When the huge salt ban campaign broke out last winter, many people actually have been in a state of anxiety, especially the drastic measures of killing Jin merchants and locking down Jin commercial banks in some places have added some anger and unwillingness to those who are secretly anxious.

These people are the representatives of the merchants who won the franchise at the Crouching Tiger Merchant Exhibition last year, and their anxiety comes from the huge losses caused by the impassability of the trade routes, and their anger comes from the fact that the government of the state does not care about the life and death of the merchants, and insists on killing all the merchants of the Jin Kingdom, and cutting off their original flowing financial resources.

When the campaign to run on the peasants, soldiers, merchants, and gold banks broke out in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, some merchants from Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Sili regions could not withstand the demagogy of the secret forces, and began to sell the Jin money they were holding.

After the Jin State began to issue the fourth batch of treasury bonds, the merchants of the world suddenly discovered that the energy of the peasant and soldier merchant gold bank has exceeded people's imagination, and this financial institution hidden behind the Jin State Commercial Bank on weekdays seems to have constituted a financial empire, which can easily control the flow direction of the world's wealth and freely allocate the goods and resources of each state. These businessmen even felt that as long as Zhao Xing controlled the peasant and soldier merchant gold bank, then the world would fall into his hands sooner or later.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also didn't expect that the Jin State's means of resolving the run storm would be so magnificent, not only did they easily deal with the chaotic situation in Qingxu Erzhou like a cloud, but they also turned around and looted 10 million taels of real gold and silver from Qingxu Erzhou.

Zhuge Liang worked hard to consolidate many states, and used the tens of millions of taels of Jin banknotes secretly purchased by the state treasury, which eventually turned into silver and flowed back to the treasury of each state, but the Jin State changed hands and gathered even greater wealth from the hands of the people of the world in the form of debts. The people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou may have been deceived and followed the trend to buy treasury bonds, but what shocked Zhuge Liang was that the people of the three states of Youji and Liang actually held such rich wealth.

According to the analysis of the information sent back by the intelligence personnel, the fourth batch of treasury bonds of the Jin State issued a total of 30 million taels, and the two prefectures of Qingxu and Xu subscribed no more than 10 million taels, while the three prefectures of Youji and Liang subscribed a total of 20 million taels. A full 20 million taels of gold and silver, that is the treasury income of the Han Dynasty in its heyday for two years! What's more, the population of the three regions is already scarce, and the land and products are not as rich as those in the Central Plains, if we compare the total wealth of the people in the three prefectures of the three prefectures, the total wealth of the Sili region, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Wuzhou together can be equal to the three prefectures controlled by Zhao Xing.

Zhuge Liang now finally understood why Zhao Xing had always attached importance to commercial development, constantly increasing the social status of merchants and craftsmen in the territory under his control. Zhao Xing was just taking care of himself and picking up benefits under the ridicule of the world's corporals, burying his head in strengthening himself, and then taking the time to trample on the Shiren group fiercely, and by the way, he slapped a few times.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, is a typical representative of the Shiren Group, and now he is cowering in Yecheng in a panic, according to the development situation of the Jin Kingdom, sooner or later he will be driven out of Jizhou by Zhao Xing. Next, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, the imperial court in the Sili region, and the Sima clan in Yizhou, these once invincible forces and families that have lasted for thousands of years, who can resist Zhao Xing, who is becoming stronger and stronger?

As soon as Zhuge Liang thought of the stormy future of the Han Dynasty, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Zhao Xing's opponent was too strong, and he barely left any flaws for his opponent to attack. Not only did they take military steps to lay down a piece of territory and first stabilize and manage it, and then continue to expand when it had been thoroughly digested; they were full of wisdom in managing internal affairs, appointing capable officials, selecting all kinds of talented people in an eclectic manner, mobilizing the people to supervise the exercise of their rights, and fully guaranteeing the rights and vested interests of the common people.

Many times, Zhuge Liang wondered, is Zhao Xing a sage who was born to know? If not, how could he be proficient in so many fields, and even invented a bra for women?

Zhuge Liang once carefully studied Zhao Xing's past life, and he was surprised to find that Zhao Xing was just a fool in Zhaojiazhuang, Huangxian County, before he "deceived the corpse and returned the soul", and he didn't even know a few big characters. All the amazing changes began to happen after Zhao Xing was carried out of the coffin, and this incident exuded a strange aura from head to toe......

When Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei about his inner doubts, Liu Bei also fell into deep fear. He felt that Zhuge Liang's suspicion was not chasing after the wind, Zhao Xing's life experience and origin were too puzzling, if you want to deal with Zhao Xing, you must first figure out the details of Zhao Xing, otherwise how to find his weakness?

Just when everyone in the world was paying attention to Zhao Xing's next move with all kinds of complicated feelings, there was surprising news in the Crouching Tiger City of the Jin Kingdom: the headquarters of the Peasant and Soldier Merchants and Gold Bank located in the Crouching Tiger City had built a glazed hall at its own gate, and it was said that the purchase of these crystal clear glazed tiles alone cost the Farmers and Soldiers Merchant Gold Bank nearly one million taels of silver. After the completion of the construction of the glazed hall, Zhao Taifu personally carried out the ribbon-cutting ceremony for this magical building, when Zhao Xing pulled down the huge silk cloth shrouded in the roof of the glazed hall, the onlookers only felt a flower in front of them, and then they were stunned to see a golden mountain, which was quietly standing in the glazed hall.

Some bold people asked Zhao Taifu how much the gold mountain in front of him weighed, and Zhao Xing replied: "This gold mountain is worth 10 million taels of silver, and it is a symbol of the wealth and strength of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Another person asked Zhao Taifu why he wanted to cast a gold mountain and put it in Crouching Tiger City, and Zhao Xing replied: "With this gold mountain, the people will not have to worry about the paper money issued by the Jin Kingdom in the future, and everyone can use the Jin State banknotes with confidence." ”

Zhao Xing's dialogue with the people before Jinshan was recorded by the reporter of the "Jin Daily" in its original place, and then published in the form of a front-page headline with the artist's real-life sketches. The title of this news is called "Casting the Golden Mountain and Calming the People's Heart", and it was written by Miss Cai Wenji, the top reporter of Jin Daily.

Although not many people in this era have heard of the term "reserve", after they saw the news in the newspaper, they still rushed to Crouching Tiger City to personally see the golden mountain of wealth, standing in front of the guards who guarded this golden mountain day and night, the people of the Jin Kingdom proudly said to the outsiders: "See, our Jin Kingdom is not bad for money!"
