The Fourth Financial Crisis

Haiya mercenaries can come and go freely. If you don't agree, you don't have to sign up to join the army.

Although the Haiya Chamber of Commerce has clearly put a price on human life, there is still an endless stream of mortals from Haiya City signing up to participate in the outlying island operation.

Even if you can only get 30% of your salary, you can still get a salary of 60 spiritual stone coins for participating in the outlying island operation, and you can also get food and accommodation included. From the perspective of ordinary mortals in Haiya City, this job is definitely a piece of cake. Pie.

A girl like Murong, who sells newspapers at the bottom, earns just over one spiritual stone coin per month. Even some soldiers of the Haiya Fleet do not plan to return alive, just to earn the 30% death pension.

Just by relying on "salary recovery" alone, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce can seize millions of spiritual stone coins in excess profits from the war on the outlying islands. If this mortal army is "unfortunately" wiped out, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce can even make money from military expenditures. A death pension of more than 2 million yuan, even drug trafficking is not as huge as the huge profits made by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce from drinking the blood of soldiers!

However, in a strict sense, this is not actually drinking the blood of soldiers, but more like the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and ordinary soldiers conspired to put the special funds of the Wuliang Sword Sect into their own pockets, successfully achieving a "win-win" between the grassroots and the top. ".

And this method of operation leaves no clues.

Not to mention that Mo Yunlan didn't know about this matter at all, it would be useless even if he knew what was going on here.

Although the Haiya Sect is a vassal sect of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and the Wuliang Sword Sect can even force the Haiya Sect and spit out all the profits it has taken, the key to the problem is, can you, Mo Yunlan, represent the Wuliang Sword Sect? ?

In this operation to support the outlying islands, the person who took the opportunity to make the most illegal money was none other than Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect!

Since Mo Yunlan couldn't even check the accounts of Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing, he couldn't be qualified to force the Haiya Department to pay.

Even if Mo Yunlan openly attacked the high-level meeting of Wuliang Sword Sect, Lin Jianxing could just say "If you can do it, go ahead, if you can't, don't force me", which would render Mo Yunlan speechless.

Mo Yunlan neither has the ability to bypass the Haiya Chamber of Commerce to get things done, nor does he have Lin Dong's trump card that can change the situation on the outlying islands, so he has no other choice but to acquiesce in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's misappropriation of public funds!

If the Haiya Chamber of Commerce is like this, it is conceivable that other forces will participate in the offshore operation.

This operation to support the outlying islands has failed to this extent. In the final analysis, the territory of Zhongzhou is too vast.

Even if there is the Heavenly Pledge to help cheat, no matter how much the Infinite Sword Sect pays attention to procedural justice, it still exceeds the limit of the management capabilities of the cultivation civilization if it wants to manage Zhongzhou like a modern country.

Even on Earth, modern countries that can effectively mobilize the country's resources only gradually entered the stage of history after the Thirty Years' War came to an end and the Treaty of Westphalia was officially signed.

Although the Haiya Sect is powerful and can be called the overlord, it is only one of the thousands of local cultivation forces in Zhongzhou.

Even if the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect have three heads and six arms, it is impossible for them to figure out all the bad things going on with the thousands of vassal forces in Zhongzhou.

There's no way the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect can't just keep an eye on the fleet and logistics in Haiya City every day without practicing!

If the Haiya Department and Duzhitang were still in the honeymoon period, the Haiya Department might still give Mo Yunlan some face. With the full assistance of the Haiya Department, this spoils-sharing feast would not be so rampant.

But now the two sides have completely fallen out because of the Tianshu City incident. Not to mention that the Haiya Department will no longer cooperate with the actions led by Du Zhitang. Even Lu Anping, the special trade representative of Du Zhidang, has been ignored by the Haiya Department. After the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce launched a backstab, Lu Anping has become an out-and-out polished commander, and it may take a long time to regain his power.

Precisely because local sects play a key role in connecting the past and the next, senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect such as Cheng Shuying and Mo Yunlan must win the support of enough local sects in order to have enough say within the Wuliang Sword Sect.

The relationship between the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect and the local forces is one of compromise and mutual use. The internal fighting among the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect has undoubtedly further weakened the authority and voice of the senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect in front of the local cultivation forces.

After listening to Han Fulai's introduction, Yang Lu asked abruptly: "Brother Han, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce sent someone over some time ago and said that they would adjust the purchase price of the 20,000 tons of japonica rice from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Now that I think about it, this batch of goods should also be shipped. Let’s go to the outlying islands…”

The ocean in Kyushu Cultivation World is very vast, even several times wider than the Pacific Ocean on Earth.

Although the speed of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's fleet is comparable to modern freighters, the cost of maintaining civilian fairy formations is not low. The long distance makes the cost of ocean trade remain high. Therefore, unless there is a major famine overseas, or to avoid traveling with empty warehouses on the return trip, The waste caused is that in most cases, interstate ocean-going merchant ships will not transport grain, a commodity with a low unit weight value.

Only the situation on outlying islands is special.

The land on the outlying islands is not suitable for farming, but it produces a large amount of cultivation materials that are not used by local mortals. In addition, the outlying islands are very close to Zhongzhou, and it only takes a few days to go back and forth. This makes the food trade on the outlying islands a profitable business. .

The Haiya Chamber of Commerce suddenly wanted to purchase a large amount of grain for shipment, and also asked the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to falsely report the price of this batch of grain. Yang Lu could easily imagine that this batch of grain was probably the public military ration provided by the Wuliang Sword Sect to support the outlying islands. The Haiya Chamber of Commerce specifically requested the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to cooperate in making false accounts, probably for the purpose of misappropriating public funds legally and compliantly!

As expected, Han Fulai chuckled and said: "That batch of grain is the business led by our Han family personally. The excess profit of a total of 100,000 yuan of spirit stone coins is also a big account for the operation to leave the island! Although we can only leave it to Qing Ning Chamber of Commerce will give you 5,000 yuan of spirit stone coins, but what is the relationship between us brothers? It’s not like we can’t make a secondary distribution in private..."

Yang Lu smiled half-heartedly and said, "What kind of secondary distribution method does Brother Han plan to use?"

Han Fulai's expression became slightly more serious and he said earnestly: "Brother Yang, when I tell you so many things, I treat you as one of my own. I believe that with your wisdom, you should know how to make a fortune in silence."

After saying that, Han Fulai took out two Lingshi coins and placed them on the tea table, then pushed them gently in the direction of Yang Lu.

Yang Lu casually glanced at the denomination——

Good guy, a full 20,000 yuan of spirit stone coins!

Although Yang Lu is currently talking about big business involving hundreds of thousands of spirit stone coins, 20,000 spirit stone coins is definitely not a small amount of money. Most monks in the Qi refining stage do not have this amount of money in their entire wealth.

Although the two sides were allies, Han Fulai had no obligation to give Yang Lu benefits for no reason. Yang Lu knew very well that Han Fulai was willing to share the benefits because the person standing behind him was Li Qingyang.

Although Miss Li Qingning boasts to everyone she meets that she founded the Qingning Chamber of Commerce from scratch and has zero capital other than ability, Li Qingyang's influence has already penetrated into all aspects of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Apart from anything else, if Yang Lu hadn't been able to directly report what happened on the outlying island to the top management of the Wuliang Sword Sect through Li Qingyang's channels, even if he had a clear understanding of the matter, there would be no need for Han Fu Lai to criticize him, let alone do anything. times allocated.
