Chapter 2 Primitive Accumulation
in the room.
Seeing Qin Feng, who had reappeared in shape, raised his hand slightly, sixty bags of rice and flour appeared out of thin air, stacked into a small pile, and Zhao Yuanjin's eyes suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance.
He took out a dagger, carefully cut open the bag, grabbed a handful of white rice from it, and put it under the lamp to look at it, with an excited look on his brows.
Although the amount of this batch of grain is not very large, it is only about ten stones, but it proves that this mysterious immortal chief is indeed capable of getting food for him from unknown means.
"What do you think?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Good...... Very good. ”
Zhao Yuan nodded hurriedly, and said continuously: "If the Immortal Elder can continue to get enough food for me, Zhao will definitely reward him heavily." ”
"Okay, let's talk about the price of the trade in the future." Qin Feng said.
Since he insisted on only accepting gold at present, the two sides agreed on the ratio of exchanging one tael of gold for three stones of grain after some discussion, and obtained three thousand stones of grain for Zhao Yuanjin in the shortest possible time.
According to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and in the prosperous heyday of the early years of the founding of the country, the household department of the imperial court stipulated that the price of two stones of white rice was one or two lines of silver, and one stone of white rice was equivalent to about one hundred catties. In fact, with the gradual increase of the country's population and the changes in agricultural harvests over the years, this price has been fluctuating and rising.
By the end of the imperial court, when natural disasters continued and the people were struggling to make a living, the price of rice in the capital had risen sharply by more than ten times, and in those local provinces where famine occurred, grain had risen to an unbelievable level.
This is normal, in the troubled times when the smoke is everywhere and people's lives are as cheap as grass, even ordinary solid people will go bankrupt in large numbers and become unsustainable. The poor people can only eat the bark of the tree and change the seeds. However, many profiteers took the opportunity to collude with the government to hoard and raise prices, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy grain with money.
Qin Feng's heart felt a little guilty for a second. After all, the world where he lives is economically prosperous and the productive forces are developed, and the price of rice and flour is quite low, and two or three yuan can buy one catty. So with this exchange ratio, he has earned too much. Traveling back and forth between the two worlds once is nearly ten times the profit easily.
However, from Zhao Yuanjin's position, he didn't feel that he was at a loss. Now is a special period of siege by the imperial army, the situation is as dangerous as eggs, food is a life-saving thing, but gold and silver cannot be eaten.
In the past year or so, he ordered the execution of many officials and wealthy people who opposed him, and his family property and children were confiscated. Although it took a lot of money to recruit troops and horses, march and fight, there were still a lot of goods on hand, and there was no pressure to find this immortal chief to buy 3,000 stone of food for emergency relief.
As long as you survive this most difficult period, and then regain your strength and make a comeback, are you still afraid that there will be no land, gold and silver?
After the discussion, Zhao Yuanjin immediately took out another three hundred taels of gold and handed it to Qin Feng as a deposit, and he promised to get the grain as soon as possible.
As for how long this Zhao Yuanjin can last after getting enough food, he actually doesn't care so much, his benefits have already arrived. If this festival makes the adult really finished, it's a big deal to find a way to find a suitable person to trade again.
In an instant, Qin Feng's figure reappeared in the rental house.
After running around outside, he felt a little tired, so he hurriedly took a shower. After changing my clothes, I went to the supermarket downstairs and bought a black chicken, a bundle of tender asparagus, two catties of tenderloin and a fresh carp, and a bunch of beer, planning to go back to make a delicious meal to comfort myself.
Qin Feng is a medical student who is about to graduate, and the university he attends is okay, but it is not easy to find a job these days. What's more, as an international metropolis, Binhai is one of the best in the country due to its high cost of living and great competitive pressure.
A hard-working young man like him, who was born in the civilian class and has no relationship or background, is destined to have an easy life after leaving the campus.
Yesterday when he came back from drinking with a few classmates who were also depressed, when the tired Qin Feng lay on the bed and fell asleep, he vaguely felt a sharp pain in his body, and it seemed that a voice was saying something in his head, but he couldn't remember a word.
When he woke up again, he found that there was a mysterious saucer-shaped battleship in his body, and the purple-gold hull was radiant and radiant, revealing a gorgeous and noble aura. There was a small dimensional space hidden in the ship's body, and the information that naturally appeared in his mind made him understand what kind of anti-heavenly encounter he had.
With the help of the battleship crossing for the first time, it is normal to be nervous and panicked. However, after Qin Feng quickly adapted, he seemed much calmer the second time, and luckily met Zhao Yuan's envoy, and the next thing was logical.
He had speculated that if it weren't for the desperate situation of the leader of the rebel army, he suddenly appeared in such a strange way, would he be killed as a monster? There should be a good possibility.
With the successful completion of the first transaction, and then the arrival of the second gold, Qin Feng suddenly found that his primitive accumulation had been completed in such an unbelievable way!
From now on, he is no longer the hard-pressed student with an uncertain future and a helpless background, but a rich man who really has the opportunity to stay in the coastal magic capital. With the special ability to travel back and forth between the two worlds, it is not too easy to make a fortune by reselling resources and communicating with each other.
The kitchen was filled with the jingle of pots and pans, and the wonders of the future life were sketched in my mind, and after a long work, a steaming meal was served. Stewed black chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, braised carp, and fried asparagus with meat can be regarded as do-it-yourself.
Seeing that it was still early, Qin Feng decided to go out again, dispose of the gold in batches, and go to the suburbs to rent a warehouse tomorrow.
Three hundred taels of gold is just over ten kilograms, and it is divided into several houses, which is nothing to those large chain gold stores with strong strength. In a cosmopolitan city as prosperous as Marina, their branches all over the city add up to a lot of sales every day. The turnover of private gold shops and pawnshops is also not less.
So as long as you are low-key and careful enough, don't take off too much at a time, there will be no trouble at all, and future harvests can be handled like this.
Of course, if you have to pretend to be forced to show off your wealth, throw dozens or hundreds of kilograms of gold at a time, attract the attention of mysterious relevant departments, or be targeted by forces with bad intentions, then it is purely your own death and you can't blame others.
It's just that Qin Feng also has some difficulties in his heart, and with the increase in the number of transactions in the future, it means that there will be more and more lucrative gains in his hands. At that time, how to deal with it in a low-key and safe way has become a big problem.
When Zhao Yuanjin negotiated with him, he once mentioned trading things such as silver, jewelry and jade, cultural relics and antiques, but he politely refused.
Today's silver can only be regarded as an ordinary industrial metal, which is not worth much at all, only a few thousand yuan per kilogram, and the purity of silver in ancient times is not high. Although the jewelry and jade are good, Qin Feng's understanding of this aspect is a blank, and it is troublesome to deal with it.
As for the water of the cultural relics and antiques industry, it is even deeper, not to mention that it is just a parallel world similar to ancient China.
Another option is precious wood, and when you have a certain foundation in the real world in the future, you can consider shipping some rosewood, golden silk nanmu, rosewood and the like, if there is production in that world.
Finally, some precious herbs such as wild ginseng, cordyceps, tiger bones, bear bile, rhino horn, etc. are also good options. It's just that these things that can be used to save lives at critical moments can easily attract the attention of powerful people once they appear, so we must also be cautious. It's okay to take out some once in a while, but if you have too many of them, you're bound to get into trouble.
After a comprehensive comparison, gold is the most valuable and easiest resource to realize at this stage, so Qin Feng will insist on only this thing.
“…… You have to find a suitable and stable channel to deal with these things. Qin Feng thought silently in his heart.
Perhaps in the future, after having a certain economic strength, you can consider temporarily leaving China and traveling to Southeast Asia or Australia. In these countries, where the governments are not strong enough and have relatively weak control over the domestic situation, many things will be easier to do. Most of the things like gold are traded by weighing and valuing them without asking where they come from.
I walked around the city, found a few gold shops to get rid of the gold in batches, and then drove back to the rental house to sleep.
……
Otherworldly, beyond the county.
The camp of the imperial counterinsurgency army was neat and orderly, the walls were tight, the flags were displayed, and the cold-faced soldiers with cold faces could be seen patrolling back and forth in the camp from time to time, in an orderly manner.
Meng Luo's heart was bored, he slept for a while and got up again, put on his armor and carried a knife out of the camp, only to see the thin rain falling constantly, the sky was covered with black clouds, and occasionally a dazzling electric light could be seen flashing in the distant sky.
Looking into the distance, the county town was silent at night, and the tall city walls were like giant beasts lurking silently in the dark.
“…… These damned rebels and thieves! ”
He scolded hatefully in his heart, and then his face darkened again, and he sighed a little dejectedly.
The siege of the city for many days, the bloody battles every day continued, although Zhao Yuanjin was a loss of soldiers and a dead end, but the loss of the imperial court soldiers and horses was also not small.
At the age of twenty-six, this guy was admitted to the examination to make a name for himself, his family is quite wealthy, he is good at winning people's hearts, and he does have some talents, which is far from being comparable to ordinary rogue mud legs. In addition, there are still a few generals who can fight under him, and they have survived until now in the face of such an unfavorable situation, and they have not easily collapsed like those homeless teams that have not formed a climate, and encountered big setbacks.
Of course, by now, the imperial army can be said to be victorious, and the breakthrough of the county is just around the corner, and then this Zhao Yuanjin will have nowhere to escape.
It's just that today's imperial court has accumulated many evils, treacherous and treacherous, coupled with natural disasters for many years, the world's homeless rebels are endless, and they can't be suppressed, even if this Zhao Yuanjin is destroyed, how many days can he continue his life for the imperial court?
"Why did the general sigh?"
Qing Jun's peaceful voice came, but it was Zhu Yuntai, a staff member of the army, a middle-aged man with a thin figure, dressed in blue clothes, and his eyes were bright and sharp.
"I really don't know how long this battle will last." Meng Luo gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist and said quietly.
Zhu Yuntai said with a smile: "Zhao Yuanjin is now at the end of his rope, but he is just relying on the solid city wall of the county town and stubbornly resisting. According to the news from the city, the grain and grass in the city can only last for three days at most, and the wounded thieves lack medical treatment and medicine, and their morale is low. Even if we besiege but not attack, the breach of the city is just around the corner. ”
"That's good,"
Meng Luo said faintly: "However, Jidu County has been occupied by the traitor Lu Kang and his army two days ago. There is also Shangyang County, which is also unstable, Qishui County has been surrounded by rebels, and Yuhua County has been looted after being broken by the thief army, and there are many casualties among the soldiers and civilians......"
He shook his head and didn't continue, and Zhu Yuntai also smiled bitterly. Now that the national fortune is difficult and the world has entered an eventful autumn, such hard work and fighting fires everywhere is just talking about personnel.
If the court is overturned in the future, and the overall situation is irretrievable, where should they go?
