Rebirth Interstellar Peak Scenery

The driver this time was a serious person.

People who have something on their minds will feel very comfortable meeting such a driver.

So when the car took Lei Yundong to Fenggang City, Lei Yundong generously gave him 1 gold for the fare.

Only then did the driver say dryly: "Thank you."

It is already dusk now and it is also the rush hour for getting off work.

When the speed car entered the city, it attracted countless eyes.

These days, ordinary people don’t have the money to rent, let alone own, a flying car.

But there will naturally be no shortage of appearances in some advertisements, film and television dramas, and flying cars.

So everyone is just looking at it as a surprise, and they won’t lose their composure as if they discovered something shocking.

Lei Yundong also knew the mentality of these people, so he did not give them a chance to watch.

The chosen destination turned out to be the largest bank in Fenggang City. As soon as they left the speed car, they went straight into the bank.

If you want to distinguish the institutions of Daheng Dynasty, it is actually very simple.

For example, any institution with a modern name was formed by an alliance of gentry.

Any institution with an old-fashioned name is either an official institution, or it is not established by established aristocrats or established gentry.

For example, Lei Yundong has never explored who is behind the Sihai Bank in front of him.

But he had seen this bank all over the country, even in the capital.

So after discovering the existence of this bank on the map on his smartphone, Lei Yundong decided to come here without even thinking about it.

Lei Yundong, a familiar person, saved 600 Daheng liang, and only kept about 10 coins with him, and exchanged the rest for local currency.

In fact, it would be a huge loss to exchange Daheng Liang at a bank for local currency.

The official price is one Daheng tael for 10,000 local currency, but in fact, if you exchange it privately, you can get at least 15,000.

As for why not find a private exchange?

One is useless, and the other two may cause trouble.

Lei Yundong, who didn't care about money, or thought that he would not be short of money in the near future, naturally didn't bother to calculate the price difference of these three hundred Daheng liang.

With a turnover of less than a thousand coins, Daheng Liang will naturally not receive special treatment from Sihai Bank.

The reason why people can still receive guests at this dark hour is because Sihai Bank is open 24 hours a day.

So Lei Yundong subconsciously wanted to get a way to purchase machinery from the bank.

I was politely and indifferently declined by the clerk with the reason: "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Maybe you can go to an institution like a bank and inquire about it."

Lei Yundong just took two memory cards and left.

One is a Dahengliang memory card. As long as it is a commercial bank that has signed a commercial account with Sihai Bank, you can directly swipe the card for consumption.

Well, this thing is universal across the country and has no geographical restrictions. As long as there is a firm that has signed the contract and there is a Sihai Bank, you can use it.

To qualify for a commercial bank to swipe a card, you must at least deposit more than 10,000 taels in the name of the commercial bank at Sihai Bank before you can sign up for the service.

In other words, the "Lei's Trading Firm" that Lei Yundong just registered does not yet have this qualification.

One is Fenggang City’s currency card, which can be used by all banks and shops within Fenggang City’s sphere of influence.

That's right, even Sihai Bank can still swipe cards as long as it is within the sphere of influence of Fenggang City.

As for why it needs to be divided into two cards?

It’s not just that the local currency cannot be used in other regions, it must be exchanged through a specialized bank.

One might say, wouldn’t it be troublesome to have so many rules for a mere city’s currency?

Well, there is such a misunderstanding because they don't know how large the area controlled by an alliance of gentry is.

Let's put it this way, the land under the name of just one Lu family is almost 10,000 square kilometers.

Among the gentry within the sphere of influence of Fenggang City, the Lu family is only at the middle level, far from being at the top.

But when the gentry alliance was first formed, the small and medium gentry were worried that the big gentry would act recklessly. At the same time, the big gentry were also worried that if something happened, their family would collapse in the future and they would be beaten up.

Therefore, it was stipulated in a contract at the beginning of its establishment that all gentry within the sphere of influence were naturally members of the Management Council.

Members have the same authority, and all matters are voted on by one person, one vote.

The government naturally supports this kind of stability maintenance organization.

Maybe it was just acquiescence at first, but officials will become officials. When they return to their hometowns, they will directly become members of the local parliament and continue to have power.

This does not need to take a long time, it only needs officials to discover this interest and directly and publicly recognize the parliamentary system of the gentry alliance.

It even reached a point where the emperor couldn't even order the dissolution of these local councils.

Of course, the emperor and the court actually sided with the gentry because of their own attributes.

After all, the territory of the Daheng Dynasty was too vast and its governance was very difficult.

Since there are magistrates sent by the imperial court to control the planet, it is only natural that the vast tracts of wilderness below are left to the gentry to develop and manage.

After all, it has been like this for thousands of years. The gentry solved some minor disturbances by themselves. What's wrong with doing so with less worry and effort?

Therefore, because of the routine and inaction of the Da Heng Dynasty, there are still power structures such as the gentry alliance and local councils under the government.

The topic changed and returned to the issue of the gentry alliance being able to print its own currency.

There is no need to mention other confusing reasons. The main reason is that the territory of each gentry alliance is very, very vast.

For example, the Fenggang Alliance takes Fenggang City, a city by the sea, as its center point.

It radiates a thousand kilometers to the land, covering an area of ​​more than half a circle.

In other words, the sphere of influence of the Fenggang City Gentry Alliance is about 1.5 million square kilometers.

It is normal for such a vast land and a population of hundreds of millions to have its own currency system.

As for such an alliance of gentry, due to geographical issues and the factional issues behind them, there were at least ten in each county of the Great Heng Dynasty, that is, in the administrative stars.

These gentry alliances, despite having a county seat above them, were still under the rule of the Great Heng Dynasty.

But just like in ancient times, villages can have large-scale fights over water sources, resulting in heavy casualties.

Not to mention this alliance of gentry, which covers an area of ​​millions of square kilometers, has a population of hundreds of millions, and has incredibly rich interests.

There is no need to mention the dark methods of sending spies, plotting, and fanning the flames.

It is true that the conflict of interest cannot be alleviated, and it often happens that the two sides directly send troops, aircraft and warships to directly fight.

It’s not a lie. All gentlemen’s alliances have the kind of aircraft that can only fly within the atmosphere, the kind of warships that can only wander in the water, and other machine guns, cannons and missiles.

People who don't understand will definitely be shocked. Gentlemen can actually have an army? Or a modern army? Doesn't this allow rebellion?

Just kidding, there are only 5,000 county soldiers in charge of the county captain, but with the strength of these 5,000 people and their equipment, it will be difficult to directly destroy the gentry alliance around the world, but it is easy to destroy a gentry alliance.

This is also the reason why the Daheng Dynasty did not care at all about the development of the gentry below.

The difference in technological generation is here, and the difference in individual strength is here, so we are not afraid of them causing trouble.
