Chapter 49 1866 Germany (1)

In view of the good price of sugar last time, Huang Xuan deliberately bought more than 10 tons, in addition to 5,000 tons of wheat and rice, and about 300 tons of corn, which was widely cultivated in Europe at the end of the 17th century.

With more than 70 million tonnes of goods in transit each year, the port of Santos has established countless import and export companies and agencies in the neighboring cities of Santos and São Paulo.

Due to the level of the base, its requirements for materials have gradually decreased, and basically as long as the substances can be naturally degraded in a short time, they can be carried with a small amount of energy. The short period of time referred to here can be decay, or it can be dissolved and lost its form.

A small trading company quickly bought enough grain to be shipped to Santos, where the price of medium-quality wheat was US$290 per tonne, Thai rice was US$330, and corn was US$150, which together was equivalent to more than 900 yuan.

In addition, Huang Xuan also specially ordered a set of clothes made of natural fibers instead of artificial fibers, no zippers, no buttons, and the style was as retro as possible, although Lorraine said that this was useless, but the psychological comfort for Huang Xuan was huge, better than nothing, and being stripped naked was the ugliest.

Prepare to stop, and on the afternoon of June 5th, set off at the starting point of the extraordinarily long period declared by Lorraine.

……

“P138T1866W3890。”

Huang Xuan squinted his eyes and stepped out of the air, T1866? 19th century? Perhaps the only thing he knew about this era was the Opium Wars.

"Where are we?"

Surrounded by thick oak trees, and occasionally a few poplars and the like stand tall above the trees, with lush branches overhead and thick fallen leaves under their feet, which squeak when stepped on.

Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The similarity is 96%. But now it's called Prussia. ”

"Kaiserslautern?" Huang Xuan patted his forehead and said, "Team? Football? ”

"There are fewer than 10,000 people here." Lorraine's voice was muffled in Huang Xuan's ears, he scanned the surroundings and said, "We are in the big forest, it may take 1 day to get out." ”

Huang Xuan looked at his feet and said in his heart I'm sorry brother, I forgot to buy you a pair of good shoes.

Lorraine continued to scan his surroundings, he had been using energy much more frequently since the aluminium smelter had been able to supply electricity steadily, but now that the base had been moved to Brazil, the loss of energy transmission was gradually increasing.

"I thought the teleportation point you chose was all walked by someone before." Huang Xuan tightened his clothes, identified the direction and began to walk.

"That's true, but after the oscillation of time and space, the plane always changes a little." Lorraine didn't like wasting time either, and he waited a moment and continued, "We can stay on this plane for about five days at the moment, and hopefully you can find valuable goods. ”

"It looks like the base upgrade does have some use." Huang Xuan said as he pulled out his steps: "But five days is still too short. ”

"The length of stay depends on the time period when P112 leaves, and only a longer period of time when leaving can be proportionally longer, and the base's current analytical capabilities have been enhanced, but longer periods are not always guaranteed."

"Got it." Huang Xuan became impatient, "It takes 1 day to walk, but fortunately you don't need to walk back, otherwise you don't have to do anything." ”

……

In the second half of the 19th century, when Germany was just beginning to unify, Bismarck had become Prussia's Chancellor and Foreign Minister four years earlier, and in his first speech to the Prussian Parliament, he loudly declared: "Germany is not concerned with Prussian liberalism, but with power...... Prussia had to gather its strength for a favorable opportunity, which we have missed several times...... The great problems of our time cannot be solved by speeches and majority resolutions — which are the mistakes of 1848 and 1849 — but by iron and blood. ”

Prussia won a decisive victory over Austria in 66, now under the control of the Iron Chancellor, while its neighbor France would continue to wage war four years later.

Lorraine's introduction gave Huang Xuan hope that no matter what era it is, at least for thousands of years as Huang Xuan knows, any war on Earth will require a lot of food, and the more the better.

It seems that there is an intrinsic reason why grain would become the standard currency for dimensional transactions.

Walking in the forest is a disgusting thing, and the forest here is no more than the small groves of trees in a scenic area. Bird droppings are more tolerable in deserted forests, reptiles are more personal preference, but rotting leaves not only emit a foul smell, but also hide mammal excrement underneath you, slipping and falling if you are not careful, and worse, being damp near denser trees will preserve more children and grandchildren, and of course, more content can be hidden.

Huang Xuan soon couldn't stand it anymore, he leaned on a branch and said, "Why can't you teleport me directly to where you want to go?" Can't you teleport within the plane? ”

"Time cannot be determined when space is determined, only the base itself can move within space, because the base needs to occupy a coordinate. In fact, there is only so much that a plane base can do in other planes. ”

"At least it's a lot more than I can do." Huang Xuan shook his feet in annoyance.

"Not necessarily." Lorraine said modestly: "The plane base can be understood as the air force of your era, only the air force that has air supremacy can play a role, but this cannot replace the role of infantry." ”

Huang Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "You say I'm an infantryman? ”

"If you think the Army sounds better."

"Forget it."

While chatting wantonly, a whining sound sounded in the distance, and Lorraine raised her voice and said, "Congratulations, there's a sawmill nearby." ”

In Huang Xuan's eyes, the sky looks much bluer at the moment, and the feet are not so slippery, and the sound of the sawmill is of course more pleasant, well, except for a little noise.

There were only 3 workers and a woman cooking in the lumberyard, all farmers from Bavaria.

Kaiserslautern is in Prussia, on the edge of the Rhine, near Bavaria, where red sausages and beer are produced, and the most famous Tsingtao beer in China is also from the German colonial period.

Huang Xuan's arrival was strange to the workers, but it was only necessary to say that getting lost would solve all the problems. Germany at this time had not yet entered the fog of militarism, and of course, no one had yet discovered the question of the superiority or inferiority of the Aryan blood.

Lorraine's German was good, but his Bavarian accent was a little tasty, but fortunately, the workers didn't mind, and they put down their tools and invited Huang Xuan to eat small red sausage and vegetable soup.

There are very few red sausages, only two of which are the size of finger joints, but there are a lot of vegetable soups, but to be honest, the taste is not very good, Huang Xuan held his breath and drank it.

"What's the biggest city nearby?" Although he had already received an answer from Lorraine, Huang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Kaiserslautern."

Huang Xuan's answer made Huang Xuan very helpless, and he continued to ask with some reluctance: "How far is Hamburg from here?" Can it arrive in 3 days? According to Lorraine, Hamburg should be the most economically developed city in Germany.

At this time, the female worker served the black bread and said with a smile: "If you go to Hamburg, you have to rent a carriage in the town, and you won't be able to get there in three days." ”

"Frankfurt?"

The female worker shook her head with a smile.

"Berlin?"

Still shaking his head.

"What about Paris?" Huang Xuan's last hope is here on the border of France.

Of course, it is also impossible.

Huang Xuan gave up and sat down, and said, "It seems that I can't buy a bunch of famous paintings to go home." ”

"Exchanging a large amount of goods for a small amount of goods is not cost-effective in plane trading." According to Einstein's theory, any matter can be converted to energy, so the essence of plane trading is to save energy, after all, it is uneconomical to directly produce matter with a large amount of energy, and if you can directly get the required matter, you can also save the corresponding energy, which is also the theoretical basis of the free plane theorists.

However, these are ineffective for Huang Xuan, and his purpose is not to get energy, but to get money.
