Chapter 859: Currency

"Are you all ready?"

Hearing Huangpu Invincible say this, Qin Feng didn't dwell on the matter of Huangpu Deyan, and asked, "It will take at least a year to go here, what else does Elder Huangpu have to explain?" ”

"Nothing." Huangpu Invincible glanced at Qin Feng deeply and said, "I only hope that the Lord will return as soon as possible, I am waiting here to look forward to it......"

"Okay, after seven days, you can take us to the passage!" Qin Feng nodded, he wanted to set aside three days for Zhang Hu's brothers and sisters to say goodbye to their grandfather.

"Well, then in seven days, I'll prepare something too......"

Huangpu Invincible agreed, and after saying goodbye to Qin Feng, he took Huangpu Qiao's father and son and left the place where Qin Feng lived, I was afraid that there would be something to say that needed to be explained separately.

Later, Qin Shan and Qin Bing also said goodbye and left, and by the way, they brought Zhang Hu's brothers and sisters back to Qincheng, but Qin Dongyuan stayed without worry, and would discuss martial arts issues with Qin Feng every day.

Qin Feng has not been idle in the past few days, he asked Huangpu Invincible to find a few tailors, and then according to the figure of the person who was going out this time, he drew the style of the clothes, and asked those tailors to make it.

The dress in this space is similar to that of the space outside a hundred years ago, if Qin Feng and his party were wearing robes and coats after going out, they might make some jokes.

A week passed in a flash, and seven days later, the Zhang Hu brothers and sisters returned to the village, and Qin Feng had all the clothes he asked to make Zuò.

Early in the morning of the eighth day, everyone gathered in the small courtyard where Qin Feng lived.

For the sake of secrecy, in addition to Qin Feng, Huangpu Qiao's father and son, Zhang Hu's brothers and sisters, and Qin Dongyuan, there is only one Huangpu invincible, and he wants to take Qin Feng and the others to the passage.

"Elder Huangpu, what are these two carts for?"

Qin Feng discovered. In addition to them, there were two carriages in the courtyard, and they were the kind of carts with four horses each.

"Lord, this is for you to bring out."

Huangpu Invincible walked to the side of a carriage and stretched out his hand to lift the cover on the carriage, Qin Feng only felt a flower in front of him. But his eyes flashed at the light of the sun shining on the gold nuggets.

"Huh? All gold? Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, he understood what Huangpu meant to be invincible.

"Yes, it's all gold."

Huangpu Invincible nodded and said, "Lord, gold is not worth much here with us, but it can be exchanged for anything outside, and this gold is enough for the Lord to buy the items he needs here......"

The reason why this paradise has been able to trade with the outside world for thousands of years is because of this gold.

With an inexhaustible supply of gold, they can support businessmen like Shen Wansan and Hu Xueyan who are rich in the world. Thus trading those goods and goods that go outside.

"How many are there?"

Qin Feng looked at the carriage, this carriage was somewhat similar to the flat cart outside, but it was much larger, it was covered with gold bricks, he reached out and took a gold brick from the carriage, Qin Feng weighed it with his hand.

Qin Feng had seen the gold bricks in the bank vault, and the so-called gold bricks were actually the largest of a hundred grams. It's not an exaggeration to call it a gold bar.

But these gold bricks in front of you are absolutely genuine. Each gold brick is about the same size as the people use to build houses, and Qin Feng felt it as soon as he got his hands on it, this gold brick weighs at least about ten kilograms.

A gold brick is ten kilograms, and Qin Feng now understands why this carriage is equipped with four horses, because one or two horses. I can't pull this car full of gold bricks at all.

"Lord, two hundred gold bricks have been placed on each carriage, and they should be enough for the lord's expenses this time."

Huangpu Invincible has been busy with these gold bricks in front of him for the past few days, and gold was not worth much in the past. There are also very few people mining, but now that Qin Feng is going out, the situation is different.

Huangpu Invincible asked Qin Bing to organize some manpower to mine a gold mine not far from Qincheng, refine it day and night, and then burn it into gold water, and use molds to pour gold bricks in front of him.

"Lord, the time for you to go out this time is too tight, you can only prepare so much, and when the Lord comes back next time, I will prepare ten times as much gold as this, and let the Lord take it out......"

Although they are all open-pit gold mines, there are no modern mining tools in this space, and all of them are dug up by manpower.

The Qin clan sent all the soldiers of the Qian and Zhao clans who were defeated this time to open the mine, and most of them were dark and chemical warriors, and in a full seven days, there were so many openings.

"Lord, isn't this gold enough?" Huangpu Invincible glanced at Qin Feng and said, "There are still some rare antiques in the underground palace, or ...... You're going to take it out this time, right? ”

Seeing that Qin Feng was silent, Huangpu Invincible thought that Qin Feng was not satisfied, after all, Huangpu Invincible only knew that gold was worth money outside, how much it was worth, and what kind of purchasing power it could have, Huangpu Invincible didn't know much about it.

"Elder Huangpu, it's not that it's not enough, it's too much, I don't know how to take it out."

Qin Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this, there were a total of four hundred pieces of gold of ten kilograms each on these two carriages, that is, a full 4,000 kilograms of gold, which was also four tons.

When Qin Feng entered this space, it was at the turn of the century, and the price of gold outside at that time was about one hundred yuan a gram, and if it was jewelry, it would be more expensive.

In this way, one kilogram of gold is worth 100,000 RMB.

And 4,000 kilograms of gold is a huge sum of 400 million, if you just buy explosives, these 400 million huge money can buy explosives, I am afraid that this space can be ploughed from beginning to end.

Qin Feng didn't think he had a lot of money, the key was how he was going to take this gold out?

Even if there were several chemical strength masters in Qin Feng's group, the weight was not a problem, but the volume of these four tons of gold was not small, and they couldn't carry it with them at all.

Another problem is that it is also a big trouble for Qin Feng to bring out this batch of gold. The amount of four tons of gold is not something that those small gold shops can eat, and it is necessary to find some large jewelry companies with deep pockets.

But the origin of these gold is unknown, and those jewelry companies may not have the courage to buy it, and if it is sold abroad, then Qin Feng will definitely be targeted by the national security. After all, the buying and selling of gold is regulated by the state.

Thinking about the trouble that would lead to taking the gold out, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Lord, there is no problem in bringing this gold out of there."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Huangpu Invincible felt a little strange, because he knew the peculiarity of that passage, not to mention two carriages, even a few more could pass through guò.

"I know there's no problem with taking it out, the problem is after taking it out. How do I sell this gold......"

Qin Feng replied with a wry smile, that is, a hundred years ago, except for some large transactions, very few people traded with gold, even banks, and it was rare to see such a huge amount of gold.

As for now, let alone trading in gold, it is trading with paper money and cash. Except for drug trafficking and arms smuggling, it is no longer seen. A bank card is sufficient.

Therefore, gold itself has become a commodity, and it needs to be converted into currency before it can be used, but this conversion process is beyond Qin Feng's control.

"Sell? Is gold still to be sold? After hearing Qin Feng's words, Huangpu Invincible had a stunned look on his face.

In his memory. The old guards who had been out seemed to have said that people outside would be extremely crazy when they saw this gold, let alone buy things, even anyone could buy it.

"Elder Huangpu, it's different now than before."

Qin Feng said patiently: "Use gold to buy and sell in kind. It's no longer visible outside, and each country has its own currency, and if you want to buy something, you have to use those currencies......"

Before money was produced, people often bartered and found it inconvenient, so there were shells, copper coins, and gold and silver.

However, with the further development of the economy, metal money also showed inconvenience in use, and a large number of metal coins were required for large transactions, and their weight and volume were annoying.

There is also the problem of wear and tear in the use of metal money, since the use of gold as currency, more than 20,000 tons of gold have worn out in the mint, or in people's hands, money bags and clothing pockets.

As a result, paper money as a symbol of metal currency appeared, in fact, the world's earliest paper money was Jiaozi in the Sichuan region during the Song Dynasty.

"That'...... So all this gold can't be used? ”

Huangpu Invincible was a little anxious, the gold in this space was the biggest reliance of the Great Qin Dynasty on foreign trade back then, if the gold lost its value, then there was nothing else that could be done here.

"It's not that it can't be used, it's just that it needs to be converted into a foreign currency before it can be used."

Qin Feng's explanation was dry, a question that a primary school student outside might understand, but he had to start from the beginning, otherwise Huangpu Invincible would not understand it at all.

"Then what will the Lord do when he goes out this time?" Hearing Qin Feng say that the gold was still valuable, Huangpu's invincible face softened a little, but then frowned again.

According to the prior discussion between Huangpu Invincible and Qin Feng, they not only had to bring in a large amount of explosives this time, which would be used to open mountains and take stones to build a new royal city.

In addition, things that are useful for construction, such as cement, also need a lot, although Huangpu Invincible has not spent money, but he also knows that these things need money to buy.

"Elder Huangpu, I'll figure out how to deal with the money."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I used to have some industries outside, so I tried my best to buy the things I needed here first, and after I cleared the channels for buying and selling gold, I will find a way to transport these gold out......

"That'...... That's all there is to it. "Huangpu Invincible doesn't know the situation in the outside world, he can only listen to what Qin Feng said.

"By the way, Elder Huangpu, when you let people refine gold, don't make it into such a large piece, just divide it into one hundred or two hundred grams......

Weighing the gold bricks in his hand, Qin Feng was angry and funny, such a large gold brick, it is quite appropriate to take it out and beat it, just in response to the sentence "smash people to death with money"-
