I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

When Wang Chao began to concentrate on handling official business, some strange supernatural phenomena began to occur in many places in the territory of the Salvation Army.

As mentioned before, the energy in the territory of the People's Salvation Army is much greater than that in other places because of the spiritual power and national destiny.

Even before, it was twice as much as other places.

The result is that the spiritual power of those dead lives can remain longer.

Even if their bodies are not destroyed, these spiritual powers will remain attached to their bodies for one or two months.

Also, the dynasty is unable to collect souls from a distance, and the spiritual power generated by all living beings is sufficient for use.

In their view, the Ji family could become the most powerful merchant in the territory of the People's Salvation Army, which must be related to the top leaders of the People's Salvation Army.

As for things outside the territory, the dynasty doesn't care. If you can sell an ordinary porcelain bowl for hundreds of taels of silver, that's your own ability.

Even if they encounter special circumstances, they may actually exist for a long time.

Ten miles outside Yumen Pass, there is an extremely large burial pit.

This is simply incredible.

After the first businessman to try it out made huge profits.

Of course, because of the threat from the Salvation Army, these merchants are very honest in the Salvation Army's territory.

Nowadays, except for the Salvation Army and government officials, whoever meets the head of the Ji family, the old head of the Ji family, must be respectful and polite, right?

Or it may escape from the body and be eroded and assimilated by spiritual energy.

Naturally, they don’t know that these souls will not completely disappear for a long time afterwards.

Of course, his consciousness before death has already dissipated.

Therefore, after confirming that the People's Salvation Army would not attack them again and seeing the business prospects of the People's Salvation Army's territory, they immediately took advantage of the commercial vacuum in the People's Salvation Army's territory to seize the market.

In the territory of the Salvation Army, as long as the commercial taxes are paid reasonably and legally and the corresponding receipts are issued, one can move freely in the entire territory without being charged any other fees.

On the one hand, it can ensure the purchase of most people, and on the other hand, he is unwilling to let foreign merchants make a lot of money in the territory of the Salvation Army.

Moreover, trade between the East and the West would be cut off.

After all, today's spiritual power is still unable to spread to life and matter, unless the dynasty does it personally, such as granting heavenly status and magical powers.

About one or two miles away from the burial site, there is a road that leads directly to Yumen Pass.

In this regard, as long as they paid the corresponding customs duties, the Salvation Army would no longer bother them.

In addition, salt, iron, grain and other materials are not allowed to be sold outside.

A convoy of more than thirty people came slowly from the west.

What's more, the commercial taxes of the Salvation Army are not like those of other national forces, which may need to be paid again every time they go to a place.

Especially for those wealthy businessmen who had been purged before, there was an instinctive rejection and alienation, for fear of causing displeasure to the dynasty.

Therefore, when facing the Ji family, they would always treat them with courtesy.

But people outside don’t know all this?

After all, he couldn't run around the territory collecting souls.

We dare not pay less commercial taxes than we should, and we dare not do anything illegal.

They thought that such a business tycoon in the territory of the People's Salvation Army must have some connection with the top leaders of the People's Salvation Army.

If the items from the Western Regions are scarce in the Central Plains, they can also be sold at high prices to the people who have migrated to Yumen Pass or even in the Central Plains.

They were a caravan coming from the Western Regions.

And whenever he encounters a dead person, he will collect their souls immediately.

Once they were offended, wouldn't the Ji family instigate the Salvation Army to attack them? They naturally had to respond carefully and treat them warmly.

If their family background is coveted by the Salvation Army, their fate will probably not be good.

Once the Ji family leaves the territory of the People's Salvation Army, the protection brought by this misunderstanding will disappear in an instant.

Moreover, because the energy in the territory of the People's Salvation Army is three times more concentrated than in other places, even if this time cannot be extended by three times, it can still be supported for two to three months, or even three to four months.

Therefore, when they cleaned up the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen earlier, their properties were not confiscated and liquidated together. Instead, they simply forcibly purchased a large amount of their land at market price, leaving only their ancestral homes and the industrial mansions in Lintao Prefecture.

The Salvation Army was at odds with Turpan, but they did not prohibit merchants from there from entering the country. They only required them to pay customs taxes based on the goods they sold.

However, as people became richer and no longer had to worry about food and drink, gradually more and more people would do some small business in their spare time.

Moreover, they can buy porcelain, silk and other products from the Central Plains at cheaper prices in the mainland.

Therefore, he really had no idea that there was spiritual power in these corpses.

More and more merchants began to cross Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass to enter the inland areas.

Especially in Gongchang and Lintao Prefecture, the places first occupied by the Salvation Army, earth-shaking changes have taken place after more than a year of development.

Goods might only be sold for a few hundred coins at the border, but once they reach Jiayu Pass, or even places like Gongchang and Lintao Prefecture, they might be able to double in value, or even be sold at a high price of several taels of silver.

The bigger the business, the more distant they become.

Last year alone, they contributed nearly five million taels of tax silver to the People's Salvation Army.

Even if they are outside the territory, they have the identity of citizens of the Salvation Army territory. It cannot be guaranteed in places too far away, but Yang He and those volunteers in Shaanxi will at least give them some face.

Therefore, the dynasty did not care too much about the souls of these dead people in the past.

In fact, his Ji family really has nothing to do with the People's Salvation Army.

After the Salvation Army occupied Jiayuguan and reopened it, many merchants were already ready to move.

That was the place where the bodies of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers killed by Wang Dahu and his men were buried.

Especially with the influx of merchants from the Western Regions, trade between the two places became more prosperous.

More than twenty days have passed since then, and the body has been completely buried underground, but when you get close, you can still smell a faint smell of blood.

However, as time went on, and because the Salvation Army only collected customs duties once, some merchants began to try to cross the Yumen Pass and enter the Jiayu Pass after obtaining the consent of the Salvation Army.

If the land within the territory of the People's Salvation Army was not state-owned and could not be bought and sold privately, there would probably be many more large landowners within the territory of the People's Salvation Army by now.

Once these goods are shipped to the countries in the Western Regions, the profit will be at least ten times.

In addition, the countries in the Western Regions have gradually cut off ties with the Ming Dynasty, and the prices of these goods will inevitably be higher.

Sometimes when you have too much money, it becomes too hot to handle.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the territory of the Salvation Army has certain price limits for goods and tariffs are related to the profits of goods, they would even be able to sell some items at sky-high prices.

Here, as long as they pay taxes, they can move freely within the territory.

Today, officials and generals at all levels in the civil service are still very honest.

There are many people who have earned a lot of money.

The new and exotic goods from the Western Regions and other countries were quickly sold out by them at high prices.

Over time, the business in the two places flourished rapidly, and many people who seized the opportunity gradually developed into new big businessmen.

However, it was at this moment that the heaven and earth were promoted. Not only did the energy instantly become ten times denser, but even the spiritual power could exist for a long time.

Therefore, although the customs tax collected by the Salvation Army was a bit higher, it was not unacceptable.

It's nothing, just too much money.

However, at this time, Ji Mingyuan of the Ji family was in a state of anxiety.

Therefore, the business here began to develop rapidly, even though a large number of wealthy businessmen were cleared out at the beginning.

As for leaving the territory of the People's Salvation Army.

The reason why their family was able to develop so quickly was due to the strength of the Salvation Army and the relaxed business environment.

As for the Salvation Army, they are very law-abiding.

He laughed. That was because the benefits were not enough. If there really were benefits that he could not refuse, he believed that their Ji family would be wiped out in just one day.

Although the commercial taxes were a bit high, many items from the Central Plains could be sold at high prices in Turpan, as well as in Yarkand, Kazakhstan, and even the Western Regions further west.

After Wang Dahu captured Yumen Pass, Chijin Mongolian Guard and other places, some merchants began to try to contact the Salvation Army and wanted to trade with the people of Yumen Pass.

All that is left is a collection of spiritual power that possesses some memories of life.

If the situation continues to develop normally, after a month or two, these remaining spiritual powers will dissipate between heaven and earth.

Although the dynasty has stated that merchants have their own significance, many officials and generals are still reluctant to have too deep entanglements with them.

However, if they are willing to walk a little further and enter Jiayuguan, the benefits they can obtain will increase dramatically.

In fact, the reason why the Ji family's business has grown so big, in addition to Ji Mingyuan's excellent business acumen, is that they seized the commercial vacuum in the territory of the People's Salvation Army, which is why they have developed at an extraordinary speed.

In this way, their desire to consume will naturally increase greatly, and they will be able to buy slightly more expensive items after some hesitation.

If they only trade at the border, their profits will naturally be less.

In Turpan in the West, people are not treated as honored guests, but they are still warmly welcomed.

Thanks to the fact that the Salvation Army did not prohibit internal and external exchanges and commercial trade between the two sides, the East-West trade, which had been gradually cut off with the closure of Jiayuguan, gradually flourished again.

It became a huge commercial empire spanning the entire territory of the Salvation Army, and even extended to the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Even if they are directly exposed between heaven and earth, they can still exist for four or five days. And these spiritual power aggregates can probably only exist for one or two months if exposed between heaven and earth.

However, the most outstanding family among these businessmen is the Ji family from Lintao Prefecture.

Because the Ji family is a wealthy merchant family that has been passed down for generations, and because although they have not been a very kind family, they have not done anything very evil either.

Price limits on commodities and high tariffs were naturally proposed and implemented by the dynasty.

The only one who has deep connections with these wealthy businessmen is probably the newly established Commissioner of Taxation.

At least within the next three to five years, without the temptation of huge profits, they would not dare to break the law under the threat of the Salvation Army's cleansing of countless wealthy businessmen.

However, even with the price limit on goods, they can still earn far more money than at the border.

Therefore, although in the beginning, those merchants coming from the west only tried to trade at Yumen Pass.

Not only did every household have surplus food, but they also had a lot of spare money from selling grain.

Moreover, look at the current situation in the outside world. In the eastern part of Shaanxi, there are rebel armies rising up everywhere. Not to mention the west and the north, the various khanates and tribes are constantly fighting and conquering each other.

In the northeast, the Later Jin Dynasty was rising and constantly attacking and looting the border, and the eastern coast was also harassed by Japanese pirates.
