Economically, Lu Yan received diamond-level props——《treasure bowl".
Lu Yan received the"treasure basin" and appeared directly
"Cornucopia, a diamond-level prop, a prop with magical power.
Function 1: Money begets money, the cornucopia can beget money, one tael of gold can beget a thousand taels of gold, the cooling period is one month.
Function 2: Copy. The cornucopia has a copy function. There is a 50% probability of copying a black iron-level item, a 20% probability of copying a bronze-level item, and a 10% probability of copying a silver-level item. There is a one percent probability of replicating gold-level props.

Function 4: Collect wealth. The cornucopia has the effect of collecting wealth and improves the economic prosperity of the country. 20/20"
······
Four functions, each of which is quite awesome.
Although the first skill has a cool-down period, it is quite worth it.
It is equivalent to Yun Guo being supported by one thousand taels of gold every month.
If the country is big, a thousand taels of gold will definitely not be enough.
But for the current county.
A thousand taels of gold can do many things.
This is of great use.
There is a second function, copying, although it comes with some risks.
But the greater the courage, the greater the output.
Gold-level Lu Yan is reluctant to part with it, but he can still try black iron, bronze, and silver.
The third and fourth functions are also good.
It is also a very powerful function.
This cornucopia is too powerful.
Lu Yan looked at the cornucopia in his hand. It was not particularly large, just larger than an ordinary porcelain plate.
The whole body is round.
It is engraved with gold, silver, jade, and Ruyi patterns, which are lifelike.
On its front, three ancient seal characters - cornucopia - are engraved.
Under the cornucopia, there are three tripods.
Showing the potential of the three talents of"heaven, earth and man".
Hold the cornucopia.
At this time, the cornucopia was empty.
Nothing.
But there was a layer of precious light covering his body.
And that Wu Bingjian was a very powerful businessman.
Wu Bingjian is also known as Wu Dunyuan.
In the first year of the new millennium, the Wall Street Journal counted the 50 richest people in the world in the past 1,000 years. Six Chinese people were selected, and Wu Bingjian was one of them.
In the fourteenth year of Daoguang's reign, Wu Bingjian's private assets reached 26 million silver dollars.
Wu Bingjian's wealth comes in many forms, not only money, but also his own business. This business is called"Yihe Xing", which engages in Sino-Western trade, mainly dealing in silk fabrics, tea and porcelain.
He based himself in Yangcheng, mainly doing trade with the British. At the same time, he expanded his industry abroad and even placed his debts abroad. He was the largest creditor of the British East Tianzhu Company.
Like an ordinary landowner, he bought a large number of properties, houses, tea gardens, and shops in China, and even turned his money into capital to invest in railways, securities, and insurance businesses abroad.
Wu Bingjian's Yihe Bank once became a world-class multinational consortium.
Yihe Xing, one of the Thirteen Xings, is even more famous all over the world because of its owner Wu Bingjian.
Wu Bingjian was a business wizard. When he was running Jardine House, he established close ties with important customers in Europe and the United States.
He was not only an official and businessman in feudal society, but also knew how to rely on the trade of Western merchants to make a fortune.
His firm had the closest ties with foreign businessmen at that time, and could make good use of the East Tianzhu Company, individual traders, and American businessmen.
Before 1834, the Wu family's annual trade volume with British and American businessmen amounted to millions of taels of silver. Wu Bingjian was also the"banker" and largest creditor of the Dongtianzhu Company. Because of this, Wu Bingjian enjoyed a high reputation in the Western business community at that time. Some Western scholars even called him"the richest man in the world."
Unfortunately, it didn't end well.
As a wealthy businessman during the decline of the feudal dynasty, Wu Bingjian's accumulated wealth was destined not to last long.
Just when his multinational consortium was reaching its peak, an undercurrent was quietly surging.
The Opium War broke out.
Although Wu Bingjian once donated a huge sum of money to the court in exchange for a third-grade title, this could not save his career at all.
Because Wu Bingjian protected foreign businessmen from smuggling opium, he was reprimanded and punished by Lin Zexu many times, and had to donate huge amounts of wealth to the Qing government again and again in order to obtain short-term peace.
《After the signing of the Treaty of Nandu, the Qing government ordered merchants to repay foreign debts of 3 million silver dollars in 1843, and Wu Bingjian alone shouldered 1 million silver dollars. It was in this year that Wu Bingjian died of illness in Yangcheng.
After Wu Bingjian's death, the thirteen businesses in eastern Guangdong, which were once the most prosperous in the world, began to gradually decline.
Many merchants went bankrupt under the pressure of the Qing government.
What's even more fatal is that with the implementation of the five-port trade, eastern Guangdong lost its advantage in foreign trade, and the privileges enjoyed by the Thirteenth Bank of Guangdong also ended.
After the outbreak of the Second Opium War, another sudden fire came to Thirteenth Street, and finally these business houses with a history of more than 100 years were completely reduced to ashes.
