This time, Lin Ze emptied the gold reserves of all the big households in the county and obtained a total of 110,000 taels of gold.

In order to exchange for these gold, Lin Ze spent 1.1 million taels of silver, in addition to the silver taels he had accumulated in business, even the million taels of silver he had just purchased from Qixia Bank were used for seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Next, Lin Ze must purchase another batch of silver, otherwise the follow-up business of the gold bank will not be able to be launched.

"This time, let's just buy 10 million taels of silver."

Lin Ze thought in his heart.

The price of gold in the Overworld has recently risen again, from 420 yuan per gram to 450 yuan a gram.

The price of silver has risen from 5.21 yuan a gram to 5.31 yuan a gram.

In exchange for 110,000 taels of gold, Lin Ze spent 1.1 million taels of silver, worth 292.05 million.

110,000 taels of gold, 450 pieces per gram according to the current gold price in the Overworld, worth 2.475 billion.

In other words, Lin Ze's gold bank has just opened for one day, and it directly earned 2,182.95 billion.

This is faster than selling mushrooms and selling large yellow croaker.

When Lin Ze uses the gold he earned to buy 10 million silver in the main world, and then returns to the other world to exchange it for gold, then Lin Ze's assets will be doubled again, and the gold and silver transaction between the two realms that he stepped on his left foot and ascended to heaven with his right foot will officially be on the right track.

"The only regret is that the gold in Fengping County has basically been scraped, and if you want to buy gold in the future, you can only go through the long run, and you can't get rich overnight like what you are looking for."

"If I want to scrape gold on a large scale, I may have to wait until my strength in the other world further expands."

Lin Ze sighed with some greed.

In the next two days, Lin Ze continued to stare at the operation of the gold bank.

At this time, there was not much business on the side of the gold bank itself, and the main focus of the business shifted to the dock area, exchanging silver and copper coins for merchants who came and went to buy gold by the way.

Because of the guarantee of the Cao Gang, the merchants who came and went had some trust in Lin Ze, the newly opened Zhiyuan Gold Bank.

But even so, he could only scrape about one or two thousand taels of gold for Lin Ze every day.

For the time being, though, that's enough.

——

On October 28, Lin Ze once again switched his attention back to the Overworld.

Recently, Ji Shuqing has been busy with Meiweilin's career, so she doesn't have the time and energy to pester Lin Ze, and being able to make a video call every day can be regarded as busy.

In Ji Shuqing's field of vision, Lin Ze is also as busy as her, and sometimes he is not even in the country.

So she didn't have any suspicions about Lin Ze, who often disappeared.

In the evening, Golden Continent.

Aside from using the Heavenly Gate to come over, this is the second time that Lin Ze has come here openly.

The last time Lin Ze dropped off at Xihai International Airport, and then went to Yulin City by land.

And this time it didn't go that way.

Directly came to the pier not far from the airport, took the accompanying security personnel from here to take a sea boat, traveled along the coastline for a distance, turned into an inland river, and drove directly to the vicinity of the Yulin City wharf.

The pier was recently renovated and was designed to receive supplies from outside the Golden Continent at any time.

In order to facilitate transportation, this wharf has also built a new concrete cement road, which leads directly into Yulin City.

On the dockside, Zhang Hai came to greet Lin Ze.

He was followed by a long motorcade of soldiers with guns on their backs and in military uniforms.

It's just that from the fact that these soldiers are not very robust, it can be seen that they are not elite soldiers, but more like new soldiers.

And this is the result of Zhang Hai's recent period.

"Good brother, I haven't seen you in a while."

Zhang Hai hugged Lin Ze and said with a smile.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, brother, you've been radiant lately, and you've become slimmer."

Lin Ze patted Zhang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Hai was a white fat man of 300 pounds before, but now he has lost at least twenty or thirty pounds, and his skin has become darker.

Still, the spirit head is good.

It can be seen that the other party should have been busy with his career during this time.

After the greetings, the group was ready to set off.

Lin Ze drove out a lot of bulletproof off-road vehicles he had recently bought from the dock warehouse.

These cars were bought and sent by the way when they were transporting supplies to the Golden Continent recently.

In order to manage these materials, Lin Ze also arranged for Zhao Wenrou to open a branch base on the Golden Continent side, and arranged some employees to manage the materials here.

Zhang Hai led the way with his personal guards, and Lin Ze followed behind with his own security guards, and the two heavily armed convoys walked along the cement road and finally drove into Yulin City.

Lin Ze's estate has not yet been repaired, and it is expected to be completed in another two months.

So this time, Lin Ze is still temporarily staying at Zhang Hai's house.

During the banquet, Lin Ze and Zhang Hai talked about things while eating.

Zhang Hai ate a shrimp and said with a smile: "Aze, the materials you have supported in the recent period are very timely, and the recruitment of personnel on my side is very smooth, and now five thousand people have been recruited, and they are currently receiving basic military training." ”

"At present, the expenses of these 5,000 people are divided into these parts, the first part is the salary, for the time being, aside from the core subordinates under my command as officers, the salary of these ordinary soldiers is about 500 yuan per person."

"In addition, it is weapons and equipment, an automatic rifle costs 500 yuan a piece, each person is equipped with a hundred rounds of ammunition, the cost is 60 yuan, and then there is the supply of logistics materials, food, clothing, shelter and the like, which costs about 500 yuan a month."

"The total investment of an ordinary soldier is 1,560 yuan, and the total cost of 5,000 people is about 7.8 million."

"At present, these soldiers are still undergoing physical training, and they can't waste too many bullets, considering the cost of follow-up live shooting, the maintenance cost of 1,100 yuan per month in the future, the total budget is about 5.5 million, and it can be done within 80 million yuan in a year, including officers and other expenses."

Yes?

Hearing Zhang Hai's offer, a little question mark appeared on Lin Ze's head.

He had planned to give Zhang Hai an annual budget of seven or eight hundred million yuan to build this army, but this brother actually got eighty million yuan.

"Can such a small amount of money make the locals play with their lives?"

Lin Ze was surprised.

He wasn't surprised that an automatic rifle cost only five hundred yuan, and the production cost of this thing was not high, two or three hundred yuan.

As an arms distributor, Zhang Hai can get the goods at cost price, and it took 500 yuan to get them, and it is estimated that the extra part of the money is due to the loss of freight.

"A place that hovers near the food and clothing line, and resigns itself to fate when you get sick, isn't our treatment at the level of a golden rice bowl?"

"If it weren't for a lot of locals, I wouldn't be able to believe it, and it wouldn't be too much for us to pull up an army of 100,000 in minutes."

Zhang Hai was also surprised.

For many Golden Continent locals, they may not be able to eat enough, and the treatment given by Zhang Hai is already very high.

"Yes, I'm overestimating."

Lin Ze was speechless.

He has imagined the living standards of the local people in the Golden Continent as low as possible, and feels that no matter how bad they are, they will not play for a little money, after all, there are gold minerals here, there are people at home and abroad constantly circulating, and the price economy should be partially in line with the outside world.

But now reality tells him that what he sees is only superficial, and more people are still struggling to get fed.

The income level here can be fully in line with the agrarian society.

"But this is also temporary, as we continue to develop gold mines, operate and build this site, people's living standards will go up, and the cost of employment will gradually increase, and the cost will at least increase by about four or five times."

"But at least ten years later, we need to think about this, we can still use this low cost to maintain the army and protect our gold mining for the time being."

Zhang Haidao.

"You can't expect others to sell your life just for a bite to eat."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement.

——

But at this time, a new idea and inspiration popped up in Lin Ze's mind.

"The cost of employment here in the Golden Continent is so low, then I can let them help me make copper coins!"

On the side of the Overworld, there is no need for copper coins.

Copper has changed from a monetary material to a completely industrial material now, but copper coins are still used as currency in other worlds.

Lin Ze didn't make copper coins by himself before, the reason is very simple, it is not cost-effective.

The raw material of copper coin is copper-zinc alloy brass, the price of a ton of brass is 41,000 yuan, a gram of copper is 0.041 yuan, and the weight of a copper coin is about 5 grams, which is converted into the cost of a copper coin of 0.205 yuan.

According to the calculation that 1,000 copper coins are equal to one tael of silver, the cost of making copper coins for one tael of silver is 205 yuan, and one tael of silver is worth about 265 yuan, and it seems that the profit of making one tael of silver with copper coins is 60 yuan.

But this 205 yuan is just pure material money.

If you add in the cost of equipment, electricity, labor, and the time cost of making copper coins, there is nothing to be gained.

In this case, it is not as convenient and quick as buying silver directly.

And now, Lin Ze saw a new possibility here in the Golden Continent.

The labor here is so cheap that it is almost negligible, and in this case, even if you count the equipment and electricity costs, you can still maintain a profit of about 20 yuan for 1,000 copper coins.

At the current speed of the machine, hundreds or thousands of copper coins can be made in one minute.

Many machines work together, and hundreds of thousands of copper coins can be produced in one minute, and the number of copper coins produced in a day is calculated in hundreds of millions.

Make a little copper money, of course, you can't make much money.

But if you make 10 million copper coins, it will be 200,000 profits, and if you make 100 billion copper coins, it will be 2 billion profits.

Of course, the most important point is that brass, the raw material of copper coins, is everywhere in the main world, and the reserves that can be purchased are calculated in 100 million tons, so Lin Ze does not have to worry about the shortage of raw materials at all.

Previously, Lin Ze calculated that he would use silver to plunder about 10,000 tons of gold in the other world at most.

But if he produced copper coins infinitely on the side of the Golden Continent, then theoretically he could plunder all the gold and even silver on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

10,000 tons of gold can only bring Lin Ze four trillion benefits, but if all the silver and gold from the other world are plundered, it may bring Lin Ze a huge profit of more than 20 trillion!

"Over there, it's not good for me to take out electrical appliances and find cheap people from the other world to help make copper coins."

"But here in the Golden Continent of the main world, there is no such concern, after all, although the locals of the Golden Continent cannot afford to use electrical appliances, it is not rare, and the only concern is that maybe others will wonder why I make so many copper coins."

Lin Ze's mind turned, and he quickly found a reason to cover up.

He is using the cheap labor here in the Golden Continent to make handicrafts.

It can be sold back to China for the blessing of temples and Taoist temples, and in addition, it can also be sold in online stores at the price of one dollar.

When the time comes, you can arrange to load these copper coins on a ship and transport them away, and on the way, Lin Ze himself can open the Heavenly Gate and send them to the other world to save them.

After all, there is only one person he needs to cover up, Zhang Hai, and as for what others think, Lin Ze doesn't care much about this.

As Lin Ze's partner, as long as Lin Ze does not directly endanger his interests, then he will generally take an attitude of ignoring Lin Ze's affairs and believing what he says.

Then, these copper coins that Lin Ze brought to the other world can be used in the process of the operation of the gold bank, as well as in the process of Lin Ze's own salary or purchase.

Naturally flow into the market of the other world, and quietly plunder the gold and silver of the other world.

"The plan is perfect, and the next thing we need to do is to build a power station here in Yulin City, and then buy a batch of equipment from China to make copper coins."

"Yulin City wants to open a gold mine, the power station is necessary, and now I want to make copper coins in batches, which is nothing more than to increase the power generation power, and then the equipment of copper coins is not expensive, 10,000 yuan a piece, and then there are copper materials."

"These things can be purchased from China in the name of Yulin City, and then paid for with hard currency such as gold."

Lin Ze's plan has been decided, and the entire plan has been perfected in an instant.

——

After dinner, Zhang Hai took Lin Ze to see the new army that had just been recruited and was training.

Five thousand locals, under the leadership of some of Zhang Hai's personal guards and instructors served by Lin Ze's subordinate security personnel, carried out physical training and queue training.

These new troops have only been trained for more than ten days, and they are not considered to be strong troops, but they can only be said to have just taken shape.

However, these locals are very serious in training, and it seems that they cherish this hard-won opportunity to join the army and eat, and if they continue to train like this, even if they are not comparable to the main armies of the major powers in the world today, they can get rid of the title of rabble.

"Not bad."

Lin Ze praised it.

Zhang Hai was very helpful to Lin Ze's praise, and said modestly with a smile: "Aze, the many materials you support are also very important. ”

The two people blew each other in business.

When he walked back, Zhang Hai suddenly became curious and asked, "Aze, you are the city lord here, and you are recruiting a large army to be a warlord, do you have any opinions in the country?" ”
