Rong Niang brought a tea tray, placed it on the stone table in front of Jingyang Building, poured it for Zhao Ran, sat next to him, and said: "Six hundred thousand taels of small-amount silver notes were sold, and eight banks issued them. .¡±
Zhao Ran looked at the night view of Xuanwu Lake in the distance and nodded: "Yes."
Rong Niang added: "Baochao Department currently has 600,000 yuan in silver, and thirteen banks have submitted applications for the issuance of small-denomination banknotes. In less than three months, Baochao Department's silver deposit will exceed one million taels. "
Zhao Ran said absently: "Very good."
"Four Seasons Bank has reached an acquisition agreement with two small banks"
"OK"
"Shi Weiming asked, should we prepare to establish a United Savings Bank?"
"ah?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
"Here you are"
Rong Niang thought for a while and asked, "Is it detrimental to inspecting the fleet's war?"
Zhao Ran sighed and said: "There has been no news since Li Dayin separated from the enemy ship. It has been almost four hours now."
"You give him a flying talisman and he doesn't respond?"
¡°Yes, it¡¯s a very strange phenomenon.¡±
Just as he was talking, a bit of white light flew over. Zhao Ran quickly copied it down, then shook his head and said: "Lu Xixing, he is also asking why he can't contact the inspection fleet. Not just Li Dayin, all Chaotian Palace sent to inspect the fleet. None of the monks can be contacted!"
Rong Niang couldn¡¯t help in this regard. She could only console him: ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. There¡¯s no point in being anxious. You must stay calm.¡±
Zhao Ran stood up and said, "I want to convene a joint meeting. You should go to bed early tonight."
The joint meeting was held at a bad time, and no one could confirm any news about the inspection fleet. The only thing that can be confirmed is the location of the inspection fleet's last flying talisman contact with Ying Tian.
On the hanging chart, Zhao Ran circled a circle with a pen. This circle is located 500 nautical miles southeast of Qianli Rock. If a horizontal line is drawn, the west side is facing Huai'an Mansion, which is also about 500 miles away. It forms a triangle with Qianliyan and Huai'an Prefecture.
Zhao Ran introduced: "This is the approximate location of the inspection fleet when Lao Li last contacted me. At that time, Zhang Zheng's fleet was fleeing east-south. In another fifty to a hundred miles, it will enter The scope of the Demonic Hell Sea is so I suggested that he give up chasing Zhang Zheng¡¯s fleet, and he agreed.¡±
The circle he marked is very close to the Sea of ??Demonic Hell, so everyone can understand why Zhao Ran and Li Dayin chose to give up the pursuit, but the question is, what happened after they gave up, causing Fei Fu to be unable to contact them?
Zhao Ran said to everyone: "Please brainstorm, let's all think about it carefully. Under what circumstances will all our contacts with the inspection fleet be suddenly interrupted?"
After everyone fell into deep thought, Zhao Ran enlightened: "I was looking at Xuanwu Lake and Zijin Mountain from the Jingyang Tower just now, and suddenly I remembered that in June of the year before last, the entire Yingtian, and even most of Nanzhili, flew into the sky. The talismans have lost their effectiveness. Everyone here may not be very clear about the situation at that time, but at least they can know a little bit. I am in the big formation and cannot contact outside the formation. Not only outside the formation, even within the formation. , the flying talismans have lost their effectiveness."
Lu Xixing immediately said: "What Zhiran means is that someone has set up a big formation there? I'm afraid this is not very realistic, right?"
Zhao Ran said: "I just put forward an idea. I also know that setting up such a large formation on the vast sea is not very revealing. Do you have anything else to think about?"
Being reminded by Zhao Ran, Miss Jiu thought of something: "Could it be because of the Demonic Hell Sea? Or the Demonic Hell Sea is far larger than what we know. They actually went deep into the Demonic Hell Sea. In the sea of ??demon hell. I remember reading an article "Zhu Daotang Notes" a few years ago, which described that my predecessor Zhu Tianshi of Longhu Mountain once passed by the sea of ??demon hell in a sea ship. At that time, many strange phenomena occurred, and The problem with flying talismans outside is also included."
This is extremely important information. Zhao Ran asked everyone present if they had seen similar records or heard of similar incidents. Everyone shook their heads and replied that they were not sure. So Zhao Ran asked everyone to divide the work and ask their elders for confirmation.
After a while, the news was summarized.
Zhao Ran contacted Zhou Yunzhi and Duanmu Changzhen. Neither of them knew the relevant information. Later, Xu Yun'ao, Zhang Yunyi, Wang Changyu and others all gave feedback that Zhenshitang's understanding of the Demonic Hell Sea was really unclear. Many, the real teachers sitting in the hall don¡¯t know much about this.
It¡¯s no wonder that Daomen has never set its sights on overseas countries, let alone the evil places in the deep sea.The sea is over.
It wasn't until Zhao Ran flew the talisman to Duanmu Chongqing, the great heavenly master, that he got an idea. Duanmu Chongqing had never been to the Demonic Hell Sea, but he had heard that this sea area was indeed very weird. There will be some interference in the communication. Some places can make contact, but some places cannot receive the flying symbols at all.
Zhao Ran summoned Qian Xundaotong and Wang Chengyu to the meeting hall for questioning. The two men's statements were also vague. They were unclear about whether the flying talisman could communicate in the sea of ??demon hell. After all, there are too few people who have actually been there, or even those who dare to get close.
But the possibility that the demonic hell sea will block the flying talisman's contact has been placed in front of everyone.
The next question is, if contact was really impossible for this reason, then why did Li Dayin change his previous decision and lead the inspection fleet to pursue him?
No one can answer this question, we can only wait. Zhao Ran once considered whether to immediately send Master Gu Kexue and his disciples to drive the Yunmai Lily to this water area to check the situation, but he gave up.
"In a vast sea, if you want to find the location accurately by going five to six hundred miles deep, it is not something that the current flying magic weapon can do, and it is easy to lose your bearings. Secondly, it is too close to the Demonic Hell Sea. If the flying magic weapon accidentally falls into it, it will face an accident of "destroying the aircraft and killing people".
The final decision was to send several wind speedboats to search for the inspection fleet, and use the cloud lilies to cooperate, so as to ensure that they would not be lost at sea.
This order was quickly sent to Shengsi Island overnight. The only three 100-material wind speedboats left on the island were immediately dispatched. The ships were equipped with Yunming Lily, and they urgently left the island in the dark and headed northeast.
After the order was issued, Zhao Ran asked everyone to rest in the Cockcrow Temple and arranged a courtyard for everyone to stay, but no one left the meeting hall until dawn. No one was in the mood to go back and rest, they were all eagerly waiting for the news from the front - even in the meeting hall, they could only sit there.
By the evening of the next day, Zhao Ran finally received the flying talisman from Zhou Keli and Ling Congyun: "Uncle Zhao, send reinforcements quickly to save me, Uncle Li!"
