As a traveler in the 21st century, Chen knows how important financial hegemony is to a colonial empire!

However, to establish financial hegemony, it is not as easy as opening a big bank.

First of all, you have to have hegemony, and then you have to have financial hegemony! This condition has been initially met by Beiming. Although Beiming is currently only one of the four powerhouses on the East Asian continent, it is a leading power in the seas of East Asia and Southeast Asia!

Those dozens of gunboats alone were enough to defeat the navies of all countries in the world except Beiming.

Second, there must be an open international environment...... If all countries close their doors to Beiming's bank, there will be no financial hegemony. This point, after the dialectic of Putuo Mountain, can be regarded as basically resolved.

Although the envoys, baguettes, and arms dealers sent to various countries have not yet sent back the news, the results are certainly optimistic. The H medicine weapon will definitely be able to help Beiming open the gates of various countries, and then the Heavenly Daoist Sect's divine stick can enter. With a bomb in one hand and a scripture in the other, he began to spread the truth of the Heavenly Dao! The king who believes can buy a bomb, and the one who doesn't believe is waiting to be killed by someone else's bomb!

Third, of course, there is a huge market demand - the need for capital! This is also the storage zài, and it can also create zào.

On the one hand, the maritime trade in East Asia was very prosperous during this era. The annual import and export scale of the Great Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly huge, and merchants from all over the world gathered in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou. The large amount of import and export trade will naturally give rise to the demand for funds. Loans related to maritime trade were very common on the southeast coast of the Great Song Dynasty.

And those now rich and oily kings of Nanfan will soon have to borrow money all over the world, because it is very expensive to fight a war with expensive H medicine weapons!

Fourth, of course, there must be a financial center city! The Mingdu Mansion in Liaodong is certainly not a suitable financial center. It's too remote. There are too few merchants coming and going, and it is far away from the economic center of Jiangnan.

The financial center was located on the site of the Great Song Dynasty. It doesn't seem like much insurance. Therefore, Chen Dexing has never wanted to get involved in the financial industry. Until he grabbed the Zhoushan Islands!

"Zhoushan is close to the south of the Yangtze River. It is the hub of Song-Ri and Song-Gao trade, and it is not far from Quanzhou and the Yangtze River estuary. There are many merchants coming and going, which is really the most ideal place to develop the money industry. ”

Chen Dexing's fingers seemed to unconsciously knock on the table, and said to his father: "The child is preparing to get involved in the money industry and open a big money bank, called Tiandao Village!" ”

"Tiandaozhuang? How do you have a name with the Heavenly Dao Sect? ”

Chen Dexing said: "Because the capital has to be taught by heaven!" The Heavenly Taoist Sect will soon have a lot of sesame oil money, and it will not be used to buy land, so it will be used to open a money bank...... In the future, wherever there is a Heavenly Daoist Dojo, a Heavenly Dao Village will be opened on the side. ”

"Oh. I see. Chen Huaiqing did not find it strange, because many temples and Taoist temples at this time were usury, and they also accepted deposits, but they did not do foreign exchange and did not issue bills—the level of abbots and bankers was limited.

"The operation of the Heavenly Dao Village is in charge of the Taoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect?" Chen Huaiqing asked again.

"I will specially ask the shopkeeper to run it," Chen Dexing said, "I will go back and discuss it with the people of the Huang family and the Shen family, they are more familiar with this matter." My assumption is that the trading to be done in Tiandaozhuang is to fly money (referring to foreign exchange), save money, borrow, exchange huàn, mint money, ......"

"No paper money?"

"No ...... for the time being"

Chen Dexing thought for a while, and then nodded affirmatively. Said: "The brand of the banknote has made Huizi bad, and before the reputation of Tiandaozhuang is established, don't use this brain."

In addition, Tiandaozhuang mainly does business with large households. Including the maritime merchants and merchants of the southeast and various countries, the kings and magnates of various countries. Accept their deposits, send money, and lend them money. ”

"The king and the powerful also want to borrow money?"

"Of course. They'll all be in debt soon! Chen Dexing smiled proudly, "I lent them money to buy heavenly thunder and weapons to fight." It is also possible to send officers to teach them to fight...... As long as they are willing to believe in the establishment of Tiandao Sect as the state religion! ”

"The state religion? Really useful? Chen Huaiqing was skeptical. Chinese do not believe in religion, even if Chen Dexing pretends to be a god successfully. A Confucian scholar like Chen Huaiqing, who has received a traditional education, still does not believe that a Ming king came into the world.

Therefore, most Chinese also take it for granted that religion is an inconsequential thing, and the establishment of a state religion makes them a little disgusted - this religion seems to be free as well.

It's just that the Chinese let other people's religions be free on their own territory, but others don't let your Confucian and Mencian ways be free on other people's territory!

"It works! It's so useful! ”

Chen Dexing raised his eyes to look at Chen Huaiqing and said with a smile: "My lord, except for Annan, there are no Confucianists in the southern countries. They are all monks as teachers! The monks are equivalent to Confucianism, and their kings and magnates demand to learn from Buddhist monks or Brahmin monks from Tianzhu! If they make Tiandao the state religion, then they will have to learn whatever I ask them to learn! ”

"What do you want them to learn?"

"Of course, learn Chinese, use Chinese surnames, give Chinese names, wear Hanfu, learn the three-character classic, the hundred family names, the thousand-character text, the prodigy poems, and then some Analects or something......"

After all, Tiandao is a newly opened religion, and it does not have so many things of its own, and it is normal to introduce Confucian teaching materials - otherwise what is taught in Chinese classes?

"They're willing too?" Chen Huaiqing shook his head again and again, "Even the Khitan, Jurchen, and Party items have to stand on their own, how can such a barbaric Yi be willing to obey the king?" ”

"The state religion!" Chen Dexingha smiled, "They don't have as many eyes as they have, they are more realistic." The state religion is to be believed in by everyone, and whoever does not believe will be killed! ”

Kill? Chen Huaiqing looked at a certain cult leader, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

Seeing his father's eyes, Chen Dexing smacked his lips, "...... Nanfan, Japan, and other territories that we can take control of, Tiandaoism will become the state religion! Only in this way can I drive out the sect that is not conducive to me, beat the disobedient to death, and educate the more obedient, and then Xia Jun Yimin! ”

Chen Dexing didn't know how the Zhou people dealt with the traditional religion and culture in the land of Yimin during the Western Zhou Dynasty? It is unlikely that there will be freedom! Most of it is also what Chen Dexing is doing now......

"Don't talk about this...... Chen Dexing is not interested in talking to his father more, anyway, he is not optimistic about the results of the profound Chinese culture and Buddhism, Brahmanism, Green Religion, and Christianity in areas outside Han China.

Chen Dexing said: "Don't ask about the affairs of the Heavenly Taoism, you just need to take care of the affairs of the Taiwan Mansion and the Qianzhuang Street of Shenjiamen." ”

"Qianzhuang Street?"

"That's right! Go to Shenjiamen Port to find a piece of land near Shenjiamen Port and build a more spacious street. The Tiandao branch of the Taiwan government and the main village of Tiandaozhuang are built there, and the rest of the land will be given to other money villages, and in the future, the whole street will be money villages! ”

Chen Dexing actually didn't know how to build a financial center, but he only knew that the financial centers of later generations were all financial institutions. Therefore, I will draw a scoop according to the gourd, and also build a street of money houses where money banks are piled up.

"In addition, the Taiwan government will do its best to organize parliamentary elections."

Chen Dexing continued: "Wait until the 3,000 lords of the Nanyang Fleet are transferred, and they will be elected...... It is necessary to elect the Taiwan Provincial Council, the Penghu County Council, the Changguo County Council, the Shenjiamen City Council, and the Tamsui City Council. The county of Changguo and the city of Shenjiamen were both appointed by me, and the council was passed. The matter of building Qianzhuang Street, but you can discuss it with the Shenjiamen Zhishi City. ”

"City" is the latest administrative district name to appear in Beiming, in fact, it is to separate the large commercial port from the county and establish a separate "city". It is not the same concept as the city that governs Luogan County in later generations.

And the elections of Taiwan's government, county, and city councils are, of course, also under the control of Chen Dexing. Because not everyone has the right to vote, only the naturalized Taiwanese gentry and gentry can vote or run.

Moreover, Chen Dexing also controls the only political party in this era - the Fuxing Society! Naturally, they will also participate in the election. If nothing else, the revival society firmly controls Taiwan's government, county, and city councils.

At the end of the conversation, Chen Dexing said again: "In addition, find a piece of land in Zhoushan to build a Zhuangzi, and I will come this winter...... This year, next year, and possibly the following winter, I will come to Zhoushan. Changguo is the winter capital of my Northern Ming Dynasty! ”

Chen Huaiqing sat in the chair, his body did not move, but his palm subconsciously held the jade pendant. He knew what Chen Dexing meant when he said that he would come to Zhoushan next year and the year after...... That means that the fastest year after tomorrow, the latest year after tomorrow, Jiangnan is the world of the Chen family!

Before that, Chen Dexing had to completely defeat the four Mongolian hosts who controlled Liaozhong, Liaoxi, and Liaobei.

"It will take two more years to defeat the four kings of the host?" Chen Huaiqing seemed to be a little anxious.

"Two years isn't necessarily enough." "The Mongols are nomadic in their habits, and their country is mobile. If the shape is unfavorable, the four Ulus will go west. After two years of repeated battles, if they can't be completely defeated, they should be able to drive them farther away, and tens of thousands of more Eight Banner soldiers will be formed. In this way, the security of Liaodong will be guaranteed, and I will be able to concentrate my efforts on Jiangnan. ”

Chen Huaiqing said: "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

Chen Dexing said with a smile: "When Wen Tianxiang and the others are gone, I will leave for Liaodong...... This fall, I will send troops to Liaoxi and Liaozhong! ”

Chen Huaiqing stared at Chen Dexing for a long time, and then said, "Father really wants to go with you." will ride 100,000 horses, criss-cross the outside, and smash the Yellow Dragon, but Wu Mugong's last wish. This is worthy of life! ”

Chen Dexing smiled: "There are many opportunities for adults to go to Saiwai, the Great Mongolia is so big, and the Mongolians can run, so it is not so easy to destroy...... When the Central Plains are recovered, the children will go with the adults to sweep the Mongolian headquarters! (To be continued......)
