The next month.

Chen Daoxuan kept summoning various families who came to Guanhai Fairy City to establish a foothold, as well as casual cultivators who chose to open a store in Guanhai Fairy City, to promote spirit stone coins to them.

Guanhai Xiancheng was newly built soon.

Although the construction has not been completed, many businesses have already settled in it.

Although the entire fairy city is not as popular as Lingzhou Fairy City, it is becoming more and more prosperous.

There is no way, monks need a lot of resources to practice, and no monk can produce any resources.

This is inevitable for large families and even sect forces.

therefore.

Trade exchanges are very important to any cultivator force in this world.

The stronger the power of cultivation, the more prosperous its business activities are.

After all, only when the economy is prosperous can there be enough resources to produce more powerful monks.

This is not much different from the previous life.

It was almost the same as Chen Daoxuan imagined. Under his power, no family or shop-opening cultivator dared to refuse to use spirit stone coins.

Of course, this method of forcing the spirit stone coins.

It will definitely leave everyone with the image of the Chen family being arrogant and domineering and greedy for money.

But Chen Daoxuan didn't care.

How can outsiders see the benefits of a currency becoming popular with people.

Now they rejected them, and even rely on Chen Daoxuan to use his strength to oppress the other party and force them to use spirit stone coins in Guanhai Xiancheng.

But after they used it for a while and felt the benefits of the spirit stone coins.

You will inevitably feel that paper money has too many advantages over spirit stones.

In Chen Daoxuan's view.

Using spirit stones as currency is even worse than gold and silver in ancient times.

At least, as currency, the reserves of gold and silver are fixed and will not suddenly decrease for no reason.

The spirit stone is different. In addition to its monetary attributes, it also has an important function - cultivating spiritual veins.

Whether it is the Guang'an Immortal Alliance to build spiritual veins or the Zhou family to build spiritual veins, it consumes a lot of spiritual stones.

After consuming a large amount of spirit stones, the market in Guang'an Mansion ushered in a shortage of spirit stones.

This shortage of spirit stones has caused a shortage of money in the entire Guang'an Mansion.

Many times, monks who lack spirit stones have to barter.

But there is no need to say more about how low the efficiency of barter is.

That is a backward economic phenomenon that only primitive society has.

Another important reason why Chen Daoxuan insisted on promoting the banknotes such as Lingshi Coin is that the industrialized production of Shuanghu Island will bring about a leap in productivity.

Once these industrial products are launched on the market, they will inevitably further aggravate the shortage of spirit stones.

The Chen family's industrial scale is small now, and this phenomenon is not obvious.

If the industrial scale of Shuanghu Island is expanded by a hundred times, it is probably not enough that the spirit stones of the entire Guang'an Prefecture will be concentrated in the transactions and circulation between the Chen family and the outside world.

By then, the industrial development of Shuanghu Island will inevitably be greatly hindered.

If the development of industry depends on trade, then currency is the medium of trade, but this medium is not strong enough, and industrial development will inevitably be hindered.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Daoxuan's move may be a rash move, but in fact, it is clearing obstacles in advance for the industrialization of Shuanghu Island.

......

One month later.

The main hall of the coalition headquarters of the West Defense Zone.

Ten thousand soldiers sat upright in the hall with Chen Daoxuan.

a long time.

Wei Lidao of the Wei family stood up first and bowed, "I report to the commander, tomorrow will be the day to pay the soldiers of the coalition troops in the West Defense District, but the spirit stones in our army seem to be..."

卫立道感受着陈道玄身上若有若无的压迫,到嘴边的话却不敢说出来.

"Um."

陈道玄微微抬起眼睑,笑道:“既然明日是发军饷的日子,有些话,我也不得不说几句.

大家都知道,我西防区虽然有八千万灵石的军费,这笔军费看似很多,但细究起来,并没有多少.

给军卒购置法器,培育灵脉,建造仙城,发放军饷.

如此一来,军费本就紧张,可就是这种情况,居然还有人胆敢贪墨军费.”

Chen Daoxuan's voice unknowingly aggravated a little.

“你们说,对这种现象,我们西防区联军上至统领,下至军卒,能容忍吗?”

Hearing words.

Everyone looked at their eyes and their noses and their hearts, and they remained silent.

但大家知道,陈道玄既然说出这句话,必然是要拿人开刀了.

雷震豁然站起来,大声道:“我们西防区全体军士,为了建造仙城兢兢业业,为了巡防整个西防区,不仅夜不能寐,甚至耽误自身修行.

就是这样,我们西防区居然还会出这种败类,何人能忍?”

"Yes! General Lei said it well!"

"I can't bear it, this wind must not rise!"

"right......"

“…”

看着众人的附和声,周慕成一言不发,卫立道更是心里打鼓.

"Xia Hong, don't get out yet!"

陈道玄的声音在一位散修出声的万卒长耳边炸响.

Hearing words.

这位叫夏鸿的筑基中期修士脸色变得十分难看.

他硬着头皮站起身,拱手道:“统领大人,不知有何吩咐.”

"What are the instructions?"

陈道玄嗤笑一声,“你做的好事,还要我当众给你数落出来吗?”

Hearing this, Xia Hong's expression changed again.

他两手微微颤抖,眼中满是愤恨之色,颤声道:“还望统领大人明言.”

“贪污军费,按照广安府联军军法,该如何定罪?”

闻言,身负万卒长和督军之职的周慕成站起身,拱手道:“按照联军法度,贪墨军费者,按照贪墨军费的款额不同,处以不同的罪责.

贪污灵石十万以下者,革去军职,处以鞭烙之刑.

贪污灵石十万以上者,革去军职,处以阴钉锥骨之刑.

Those who embezzle more than one million spirit stones will be sentenced to death.”

Everyone finished listening.

陈道玄挥了挥手,朝殿外传音道:“抬进来吧!”

The next moment.

一队军卒,抬着十五只一人肩高的箱子,缓缓步入大殿.

“禀统领大人,这些都是从夏将军灵府中查出的灵石.”

Hearing words.

陈道玄点点头,淡然道:“知道了,你们下去吧.”

"Yes, Master Commander!"

目送军卒退去,陈道玄走到第一个箱子前,轻轻一挥手,箱子豁然洞开.

I saw a box of spirit stones filled with it.

"General Xia, what else do you have to say?"

"Framed, it must be framed."

夏鸿看到这一幕,双眼通红,仿佛要择人而噬,“一定是你,是你见招揽我不成,就使出这种肮脏手段栽赃于我.”
