The best weapon that can defeat feudalism is capitalism.

Wang Lanling has learned a lot from history, and he also knows very well that in the era of peace, it is unrealistic to want to promote the socialist spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work.

At a time when most people took the existence of the emperor for granted, the best poison to corrupt feudalism was sugar-coated capitalism.

Now is not a time of peace, Wang Lanling's opponent is still the feudal empire led by the Jiang family, so he can only do his best to resist the counterattack of the times.

There is no basic market and market, and drugs such as tobacco and alcohol cannot make much money.

The most profitable are not only the casinos and the tobacco and alcohol industry, but also the cultural and arms business.

In order to increase the competitiveness and attractiveness of Paradise Island, Wang Lanling arranged the secondary training of those spies sent by the empire to Giant Whale Island.

Gramophone, camera, movie!

The technology of phonographs and cameras is not difficult, but the difficulty is to train so many technicians with this technology.

After these two technologies mature, it will not be difficult to make a movie.

The development of technology needs money, and Wang Lanling's finances also need financial support.

The Dragon Ball class came to the conference room in Lanling County again, and saw Wang Lanling again.

"County Magistrate Wang, this time I came to deliver money, I don't know if you welcome it."

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "Of course this is welcome, the Dahe Chamber of Commerce is our good friend, whether it is tourism, temporary residence, or business, we are welcome." ”

The Dragon Ball class breathed a sigh of relief, the actual controller of the Great River Chamber of Commerce was still Dragon Ball Mingyue.

Although Dragon Ball Moonlight is a woman, she has a legal title and nobility.

And the two women beside Wang Lanling are both her daughters.

This relationship alone makes the rest of the people dare not think otherwise.

This era is the era of a few people after all, and it has not been many years since the previous era, and the businessmen who have been suppressed by the government for many years at least know that they are afraid in their hearts.

However, now, after twenty or thirty years and the development of merchants is better, some people will think more, and maybe there will be merchants who want to be emperors.

The Dragon Ball class breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Lanling was willing to accept their money.

This kind of thing is normal, most of the time, businessmen are not worried about giving money to some powerful people, but worrying that they can't send money, and no one wants to be their backer.

"This time, our Dahe Chamber of Commerce wants to save money in Lanling County, do you think ......" The Dragon Ball class said cautiously and cautiously: "How about a million?" ”

Wang Lanling smiled and said: "No matter how much is welcome, if you can use gold and silver as the settlement, it will be better, and you also welcome the way of grain settlement." ”

The Dragon Ball class said with a smile: "Of course, there is no shortage of gold and silver, the imperial court has used gold and silver to offset military expenses in the past two years, and there is a lot more gold and silver on the market." ”

Wang Lanling knew about this, although he was also worried about the impact of the indiscriminate issuance of currency on the empire, but his stock was not much, and more often than not, he quickly exchanged the empire's currency for industrial raw materials.

There is no problem now, as for the future, it depends on who influences whom.

At present, Lanling County is not suitable for establishing a new monetary system alone, not because it can't, but it can't directly break away from the original old system.

Wang Lanling recognized the currency of the empire, but gradually issued his own currency.

The real banknote technology is too difficult, Wang Lanling has no understanding of this, and in the case of gramophones, modern banknote technology has not yet been studied.

Things have to go step by step, at least until the internal stability is complete, and it is not suitable to completely separate from the Empire.

There is no fear of too much gold and silver, both of which are important industrial raw materials, and they are also convenient to store.

Wang Lanling said casually: "I think of the time a few years ago, and the current money has depreciated a lot compared with the previous money. ”

The Dragon Ball class quickly said: "That's outside, the money here in Lanling County is still money, there is no demotion, and you can buy a lot of things for one dollar!" ”

Wang Lanling smiled, not so happy.

"The bank on my side has been operating for a year, and it is very stable in all aspects, and some people have saved interest for half a year and a year, and they can also take it out with principal and interest."

"As for the internal affairs, I hope to continue so peacefully."

"As for external deposits, many people in Shazhou, Muzhou, Yunzhou, Haizhou, and Shanzhou have more or less saved a lot of money, no matter who it is, I don't ask, and I won't tell outsiders about it, you can rest assured."

In the matter of deposit on Paradise Island, Wang Lanling advocates safety and safety first.

The Dragon Ball class nodded and said, "Yes, I have also heard about this Heavenly Bank, and many people say that it is a good place, but it costs a little more." ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "Paradise Island's firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are not expensive, if you want to live a good life, two yuan a month is enough for one person to eat, but if you want to go to casinos and tobacco, alcohol and entertainment venues, it is like in Longzhou Tongzhou, no amount of money is enough to lose." ”

The Dragon Ball class felt that this was indeed the truth, and also said: "I heard that there is a treasure box called Gramophone on the island, as long as you inject internal force and unique exercises, you can seal the surrounding sounds into it, this treasure can be sold?" ”

Wang Lanling said: "This can't be sold for the time being, because the internal force can't be stored for a long time, and if it is used too much, it will become ordinary scrap iron, even if it is not used, the internal force in it cannot resist the corrosion of time." ”

The Empire's electricity has been put aside, and although there are many power generation facilities in Heishui County and Lanling County, people have forgotten about this matter along with the abandonment of these power generation equipment.

At present, the main power generation is thermal power generation, and Wang Lanling does not have so many idlers available.

Most of the idle laborers were assigned to build roads and houses, and then there were farms and pastures and various factories, and urban construction and merchants also had things to do.

In this stage of national development, Wang Lanling naturally does not need to spend money to organize manpower generation.

Without the right guidance, the empire's science and technology have naturally gone crooked under the traditional atmosphere and thinking.

The feudal system itself was a serious obstacle to the development of production technology.

Wang Lanling changed the topic, "Although it is still summer, there should not be a few days of hot weather, and it will be harvest time later, and it will be a matter of preparing for winter later." ”

"At the moment, there is no action on the Yanshan County side, it seems that there will be no war this year, and I don't know when the empire will come over again."

The Dragon Ball class said cautiously: "County Magistrate Wang, are you looking forward to this kind of thing?" ”

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "If you don't fight, there will be no longer-term peace, and it is much better to fight when everyone is willing to fight now, than when everyone is used to peace and is unwilling to fight in a few years." ”
