Immigration, of course, is a very difficult thing for fart people. But for the rich, it is not difficult. Even if Li Anran is now at an age and is no longer suitable to achieve this goal by studying abroad, at least there are still channels for investment immigration to choose from. It's a big deal to spend more money and build a company, anyway, the future plan will involve many aspects, and it is not just right to open a trading company.
It is precisely because of the high capital requirements of investment immigrants, and after the company opens, all aspects also need corresponding investment and expenditure. In this case, Li Anran naturally wanted to accumulate a start-up capital sufficient for his development in modern time and space in a short period of time. But selling gold and jade can happen a few times in a few times, but too many times can cause trouble. Therefore, it is best to find more and safer ways to make money.
Li Anran's request this time is actually very simple, first, he wants to collect some antiquities from the previous dynasties, and the time can't be too close, at least before the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There is a time difference of more than 300 years, and such an antiquity can already become an antique when it comes to modern time and space. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, sword coins, cloth coins and other things with great characteristics of the times. Of course, considering that this speculation has yet to be verified, I didn't dare to ask for too much.
Second, on the grounds that he planned to expand the village, he wanted to ask Wu Chengen and Zheng Chenggong to help buy some good wood. For example, Hainan Huanghuali, small-leaved red sandalwood, and even agarwood, golden silk nanmu and other excellent colors. Don't look at it as just wood, but the value of putting it in modern time and space is quite high. However, with high value comes a corresponding increase in sensitivity. Fortunately, Hu Jing's mysterious boyfriend's background seems to be quite deep, even if it is far from trust, but it can also be tested.
I believe that with the courage of the other side to come up with a Remington shotgun and a 64-style police pistol, as long as it is not a business with too much interest, it should not cause any trouble. Of course, we should not be negligent in what should be prevented.
Li Anran's third requirement is medicinal materials, and the reason is even simpler, he wants to use alchemy. For this reason, the content of qi disease and wind disease was also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally. He said that although he could not bring immortal medicine from the upper realm, he could use the medicinal materials of the mortal world to refine elixirs suitable for various symptoms, including varieties that could effectively alleviate qi and wind diseases.
The reason why qi disease and wind disease are deliberately mentioned is because Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who has just ascended the throne, suffers from wind disease, and it is the kind that is inherited. Otherwise, Li Er's favorite daughter, Xiao Zizi, that is, Princess Jinyang, would not have died early at a young age because of this disease. As for the qi disease, it is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also Li Shimin's favorite woman, the eldest grandson empress, according to historical records, the queen died of illness in the tenth year of Zhenguan.
As for Gu Bangcai, who was the commander of Lantian County, knew that Lu Dao did not know Lu Dao, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were suffering from illness, Li Anran did not care. Knowing the Tao is naturally the best, and this life-saving grace can be put in any era, even in the face of the emperor and empress, who sit at the top of the "pyramid", it still has great benefits. Even if you don't know the way, according to historical records, it won't be long before Li Shimin and Empress Changsun will get sick, and then they will have their own use. You can even take this opportunity to show your prophetic abilities that you have anticipated.
In addition to antiquities, wood and medicinal materials, Li Anran also specially asked about Tianhuangshi. It's a pity that Tian Huangshi, which is many times more valuable than gold in later generations, but still has no price, has not spread in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that it began to really enter the eyes of literati and scholars, and then with the passage of time, the production of Tian Huang itself is scarce, more and more popular, hotter and hotter, and the most Lu was fired out of the sky-high price.
Fortunately, although he didn't ask about Tian Huang, Li Anran had already found out the area where the real Tian Huang was produced on the Internet before. For this reason, I also deliberately paid someone to get an illustrated map on the Internet, and made a detailed marking.
In addition to Tian Huang, there are also bloodstones of the same high value. This thing is known as the "Queen of Printed Stones". However, like Tian Huang, he was still in a state of obscurity during the Tang Dynasty. According to research, the formal mining of bloodstone began in the Song Dynasty and became famous in the Qing Dynasty. Emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing appreciated Changhua bloodstone very much and used it as the chapter material of the treasure seal. This led to the fact that in later generations, bloodstone would be fried to a sky-high price.
Similarly, regarding the true origin of bloodstone, as well as some corresponding precautions, Li Anran also asked someone to make an illustrated map. I have to admit that the saying "money is easy to do" is indeed true in modern time and space. Just spent 10,000 yuan on the freelancer, and in just over an hour, two accurate maps were made, and the words on them were changed to traditional according to the requirements.
In fact, this price is already considered high, if Li Anran is not in a hurry, at least half of the money can be spent. It's a pity that after thinking about this matter at that time, I just thought that I could get this matter done as soon as possible, so I hurriedly placed an order. What's more, once the origin of Tianhuang and bloodstone can be found, oh haha, the income will definitely reach tens of thousands of times, or even more. Compared to such a return, 10,000 yuan can be nothing.
Unfortunately, it will take a lot of time to really complete this treasure hunt. After all, during this period of the Tang Dynasty, even if there were caravans engaged in long-distance freight business, but due to the restrictions of transportation and road conditions, if you want to bring back an item that is more than a thousand kilometers away, aside from the time to find the item, it will be a rather long process just in terms of transportation. Fortunately, Li Anran can afford to wait for now.
As for why he spent such a big price, and even did not hesitate to form two caravans to rush to these two places, Li Anran naturally could not say that he was making money. Fortunately, whether it is Tianhuang or bloodstone, to some extent, it is a mineral. Therefore, in the face of Zheng Chenggong's doubts, he gave an excuse for a certain material substitute. What kind of material it is, but it is not mentioned in a pretended profoundness.
Li Anran actually knew that asking the other party to help find these two stones with such fanfare would inevitably attract the attention of Zheng Chenggong and Li Shimin. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you pay attention. Just like in later generations, crayfish were originally everywhere, but no one cared about them. Not to mention selling for money, no one even eats it. But when the lobster festival starts and the way to eat spicy lobster is popularized, the value will immediately increase exponentially.
The most important thing is that the material that can be taken care of by a Youdao Quanzhen, even if you don't know the specific purpose, I believe that after you find something, the value of whether it is Tian Huang or Bloodstone will definitely skyrocket. Even if the truth of the matter is only in the hands of a few people, it is common for officials to be together and pat at the horse. Once the people below find out that the superior has this preference, it will not be long before an atmosphere of upward and downward effect will naturally form.
Fortunately, Li Anran didn't really think about taking all the Tianhuang and Bloodstone for himself, as long as he could get enough of them, it would be more than enough to lay a good foundation for the immigration and trade plans to be implemented in modern time and space. As for how to make money in the future, with the massive untapped resources owned by Datang Time and Space, as long as the corresponding channels are built, it is really not a difficult thing.
Li Anran originally wanted to keep Gu Bangcai and them for dinner, but it would take time to improve the Quyuan plow. And the method of using sugar making technology to make salt is also very important for the entire Datang. Therefore, after asking for three new plows that Zhou carpenter and they rushed to work, Gu Bangcai, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen got up directly to say goodbye and flashed.
Li Anran, who knew how important the Quyuan plow and salt-making technique he took out today, did not keep it anymore. After watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road, Zhao Er and Zhao Er's mother-in-law who came back with him before were called to the front hall.
