On the river, the breeze is gentle, the steam-driven water and hot wheel is advancing rapidly on the river, and the bow of the ship stirs up countless snow-white crystal waves......

Today is the third day that the six state thorns came to Qiyun County, after reading what should be seen, today Yan Liqiang took the six thorns to the dock in Qinghe County on the boat, and then let the boat go directly to Pingxi City, tonight to Pingxi City has a farewell dinner, tomorrow the six thorns should return to their respective state cities.

As for Zhong Hongyan, the head of the Zhong family, after receiving Yan Liqiang's greeting, he had been waiting in Qiyun County for several days, so that he could return to Pingxi City by boat with the six assassins today.

The steamship that everyone is riding now is the second batch of steamships built by the Manufacturing Bureau, and the second batch of steamships has been greatly improved compared with the first batch, because a large number of top craftsmen have joined the Manufacturing Bureau, and many of those craftsmen have built big ships before, so the second batch of water and hot ships has been greatly improved compared with the first batch in the manufacture of the hull, and the steam engine and rudder installed on the ship have also undergone some changes。

This "No. 1 Hot Steamer" specially built by the Manufacturing Bureau for Yan Liqiang It is also made gorgeous, unique, the double-deck and many of the wood of the building ship are used on the new paint process used on the four-wheeled carriage, the ship also uses springs to make the sofa-like soft collapse and stool, the original noisy engine room is made of maple and cotton to make a double layer of sound insulation, the noise is smaller, the carved beams and paintings on the ship are beautiful, where there is a chimney, and for the first time the whistle made by the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau is installed, the whistle sounds, the leisurely sound echoes on the river like the sound of a horn, it is really a very windy, the ship along the way, see the big flag of the Pingxi Wangfu hanging on the ship, the boats on the river are hurriedly pulled asideMany of the ship's sailors cheered at the ship from afar.

After coming to this ship, the six thorns once again felt that they were eye-opening, such a ship, they were also on such a ship for the first time, the comfort and speed of this water freighter, once again refreshed their understanding of the ship.

"The general trend of the world, just like the water of the river in front of you, mighty, endless, because the general direction of the topography of Ganzhou and the northwest is high in the west and low in the east, so the water of the river in front of you also flows from west to east, all this seems simple, but it contains the truth, what is the reason, it boils down to a sentence, the development and change of all things, will always follow the evolution in the direction of the least resistance, this is the way, the so-called road, is from high to low, that is, the path with the least resistance, this truth is put between regions, between countries, and even between the races and races of the entire Silver Continent, the same is true......" Yan Liqiang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river and the riverbank, full of spirit, "If the water wants to become a trend, it must come out of the high, from the high to the low, so that the water can drip through the stone and the water can become a mulberry field can be a sea, and the country must become a trend, and the same is true, if the Han Empire wants to become a power, if it wants to dominate the world, sweep Liuhe, the one who is high, you know where it is high?"

Hearing Yan Liqiang's question, some of the stabs on the bow of the ship frowned, and some looked at each other, and after a few people muttered slightly, Gu Tongan opened his mouth first.

Gu Tongan glanced at Yan Liqiang with a humble and humble attitude, and then said with a pun of pun, "As long as there are Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, the Han Empire will regain its former glory and majesty in the world, just around the corner!"

Yan Liqiang shook his head, "There is a Ming monarch, there is a faint monarch, there are virtuous ministers and traitorous ministers, Ming Jun may not be able to meet virtuous ministers, and virtuous ministers may not be able to meet Ming Jun, so throughout history, Ming Jun and virtuous ministers can happen to encounter things together, there are only a few, occasionally short-lived, a court can last for 400 years, when Ming Jun and virtuous ministers can meet together, it is less than a hundred years, and the country is high, never here!"

"Ming Jun Xianchen is just pointing out the country above the court, this Han Empire wants to dominate the world, relying on the number of soldiers below, for example, the Manchurian people can pull out a million troops, if we can pull out an army of three million, how dare he repeatedly invade the territory of our Han Empire, I Ganzhou originally had a million strong army, how could the seven departments of Shatu be arrogant in the Gulang Grassland for so long, the so-called prestige, or rely on knives and guns to kill......" Lei Sitong said in a rough voice.

"In the previous dynasty, there were tens of millions of people with armor, and there were 10,000 tiger generals, unparalleled in the world, but because of the tyrannical conquest, the third generation died, how can this be said to be powerful in the world?" Yan Liqiang asked Lei Sitong with a smile.

"This ......," Lei Sitong was speechless for a moment.

"If the country wants to be strong, it must have a full treasury and abundant money and food, so the highest in the country is in the word money and grain!" Zhong Hongyan said.

Yan Liqiang smiled and shook his head, "In the eyes of the robbers, the rich people who like to save money and hoard grain are all fat sheep to be slaughtered, and the country is relied on as the highest, if it is just the money and grain hoarded in the official treasury of the government, then such a country is no different from those misers, once there is a change, the prosperity of the hundred worlds can be turned into scorched earth in an instant!"

"Then I don't know where in the eyes of His Highness the Han Empire must be in order to dominate the world?" Lin Zitong asked cautiously.

Yan Liqiang smiled, but he didn't say it directly, but pointed to the river under the boat, "If we leave the dock in Qinghe County today, there are two people on the same road with us, and one of them has no money to take a boat, so he jumps into the river and wants to swim to Pingxi City, and there is another person who just takes an ordinary boat, and we are on a hot and water boat, who do you think will reach Pingxi City first in the end?

"Uh......" Everyone on the deck listened to Yan Liqiang's words, and fell into deep thought one by one.

"For example, in the past, an ordinary embroidery girl in Qinghe County, a person worked for a year, and could only barely let the family have clothes to wear, and then could earn a little money and food, and now, the same is an ordinary embroidery girl in Qinghe County, if she enters the first factory in the world, a person works for a year, in addition to being able to feed a family, so that the family can be fed and clothed, and the money that can be saved every year will be more, enough for the family to live a good life, this embroidery girl is the same person, in the same place, doing the same thing, why the latter can live a better life than the formerThe first factory in the world to recruit embroidery girls is not doing good deeds, the first factory in the world also made more money for the first factory in the world, created more wealth, the first factory in the world also used the money to hire more guards and manpower, where do you say the money came from?"

"For example, the archer cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Army, why do there are people in the Seven Divisions of Shatu who have horses, but there is never such a force as the archers?"

The so-called concept of productivity is too unfamiliar to these people in front of him, and it is confusing to explain, so Yan Liqiang simply used a few things to explain, looking at everyone's pensive looks, Yan Liqiang smiled, "This problem, you can think slowly, but there is one more thing in front of you, and you still need strong ......support after you go back."

"Oh, I wonder if Your Highness needs my support on something?" asked Bo Rui.

"Seriously, it's not a support, but a profitable thing to do with hello, hello, hello, everyone!" Yan Liqiang glanced at Zhong Hongyan, the head of the Zhong family, "I am going to cooperate with the Zhong family in the northwest to open a bank ......"

"Ah, bank, what kind of business is this?" asked Lei Sitong with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem, this bank is a bit like a money bank, in fact, it is similar to a money bank...... Zhong Hongyan, the head of the Zhong family, stepped forward and looked at several thorns with a smile, "In order to thank you for your support, Your Highness told me that if you deposit the gold and silver in your hands in our Chase Bank in the future, no matter how much is deposited, our Chase Bank will not charge a few adults for the withdrawal and custody of gold and silver, and I hope you will support ......"

What, you don't have to pay withdrawal and custody fees when you deposit money in Chase Bank, and there are such good things in the world?

Several assassins suddenly felt that His Royal Highness King Pingxi was really taking care of himself, and his brain was a little more active, and he immediately thought that if he deposited all the official silver or other people's silver into this Chase Bank, wouldn't the official bank and other people's silver be stored in the custody and withdrawal fees of other banks, wouldn't it be saved, and then flow into his own pocket......
