A long convoy was moving forward on the vast plains, and Jia Lei led people to drive 1,000 kilometers a day, and they met a group of herders on the fourth day.

"Old man, may I ask what kind of place is this?" Jia Lei asked when he was resting.

"*@%*oof~" said the other party dancing.

"I don't understand! Sasa!" Jia Lei hurriedly shouted.

"What are you doing?" asked Sasa as she walked over.

"Can you help me ask these old people, where are we now?" Jia Lei asked, looking at the vast grassland around him.

"Okay, I'll ask for you!" and Sasa began to talk to each other in the same language.

"Whew, really, it's so good?" said Sasa, laughing happily.

"Sasa, why are you so happy? Tell me about it?" Jia Lei hurriedly asked.

"Of course I'm happy, Jia Lei, we finally got out of Yakutia!" Sasa said excitedly.

He's grown up and he's never been out of the country – of course, he's not going abroad, and Yakutia is just an autonomous state in the Russian Federation.

"O heaven, O earth! We have come out at last. Jia Lei knelt on the ground gratefully and said.

"yes! We're finally out. Kerr also said a little excitedly.

Who made the shabby place of Yakutia so big, they drove for three or four days before they came out!

"By the way, what were you talking to them just now?" Jia Lei hurriedly asked.

"I asked, this should be Krasno Yarsk!" Sasa said.

"Don't tell me the name of the place yet, I can't remember it anyway!How far are we from the Ural Mountains now?" Jia Lei hurriedly asked.

"We're still halfway there, and we'll be there in four days at this pace!" said Sasa.

"That's great, as long as we hold on a little longer, we can get out right away! I have a headache when I see the grassland now......" Jia Lei said as he looked at the green in his eyes.

"I think it's quieter to walk on the grassland, and when we get out of here, we don't know what will happen when we meet the crowd!" Sasa said worriedly.

"It's not a big deal! Isn't it independence! Although we can't see the newspaper on the grassland, can we hear the radio every day! Don't worry, you won't be left behind. Jia Lei patted Sasa's body and said.

"You don't know, even these herders are talking about independence! I'm so worried that by the time we go out, the sky will change......," Sasa said.

"Anyway, sooner or later, there is nothing we can do to stop it, so we can only wait!" Jia Lei sighed and said.

"By the way, you ask these old people, do they want to buy food?" Jia Lei said to Sasa.

Along the way, whenever they met herders or tribes living nearby, they would go up and trade!

Unfortunately, there were too few people in Siberia, and Jia Lei only sold a total of 100 tons of grain in exchange for a small pile of gold and silver and a large pile of furs.

"By the way, is there a lot of people in this country called Ssk? If they have a lot of people, we can sell them a little grain. Jia Lei asked.

"Yes, there are a total of 3 million people in their border region plus two autonomous ethnic groups! In particular, there are a lot of herdsmen, and they are more familiar with our Wuyou tribe. Sasa said.

"Then do you know what they have valuable here?" Jia Lei immediately perked up and asked.

"Yes, the specialties here are gold and platinum, and I think you'll like both. Sasa said.

"Gold and platinum! I like it, I like it!" Jia Lei nodded happily.

"Then I'll ask them where there are more tribes and herdsmen nearby, and let's go there and exchange some grain for some gold and come back. Sasa said.

"Uh-huh!" Jia Lei nodded in agreement.

"Oh no! there's something wrong, come and listen to the radio!" said Kerr suddenly jumping out of the car.

"Oh my God, what's going on again! Shouldn't it be where I'm independent again?" Jia Lei said as he covered his head and collapsed.

Jia Lei and the other Chinese people didn't care about independence, but the Soviets in the convoy, including the nearby herdsmen, all gathered at the car radio to listen to the broadcast.

"On September 6, 1991, the Council of State of the USSR adopted a resolution recognizing the independence of the three union republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.........," said the announcer's voice over the radio.

This is the first time that the Soviet government has recognized the legitimacy of the independence of a member country, and it seems that the Soviet government has relented!" Jia Lei commented.

"What if they don't admit it? In the past month, even if they don't admit it, almost all of the following member countries will run out. Independence is everywhere now! Today should be the Independence Day of these three countries. Kerr commented.

Since the August 19 incident, there has been a country's independence every two or three days, and how troublesome it is to celebrate one day a day! I think you will directly celebrate Independence Month in the future. Jia Lei complained.

＊＊＊＊

I really don't blame Jia Lei for complaining, here I will list the independence time of the Soviet republics.

I won't mention the previous ones, just from the countries that became independent on August 19th!

On August 20, 1991, Estonia became independent.

On August 22, 1991, Latvia became independent.

On September 23, 1991, Armenia became independent.

On August 24, 1991, Ukraine became independent.

On August 25, 1991, Belarus became independent.

On August 27, 1991, Moldova became independent.

Azerbai** was established on 30 August 1991.

On 31 August 1991, Uzbekistan became independent

, Kyrgyzstan is independent.

No matter how Jia Lei complained, the Soviets were still living their lives, and at the same time, they were busy making trouble for independence.

＊＊

Jia Lei was extremely glad that he was selling grain on the vast prairie, rather than doing business in a city where crowds of people gathered, paraded everywhere, and made an independent scene.

Otherwise, I don't know if a businessman like him, who has made a fortune, will be trampled into meat sauce by the masses who march.

"Look at it, take a look! This year's new wheat can be exchanged for four kilograms of gold for just one gram of gold. Birkin is two kilograms for one gram. Jia Lei shouted with people outside the tent of one of the largest tribes in the vicinity.

When several nearby tribes heard that someone had come to sell grain, they hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets from their homes and took out gold and silver treasures to exchange grain with Jia Lei.

However, the herdsmen on the grassland cannot eat meat every day, and if they do not eat any grain and vegetables, their bodies will not be able to stand it and they will suffer from various diseases.

"It's still your Han caravan that has a good reputation, when I was a child, I saw a Han caravan from the Qing Dynasty. That's how we were at that time, exchanging gold and fur for grain and tea with you!" said an old herdsman in his sixties and seventies handing Jia Lei a piece of gold.

"Really, you've actually seen a caravan from the Qing Dynasty, that's really rare!" Jia Lei asked while asking someone to weigh food for him.

"I've seen it, I've seen it! We produce gold here, and every time those caravans come, they will come to us for a walk. Then we would use the gold we had dug up and exchange it with them for grain, cloth, salt, porcelain, tea, and so on. I still have a flask at home that I have exchanged with them!" said the old man proudly.

"The wine jug during the Qing Dynasty should be worth a lot of money now. Jia Lei said.

"yes, it's the same old thing as I am. The old man said with a smile.

"Then can you show it to me?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"It's useless for you to see it, I won't sell it!" the old man immediately debunked Jia Lei's careful thinking and said.

"Look at what you said, how could I snatch love with a sword! I just want to see...... Take a look!" Jia Lei said with great embarrassment.

"I'll show you, but you'll have to sell me some tea!" said the old man, squinting at his eyes.

"Oh, my grandfather! Our caravan only sells grain, not tea! Don't you see it all, we have nothing but grain. Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"I don't believe it, I smell the tea! The old man pointed to Jia Lei and said to one of them.

"Huh, there really is!" Jia Lei looked at the old man's finger and said in surprise.

Chen Dong was sitting at the table, collecting accounts while sipping tea from time to time.

"Old man, you wait, just because you have believed in the credibility of our Han caravan for decades, I will definitely go and get you tea!" Jia Lei clenched his fists and said, then he stood up and walked towards Chen Dong.

"Don't worry, little doll, I won't call you to work for nothing! grandson, go and bring a jug of our family's best mare's milk wine, and then bring your grandfather's favorite jug. The old man said with a smile to a man in his 20s beside him.

"Got it! The man glanced at Jia Lei and said.

＊＊＊＊

"Hey, Chen Dong, where did you get this tea?" Jia Lei asked as he walked up to Chen Dong and pretended to be inadvertent.

"I brought it from my hometown, and I sent some labor protection tea to their factory every year! Our family drinks it every day, and when I came out this time, my mother packed two packs for me. Chen Dong said.

"Oh, how much do you have left?" asked Jia Lei.

"I eat meat every day these days, and I don't even have some vegetables! Everyone likes to order tea with me to drink, and I still have a bag of zero points left. Chen Dong said unsuspectingly.

"I'm a little tired of saying that, why don't you give me some drinks?" Jia Lei said.

My mom said that children can't drink this kind of strong tea. Chen Dong said.

"Got it! Where's your tea? I'll get it. Jia Lei asked.

"It's in our car, in a bag that says Hongxing Steel Mill. Chen Dong said.

"Then I'll go get it myself!Can I get more?" Jia Lei asked.

"Okay, but you can't drink too much, my mother said that drinking too much strong tea is not good for a child's kidneys. Chen Dong said.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't drink much!" Jia Lei said.

Yes, Jia Lei really didn't plan to drink more, he just planned to take more...... One pack.

"Oh, I can't take it all for Chen Dong, I should leave him a copy. Jia Lei said after finding the tea.

Then he took away the two-pound big tea bag, leaving only Chen Dong with only half a bag of tea left in six taels......

"Once this tea is opened, it will not be easy to preserve, so it is better to ......" Jia Lei looked at the tea leaves in his hand, and then looked at the half bag of opened tea leaves.

"Grandpa, I brought you the tea leaves, for you. Jia Lei said, took out a small bag and handed it to the old herdsman.

"Hmm~~ I've never smelled this for many years! It's black tea!"

"Yes!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

"How much do you want for this tea?" asked the old herdsman.

"I took it from someone else, I think the two of us are fated to do it, I don't need money! Jia Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"That's not good, tea is such a precious thing, how can I take your child's for nothing! Why don't you take this bracelet and let me pay for the tea." The old man said as he removed a men's gold bracelet encrusted with red sapphires from his wrist and stuffed it to Jia Lei.

"No, this is too valuable! These teas are not worth much in our country. Jia Lei hurriedly excused himself and said.

"Of course I know this! But we haven't seen such a thing as tea for more than ten years, and now if you go to the shops in the city to buy it! The old herdsman said.

"This ......" Jia Lei is not the kind of hypocritical person, he put away the gold bracelet when he heard the old man say this.

"Mo Bei, you carry two more bags of wheat for this old man! Then give the old man 2 catties of fruit candy in my car. Jia Lei said.

The food and candy he gave him was enough to pay the price of the bracelet!

"Hmm...... That's why I say that your Han caravans have the best reputation, not as bad as those Westerners. Sometimes they do business with us and find that there is no one around, and they will just grab it. The old herdsman said.

"Impossible, what age is this? How can there be robbery!" Jia Lei said in disbelief.

"These people didn't have them a few years ago, they only started to appear last year! Be careful when you go any further, and be careful if you encounter a strange caravan full of men. The old herdsman reminded Jia Lei.

"But doesn't the government and the army care?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

They drove the car and grabbed things and left, rarely leaving even a living mouth. When we reported it to the army, they couldn't find anyone when they came! Not to mention that the army had been in chaos since last month, and now no one would be able to suppress these robbers!" said the old herdsman angrily.

"Don't worry! We will definitely not have a problem, almost everyone in our team has guns, and this time I have brought out 200 people! There are more than 200 guns, and even the wolves we encountered on the road have been shot away by us. Sasa heard the old herdsman's words and pointed to the gun on his body.

"That's good, that's good!" said the old herdsman, squinting his eyes.

"Don't worry, if you really encounter someone who comes to rob you, I will definitely destroy them for Tianxingdao!" Jia Lei said ambitiously.

"Grandpa, I have brought the flask you wanted!" said the old herdsman's grandson.

"I've seen Qing Dynasty antiques this time, let me take a look...... This is blue and white porcelain, right? When I bought it...... "Jia Lei took Chen Dong's tea as a favor, and finally saw the antique treasure."

＊＊＊＊

This Krasnoy Yarsk is still very rich, and Jia Lei's convoy stopped here for two days and sold 10 truckloads of grain! 500 tons!

Jia Lei changed a whole sack of Birkin and gold jewelry, fur and gold nuggets here!

"Boss, where is my tea?

"Hehe......" Jia Lei smiled awkwardly, he hid for two days and was still caught by Chen Dong.

"Why did I take it all? Didn't I leave you 3 taels of tea leaves? So many tea leaves are enough for you to drink for half a month. Jia Lei said with a haha.

"I don't care, you can't drink so much tea alone! Chen Dong hurriedly said.

3 Two taels of tea leaves were indeed enough for him to drink for half a month, but the people in the convoy came to ask for it every day. This little tea can be drunk for two days at most!

"I don't have any more tea! I've already sold it, so I'll have to give you this. Jia Lei said reluctantly, and reluctantly took out a gold bracelet inlaid with red sapphires and handed it over.

"What are you giving me this? This thing is too valuable, what do I want it for a big man!" Chen Dong said in shock.

"Take it, this is what you exchanged for tea! If you don't like to bring it, give it to Aunt Chen." Jia Lei said.

"Is this really a tea exchange?" Chen Dong hesitated when he heard Jia Lei say this, he really wanted a gold bracelet.

"Of course it's true! Otherwise, I would be willing to give you something so valuable. Jia Lei handed over the gold bracelet and said.

"That'...... Then I'll take it! I don't want this month's salary. Chen Dong said embarrassedly.

At this time, a new message came on the radio,

"On 9 September 1991, Tajikistan declared its independence ......"

＊＊＊＊

"Jia Lei, this stingy ghost, is suddenly so generous, why do I think there is a conspiracy?" Mo Bei said as he looked at the gold bracelet in Chen Dong's hand.

"No! Jia Lei gave me all the gold bracelets, what other conspiracy can there be? Besides, Jia Lei's salary for us is so high, he is not a stingy ghost. Chen Dong immediately retorted.

"Come on! Jia Lei is not stingy, don't you know? Look at how dark the grain price he set for the herdsmen! Just your little broken tea can be exchanged for a gold bracelet and come back, how can he, the master who never suffers a loss, give you the gold in his hand?" Mo Bei said, anyway, he didn't believe that Jia Lei was so generous.

"When you say that, I also think there is a conspiracy here......" Xiang Xi said, touching his chin.

＊＊

"I think there's a conspiracy here!" Jia Lei said affirmatively, holding the tea bag.

"You're talking stupid again, aren't you? This is a news broadcast, what kind of conspiracy can there be?" Kerr said, pointing to the car radio.

"How could there be no conspiracy? How could the Soviet Union hate these independent member countries before it was too late, and how could it suddenly be so generous and agree to their independence! What is even stranger is ...... Not only did he not stop the demand for independence of the following member states, but he also seemed to be a little instigated?" Jia Lei said suspiciously.

"But what does that have to do with us? Boss, you're just a businessman, have you forgotten?" said Bre.

"You're right, this really has nothing to do with me! Flip through the map and see which country you should go to next?" Jia Lei asked.

"Here are Yamal-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi, and then we'll be on to our destination in the Ural Mountains. Burr said, looking at the map.

"Are there any specialties in these two places?" Jia Lei asked.

"Yamal's specialty is oil and natural gas, and although they can grow food, they are always in short supply! Although Khanty-Mansi is also a major producer of oil and gas, they also have a large amount of precious stones and precious metals such as gold, which is one of our destinations this time. The point is that people there barely grow food!"

"Then let's go directly to Khanty-Mansi!" Jia Lei said. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
