"Sir, you can't have traveled all the way here to scare me with this news, right?" Zhang Lingdao asked, "I don't know what Mr. has planned?" ”

Mr. Xiaodao smiled slightly, "The things given by the dragon head are very good, especially the one that can automatically identify us, it allows us to reduce a lot of burden, and at the same time, it also allows us to recruit new people and have a better choice!" ”

Zhang Lingdao nodded, he naturally knew that thing, and it was one of the few items he left behind, and it was a relatively useful thing.

"Although the item is not necessarily very accurate about the people or things in the branch, basically as long as the people in the rivers and lakes are still in this world, they can't escape its judgment, and we can also use this to distinguish some people who are not loyal to us, so that of course, recruiting new people will be much faster!"

"Because of this, we have accumulated a lot of manpower in a short period of time and began to put it into the entire rivers and lakes!" Mr. Kodo said.

"To accumulate such a large amount of manpower, it should take a lot of wealth to ......" Zhang Lingdao was a little worried, not knowing if the money he left behind was enough for them to continue to support.

If it wasn't enough, he still needed to find a way to get a sum of money to fund the development of their organization, although he had a systematic currency exchange system, which could take advantage of the loopholes in the world's currency exchange to produce some money out of thin air.

However, the Great Song Dynasty government was not stupid, his exchange method was to produce a large number of copper coins as a price, and silver and other general equivalents were exchanged to earn the difference that could not be exchanged in reality.

But as long as the amount he redeems exceeds a certain amount, it will always be discovered by others, not to mention that if he is the only one who is exchanging, he will still be discovered after all.

So he urgently needs a bigger source of money now, and what he thought at the beginning was still too simple, not everything can be solved by this, let alone after listening to these things that Mr. Xiaodao talked about.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is war or other aspects, as long as there is confrontation, everyone is inseparable from money, a cannon sounds, gold ten thousand taels, the so-called reckless military force, has never been just talk.

Zhang Lingdao has an ambition to dominate the world, so he must have the same financial resources, the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce has provided a thousand miles to kill, the wealth of the Shangguan family has created an imperial state, the financial resources of the Shifting Flower Palace have cultivated a water dragon Yin, and Bai Xiaosheng's wisdom has given birth to a Hanjiang City.

Tsing Yi Lou is the largest in the world, the place where intelligence is sold, of course, it is also the largest green house and teahouse in the world, the Zhu family in the East China Sea has the largest fleet and island in the world, and the business in the northern desert is also monopolized by the old man Wanguan.

Zhang Lingdao was a little shocked to find that in this world, as long as there is a place that can produce wealth, it is basically shrouded by those people.

Even the imperial court of the current dynasty held salt, iron, tea and other three sharp weapons in their hands, and collected huge taxes from merchants to create such a powerful cultural empire.

Zhang Lingdao couldn't help but fall into a state of contemplation, if he didn't come up with something new now, I'm afraid he would really not be able to make too much profit in this world.

But now it is the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the things that can be easily manufactured in history have basically been manufactured, what can he come up with?

He never put his hope on the imperial court, as long as it was an autocratic regime in the feudal era, it was basically the same, as long as you earned their money, you would not receive any good fruit to eat.

After all, in their eyes, you should be their house slave, and you should be obediently offered all good things, so how can you use money to buy them?

In fact, it is also the sorrow of the merchants from ancient times to the present, but in this society with rivers and lakes, the status of merchants has finally been improved more friendly.

Zhang Lingdao is in urgent need of a lot of money now, unless this kind of money is like Zhenwu, relying on the disciples to raise donations, the rest will mainly rely on these businessmen to exert their strength.

No matter when, the most profitable is always the period of national crisis, but unfortunately now the four seas are peaceful, at least before the Great Song Dynasty has really fallen, it is impossible to make a fortune in the country.

Zhang Lingdao changed his thinking, since he couldn't start from the level of trade or the place of trade, could he diverge from the goods?

Although there was a large surplus of various items in the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be seen from the historical materials that those items basically belonged to high-ranking officials, high-ranking officials, or wealthy merchants.

Except for some things about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, it actually doesn't have much to do with other ordinary people.

Therefore, Zhang Lingdao needs to think of something that can attract the attention of dignitaries and dignitaries, something that can give him a foothold in this world, these things not only need to have characteristics that are difficult for others to imitate, but also need to have extremely high item value.

"If you say these things...... Four Great Inventions...... The four great inventions should have come out in this era before ......" Zhang Lingdao thought silently, and suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

"Wait! It is now the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, movable type printing did not actually appear? Bi Sheng should still be in someone's womb now! ”

Zhang Lingdao finally found a blind spot, gunpowder, this kind of thing, he will definitely touch it in the future, but not now, now his power has not extended to the entire rivers and lakes, and he has not yet kept the confidence of these things.

Especially during this period of the Song Dynasty, the craftsmen in the imperial court and the rivers and lakes did not light up the technology tree of artillery and muskets, and more often used gunpowder to carry out some blasting or fireworks manufacturing projects, which was actually very profitable.

When he was powerful enough to negotiate with the entire court, that was when he made gunpowder weapons.

The wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was unimaginable for other dynasties, their official wealth was more than ten times that of the entire Tang Dynasty, and their military expenditures even reached a point where other dynasties could not spend them for decades, and after doing these things, they even had a surplus to issue New Year's coins to other countries.

With such a large amount of wealth piled up in the hands of the imperial court, if he didn't make a little money, how could he be worthy of the identity of a traverser?

Zhang Lingdao thought it was good, but he ignored the people around him, although movable type printing is good, it will not actually bring much income, so he still needs a project with a huge income.

"I have a plan, I wonder what Mr. thinks?" Zhang Lingdao said.
