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..."

Wei Lidao felt the vague oppression of Chen Daoxuan, but he didn't dare to say what he said.

"Um."

Chen Daoxuan raised his eyelids slightly and smiled, "Since tomorrow is the day to pay military salaries, I have to say a few words.

Everyone knows that although our West Defense Zone has a military expenditure of 80 million spirit stones, this military expenditure seems to be a lot, but if you look closely, it doesn’t have much.

Buy magic weapons for military soldiers, cultivate spiritual veins, build fairy cities, and pay military salaries.

In this way, military spending is already tight, but in this case, there are people who dare to greed for military spending."

Chen Daoxuan's voice unknowingly aggravated a little.

"You said, can our West Defense Zone coalition forces tolerate this phenomenon, from the commander to the soldiers?"

Hearing words.

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

But everyone knows that since Chen Daoxuan said this, he must have to take action against someone.

Lei Zhen suddenly stood up and shouted: "All the soldiers of our West Defense Zone worked diligently in order to build the fairy city and patroll the entire West Defense Zone. They not only couldn't sleep at night, but even delayed their own practice.

That's it. There are such scum in our West Defense Zone. Who can tolerate it?"

"Yes! General Lei said it well!"

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

"right......"

“…”

Looking at everyone's echoes, Zhou Mucheng said nothing, and Wei Lidao felt even more upset.

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

Chen Daoxuan's voice exploded in the ears of a long-time monk who was making a noise.

Hearing words.

The mid-stage foundation-building monk named Xia Hong's face turned very ugly.

He stood up with a tough bullet and bowed, "Mr. Commander, I don't know what to order."

"What are the instructions?"

Chen Daoxuan sneered, "Do you still want me to criticize you for your good deeds in public?"

Hearing this, Xia Hong's expression changed again.

His hands trembled slightly, his eyes were full of resentment, and he said in a trembling voice: "I hope the commander will say it clearly."

"How should we convict the corruption of military expenditures be followed by the military law of the Guang'an Prefecture Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mucheng, who was responsible for the position of commander of ten thousand soldiers and the military commander, stood up and bowed: "According to the laws of the coalition forces, those who are greedy for the military expenditure will be punished with different amounts of the military expenditure.

Those who embezzle less than 100,000 spirit stones will be dismissed from their military posts and will be punished with whip.

Those who embezzle more than 100,000 spirit stones will be dismissed from military positions and will be punished with a yin nail and a cone bone.

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

Everyone finished listening.

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand and sent a voice to the outside of the hall, "Come in!"

The next moment.

A team of soldiers, carrying fifteen boxes that were shoulder-high, slowly walked into the hall.

"Report to the commander, these are all spirit stones found from General Xia's spiritual mansion."

Hearing words.

Chen Daoxuan nodded and said calmly: "I understand, you guys go down."

"Yes, Master Commander!"

Watching the soldiers retreat, Chen Daoxuan walked to the first box, waved his hand slightly, and the box suddenly opened.

I saw a box of spirit stones filled with it.

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

"Framed, it must be framed."

When Xia Hong saw this scene, his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat, "It must be you. When you saw that you couldn't recruit me, you used such dirty means to frame me."
