If the world is peaceful and prosperous at this time, and the Mozhu Mountain consortium can still maintain its existing trade routes, then the best investment direction is of course the prosperous and fertile Central Plains.

But since the world is in chaos and the Central Plains is impassable, investing in railways and developing Shiwandashan might not be an investment direction that responds to the sect's call and prepares for the future.

Moreover, Li Fan thought about it and felt that it could be done. Currently, Mozhushan itself does not have the funds to develop railways. Through a private joint venture between Tiangongfeng and a local consortium, it can save human and financial resources, and to a certain extent, appease those who have lost a lot of money due to recent strategies.

Local families, deepen the strategic ties between local families and sects.

So Li Fan went to Lou Guan Pagoda to jump in line, and had a push with the leader, and finally created the Mozhushan Railway Academy. He served as the director of the Railway Academy, and issued railway bonds in the name of the sect to raise funds from the society.

Tiangongfeng provided technical guidance, and the construction and operation of the railway were contracted to the local chamber of commerce in Mozhushan.

These chambers of commerce, led by local industrial and commercial leaders, established the Mozhushan Railway Construction Bank, which received capital injections from the Mozhushan Railway Institute, and the bank came forward to contract and bid for various projects.

Of course, the shareholders of this bank are originally a contractual business alliance formed by local merchants in Mozhushan. The railway business is digested internally by each company, covering a series of tasks ranging from road clearing, paving, construction of machine lanes, resource transportation, and commercial operations.

business.

As a result, foreign aristocratic chaebols can only purchase railway bonds from the Railway Institute and obtain regular investment income from the Railway Construction Bank, but they cannot directly interfere with the operations of the Railway Construction Bank.

The government railway was nominally purchased by the Mozhushan Government Railway Institute from the Railway Construction Bank, and it was an asset of Mozhushan. However, the project construction and operation were contracted to local commercial banks through bank guarantees.

In fact, the specific operation is much more complicated than what is said. Here is just a brief introduction to the general framework. The construction of government railways is indeed beneficial to all parties.

Needless to say, the local business group will point to this road to get rich in the future. Mozhu Mountain also needs people to help develop Shiwandashan. After all, the reward for destroying mountains and cutting down temples is the top of Shiwandashan, solitary mountains and wild ridges. No one has developed them and there are no camps.

If they accept it, the monks will definitely lack the interest in expanding their territory.

As for the investors headed by the eunuchs of Changsicheng, they are also very happy. The depreciating spare money in their hands has an investment direction with clear returns, and it is directly tied to the interests of the Marquis of Guannei. It is simply what they want. Although they must also be jealous of Shiwandashan.

The benefits of the new trade route have not been discussed yet. It will not be too late to worry about this when the railway is actually built. It will make a lot of money.

So the promotion of the whole thing was much simpler and faster than Li Fan imagined. It was even a little fanatical.

Because there are too many smart people in the world. Businessmen are not the only ones who can see the benefits of railways.

Monks, aristocratic families, self-employed people, refugees, when a group of people rushed to buy bonds, even ordinary civilians became commotion.

Oh my god! Which 250-dollar bank deposits money and returns interest? What? Come to develop the railway and directly pay for the railway bonds? Isn’t this a white wolf bullying honest people! Oh? Exchange money directly from the bank? What? Local

You can pay directly with bonds when buying things in the business district. You don’t need to carry a bunch of copper coins? What a shame! There are so many people rushing to buy it on the black market! So what else is there to say?

Build roads!

Therefore, not long after the establishment of the Mozhushan Railway Institute, an incredible amount of funds was gathered for Mozhushan, so that even if all the funds for the preliminary preparations such as the construction of the railway project, road construction, and vehicle construction were paid in full, there would still be Jinshan.

Mountains of silver are gathering in a steady stream.

After all, the road is built section by section. Even if there are immortals to help move mountains, it will not be completed in one breath.

Therefore, the spare money will depreciate if it is idle, but Mozhu Mountain is also in a state of war and is also short of money. Li Fan said that it is better for Mozhu Mountain to establish a bank or the like and issue special sect war bonds and sect construction bonds.

, the disciples of the sect practice investing in bonds, so that the spare money in the hands of the Railway Institute of our organization can be legitimately invested for the sect's use. Anyway, as long as the railway construction can be maintained and the investor's regular interest turnover can be borrowed, it will be fine

.

From the temple master to the deans of various departments and the mountain masters, they were all shocked by this gameplay!

Can a giant make money?

Li Fanhan alone, Mo Zhushan jumped directly from the small farmer economy with guaranteed harvests due to drought and floods to the bank, brokerage and capital market. This step is still a bit too big, and it is easy to get screwed. But there is no way, the opponent is too strong now, it is difficult to deal with, Mo Zhushan

If Zhushan doesn't rise violently, it will really be impossible to fight.

Sometimes it's like this. Even though you know that the fruit in front of you may be poisonous, you still have to take the risk and drink poison to quench your thirst. After all, this is what total war is like. Everyone is participating, and the winner gets it all.

Fortunately, the leaders of Mozhu Mountain are also smart. After all, the monks in this world are first tested on arithmetic. I have never seen it done like this before. Once you open your mind, you can quickly master these simple accounting methods.

.

So after referring to a lot of useful and useless suggestions from Li Fan, Guanzhu specially established the Zongmen Finance and Economics Institute to coordinate and manage the income, expenditure and borrowing of each institute. In the early stage, he first tested the waters through the railway bonds of the Railway Institute of the government, and imitated

The sect's construction bonds were issued, but the construction bonds were only issued in an internal digestion mode to the deans, peak masters, guardians of the Nascent Soul Realm, and disciples who had made great achievements in breaking the mountain.

For example, if Lu Qi conquers Fashuang Mountain, the land belongs to him, but he is just a dog and doesn’t have a dime. What should he do? He can apply for a construction loan from the sect, finance

The Academy will contact him to review and approve his development and construction plan for Fashuang Mountain. Of course, the main task is for the sect to help him plan and then issue internal sect bonds.

Li Fan, as the president of the railway, can take the bonds of the railway institute and exchange them for these construction bonds. He doesn't have to worry about what he does specifically.

In this way, Lu Qi can directly obtain railway bonds and obtain funds from the Railway Construction Bank.

Of course, Lu Qi wanted to use the Fashuang Mountain rewarded to him by the sect as a mortgage to give you construction funds. If you don't follow the plan and run out to live a life of debauchery by yourself, Fashuang will not be able to repay the bad debts when they are due.

The mountain will definitely be taken back.

Therefore, in order to develop Shiwandashan now, such approvals and loans must be very cautious. Not only the Academy of Finance and Economics, the Academy of Discipline, but also the temple owner will personally approve the purpose.

But think about it on the other hand, if a poor boy fights for his life with a dog, and the sect will really reward you with a mountain, lend you money to develop the territory, and help you find the first pot of gold, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

In short, Li Fan didn't care about the Finance and Economics Institute and the construction of bonds. He mainly dealt with the affairs of the Railway Institute. Although there was actually nothing serious to do.

Just ask the eunuchs for money, sign for the bank, and let the commercial bank take care of the rest.

Even among the Moshan people, Wang Zhi, who was rescued before, is no longer seeking life and death, and has become the leader of this group of Moshan people. This guy has really wide connections, and he seems to have a lot of connections with the Mozhushan people.

The salt merchants also

There was no problem in cooperating to run the railway project in Moshan territory. Li Fan only needed to draw a rough route and mountainous terrain for him. He organized manpower and took the people of Moshan to run the civil works with the people from the trading company.

.

Everyone’s subjective initiative is quite strong...

However, Li Fan also knew that the Railway Institute was still a very important department, and it involved such a huge amount of funds, technology, manpower, and material resources that it could not be left alone and allowed to be messed up by the chaebols. It had to be watched over by professionals.

Li Fan is also self-aware. He is the most professional only as a hands-off shopkeeper. For other things, he has to find others to help.

So Li Fan counted with his fingers and figured out where this person was.

"Hey, Yangsheng, why are you hiding in this ruined temple?"

Yang Si'an raised his head suddenly. He was overjoyed at first, and his face suddenly changed when he saw Li Fan's face clearly, "Oh, why is it you, the real person?"

Li Fan was speechless, "Hey! Why are you so disappointed when you see your old friend! Why are you so depressed, lying down and sleeping in the middle of the day? Didn't you say that you want to be successful, become a prince, and become a prime minister? Don't you study?"

Yangsi was unshaven and looked like a down-and-out beggar. He made a pile of straw on the floor behind the ruined temple gate, looking depressed.

Li Fan glanced at his breath, then looked at the box he placed on the straw pile as a pillow, and he understood it with his fingers.

"Why, you are going through a love disaster. You will die sooner or later because of this kind of thing."

Yang Sheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "What a mess. This neighborhood used to be my hometown. When I came back and took a look, I didn't expect that all the people in the village had moved away. I had nowhere to go for a while. I was dreaming at night and suddenly remembered that I was here nearby.

, and saw four treasures taking form.

I thought that they were all spiritual magic weapons, and maybe there was some way to help Xia'er recover, so I took her to find the gods from back then. In order to save me, Xia'er had to repay her after all my Dao foundations were destroyed and my spiritual consciousness was sealed.

Enqing. I thought just now that the god was waiting for me."

Li Fan was curious, "Why don't you just go to the Taifu?"

Yang Sheng laughed and said, "My dear, I'm just a scholar. I don't have the strength to tie a chicken. I can blend in with the crowd and escape from the country. I've gone through all kinds of hardships. How can I cross the battlefield of the Central Plains and run to Sanyuan?"

What's more, the scepter given by the imperial court has been broken, the official status has been destroyed, and the matter has not been completed. What face do I have to go to the Taifu's door to recommend myself? Anyway, the world is in chaos now, and there is no chance for my generation to become an official.

Let's help Xia'er recover first.

By the way, real man, it’s rare for us to get to know each other. Can you make some pancakes for me to eat? When I become rich and noble, my kindness will be repaid by springs.”

"You'll pay me back a hundred pancakes in the future, right?" Li Fan rolled his eyes, "Do you want to come work in Mozhu Mountain? I'll pay you more. If you make enough money, I'll hire a professional to give it to you.

Xia'er, please practice some practice."

Who would have thought that Yang Si'an shook his head and said, "Mozhu Mountain is surrounded on all sides and attacked by Hengshan Mountain and the Shen Cult from both sides. Sooner or later there will be a war. It is hard to predict the good or the bad. What's more, Li Hongxian and his son, who are now in power in the country, have different political views with me, so why not go there?"

If you don’t have a chance to get ahead, why bother to sacrifice yourself for five buckets of rice..."

Li Fan rolled his eyes and said, "I think you are smart but you are fooled by your cleverness. I ask you again, are you really determined not to come?"

Just as Yang Sheng was about to speak, his stomach growled, and he rolled his eyes.

"... It's just a rare encounter between a young student and a real person. It's rare for you to fly here in person to invite me to come out. As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant, so I will agree to be the teacher of the disciples of Mozhu Mountain."

Li Fan shrugged, "I'm not asking you to teach children how to read, and I'm not really... forget it, we'll talk about this later.

You just said that this is where you met the Immortal Fate, right? Well, I think so, so I'll help you get the Immortal Fate first."

Li Fan calculated with his hands, stepped on the seven stars, estimated the moon phase, looked for the star position, walked a few steps, drew symbols in the void with his fingers, raised his foot and stepped on the ground. He shouted, "Open!"

There was a soft crackling sound, and the floor tiles in front of the ruined temple split apart on both sides, revealing a lonely tomb.

"Huh? Sure enough, there is a destiny?"

Yang Sheng looked over from behind Li Fan and saw only an underground palace made of white jade. There were bursts of spiritual energy and numerous talismans inside, clearly indicating that it was an immortal cemetery.

"Let's go, your fairy fate." Li Fan casually unlocked the restraint and walked towards the tomb with his hands behind his back.

Yang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then went to pick up his precious box and follow him.

The seals and restrictions of this tomb have been released, not to mention that Li Fan is leading the way, so there is certainly no danger. As expected, they walked to the main hall of the tomb and saw a sitting tomb owner. This person was obviously Xuan Xuan.

The sect is authentic. Although he has been immortal for many years, his true energy is still gathered together, pure and flawless. The immortal bones all over his body are like mutton-fat white jade, shimmering with light. The immortal silk ribbon clothes on his body are also treasure clothes made of spiritual silk. There are a bunch of them in his hands.

The jade jade ornaments must have been collected over many generations, so naturally they are indispensable in front of them. There are also four Nascent Soul Realm magic weapons such as the ancient pestle, candlestick, bucket and broken panther, all of which are top-quality spiritual treasures.
