Chapter 21: Let's Go on an Adventure (Avoid Debts)...
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Doraemon is a defective cat-type machine with no job or inheritance, so where did he get the money to buy so many magical props?
-- This is a question that often pops up in Wang Qiu's mind when he was a child when he read the cartoons of the machine.
Until today, he has a not very perfect reasonable explanation: this product is actually a "card slave" that is consumed before swiping a card to play!
In order to change the impoverished situation of the Nobi family in the 22nd century, the first owner of Doraemon, Nobi's great-grandson, Nobi, brought the defective cat-type childcare machine Qì person given by a friend to Nobi's side, hoping to change the fate of his grandfather and Nobi's family.
As a result, the original Doraemon was very poor, with only a few disposal items in his pocket, and barely a dime.
With Nobi's fate corrected, he will become a civil servant of the Ministry of the Environment with both dignity and high income in the future. In the 22nd century, the Nobi family has also risen from a destitute household to a small rich. Nobi Seshu also has the ability to squeeze out a portion of his pocket money and use it to fund Doraemon.
However, even in the families of the rich, the pocket money of children is limited, not to mention that Nobi Shishu himself has to spend money in the twenty-second century. Therefore, the funds that Doraemon can get from the 22nd century are still small, and they are intermittent, intermittent, and unreliable.
For the machine qì cat who likes to play online mail order, such a small amount of money is not enough to even stuff his teeth - although the various magical props in Doraemon's pocket are basically discounted and eliminated products in the future shopping mall, and they can't be cheaper, but they still can't stop him from buying a large number!
Moreover, sometimes Doraemon also buys some very luxurious high-priced goods.
-- Just like those housewives who can't control their shopping, they can't help but want to buy it every time they see something strange.
For this reason, Doraemon must find a way to make his own money.
At first, he worked diligently in the 22nd century, but it didn't take long for him to become lazy, feeling that the pay was too small and the work was too hard.
Next, he began to take an opportunistic approach, saving money in Nobita's bank, and then withdrawing it in the twenty-second century, thus enjoying a huge interest, but he was soon warned and punished by the space-time banking system - the people in the bank are not fools!
What's more, under normal circumstances, the accumulation of interest on deposits in banks will always not keep up with inflation and currency depreciation.
Doraemon then tries to use a time machine to collect antiques from ancient times and sell them in the 22nd century. Unfortunately, in the 22nd century, when every household has a space-time machine, the price of antiques is really not very high. And as soon as he sold more times, he was warned by the Time and Space Authority.
-- Although there are many people in the future who travel to ancient times, it is not permissible to change history too drastically. Of course, how to define this "too large" is up to the relevant leaders of the Time and Space Administration, but unfortunately Doraemon does not have such deep connections.
Fortunately, in several great adventures of punishing evil and promoting good, Doraemon received some thank-you gifts sporadically, and even a bonus from the Space-Time Authority, which made his wallet a little more generous, but overall, he still couldn't make ends meet.
As a result, Doraemon, who was lazy and lazy, finally degenerated into a "card slave" who consumed before swiping cards to play.
-- Relying on the transfer between different credit cards, the food and the financial means of financial investment, Doraemon had a very comfortable life. But the problem is that as the saying goes, many injustices will kill oneself, and the financial game of creating something out of nothing will always collapse one day.
All in all, after overdrawing a full 300 credit cards, because of a financial investment failure in the 22nd century, the funds on hand are extremely scarce, and it is no longer possible to continue to play the financial game of tossing ten balls with two hands...... The unlucky Doraemon is finally in the east window!
ββ¦β¦ Although we had thrown everything we could find into the automatic pawn machine, we still hadn't scraped together enough money to pay off the loan. β
Pointing to the strange machine in the center of the room, Nobita replied with a sad face, "...... Doraemon swiped the card so hard! According to the notice on the bank's black letter, in three hours, the thugs of the time and space debt collection company will come to force the settlement, what should we do?!! β
ββ¦β¦ I see. By the way, Doraemon, how much do you owe? Maybe I can fund you a little bit too. β
Looking at Nobita, who was crying bitterly, Wang Qiu recalled that he still had a little dollar on him, and wondered if he was sending charcoal in the snow.
Then, he was overturned by a frightening number of heavenly figures.
ββ¦β¦ Well, according to the concept of money in the 22nd century, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to describe. In short, if you exchange the Japanese yen on Nobita's side, then it is about 300 billion yen! Doraemon touched his cheek and said with a look of embarrassment.
ββ¦β¦ 300 billion yen?!! Wang Qiu was stupid when he heard it," ...... What the hell are you doing? Losers don't have such a defeat! β
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing, it's just normal online shopping......" Doraemon replied with some weakness.
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
ββJust because of online shopping and credit card overdrafts, Doraemon owes an unprecedented debt of 300 billion yen?
This may seem incredible, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
Because the values and concepts of wealth in each era are very different.
Especially in the modern world, where material productivity is increasing rapidly, the wealth of many so-called poor people is far greater than that of the rich and wealthy in ancient times.
To take a more intuitive example, ancient silver and modern silver should be regarded as the same thing. The current price of silver in the international market is 4 yuan per gram. Then, according to the conversion ratio of one catty and sixteen taels, one tael of silver in the late Qing Dynasty is equivalent to about 3o grams, that is, if the difference in the purchasing power of currency in each era is not considered, then one tael of silver in the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to 12o yuan in modern times.
As of now, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but the question is that if the Qipin County Decree of the Qing Dynasty at that time had not been corrupt and bribed, and had harmed the public and private interests, the annual legal income would have been only about 100 taels of silver, that is, an annual salary of 12,000 yuan, and a monthly salary of only 1,000 yuan -- if such an income level had been placed in the big cities on the eastern coast of modern China, they would have degenerated into low-income households that were on the verge of receiving relief?!!
In some other areas, the differences in prices are even more pronounced between ancient and modern times. For example, in ancient times, it was common to buy an inferior maid for only a few taels to a dozen taels of silver, but in modern times, you would spend a few hundred or a thousand dollars to buy a woman and come back and try it? It's hard to even call a prostitute!
On the other hand, in the chengguan team where Wang Qiu interned, the monthly income of ordinary members of 2,000 yuan was equivalent to 500 grams of silver, or 16 taels per month, and an annual salary of about 200 taels -- this was not the income level of the working people at the bottom in ancient times!
(If you're interested, you might as well calculate how much your annual salary or tuition fees are equivalent to the modern world.) οΌ
Therefore, a house in the modern Beijing city was sold for at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty. If a real estate developer can contribute a residential building, then it is estimated that it will be enough to pay the reparations of the Opium War!
At that time, the Qing Dynasty was full of revenue, and it was not enough to buy a residential community in Beijing in the modern world...... The ancients were so poor!
This is still in modern China, where prices are relatively low, and even more so in modern Japan, where prices are relatively high - for example, Nohara Shinnosuke's father, Nohara Hiroshi, has an annual income of 6 million yen, which is probably even the level of the petty bourgeoisie in Japan, and he has to rely on installment loans to buy a house and a car. However, if Nohara Hiroshi's annual income is converted into silver, how many taels is it?
Well, one gram of silver is about four yuan, and one yuan is about sixteen yen...... In short, after listing a bunch of calculations, the final converted answer is very strong - Nohara Hiroshi's annual income is about 3,000 taels of silver! This is already the level of a Belle Lord in the Qing Dynasty!
On the other hand, if a Belle Lord in the Qing Dynasty traveled to Japan in the early 21st century, then he could only be like the Nohara family, a family of four huddled in a thin and narrow house, with a 30-year mortgage, unable to hire a nanny, and had to eat a barbecue meal for at least a week...... As for being like in the Qing Dynasty, they hugged before going out, and there were groups of servants at home, bullying men and women when they had nothing to do...... It's just a dream!
With the explosion of productivity levels, there can be such a huge difference between the per capita wealth of the modern world and the per capita wealth of the ancient world. Then, in the future world where the level of productivity is further improved and material wealth is greatly abundant, the standard of wealth and poverty is even worse than that of the modern world. Especially in the 22nd century, where Doraemon is located, it was a terrifying world where a bookmaker could use planets and space warships as lottery jackpots, and elementary school students could use their pocket money to buy a 100 billion equivalent nuclear bomb of annihilation!
- At Doraemon's time, the spaceship that could cross the galaxy and make space jumps with an extreme range of tens of thousands of light-years was actually a household vehicle similar to a modern bicycle, and Doraemon had one in his pocket......
Therefore, it seems normal for Doraemon from the 22nd century to owe an unprecedented debt of 300 billion yen in one go
Of course, it is also as bleak as the poor poor in the modern world who owe money to the gangsters and have to go to work in the Fukushima nuclear contaminated area to pay off their debts.

ββ¦β¦ That one...... Doraemon, if someone from a space-time debt collection agency comes to the door, what will you be like? Declaring bankruptcy? β
Watching Doraemon put the banknotes on the tatami mat back into the automatic pawn machine in frustration, and then took out a large number of bits and pieces that he had just pawned again, Wang Qiu, who felt that he couldn't seem to be able to use his strength, suddenly couldn't help but sigh and asked tentatively.
ββ¦β¦ It's worse than that! Even Doraemon himself will be used to pay off his debts - after all, the machine is also a commodity. β
Nobita replied dejectedly, "...... When I think of Doraemon going to be sold to someone else's house, I'm really sad and sad~~~"
Then, Doraemon added another fatal blow: "...... How can there be such a cheap thing? Ye Bijun, how can a defective machine like me, who has lost paint and had his ears bitten, be able to sell it in the 22nd century? If it is dragged by the bank to auction off the debt, most of them will be unsold because no one wants it, and in the end they can only be sent to the factory for scrapping and dismantling, and the intact parts and various rare materials in the body will be recycled......"
ββIn Wang Qiu's mind, a picture suddenly appeared of the cat being hung by iron chains and being broken into pieces with welding torches and other things...... Uh-huh? Why did it suddenly become a hunting beauty? And...... It sounds like a feeling that modern people are being "cut off their kidneys" by gangsters?
ββ¦β¦ Woooooooooooooooo Don't! Doraemon! Nobita collapsed on the tatami mat crying," ...... I can't watch you die! Think of a way! Doraemon! Haven't you always had the best idea? β
ββ¦β¦ I can't help it, Nobi-kun. If I have more time, then I might be able to think of some way to get the money together. But the problem is, we only have three hours left...... Uh, no, it's been two hours. In such a short period of time, I couldn't do anything.
What's worse is that at the moment when the bank sent the ultimatum, the space-time passage here has been blocked by the space-time authority, so I can't escape to other eras to avoid debts. And if I am trapped in this time and space, no matter where I hide within ten light years with a random door, the thugs of the debt collection agency can track it down in an instant with various props! β
Doraemon said calmly and desperately, spread a white cloth in the room, sat down on his knees, placed two more katana swords beside him, and announced with a heroic face, "...... I've decided, Nobi-kun! Instead of being sent to a scrap recycling plant to be cut in pieces and die without a corpse, it is better to commit suicide like a samurai! Nobita, since we are friends anyway, then it's up to you to make the mistake for me! β
ββ¦β¦ Doraemon !!! Nobita's face flowed with two wide noodle tears, and he couldn't cry silently while holding Doraemon.
And just when this pair of good friends hugged their heads and cried, and their feelings were infinite, Wang Qiu finally coughed dryly and intervened.
ββ¦β¦ Ahem! That one...... Nobi-kun, and Doraemon, although I really don't have the financial resources to help Doraemon pay off his debts - 300 billion yen is too much. But I know of a place where you should be able to temporarily avoid the thugs of the Plane Debt Collection Agency, and give you a buffer time so that you can slowly think about countermeasures...... Of course, it might be a little unsafe over there, depending on whether you dare to take the risk......"
β¦β¦
All in all, after some flickering by Wang Qiu's classmates, Doraemon and Nobita, who were already six gods and no master at this time, quickly agreed to help Wang Qiu and enter the main god world again to save those trapped newcomers, and by the way, avoid the pursuit of the time and space debt collection company......
Then, just an hour before the Space-Time Debt Collection Agency thugs arrived at Nobi's house, the three-person team finally completed their preparations.
ββ¦β¦ The Book of Crossing is activated, and the historical time and space under the main god system are entered: the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the second Kaifeng Defense War! β
Wang Qiu entered the command into the Book of Crossing and announced to Doraemon and Nobita, "...... Let's go on an adventure together! β
The next moment, with a burst of dazzling white light, the figures of the three of them disappeared from Nobita's room.
