Yan nodded slightly, but then shook his head: "We still need to study steel battleships at sea. Even if we cannot reach the technology of Qixia Kingdom, we still need to have battleships made of black iron.

Don’t we already have the technology to mass-produce black iron now, and haven’t we also visited the shipbuilding technology of Qixia Country?”

Huang Shaoxian nodded slowly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. The mass production technology of Xuantie was in the Huang family!

Huang Feihu, the gatekeeper at Tianmen Gate, brought Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan (now renamed Yan Dexian and Hong Xuefeng) to the Huang family, and they cooperated to open the Xuantie Smelting Factory, imitating the production model of Dayang Group.

Recently, Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang visited the Zhang family's shipbuilding base and roughly understood the construction methods of steel battleships; and Wang Ruiyang bought out the steam turbines that Dayang Group will sell in the next year. Obviously, Wang Ruiyang is very smart.

This leaves yourself with opportunities for development.

At that time, Wang Ruiyang said that with the development of the Qixia Kingdom, his Lingwei Trading Company was facing a crisis; but Wang Ruiyang was indeed a profiteer, and he immediately targeted new markets.

At this time, Huang Shaoxian thought about it, but he had to contact Wang Ruiyang and purchase the steam turbine from Wang Ruiyang. The shipbuilding seemed not to be a big problem, but for the power system, he probably still had to purchase equipment from Dayang Group.

In fact, Huang Shaoxian had been unknowingly affected by the cannons of the giant ship and there was nothing he could do about it. The influence and power were really too great. Thinking about that steely body is exciting!

In fact, it's not just Huang Shaoxian. The country of Langya has also begun to pay attention to giant ships and cannons. They suffered two defeats, both from attacks at sea. You need to remember longer!

Although the Langya Kingdom has not watched the situation in the Zhang family shipyard, as a traditional maritime power, the Langya Kingdom has strong shipbuilding technology. They are confident that they can find out the steel giants on their own and cannot even connect the barbaric Qixia Kingdom.

What our country can do, we cannot do.

Moreover, based on the appearance of the Zhiyuan battleship, the royal craftsmen of Langya Kingdom actually figured out a structure that roughly used steel beams for the interior and steel plates for the exterior, smashed together with huge nails!

It was just that I didn’t know that Xuantie could build ships before. Now that I know it, of course I have to try to explore it. As for Qixia Kingdom’s artillery, Langya Kingdom has also obtained a few of them, and it doesn’t seem to be difficult!

So a brand new arms race has quietly begun.

…………

At this time, Dugu Junjie did not know the impact he had left. He had already led the battleship back to the port. The sailors excitedly moved the elixirs ashore. At this time, Dayang Group also formally appointed Bai Yutang, the general manager in charge of everything.

This time, Bai Yutang was also responsible for the division of elixirs and so on.

Bai Yutang was originally the leader of the Jiuyang Sect, and his abilities are worthy of recognition. But now that the remnants of the Jiuyang Sect have re-developed in the Kingdom of Jinyang, Bai Yutang has no selfish motives anymore. Now the people he led who followed him have completely

Joined the Dayang Group. It is very appropriate for Bai Yutang to be in charge of the Dayang Group.

After Bai Yutang distributed some of the elixirs as dividends, most of the remaining ones were sold again. And the price was still half the transaction price. This price was already very low.

In fact, the most common Pei Yuan Pill in the East costs a spiritual stone, which is more expensive than the one sold in Qixia Country. The ordinary Pei Yuan Pill in Qixia Kingdom only costs 0.9 spirit stones.

The Oasis Port that had just been renamed was filled with crowds for a while, and ordinary people came to rush to buy it. Maybe there was no chance, but the child was still there; if it could be cultivated with elixirs now, it would not be said that it would become a golden elixir stage Nascent Soul in the future, as long as

Being able to reach the foundation-building stage is enough to become a master and escape the fate of common people.

Three to five yuan, a dozen or so spiritual stones, ordinary people can still afford it!

The sales of Dayang Group are also very interesting. Under Zhang Hao's guidance, this distribution and sales order was implemented: Dayang Group, the people of Ninghe County, domestic commercial banks, and finally foreign ones.

Of course, Dayang Group will leave a basic figure for foreign commercial banks, and will not let everyone make an empty trip, at least it means it. But in a short period of time, these pills will mainly fill the domestic market.

As for ordinary people in the country reselling elixirs, Zhang Hao doesn't care at all. Anyway, elixirs are sold at affordable prices at home and abroad. People who like to spend a little money can just do it.

As long as it can capture people's hearts, that's enough. If Dayang Group wants to develop and the Zhang family wants to grow, what they need most now is people's hearts.

Only after he has gained popular support will Zhang Hao start trying to establish schools and so on.

If you start a school before there is no popular support, who knows who the talents you will train will be! Only after you have a relatively solid popular support, will Zhang Hao start to open a school, and then monopolize education to model the future.

The biggest monopoly is never capital or technology, but talent! And talent comes from education!

Why can aristocratic families last so long? Because they have talents and control talents in politics, military, business and other aspects, so they have enjoyed the glory of aristocratic families for thousands of years.

But this has just begun and it will take some time; Zhang Hao is currently busy with banking matters.

Zhang Hao did not ask for other people's opinions on the construction of Green Boat Bank, nor did he discuss it at the Dayang Group's board of directors or shareholders' meeting.

Although Zhang Hao purchased the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau through Dayang Group, Zhang Hao operates almost completely independently when it comes to banking matters.

Of course, Green Boat Bank belongs to one of the Dayang Group, and the division of interest shares, etc., is entirely based on the division of shares of the Dayang Group.

The shareholders also believe in Zhang Hao. By letting Zhang Hao do whatever he wants, so far, Zhang Hao has managed to liberate Dayang Group and build steel battleships, which is great. It sounds good to do something about another bank.

When Dugu Junjie led the battleship Zhiyuan to go to sea for the third time, the 'Green Boat Bank' was officially established. Its headquarters was located in the Zhang family fiefdom, right here in Changshan Town to be precise; and the first branch was established in Ningxia

He County County City.

The first action of Luzhou Bank is to issue banknotes. At the same time, Dayang Group also issued an internal announcement that the group will start to trial banknotes in the future, and will complete the replacement of banknotes around the end of the year.

At the same time, banks began to absorb funds and offered an annual interest rate of 0.5%. In addition, banks also began to issue loans. Compared with past banks, Luzhou Bank's loans have an annual interest rate of 5%.

The news spread and caused a huge response. The spirit stone currency system has long penetrated the entire spiritual world. In the past, some people may have wanted to change this system, but they all failed.

The spiritual stone currency system is, to put it bluntly, the 'energy currency system'. The spiritual stone itself has application value, not just a representative object. Therefore, the spiritual stone has universal value no matter where it is, no matter where it is, in the whole world.

In the world of "Elephant", spiritual stones are the universal currency. Later, there will be elixirs, black iron and other assistance.

The general person in charge of Green Boat Bank is currently directly in charge of Zhang Hao. There are many deputy general managers, including Bai Ye, Mei Qianyun, Mu Mingchen, Zheng Changqiu, etc.

In the future, Zhang Hao will gradually let go and hand over the bank to capable people. At that time, several people will compete for the position of general manager, while the remaining people will continue to be deputy general managers.

…………

The matter of Green Boat Bank has been brewing for several days, and finally it is time for another dividend distribution within Dayang Group.

But this time the dividend is different. All those who come to share the dividend have two choices: spiritual stones or banknotes. The two are of equal value.

The difference is that the spiritual stones are packed into boxes, which are very bulky. And the banknotes only come in a small pile of black iron cards.

Zhang Hao did not come forward, but gave everyone a morning to discuss, and the dividends would not start until the afternoon.

So several young men within Dayang Group got together and started discussing. These young men are all incompetent. After wars and country changes, those who can sit here have some skills. And the eldest brother among many young men is undoubtedly Zhou Jue.

.

Zhou Jue, Zheng Shaojie, Mu Pengcheng and others gathered together to discuss this brand new banknote. Compared to Zheng Changfeng, Mu Mingchen and other elders, Zhou Jue and others were much more active.

More than a dozen people gathered together, looking at a set of banknotes in front of them, and they were noisy and noisy.

These banknotes are very beautifully made. The cards have been carefully blued, and the surface is also machine-engraved with exquisite, complex, hair-thin patterns. The patterns are different for different denominations. Finally, there is a soft layer on the edge of the banknotes.

of sawtooth.

After arguing for a while, someone asked Zhou Jue: "Brother Zhou, you and Zhang Hao have the best relationship here. Do you have any secrets about these banknotes?"

"There is no secret!" Zhou Jue picked up a banknote, flicked it and said: "The reason why banknotes are issued is to make business more flexible. For example, the current Zhiyuan battleship, converted into ordinary spiritual stones, costs tens of thousands of tons in one transaction

, the boat simply can’t fit it.

In comparison, banknotes are much simpler. The reason why banknotes are designed like this is so that they cannot be copied and have sufficient value.

As you can see, there are six denominations of banknotes.

The smallest one is 1 yuan. It is made of 80% pure black iron, 5 cm wide, 8 cm long and 2 mm thick. There is a thin line made of Hunyuan fine gold in it. This line of Hunyuan fine gold can

Used to form the infinite array of all things.
