Just lie in the room and print money. This is just Xiao Cheng's beautiful plan and expectation for the future. If you want to do this, you can do it just by defeating the Liao Kingdom and unifying the world. Because even if it comes to that

At that time, it was impossible to survive just by printing money, which would only cause inflation in one's own country and make the people's livelihood difficult. If you want to do this, you can only expand outward desperately and let other vast areas of the world become

Pay at home.

To put it bluntly, it is a way to live as a Taoist friend but not to die as a poor Taoist.

Now, Xiao Cheng just wants the United Bank to become a link and a tie to strengthen the members within the federation, so that everyone can be more closely connected on the basis of interests through the United Bank. It also allows everyone to gain greater benefits through the United Bank.

competitive advantage.

You must know that although all the businessmen here are big bosses in their own industries, they are not without competitors. And it is no surprise that behind these competitors, there are either court bosses or

There are relatives of the emperor and nobles, or wealthy nobles from long-established families. Each of them is not so easy to deal with.

It is precisely because the members basically all have powerful enemies, and even if they have no immediate concerns, they still have far-reaching worries, that everyone can gather together.

Once you have an organization, you will naturally have nothing to fear when putting things together.

Because they can use their own organization to obtain huge support that is almost impossible to obtain from the other party.

No matter who is standing behind them, who can be like the Chamber of Commerce? Standing behind them is a huge force covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and having millions of people!

What's more important is that this force is blatantly pursuing their own agenda.

Luo Kaixian was already preparing to go to war with his biggest enemy after returning. The Su family on the road between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, in the past two years, has climbed up to Xia Jie, who has re-entered the court as his husband, flaunted his power, and used the power of the government to suppress him.

What is unbearable?

This time here, after having an in-depth conversation with Xiao Cheng, Luo Kaixian was ready to start a war against the Su family after returning.

The Federation has already begun to make a detailed plan for him, how to start, what difficulties will be encountered along the way, how to deal with it at which point, how to advance, when to make big strides forward, and when to strategically retreat.

Withdraw, and then suddenly start a fierce attack just when the opponent thought it was over. The dozens of pages of the plan, line by line, were an eye-opener for Luo Kaixian.

Luo Kaixian had no official backing before, but this backing was not on the same level as Xia Jie's, so the Luo family could only retreat step by step.

But things are different now.

The Federation may not have a good reputation, but it can openly quarrel with Xia Jie on official occasions. In the eyes of outsiders, this is an incredible thing, but in the eyes of those who really know the inside story, this is an unbelievable thing.

An extremely normal thing.

When the backends of both sides cannot tell the winner for a while, the two sides at the end can only compete with each other through purely commercial means.

In this way, Luo Kaixian felt that he was sure to win.

Take a look at the people in this Zhuangzi now, right? With the endorsement of the Federation, I will get their undivided support, and can the Su family find so many powerful helpers?

When they arrived in Bangzhou this time, Luo Kaixian and others were constantly surprised by the final result of the discussion. If they had only a vague understanding of the overall strength of the federation before, they only knew one but not the other, and had no overall understanding.

If so, then the overall appearance of the Federation this time allowed them to clearly see the huge strength of the Federation.

And this conference is Xiao Cheng's integration of all his strengths.

Integration of political power. Qianzhou, Bozhou, and Sizhou were unified under the Federation in terms of implementation of decrees, appointment of officials, tax corvee and other management. These places used to be Jizhou for the imperial court. In these aspects

, originally autonomous, this time, but in the past, dozens of Jizhou Prefectures were doing their own thing, and the imperial court also specially sent people to stir up trouble among them, making them fight with each other endlessly, and they could never be integrated into a whole. But now,

They were completely kneaded together by Xiao Cheng. As for Guangnan West Road, it is naturally impossible to do this, but as a recruiter, Cen Zhong holds the task power of the grassroots officials of Guangnan West Road. This matter,

Of course it can be done quietly. And the cave masters and mountain masters on Guangnan West Road have been beaten into obedience by Cen Zhong. How dare they make trouble there? As for the final struggles on Guangnan West Road, this time

After the conference, it probably won’t exist anymore.

The second point is military unification. What Luo Kaixian never expected was that Bozhouyang and Sizhoutian actually agreed to integrate their own armed forces into the management of the entire federation. Although the two armies were from above,

At the end of the day, people from the Tian family and the Yang family are still leading them, but with Xiao's signing method, I am afraid that in the future, these two armies will be slowly swallowed up by the Federation. The Yangtian family

If our army steps beyond the two states without the imperial edict, it will almost break up with the imperial court. From now on, there will be no way to retreat. And this day is not far away.

Already.

Because at the just-concluded committee meeting, all committee members had raised their hands and agreed to the next strategic goal, which was to kill Dali.

Dali is also a big country with a population of one million!

Everyone present, who is not so excited that he can’t sleep at night because of this incident?

Including himself, among all the businessmen present, who would have thought that one day they would be able to decide the life or death of a country with a population of millions?

In the past, this was a matter that only the court officials and officials were qualified to decide!

I don’t know how much effort the Federation has put into Dali in the past two years. At the meeting, there were several large boxes of information, maps detailing every village, every river, every trail, and maps of various places in Dali.

Detailed information on the garrison, from the number of troops to the generals' personalities and even the conflicts between them, is clearly understood.

Know yourself and the enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

When the hands of the more than 20 businessmen present were raised, when their hearts were beating loudly, these elites also understood that a ground-breaking event was happening from their side.

Born in hands.

If one day the Federation really walks out of the southwest like the beautiful picture Xiao Cheng painted for them and becomes a force that controls the world's situation, then there is no doubt that they, the founders, will be remembered in history, and this time Bangzhou

The meeting will inevitably go down in history.

Third, the unification of financial resources. The establishment of United Bank, the decision to issue payment vouchers for internal transactions of the Federation, and the unified settlement of fiscal and taxation in Qianzhou, Bozhou, Sizhou and other places enabled the Federation to not only unify the financial resources within the region, but also

Easily mobilize the financial resources of everyone present. As soon as United Bank opens its doors, it will open more than ten branches in the south.

Of course, the businessmen participating in the meeting also understand that now, they are only participants and are not qualified to be decision-makers.

The decision-makers were the four people sitting at the top during the meeting that day.

Xiao Cheng, Yang Qing, Tian Chou, Cen Chong.

Four permanent members.

Each of these committee members in the federation can propose an issue. If it gets the support of more than two-thirds of all members, it can be submitted to the standing committee for review. Once the review is passed, it can be officially implemented.

Of course, the standing members have the right to veto any matter, even if it is supported by more than two-thirds of the ordinary members.

But the decision maker's door is open.

At this meeting, Xiao Cheng clearly explained this matter. Every three years, the Federation will hold a general meeting, at which a new permanent member will be determined.

Although the words were not stated clearly, the facts were before everyone.

Strength, strength is decisive.

You can have military strength, financial strength, or reputation strength.

No matter which one, when you can be superior to everyone in a certain aspect, you can become a member of the permanent committee.

The maximum number of permanent members is seven, but now, there are only four.

Three positions are available, waiting for them.

Among the dozens of people present today, who is not jealous and jealous?

Sitting in this position means that millions of people, tens of thousands of troops, and countless wealth are all under the control of the Union.

Moreover, these things will continue to expand.

Once Dali is captured!

Once Guangnan West Road is brought under the rule!

Once the troops enter Jiaozhi!

Thinking of this, everyone can't help but breathe heavily, and everyone can't help but put all their wealth and life on it without hesitation.

How many times can one fight in life?

Moreover, not everyone has a chance to fight like this!

Their ancestors have worked hard for many years to create what they are today, and now they have a chance to fight.

As long as this attempt is successful, their family will achieve qualitative changes.

One step up from the merchant family.

Become a family that can determine the general trend of the world.

Drunk and lying on the beauty's knees!

Wake up and take over the world!

This is a great opportunity for their family to soar into the sky and leap over the dragon's gate.

After everyone returns this time, what they have to do is not just commercial things. Doing business and making money are just a stepping stone for them to do things. Their more important energy will be invested in quietly expanding the strength of the federation.

Go in.

Three years later, when they sit here again, who can sit next to those four people will depend on their hard work in the past three years.

Everyone is keenly aware that the world is about to face a big change.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has never been as weak as it is now.

Northwest Xiao is determined to be independent.

To the north, the Liao Kingdom was aggressive.
To be continued...
