As a time traveler in the 21st century, Chen Dexing naturally knew how important financial hegemony was to a colonial empire!

However, to establish financial hegemony, it is not as easy as opening a big money house.

First of all, you must have hegemony, and then financial hegemony! The Beiming has already initially met this condition. Although Beiming is currently only one of the top four on the East Asian continent, it is the most powerful country on the seas of East Asia and Southeast Asia!

Those dozens of gunboats alone are enough to defeat the navies of all other countries in the world except the Beiming.

Secondly, there must be an open international environment... If all countries close the door to the money houses in Beiming, there will be no financial hegemony. This point will be basically solved after the Putuo Mountain defense.

Although the envoys, charlatans and arms dealers sent to various countries have not sent back the news, the result is definitely optimistic. H medicine weapons can definitely help Beiming open the doors of various countries, and then the charlatans of the Tiandaoism can enter. One hand, the bombs and the scriptures in the other hand, begin to spread the truth of the Tiandao truth! The king who believes can buy bombs, and those who don’t believe it will wait to be killed by other people’s bombs!

Third, of course, is the huge market demand for capital! This also exists and can be created.

On the one hand, the sea trade in East Asia was very prosperous in this era. The annual import and export scale of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly huge, with merchants from all over the country gathering in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Changfeng Wenmingzhou. Large-scale import and export trade will naturally generate the demand for funds. Borrowing related to sea trade is very common in the southeast coast of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the rich and sensible kings in the Nanfan will soon borrow money all over the world because it is very expensive to fight with expensive H-drug weapons!

Fourth, of course, there is a financial center city! The Mingdu Mansion in Liaodong is definitely not suitable for a financial center. It is too remote and there are too few merchants coming and going, and it is far away from the economic center of Jiangnan.

Setting the financial center on the territory of the Song Dynasty did not look very safe. So Chen Dexing never wanted to get involved in the financial industry until he grabbed the Zhoushan Islands!

"Zhoushan is close to the south of the Yangtze River. It is the hub of trade between Song and Gao and Song dynasties, not far from Quanzhou and the Yangtze River Estuary. There are many merchants coming and going, which is really the ideal place for developing the money industry."

Chen Dexing's fingers seemed to knock on the table unconsciously and said to his father: "I'm going to get involved in the money industry recently and open a big money shop called Tiandao Village!"

"Tiandaozhuang? How do you have the same name as Tiandao Sect?"

Chen Dexing said: "Because the capital needs to be paid by the Tiandao Sect! The Tiandao Sect will soon have a lot of indulgent and oil money, and will not be used to buy land, so they will use it to open a money shop... In the future, any place where there is a Tiandao Sect Taoist temple will open a Tiandao Sect next to it."

"Oh. So that's it." Chen Huaiqing did not find it strange, because many temples and Taoist temples at this time had loans and loans and accepted deposits, but they did not do foreign exchange and issued notes. The level of the abbots' bankers was limited.

"Is the management of Tiandaozhuang the Taoist sect responsible for the management?" Chen Huaiqing asked again.

"I will ask the shopkeeper to run it," said Chen Dexing. "I will go back to discuss with the Huang family and the Shen family. They are familiar with this matter. My idea is that the transactions that Tiandaozhuang needs to do include flying money (referring to exchange), deposit money, borrowing, exchange, and minting money..."

"Don't you pay paper money?"

"Not sending it for the time being..."

Chen Dexing thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively, saying: "The banknote brand has ruined Huizi. Don't use this brain until the reputation of Tiandaozhuang is established.

In addition, Tiandaozhuang mainly does business with large households. It includes maritime merchants, merchants, kings and powerful people from all over the southeast and various countries. It accepts their deposits and remittances, and can also lend them money."

"A king, the powerful should also borrow money?"

"Of course. They will soon be in debt!" Chen Dexing smiled proudly, "I will lend them money to buy Tianlei and weapons to fight. I can also send officers to teach them about war... As long as they are willing to believe in making Tiandao Cult a national religion!"

"National religion? Is it really useful?" Chen Huaiqing is skeptical. Chinese people do not believe in religion very much, even if Chen Dexing is successful in pretending to be a god, a Confucian scholar like Chen Huaiqing who has received traditional education will not believe that the Ming king came to the world.

Therefore, most Chinese people also take it for granted that religion is an irrelevant thing, and establishing the state religion makes them a little disgusted with this religion, and it seems that it is better to be free.

It’s just that the Chinese people let other people’s religions be free on their own territory, but others don’t let your Confucius and Mencius do their own territory!

"It's useful! It's so useful!"

Chen Dexing looked up at Chen Huaiqing and smiled and said, "Sir, there are no Confucian scholars in the southern countries except Annan. They all take monks as their teachers! Monks are equivalent to Confucians. Their kings and powerful people require learning to learn from Buddhist monks or Brahmin monks from India! If they define the Taoism of Heaven as the state religion, then they will have to learn whatever I ask them to learn!"

"What do you want them to learn?"

"Of course, learn Chinese, use the surnames, give Chinese names, wear Hanfu, practice the three-character classics, hundreds of family surnames, thousands of characters, children's prodigy, and some of the Analects of Confucius..."

After all, Tiandaoism is a newly opened teaching, and there is not so much of its own. It is normal to introduce Confucian textbooks, otherwise what should I teach in Chinese?

"They are willing?" Chen Huaiqing shook his head repeatedly, "Even Khitan, Jurchen, and Dangxiang must establish their own writing. How can such wild barbarians respect the king's transformation?"

"It's the national religion!" Chen Dexing smiled, "Their wild barbarians do not have so many scruples. They are more realistic. The national religion is to believe in it, and anyone who doesn't believe it will be beaten to death!"

Beat to death? Chen Huaiqing looked at the head of a cult with cold sweat on his forehead.

Seeing my father's eyes, Chen Dexing smacked his lips, "...Nanfan, Japan, and other territory we can take over and control, the Tiandaoism must become the national religion! Only in this way can we drive away the sects that are not conducive to me, beat them to death if they are not obedient, and educate them more obediently, and then the Xia monarch and the people will be barred!"

Chen Dexing didn’t know how the people of Zhou dealt with the traditional religions and cultures on the land of the barbarians at that time? It is estimated that they are unlikely to have freedom! Most of the time Chen Dexing is doing now...

"I won't talk about this..." Chen Dexing was not interested in quarreling with his father. Anyway, he was not optimistic about the profound Chinese culture, Buddhism, Brahmanism, Greenism, and Christianity fighting outside the Han area.

Chen Dexing said: "Don't ask about the affairs of Tiandaoism. Just do the things about Taiwan and the money shop street in Shenjiamen."

"Money House Street?"

"Yes! Go to Shenjiamen Port to find a piece of land and build a spacious street. The Tiandao Sect Branch and Tiandao Village in Taiwan are all built there. The remaining land will be given to other money houses. In the future, the entire street will be money houses!"

Chen Dexing actually didn't know how to build a financial center, but he only knew that the financial centers in later generations were crowded with financial institutions. So he just copied it and built a street of money houses with crowded money houses.

"In addition, the Taiwan government must organize parliamentary elections as soon as possible."

Chen Dexing continued: "When the Nanyang Fleet's 3,000 Lords will be transferred to the Nanyang Fleet, the election will be held... The Taiwan Prefecture Council, Penghu County Council, Changguo County Council, Shenjiamen City Council and Tamsui City Council. I will be appointed by the magistrate of Changguo and Shenjiamen City, and the parliament will be passed. For the construction of the money shop street, please discuss with Shenjiamen City."

"City" is the latest administrative district name that appeared in Beiming. In fact, it is to separate large commercial ports from counties and establish "cities" separately. It is not the same as the city in later generations that governs Luogan County.

The elections of Taiwan Prefecture, County and City Council are of course under the control of Chen Dexing. Because not everyone has the right to vote, only lords and gentry naturalized to Taiwan Prefecture can vote or run for election.

Moreover, Chen Dexing also controls the revival society that may be the only political party in this era! Naturally, he must also participate in the election. If nothing unexpected happens, the revival society will firmly control the parliamentary at all levels of Taiwan, county and city.

At the end of the conversation, Chen Dexing took care of him: "In addition, if you want to find a piece of land on Zhoushan to build a village, I will come this winter... This year, next year, and maybe the next winter, I will come to Zhoushan. Changguo is my winter capital in Beiming!"

Chen Huaiqing sat upright in the chair, his body was still moving, but his palm subconsciously held the jade pendant. He knew what Chen Dexing said that he would come to Zhoushan next year and the next year... That means the fastest year after year, and the latest year after year, Jiangnan will be the world of the Chen family!

Before that, Chen Dexing had to completely defeat the four Mongolian host kings who controlled Liaozhong, western Liao and northern Liao.

"It will take two years to defeat the four host kings?" Chen Huaiqing seemed a little anxious.

"Two years are not necessarily enough," Chen Dexing explained. "The Mongols' habits are nomadic, and their country can move. If the situation is unfavorable, the four Ulus will go west. With two years of repeated competition, if they cannot completely defeat them, they should be able to drive them away and add tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers. In this way, the security of Liaodong will be guaranteed and I can concentrate my efforts on Jiangnan."

Chen Huaiqing said: "Then when are you going to leave?"

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "When I see Wen Tianxiang and the others away, I will set off for Liaodong... This autumn, I will send troops to Liaoxi and Liaozhong!"

Chen Huaiqing looked at Chen Dexing for a long time, and then said, "I really want to go with you for my father. I will drive 100,000 cavalry across the border and directly attack Huanglong, and fulfill the last wish of Duke Wu Mu. This will last forever!"
