Chapter 17 What should I bring with me when I go back to modern times?

The large teleportation cooldown time of the Copycat Moonlight Treasure Box is seventy-seven forty-nine, which is 49 days.

In other words, after it was transmitted back to the modern 21st century from the Ming Dynasty, there was also a protection period of 49 hours, which was two days.

You can teleport back to the Ming Dynasty again in two days!

After the protection period, if you want to return to the Ming Dynasty from the modern 21st century, you must wait another 49 days.

Of course, in the middle of this, it is also feasible to forcibly open the copycat moonlight treasure box by means of damaging the origin and dragon qi. But that would cause great damage to the treasure box, as well as irreversible damage to one's own body and soul. The energy transmitted is also increased N times depending on the situation!

Judging from the fact that the soul is bound to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zilong estimates that if he lives in the modern era for 49 days, he may not die or be disabled, sweat!

Therefore, unless there is a special absolute necessity, he will plan strictly according to the teleportation time allocation.

You basically have to do everything you can bring.

That is, the volume and quantity are limited, and now Zhu Zilong really has to think about it, what to bring back to modern times.

From the Ming Dynasty to engage in some contemporary famous calligraphy and painting back to the modern era?

Well, the problem is that Zhu Zilong didn't know anything about this before. I don't know if these things exist in modern society, and in whose hands. Suddenly there is a point painting like xxx or Tang Bohu, who knows what trouble it will cause?

When the time comes, the modern painting will be detained, and the lawsuit will be filed, isn't this a cheat? Unless he waits until he's a master of this business!

The same goes for antiques, which are not considered for the time being until they are in the business.

The next minute, Zhu Zilong's mind flashed the big rosewood bed of the old lady of the Zhang family, which was valuable, but it was still the same sentence, the volume was too large, and he didn't know how to do it.

Wait, maybe you can bring some 100-year-old wild ginseng back?

This seems to be really okay, so I'll write it down first. Zhu Zilong wrote down the two words of ginseng on the paper first.

What is coming from again? That's right, gold, gold is worth a lot. In modern times, it has risen again, asking for more than 300 yuan a gram.

In the past few days, I have taken the time to exchange the remaining mirrors and some modern products in the travel bag for silver tickets, anyway, because the owner of the Zhang family is using it recently, he is also famous, and some large families are said to be inquiring. Change more than two or three thousand taels of silver tickets, it is estimated that there is no big problem!

Then exchange the silver ticket for gold or gold ingots and take it back to modern times.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong hurriedly called a member of the Zhang family.

"Young Master Zhu, what are your orders?" The subordinate named Zhang Dabao asked respectfully.

"Dabao, do you know where to sell wild ginseng? Also, What is the ratio of silver to gold? Zhu Zilong asked.

"Young master, I don't know anything about medicinal materials, but the pharmacies in the city are all time-honored, so there should be. When it comes to the ratio of gold and silver exchange, this small one is quite clear. When the founding of the country was one to four, a few years ago it was one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and this year it is about the same price! ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Dabao's words, Zhu Zilong's eyes lit up in an instant.

One tael in the Ming Dynasty: about equal to ten coins (31.25 grams).

To change the exchange ratio mentioned by Zhang Dabao, that is, more than 300 grams of silver can be exchanged for more than 30 grams of gold. (10 taels of silver for a tael of gold)!

This was normal in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not normal to put this exchange ratio in the modern 21st century. It can even be said that it is very abnormal!

In modern times, more than 300 yuan a gram of gold, one or two Ming Dynasty gold (mixed with a little copper) minus impurities, more than 20 grams is always there, right?

That is one or two Ming Dynasty gold, which can be exchanged for deducting handling fees and benefits to others in modern times, which is about 5,000-6,000 yuan.

And more than 300 grams of silver, less than a catty. How much is it in the modern 21st century?

According to the modern price of only three to four yuan per gram of silver, more than 300 grams minus impurities, 300 grams is only about 1,000 yuan.

That is to say, according to the exchange of one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, going back and forth between the modern and Ming dynasties, there will be a profit difference of NN times when it changes hands!

At that time, about 3,000 taels of silver were used in the Ming Dynasty and exchanged for about 300 taels of gold.

The cost of 10 taels of silver is equivalent to about 1,000 yuan, the cost of 100 taels of silver is 10,000 yuan, the cost of 1,000 taels of silver is 100,000 yuan, and the cost of 3,000 taels of silver is about 300,000 yuan.

However, 300 taels (about 8,000 grams after subtracting impurities) of gold is only about 2 million in modern times.

The cost is two or three thousand taels of silver, about two or three hundred thousand yuan. As soon as it changes hands, it is about 2 million yuan!

This business is done. Ha ha!

And it is easy to carry, the density of gold is very large, and a few dozen kilograms may not fit into a small box. What's more, it's only about ten pounds?

However, the thought of just taking the gold back with nothing seemed to be something was right.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong came to Zhang Jingzheng and proposed that there were still some items to be sold, but Zhang Jingzheng said in one breath that he was going to buy them. At that moment, he brought Zhu Zilong a silver ticket of 3,000 taels, which saved him his effort.

He also knew that the old Zhang family had money, either they could use it themselves, and he could make a lot of money without changing hands, so both parties were very satisfied.

I heard Zhang Jingzheng say that there was indeed wild ginseng for sale in the pharmacy in the city, and even Zhang's own store had some of it.

But when the ginseng that had seen Zhang's Mansion didn't seem to be used for a long time, and the year was not enough, Zhu Zilong also took a few people from the Zhang family and went to the old pharmacy in the city.

There are several pharmacies in the city, and Zhu Zilong goes to the largest one.

The shopkeeper was very polite, and when he heard that he wanted to buy good wild ginseng, he immediately invited him into the inner hall.

With a smile on his face, he held a box in both hands and handed it to Zhu Zilong and said: "Since it is the Zhu Divine Doctor of the Zhang family, it can be hidden, so it is natural to show the treasure of the store." ”

Zhu Zilong took it and looked at it carefully, there was a wild ginseng with a red cloth backing in the box, and the shape really looked like a child, and the roots were well preserved. (Of course, as an ordinary person over there in modern times, he can't understand whether this is wild ginseng or not.) )

However, during the Ming Dynasty, there was no technology to artificially grow ginseng, and the yield of ginseng was still quite large, as long as it was ginseng, it was basically wild.

Don't worry about quality!

"This wild ginseng weighs three taels and eight dollars, and the best master in our store has seen it, saying that it is more than 100 years old." The shopkeeper continued.

(Note: The units of the Ming Dynasty are still very different from those of the modern 21st century, and this ginseng is a dry product, and it has to weigh several times when it is fresh.) )

Zhu Zilong was very satisfied with this ginseng, so he asked the price, and got a reply that was close to the ratio of one or two ginseng to about two or three taels of silver.

This price is about the same as the record in the Ming history books, and Zhu Zilong didn't think much about it. Bought it smoothly!

In fact, the price of ginseng was only several times cheaper in the past, but it is several times cheaper than it is now.

In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, under the influence of speculation, the price of ginseng began to rise all the way, and it became an expensive commodity in short supply. Of course, it also contributed to the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhachi, the most effective means of accumulating wealth in the peaceful and strong phase (1583~1618) friendly to the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the price of ginseng was "almost the same as the price of silver", and now it is even higher.

Indirectly, the Ming Dynasty pit itself!
