Handan city center. A high-class conference room in a five-story building. Handan is home to more than 60 percent of its wealth.

This was the first meeting between bankers in Handan. In the past, there was no such thing as a banker. This was the result of the establishment of a central bank by the Republican Army and the encouragement of the development of banks, which have developed from borrowing to partly investing. They specialize in businesses that can make a fortune.

For example, Hedong has recently developed Zhenjiezhou salt, and Jieyan salt. Hedong has abundant salt resources, which can not only meet the needs of a large number of people, but also Hedong has been established as a Hedong Prefecture. But the development of local resources is still done by their banks, for example, one of their most important resources is salt. The local salt resources have been expanded to a new way of development through some new technological methods. His production not only met most of the needs of the Republican Army, but could also be exported to the Central Plains. and other regions, for example, Luoyang, Chang'an, and the Xiongnu region in the north. However, the imperial court is salt and iron**. The Republican Army, on the other hand, will not interfere. It's all about business profits. This is determined by the market. As a result, a considerable part of the salt in Hedong was smuggled. This is also part of the fiscal revenue of Hedong Prefecture. After all, the price of salt there is relatively high. Since it's so high, why don't they go over there and make money.

In short, Salt Solution is a successful investment case set. The local people will not only develop salt for the use of the people, but also provide some industrial salt to the factory, as for what it can do, they themselves do not know, in short, this is a very profitable development of mineral resources. And behind these, these commercial banks provide a lot of financial support, without the support of these funds, they will not do such a thing at all, even if they can be launched, it will cost a lot of money.

A lot of people who are invested in commercial banks, they are sitting here excitedly. They were no longer businessmen doing business on money, they had a new name, bankers. They are very different from money dealers and ticketing operations. There are very few that can be called home in ancient times. And they can be bankers alone. This is for most businessmen. It's a whole new vocabulary. For example, those who open factories can be called entrepreneurs.

This equality is not just an elevation of their status, but the name is also a symbol of their status. You know, if the court seems to see them, they are still unpopular merchants, but here, they are bankers. This kind of elevation is very rare for bankers. Therefore, bankers are even more inseparable from their support.

"The theme of this meeting was to lend money to the imperial court. Do you think this is possible? A banker surnamed Wang said worriedly. He was the treasurer of Wang's Bank. He is still very familiar with the business of the bank. These businesses can bring him more profits. However, banks also have some other special attributes, such as risk, they have to avoid some risks, because only by avoiding so many risks, their situation can become much better, if they can't do this, the bank is easy to go bankrupt, or fall into financial difficulties.

It has to be said that the first bankers already had a great understanding of the relevant attributes of banks.

Based on this judgment, they felt some apprehension about the idea of the republican junta to lend money to His Majesty the Emperor, or to the imperial court.

"Who is the Emperor? It's just bandits, and there is no integrity at all. A banker next to him said. A large number of bankers were respected, their status rose a lot, and under such an influence, their favorability of the imperial court had fallen to a negative state. Most of them were dissatisfied with the imperial court.

"I heard that the whole of Luoyang, as well as more areas, is looting people's wealth and entering the emperor's inner treasury, such a method of looting, we lend money to each other, is it possible for him to pay it back? I think it's unlikely. The banker said.

Obviously, they all have this opinion, a person who takes away the people's property at will is equivalent to a bandit, and unceremoniously carrying out such an operation is simply robbery. But he is the emperor, is it just because he is the emperor and has a special status? Apparently this is something they are absolutely not allowed to do. If they do this, it is equivalent to them giving their hard-earned money to the emperor for nothing.

"Don't forget. We also have a mortgage, and if the emperor can mortgage the land, it will be a very advantageous thing for us. A young banker next to him said.

"Mortgage?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at the other party puzzled and asked.

"It's very simple, we are all in the banking business, if the other party has no mortgage, it is difficult for us to lend to the other party, and we also need to absorb deposits, once there is a bad debt, the opportunity has a great impact, but they can mortgage the land to us, and the key to whether we can recover it lies in our republican army, they have always been in a strong state, in order to ensure the safety of our funds, I think, we should let our army be stationed there, so that we can lend to him. If it is not returned, the Republican army will take the opportunity to occupy it, knowing that the creation of a state, and the development of it on a larger scale, will create an extremely favorable situation for us, and such a situation will be of great help to us. The young banker said. After everyone had listened. Nodding his head, it seemed to make sense. In this way, the risk is much reduced, and by developing the newly occupied areas, they can get more money and more development projects. Lost funds can be recovered relatively quickly. This is an extremely advantageous situation for them. Obviously, they agree with that.

"But will the Emperor agree like that?" A banker asked worriedly. He felt that for such an unreasonable request. The Emperor would not have agreed.

"Everyone has a time when they are short of money, and the emperor is also a human being. The son of bullshit, once he is short of money. He will also rob like bandits. Now, we can avoid some of the questions like this, why didn't he do it? The young banker said. How to do it depends on how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republican Army does it.

Hexi, on the position of the seventh company of the wild wolf regiment.

"Phew. Fuck. What happened to these Huns today? Such a fierce attack was launched. The sergeant carefully lowered his weapon, then took a water hyacinth and wet a blanket, and then carefully applied it to the weapon, and then emitted water vapor and a strong pungent smell.

The Huns attacked again, and they tried to find a breakthrough on the positions of the Seventh Company. They dispatched more than 5,000 men to attack, and the Huns swooped over like waves, slapping fiercely on their positions, and they rarely saw each other so desperate, and this way of fighting made them all feel incredible. Even, they feel that such an attack is a complete waste of their lives. But that's how the Huns attacked.

"I heard that they are not willing to accept our terms for peace talks. And then the attack began. Zhou Da said. He had seen a lot of the documents, so he knew some information, and the chief said the same.

"Hmm. Damn, we don't want to fight, they want to fight. Damn, if they dare to come, they will kill them directly. The sergeant scolded. Many soldiers carefully cleaned their weapons, and they had to get some of the debris out, otherwise it would be a big problem if they shot for a long time. Exploding will happen too. For example, the artillery on the high ground, they are very busy, and every time they finish shooting, although they are also tired, they will carefully clean the artillery. Infantry and artillery are the same.

"Everyone be careful, the Huns are digging trenches, they are approaching us little by little, they are all ready to **, as long as they get close, they will beat me hard. Come and replay. Come and replay. The platoon commander shouted loudly in the trench at this time.

"Sir, here." Comeback shouted loudly.

"Go forward, hit me, hit those who dare to take the lead." The platoon commander gave the order to. He nodded his head in agreement, then made some simple disguises, and carefully climbed out.

They can play a long distance, and they're all good. When you encounter such an opponent, you can only bless your head.

"Brothers, cheer up, as long as we hold our position, the Huns have nothing to do with us, and the war will end. Wait until the war is over. Hexi, there is our land. The platoon commander said.

"Sir, can you go back to Hedong, Hedong is my family." A private asked.

"There is not too much land in the east of the river, and there are many people there. For us, it's not much. But here, it's all pasture, and it is said that seven o'clock is more than 500 acres, if there is enough grassland. There will be thousands of acres. You graze cattle and sheep on it. You don't have to eat food every day. The platoon commander said.

"Sir, don't eat food. So what are you eating? Private asked, puzzled.

"Huh. You're stupid. Eat meat. Cattle and sheep are covered with meat. That's enough for you to eat. The veteran on the side said with a smile.

"Hahaha." The fighters laughed. When it comes to eating meat, they start to craving. They came here and ate meat. Although I am full of food, I am not addicted. They also want to eat meat.
