In the next period of time, Fufeng County was also busy.

First of all, the most important cement firing and railway train construction, the craftsmen gathered by Ji Qingyan, after getting the drawings given by Lin Ze, began to learn to understand and then began to draw gourds to make the finished products.

During this period, Lin Ze went back to Fengping County, found thirty and a half teenagers from his own soldiers' family members, and stuffed them into factories as apprentices, learning and mastering these techniques with these craftsmen.

After the reproduction is successful, the next step is to recruit more people for large-scale production.

After all, the firing of cement and the construction of entry-level railways and steam trains are not very difficult things, but it takes a lot of time to achieve the goal.

On the other hand, while the cement factory and the railway company began to prepare, a trading market began to be set up outside the South Gate of Fufu County.

This trading bazaar buys all kinds of mountain treasures and minerals produced in the Hengduan Mountains, and also sells daily necessities such as grain, salt, and cloth, all of which are traded at market prices, and does not choose to increase the price of the mountain people because of their barren output.

Just like the role of the Beihaiguan Grassland Market, it is mainly to attract mountain people to come down the mountain.

In the beginning, there was no one at the trading bazaar.

The mountain people of the Hengduan Mountains and the Great Zhou Dynasty have not been hostile for a year or two, and the trust between the two sides is almost equal to zero.

But Ji Qingyan played a trick of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, first cut off the caravans that had entered the mountain for trade in the past, and did not allow them to secretly send materials to the mountain, and then sent someone to inform them that they could trade materials outside the South Gate Pass in the future.

The material output in the Hengduan Mountains is already barren, and if there is no caravan into the mountains to buy the mountain treasures and furs they produce and bring the materials they need, in the long run, it will make their already poor life even worse.

On the contrary, if you go down the mountain to trade, if the other party is trustworthy, there is still a way to live.

How to choose, it is already very clear.

So, some brave people began to try to take the mountain treasures and furs stored at home to the Nanmenguan market to trade.

Then they were surprised to find that although these Great Zhou troops patrolled around the market to maintain order, they did not kill them.

In addition, the price of his mountain treasures and furs is several times higher than in the past, but the price of buying materials is several times lower, and the profits are huge.

Even if they deduct the increased labor cost of their own long distances, they are more profitable.

At this time, the mountain people of the Hengduan Mountains discovered how much money the merchants who had helped them live better in their eyes before, and the merchants who were praised by them, had made them.

As a result, some nimble brains began to go back to the mountain to buy materials from other well-informed mountain people and transport them out of the mountain for sale.

However, this situation only lasted for a short time, and the news of the market spread among many mountain groups in the Hengduan Mountains, and people no longer foolishly sold their surplus goods to second-class dealers, but chose to go out of the mountains to sell their goods to the market by themselves.

In this case, the popularity of the South Gate Pass Market suddenly became strong.

Taking advantage of this time, Ji Qingyan started the second step of action, she asked her stewards to take action and began to recruit these mountain people to build the railway.

Although the rails, concrete materials, and trains needed to build the railway were not prepared, some of the preliminary road leveling work could have started in advance.

——

On the upper floor of the South Gate, Lin Ze and Ji Qingyan stood side by side, watching the lively scene in the market below the Chengguan.

Many mountain people dragged their families to carry the fur and mountain treasures they had accumulated on weekdays, weighed and sold them at the princess's mansion steward, and then used the money they got to buy the rice, flour, salt and other daily necessities they needed.

This comes and goes, and profits are generated.

"It's really like money."

At this time, Ji Qingyan said with emotion.

The opening of the bazaar can also make a lot of money, because it is a monopoly business, and you can steadily earn 3,000 taels of silver every day.

But on the other hand, the investment is also amazing.

The cement factory and the railway company are frantically consuming funds, although the bazaar is making money, it is also squeezing the liquidity at the moment, and the liquidity in Ji Qingyan's hand is basically all smashed in, and there is only some silver money left in his hand for daily cultivation.

In fact, if it weren't for the increase in grain production brought about by chemical fertilizers, which could feed the extra population in the Hengduan Mountains, otherwise Ji Qingyan would not be able to play in the current bazaar, which can earn a small 100,000 taels of silver a month.

"I'll lend you 10 billion money, just five percent interest a year, and pay it in gold and silver after a year."

"At present, I will invest in the construction of this railway into the Hengduan Mountains, but after a while, I will receive your royal brother's railway order, and the construction of the national railway will require a huge amount of start-up capital, and I can't do it without money."

At this time, Lin Ze on the side naturally opened his mouth to expand his business.

Ten billion dollars is 10 million taels of silver.

Lin Ze's copper coin factory has been in operation for more than four months now, and it is producing copper coins at a rapid rate of 120 million copper coins per day, and the total output has exceeded 15 billion so far.

Although Lin Ze has been flowing copper coins into the market of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the form of paying salaries to the industrial employees under his command and exchanging them in the gold bank, there are still a lot of copper coins left, and if Ji Qingyan wants to borrow money, Lin Ze can take out these copper coins immediately.

And Ji Qingyan is also a good business object, her princess status is a credit guarantee, she doesn't have to worry about running away if she owes money and doesn't repay the money, and secondly, once Lin Ze and her business cooperates with it, the funds in her hands will increase wildly.

The ability to repay is guaranteed.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Ze is not afraid that she will not pay back.

Swarm drone debt collection?

"Okay."

Ji Qingyan glanced at Lin Ze and nodded in agreement.

Lin Ze only charges five percent annual interest, which is extremely conscientious compared to a loan that is nine out of thirteen, and under normal circumstances, Ji Qingyan can't get such a low interest rate when she borrows money, at least ten percent of the annual interest.

She really needs money, and with this huge start-up capital, even if she needs to pay interest on 500,000 taels of silver a year, she can earn more in the future.

"Well, I'll give you the voucher and go to Fengping County to withdraw money by yourself."

Lin Ze took out a stack of exchange vouchers from Zhiyuan Gold Bank, a total of one hundred pieces of 100 million yuan each.

Of course, Lin Ze can actually send the money directly to Ji Qingyan, but he is too troublesome.

It is not troublesome to open the gate of the heavens and send 10 billion, 50,000 tons of copper coins to Fufeng County, but it consumes only a little bit of luck and the spiritual power of carrying these copper coins to use the space with them, and these costs are also borne by transporting the copper coins from the main world.

However, when the money arrives, another problem is counting.

This process can be cumbersome, and even counting can take a lot of time and effort.

Therefore, Lin Ze still chose to send these copper coins to his treasury in Fengping County, and threw them to his subordinates.

——

"Are you truthmen minting copper coins privately?"

At this time, Ji Qingyan took the exchange voucher and wrote an IOU to Lin Ze for sealing, and then asked the soul.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people were not allowed to mint currency.

In fact, the reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty used gold and silver as currency was that there were not enough copper coins, and the copper coins minted by the Great Zhou Dynasty over the years plus the copper coins minted by many previous dynasties would be about 500 billion copper coins after deducting the damaged part.

Considering that many copper coins were buried by some landlords and wealthy families, in fact, there may not be 100 billion copper coins circulating in the market.

Lin Ze sold tens of billions of copper coins here at every turn, and Ji Qingyan remembered that the 100 million coins she got last time were all brand new, so she suddenly guessed that Lin Ze was minting currency privately.

"Well, gold and silver are important industrial materials, the output is scarce and difficult to mine, and the output of copper is relatively high, although it is not profitable to make copper coins, but it can be used to scrape a lot of gold and silver in the world."

"In fact, the reason why I borrowed you 10 billion copper coins this time revealed that my side has the ability to mint copper coins, instead of borrowing you 10 million taels of silver, is to take this opportunity to reach a cooperation with the Great Zhou royal family."

"I hope that in the future, all the copper coins produced by my side can be sold to your Great Zhou royal family at the price of 1,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan and 12 gold."

"There are two advantages of this cooperation, the first is that your Great Zhou royal family can save the cost of minting currency, and this part alone is estimated to save tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, and the second is that the increase in the flow of money in the market is conducive to your tax collection."

"When collecting taxes, it is still very troublesome to collect food and cloth directly, it is better to collect money directly, and then there are a lot of labor, poll taxes and the like, people can directly pay taxes if they have money in their hands."

"Maybe next year, your Da Zhou's financial income will be tens of millions more silver."

Lin Ze nodded directly and promised, this kind of thing can't be hidden, and forcibly pretending to be stupid is nothing more than insulting people's IQ.

If it was before, Lin Ze would still pretend to be it, and only mix the copper coins he made into small transactions and flow to the market.

But since he comprehended the end of the world, after his self-protection ability was full, he didn't bother to pretend.

After it is enough to protect himself, Lin Ze is not afraid that the other party will use force against him, and at this time, putting forward a request for cooperation that is beneficial to both parties can further dispel the resistance of the other party to the violated rights and interests and eliminate possible disputes.

In this case, striding forward, the speed of development directly begins to snowball.

Ji Qingyan digested Lin Ze's words slightly, and then asked with confirmation: "Can you exchange gold and silver for copper coins fixedly?" It's all the same quality I got from you before? ”

Lin Ze nodded.

His copper coins are more real than the real thing, and they are not adulterated at all.

It is nothing more than using the efficient production of industry to save costs, and then using the difference in the exchange ratio of gold and silver to make profits, and there is no real loss for the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is also Ji Qingyan's inquiry, are you minting copper coins privately? Instead of you minting counterfeit money?

"Save the fire consumption of coinage, increase the amount of money circulating in the market, and receive more taxes, the only price you need to pay is that the denomination is too large, and it is not very convenient to circulate gold and silver."

"If this goes on for a long time, all the gold and silver on the market will disappear, but at that time, it seems that there is no harm except for a little trouble in creating gold and silver jewelry."

Ji Qingyan thought about it, but she didn't notice any drawbacks.

Copper coins are different from paper money, this is a kind of currency with value, and the copper of the copper coin itself is the basic guarantee of its value, and it can still be used after the change of dynasty, not that it is worthless without official endorsement.

For Lin Ze, gold and silver have the advantage of exchange ratio, and they can make money in the main world.

But for the other world, gold and silver are nothing more than a precious metal currency and ornaments, and they do not have much practical significance.

"I'll mention this matter to the imperial brother."

Ji Qingyan finally said this, but she didn't directly agree, she didn't have this right.

Lin Ze didn't care either.

If Ji Yuan agrees to cooperate, then he can plunder the gold and silver on the side of World No. 2 faster and return to the main world, if the other party does not agree to cooperate, it is nothing more than slowing down.

Anyway, he has always done this, and the gold and silver trading of the two worlds is the one with the largest yield in his current industry.

——

This is the end of the conversation between the two, and Ji Qingyan went to report to his brother.

Lin Ze began to cultivate.

After many verifications, Lin Ze had already determined that there was no problem with the Zhou Tian Divine Skill he had learned from Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan, brother and sister.

At this moment, Lin Ze began to officially cultivate this peerless divine skill.

He held his sword, took a stance, and began to practice according to the content of the exercises.

After cultivating for a while, Lin Ze discovered the difference between this peerless divine skill and his previous cultivation techniques.

In the meridians and acupoints, the internal breath is circulating at a high speed, and the flesh, bones, bones and organs of the whole body are mobilized at this time, and the qi and blood are running up and down the body.

Lin Ze could clearly feel that the food he ate in his stomach was being digested rapidly, his body was constantly getting stronger, and the internal breath in the meridians and acupoints was also refining and refining qi at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, accumulating more strength.

"Externally, it accelerates the consumption rate of food and improves its ability to obtain external energy, and internally, it efficiently mobilizes the qi and blood of the whole body to enhance the origin."

"This complete peerless divine skill, the cultivation speed is too fast, it is more than ten times faster than the superior martial arts, if you continue to cultivate at this speed, it will not be long before you can break through to the cultivation of the Yunshen realm."

Lin Ze sensed his state, and some amazement surged in his heart.

Just when Lin Ze wanted to make persistent efforts to cultivate, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Huh?"
