40,000 Years of Cultivation

When the richest core world of the true human empire was immersed in the unnecessary consumption of court battles and the usurpation of the powers, the seemingly insignificant, gentle and harmless Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance also quietly emerged in the poor mountains and waters of the outer world of the empire.

The pattern of the Pangu universe at this moment is completely different from the previous 100,000 years.

In the first 100,000 years from the birth to growth of human civilization, every large world basically satisfies the conditions of self-sufficiency and independent operation. On any habitable planet, there are sufficient water, air, mineral resources and a stable ecological cycle. The system, even if it does not trade with the outside world, can maintain a minimum internal circulation.

However, from the end of the ancient world, the ancient war of war that swept the three thousand worlds, to the rise and decline of the monster race, and the "doomsday war" between the emperor and the blood **** son, for thousands of years, the war in the Pangu universe has never been true. Extinguished.

The war has destroyed the self-circulation system of many large worlds, the atmosphere has disappeared, the mineral deposits have been hollowed out, the groundwater has been polluted, and various gentle and domesticated spirit beasts have mutated into vicious beasts.

Not to mention, with the advancement of technology, humans can conquer resource planets and colonize planets that were previously unconquerable, and build large-scale settlements that can accommodate millions of people or more in places that are absolutely unsuitable for human survival.

As a result, in the resource-poor star regions outside the empire, most of the habitable planets have lost the ability to be completely self-sufficient, or have no such ability from the beginning. They must rely on the endless star-sea trade to bring what is necessary for survival. All resources are needed to survive.

As a result, the importance of Xinghai Trade has been elevated to a level that cannot be added. Many experts even pointed out that the future is not only the era of Lingwang, but also the era of logistics networks, the era of "Wanxing Internet", who will control After the trade between habitable planets, whoever has firm control of the entire universe!

In the traditional elite area of ​​the empire, the trade channel was firmly controlled by the four major families and traditional officials and merchants.

However, in the outer world where resources are poor, far away, and too much oil and water cannot be squeezed out, it takes time, energy and patience to build a complete logistics system from scratch and cultivate the local market to a profitable level. The water mill time.

The four big families, who have long been accustomed to relying on monopoly and taxation to obtain excess profits, are too lazy to spend hundreds of years dealing with the hillbillies and local buns in the outer world. Various native small trading groups and logistics sects have grown savagely and fought for themselves. The posture came into being, and after hundreds of years of silent rooting and sprout, a seemingly inconspicuous but impervious trade, logistics and even financial network was woven in the outer world of the empire. After that, these stragglers gathered together. , In the name of "Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance", surfaced.

As the saying goes that the emperor is far away, the outer world of the empire is a lawless and chaotic star field. The so-called star thief, merchant, private fleet and regular army are all the same thing. The Union of Ten Thousand Realms can kill one in such a **** jungle. The **** road naturally has the boldest sailors and captains, the most treacherous and cunning black-hearted merchants, and the most cruel star thief talents.

They have monopolized countless capillary-like trade routes, which can bring a continuous source of resources and talents to a planet, so that the planet can thrive in a short period of time; it can also be transformed into a star thief and completely blocked. All the channels of a planet to the outside world make this planet obediently succumb to their lust.

Among other things, as long as the warships under the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance blast all the spirit gathering towers and remote communication base stations around a planet, and make the planet and the outside world completely "disconnected", it can lead to the level of civilization on the planet. , Within a year and a half, it has degraded for decades.

With such strength, the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant League is naturally unwilling to just wander around the periphery of the empire and become a supplier to the hillbillies and local buns.

What's more, the leaders of the Ten Thousand Realms Business League also knew very well that in the eyes of the nobles at the top of the empire, these merchants were just pigs and dogs to be slaughtered. The more fat they were, the more it was time for them to be slaughtered.

In the past, the four big families hadn't seen the profits of the world trade in the periphery of the empire, so they didn't bother to pay attention to them, but now they have worked so hard to cultivate this market. Seeing that it is profitable, if the four big families don't come to pick peaches, it will be fine. What is the cultivator?

The first strike is strong, and then the strike suffers. The newly born Ten Thousand Realms Business League realized with the instinct for survival that if you want to survive, you can only fight with the powerful, chaebols and wealthy of Xinghai Central. Those who rely on traditional methods are simple and rude. The "old cultivators" who squeeze ordinary people and have no technical content, fight endlessly!

Free Star Coin is the sharpest weapon they have chosen.

They want to start a war, a currency war that does not use crystal armor, starships and giant soldiers to fight directly, but uses money to fight, killing people without seeing blood!

Taking advantage of the later period of the "Black Wind War", the empire was facing tremendous military pressure from the Holy League, with soaring prices, hyperinflation, panic, and no time for other people to take advantage of it, the Ten Thousand Realms Commercial League quietly rolled out Free Star Coins in the outer world of the empire. The road to "monetization".

In the beginning, naturally no one would treat Free Star Coins as real money. No matter how inflation, Empire Coins are "real money" after all. When the empire hasn't really changed its dynasty, who will take real gold? Silver to exchange these...what the **** of Freedom Ghost Coin?

Of course, the Ten Thousand Realms Commercial League cannot force the citizens of the Empire in the outer world to use Freedom Star Coins. At the beginning, they did not intend to use Freedom Star Coins to completely replace the Empire Crystal Coins. They only stipulated that each of its business companies can accept two trading methods at the same time, but use freedom. Starcoins will be used to trade, and certain discounts will be given, and some of the most in-demand goods will be given priority to buyers who use Free Starcoins.

This measure finally produced the first small splash.

But the real killer is credit sales and small loans.

The Wanjie Business League is best at long-term fishing for big fish. Huo Dongling’s hometown "Nanling Star" is the best example.

First, with strong financial resources and unfathomable contacts, we will buy potential asteroids for preliminary development, and then attract a large number of colonists to settle down by half-sale and half-free. When the settlements are almost constructed, colonization The author also smashed the coffin and regarded the asteroid as his new hometown. When he couldn't go back, he used various consumables to slowly earn money back.

In order to cultivate these "old hens who can lay eggs", during the entire colonization process, the Wanjie Commercial League will provide colonists with a large amount of technical support, credit sales magic weapons and even small loans. The conditions are very attractive, but there is only one point-the future must be free Star coins come to pay the bill.

Using Free Star Coins to repay money can get a discount on interest rates, while using Empire Coins to repay money requires a punitive handling fee. Of course, the World Trade Alliance will solemnly guarantee the stability of Free Star Coins and Empire Coins. The exchange rate fluctuation will never be too great.

During the period when the imperial coin depreciated the most severely, the World Trade Union even linked the Freedom Star coin to essential materials such as compressed air, water purification tablets, and synthetic food, and stipulated that a free star coin could be exchanged for constant water and food. , So-called "air coin", "water purification coin" and even "canned meat coin".

"Canned meat coins", what a rustic name, if it is heard by those economists who are rich in learning and rich in economics from the top of the empire, they will definitely laugh out of their teeth.

However, ordinary people with no culture in the outer world of the empire heard what an appropriate and easy-to-understand name. These free stars are real money that can be exchanged for air, water, and canned meat. Hope of survival!

These measures have won the first batch of real users and believers for Free Star Coin besides Star Pirates, and also injected real credit into Free Star Coin.

Since then, the rise of Freedom Stars has become bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it has become out of control like a flood; when the empire was finally able to breathe from the economic crisis caused by the defeat of the black wind, Freedom Stars was already on the periphery of the empire. It spreads with the momentum of a prairie prairie, and it can't be extinguished.

What's more, even after the economic crisis, the battle between the empire and the Holy League has not ended. The first fifty frontline troops were actively defending under the leadership of Lei Chenghu, but in the next fifty years, they gritted their teeth to fight a "revenge war". "The war machine "rumbles" continuously, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies are rising.

The above wants to collect a special war tax of one dollar. After layers of increase, you dare to collect more than ten or twenty yuan when you reach the bottom. Both primitive people and low-level cultivators are inevitable-these ghost years, ordinary people don’t. If you evade taxes, don’t think about living well. If you don’t evade taxes, you don’t want to complete the primitive accumulation and accumulate enough resources to upgrade. The only way to evade taxes is to use Free Star Coins.

Excessive taxes and levies have provided Liberty Star Coin with a "God Assist", which is simply adding fuel to the flames and adding fuel to the fire.

Of course, it is impossible not to use Imperial Coins at all. Most of the daily transactions still rely on legal tender to complete, but some ulterior key transactions have become areas of penetration and erosion of Free Star Coins.

For a whole hundred years, Freedom Starcoins have been like the "good plague" that most people and low-level immortals love to hear, eroding the body of the empire. From the beginning, it only circulated in a small area around the empire's outer world, and gradually penetrated into the traditional core of the empire. In the area, in the end, even the four major electors’ families have many immortal cultivators who secretly use Freedom Star Coins-everyone comes out to cultivate immortals, how can they not kill people and win treasure? Could it be that after killing people and stealing treasures, they were sold on the black market and traded with Imperial Coins? That's not a self-inflicted snare!

Trade with Free Star Coins, whether you kill people to win treasures, act as an assassin to get bounty, secretly purchase a lot of resources to hit a new realm, and prepare to kill the enemy in the family after success... All will not leave a trace, don’t be too convenient. !
