(The second chapter arrives, please collect and ask for votes, thank you for the tips and evaluation votes of book friends "Cold Shadow Moon", "Fengmu Longbow" and "My baby is very cute".) )

Three hours later, in a small county town in Jinzhong

Among the largest Yuansheng pawnshops in the county, the shopkeeper in charge of the pawnshop was sweating profusely

"This, this guest, these guys you want to be don't dare to accept it! I implore this military master to raise his noble hand and let go of the small shop, and the small shop is willing to give 500 oceans to the military master as a filial piety. ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper, who was almost sixty years old, saw the bags of open guns and ammunition placed in the yard, nodded and begged for mercy very sincerely, and the few pawnshop guys in charge on the side also looked at Liu Qi in great horror.

“… I said, shopkeeper, are you wrong about something, you don't think I'm here to blackmail, right? Please see clearly, these are the arms and medicines that I am going to sell! ”

Liu Qi was speechless and looked at the scene of the gray-haired shopkeeper begging for mercy, what is going on? I'm just asking for dozens of three-eight big covers, a few crooked light machine guns, and dozens of boxes of bullet grenades in this pawnshop for a few antiques, so I don't have to look like I'm going to rob you, right? I remember that during the Republic of China and the Anti-Japanese War, weren't the arms and medicines in the Celestial Empire quite hot? Why doesn't this pawnshop accept it? Do you want to rob it yourself? It seems that this is not a place occupied by the foot basin chicken, and this pawnshop is also a legitimate business, Liu Qi said that if he wants to rob, he really can't do it, of course, he won't hesitate to change to a traitor.

“… Guest, you weren't a soldier? But really came to pawn? ”

After hearing Liu Qi's words, the old shopkeeper finally stopped begging for mercy and crying, but raised his head and looked at Liu Qi cautiously, his tone was very serious.

"Do I have to lie to you? Hurry up and give a good word, can these firearms and drug pawns be replaced with antiques and antiques? Of course, gold, silver, and jewelry can also be used, if you don't want to change it, the uncle will take things and leave! ”

Liu Qi was also a little angry, and threw out a sentence hard.

"Change! I'll give you a swap! Sanzi, hurry up and show me the list of dead deserved! ”

After hearing Liu Qi's affirmative answer, the pawnshop shopkeeper immediately agreed, and hurriedly instructed the guy to start preparing to exchange Liu Qi for antiques and antiques. Just kidding, the antiques in the chaos are not too valuable, there are many such dead antiques in the pawnshop, the pawn price is low, but the price of guns, ammunition and drugs is going all the way up, and there is still a price in the market, not that you can buy it directly if you have money.

Soon, Liu Qi knew why it was said that arms and medicines were a lucrative business.

"Seventeen antiques and curios??"

Liu Qi looked at the dozen or so antiques in front of him, and was a little surprised, can he exchange these antiques for only thirty three-eight big covers, two crooked handles and some ammunition, plus a box of ten bottles of medical alcohol and disinfectant bandages? ? Even if Liu Qi didn't know the evaluation of antiques, the dozen or so antiques in front of him gave Liu Qi a sense of oldness in the sense of spiritual power, and they were obviously all old objects with real years, not parallel goods.

"Guest, the total price of your guns, ammunition and medicine is six thousand oceans, and the total price of these seventeen antique shops is six thousand three hundred oceans, if you are not satisfied, you can discuss..."

The pawnshop shopkeeper was obviously a little mistaken, thinking that Liu Qi was dissatisfied with the price, so he quickly explained, and took out a list of pawn items to hand it to Liu Qi to see.

"No, I'm satisfied, just for the price! By the way, shopkeeper, can you eat more guns and ammunition here? I've got a larger batch of guns and ammunition on hand! ”

Liu Qi looked at the dozen or so antique vases, inkstones, and books, and was very satisfied with the results of this transaction, anyway, those firearms were all scavenged from those foot basin chicken soldiers, Liu Qi was not distressed, and besides, the most valuable thing on hand was those infantry guns and shells, which were things that could be exchanged for a lot of money.

"More?? Can the guest give me an approximate figure? ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper who heard that Liu Qi was very satisfied with this transaction breathed a sigh of relief, he could be said to have made a lot of money in this transaction, although the value of more than a dozen antiques and antiques was far more than 6,000 oceans. But now in this chaotic situation, there are really few people who have the leisure to play antiques, and these dozen antiques are all accepted by him at a lower price, and now seeing Liu Qi exchange guns, ammunition and medicines for antiques, he chose to sell them, and the dozen or so antiques he chose are genuine, and none of them are fakes. Well, of course, this is because Liu Qi is too arrogant to make a move, as soon as he shoots, he has 38 big covers and two crooked machine guns, and the pawnshop shopkeeper doesn't want to die by himself because of a few fakes in it - I believe that the person who can get these things is not something he can afford to provoke. Besides, these guns, ammunition and medicines are much more popular than antiques now, whether it is the landlord bandits, the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, or the miscellaneous army, the more weapons and ammunition the better, and the price is higher than the other.

There is no way, after the Taiyuan Arsenal that Yan Xishan has been operating for many years is almost intact and falls into the hands of the foot basin chicken, Yan Xishan, who could have met the Jin Suijun's own consumption and still has excess arms production for export in exchange for money and materials, can only rely on the small part of the relocated factories to produce a small amount of weapons and ammunition, and even cannot meet the requirements of the Jin Suijun itself, not to mention other Central Army, miscellaneous army, Eighth Route Army, etc., most of the new regiment like Li Yunlong can only hold old rifles, and a small number are also equipped with big knives.

Although the rest of the central army and miscellaneous armies were able to get some weapons and ammunition supplements, they also lacked enough weapons and ammunition, and as for those landlords, militias, bandits, and the like who spent a lot of money to buy weapons and ammunition to guard their homes or expand their strength, the arms market in Jin Province was extremely hot, and the prices of weapons and ammunition were also rising.

Liu Qi's batch of arms pawnshop shopkeepers can get nearly double the profits when they change hands, and medicine is even more popular, so when Liu Qi said that there were still guns and ammunition to trade, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Two hundred and eighty three-eight large covers, nine crooked light machine guns, nine grenadiers, four submachine guns, two miscellaneous rifles, one miscellaneous light machine gun, two Type 92 infantry guns, and a number of ammunition!"

Liu Qi calculated, threw out more than half of the rifles, light machine guns, grenadiers and miscellaneous goods in Call of Duty 5 that he had harvested, and even took out two Type 92 infantry guns.

"Guest, guest! You just said there is a cannon ???!! ”

When the pawnshop shopkeeper heard Liu Qi's words, especially after Zuihou's sentence of two Type 92 infantry guns, he seemed to have just discovered that he had Parkinson's disease, his hands trembled, and he asked tremblingly.

"YES, THE 70MM CALIBER TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUN PRODUCED BY TWO FOOT BASIN CHICKENS, WHAT? Questions? ”

Liu Qi looked at the pawnshop shopkeeper and was very curious, is it necessary to look like this?

"Guest! This, this little shop can't eat so many goods, especially those two infantry guns! The shop really doesn't have the ability to sell this kind of thing, this thing is too hot..."

After taking a few deep breaths, the shopkeeper finally calmed down and explained to Liu Qi.

It's not that he shirks, he can call the shots with dozens of rifles and two light machine guns, and just go back and discuss it with the master's family. But this kind of problem, which involves hundreds of rifles, a dozen machine guns, grenadiers, and artillery, is definitely not something he can do, and this kind of big deal can only be carried out with the nod of the master.

"It's easy to say, you can find someone who can eat it, I believe it should be able to eat it in one day, right?"

Liu Qi also felt that it was a bit unreliable to let the largest pawnshop in a small county eat this kind of weapons and equipment that was enough to arm an infantry battalion, but it didn't matter, there were people in Jinzhong who could eat this kind of ammunition.

"Cheng, this is no problem, my surname is Zhang, known as Zhang, I dare to ask the name of the guest, how to contact the guest? And is the guest going to trade it for real money or something else? ”

One day is enough, and the shopkeeper Zhang suddenly has a bottom in his heart, this deal seems to be gone, even if he can't eat this munition, but it is enough for his own family to get a share of it.

"Priority is given to exchanging antiques, followed by gold, silver, and jewelry, and as for things like banknotes, don't bring them! Tomorrow at this point, I will trade at the grove ten miles outside the city, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other! ”

Liu Qi didn't have the leisure to collect the fiat currency issued by the principal or Yan Xishan's local tickets, this must be said in advance, otherwise Liu Qi didn't want to receive a pile of waste paper by himself.

"Of course, the exchange of antiques is preferred, can any antiques be any?"

Shopkeeper Zhang is not surprised, in fact, paper money is really not very reliable in the Republic of China and the Anti-Japanese War, and there are not too many things to depreciate or anything. It's far less reliable than gold and silver, but it's a rare thing that this lord actually asks for priority in exchanging antiques.

Of course, what people like to exchange is people's freedom, and Shopkeeper Zhang can't control it, but just in case, Shopkeeper Zhang still inquired first to confirm the types of antiques in the transaction.

"That's right, as long as it's a real antique, there is no limit to the type of trade!"

Liu Qi didn't know how troubled he would be when he found out that there were so many types of traded goods to open a museum, but after he finished speaking, he began to prepare to leave to check his things.

An hour later, several fast horses began to run out of the county and began to run in one direction.

Two or three hours later, a group of cavalrymen dressed in the uniforms of the Jin Sui Army followed these returning fast horses into the county seat, and began to communicate and exchange interests with several large families in the county.

Liu Qi, who was conducting some special experiments, didn't know that a county town in Jinzhong Province in Liangjian Shijie had already set off a trace of waves because of his actions.

Well, of course, even if Liu Qi knew, he wouldn't care.
