Double gift for shopping, big points giveaway. In Professor Luo's plane, points are the standard configuration in shopping malls, and there are many more point cards in people's wallets than bank cards. The Lin brothers' shopping trip in Dayuan, in the end, naturally inevitably included the process of issuing cards.

Later that day, in the stilted building where the brothers lived alone, Professor Luo came to visit the guests with gifts. It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is just a sample, which can only be seen, not taken away. While placing the samples on the table, Professor Luo explained the integral system to the two of them, and after the explanation, he took his leave.

At this time, it was already dark, and the kerosene lamp, the zippo lighter, and the glass mirror were all shining on the table, and the bright light reflected the surprised faces of the Lin brothers.

These few exhibits can't be made at the moment. Kerosene lamps and lighters are short of oil, so there is no need to count on it in the short term; There is no material restriction on glass products, and a glass kiln is being built in the kiln area at present.

It is precisely because they can't be made that these few good things have become the points exchange in Professor Luo's mouth - the Lin brothers want to buy kerosene lamps, and they can only redeem them after shipping more goods to Daguan and accumulating enough points, as for when they can save enough points, it depends on when the oil is dug out..... The final interpretation of this integral rule belongs to Professor Luo.

......

"These guys are really clever enough to do all these good things." After Professor Luo left, Security Officer Lin couldn't put down the zippo and played with the zippo, and in the hut, which was much brighter than usual, there was a crisp "ding" sound of a lighter from time to time.

"It's not easy to do about these things, just look at the points of the Rausch." Lin Baoquan was lying on the table at this time, and said faintly while fascinating the brightness of the kerosene lamp.

"If you want me to say, this iron shell should be gone, and replaced with a gold and silver ornamented shell...... Glass lamp, gold and silver lamp, and this non-smoking smoking, good boy, fifth brother, do you say that the big families in Fuzhou City, are you willing to buy one for 500 taels? Lin Baoan saw that the fifth brother cared about the kerosene lamp, and his eyes lit up at this time, so he casually came up with a mooncake route to occupy the market with packaging.

Lin Baoquan didn't answer, sat up, crossed Erlang's legs, picked up the kerosene bottle on the table, the glass mirror, and he began to look at it carefully.

After a long time, Lin Baoan raised his head, and at this moment his eyes seemed to be much brighter, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Not counting the silver in the public account, how much cash do you have in your hometown?" ”

"Private banking?" Lin Baoan didn't reflect for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "This is about not much, more than a thousand taels, I have to go back and ask my mother-in-law." ”

"Why is it so?" Lin Baoquan frowned when he heard the number.

"It's all on the goods." Lin Baoan saw that his brother's face was not good, and replied with a little expectation: "I bought a brocade shop during the New Year's Day, bought some new Quanzhou brocade, and bought a small house...... We don't have much silver, aren't all the big heads in the public? ”

Lin Baoquan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "I want to buy a boat this time, and you want to scrape together the money to come out." ”

"Buying a boat? The big head of buying a boat should also be ...... from the public account" Lin Baoan said this, suddenly stopped his mouth, and after glancing at his brother, Lin Baoan understood.

"How long are we going to keep that bunch of waste?" Lin Baoquan saw that his brother understood, so he no longer concealed his thoughts: "You and I will buy the new ship with money, don't want other shares, and if you don't fight for such a good deal, when will you fight?" ”

Lin Baoan had fully understood what his clan brother meant at this time, and after thinking about it, his face was embarrassed: "Fifth brother, since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say, but I am afraid that the silver will not be used: Xing'an Ping was originally bought back for 2,000 silver, and if you prepare a shipload of goods, you will have to pay 10,000 taels of silver, we don't have so much!" ”

"Two thousand pieces of silver is not enough!" Lin Baoquan stood up at this time, and kept pacing back and forth in the house: "The new ship is the capital for you and my brother to settle down, and if you want to buy a big ship with 800 materials, the ship materials must be good, and the ship must be new, I am afraid that three or four thousand silver will be enough." ”

Ignoring the clan brother who opened his mouth wide at the moment, Lin Baoquan became more and more excited the more he said: "Sell, sell them all!" The silk shop is gone, the small servant is sold to the hall, and the mother-in-law's head jewelry is taken away! Let's go back this time, but the days are not enough, and we have to make up the money for the ship and the goods when the head is lost! ”

"Alas, it's a pity that little guy looks handsome, my father likes it." Lin Baoan saw that the fifth brother had made up his mind, and he had always been the only one to protect him, so he didn't have a word at this time, quickly changed his thinking, and began to think about how to sell the little guy from his father.

"Your father! Yes, the coffin buried by your dead ghost dad will also be dug up, well, in this way, counting the old books of my family...... Friends on the rivers and lakes raise some more, and it will be almost inseparable. ”

Lin Baoan's expression was already a little sluggish: "Wouldn't it be cheaper to borrow a little from the clan?" ”

"It's better to borrow less money from that waste." Lin Baoquan looked at the clan brother with a "you know" look.

After seeing the clan brother nodding, he said: "These people are not on a stable foothold at the moment, and it is the time for a thousand dollars to buy horse bones." You and I only have a ship of iron material this time, and we have obtained many benefits of observing the sky and positioning, which shows that this place is in urgent need of ship merchants. ”

Lin Baoquan walked to the table at this time, gently flicked the stamens protruding in the middle of the plate of wrought iron flowers on the table with his fingers, and then said proudly: "The ship we bought at home, you and I have the final say on what to load." It's just that the first few trips only transport iron materials, and with the integral method to support the bottom, we don't lose money. ”

After a pause, he continued: "At present, the news of the opening of the port has not yet spread, and we came here by coincidence, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the news. In my opinion, no matter how expensive or low, more is the winner, and coarse goods such as iron take advantage. Wait for the points to be saved, these gold and silver cups, crystal mirrors, let's redeem them first, and then get them to Fuzhou and Hangzhou, hehe, hehe. ”

When Lin Baoquan said this, he glanced at his clan brother, and suddenly there was a burst of signature villain laughter from the hut.

......

Early the next morning, the energetic Lin brothers came to the door and planned to discuss with Professor Luo to buy another set of measuring instruments - since they want to buy a new ship, they can't just have one set, the sea route is troubled, and it is common for the fleet to be blown away by strong winds.

The robot cat was still smiling, and after hearing about the brothers' idea of buying a boat, he didn't seem too surprised, and as if he had been prepared, he took out the pearls from his magic pocket on the spot...... Actually, it's a line of credit, Huabei.

Professor Luo said that he is very supportive of Xian Kunzhong to start his own business, so he is willing to use low-interest loans to help the brothers tide over the financial difficulties in the early stage.

Of course, shiny pearls are not so easy to hold, and then someone starts to make conditions.

A topographic map of Funing Prefecture, which the Lin brothers are most familiar with, was shown by Professor Luo. The scale of this map is relatively fine, and some special places have been thoughtfully marked in Huali and traditional Chinese characters.

Professor Luo first pointed to a place marked "Yulin Silver Field" at the top of the map, and asked the two of you if they knew where this was.

How could the Lin brothers not know about Yinchang?

Located in Fuding Radon Spring Reserve, later called Dieshi Township, this land is rich in mineral resources, with a large number of lead and zinc ores, and is associated with 13 kinds of non-ferrous metals such as silver, copper, chromium, sulfur and iron.

In the Song Dynasty, the Yulin silver field has been developed, which is controlled by the government to excavate, and the Ming Dynasty is generally the same, and the silver mine is officially operated.

Since the brothers know the place, it is convenient. Professor Luo then took out several photographs of black and gray stones and handed them to the brothers.

While the two brothers were going over and over to study the "sketch", Professor Luo told them: Send some people to find this kind of stone near the silver mining area, and bring the big man after finding it.

and the stone of the general price of pig iron...... The two brothers of the Lin family, who were originally full of questions, instantly shut up at this moment, and there was no more nonsense.

Seeing that the brothers knew each other, Professor Luo no longer talked about it, but just told them that the people sent to collect stone samples must remember the points clearly, and in addition, the waste rocks mined by the Yinkeng Iron Works in various places should also bring back some samples.

The purpose of crossing the crowd is chrome ore.

The output of chrome ore in Fuding is not much, the taste is also low, and most of them are associated ores, and the standards of future generations are not cost-effective mining. There is no way to make this decision, can you make a little calculation, who makes the high-grade chrome ore in South Asia out of reach now?

After talking about chrome ore, here is another kind of stone: pyrophyllite.

Pyrophyllite contains aluminum, which is an important industrial raw material. Crossing the crowd is now in dire need of aluminium to make refractory bricks for electric furnace lids, as well as deoxidizers for steelmaking.

Pyrophyllite is a little cheaper...... 2 cents a pound of silver. Because pyrophyllite is everywhere in Fujian, there are many production areas near Fuding on the map, and pyrophyllite, as the name suggests, has a delicate and shiny appearance, which can be used to make seals, which is very easy to distinguish.

The brothers continued to carry a stack of color photographs of flowers and stones in their arms......

......

And then there's the last item: people.

Professor Luo bluntly told the two of them: There is a shortage of people at the moment. If the two of them feel that the living conditions in Chihkan New District are still acceptable, then they can spread the news, and by the way, they can bring some poor people who can't survive in Fubei to live here in peace.

In real history, this year, the Fujian Association suffered a major drought, and Zheng Zhilong, who had obtained the official position, took out a large sum of money with the support of Xiong Wencan to "summon tens of thousands of hungry people", which was the first large-scale migration from the mainland to the other side of the sea in history.

The traversers are now preparing to emigrate from across the sea, including letting the Lin family brothers spread in Fubei to have food and drink...... Everybody has the news to practice this kind of thing.

In this way, no matter what the situation in 1628 is, whether the crossing forces can eliminate the Zheng Zhilong gang as scheduled and hook up with Xiong Wencan, the big people can get a piece of the pie from the great drought in Fujian.
