Chapter 139: Silver
When the cups and plates were in disarray, and the wine was gone, Ruan Maoqi invited Rong Yuanhang to their home as a guest. But the purpose of Rong Yuanhang's visit is to create a thousand forging sword and return it to the five sisters of the Miao family, and by the way, learn about the market in Hidden Dragon Town. There were still a lot of things to do, so I politely refused his kindness, took Cailong out of the outskirts of the city to find a remote and uninhabited place, and traveled back to the modern world.
As for Miao Renfeng and Miao Xiufeng, the brothers and sisters went to his uncle's house as guests, and Rong Yuanhang made an appointment with them to meet at the Chunguangmei Inn three days later, and then returned to Gaoliu Village together.
……
The coordinates of the crossing are located in his own bedroom on the third floor of the small building on the west hill of the orchard. As soon as Rong Yuanhang came out of the door, he saw two stunning women in the quiet fruit forest, they were Zixing and Xiao Yufeng.
"Senior uncle, senior sister!" Rong Yuanhang approached the past, and looked at the two beauties so pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but feel happy.
Zixing was wearing a white skirt costume. Her skin is like clotted fat, her collar is like a grub, her head is like a moth, and she looks at him with beautiful eyes and nods, as if there is a different kind of emotion in her eyes.
"Husband, are you back?" Xiao Yufeng smiled back, and suddenly the garden was full of brilliance, she was also wearing a set of white dresses. The slender waist jade belt dances the heavenly veil, suspected to be a fairy descending to the earth, her beauty is indescribable.
Zixing and Xiao Yufeng's master and apprentice, they smiled and moved, they looked so graceful, and they seemed to have a naturally beautiful and noble aura. Rong Yuanhang has seen the nine sisters of the Miao family, although each of them is also as beautiful as a flower, and facing the beauty will make him excited. But looking back and comparing with the two beautiful masters and apprentices in front of them, the nine sisters of the Miao family were also overshadowed.
"Well, there's no silver to use, come back and get some money." Rong Yuanhang replied, and then asked, "My mother is at home, right?" ”
"Mom and aunt didn't come back when they went out, saying that they were doing New Year's goods." Xiao Yufeng replied.
At this time, Lin Naiwei, Lin Sufang, Lu Xiaofu, Dumb Man, Jiang Yanyun and others were not there, only their master and apprentice were watching the house with a big sand wolf.
Maybe it's because of this period of free time, or maybe it's because of the long-term love, Xiao Yufeng now feels more and more inseparable from Rong Yuanhang, and unconsciously pours more feelings into him. As it is now. looked at the husband in front of him, his beautiful eyes were full of affection, and he had a sweet and secret feeling that he had never had before, but he didn't realize it.
Purple Star knows best. In the small talk of the past, the topic in the mouth of this apprentice was always inseparable from him.
"New Year's goods?" Rong Yuanhang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there were still a few days before the New Year! I sighed unconsciously: "Time flies so fast!" ”
Xiao Yufeng asked with a smile, "Husband, have you had lunch?" Why don't you cook for you as a concubine? ”
"You cook? Ha ha! Rong Yuanhang said happily: "Senior sister." It's the first time I've heard you say you're going to cook for me! What an honor! I've eaten it, though. ”
Xiao Yufeng was also stunned, and her cheeks gradually turned red. She herself has just realized the problem. said apologetically: "I'm sorry, husband, Yufeng didn't fulfill his wife's responsibilities." In the past, these locks were taken care of by the subordinates. The concubine has also been idle for a while, and she is really ashamed to learn to cook with her aunt. ”
Rong Yuanhang saw her shy and coquettish state for the first time, and that appearance was simply beautiful, if it weren't for Uncle Zixing's presence, he couldn't help but want to hug each other.
……
For three months. Lin Naiwei has done a lot of things. The twenty tons of gold of the Huang family of Huangxi Group were also successfully received with the help of Cailong. However, in order to maximize profits, Lin Naiwei later exchanged all the twenty tons of gold for silver of equal value.
Because the exchange ratio of silver and gold in the other world is 45:1, but the modern world is different, according to the current price of silver raw materials (925 standard silver) 3.2 yuan per gram, gold 300 yuan per gram of price difference, its silver-gold ratio reached 94:1, a difference of more than double!
Obviously, otherworldly silver is worth more than the modern world! That's why Lin Naiwei exchanged the 20 tons of gold for the equivalent of silver, and completed the exchange in two months. Due to the large quantity, it also caused large fluctuations in the national gold and silver price market.
This batch of silver weighed a total of 1,750 tons! If 37 grams is equal to one tael according to the otherworldly standard, then there are 50675675 taels! If you exchange these more than 50 million taels of silver for gold in the other world, there will be more than 1,120,000 taels of gold! than just taking twenty tons of gold and using it. That's more than double the value.
However, it was obviously impossible for this 1,750 tons of silver to sail through the plane gate and move through the Atlas Gate at once. Due to the huge quantity, most of the silver was stored in the submarine cave of Eguwan Island in Shenshi through Cailong, and Lin Naiwei only had time to secretly transport a small amount of silver to be stored in the orchard. For the needs of Rong Yuanhang from time to time.
This time when I came back, in addition to taking some silver to use, there was also a major task: as early as before, I thought of taking some goods from the modern world to sell in the other world, but I didn't wait for the right time, and now, I have arrived at Nanzhan Buzhou, so it's time to act.
A small western-style building to the east of the orchard has become a warehouse-style supermarket. In order to be prepared, her mother, Lin Naiwei, had already bought some items that were estimated to be popular or popular in the other world in piles, and stored them in the south building so that her son could come back and pick them up at any time.
The goods here include: craft lighters, craft mirrors, hair accessories, perfumes, shower gels, food, wine, clothing, camping tools - almost everything.
Lin Naiwei has money, and these things are all bought back by picking the best and most expensive. She believes that no matter how expensive the cost, she can earn it back at a high profit in that world.
She also thought of other ways to make money, such as directly forging silver tickets from the other world to use. But later I found that this influence was too great, and each otherworldly silver ticket had a unique password for the silver number to which it belonged, which was not easy to imitate, so this one was abandoned.
Another way is to bring back the gold from the other world through Rong Yuanhang, sell it for cash, and then buy silver and use it over there.
However, it was later discovered that the purity of the two precious metals of silver and gold in the other world is not high, and the profits are not as high as imagined. Moreover, when the business grows bigger, a large amount of gold will be moved here to be sold in the market, and a large amount of silver will be moved over, which will seriously affect the price of these precious metals in the original plane over time, and it may even cause the exchange of gold and silver in the future.
The main thing is that Rong Yuanhang has a time limit to open the door of the plane - this requires mental power, and the time he can maintain it is very short. So these two plans to make a fortune were abandoned.
"Husband, the silver is in the basement, will you go over now?" Xiao Yufeng asked a little reluctantly.
Rong Yuanhang said: "I promised people to compensate for a thousand forging swords. I asked for thirty taels of gold, but I didn't have enough money on me, so I came back. ”
"Be careful." At this time, Zixing also spoke.
"I will, uncle." Rong Yuanhang looked directly at each other. Zixing's beautiful face turned red, and he couldn't help but recall the scene that happened in the desert of the Heavenly Light Realm. In front of the little daughter-in-law, a strange feeling came to my heart, and somehow, at this time, I didn't respect and love Zixing as much as before. But it adds a sense of pity.
Then he said: "Uncle Shi, please rest assured, I will find the love butterfly flower as soon as possible, no matter how difficult it is, I will look for it, and I must heal your hands!" ”
Rong Yuanhang patted his chest and reassured. Zixing nodded "um", thinking that if he found the love butterfly flower, the relationship between master and nephew would no longer be maintained, and his cheeks inadvertently turned crimson again.
……
Rong Yuanhang sailed in the south building, bringing with him one hundred and fifty kilograms of silver. Then he carried a small amount of lighters, craft mirrors, and international brand-name perfumes, and then traveled back to the suburbs of the otherworldly Hidden Dragon Town with Cailong.
"Cailong, let's go, let's find a money bank to exchange this silver!" Rong Yuanhang said.
"Good master." Cailong carried a large canvas bag of silver on his shoulder, and the heavy weight almost broke out of the bag. But Cailong looked very relaxed, and he was still carrying a Li Xing bag in his hand. This bag contains some modern small goods and the like.
At this time, it was still on the outskirts of Zanglong Town, still some distance from the city, and although it was winter, there were dense weeds everywhere that made it difficult to walk. The reason why I chose to cross in this kind of place is, of course, for the sake of safety. The main thing is that I am afraid of running into others. Everywhere there were people who went into the mountains to hunt animals or herbs, and he had to line up a little farther away.
"When you have money, you must buy a spirit beast to travel, it's too troublesome." Rong Yuanhang thought as he walked. The crowned mountain eagle is good. But it's too flamboyant, and it's too big to walk on the street or on land.
But it's good to have a low-level spirit beast like a lion tiger, such as a saber-toothed tiger like Miao Renfeng, although it is a low-level spirit beast, it can at least defend and have attack power. At the same time, it can also be ridden as a horse.
came to the bustling street, asked people all the way, and came to a nearby money village with Cailong. I looked up at the plaque, and there were a few large gold characters on it: Royal Qian Zhuang of the Principality of Tianshou, and a few smaller words below: Hidden Dragon Semicolon.
"That's it!"
As soon as you enter it, you feel dark, different from the dazzling sunlight outside, it is shady and cool, and there is an indescribable smell, like sandalwood, and like patina.
This is the cabinet room facing the street of Qianzhuang, and it is a place for business to the outside world. It is mainly engaged in the business of non-local exchange, deposit and money exchange. There are already a lot of people sitting in it who have come to handle business.
As soon as Rong Yuanhang and Cailong came, a man from a money bank inside the fence asked, "Guest officer, but do you want to deposit silver?" He saw two large bags of heavy stuff on Cailong's body, presumably gold and silver.
"Well, I'll exchange some gold, it's inconvenient to hold this silver tael." Rong Yuanhang replied.
"Great!" The Qian Zhuang guy continued: "The old rule, the gold and silver of this number can be exchanged depending on the quality, and the silver barefoot person will take three out of a thousand fees. ”
Rong Yuanhang nodded: "Cailong, give him the silver." ”
Cailong put the big bag of silver on the ground, because the window in the fence was small, and the whole bag could not be stuffed in, so it could only be taken out and handed in.
The batch of silver raw materials that Lin Naiwei shipped back were customized by the manufacturer, and all of them were made into half-kilogram ingot-type silver ingots. The snow-white silver ingots were placed on the counter, and the room was suddenly full of light, dazzling!
Experienced people will know at a glance that all the silver is freshly struck. Most of the silver taels handed over by customers, each ingot is different: some are ninety-three, some are not ninety-three, some are not ninety-tenth, and some are even eighty-tenth, a difference of six or seven colors. It took a lot of effort for them to figure it out.
The so-called barefoot silver or patterned silver, the official standard gives a silver content of 93%, which is already the highest fineness. But this batch was different, and several other guys in the money village exclaimed: "It's all barefoot silver? ”
Everyone looked at each other, so much high-purity silver is very rare.
Although it can be seen from experience that the fineness of silver is the best, they have a rule that each ingot of silver is ground out on the touchstone, and then smeared with a silver tiger (also called silver medicine) to test the fineness, and this identification is indeed the highest fineness of pure silver!
The batch of silver brought by Rong Yuanhang totaled three hundred catties, which was converted to four thousand and fifty-four taels here, and after deducting the handling fee, there were four thousand and forty-two taels in exchange for eighty-nine gold coins plus eight coins and two pieces of silver of equal value.
The gold coin here is produced by the Tianshou Free Principality, and a gold coin is exactly one tael, that is, thirty-seven grams. Rong Yuanhang took a gold coin and looked at it, and it could be seen with the naked eye that the gold content of this gold coin was not full and the purity was not high. But as long as it can be used in this Hidden Dragon Town, you don't have to worry too much.
With the gold coin in his arms, Rong Yuanhang walked through the streets and alleys again, and according to the address mentioned by Miao Xiufeng, he came to the East Lai's blacksmith shop on Mingzhong Street in the west of the city.
