    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 60

    Chen Ziang and Shen Bin hit it off immediately, and after intensive preparations, the Far East Commercial Bank was formally established.

    Shen Bin is a wealthy businessman in Qinghe Province, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. Although most of it was destroyed by the war, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

    The one million gold coins that Shen Bin dug out from the ground of their mansion became the start-up capital of the Far East Commercial Bank.

    As one of the major shareholders of Far East Commercial Bank, Chen Zi'ang is very poor now, so he contributes directly.

    Now their supplies and soldiers are all idle, so Chen Ziang selected more than a thousand people and directly assigned them to the Far East Commercial Bank.

    These heavy soldiers were originally the families of the soldiers, old and weak women and children who could not go to the battlefield.

    Now they are assigned to the Far East Commercial Bank. On the one hand, they quickly satisfied the shortage of staff in the commercial bank, and at the same time solved their livelihood.

    Because every month from now on, the Far East Commercial Bank will pay them wages instead of Chen Zi'ang's 9th Battalion.

    In other words, these people have directly converted from the status of supply soldiers to employees of commercial firms.

    Shen Bin is an old fried dough stick who has been in business for many years, otherwise he would not have accumulated so much wealth and become one of the richest people in the province.

    Under Shen Bin's busy work, the skeleton of the Far East Commercial Bank was quickly built.

    It turned out that the shopkeepers of the various shops under Shen Bin's command were also summoned to his command again by him.

    Although the purpose of establishing the Far East Commercial Bank is very simple, that is, Chen Ziang hopes that through the commercial bank, he can continuously make money and then subsidize the expenses of the 9th Battalion.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang desperately hoped that the Far East Trading Company would be able to operate, so he didn't care about training soldiers, but was busy with the business of the trading company.

    Chen Ziang stayed up all night to personally design a set of military uniforms for the Qinghe Army, mainly in black, and at the same time set up pockets for things, which are simple and practical.

    Now that their Qinghe army is poor, they naturally don't have the ability to manufacture standard armor, but military uniforms can be produced.

    Chen Ziang directly handed over the Qinghe army uniform he designed to Shen Bin the next day, and asked him to send someone to sew it immediately to see the effect.

    Far East Commercial Bank now has more than a thousand old and weak employees, many of whom are hardworking women, so needlework is naturally not a problem.

    At the same time, Shen Bin used to run a lot of cloth shops, tailoring and everything.

    After only half a day's work, the first uniform of the Qinghe Army designed by Chen Ziang was finished.

    Chen Ziang also became the first person to eat crabs. He changed into this set of black military uniform designed by himself, which represented iron blood and ruthlessness.

    The black military uniform has changed from the loose style of the dynasty army, but is designed to be tough and close-fitting, and it also has small pockets for things.

    Chen Ziang put on a black military uniform. The close-fitting military uniform set off Chen Ziang's tall and straight body, and his whole temperament became different.

    Stepping on the saber, Chen Ziang looked much more energetic, with a sharp killing spirit all over his body.

    "The military uniform designed by General Chen is simple and practical. Wearing it makes people feel much more energetic. General Chen is not only brave and invincible on the battlefield, but also has great tailoring skills. It is really impressive."

    Seeing Chen Zi'ang's energetic appearance in a black military uniform, Shen Xiuxiu, who brought the clothes from the side, couldn't help but praise him.

    After being praised by the beautiful woman, Chen Ziang showed a smug expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Where is this? I will design more beautiful clothes in the future."

    Seeing Chen Ziang's proud self-promotion, Shen Xiuxiu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

    "That's it. The cuffs should be made smaller. There are no other problems. Our 9th Battalion will order 5,000 sets of these uniforms first."

    After Chen Zi'ang personally tried on the military uniform he designed, it can be said that he was quite satisfied, and immediately asked the Far East Commercial Bank to immediately organize the production of such military uniforms.

    After the establishment of the Far East Commercial Bank, the first order came, and Shen Bin naturally did not dare to neglect it. After all, Chen Ziang really gave the money.

    Although Chen Zi'ang also occupied a certain share in the Far East Commercial Bank, he did not abolish his public service for personal reasons, and still asked Yang Zhong, the general manager in charge of logistics and military supplies, to pay.

    As a wealthy businessman, Shen Bin has strong organizational skills, and his current manpower is sufficient.

    Soon, Shen Bin worked overtime all night according to the style of military uniform Chen Ziang requestedbegan to sew such black military uniforms.

    Fortunately, this is the capital of the province. Although the city was occupied by the Qinghe army, not many people wanted the worthless cloth.

    These white cloths are pulled back directly, and after re-dying, they can directly become raw materials for making military uniforms.

    The efficiency of the Far East Commercial Bank is also very high. In just one day, 500 sets of military uniforms were sewn out.

    Although these 500 sets of military uniforms have not been produced in a standardized manner at all, being able to produce so many in a short period of time has made those women very tired.

    After getting the first batch of 500 sets of black uniforms, Chen Ziang immediately summoned 500 soldiers to change them.

    Five hundred veterans who survived the bloody battle changed out of their tattered and varied clothes, and uniformly put on black military uniforms.

    When they changed into uniform black military uniforms, they stood there uniformly, and their temperaments also changed.

    "It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. The ancients did not deceive me."

    Seeing the refreshed appearance of these soldiers after changing their costumes, Chen Ziang was also very satisfied.

    "Zhang Bao!"

    "The end is here!"

    Deputy Battalion General Zhang Bao also changed into a brand new black military uniform, and he was very happy.

    "Take them to the city, go around each battalion, cheer me up, and let everyone see our handsome military uniform!" Chen Ziang ordered.

    "No!"

    Putting on the new military uniform, it is natural to show off, otherwise it will be no different from Jinyi Yexing, and the deputy battalion general Zhang Bao happily took the order.

    Soon, under the command of Zhang Bao, the five hundred soldiers in uniform black uniforms marched straight to the city along the main road in two columns.

    Although the Qinghe Army has formed 20 battalions now, it is a mess, and the uniforms are also varied. It looks like a group of mobs.

    When Zhang Bao and his group of energetic soldiers appeared on the main road, it was impossible not to attract attention.

    "Their black uniforms are beautiful."

    "Which adult should guard them?"

    "Tsk tsk, if only we could wear clothes like that."

    Zhang Bao and the others swaggered through the market, which immediately aroused the envy and jealousy of many other Qinghe army troops.

    "Isn't that the deputy commander of the 9th Battalion, Zhang Bao? Where did they get their clothes? They look really good."

    Someone recognized Zhang Bao, the leader, and was also full of interest in their handsome black uniforms.

    "Old Zhang, where did you get your clothes?" A familiar officer couldn't help asking.

    Zhang Bao raised his head hilariously and said with a smile, "We ordered this from the Far East Commercial Bank, a set of ten silver coins."

    Hearing that a set of ten silver coins for this military uniform made the soldiers onlookers gasp, it's so expensive.

    Zhang Bao didn't bother to pay attention to these envious and hated soldiers, and continued to swagger through the city with his people, his face was full of complacency.

    "Go and find out, where is the Far East Trading Company, and get me a set, isn't it just ten silver coins, look at him, as if I can't afford to wear them."

    Some military officers felt that although it was a bit expensive, it showed their status, so they immediately sent someone to inquire.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
