I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 278: The Golden Thunder of Dou Mu Da Brahma

The essence of the Golden Toad God of Wealth's skills is still the essential gameplay of capital finance, and it is also a set of gameplay that uses the underlying logic of society to reap rewards.

First, only labor can create value, so the surplus value of labor must be exploited. For example, in a small peasant economy, men farm and women weave, and they can quickly support a family of several people, so that they will lose the desire to work.

Just like in ancient times, men hunted and women gathered wild fruits, and when they were full they made babies. If they had nothing to do, they would not take the initiative to look for something to do.

There must be external factors that cause survival pressure, which will increase their initiative.

The court's requirement for the people was that they should be able to survive but not eat too much, and that the value created by the nation's labor force should be enriched through tax policies.

In other words, everyone is on the verge of bankruptcy if they don’t work hard. At this time, they are given high-value loans to buy the goods they produce, and then they work for the goods for their whole lives… and then the goods are iterated at an accelerated pace, causing their value to continue to depreciate.

It's like whipping a donkey's butt, or turning a millstone with your eyes blindfolded.

It’s just that the small-scale rural economy, handicraft economy and production methods of this traditional agricultural country are still too backward.

Although many people instinctively oppose "land annexation", if land annexation is not completed, a large number of working population cannot be released, and they will be transformed from farmers into workers, that is, "proletarians". If they do not work, they will starve to death and can only work for others.

But farmers will definitely not give up their land. After all, land is a good asset that can be passed down from generation to generation...

This is the problem of land annexation at the end of dynasties in ancient China. The landless refugees were not transformed into the labor force, and the land was not annexed by state capital, and they did not receive corresponding taxes.

After harvesting the land, the big landlords did not capitalize and circulate the wealth in the market to complete the cycle. Instead, they cast the gold and silver into golden winter melons and silver winter melons and hid them in their own cellars.

The biggest reason for this is that productivity has not been innovated and has the limitations of the feudal dynasty...

Xu Jia instructed Jin Chan to annex the land. After the flood in Dexing, a large amount of land was depleted, and the farmers could not bear it. Instead of waiting for the landlords to complete the annexation at a low price when they were starving, it would be better for Jin Chan to complete the annexation at the market price, which would also allow them to have more money and food and reduce the difficulty of survival.

At the same time, Jin Chan also provided these people with a "work-for-relief" program, providing them with employment opportunities. For example, the huge project of Sanqing Palace was planned to cost four or five hundred thousand taels of silver... This would at least create jobs for tens of thousands of people and spawn related tourism industries.

For example, Xu Jia replanned the Dexing urban area and carried out reconstruction, which provided employment for a large number of workers.

At the same time, the development of the financial industry has made local landlords see the profitability. They invest the real money stored in their homes into the capital pool of Jin Chan, hoping to get bigger dividends. However, although they understand the rules, they are not as good as Jin Chan, who is a professional god of wealth. They want to make money from money and earn some profit, while Jin Chan wants to use financial leverage to leverage hundreds or thousands of times of funds.

At the same time, a large number of foreign businessmen were attracted to invest, which brought prosperity to the financial services industry. After all, rich people want the best of everything.

Some businessmen were keenly aware of the potential of the real estate market here, but Jin Chan had already purchased a large number of old and dilapidated houses in advance and had already started the construction of rebuilding them into Jiangnan garden-style mansions, which was a precise sickle to reap their wealth.

Some small merchants do not have much capital, and they come here to seek opportunities. It is not easy to come here, so they will take the initiative to look for suitable products to resell, driving the sales of surrounding specialties and obtaining local orders...

In this way, based on the best-selling products, Jinchan can invest further to expand them, and they will become high-quality assets, thereby attracting more people to invest.

This includes the wines produced by the Lanshihuo Winery, which has now become an industry. In particular, the medicinal wine brewed according to the aphrodisiac recipe for men given by Xu Jia has been sold as far as Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Including the several pill prescriptions that Xu Jia gave them, they are now very popular, which has led to the prosperity of the medicinal materials market. The drug dealers in Zhangshu smelled the opportunity and directly cooperated with Niu’s Pharmacy to become a "time-honored brand."

Behind the prosperity, there are actually hidden dangers, that is the Golden Toad itself. He has harvested the wealth of these people and is also their lifeline. Once something happens to him, or he is harvested by others, all the people will go bankrupt again...but it is the turn of the next person to play this game...The essence of the dynasty cycle is like this.

Therefore, Xu Jia believes that a superior "system" is actually more important, including the financial system and the political system. However, past experience has shown that any system has its limitations. You can raise certain questions and solve certain problems, but the problems will only increase until they cannot be blocked or repaired, and then the ship sinks.

Therefore, all Xu Jia could do was to knock on the golden toad every now and then to let it practice Shancai, because even Xu Jia could not easily stop the golden toad from playing this game, unless he found someone to take over and pass the parcel.

Fortunately, Jin Chan did not let Xu Jia down. He indeed took the path of turning evil into good, accumulating good fortune and good wishes, and filled up the nine treasuries one by one.

……

"My children, you are free now. You are no longer debt-ridden toads. You will be eligible to make your own investments and start your own business. I will invest a sum of money in you in exchange for 50% of your business profits..."

The golden toad said to the 7,200 little golden toads: "You only need to show me the financial report once a quarter so that I can have the right to supervise. I will not interfere with anything else..."

The little golden toads used to work for Duobao, but now they can be said to work for themselves, so of course they are very happy. But at this moment, the sky suddenly changed, the wind was howling, and the sand was blowing so hard that no one on the street could open their eyes.

The tiles on some houses' roofs were blown off, fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.

A Dharma image appeared in the dark clouds, as if the dark clouds had gathered together to form a god or demon.

Some people noticed something strange and knelt down to worship him: "The Thunder God has appeared!"

Xu Jia had noticed something early on in the Shanju Temple, but he did not plan to intervene too early. After all, the Golden Toad also needed experience, and the fragile capital that could not withstand the storm would eventually sink.

But this Taoist Feng Lei was causing trouble in his own territory without even paying homage to the embassy. This was too much, and Xu Jia would not tolerate him.

When it comes to fighting at the Earth Immortal level, it’s not like you chop me with a knife and I stab you with a sword.

The first essential principle in the fight between earthly immortals is "hiding". The physical body is the weakness of the earthly immortals. In comparison, their Yin spirits are more powerful and it is more difficult for them to communicate with the Dharma Realm and even the energy between heaven and earth.

The second step is to open the altar.

Taoist Yuan Wenying of Wind and Thunder has refined a set of portable Wind and Thunder altars. This altar is foldable and has a mechanism made by the most exquisite carpenter. It is made entirely of jujube wood that has been struck by lightning for three hundred years in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. After she refined it, it has become capable of making anything big or small as she wishes.

On the Wind and Thunder Altar, all kinds of magical instruments are available. This is the heritage of the Lishan School. With the Qinling Mountains at its back, there is no shortage of natural treasures. There are even special treasure hunters who go into the mountains to look for treasures.

This Wind and Thunder Altar, when unfolded, is a small altar city with three floors and four gates. There are Five Thunder Flags and a magic sword on the altar. The front of the magic sword shows the Big Dipper and the back shows the Southern Dipper. It is refined with water, fire and heavenly powers and prayed to with the power of Dou Mu. It is a family heirloom of the Wind and Thunder Sect of the Lishan School.

Yuan Wenying ascended the altar and performed a ritual to summon all the thunder generals enshrined by the Fenglei Sect. These thunder generals, each carrying a thunder tool, were twelve in total, with three of them, one main and two deputy, surrounding Yunkong.

When the flag is raised once, the wind blows; when it is raised twice, clouds gather; when it is raised three times, lightning and thunder roar.

Yuan Wenying also determined that the Golden Toad was an evil god who swallowed up the people's wealth to build his own foundation. He was a typical person who used public power for personal gain, borrowing one and taking ten in return, first giving a sweet treat and then setting a trap.

Turning evil money into legitimate money is like a gangster wanting to clean up his name and quit his crimes, but it is not that easy.

The golden toad looked embarrassed, looking at the turbulent wind and thunder in the sky. The terrifying power of heaven was suppressed, and the first thing it did was not to strike down, but to examine its conscience.

"Did I break the oath I made at the beginning, so I have to swear today?"

He had also heard Xu Jia say: Supernatural powers cannot defeat cause and effect. If the original oath was not kept, the thunder would naturally be a death calamity. If one has a clear conscience, then one is truly afraid of thunder and fire.

So he followed the little golden toads and said, "Hurry up and leave here. Don't worry about me. I will distribute the wealth to you. You must remember to give good fortune and do good deeds. Don't be rich and unkind. If I can't survive this disaster today, I won't bring you any trouble. I took the wrong path. If I can survive this disaster, it will also show you a direction."

Many debt ghosts were originally slaves of the Yin Demon, and later transferred to the Golden Toad. The little Golden Toad was created through the bumps on its back. It was specially refined by Xu Jia through water and fire. Even the debts were transferred to Xu Jia himself, who took on the debts for them. Only then could they not owe money during their lifetime and not be on debt after death. Instead, they served under the Golden Toad.

Now if the Golden Toad is gone, they will be scattered like monkeys when the tree falls, and they will not be able to achieve anything, so they all said, "Grandpa Golden Toad, we will not leave."

"Fool, my move is called early transfer to reduce risks. Even if I go bankrupt for a while, I can still make a comeback in the future. If you all die with me, then you will never be able to make a comeback. Everyone knows not to put all your eggs in one basket, let alone you."

The golden toad transferred most of the wealth and distributed it to the little golden toads, and then blew out a breath of qi to disperse them.

Just as the golden toad was dispersed, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

Taoist Fenglei pointed his sword to the sky, his expression was exactly the same as that of the demon god surrounded by dark clouds.

"The sky opened in Zi, the earth was created in Chou, and human beings were born in Yin. Mother of the Nine Stars, Lord of All Stars, I, the disciple, respectfully invite the innate Dou Mu Da Brahma Golden Thunder to exorcise evil and demons, avert disasters and relieve misfortunes. Hurry up and act as ordered!"

Thunder fell on the golden toad, and the plasma was like water, melting gold and breaking jade.
