Rich people love to play, they can play in the sky, the earth and the sea, this rich world is not understood by ordinary people, but these days Zhang Nan is a little bit unable to understand this ordinary world!

Even if I knew roughly what would happen before, but this change was too fast, and a group of people who were originally living a good life and were quite rich countries and nations have gone crazy, and they can't get along with themselves when they are playing with their lives, and they have a posture of not giving up if they don't lose their entire body, paralyze their whole body, and vow not to give up once they return to the West.

The human heart and human nature are the most elusive and the most difficult things to satisfy, look at Eastern and Southeastern Europe, where many people have gone crazy!

As for Huaxia, the real estate bubble in Qionghai has still begun, but it is still early before the collapse, and it is estimated that it will take a year or two.

In his previous life, Zhang Nan would be in China, and many things that happened abroad were only learned from newspapers and TV, which was at most better than seeing flowers in the fog.

Now it's different, I have a huge media group, and I can get all the information that I might be interested in the first time, not to mention that the media in the Western world is already developed, and there are more messy things that can be seen.

What happened in southeastern Europe was originally not very related to him, but his two bodyguards and a group of former agents belonging to the "United Forces" were doing terrible work in the Soviet Union, and they had to pay more attention to the developments in the Soviet Union and southeastern Europe.

Even if you are in the southern part of the South China Sea, you still have to have one of your eyes staring at Europe, and the more you look at it, the more you sigh that the world is too complicated and dangerous, and there are even more crazy people with hot brains!

……

On the night of the 27th, Zhang Nan prepared a relatively formal dinner on his yacht to celebrate the successful completion of the TV network's "Treasure Hunt" film crew The preliminary material shooting of the feature film on the theme of ancient shipwrecks will return to the United States tomorrow.

Using the shipwreck in the Qianlong period as the main material, the film crew also figured out what kind of cargo was contained in the shipwreck.

"A whole boatload of rice, unfortunately, we may never know where it was originally going to be.

Boss, you have research on archaeology, is it common to have regrets like this one?"

Thompson, the choreographer of the film crew, will still feel a pity: more than two hundred years have passed, of course, the rice on the cargo ship cannot be preserved intact, but thanks to the protection of the silt and sea sand on the seabed, many almost corroded sacks have been found at the bottom of the cargo hold in the past few days, and some charred chaff remains in the bags.

There were two long rows of tables lined up in the owner's deck dining room, Zhang Nan didn't drink, and when he heard Thompson's words, he took a sip of the juice squeezed from the mixture of sugar cane and pineapple, and said with a smile: "Declare a little!"

I'm not an archaeologist, and if you understand it that way, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by scholars who are really serious academics.

But then again, but on the road of seeking historical truth, nine times out of ten, it is not satisfactory, can you understand?

This regret is a kind of beauty, such as the 'Blackstone' shipwreck I named during the Tang Dynasty in China, no one will ever know what happened to it 1200 years ago, everything can only be guessed by historical data and the shipwreck itself.

In fact, it is not necessary to say that the Middle Ages are so far away, there was a great discovery in the estate I bought, and there was a batch of Morgan gold coins that were buried in the earth before the First World War......

Unfortunately, I still don't know who gave me the treasure, which is now worth millions of dollars.

Since you don't know, then you can use your imagination, and this is one of the charms of seeking historical truth. ”

Zhang Nan never thought of keeping the Morgan gold coin a secret from the discovery of the Morgan gold coin, and now many people in the nearby circles, large or small, have heard of this interesting treasure discovery: the United States law stipulates that the wealth belongs to Zhang Nan, and the gold coin found is justified in his pocket.

Anna and the others are doing a show to find old treasures, and they have heard about the lucky thing that happened to the boss, but after word of mouth, everyone heard a different version.

This time, I heard the boss say this in person, not to mention Thompson, even for the Mark brothers and the Jiang brothers who were just hearsay about this before, I have to sigh that the boss's luck is really good!

It's so rich, and the luck is so good, it's really good luck that can't be stopped, the more money you have, the better the luck, the evil door!

Anna would have sighed, "Why haven't I ever found a gold coin in my backyard, well, not even a penny!

Yes, it seems that many children have repaired the earth, and it doesn't matter whether it's men or women.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "I suggest that you can go to the film crew of "Digging the Ground and Hunting for Treasure and Making a Fortune" to borrow a metal detector, just say that it is my suggestion, and they should give this face."

The good detectors on the market are too expensive, so you can buy them for a small account, or you can simply ask them to go to your backyard to explore, and you may not be able to find gold bricks!"

This joke can be regarded as real advice, and it is really good, Anna really plans to give it a try when she goes back: there is a backyard unit at home, everyone should go to explore it, and it is not necessary to really get rich overnight!

Well...

It's best to find out who the treasure in the ground belongs to and what the law says, lest if there really is, it's a small thing to dig out and rejoice, and it's really unnecessary to put yourself in the dock.

Rather than that, it's better not to dig!

The joke began, and Zhang Nan said back, "Thompson, Anna, for this shipwreck that transported a lot of rice, I suggest that you can guess that its destination is Huaxia during the Manchu Dynasty, and you can also deal with it in the same way in post-production......"

Zhang Nan didn't say what to pay attention to when using ancient Chinese materials, he is the chief boss of the United Television Network, and when this own TV network outputs ideology, the first thing to consider is not the ratings, but the will of the boss, which is the highest criterion of the TV network!

Does Ratings Matter?

It's okay, the boss is in the bottom line, not to mention that in the past two years, United Television Network's variety shows, TV dramas, and feature feature films and documentaries have always been the best in the industry, and news programs are also above the average of the seven major TV networks in the United States, so you don't have to worry too much about ratings.

This precautions do not need to be specially reminded by Zhang Nan, Thompson and others already understood very well: they dare not use those image materials that were once popular in the United States and the entire Western world, and are now quite marketable.

The boss is a Chinese man with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and the employees below slander the image of the Chinese people, and it is estimated that it is not a simple problem of unemployment.

This boss is not an ordinary person, not only a media group, but also has his own international security company, and is a master with a private army!

This boss is directing the post-production of the show, professional guidance, Thompson not only listened honestly, after obtaining Zhang Nan's consent, several people also took paper and pen to make a simple record: for them, these are the real dry goods of the expert level, or the direct will of the boss.

“… Almost the entire Manchu period, the Manchu Qing understand, right? It was the Qing Dynasty, the braided dynasty......

The problem of this braid is ignored, anyway, China has not stopped importing rice for almost the entire Qing Dynasty, it is just a matter of quantity.

This has nothing to do with whether or not it can be self-sufficient in grain, because the United States is a de facto major exporter of grain, but it is also importing some types of grain.

During the Manchu period, the first policy adopted by those emperors was to ban grain exports, and the fundamental reason was the fear of grain outflow.

Modern society must first ensure the strategic and quantitative security of food supply, without food everything is empty!

I often say that gold is money everywhere, except in times of real famine, in which case it sometimes becomes useless.

A man is dying of hunger, and he still has ten kilograms of gold, but there is no food around him, and they are all dying of hunger, and this gold is waste, and it is not as useful as a loaf of bread.

In the later period of Kangxi, some officials reminded the emperor that the reason for the rise in the price of rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was because rice was sold overseas by profiteers, so the domestic rice price was too high.

My hometown is in that area, which is a grain producing area, and it is impossible for food prices to rise abnormally...

However, although the Kangxi Emperor was worried about the outflow of grain, he did not completely restrict foreign trade, but only strictly prohibited the export of grain.

At that time, the Manchu government also set a strict and clear grain quota for Chinese cargo ships engaged in ocean-going trade: ships going to sea were allowed to bring one liter of rice per person per day, and one liter of surplus rice to prevent wind obstruction.

If there is more than the amount of rice, the entry and exit officials, boat owners, and merchants will be punished together.

As for those who smuggle rice and grain into large ships in small boats, they will be severely punished......

Don't understand?

Each crew member on the ship going to sea is counted as a head, counts the shipping schedule and prepares food, and cannot bring more.

This liter of rice is about 0.75 kilograms, there may be some fluctuations, and the weights and measures will change a little.

This means that even if we add in the precautionary reserve of food for force majeure caused by typhoons, each crew member can carry a maximum of 1.5 kilograms of rice a day, and take advantage of the expected sailing time to prevent the outflow of food and smuggling. ”

Loading food according to the head and shipping schedule is a rule that makes a group of people in the restaurant more knowledgeable: this rule...

Brilliant!

Prohibition of grain outflow, as an agricultural empire, in an era when the amount of imported seaborne grain cannot reach the amount needed to suppress the enthusiasm of domestic grain growing, the imperial government naturally hopes that the more grain in its hands, the better!

With food in their hands and no panic in their hearts, the rulers and managers of the agricultural empire will feel this truth the most!

Zhang Nan said that he talked about this, "The Qing Dynasty's initial grain imports were only a special policy for Fujian Province, and then gradually expanded the scope, and during the Qianlong period, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the main provinces that imported rice.

In 1743, the eighth year of Qianlong, even the merchant ships transporting rice were also favored by the policy, and other goods loaded on board could also enjoy tax reductions according to the standard to a certain extent.

And then......

Here's the problem, opium and rice are mixed, it's interesting......"

What is called "there are policies and countermeasures", the import trade and shipping in the middle and late Qing Dynasty is one of them, for the silver of white flowers, there is nothing to dare to do!

However, Zhang Nan finally added: "Don't mention the matter of transporting opium together on a rice boat in the show, it's too annoying." ”

Why do you annoy the ball?

This year is 91 years, and next year 92 years, the drug is prohibited, and everyone has buried landmines in vegetable fields.

The boss's will must be carried out, but talking about the shipwreck, Zhang Nan's attention was gradually attracted to the TV at the end of the restaurant.

The voice was not loud, he was eating, and motioned to the waiter to turn up the volume: In the war zone, someone on the side is shooting with a machine gun, and a reporter in the main body of the picture is wearing a steel helmet and a body armor to do live reporting, absolutely playing with his life and putting on a show!

This is the main news program of the United Television Network, Zhang Nan took a closer look, and the station logo on the microphone in the hand of the desperate reporter was also from the United Television Network!

Everyone didn't expect that this Zhang Nan would directly pop out of his mouth: "Nonsense!"

Yugoslavia is going to fight a civil war, who let them go to the joint report?!

I'm going to die!

It's really brain-pumping, looking for death!"

The owner was angry and the consequences were serious!

There is Yugoslavia, not the future Iraq, and even less the future Afghanistan!

Compared with the cruelty of the Yugoslav civil war, Iraq and Afghanistan can be regarded as children's games!

Some time ago, the Yugoslav civil war has officially broken out, which is the result of a combination of various special reasons, who made its country's geopolitical structure fragmented, and still lacks a strong main core plate, and the cultural composition is also extremely complex.

The population of more than 20 million is divided into five main ethnic groups: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro; Three official languages, Serbo-Croatian, Slovinian, and Macedonian.

No ethnic group has an absolute advantage, not even a significant relative advantage, and the largest ethnic group, the Orthodox Serbs, account for just over one-third of the total population of Yugoslavia.

Just a few days ago, the two republics of Yugoslavia, Slovenia and Croatia unilaterally declared independence, triggering armed clashes between the Slovenian armed forces and the Yugoslav People's Army.

Will this be... The bloody conflict between the Croatian authorities and the Serbs in Croatia has resumed, and the Republic of Serbia has sent "volunteers" to Croatia to "help the war" for the Serbs.

Then the Yugoslav People's Army intervened in the conflict in Croatia, and the war became more and more intense, and it was already a pot of porridge in a short period of time!

War reports are popular with the audience, but it is Yugoslavia, and I thought it was the Gulf War that had just been won!

To report on the Yugoslav civil war, the opponent is not the Arabs who do not know how to fight at all, the complexity of the war and the tragedy and cruelty of the war, and the inhumanity of the massacre...... All this will be beyond the imagination of all normal people!

Not to mention wearing a steel helmet and body armor, you are hiding in a tank and the old birthday star hangs himself, looking for death!

"Whoever sent it, call people back immediately, we don't touch Yugoslavia, the news over there just uses big road goods. ”

sighed, "It's not just dangerous, it's really untouchable, otherwise it will be hated in the future!"

Don't talk about you as a reporter, the United Nations peacekeeping forces will live there in the future, and they will kill people with red eyes, regardless of whether you are a blue helmet or not, and they will surprise you if they want to make you out!

What does it mean to kill red eyes?

More than ten years later, veterans of the Yugoslav civil war in the world are high-end goods in the mercenary market, because they can not only fight and fight, but most of them kill people, regardless of men, women and children, without blinking an eye!

Speaking of which, Zhang Nan was no longer in the mood to continue eating, so he got up and left.

In my last life, I read too much material about the Yugoslav Civil War, and it will turn into a real flesh mill, and those damn memories!

The words were addressed to Anna and the others, and soon, Henry knew the boss's decision.
