Chapter 290: People are stupid and have a lot of money
The interview continued
"Is this donation on behalf of the Kingdom of Han Chen?" asked a reporter from the Global Daily.
"No! It's purely private!" The smuggler didn't dare to implicate Hanchen Island. Behind the cause and effect, who knows what will change?
"Hanchen is not a rich country, and Hanchen Island is not a big island with resources and trade. It is also located in the devil's westerly belt of the southern Indian Ocean, surrounded by strong winds and waves all year round.
On a small island with a radius of 90 kilometers, the island keepers can only live in caves all year round. All matter depends on external inputs.
Therefore, Han Chenguo did not need or have even a single gold surplus wealth! Of course, he did not have the ability to donate anything.
And I, before I became king, was a professional miner. My wealth surpasses that of my country!", this sentence is true.
"I'm curious, can you reveal something, what are you digging?"
"I found a high-grade vein. I beg your pardon, I can't tell you where it is. "Anyway, if you don't say it, people in France can still find it. After all, hundreds of kilograms of gold sand can't be hidden.
"I guess a lot of people want to know, where are you going next? After all, a monarch whose wealth exceeds that of a country is really curious. ”
Xiao Qi Man: "Go home! Go back to Hanchen Island! Go back to the place left by our ancestors." In a few years, when I take off my responsibilities, I will experience a prosperous Europe again!
Before I went back, I had to buy some books, especially the Encyclopædia Britannica! Unfortunately, I didn't find that book in the bookstore. Therefore, I intend to publish a revelation in your newspaper.
I've already bought a ticket to the New World in a week's time, and before that, I'll buy someone else's Encyclopedia Britannica for two gold taels. Of course, missing pages are not accepted. ”
The last sentence is mainly worried that someone will tear out some useful chapters, so that the book is no longer complete, and cause and effect will be born in vain!
......
"A Thousand Gold Coins", "Let Mankind Equip the Wings of Knowledge", "My Wealth, Surpassing My Country!"
"Revelation: Two gold coins in a set of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Acquired before 10 a.m. on September 2, 1776 in the library of the British Museum.
The newspaper was published in the morning, and someone came in the afternoon with a book. And old man Martin brought the family set when he went to work. After all, I heard that the second edition will come out next year!
The two of them checked and paid at the same time, and muttered: "I said, curator, why do so many people come to transfer and pinch? There are almost 100 sets in one afternoon!"
"Two gold coins of 32 grams of pure gold are equal to four and a half pounds!Do you know the value of four and a half pounds?" said the old man Martin to a certain country king.
"The constitution of Great Britain stipulates that you must have two pounds of property in order to have the right to vote and be elected! Sell a set of books and become a propertied citizen at once! No one is a fool! Know what it means!" The old man looked at the country king, who was stupid and rich, and was speechless.
Sure enough, on the second and third days, the people who delivered the books came in a surge. By the deadline, I had received 863 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica!
"Alas, the people at this time are simple! This play, in the future generations, will be more than 20,000 gold coins!" a certain country king, who was regarded by the British as a fool and a man with a lot of money, sat in a carriage bound for Portsmouth, and sighed!
"Boss, why do you buy so many books?" Chen Yaogan looked at the wooden box containing the books at his feet, a little puzzled by the boss's purpose.
"Is it good to repay the cause and effect! I understand it, and it is not cost-effective to repay the cause and effect with gold coins! If I donate first this time, and then read it at the invitation of the other party, the money spent will be much less!
Cause and effect, I have to make people owe me first, and then I want to come back! In this way, the effort will be much less!" However, Chen Yaosen's question was not answered.
"Then, what does it have to do with buying so many books?" Chen Yaogan was even more puzzled.
Deity: "You said we bought every version of this set of books." In the afterlife, will it be very valuable?"
Chen Yaogan: "Yes!"
Deity: "If I show up these hundreds of complete copies of the Encyclopædia Britannica, do you think the British will come to my door?"
Chen Yaogan: "Yes!"
"The one who sent it to the door is super karma! It only cost two thousand gold coins! I will laugh when I think about it!" "The nature of the little man is exposed again!
Chen Yaogan: "I still don't understand, what is the benefit of the super karma owed to us?
The deity: "That's a good point! We don't have to worry about money! The British don't worry about money! But if we exchange these more than 800 sets of super treasures in the eyes of the British for Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum, do you think, will they agree to the exchange?"
Chen Yaogan: "It's possible!"
Xiao Qi Man: "I said before that I owe the cause and effect of Boss Pan, and I still owe the earth civilization, the Chinese civilization, my father and mother, relatives and elders."
Among them, the cause and effect owed to the Chinese civilization is the most difficult to repay! At present, I only think of repaying it by returning the precious cultural relics! Moreover, the cost is not much! The key is that with the urine of the British in later generations, people will not sell those stolen Chinese cultural relics!"
Chen Yaogan: "Then why don't we stop the robbery of the British?"
The deity: "Boss Pan has said this twice! History cannot be changed! Still less can it be changed because of us! Why can't it be changed? I don't know! Boss Pan won't talk nonsense! I guess he knows something! Boss Pan won't harm us! Let's just obey and do it!"
The ship they had agreed to set sail from Portsmouth Harbor early tomorrow morning was destined for New York Harbor in the New World.
In the evening of the same day, the ship, named the Rose Queen of York, was a mail ship to and from the Old and New Continents.
The stowaway man took Chen Yaogan and Chen Ran and ran away, and put the box containing the books into the cargo hold. Chen Ming, on the other hand, drove the carriage into the dark and uninhabited place, and took the cart and the horse into the little star.
Because he has entered Chen Ming's little star many times, David Ma is not afraid at all, but a little excited. Because it remembers, there is wine here, ha!
The stowaway man booked a room on the top floor. At this time, the Atlantic mail ship was not as luxurious as that of later generations, and it was mainly used to transport parcels. The narrow four-person cabin is already a rarity, and the other cabins are all bunked.
This season is suitable for sea sailing, and it is also suitable for travelers to have dinner and stand on the side of the boat to watch the sea view.
"Alan, is dinner appetizing?" "Well, that bean sprouts are so delicious! Mom, I heard that bean sprouts are made from beans, why are boiled beans so unpalatable?"
“
There is a very amazing story about the dish of bean sprouts! It is said that there was a captain named Kerguelan who got lost at sea......
