Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chapter 1121 Baptism

According to the intelligence collected by Li Guangzong, Bai Lang is currently in Anhui, probably active in the Liu'an area.

Zhao Chuanxin collected the teleportation array at his home in Hong Kong Island and reached Shanghai in an hour, going upstream along the Yangtze River.

Another hour later, Zhao Chuanxin arrived at Chizhou and turned north.

The fourth-generation dragon can theoretically reach a ground speed of 1800 km/h, but that is limited to the endless desert and ocean.

If the firepower was fully opened on the surface of the Yangtze River, even if the river was wide, Zhao Chuanxin could not guarantee that there would be no car accident. In the blink of an eye, the fourth generation of Youlong might rush out four or five hundred meters.

If your eyes itch, just rubbing them for a few moments can lead to tragedy.

Zhao Chuanxin wandered around everywhere, stopping from time to time, riding his electric scooter to find people to inquire about the situation, which was extremely time-consuming.

……

Yao Jia received a report on Lubinfu Bank compiled by the Economics Department of Lugang University.

At first he didn't take it seriously, but later he found it when he was flipping through official documents. After reading it, his brows furrowed.

The report claimed that since the change of dynasty, Lubinfu Bank has had many more high-net-worth depositors.

What does that mean?

Yao Jia asked the relevant personnel.

Only then did I understand that high net worth savers are the big depositors.

Ordinarily this is a good thing.

But Lubinfu Bank is positioned as a public bank.

Since the Railway Protection Movement, the Qing government and the foreign powers bullied the people. The common people and gentry ran on their banks and transferred their silver to the Lubinfu Bank, allowing the Lubinfu Bank to make a huge profit.

These depositors can be understood as small savers and the middle class.

The amount of money they had varied, but overall it wasn't a huge amount.

But since the fall of the Qing Dynasty until today, some real big families have gradually emerged.

Needless to say, Yao Jia also knew who these big players were.

Why does everyone hold on to their guns so tightly?

They are all super strong and born to love fighting?

Just because money is a by-product of power.

Why were these people willing to deposit their money in the banks of Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town?

Because of the previous bank runs by common people and gentry, many small foreign banks went bankrupt.

The newly emerging big households know how to make money, but they don’t understand economics.

They just saw: Wow, foreigners are also fucking unreliable.

Zhao Chuanxin is still reliable.

Although both sides are potential threats to each other.

But they are reasonable. Even if they are mortal enemies, they will not touch your assets.

The insurance purchased on the Titanic actually only covered lives.

The benefits of Zhao Chuanxin's self-restraint in recent years have become apparent.

Very high credit.

There are many depositors, especially high-net-worth depositors, which is a good thing.

However, once a run on the banks occurs like the one during the Railway Protection Movement, with a wave of large investors eager to get out, the consequences will be disastrous.

As Yao Jia read on, sweat began to form on his forehead. He hurriedly called Liu Baogui and asked him to find the student who had mailed the report to him.

It didn't take long for Liu Baogui to find someone for him.

During the call, Yao Jia asked the student, "You said that having too many high-net-worth depositors is not a good thing. How can this problem be solved?"

The students said: "First, to attract more mass depositors. Second, to reduce the interest rate to discourage high-net-worth depositors and make them withdraw part of their deposits in advance."

Yao Jia was dissatisfied: "Although I admire you, you speak better than you sing. The first method is what all banks want, but opportunities don't come often. The second method, isn't that just pushing the money out?"

"..." The student smiled awkwardly, "General Manager Yao, don't worry, really don't worry. Third, the war in the south has caused a temporary downturn in Internet companies. We can take advantage of this opportunity to launch some luxury products in Internet companies to consume the money of these high-net-worth depositors and balance the bank deposits in Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town."

Yao Jia's eyes lit up: "What do you mean? What should we do?"

The student scratched his head and said, "I don't know. General Manager Yao needs to ask the students in the Marketing Department of our university."

Among the people under Zhao Chuanxin who control the economic lifeline, there is no short-sighted or stingy one.

This is just a research activity of the Economics Department of Lugang University, but it has revealed many problems of the bank.

Yao Jia immediately said, "In any case, I will credit you for your contribution. I will transfer the consulting fee and make room for you in Lubin Mansion in advance. You are always welcome to join us."

The student was ecstatic: "Thank you, Director Yao..."

"Oh, why are you thanking me? I have plenty of opportunities to work like a slave."

"..."

……

After all, Bai Lang made quite a noise, and when Zhao Chuanxin found them, it was already dark.

Four generations of dragons are flying in the sky, and rainbow particles are swinging their colorful tails in the night.

A group of people looked up: "Look, what is that?"

"Oh, could it be a monster?"

In order to allow Xingyue to detect the number of people below, Zhao Chuanxin asked the fourth-generation Youlong to fly very low.

Xingyue told him: "There are forty battalions, each with five hundred men. I estimate that Bai Lang has twenty thousand men."

Sure enough, just as Zhao Chuanxin expected, Bai Lang was at his peak at this time.

The news of a UFO in the sky alarmed Bai Lang.

Bai Lang looked up at the sky, gripping his rifle tightly. He really wanted to shoot into the sky, but he didn't know what that thing was. He was worried about angering the UFO. What if it was a ghost, god, or something like that? He would be in trouble.

People at that time believed in supernatural powers without a doubt.

At this time, the colorful tail flame gradually disappeared, and a black shadow fell from the sky.

Old Man Song's lips trembled: "Marshal, what should we do?"

Bai Xiazi's hands and feet were shaking: "Marshal, why don't we run?"

Bai Lang didn't say anything. The black shadow fell directly in front of Bai Lang, and Bai Lang's palms were full of sweat.

Only then did everyone see clearly that there was a person in front of them.

Maybe it's a person, anyway he is in human form.

This person was actually wearing a suit.

"You..." Bai Lang's voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.

Obviously, he was extremely nervous.

Even though he was extremely brave and used to fighting, the way the man in front of him appeared was beyond common sense.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a cigarette and lit it, then asked calmly, "Are you Bai Lang?"

Bai Lang had a moustache, one of his lower teeth was missing, and his face was covered with pockmarks.

Seeing the person who dropped from the sky actually lighting a cigarette, Bai Lang's nervousness disappeared.

Gods and ghosts shouldn’t smoke, right?

Zhao Chuanxin added: "I am Zhao Chuanxin."

Now there's another kind of tension.

Zhao Chuanxin's voice was not loud, and only Bai Lang and the people around him could hear it. People in the distance did not understand what he meant.

A hint of excitement flashed across Bai Lang's face: "Governor Zhao, nice to meet you, Governor Zhao."

He bowed to Zhao Chuanxin.

In a way, Zhao Chuanxin is his idol and the person he wants to surpass.

Zhao Chuanxin said without further ado: "Yuan Weiting hates you to the core. He has dismissed Zhang Zhenfang and sent Duan Qirui, the most capable fighter at the moment, to deal with you. Wang Zhanyuan and Wang Ruxian have two divisions, Xu Zhanfeng and Tang Tianxi have two brigades, and tens of thousands of people will chase and intercept you. There are fleets on the rivers and planes in the sky."

After hearing this, Bai Lang and his direct descendants felt their scalps tingling.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "Besides those who hate you, there are also those who care about you. Huang Xing and the others begged me to save you. But I don't think you need me to save you."

Bai Lang was silent.

Song Lao Nian bowed and said, "General Zhao, our Marshal..."

Bai Lang kicked him in the calf without leaving any trace.

What it means is: Don't call yourself a marshal in front of Zhao Chuanxin, it's embarrassing.

But Mr. Song didn't understand and said, "Ahem, we have been invincible all the way. In my opinion, the Beiyang Army is nothing special."

Zhao Chuanxin did not comment: "I can't say for sure what the details are."

He roughly knew there was a person named Bai Lang, but he couldn't remember the details.

In any case, Bai Lang definitely failed in the end.

Otherwise, Yuan Weiting would not have been able to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, took out a copper eye pendant and handed it to Bai Lang: "If one day you are desperate, you can take this out and talk to it, and I will receive the message."

Others were jealous.

It is said that Zhao Chuanxin is not only good at fortune-telling, but also proficient in the magic of immortals. Now it turns out to be true.

Could this be the legendary magic weapon?

Bai Lang solemnly put away the bronze eye.

Then he bowed to the east and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."

He then bowed to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Thank you, Commander Zhao. However, Commander Zhao really shouldn't have come here at this time. There are so many people here, and the news might have been leaked."

What he was worried about was naturally that Yuan Weiting would find out that Zhao Chuanxin had been there.

Although Yuan Weiting could not mobilize the great god in front of him, after all, in name, Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town were both part of the country.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out: "Everything Zhao says and does should be shown to others. If anyone disobeys, just come and attack me."

What does it mean to be domineering.

That's it.

Bai Lang felt that he was inferior to the other person.

There is a gap, there is still a gap!

There is a term in Chinese folk art called - show your brand.

It means making your real name public.

Zhao Chuanxin dares to do it, but Bai Lang doesn't.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Bai Lang again and said, "I'm leaving now. May you all be content."

After saying that, he bent his knees slightly, and soared into the sky like a cannonball, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was shocked.

"Is this Governor Zhao a man or a god?"

"Blind man, you are not really blind, can't you see for yourself?"

Bai Lang smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I compare myself to Zhao the charcoal worker..."

In Liu'an, all the foreign houses were deserted, so Zhao Chuanxin just found one and moved in.

It’s no wonder they ran away. Bai Lang really didn’t tolerate foreigners. His behavior was quite similar to that of the Boxers back then. They burned down churches and looted everything.

I heard that a foreign doctor was shot dead by his soldier because he refused to treat his soldiers.

The embassies of various countries are trying their best to put pressure on Yuan Weiting to punish the murderer, Bai Lang.

So Yuan Weiting became more and more anxious.

If Duan Qirui still fails, Zhao Chuanxin believes that Yuan Weiting will resort to war and perhaps send a large army to encircle and suppress Bai Lang.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Chuanxin got up and rode on the fourth-generation dragon to fly diagonally to the southeast.

In less than an hour, we arrived at the border of Hangzhou.

At this time, the sky was bright.

Just when Zhao Chuanxin was about to land and eat some steamed buns, Xingyue suddenly said, "Hey, look at your one o'clock direction."

Zhao Chuanxin looked and found a silver metal ball moving at a constant speed in the air.

Zhao Chuanxin widened his eyes.

"Boiled!"

Without saying a word, he turned the fourth generation dragon and flew over.

Although the flying speed of the fourth-generation dragon is not fast, its turning and ascending and descending speeds far surpass all types of aircraft. It is estimated that only the drones of the future can be compared with it.

But when he flew towards the metal sphere, it suddenly turned around in an even more incredible way, at an incredibly fast speed, and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

"What is this?" Zhao Chuanxin asked Xingyue.
