Lingxiao City, go to the study!
"So fast? Impossible!" Zhang Ru exclaimed with eyes wide open.
In the upper study room, a group of important officials from Eastern Qin were looking at the intelligence from the frontline battlefields. This intelligence was not only from the mighty army of Eastern Qin, but also from Dahuang and Shengdan Alliance.
"Two months? Shang Hen, destroyed the Shengdan Alliance? Singing all the way, beacon smoke was everywhere, devastating all the alliance armies, and the longer army went straight into the major cities in the Shengdan Holy Land. The beacon fire has burned to the Shengdan Holy Mountain. This , It's only been two months? The Shengdan Alliance has collapsed thousands of miles away?" Another veteran exclaimed.
"This is the fact. The mighty army of the Eastern Qin has not yet completely conquered the sixteen major forces. The army of the Great Wilderness has already made great progress and defeated all its opponents. It will not be long before they can reach the Holy Mountain of Shengdan!" Wang Zhongquan! He smiled bitterly.
"Two months? All the armies of the same level defeated each other? Show me!" Lu Yang couldn't sit still anymore.
Nangong Lang handed all the information in his hand to Lu Yang.
Wang Xiong was sitting behind his desk, also digesting the sudden news.
Two months? Ordinary people can't leave the territory of the Shengdan Alliance for two months, let alone fight
This Shang Hen is really capable of things that others cannot.
"Business war? Fighting the army with businessmen, Shang Hen, what a good method! Turns out Shang Hen had already planned it!" Nangong Lang sighed.
"Business war?" Everyone looked at Nangong Lang.
"Looking at the intelligence, have you noticed that Shang Hen made the people of the Shengdan Alliance rebel?" Nangong Lang said with narrowed eyes.
"It all started with a financial product!" Lu Yang squinted at the information.
"Yes, Chamber of Commerce. Every major city has shops stationed by major chambers of commerce from all over the world. Just like Danxian City, there is also my Chamber of Commerce store, and the Shengdan Alliance also has countless shops that merchants hate. These shops are nothing at all. Ordinary shops , can't make waves at all, so even hostile forces have their own private merchants doing business in each other's countries. And Shang Hen's "Qian Zong Pavilion" is spread across the major cities of the Shengdan Alliance, and every Qian Zong Pavilion, It’s nothing. After all, there are no masters in charge, and the local government can easily wipe it out, but who would have thought that this Qianzong Pavilion has done such a huge thing!" Nangong Lang said in shock.
"Qianzong Pavilion, Shang Hen's industry, we know that he released a financial product, what does it mean?" Zhang Ru asked curiously.
"This financial product, called 'Lingshibao', is just a bill. As long as you buy the Lingshibao within a specified time, you will get interest, and it is a high interest rate, with a monthly interest rate of 5% and an annual interest rate of 80%. . In other words, if you deposit one million spirit stones into Qianzong Pavilion, one year later, with the receipt, you can withdraw 1.8 million spirit stones! In two years, you can withdraw 3.24 million spirit stones. !" Nangong Lang explained.
"So many in one year? Isn't this usury? Is it just that the common people have become moneylenders, lending money to merchants?" Zhang Ru asked in surprise.
"It's almost the same, but Shang hates calling it a 'financial management product'!" Nangong Lang explained.
"This, a financial product? You spent a lot of money and only bought a piece of paper? What if you can't cash it out after a year?" Zhang Ru frowned.
"Qian Zong Pavilion is Shang Hen's property. Shang Hen is the God of Wealth. He can turn stone into gold. How could he not be able to cash it in? Qian Zong Pavilion has its own investment and can even show some properties to big customers. Who doesn't believe it? What's more, This has been going on for a few years, you know? In the past few years, all the early people have received excess returns, who doesn’t believe it?" Nangong Lang explained.
"But...! This shouldn't be a big scale, right?"
"Not big, hahaha, you underestimated the 'Lingshi Bao', do you know? At least one-tenth of the people in the Shengdan Alliance have bought it. Many people have tasted the sweetness, and even lost all their money, and even bought it from other places. Buying this financial product with a loan shark, a piece of paper seems to have magic power, and it has swept the entire Shengdan Alliance!" Nangong Lang sighed.
"So much? Does Shang Hen have that much money to pay interest? That's 60% a year!" Zhang Ru said in surprise.
"If my guess is correct, Shang Hen didn't spend a penny at all, didn't invest anything, and didn't turn any stone into gold, but he made a lot of money through the spirit stone treasure!" Nangong Lang explained.
"How do you say that? No, you mean, use the principal to pay the interest? But it's gone in two years. Besides, when you pay, even the principal will be returned!"
"The spiritual stones paid to the early customers who bought the 'Lingshi Bao' are the principal of the later customers who bought the 'Lingshi Bao'. As long as the number of people who continue to buy the 'Lingshi Bao' increases, the money will continue to flow. Moreover, those who have tasted the benefits will , where will the principal be taken out? If the principal and interest are left together in Qianzong Pavilion, and the interest is compounded, wouldn't it be possible to earn more?" Nangong Lang explained.
"This is just a scam, no one can see it?" Zhang Ru's pupils shrank.
This move is not too complicated. Someone should have seen it. For example, Nangong Lang analyzed it through intelligence.
"I can see it, but so what? Maybe many people understand that sooner or later the game will fail, but so what? It's like passing flowers on a drum. No one believes that he is the unlucky one, so he keeps passing it on secretly. Make money!" Nangong Lang explained.
"Shang Hen used the 'Lingshi Bao' to kidnap all his customers?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"The emperor is right, Lingshibao has kidnapped all the customers. In this way, when the customers reach a certain level, problems will arise!" Nangong Lang said with a bitter smile.
"The leaders of the major forces in the Shengdan Alliance are extremely angry with the Shanghen army. During this period, Qianzong Pavilion in various places is uneasy?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, the people in charge of Qianzong Pavilion promoted the great famine in a high-profile manner, which instantly angered the city lords everywhere. Then, the people in charge of Qianzong Pavilion were arrested by the city lords!" Nangong Lang explained.
"The people in charge of Qianzong Pavilion were arrested, and Qian Zong Pavilion closed down. At the same time, countless people bought financial products and couldn't pay them back? Everyone's money was gone?" Lu Yang's eyes widened. squint.
"The money is gone, but the people still don't rebel? The moment Qianzongge's financial products could not be cashed out, countless people rushed to the government, holding up signs, asking the city lords everywhere to release the person in charge of Qianzongge! The whole city mutinied, The tide of common people is not something that the guards can resist, not to mention that there are many soldiers in the guards who have bought financial products!" Nangong Lang explained.
"Release people? Governments in various places are forced by the people to release people who are hated by merchants? Then the people in charge of the places where merchants hate them, don't they have the common people as amulets?" Zhang Ru said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, the cities everywhere are going crazy. One-tenth of the people, how many people should there be? And their families, the number will only be more, and the cities everywhere are in chaos. Some city lords are resisting the pressure. , refused to let go, the people in the city continued to attack, the soldiers mutinied, the city collapsed instantly, and some city lords could not withstand the pressure and released the person in charge of Qian Zong Pavilion, but the evil one was, the person in charge of Qian Zong Pavilion Disappeared? Gone? Among the crowd, I don’t know who fanned the flames. I guess it was Shang Hen who deliberately sent people to fan the flames, saying that the city lord refused to let people go and deceived the people! It is conceivable that the city collapsed faster! In just one Yue, the entire Shengdan Alliance city has collapsed!" Nangong Lang said with a bitter smile.
"What a trick to kill with a borrowed knife, Shang Hen, did he do it on purpose? To arouse public anger and instigate conflict between the officials and the people of the Shengdan Alliance? This is more than just chaos. I guess the leaders of the major forces in the Shengdan Alliance must be dumbfounded at this moment!" Lu Yang exclaimed.
"More than dumbfounded, the money is gone? Many people have lost their money, how can the people not be angry? There are immortals among the people, there are masters among the people, and there are also those in the military who buy financial products. In a short period of time, not to mention the rivers of blood. , at least, all cities in various places were paralyzed, no one was spared, all were paralyzed! The people could not find their own money, the people in charge of Qianzong Pavilion in various places were gone, and the government did not have so much money to fill the holes. At this time, Shang Hen came with his army !" Nangong Lang said with a bitter smile.
"The cities everywhere are paralyzed, the army is paralyzed, and the merchants hate the army. It should be destroyed and destroyed, so it is easy to collect it!" Zhang Ru frowned.
"Shang Hen only said one sentence, 'When the city is captured, all operations of Qianzong Pavilion will be restored and all officials, soldiers, and people everywhere will remain unchanged!'" Nangong Lang sighed.
"When the city is captured, all operations of Qianzong Pavilion will be restored and all officials, troops, and people in various places will remain unchanged?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"With these words, the people, officers, and officers from all over the city opened their city gates one after another to 'welcome' the Great Wilderness Army. As for the opponents in the city, they had already been killed by this group of bankrupt people, officers, and officers with envy. Of course, There must be Shang Hen secretly adding fuel to the flames, I don’t know. Anyway, Shang Hen almost broke the Shengdan Alliance without spending a single soldier, singing all the way to the Holy Mountain of Shengdan!" Nangong Lang said with a bitter smile. .
"Business war? What a business-based war! This Shang Hen's ability to lead troops is really superb! I am not as good as him!" Lu Yang exclaimed.
Lu Yang was the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was best at formation and construction, and his ability in leading troops was also good. However, compared with Shang Hen's army, even Lu Yang was ashamed.
This is not a war, this is a harvest! Economic war! More terrifying than a bloody battle. Because it fundamentally corrodes everything on the other side, including the military.
"In just two months, the Shengdan Alliance will be destroyed. Shang Hen's battle will surely make the world famous!" Wang Xiong took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, he is famous all over the world, and Bai Kuangzhou is going crazy for him!" Nangong Lang sighed.
"It's just that if he goes to the Holy Mountain of Pills like this, I'm afraid...!" Zhang Ru said worriedly.
"Report!" A guard broke into the upper study from outside.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at the guard.
Unless it is a major military matter, the guards would not dare to break into the study at will.
"Your Majesty, from the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, Shang Hen, the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, has sent an invitation letter, inviting the heroes of the world to go to the Holy Mountain of Shengdan to observe the ceremony and slaughter the clan!" The guard handed over the invitation letter.
"Invite the emperor to the Shengdan Holy Mountain? To watch the ceremony? To watch Shang Hen lead his troops to massacre the Shengdan Holy Land?" Zhang Ru's pupils shrank and he said in surprise.
"No, he is a hero of the world. I'm afraid, in addition to the emperor who received the invitation, many leaders of forces in the world will also receive it! Shang Hen? What a big spirit!" Lu Yang said in shock.
Wang Xiong took the letter.
------
In order to avenge the country, Dahuang fights against the Shengdan Alliance. The army is about to attack the Shengdan Holy Mountain. On the fourth day of April, Shengdan will be defeated. Heroes from all over the world are invited to come and witness!
Today, we specially invite the Emperor of the Eastern Qin Dynasty to come and watch the ceremony!
Business hate please!
-------
"The fourth day of April?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"Did Shang Hen invite the emperor to show off?" Zhang Ru said with a serious look on his face.
After all, if the Great Wilderness can even pacify the Holy Mountain of Shengdan, then it will be bordering the Imperial Court of the Eastern Qin Dynasty. If we make friends from far away and attack close by, there will inevitably be disputes in the future!
"No, this invitation letter from Shang Hen is a big gift for me!" Wang Xiong showed a slight smile.
