At this point, the big worlds controlled by Ye Ming include the fifteen under the Martial God Temple, the Tianyuan Continent, the Tianfu Continent and the Gods and Demons Continent controlled by the Haotian Sect, the Three Emperors Great World and the sixteen big worlds controlled by them, in total. Thirty-five large worlds, with a population of more than 100 trillion.
In Ye Ming's view, no matter how precious resources are, they are not as valuable as people. People are creative, can create higher value, and can continue to reproduce. In particular, the thirty-five major worlds include nine civilizations. Even if the level of these civilizations is not high, they can still inspire him.
The Immortal Tree takes root in every big world and connects the thirty-five big worlds, making communication more convenient. People in each big world can travel to the remaining thirty-four big worlds through the teleportation array of the Immortal Tree for free. The prosperity brought about by this kind of exchange is unimaginable.
Soon after, with Tiandao Sect's credit as the bank's support, the negotiations for the one hundred big worlds in which it was located finally ended, and the banks in each big world were opened. Once the bank is operational, Ye Ming will have a lot of cash flow in his hands.
You know, the interest rates offered by banks are very high. The interest rate for fixed deposits is as high as 15% for one year, 20% for two years, and 25% for three years. Some small forces, aristocratic families, sects, etc. who guarded the city immediately discovered that saving money was really profitable. If you save all your family money in a bank, the interest earned every year will be far higher than your current income.
For example, a sect has a family fortune of 100 million eternal coins. This hundred million eternal coins were accumulated over tens of thousands of years. In fact, his annual income is only a few thousand eternal coins. However, if this money is deposited in the bank for one year, the income will be 15 million eternal coins, which is far more than the current income level.
After the bank opened, surprisingly many people saved money, and most of them saved money for three years. The main reason why this phenomenon occurs is that people believe in the credibility of Tiandao Sect. After all, it is a super powerful force that controls more than thirty major worlds, and is almost not under the Nebula Sect back then. In such a big world, how could it be possible to break one's trust
As a result, in less than a month, the amount of money deposited exceeded 100 billion eternal coins, and it is still growing.
On the other hand, a lot of crops have been collected in the first settlement, and longevity rice has been harvested ten times, but they have all been used as seeds. At least in the first few months, the food in the first settlement cannot be sold. Because he would develop more settlements and plant larger areas, and that would require more seeds.
The Great World Ring in Ye Ming's hand was cleaned up by him, and he sent Tiangong puppets to build a large number of granaries. Each of those grains can store hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain, and countless of them are built densely.
On the contrary, those mineral deposits have been mined, and the output is not low. Many precious mineral deposits are continuously transported out and sold to a hundred big worlds. This alone can bring hundreds of billions of eternal coins to Ye Ming every month. But this money alone is not enough for his expenses.
The first settlement, Nalan Yingning has adapted to the environment here. When Ye Ming saw her, he found that the woman was radiant, as if she had been reborn.
"Ye Ming, thank you very much. I like this job very much." She smiled. Ye Ming could tell that she was telling the truth.
"As long as you like it." Then he asked, "In terms of grain, is the output normal?"
Nalan Yingning nodded: "In the past four months, the total output of longevity rice has reached 400 billion jins; the total output of crystal sweet potatoes has been 30 million jins; and the permanent vegetables have been 240 billion jins. The rest Zhenyuan Valley and Dragon Blood Rice have few seeds, so all the harvests are used as seeds.”
Ye Ming nodded: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."
Nalan Yingning asked: "Why don't you sell it? Do you want to keep it forever?"
Ye Ming: "We will open more settlements in the future, and of course we must save more seeds. Furthermore, first-class crops cannot be sold directly, and they will have to be processed over time, but the factory has not been built yet."
"But the shelf life of immortal vegetables is only half a year. If we don't take action, the vegetables will be spoiled." Nalan Yingning said.
Ye Ming: "Is there a shelf life?" He was a little surprised.
Nalan Yingning: "Of course there is a shelf life. No matter how high-end the old dishes are, they are still vegetables. I think it's better to sell them."
Ye Ming: "By the way, how to save vegetables?"
Nalan Yingning: "It's very simple. If you leave the vegetables in the ground without picking them, they will soon grow flower stems, then bloom and bear seeds. However, it takes a long time to form seeds. After picking, you have to wait about a month." "
Ye Ming: "Then don't pick it, keep all the seeds. As for what has been picked, some will be eaten by the disciples of Tiandao Sect, and some will be sold to the thirty-five big worlds we control."
Nalan Yingning was stunned: "For Tiandao Brother's disciples to eat? Do you know how expensive it is?"
Ye Ming looked at her: "Of course I know, but no matter how expensive the food is, it is not as precious as people. And there are not many disciples in the sect, so they can't eat much."
Nalan Yingning had no choice but to say: "Okay. It's just that the longevity rice and crystal sweet potatoes have been stored, leaving us unable to get out. The investment in these four months has reached 960 trillion eternal coins. If this continues , this year’s investment will exceed three trillion eternal coins.”
Ye Ming was shocked. Thirty million years a year, how about that? He thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, just hold on for another month. I will build a processing plant as soon as possible. By then, I will store some of the longevity rice and crystal sweet potatoes, and process some of them. Not to mention how much money I will make, at least I can't throw them in like this anymore. Money.”
Nalan Yingning said: "It's better to do this. Half of it is sold and the other half is stored. Haven't we built many medicine refining sites? Just refine the longevity rice into longevity pills."
Ye Ming nodded. In terms of alchemy, the level of medical civilization is still very high. And based on his understanding, about one hundred kilograms of longevity rice can be used to refine an longevity pill. He estimated that the wholesale price of an immortality pill would be around 2.5 million at least. Excluding the investment of the pharmaceutical refinery, the processed value of each kilogram of longevity rice is as high as about 20,000 eternal coins.
He told Nalan Yingning his estimate, and the latter smiled and said: "That's great! The annual output of longevity rice is 120 billion catties, with a cost of 24 trillion eternal coins. It stores 60 billion catties. , the remaining 600 billion kilograms of processed elixirs are worth 120 trillion eternal coins. After deducting the cost of 240 trillion, we can still make a net profit of 960 trillion eternal coins every year."
Ye Ming nodded: "As for crystal sweet potatoes, they can be used to refine sacred crystal elixirs, minus the cost of refining medicine and planting costs. After conversion, each kilogram of crystal sweet potatoes is worth about 6,000 eternal coins. Half of it is stored and half is worked, so the annual net profit About 1,350 trillion."
Nalan Yingning smiled and said: "These two types of crops alone can increase the income of 230 billion eternal coins every year."
Ye Ming is finally satisfied now. With this money, he should not be nervous anymore.
Ye Ming was very experienced in building the alchemy field. He completed it in half a month and immediately started refining immortality pills and sacred crystal pills in batches. The effect of taking these two elixirs is twice as good as simply taking longevity rice and crystal sweet potatoes, so they are very popular among people.
But it is said that in the world of Three Emperors, Shang Long was regent on behalf of Ye Ming. Ye Ming is implementing the things he explained before he left. The first item is to transport low-priced grains in large quantities to the Three Emperors World to suppress local grain prices. At the same time, many third-class crops were shipped, causing people who had eaten third-class crops to treat locally produced food as livestock feed.
The eight major families in the Three Emperors World had already lost three trillion of their labor force, and many places had no human race. Now with the influx of cheaper food, this kind of land immediately becomes unprofitable. During the handover period, Ye Ming's bank sent a large number of people. In just half a month, the business of the eight major families' banks was completely squeezed out of the market, and they were completely unable to survive.
At this moment, Shang Long was meeting with several important figures from the Three Emperors in the study. They were representatives of the eight great families, and they came to make peace with the Human Emperor. One of them was none other than Ji Sheng. At this time, Ji Sheng was no longer as aggressive as before, but was filled with fear.
"Your Majesty, the eight aristocratic families know that they have committed an unforgivable crime, but please forgive them for the sake of the ancestors of the eight aristocratic families. Stop recruiting miners at high prices. If this continues, the eight aristocratic families will The mines will be closed down." Ji Sheng almost cried, because his Ji family was one of the eight aristocratic families.
Shang Long looked calm and said: "The recruitment of miners is not my intention, so I can't help you."
Ji Sheng trembled and said, "Can we stop the royal family from doing business at a loss? If this continues, the shops of the eight major families will have to close down. What's more, the royal family now imposes heavy taxes on shops and real estate. Really? This is unbearable, Your Majesty!"
Shang Long snorted coldly: "Why, do the eight aristocratic families still want to rebel? How can the dynasty operate without paying taxes? As for the royal business, the royal family naturally decides whether to make a profit or loss. Who are the eight aristocratic families to interfere?"
Ji Sheng was left speechless, and then he was kicked out of the imperial study room. Not long after, he was dismissed by the Emperor and became a commoner.
Under Ye Ming's wanton suppression, the eight aristocratic families who dared to embarrass the Emperor from the beginning suffered heavy losses. The land was deserted, the mines were stopped, the shops were closed, the banks went out of business, and they had to pay extremely high taxes. With no choice, the eight aristocratic families chose to give in and compromise. They began to sell land, shops, real estate, and mines.
In just a few months, the eight great families have gone from being extremely wealthy to being powerful with no land, no property, and just some money. And the irony is that these eight aristocratic families actually deposited all the money they got from selling their properties into Ye Ming's bank. They really have no other way to make money, so they can only deposit it into a bank and earn interest.
Faced with the suppression of the Human Emperor, the Earth Emperor did not care, and the Emperor ignored them, the Eight Great Families could only knock out their teeth and swallow them, and reluctantly withdrew from the historical stage of the Three Emperors World. In fact, almost all the minerals and fields sold by the eight major families were purchased by Ye Ming with money from the bank, making them the property of the Human Emperor!
