Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

When the richest core world of the true human empire is immersed in the senseless depletion of the inner battle of the court and the usurpation of Kwon, the seemingly insignificant, mild and harmless World Alliance of Commerce emerges quietly in the poor mountainous waters of the world outside the empire.

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

In the first 100,000 years of human civilization, from its birth to its growth, each of the great millennial worlds met essentially the conditions of self-sufficiency and independent operation, and any inhabitable planet had sufficient water, air, mineral resources and stable ecological circulation systems to sustain a minimum of internal circulation, even without external trade.

But from the end of the ancient world, to the ancient wars that swept the 3,000 world, to the rise and fall of the demonic tribe, and the “Battle of the End” of the Emperor and the Blood Divine Son, the wars of the Pangu universe have never really been extinguished for tens of thousands of years.

Wars have destroyed self-circulation systems in many thousands of worlds, the atmosphere has disappeared, mineral deposits have been emptied, groundwater has been contaminated, and all kinds of moderately domesticated spiritual beasts have mutated into fiercely vicious demonic beasts.

Not to mention, with advances in technology, humankind can conquer previously unconquerable resource planets and propagate planets to build large settlements that can accommodate millions and even more people where they are never fit for human existence.

As a result, in resource-poor stars on the periphery of the Empire, the vast majority of habitable planets have lost their ability to be fully self-sufficient, or have not been able to do so from the outset, and have to rely on riverine trade in the stars and seas to bring the resources necessary to survive.

As a result, the importance of star sea trade has been raised to the point where it cannot be added. Even many experts have pointed out that the future is not only the age of the Spiritual Network, but also the age of logistics networks, the age of "Million Stars Connection”. Whoever masters the trade between the habitable planets will firmly control the entire universe!

In the traditional essence of the Empire, trade routes are firmly controlled by the Quad and traditional officials and commerce.

But in the peripheral world, where resources are poor, far away and too much oil water cannot be squeezed out, it is very time consuming, energy and patience to build a complete logistics system, and to cultivate local markets to a profitable extent.

Having long been accustomed to relying on monopolies and taxes to make excessive profits, lazy to spend hundreds of years dealing with hillbillies, dirt packs in the peripheral world, various native small trading groups and logistics denominations emerged in a barbaric growth, self-destructive attitude, and after centuries of silent roots, weaved a seemingly uninspiring trade, logistics and even financial network in the peripheral world of the Empire, these scattered soldiers braved together and emerged in the name of the "Alliance of Merchants of the World".

The so-called Emperor Mountain Gao, the world outside the Empire, is a region of lawless chaos. The so-called Star Thieves, Merchants, Private Fleets and Regular Armies are all one thing. The World Chamber of Commerce can kill a bloody path in such a bloody jungle, naturally possess the boldest sailors and captains, the most sly black hearted merchants, and the most ruthless star thieves.

They have monopolized countless capillary-like business paths that can bring a planet constant resources and talent to flourish in a short period of time; they can also turn themselves into thieves, completely blocking all lanes of a planet to the outside world, and subjugating the planet to their horror.

Needless to say, as long as the warships under the Universal Chamber of Commerce detonate the clustering towers and telecommunications base stations around a planet and completely “cut off” the planet and the outside world, it can lead to the degradation of civilization on the planet for decades within a year and a half.

With such strength, the Universal Chamber of Commerce is naturally unwilling to wander around the periphery of the Empire as a supplier of hillbillies and dirt packs.

Moreover, the leaders of the Universal Chamber of Commerce are well aware that, in the eyes of the nobles who hold the power to kill and live in the empire, their businessmen are only pigs and dogs to be slaughtered, and the more obese they are, the more likely they are to slaughter.

In the past, the four large families have not seen the profit of world trade outside the Empire, so they are lazy to ignore them, but now they have worked hard to cultivate this market, look profitable, if the four large families do not come to pick peaches, what is the name of the fairy repair?

The first hand is strong, then the first hand is affected. The shortly after the birth of the Universal Chamber of Commerce realized by the instinct of survival, that to survive, you can only fight with the nobility, the financial valves and the luxury gate of the center of the star sea. Those who rely on traditional methods, simply brutally squeeze ordinary people, the "old fairies" with no technical content, will not stop fighting!

Free Star Coins, the sharpest weapon of their choosing.

They are going to wage a war, a monetary war that does not involve direct confrontation with armor, starships and giant warriors, but uses money to fight, killing people without blood!

While the Empire faced tremendous military pressure from the Alliance in the late ”Black Wind War", with soaring prices, malignant inflation and panic, the Universal Chamber of Commerce quietly paved the way for the “monetization” of free star coins in the outer world of the Empire.

At first, naturally no one would take free star coins for real money. No matter how inflationary, imperial crystal coins are “real money” after all. Who would trade real gold and silver for these... what the hell kind of free star coin?

Of course, the Universal Chamber of Commerce could not force the citizens of the peripheral world to use the free star coin, and at first they did not want the free star coin to replace the imperial crystal coin altogether. It merely stipulated that the traders under the flag could accept two modes of trading at the same time, but trading using the free star coin would give certain preferences, while some of the most attractive goods would be supplied preferentially to buyers using the free star coin.

This measure finally smashed the first little water flower.

But the real killer is still selling on credit and microcredit.

The World Alliance of Commerce is best at longline fishing, as exemplified by Ho Wing Ling's hometown, the Southern Ling Star.

First, with strong financial resources and deep unpredictable connections, buy potential asteroids for initial development, then by semi-sales and semi-sales, attract large numbers of propagators to settle. When settlements are almost built, the propagators also smash the coffin book, treat asteroids as new homes, when they cannot turn back, then use various consumables to earn back the money slowly.

In order to cultivate these "laying hens," throughout the process, the World Chambers of Commerce will provide extensive technical support, credit and even small loans to the pioneers on very attractive terms, only a little - the future must be repaid in free star coins.

Interest rates are discounted by using free star coins, and punitive fees are charged for using imperial crystal coins. Of course, the Universal Chamber of Commerce will solemnly guarantee the stability of free star coins and the exchange rate of imperial crystal coins will never fluctuate too much.

During the most devaluing period of the Imperial Crystal Coin, the World Alliance of Commerce even linked free star coins to essential items such as compressed air, water purification tablets, synthetic foods, and provided that a free star coin could be exchanged for constant water and food, known as “air coins”, “water purification coins” or even "canned meat coins”.

“Canned meat coin”, what an earthy name, if heard by the Empire's top economists who are rich in five cars and full of meridian, must laugh off big teeth.

However, what a fitting, commonly understood name that is heard by ordinary people with little culture in the world around the Empire - these free star coins are real money that can be used to exchange air, fresh water and canned meat for hope of survival!

These measures have secured the first real users and believers in addition to the star thieves, and have injected real credit into the free star coin.

Since then, the rise of the free star coin, like a snowball, has grown bigger and more irresistible, like a flood; when the empire has easily gasped from the economic crisis caused by the defeat of the black wind, the free star coin has spread around the periphery of the empire with its original power, and cannot be extinguished.

Moreover, even after the economic crisis, the battle between the Empire and the Alliance was not over. The army of the first 50 years ago, under the leadership of Lei Chenghu, actively defended itself. In the next 50 years, it was a “battle of revenge” to bite its teeth. The war machine “rumble” continued, and various kinds of harsh taxes and taxes were raised by water.

It wants to charge a dollar of war special tax, after layers of weighting, the bottom line dares to charge a dozen or twenty dollars, whether the original or the lower order fairy repair is difficult to escape - in these ghost years, ordinary people will not survive without tax evasion, the lower order fairy repair will not complete the original accumulation without tax evasion, accumulate enough resources to upgrade, and the only way to evade tax is to use the free star coin.

The heavy taxes on cow hair provide a "divine aid” to the free star coin, which is a boost to fuel and fuel the fire.

Of course, it is impossible not to use Imperial Crystal Coins at all, and the vast majority of transactions in daily life still depend on statutory currencies, but some insignificant key transactions have become areas of infiltration and erosion of free star coins.

Throughout the centuries, the free star coin was like the "good plague” that the vast majority of the people and low-order fairy cultivators have been happy to see, eroding the body of the empire. From the beginning, it circulated only on a small scale in the outer realm of the empire, gradually penetrating into the traditional core area of the empire, to the end, even the family of the four electorate emperors had many fairy cultivators, and used the free star coin in the dark —— where did everyone come out to cultivate fairies and not kill for treasure? After the murder, he took the treasure and sold it on the black market and traded it in Imperial Crystal Coins? That's not self-pitching!

Trading with free star coins, whether killing treasure, acting as an assassin, clandestinely purchasing a lot of resources to shock the new world, preparing to succeed and then killing the dead rivals in the family... the whole family will leave no trace, don't be too convenient!
