In front of a high-rise building in St. Quentin, Solomon stepped into a mechanical tray. (

The gears bite and start agitating, and the mechanical tray slowly rises.

The mechanical tray is far less comfortable than the magic tray built of magic in the magic tower, which is really comparable to the elevator that Solomon once sits, and the mechanical tray can only be compared to the elevator used in the construction project, and the noise and flutter during the lifting process are larger.

However, in the new building being built in St. Quentine, this kind of artifact based on dwarven mechanical technology has been experimented with, because it has value but is far less expensive than using magic trays.

This high-rise building is the base of the Rose Bank in Asturias, and the exhibition of building materials has made a leap forward in the design of the architectural structure, and in recent years the new architecture of Santa Quentin has been exhibited in the direction of tall and complete.

The exhibition of building materials first came from military needs, and the wave of exploration and conquest of the alien planes that began a few years ago not only did not stop, but because of the excavation of the black rock, which successfully changed the outcome of the foreign war in Asturias, the kingdom raised the exploration of the foreign lands to the highest level.

While the kingdom still spends its main military power digesting and responding to the changes in Farusion and Yugudral, it encourages private exploration and colonization, allowing the formation of a certain private army to defend its interests in the Otherworld.

The general aspect is still a continuation of Solomon's original policy, although special legislation has been enacted, which has been recognized by both the royal family and the parliament.

Any alien territory that is explored and occupied by private individuals should be legally owned by the kingdom, and taxes should be paid to the kingdom, while enjoying the convenience of trade with the kingdom.

This law stipulates that uncharted territories explored by private individuals must be registered in the kingdom. and fulfill the obligation to pay taxes. in order to obtain two basic powers. One is the protection and support of the kingdom, and the other is the power of commerce.

If Kingdom Garrison protection is not used, the tax rate will be lower, and if Kingdom Garrison protection is requested, the tax rate will be higher.

However, if they did not register and pay taxes, they would be treated as a shadow territory, which would not only have to bear their own defenses, but would also not be able to receive other support from the kingdom. The output of its realm is also forbidden to trade in all parts of the kingdom.

In addition, the decree stipulates that pioneering otherworldly territories with important minerals must be registered, otherwise they will be forcibly confiscated by the kingdom, and these important minerals refer to precious metals, magic metals, alchemical materials, and black rock.

This decree led to a continuous increase in the kingdom's foreign exploration, but at the same time, smuggling became more and more rampant, because there were always pioneers who wanted to occupy a territory with these important minerals on their own, and then make a fortune with it.

But it is often impossible to gnaw hard bones, and will be counterattacked by the local aborigines against the invaders of the other world, or similar to the previous battle of Farusion in the face of other countries colonizing the same world at the same time and exposed, either stupid enough to die for money, or smart to return to Asturias immediately. Instead, the Kingdom forces will intervene to sustain interests.

Wars big and small, wars one after another. The intensity of the war is also getting higher, and the exploration and warfare of the Atlas need more and more a solid starting base to gain a foothold, otherwise a lot of sacrifices will be inflicted.

This led to a demand for building materials, and it was Solomon who eventually solved the problem.

He used the magic of fossils as mud to break down various rocks, and then used alchemy to mix them, and finally obtained a material similar to cement and concrete.

The reuse of a constant single fossil of the magic circle into mud, cement and concrete materials can be mass-produced, which brought the dawn of the architectural revolution.

Not only that, but the reverse use of the magic circle that constantly turns mud into stone can produce masonry of the same size in large quantities, which also provides a solid material foundation for the construction of higher and higher floors.

In the past, only magic towers that made use of a large number of magical principles and effects could be built as tall as a cloud, but the construction of each magic tower took almost half a mage's lifetime to build.

Now, after the above changes and reforms, ordinary buildings can be built to more than seven floors without collapsing, and due to the emergence of alchemical building materials like cement and concrete, houses are much stronger.

The fortresses of the Atlas Colony now make a lot of use of these, and can quickly build base forts.

Although this world does not have the level of technology before Solomon's crossing, it actually has magical power that is not necessarily inferior, but it is still in a primitive state in terms of application and guidance.

Solomon's appearance, the need for war, was like opening a window to make these swell like leaven.

The seven-story building of the Rose Bank is the limit of what the current new architectural design can reach, and if you want to get any higher, you must make a breakthrough in architectural design, and although it is impossible to have a magic tray like the construction of a magic tower, it uses a mechanical tray from the dwarven craftsman Ming.

The tray stopped at the top, and Solomon stepped out of the tray onto the floor of the seventh floor, and was guided by a glamorous maid into a tight, dark, luxurious room at the Rose Bank.

"Ha, here you are, my friend. The fat man sat in his seat and did not move, making a gesture of welcome to Solomon.

"Hello, Prince David. Solomon showed respect to the fat man.

Banking is a new industry that is thriving in Asturias, since a few years ago, in order to support Asturias through the difficulties, Solomon advocated that merchants form a central bank to raise funds and lend money to the kingdom, and succeeded, after the war, not only the capital and interest were returned, but most importantly, the merchants who participated in the kingdom conquered the territory of the kingdom can get far more trade convenience than other merchants, which is what the merchants valued.

Later, as the kingdom advocated private development, uneven adventuring teams sprung up, and at the same time, many people set up large and small banks, lent money to these adventurous teams, signed contracts, and once the development was successful, they would be shared in addition to the interests of the kingdom.

Of course, there have been great successes, but there have also been many more failures, and some have even been wiped out. As a result, the creditor does not even have the opportunity to find the debtor. Completely bloodless.

For a while. When San Quentin started building new high-rise buildings, there were always people climbing up the top floors of unfinished buildings in the middle of the night and jumping down from the top.

The next day, there were traces of brains and blood on the ground, which were casually covered with mud and sand by construction workers, and then dragged the body away.

At that time, it can be said that banks were born almost every day, and there were banks that went bankrupt every day.

It was at that time that the Rose Bank was created, and together with the central bank that was established first, the process of eating small fish was started.

Together, they pick banks that are about to go bankrupt for annexation. Of course, there is a selection process for other banks, and not every bank they need.

Solomon's focus was on its customer resources, and most of these banks were converted from the goldsmiths of the past, following the example of Franklin Bank and the central bank, but honestly only learning the surface, not really how to run it.

But even if it was formerly known as Goldsmith Bank, as long as it has been for decades, there must be some regular customers on hand.

Rose Bank does not put customer resources in the first place, but needs a large number of people.

Behind the Rose Bank is the Hidden Alliance. From that time when Prince David sent people, Solomon was in charge of making them learn how to run a bank. Rotated quite a few Bloodline studies.

The key positions in the upper and middle echelons of Rose Bank are all members of the Bloodline who have switched identities, which gives the Bloodline a lot of identities to disguise, and no longer has to pretend to be a country gentleman or find a castle retreat with no one.

This is the most ideal life for the blood clans, who can not only get in touch with the world, but also be safe and reasonable.

After Solomon provided them with further ideas, under the pretext of researching blood transfusion technology and other medicine, building a medical school, and solving the "food" problem, more and more members of the Secret Alliance began to gather, and the originally loose alliance gradually expanded into a tight organization.

The Secret Alliance is composed of seven clans, but in the past, it was suppressed by the Demon Banquet Alliance, in addition to Prince Francis falling into a deep sleep, a big reason is that it is too loose, and even the prince can't do anything about it.

Under such a transformation, the power of the Hidden Alliance is condensing, and if it were not for this, it would not have been able to resist the challenge from the Demon Feast Alliance and the necromancers in the Dark Council in the past few years.

This shift has made the Bloodlines really start to value the Rose Bank, and the creation of each Rose Branch is almost equivalent to assembling the members of the Hidden Alliance in a region, allowing them to rally together and providing a lot of security to disguise their identities in a way that was not possible before.

However, the establishment of various branches still requires a large number of grassroots personnel at the bottom, and they are the people who can really maintain the operation of the bank, and the blood clan will not go to the counter.

This is not in keeping with the pride of the Bloodline, who established the Rose Bank not to serve the people, nor strictly speaking, to serve the currency, but to maintain and demonstrate the need for this new mode of survival of the Bloodline.

Therefore, when it comes to competing with the central bank for the small banks that go bankrupt, what the Rose Bank needs is to merge those with skilled employees, which is why the Rose Bank has been able to form multiple branches in a few years.

However, this also objectively saved the banking industry, which had just started, otherwise it is not known how many more people would have lost their jobs, which the central bank and Franklin Bank alone could not fully absorb.

It can be said that the Rose Bank is pursuing scale in this merger war, even if it will cause huge losses, but the Bloods don't care, because what they want is to establish the Rose Bank.

The Salomon pursues quality, and the more stable Franklin Bank can only be regarded as a regional bank, always insisting on traditional deposits, withdrawals and other businesses, and the investment business is almost risky.

But the Rose Bank didn't care, and the path that Solomon designed for them was also to sacrifice their interests and quickly build a certain scale.

However, even so, although the branches have been initially established in many countries, they can be invested, such as those banks that have gone bankrupt because of their investment in dimensional pioneers and adventurers, there are currently only two, Asturias has been tacitly allowed after reconciliation, and because the Church of Light has been at odds with the kingdom a few years ago, although the Church of Jolawan has reopened, the village churches have been hit hard, and the church is powerless against dark creatures, and in addition to Titania.

The relationship between the Saxons and the Church of Light is too close, and the Hidden Alliance does not dare to expand for the time being, otherwise it will be easy to open a new front outside of the battle of the Dark Council;

Modo ignored it for the time being, because it was the weakest of the nations. (To be continued!)
